Chapter 313: Official Notice
"However, the Immortal Pill is an entity akin to an immortal herb. Even if it has been exposed to sunlight, its effects are still incredibly potent,"
"When you use it, double the amount."
The Empress Dowager experienced mixed emotions—she was thrilled to have finally located the Immortal Pill, yet devastated by the thought that improper handling had diminished its medicinal properties.
Likewise, the imperial physicians at the Imperial Hospital were overjoyed. They had finally discovered the Immortal Pill, avoiding the perilous journey into the depths of Mt. Daling. Now, they could promptly ascertain the true efficacy of the Immortal Pill.

The Imperial Physician Hospital had issued a notice. It was written clearly in black and white, asking for "Immortal Pill" with a thousand gold and a hundred gold.
Imperial Physician Yang had publicly accepted the wooden box in front of the gathering witnesses, making it impossible for the palace to renege on their offer.
Before long, a chest filled with gold was transported from the palace to the Renhe Hall. In ancient times, one catty equated to 16 liang. A thousand taels, therefore, amounted to a thousand liang, which translated to roughly 60 catties. Adding another 100 catties of gold, the total was 160 catties of gold. It was a truly remarkable spectacle.
The crowd swelled around Renhe Hall, everyone eager to catch a glimpse of the fortunate individual behind this windfall. Some sought to gain knowledge about the appearance of the Immortal Pill and where it could be found. A few even brought their unmarried daughters, hoping for a prompt betrothal. Marrying into a wealthy family remained a cherished dream for many women.
