Chapter 15: Pill Refinement (6)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as she was deep in thought, Shopkeeper Zhao entered the room, holding a bowl of medicine in his hands. Elder Yu felt a twinge of hesitation as he stared at the dark black liquid. But in the end, he raised his head and poured it into his mouth.

A cooling sensation slowing flowed down his throat, giving him an indescribably comfortable feeling. As if his mouth was completely filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, gently lubricating his throat...

The minutes and seconds rolled on…

Elder Yu could feel his throat making a gradual yet obvious recovery. He could already feel the moisture in the walls of his throat — a sensation he never had since his injury…

"Little girl, this medicine is too miraculous. This old man admits his defeat!" Elder Yu smacked his lips and praised glowingly, "May I ask, who taught you such great medical skills?"

"My master prefers to live in anonymity, I cannot reveal his name so casually."

Because even if I told you his name, you would not have recognized it. She thought, "That old man is not even from the West Spirit Mainland. But I wonder what suffering my Master had to endure, upon receiving news of my death..."

"Oh," Elder Yu sighed, "Little girl, I concede my defeat in our wager. The Hundred Herb Hall now belongs to you. And I, am your humble slave!"

This time, he sincerely accepted his defeat without any complaints.

"Alright. However, I do not wish to enslave you. I only ask that you help take care of the Hundred Herb Hall in my stead, Elder Yu. For now, I will not reveal myself to the world. I'll leave it to you to manage the everyday matters. There is also no need for anyone to know of my status as the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall. A tall tree attracts the wind. I do not wish to attract attention so soon."

Gu Ruoyun nodded with satisfaction. She did not expect to collect such a huge windfall after stepping out of the house. With a large business like the Hundred Herb hall in the palms of her hands, she would never need to worry about medicinal herbs anymore. Her road to greatness will be a lot smoother from now on.

At the time, Gu Ruoyun did not know this but the Hundred Herb Hall would play a significant role in her path to greatness. It would also be with her every step of the way from her time as a weak little girl, to a strong and powerful woman as she slowly entered the pinnacle of greatness on the mainland…

In the great hall of the Ling Family residence, Ling Yi was in a dreadful rage. He glared resentfully at the luxuriously-dressed woman before him.

"Ling Yu, you've really done it this time! Sigh!"

Ling Yu's mouth twitched, and replied nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a small medicinal store? What's the big deal? My aunt is the imperial concubine. Grandfather, you must dispatch your men and have them trample over that Hundred Herb Hall at once. Honestly, the Crown Prince's birthday celebration is only a few days away. I need to meet the Crown Prince, and I still have this ugly scar!"

"Just a small medicinal store?"

Peng!

Ling Yi crumpled onto his chair, with a bitter and impatient smile on his face, "The Hundred Herb Hall may be a medicinal store, but even the Emperor Himself wouldn't dare lay a hand on it. Yet you dare spout such words? Tomorrow, you shall come with me to the Hundred Herb Hall and apologize. Otherwise, not even your imperial concubine aunt can save you!"

Ling Yu was speechless, It's only an ordinary merchant's store. Why should grandfather feel so afraid? Even my Imperial Uncle, the Emperor does not dare lay a hand on the Hundred Herb hall? How could this be?

But Ling Yu knew that her grandfather was still fuming with rage, so she did not dare say another word. After all, in the entire Ling household, the only person she feared most was the head of the family — her grandfather…


Chapter 16: Pill Refinement (7)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Zixie, I’ve collected the necessary herbs to refine Qi Gathering Pills. When are you going to start my pill refining lessons?"

In the Ancient Divine Pagoda, Gu Ruoyun stood over the medicine cauldron and placed the medicinal herbs from the Hundred Herb Hall before her. She then turned her head to face the man next to her.

Zixie gently stroked his chin with his slender fingers, and smiled demonically, "It begins now! Start the preparations, girl. I will teach you the art of refining pills after that."

"Alright."

Gu Ruoyun lightly nodded her head. At that moment, to say that she did not feel excited would be a lie. After all, this was the long lost art of refining pills…

"In the art of refining pills, girl, you must follow the exact steps of the pill formula accurately and place the herbs into the cauldron in the correct order. If the order is incorrect, the pill refining process will be a failure. Once your powers are stable, you may try creating new pills based on the properties of the herbs. Of course, this probably won’t happen until you’ve had a few years of experience," Zixie explained with a smile in his eyes, "Actually, pill refining isn’t very difficult. Unfortunately, I am no human. So I cannot refine pills. Now, you can try practicing for a bit. You must not make any mistakes, be it the task of watching the fire or the correct order of the herbs — it all must be done in total accuracy. One false move and the pill will be ruined! Never forget that."

Hearing this, Gu Ruoyuns expression grew serious.

She took a deep breath, her dark eyes sparkled with resolve…

"Pills, if I had such legendary items in my possession in my past life, perhaps then I could’ve changed my little brother’s inability to cultivate. And that man wouldn’t have cruelly abandoned the Xia Family’s only son! If… If my little brother was reborn into this world like I was, I will definitely change his life!"

Pills have always been considered all-powerful. If she were a pill master in her past life, her little brother would never have had such a tragic death.

Alas…

The image of the young boy, lying in a pool of blood appeared in her mind’s eye. Gu Ruoyun’s heart throbbed with anguish, but was soon replaced with a burst of sheer determination. 

"Yu’er, if you’re still alive, your elder sister will find you. If you are truly gone… Then, I will continue to live on for your sake. I’ll live on to avenge our mother! This was also your dying wish so don’t you worry. Wait for me to gain my powers, then we shall return to the East Peak Mainland, and make that man pay for the price of blood, with blood! I will not rest until he falls into the pit of eternal damnation!"

Zixie observed the hatred on the young girl’s pretty face. His lips gently curled into an angle.

Hatred, he mused, Can grant speed in a person’s growth. I am truly looking forward to the day when she’s fully grown in power…

Perhaps I would not have to wait for too long.

The blazing flames lit up the entire room. The young girl fixed her gaze upon the pill cauldron, and slowly placed the herbs inside. Then, just as she placed the herbs inside, a loud bang was heard and it was followed by a ringing noise resounded from within the cauldron. Suddenly, a cloud of grey smoke burst out from within, covering the girl’s face in a layer of ashes.

Zixie glanced at Gu Ruoyun and shook his head, "Pill refining is an extremely sacred profession, little girl. When refining pills, you must not have any distractions. A single thread of loose thought is enough to make you lose control."

"I understand. Let’s do it again!"

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and took out the herbs again…

Due to the fact that Gu Ruoyun’s presence was most easily overlooked in the entire Gu household, she saw no problem in casually disappearing for three days and three nights. After all, in the past, even if she disappeared for a month, no one would come looking for her.

However, this time, the entire Gu Family was in an uproar…
