Chapter 10: The Art of Refining Pills (1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A light breeze blew and maple leaves fell slowly from the tips of the trees.

Gu Ruoyun had just descended the mountain when a reckless figure barged into her line of sight.

It was a young lady, about sixteen years of age. Her luxurious clothes nicely showcased her perfect body. However, when her gaze made its way to her face, she had no choice but to be disappointed.

The lady’s fair skin was full of freckles, like spot stains on a clean white veil, greatly disrupting the original beauty.

Gu Ruoyun knitted her brows. She searched in her brain and recognized the lady in front of her.

However, before she could even open her mouth, Luo Yin walked hastily in front of her and scanned her from head to toe as if she did not know her.

"Gu Ruoyun, I heard that you will be dueling that rabbit bastard of the Ling family?"

Gu Ruoyun stroked her own wrists and smiled noncommittally.

"News sure travels fast. What? You think I would lose too?"

"Haha!"

Luo Yin laughed loudly while tapping on Gu Ruoyun’s shoulders. "What kind of person are you, Gu Ruoyun? I have said before that your father was the first genius of Azure Dragon Country. Alas, those whom the gods love die young and he passed away at such a young age! But your brother, he’s the current first genius! As the daughter of Gu Tian, the younger sister of Gu Shengxiao, how can you be a good-for-nothing? But, Gu Ruoyun, after being friends for so many years, you kept this secret even from me?"

Right then, word had been spreading like wildfire that Gu Ruoyun had faked her timidity all along to make everybody forget about her. But being Gu Ruoyun’s best and only friend, even she had been kept in the dark for so many years.

When she thought of this, Luo Yin was all sorts of upset.

"Luo Yin." Gu Ruoyun looked at her old friend and hesitated for a while. "I have a favor to ask."

"What?"

"Can you…lend me some gold coins?" Gu Ruoyun was a bit embarrassed to say that out loud.

In her previous life, she was the direct Young Mistress of the Xia family, so she had never fretted over these worldly objects. But because Gu Ruoyun was a good-for-nothing, her monthly allowance was a mere three copper coins. She could not afford to buy herbs.

"Alright, how much do you want?" Luo Yin agreed without even thinking.

Gu Ruoyun thought deeply for a moment, then lifted her head and looked at the freckle-faced Luo Yin steadily. "I need a hundred gold coins! In return, I will give you a reward richer than a hundred gold coins!"

She, Gu Ruoyun, had never liked to be indebted to anyone.

That’s why before she even borrowed money, she had decided to use the Qi Gathering Pills as repayment! The price of these Qi Gathering Pills was much higher than a hundred gold coins!

"A hundred gold coins?"

Luo Yin had initially thought that even if Gu Ruoyun wanted to borrow money, she would only borrow a few gold coins. She didn’t expect her to ask so much. To her, a hundred gold coins were her year’s savings.

But Luo Yin understood. If she could help it, she absolutely wouldn’t open her mouth to borrow money, knowing Gu Ruoyun’s self-esteem.

"Alright, I’ll lend you the money. Wait for me here, I’ll go fetch it! About the reward, you don’t have that many gold coins to repay me, so there’s no need to repay me."

Little did she know what the reward that Gu Ruoyun mentioned was. The moment she saw it, she would know that her friend wasn’t bragging…

The value of one Qi Gathering Pill was much higher than a hundred gold coins!


Chapter 11: Pill Refinement (2)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Hundred Herb Hall was the biggest medicinal hall in the Azure Dragon Country. Here, there were only unwanted herbs; however, there would not be any herb that you cannot purchase.

Currently, a grey-haired old man sat inside the Hundred Herb Hall with his eyes closed, silently resting. Suddenly, light footsteps echoed from outside the door. The old man opened his eyes and his gaze fell upon the young maiden stepping into the medicinal hall.

This young maiden was very slim, and she adorned an oversized grey-colored cloth gown which hung unflatteringly over her skinny and weak frame. Her skin was fair, a beautiful and pleasant shade of ivory white, which was easy to remember over a single glance.

However, the old man took a brief glance at her and continued to close his eyes.

"Young lady, may I know what might you be looking for?"

The shopkeeper, upon seeing a customer, quickly went forward and asked with a smile.

"I can guarantee that the Hundred Herb Hall is the biggest medicinal hall in the country. No matter what kind of herb it is that you are looking for, we are able to provide it to you. Even if it is a thousand-year-old ginseng, our men can find it for you."

"I do not need a thousand-year-old ginseng. However, I would like to have all the herbs listed on this prescription."

Gu Ruoyun then handed over the prescription to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper took at the list of herbs on the prescription and smiled, "Young lady, these are very commonly found herbs. Kindly wait for a moment, I will go fetch them now."

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun nodded and took a look around the medicinal hall. Her gaze fell upon the old man who was resting with his eyes closed. An obscure glint flashed across her clear eyes.

This old man's power was not ordinary. He is in the very least at the level of the Martial King. Cultivators such as this was one of the best in Azure Dragon Country. How did he end up being a resident physician in the Hundred Herb Hall?

It seems like the Hundred Herb Hall came from a mighty background, much mightier than she had imagined...

"Hey! What kind of herb is the Hundred Herb Hall selling? You clearly said that this herb could heal the scar on my neck, why did it not have any effect on me after applying it?"

A luxuriously dressed lady stood in front of the counter and slammed the table aggressively. She was indeed very beautiful, with creamy skin and crescent moon eyebrows. Her bright eyes shone like the moonlight in a pitch black night. However, at this very moment, she was spurting flames of fury.

On the lady's snow-white neck, an obvious scratch had marred its original beauty, a blemish in her otherwise perfect appearance.

"Young lady, you have only been using this medicine for a single day, how could it have any effect?"

 

The shopkeeper let slip a look helplessness, but showed no fear. He then patiently explained, "You have to go back and apply it continuously for half a month, then only will it heal and recover to your original skin tone."

"I do not care!" The luxuriously-dressed lady held up her head and puffed her chest. She grunted without sparing a glance, "Do you have any idea who I am? The Imperial Concubine is my aunt! If you make me angry, I will ask my aunt to issue an order to drive your Hundred Herb Hall out of the Azure Dragon Country!"

The Imperial Concubine?

Gu Ruoyun was slightly startled. This lady was a member of the Ling family. No wonder she was acting in such an overbearing arrogant manner.

One must know, that the Hundred Herb Hall was powerful held in high regard not only in the Azure Dragon Country, but also in other countries. This lady had dared to threaten to drive the Hundred Herb Hall out of the Azure Dragon Country; even the Imperial Concubine herself might not have the courage to do that.

However, Ling Yu had not given it much thought. In her eyes, the Hundred Herb Hall was just another regular merchant enterprise. They would not dare to oppose royalty no matter how powerful they were.

"You speak foolishly and much too boldly, young lady."

The old man who was silently resting slowly opened his eyes. Upon hearing his voice, the shopkeeper could not help but let out a relieved sigh. He said respectfully, "Elder Yu, this issue…"
