It is said to make Xiang Bo smarter, but in fact, it was to improve Xiang Bo’s aptitude somewhat. Aptitude refers to the innate talent for cultivation. The better the aptitude, the more suitable one is for cultivation, and consequently, the higher the achievements one can attain in the future.

A person’s level of aptitude is determined at birth; what you are born with is what you have. Many cultivators cannot accept their own or their loved ones’ low aptitudes, so they have thought of many ways to change it. In their tireless efforts, they have indeed found some methods to alter aptitude. Among these, the most commonly used are two. One is natural treasures generated by heaven and earth. When encountering such treasures, one need not do anything but directly consume them. However, natural treasures are too rare to meet the demands of cultivators, which leads to the second method. This involves using these natural treasures as the main ingredient, supplemented by other precious herbs to perform alchemy, thus obtaining pills that can also change one’s aptitude.

Qi Tian happened to have such a pill in his hand, and needless to say, it was also an inheritance from Master Ming Ren. The preciousness of this pill goes without saying, and any description would hardly be an exaggeration. In the eyes of those in need, even trading a city for it would be considered cheap.

The pill left behind by Master Ming Ren came with an instruction manual. The manual detailed some matters related to the Natural Endowments Reversing Pill. Master Ming Ren had paid a huge price to purchase this pill, and he left it behind in the hope that his descendants who needed it would use it. However, Master Ming Ren also stated that this Natural Endowments Reversing Pill was a failed product. The chances of reversing one’s aptitude were only about seventy percent, with a twenty-percent chance of failure, and a ten-percent chance that the user’s aptitude would deteriorate, even to the point of becoming a fool. Moreover, it was best to take the pill as early as possible; the older the age and the higher the cultivation realm when it is taken, the lower the success rate would be. Therefore, Master Ming Ren stressed in the manual that if there were no other ways, if one were not driven to desperation, one must not take this Natural Endowments Reversing Pill.

Qi Tian was well aware of the value of this pill, and just as clear about the significant risks it entailed. With a success probability of only seventy percent, and a high failure probability of thirty percent, including a ten percent chance of becoming a fool, he would never take such a pill himself, nor would he allow his descendants to consume it.

Qi Tian decided that today he would produce this Natural Endowments Reversing Pill for Xiang Bo to consume, thus repaying the favor owed. Of course, as for the risks, they would have to be borne by Xiang Bo himself. This was the additional price he had to pay for consuming such a precious pill.

After sharing his thoughts with Gao Jinmei, she widened her eyes in shock. She quickly sent a telepathic message to Qi Tian, “Master, while we indeed need to repay our debts, surely we do not need to pay such a high price? Natural Endowments Reversing Pills are legendary pills that only exist in rumor. If you were to sell it in Wanjie City, no matter the price, people would fight over it. If you want to help Xiang Bo, it doesn’t have to be with the Natural Endowments Reversing Pill.”

Qi Tian replied telepathically, “Unless I’ve lost my mind, I would never try to sell the Natural Endowments Reversing Pill. With so many Nascent Soul Masters in Wanjie City, if they were to investigate the pill’s origin, could you withstand it, or could I?”

Gao Jinmei chuckled awkwardly. She transmitted another message, “Even if we don’t sell it, we can help Xiang Bo in other ways. For example, if there is a small performance later, we could figure out the answers and telepathically inform Xiang Bo. You and I could ensure that Xiang Bo gets the first place, thereby catching the Princess’s attention.”

Qi Tian said, “Your method seems time-saving and effortless, but it creates a fake. Later, when Xiang Bo and He Yingying get together, and they start to interact, if Xiang Bo shows his true skills, he’ll fully expose himself as a good-for-nothing. What do you think He Yingying would do to him? Getting kicked to the curb would be the least of his worries, and it could even implicate Xiang Bo and his family. Would we then have really repaid our debt?”

Gao Jinmei fell silent. She couldn’t in good conscience tell a lie. Since they needed to repay a favor, they had to do it thoroughly and cleanly, without leaving any problems for the future. Otherwise, the favor would be repaid, but they would still feel guilt, which would be worse than not repaying at all.

Seeing that Gao Jinmei had stopped talking, Qi Tian sent another telepathic message, “The matter with the pill has to be handled by you. Anyway, in Xiang Bo’s eyes, you seem more like an expert than I do. A pill from you would be more persuasive and more likely to make him believe.”

Gao Jinmei did not refuse. Whether it came from her or Qi Tian, there really was no difference, as Qi Tian was her Master after all.

Qi Tian reached out and silently handed the Natural Endowments Reversing Pill to Gao Jinmei. At that moment, Xiang Bo was looking at Qi Tian with expectation, waiting for him to come up with a solution. Now, performing well in the various small programs at the banquet had become the only way for Xiang Bo to win back He Yingying’s heart.

Qi Tian coughed and said, “Young master, I once had a private conversation with Gao Jinmei and heard that she has quite some insights into these matters. Perhaps you could let her share some advice with you.”
