The 51st Chapter: Heaven's Spirit True Heart Pill, The Legendary Reversal of Heaven's Divine Pill

  What task rewards as high as 150 learning points?

  Chu Yun almost thought he had misheard. However, seeing Bai Mei Dan Sheng's serious expression, he immediately realized that this mission was not ordinary.

  "This is a secret mission, and it will not be displayed in the Miscellaneous Hall. The reward points obtained will also not be announced."

  "Secret mission, I've heard of it from my junior. The masters will select some students who meet the standards, ask them first, and only inform them of the mission content after they accept it. I didn't expect that I would also receive a secret mission." Chu Yun rubbed his nose and smiled.

  Bai Mei Dan Shi glanced at him, his tone slightly relieved: "If not you, then who? You are my most satisfactory disciple and the true number one of Tian Ge Shu Yuan. Will you take this task or not?"

  "Hmm, although I don't know what the task is about, can I at least know the punishment for failing it?" Chu Yun didn't rush to answer, but instead asked a question in return.

  A hint of admiration flashed across Bai Mei's eyes. In fact, what he admired most was not Chu Yun's talent and hard work, but his calm and composed demeanor.

  "This secret mission has no penalty for failure," he said.

  "No penalty for failure?" Chu Yun's face turned solemn, he wasn't worried about the task with additional penalties. But he dreaded tasks without penalties for failure. Because such tasks often came with life-threatening risks.

  "Indeed, Bai Mei Dan Shifu continued: "If one dies in the task, then what's the point of these failure punishments? So let's just not set up any punishments. Will you accept or not?"

  "Alright, how can we waste our lives on trivial matters? Can't we find some companions to do it together?" Chu Yun didn't hesitate, unlike other scholars who might be intimidated by the "danger to life". He had been through more than twenty years of struggles between life and death in his previous life, with an unyielding determination that made him fearless of risks.

  Of course, being fearless is courage, but there's still rationality.

  "If I had listened to the content of the task, it's really too dangerous. Then pretend to be lazy and refuse to do it. If things go wrong, it will affect my relationship with Bai Mei Dan Shifu, and there is no way to fix it. Everything should be done within one's power, life is one's own. However, judging from the task issued by the academy, the risk shouldn't be too great. If a student dies in school, it would be a huge blow to Tian Ge Academy's reputation." Chu Yun also had her own thoughts.

  Bai Mei Dan Shi nodded in satisfaction: "You can form a team to complete the task. If you succeed, each of you will get 150 academic credits."

  Bai Mei Dan Shi knew that Chu Yun would definitely call Jin Bi Han along. He also knew that Jin Bi Han's purpose in coming to the academy was to accumulate 1000 academic points, which could be exchanged for the top-grade demonic-suppressing technique "Shen Jiu Xiao". So he opened the door and secretly took care of him.

  Chu Yun's eyes lit up and her eyebrows rose: "Please have Dan Shifu elaborate on the task details."

  Bai Mei Dan Shifu didn't speak directly, but instead asked a question: "Have you heard of the Tian Ling Zhen Xin Dan?"

  "Tianling Zhenxin Dan? I seem to recall... Wait a minute, could it be the legendary, all-around attribute booster that even causes a permanent surge in internal spiritual energy - the Heavenly Reversal Divine Pill?" Chu Yun pondered for a moment before exclaiming in surprise.

  "Not bad." Bai Mei Dan Sheng nodded, "The greatness of the Tian Ling Zhen Xin Dan lies in its ability to comprehensively and greatly enhance a person's body, soul, and spiritual energy. There are indeed many legends about it, among which two are the most famous."

  "Six hundred years ago, a monarch facing the danger of national subjugation had his capital city breached by an army of thousands, and the enemy was already preparing for a victory banquet. He, however, fled to the wilderness with only a handful of defeated soldiers. It was at this time that his beloved queen concocted the Heavenly Spirit True Heart Elixir for him. The monarch took it and his strength greatly increased, using his own power to turn the tide of war and begin the recovery of his kingdom. He is the renowned Jiangyue King, the fourth ruler of the Jianghan Kingdom, shining brightly for all eternity, his name etched in history."

  "Three hundred years ago, a young man with poor qualifications, who couldn't participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the demon-suppressing masters and wanted to end his life. His mother refined the Tianling True Heart Pill for him. From then on, he was unstoppable, roaming the world, and no one didn't fear him. He is the Nine Ghost King, founder of the first-rate sect Jiuyou City in Xingzhou, whose reputation even after death still intimidates the heroes of a region."

  "Tianling Zhenxin Dan can enhance a person's innate talent. It is the real heavenly elixir!" White Eyebrow Dan Master took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently on Chu Yun, "Chu Yun, your mission this time is to find the formula for Tianling Zhenxin Dan. So far, the news has not leaked out. However, in case of an emergency, here are some elixirs that can be used as a backup plan, I'm giving them to you. Remember, if the news leaks out, retreat immediately."

  "I knew the academy wouldn't let us students go to our deaths. As expected, they've prepared a way for us to save our lives." Chu Yun's heart slightly rejoiced, and upon taking the medicinal pill, her joy suddenly expanded, unable to be suppressed, and revealed on her face.

  These three elixirs are all top-grade elixirs.

  A Life Dream Pill, with a soft green glow, allows one to enter the deepest level of sleep when consumed. If encountered by an unworthy strong enemy, feeding them this pill will cause them to fall into a death-like slumber, even if they are hacked to pieces they won't wake up. If oneself is severely injured and on the verge of death, consuming this pill can also induce a death-like slumber, temporarily preserving one's life.

  A black-hearted, intestine-severing pellet, with a white medicinal coat and numerous small black protrusions on the outside. At first glance, it's clear that this is an extremely toxic pellet. If the enemy ingests it, they will suffer a sudden and severe case of heartbreak and intestinal rupture, with a toxicity so potent that it can be used to assassinate without fail.

  There is also a demonic pill that can be taken by both humans and demons, which causes a rapid increase in power within a short period of time. However, it fills the body with an extremely violent and brutal emotion, causing one to lose their rationality and carry out destructive actions that bring about catastrophic consequences.

  Chu Yun took over the three elixirs in the bottle, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. In his past life as a wandering swordsman, when taking on tasks from the Swordsman Association, he often risked his life nine times out of ten. It was nothing like the tasks at the Academy, where even if there was a slight danger to one's life, they would proactively offer elixirs and remind him to prioritize survival over completing the task. The treatment was simply worlds apart.

  No wonder those prodigies of past lives achieved such great success in later years. Such a good growth environment must have been rewarding.

  This further proves that Chu Yun's decision was correct, entering the Tian Ge Academy and having such a good development environment is precious for himself who has not yet grown in combat power!

  After leaving the school, Chu Yun contacted Yan Que and Jin Bi Han.

  "Secret mission, if completed, 150 credits per person? I didn't hear that wrong?" Yan Que's eyes widened in shock as he heard Chu Yun's summons for the first time. He had been living in the academy for two and a half years and had never seen such a task before.

  "The task of three generations, is only 100 credits. 150 credits, this is an unprecedented high score. Thank you, Chu brother, this time no matter what I will try." In Jin Bi Han's eyes, which were as bright as the moon, a ripple of light flashed.

  "There's no need for such polite words, it's all thanks to your Jade Dream that I was able to achieve so much." Chu Yun waved his hand, feeling that Jin Bi Han was being too courteous.

  Jin Bi Han shook her head: "Chu brother, you are too modest. With your talent, temperament and artistic skills, it's only a matter of time before you shake the world. My Jade Dream Realm is just adding flowers to brocade. I believe Yan Que senior also shares the same feeling, right?"

  "The young master is indeed not an ordinary kind of genius." Yan nodded, solemnly agreeing.

  Chu Yun smiled bitterly in the dark, he had self-awareness and knew that he relied heavily on the convenience of his past life memories. However, this was also an advantage, it couldn't be denied, if used well, its value would be immeasurable.

  "Alright, let's go see the client first." With a collected mood, Chu Yun naturally took on the role of leader.

  Tian Ge Academy has always adhered to the principle of neutrality, but this does not mean that it is helpless. Za Wu Tang is a great idea, where the masters of the academy will release many learning tasks, and also release training tasks in response to current events.

  For example, near Qing Shan Island, a fleet was attacked by a small group of pirates or encountered a sea monster and was about to sink. After assessing the difficulty, this trial mission would be released for the Tian Ge Shu Yuan to assist.

  For example, some time ago, a large number of black crows infested a certain village island, turning the good forest into a dark forest. Someone from the village island came to the Tian Ge Academy for help, and Chu Yun and others accepted this task. They can gain some wealth and get real training at the same time.

  For the Tian Ge Academy, this kind of trial mission has an even more significant meaning. That is, it can indirectly intervene in the affairs of the Star Group Islands, greatly expanding the academy's influence and winning the goodwill of the islanders.

  This move has grasped the psychology of the major forces in the Star Group Islands very well. The masters of the Academy have never taken action, only entrusting the students of the Academy to act, so the Star Group Islands will not rebound and think that the Tian Ge Academy has violated the principle of neutrality and intervened in their disputes.

  Chu Yun's previous rise to fame was also due to this method. The Tian Ge Academy gained not only wealth from selling the Rise Dan, but also the gratitude of the islanders. In their eyes, the Tian Ge Academy was also a great contributor to resolving the sea salt crisis.

  Adding to the reputation of Tian Ge Academy, it has always been much better than You Xia Guild. Whenever islanders have something difficult to solve, they often choose to go to Tian Ge Academy to request help. Then, the masters will evaluate and if suitable, post it on the Miscellaneous Hall.

  This time, the task related to Tianling Zhenxin Dan was such a situation. The islander Yu Shi came from afar, specially running over to ask for help.
