The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1073: Solving Dilemmas

The first highlighted problem involved an Outer Palace Junior Disciple who was stuck at the first stage of the Divine Sea Realm, a 1-star Divine Warrior, the very beginning of the divine path.

In other words, the Outer Palace Junior Disciple had not made a single advancement in cultivation ever since they joined the Myriad Sea God Palace, which in and of itself was strange.

After all, they wouldn’t have been admitted into the Myriad Sea God Palace if their potential and talent were that terrible.

As such, their bottleneck problem lies elsewhere.

While reading through the description of the problem, Vaan discovered it was a medical issue. The person had been poisoned by an uncommon neurotoxin that caused paralysis in the left limbs and obstructed the circulation of energy.

According to the person’s description, they knew what neurotoxin it was and even found out the required elixir to cure it. Moreover, the elixir was even available at the Grand Exchange Hall.

Unfortunately, the elixir was too expensive, and the person’s ailing condition didn’t allow them to take on dangerous tasks to earn the required amount of contribution points.

Naturally, the Healing Hall was even further out of the question. Not only would the healers charge the cost of treatment, but there was also the consultation fee. More often than not, it was more costly than buying medicine directly from the Grand Exchange Hall.

As such, the troubled Junior Disciple sought cheaper and more affordable alternatives to substitute for the Divine Calendula Elixir, which was priced at 3,000 contribution points.

The Junior Disciple’s listed budget was only 1400 contribution points.

However, the post was more than 30,000 Gaian Years old. It was hard to say if the Junior Disciple still has the same budget.

Vaan couldn’t help but sigh, feeling pity for the Junior Disciples.

Contribution points were essential for promoting one’s cultivation. However, if disciples spent them recklessly and then suffered crippling injuries or illnesses, they would share the same miserable fates as the Junior Disciples camped outside the Grand Chamber of Dilemma.

With no one willing to loan, invest, or offer free help, it would be difficult for these Junior Disciples to free themselves from their pitfall situation.

’The standard conversion rate of credits to contribution points is 1:100, but depending on urgency and demand, it could be greater through private exchange...’ Vaan mused.

Newly enrolled Junior Disciples were all granted 100 credits.

If the Junior Disciple really wanted to escape the pitfall, they could have already done so. However, the fact that many have not done so indicates that they were uncertain about their ability to recover the credits needed to maintain their discipleship within the stipulated period.

As a result, many higher-ranking disciples looked down on these Junior Disciples, viewing them as pathetic vermin who stubbornly cling to the Myriad Sea God Palace.

They were indeed pathetic – Vaan agreed about this.

However, he didn’t think these Junior Disciples pathetic beyond help. After all, the tenacity and stubborn determination born from their desperation were also noteworthy and admirable, if nothing else.

How many beings in the vast Chaos would actually choose to endure suffering for so many years when the path to salvation had always been within their grasp?

Although this proved the greatness of the Myriad Sea God Palace, it didn’t undermine the determined spirit these Junior Disciples had shown.

They had been at the lowest points of their lives for so many years. Perhaps, if they were given a chance to pick themselves back up on their feet, they would walk very far on the long road of cultivation. ℞âＮо𝖇Εṡ

Vaan was willing to give them this chance.

With that in mind, Vaan began listing several cheaper solutions to substitute the Divine Calendula Elixir.

The first option involved several dozen inexpensive and low-ranking magical plants, which, when combined through alchemy, could produce potency similar to that of the Divine Calendula Elixir.

Vaan didn’t know the exact effects of the Divine Calendula Elixir, but it wasn’t important.

The goal was to treat the neurotoxin of a Rank 6 Human-faced Stone Spider. As long as one was knowledgeable in medicine, anyone could think of several dozen or even hundreds of cures.

Vaan provided ten such alternative recipes.

He wasn’t sure if the Grand Exchange Hall possessed all of the magical plants he had listed due to their low ranks.

However, the Myriad Sea God Palace’s territory was extremely vast and covered many realms. Even if there was no inventory, the magical plants should be obtainable through various channels.

Besides medicinal solutions, Vaan also provided a body-forging cultivation method that could be used to build resistance to poisons. Although it would take much longer, it was also cheaper.

Still, as Vaan recorded his solutions on the wall, he also discovered his own inadequacies.

Even if he had access to the vast amount of information from his fragment past life memories, only a tiny fraction could be used for fish-men races. He still needed to visit the Wisdom Hall and improve his knowledge further in areas he found lacking.

After resolving the first issue, Vaan moved on to the next problem on the wall. He continued to solve the dilemmas he could solve, and skipped the ones he couldn’t.

Not all dilemmas were as detailed as the first dilemma.

’Most of these dilemmas could be resolved through medical solutions... If I start charging contribution points to treat these troubled disciples directly, I can easily make a fortune in no time...’ Vaan thought.

However, he didn’t go through with it for three reasons.

These Junior Disciples had suffered enough. It wasn’t right to take advantage of their misfortune. Secondly, it would also affect their gratitude and loyalty. There was a difference between a beneficial transaction and a favor.

Of course, the third reason was the most important.

Without any backing of his own, providing cheap alternative treatments to the Healing Hall’s methods would naturally garner enormous popularity among disciples. However, it would also offend all of the healers at Healing Hall.

Seeking more trouble wasn’t wise in his present situation.

As such, Vaan could only give up this fat sheep for the time being. The medicine business might be lucrative, but it wasn’t the only option.

For a multi-talented person like Vaan, many doors were open to him.
