Chapter 530: Grand Tutor’s Mansion Got Robbed
“The sixty-four stone pillars there aren’t part of an altar, they are pill wells meant for refinement. Each had its own uses and specialized in crafting medicines of different affinities. For example, creating a power-boost pill would require the use of a spirit-consolidation well, reinforced by a spirit-consolidation formation to make sure that the pill wouldn’t lose any energy.”
“Or, creating an essence-cleansing pill would necessitate the yin-yang well. Healing pills? Five-colored well. Anecdote pill? Water well...”
The Grand Tutor was one of the only two Grand Pill Master in the entire dynasty. He was at the third level so his alchemy skill was naturally exceptional with virtually no peers in this region.
Among the forty-eight wells were the scents of different pills. Clearly, some pills were about to come out. Ten more had feeble energy auras, meaning that they have only started recently, still needing another three months or so to take form. As for the remaining six - they were empty, not being used right now.
“These wells can only refine third-ranked pills and below. Anything above would require even more attention and ingredients. Too complicated and need perfect timing and mastery.”
The method of cultivating lower-ranked pills was no secret but no one would tell the secrets of the better ones.
This mansion looked like a daoist shrine but it wasn’t actually that small. There were many pavilions prepared for pill refinement and platforms meant for star-watching in the clouds. Some forbidden grounds were shrouded behind mists.
Ling Yun took a full day taking Feiyun around but they still didn’t finish seeing the whole thing.
“The truth is that my visit this time is meant to find a few rare ingredients. I’m willing to pay a high price.” Feiyun didn’t want to delay this any longer.
Ling Yun smiled and said: “Your Excellency, no need to be reserved. We have a lot of materials and I can be in charge of selling them for a fair price, outside of some really precious ones.”
Feiyun took out a list and wrote down ten medicinal ingredients.
The Heavenly Core Pill required eighteen leading ingredients. He found eight at the Yin Gou Ward but the remaining ten were too rare. Some weren’t recorded in the ancient scrolls at all.
