Chapter 383: Secret Realm (I)
Refining pills was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Especially when refining complex medicinal pills like the Primordial Pill. From preprocessing the herbs to drawing the earth fire and refining them into pills, the entire process took a whole afternoon.
"These are thirty-three Primordial Pills. It has been too long since I last refined them, so the quality is somewhat inferior, but it will not affect their use. Take one before cultivation each day, and it will last you for a month."
The third elder handed over the medicinal pills.
"Many thanks, Third Elder," Lin Zheyu said respectfully.
The medicinal pills were round and yellow-brown, only half the size of a glass bead. A single tiny pill placed in the palm emitted an extremely rich herbal fragrance. Lin Zheyu gently squeezed it. It was very hard, almost like stone, with the energies of various herbs fused under the refinement of earth fire.
"The Primordial Pill is unlike other medicinal pills. It is as hard as crystal and needs to be soaked with blood qi to assist absorption," the third elder explained with a smile when he saw Lin Zheyu curiously examining it.
Other medicinal pills, once refined, were easily absorbed by martial artists. This was the advantage of medicinal pills over medicinal decoctions. But the Primordial Pill was different. It was not prepared for ordinary martial artists, but for those with a solid foundation, at least in the Marrow Refining realm.
"You have nothing urgent to return to, so stay in the main sect for a while. Old Fifth and I will work overtime to refine a year's supply of Primordial Pills for you, in case we are tied up in the future and it affects your cultivation. Otherwise, I would become a sinner," the third elder said with a smile.
Having witnessed Lin Zheyu's extraordinary talent in the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art, he regarded him as the next Dao Child. Such monstrous talent even astonished the third elder. In over two hundred years of life, he had only seen a few geniuses of Lin Zheyu's caliber, not even enough to count on one hand.
No, those geniuses were not even comparable to Lin Zheyu. After all, Lin Zheyu had been exceptionally recruited into the Wuji Sect. Before this, the training, guidance, cultivation techniques, and resources he received were far inferior to those of top sect disciples. Even so, in less than two years after joining the Wuji Sect, he rose rapidly like a rocket, defeated Liang En, and ranked twenty-fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, becoming the number one among the younger generation of the Wuji Sect. Such talent was terrifying.
"Is the situation already this severe?" Lin Zheyu could not help but ask.
Back in Wuling City, he had already sensed the situation was tense. Almost all the experts at the Force Transformation realm and above in the sect were occupied with various missions. Even Guo Wenzi, whom he used to see often, had not appeared for months until she completed her mission recently.
