Chapter 52: 052 Wind Elephant Pill_1
Federation Calendar, year 97, July 2.
As Casio was honing his boxing method in the training room, three people in blue combat suits, Teacher Lixia, and Lixia’s teacher, his elder, Oumai, all entered.
Everyone’s faces were serious, giving a strong sense of “Casio, something’s happened.” Fortunately, the lanky old man with the snowy white beard leading the group managed a smile and said.
“Li Wei, you are the lucky star of our Wind Elephant Gate!”
The man in front of Casio was familiar to him, it was the deputy Gate Master Samer, who appeared in one of the actual combat rankings during the first Era of Retrospection. He is in charge of overseeing the medicinal materials and logistics of Wind Elephant Gate.
Afterward, several people engaged in a friendly conversation with Casio. In essence, they were inquiring about what had happened — some details still needed Casio, who was involved, to recall and recount. The whole process went very smoothly, especially after Casio mentioned that the area was uninhabited, the atmosphere became even more cordial.
The seniors in the blue combat suits all wore smiles on their faces. Casio’s description of the Orchid Heart Grass’s origin was perfect.
It was ready for the Wind Elephant Gate to exploit virgin rich territory. From today onwards, the influence of Wind Elephant Gate was likely to gradually penetrate into Black Sand City. Currently, in the Black Sand City, there were only one or two Wind Elephant branch martial arts halls, but due to the importance of Orchid Heart Grass, the Black Sand City would definitely establish its own branch within a short time.
As time passed, the Black Sand City branch would grow more robust, its importance likely to be second only to the headquarters at Oak City.
All these were either speculation or already in the planning stages.
On the same day in the afternoon, Samer, the other two seniors, elder Oumai, and Casio rushed down the mountain together and hurried to the urban area of Oak City and boarded one of the freight trains using their connections.
Three days later, on the train platform of Oak City.
“Oh, my old bones can’t take the toll …”
On the rectangular platform, Samer was complaining as he rubbed his back. However, there was not the slightest fatigue on his face, instead, he was glowing with delight.
Because everything that Casio had told them was confirmed.
In Black Sand City, at Firmwood Town, within the Berna Mountain. There was indeed a large swath of wild Orchid Heart Grass that no one had ever discovered before!
According to simple calculations, this large patch of wild-collected Orchid Heart Grass would provide enough potion supplies for everyone in the Wind Elephant Gate for two years! Of course, this is just a small part. The truly valuable part is the environment suitable for nurturing Orchid Heart Grass. As long as it was reserved and protected, and cultivated sustainably by human hands, they could have as much Orchid Heart Grass as they wanted!
Once you’ve mastered the skill of catching fish, would you still fear not having fish?
Upon arriving in Oak City, the group of five, battered from the journey, were treated to a generous meal. The delicious dishes soothed their weary hearts.
It wasn’t until the afternoon of July 5th that everyone returned to the Wind Elephant Gate.
On July 6th, Casio received the reward he had been wanting. When Lixia placed four boxes in front of him, an excited twitch crept into Casio’s usually calm heart.
He knew that his teacher Lixia and his elder Oumai had done their best to secure the best possible reward for him.
“See what’s inside. You’ve earned it.” Lixia pushed the differently-sized red boxes across the table.
On the other side of the table, Casio solemnly received the boxes.
Under the sunlight streaming in from the side window, he opened the first box. Inside was a pale yellow sponge cushion, with a dent in the middle, holding a pale blue pill that shone under the bright light.
The air was filled with a thick scent of medicinal herbs.
Upon opening the second box, he found something familiar – a perfectly square, crystal clear chunk of Body Refining Paste.
In the third box, there was a small bottle. When shaken, the sound of the liquid inside made a gulu gulu sound.
In the fourth box, shaped like a long strip, there were five purple long incense sticks, roughly as long as a chopstick.
Out of the four items in total, Casio only recognized one. But he assumed the other three wouldn’t be much worse than the Body Refining Paste.
Casio lifted his head and looked across, where Lixia was watching him with a slight smile: “Let me tell you what these things do…”
“First, this pill.” She pointed to Casio’s left hand: ” This pill is called the Wind Elephant Pill, and it’s the most precious of these four items. Every five years, the Wind Elephant Gate invests a large number of resources to create the Wind Elephant Pill. If it fails, there is nothing to gain, but if successful, we create three pills. The difficulty of pill creation is very high…”
“Its function is simple, it can enhance the root bone of those beneath a martial artist’s realm. It’s especially effective for teenagers under 20, like you, Li Wei. Your root bone is ranked as above average, perhaps after taking Wnd Elephant Pill, it could become superior. Of course, the effects of the pill vary from person to person.”
Lixia paused for a moment and continued, “Diligence determines the lower limit of a martial artist’s martial arts, and the quality of the root bone determines an artist’s upper limit. If you have large ambitions for martial arts, then the above-average root bone is not enough to support you.”
“So, I asked our master to get a Wind Elephant Pill for you…”
“Thank you, teacher. Thank you, master.”
Casio was grateful–he knew without his teacher Lixia and his master Oumai’s intervention, he probably wouldn’t have been able to obtain the Wind Elephant Pill. After all, after completing his Obsession, Casio could bring back everything he had gained during the Era of Retrospection.
Lixia nodded and continued.
“I won’t go into detail about this Hundred Medicine Body Refining Ointment that you’ve already consumed. But I remind you to be prepared since the effects can greatly diminish after the first use. Besides, it’s best to take the Body Refining Paste after consuming Wnd Elephant Pill for the best results.”
Casio nodded in agreement as Lixia pointed to the third item.
“The Fire Oil is a specially formulated potion used for breaking through limits. Once you have mastered the first level of the Elephant Soul Secret Art, you’ll reach a bottleneck. This bottleneck varies from person to person- some may break through the next day, while others might never manage.”
“Fire Oil is made precisely for this situation. If you drink it, you’ll reach a state of vibrant and boiling blood for the next seven days, greatly increasing the probability of breaking through. The only downside is that an excessively abundant amount of blood might cause insomnia at night.”

Lixia then pointed to the last item.
“Calming Incense, a good auxiliary tool for cultivation. It’s not for physical training but specifically for cultivating Wind Elephant Fist skills. Burn a small piece before each training session, inhale it for a bit, then extinguish it. Afterwards, your mental clarity, memory, and learning abilities will all improve. I brought you five sticks of Calming Incense. Use them sparingly and they should last half a year to a year.”
After finishing, Lixia couldn’t help but remind him again.
“Be sure to use it sparingly and not waste it. Calming Incense isn’t produced in the Hong Li Federation, it’s imported. The Wind Elephant Gate only gets about ten sticks a year, and now half of them have been given to you…”
Her tone was somewhat sour, probably because she remembers being given only a tiny bit each year by the sect. Casio, on the other hand, got five all at once, highlighting the contrast.
Perhaps picking up Lixia’s discontent or simply being polite, Casio said, “Why don’t you take a couple of sticks, teacher? I have five and I’m afraid I won’t be able to use them all.”
Unexpectedly, Lixia appeared unhappy upon hearing this. She said coldly, “Use what you’ve earned yourself and keep the good stuff! I warn you, don’t let these things be used by others. You have to consume them in front of me, or I’ll beat your little ass!”
“Yes!”
Casio immediately stood upright with chest out. Even though teacher Lixia’s tone was somewhat harsh, he could hear the affection within it, right?
Yes, that’s right. Casio felt that ever since their full-fledged sparring match, Lixia’s attention to him had grown increasingly more intense, as if all her focus was on him.
The Era of Retrospection is not a game. Even though Casio has his motivations, the people in his surroundings are all living individuals with emotions. Lixia’s contributions to Casio were visible to all, and Casio fully respected Lixia as his teacher.
“As long as you understand.” Lixia nodded, then asked Casio to wait in the Quiet Room. Five minutes later, Lixia came in, carrying a barrel full of hot water.
She left the barrel in the corner with a bang, and water splashed out lightly.
She then turned to Casio, “Eat the Wind Elephant Pill…”
“Okay.” Casio immediately did as he was told, gulping it down.
“Then strip off your clothes, all of them.”
“What?!” Casio blinked.
“What? Hurry up and strip, or do you want me to do it?”
