52. Gifting Pills to the Four Girls
Just like yesterday, Yan Zhen enthusiastically saw them off to school and even said things like “study well and make progress every day,” which made the three girls so angry that their teeth itched. They immediately suggested to Instructor Yu Xuan to cancel this person’s leave.
Instructor Yu Xuan helplessly gave Yan Zhen a blank stare and comforted the girls before going to school.
After seeing them off into the distance, Yan Zhen closed the main gate and returned to his room, activating the Star Shifting Fire Seal.
Another day of practice, starting with full enthusiasm and ending in exhaustion.
Because the beautiful sect master occasionally gave verbal guidance and even hands-on teaching, he couldn’t trigger the skip function and felt quite fulfilled.
In the following days, Yan Zhen spent his time according to this routine. In the morning, he would accept Instructor Yu Xuan’s inspection during breakfast, and then go to the crystal space to practice alchemy until he couldn’t hold on anymore and fell asleep in the beautiful sect master’s arms.
The low-grade medicinal ingredients visibly decreased, and Yan Zhen’s alchemy skills became more and more proficient. His storage ring was filled with small bottles containing Wound-Healing Pills.
From the initial low-grade quality to medium-grade, he could now occasionally produce high-grade pills.
In addition to Wound-Healing Pills, he also attempted to refine other pills such as Pain-Relieving Pills, Blood-Replenishing Pills, and Detoxification Pills. They were all common first-grade pills, and the Detoxification Pill was relatively complex, requiring a lot of effort to successfully refine.
Seven days later.
According to the development of the script, today Yan Zhen was supposed to go out and sell these pills to recoup some of the cost.
Although his pill furnace, pill formulas, and medicinal ingredients were actually all obtained for free and didn’t cost him much, this recouping was very subtle, but he still had to go.
This was a key plot point.
Because recently, several small towns near Silver Moon City had gang conflicts, causing the Gold Jade Chamber of Commerce to have a shortage of Wound-Healing Pills. Yan Zhen selling them a large number of Wound-Healing Pills at this time happened to alleviate their urgent need.
In the script, it was precisely because of this matter that he got on the good side of fatty Nian Lun. Nian Lun decided to befriend a promising young alchemist, and their cooperative relationship gradually deepened.
It was through Nian Lun’s introduction that Yan Zhen would meet that rich and beautiful good sister later on.
Considering that he had freeloaded too many things from the Gold Jade Chamber of Commerce, Yan Zhen planned to exchange all the Wound-Healing Pills for first and second-grade medicinal ingredients. He didn’t want to take advantage of them anymore.
Nian Lun was so scared that he almost threw the Wound-Healing Pills away. He hurriedly said, “One thing at a time. Young Master Yan Zhen, you are a supreme-level VIP of the Gold Jade Chamber of Commerce. Feel free to take whatever medicinal ingredients you want. I will buy these Wound-Healing Pills at the market price. Recently, Wound-Healing Pills have been in short supply. You bringing these Wound-Healing Pills over is a great help.”
Seeing Nian Lun being so humble, Yan Zhen really couldn’t bear to make things difficult for him, so he could only do as he said.
However, Nian Lun didn’t feel that he was being humble, because the order he received was to treat the young man in front of him as the male owner of the Gold Jade Chamber of Commerce.
No matter what he wanted, give it to him, including the treasures of each branch store, and for free. Not a single cent could be taken.
This was a direct order from the head shopkeeper!
Thinking of that charming but ruthless beauty head shopkeeper, Nian Lun shuddered. How dare he show the slightest negligence? He quickly finished the matter and even personally saw Yan Zhen out.
Completing this key plot point, he obtained the “Special Trump Card: Money Ability” – sacrificing the money on his body to temporarily increase strength. The more money sacrificed, the greater the increase. The minimum was 10,000, and the maximum was 100 million.
“I can’t afford to use it!”
Yan Zhen took a glance and put it away.
After returning to the mansion, he immediately entered the crystal space because the beautiful sect master said she was going to teach him how to refine a cultivation-specific pill.
Small Primordial Pill.
This kind of pill was only effective for Mystic Masters and below. It was popular in the Sacred Land Academy and was specifically used to cultivate young experts.
Refining a Small Primordial Pill only took half an hour, but for a Mystic Disciple, it was equivalent to about ten days of bitter cultivation, easily leading others by a big step.
Obviously, the beautiful sect master’s intention was to let him take both cultivation and alchemy into account, using pill refinement to nourish cultivation.
Simply put, it was leveling up by taking pills.
Although pills couldn’t be taken too much in a short period of time, the spare time could be used to study other things, such as mystic techniques and alchemy.
The refining principle of the Small Primordial Pill was to lock the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with medicinal power and purify the mixed spiritual energy during the pill fusion process, making it easier for people to refine and absorb.
After a few failures, Yan Zhen quickly grasped the refining trick and refined five Small Primordial Pills.
For the first successful refinement, the quality was originally only low-grade, but because the spiritual energy in the Fire Refining Star Realm was very pure, the quality was upgraded to medium-grade.
He put the five Small Primordial Pills into five small bottles respectively, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.
Chen Xi narrowed her beautiful eyes, vaguely guessing something, but didn’t ask.
The next day, Yan Zhen crawled out of bed yawning, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and went to the dining room.
All four girls were there. Yan Zhen sat in his seat, his gaze sweeping over them one by one, and then he grinned.
Such a strange gaze made the four girls shrink their shoulders, cover their ample bosoms, and glare at him with some shyness.
“Cousin, what are you looking at? It’s creepy.”
“Pervert…”
“Little brother Yan Zhen, no lewdness allowed!”
Instructor Yu Xuan was thinking: Could it be that this child had held back for too long and couldn’t help it? Last time, they agreed to reward him again after he got first place in the monthly test, but the time span was too long. It was understandable if he couldn’t hold back. It was her lack of consideration.
Yan Zhen was speechless by their words. “Am I that kind of person?”
“Of course Cousin is not, but Cousin is also a vigorous young man. Meng’er can understand.”
“I don’t need your kind of understanding!”
“Letting the beast out.”
“I didn’t. If I really did, the first thing I would do is deal with your big butt!”
“Little brother Yan Zhen, don’t be angry. Did you want to say something?”
“Ahem, I see that your auras are all very abundant, but you’re still one step away from advancing.”
Yan Zhen said leisurely, then took out four small bottles from his storage ring and placed them on the table.
“I’ll give these to you. The instructor also has a share.”
“What is this?”
Yan Meng’er, who was sitting next to him, casually picked up a small bottle, opened the stopper to take a look, smelled the familiar medicinal fragrance, and blurted out, “Small Primordial Pill?”
Hearing this, Mi Xue’er hurriedly took another small bottle, opened it, and poured the contents into her palm. She was also quite surprised. “It really is a Small Primordial Pill. Little brother Yan Zhen, how did you get such a good thing?”
Only Yan Ruyu was confused. “What is a Small Primordial Pill?”
As soon as she said this, Yan Meng’er and Mi Xue’er both stiffened their expressions, thinking it was bad.
Small Primordial Pills were something only available in the Sacred Land Academy. Normally, they shouldn’t know about them. Among those present, only Instructor Yu Xuan, who came from the Sacred Land Academy, should know.
The two girls glanced at Instructor Yu Xuan. Sure enough, the latter was looking at them in confusion, her eyes seeming to say, “How do these two girls know?”
“Small Primordial Pills are pills used to improve cultivation. One pill is equivalent to ten days of bitter cultivation for a Mystic Disciple. It is a treasure used by the Sacred Land Academy and other major forces to cultivate young experts. The refining process is very particular, and few alchemists can refine it… Yan Zhen, where did you get these Primordial Pills? They seem to have medium-grade quality, not much inferior to the ones distributed by the Sacred Land Academy.”
The four girls’ beautiful eyes all stared straight at Yan Zhen, full of curiosity.
