2022-11-21 06:50:09Without a hint of delay, Chen Tu and Qin Lei hastened their footsteps to the Supply Office. Although there was still plenty of time before their closing, it was better to deliver the Spirit Desertification Pill earlier than later.
"What can I do for you two?" a worker in the office asked. The workers here are usually the senior disciples who lack talent in cultivation. Still, their contribution to the Blood Refining Grotto cannot be taken lightly, as they're considered the backbone of the faction's daily operation.
Without them, the Blood Refining Grotto would have faced difficulty in their operation in the long run. Furthermore, would the grotto let the workforce they nurtured work outside and enrichen others?
"We're the disciples of the fourth elder, Wei Xuan. On our teacher's instruction, we're here to deliver the Spirit Desertification Pills the teacher concocted." said Qin Lei. Being here for six years longer than Chen Tu, he had more experience handling such a matter.
After all, it was better to approach the worker with friendliness, which would help hasten the process.
"I see. I'll need to see something from the elder as his proof and the merchandise." the worker replied. This procedure was necessary to ensure no discrepancies were happening in between.
For something like medicinal pills, an alchemist usually delivers the medicine they concocted along with their identity token or something that could represent them. And, of course, this is a one-off process because it was Chen Tu and Qin Lei's first time.
Chen Tu took the box of Spirit Desertification Pills out. On top of the box was an engraving of the elder, along with a hint of his Spiritual Aura. As they weren't sure if that would pass their identity check, Chen Tu showed the elder's Alchemist Plaque too.
"That's enough! That's enough! Please give me a few minutes to inspect the pills and ensure nothing was wrong with them." the worker nodded and slightly adjusted the tone of his speech. It was unavoidable, looking at the proof in Chen Tu's hand.
(Are you intending to scare me to death? Who dares to question your background after showing us the Alchemist Plaque? Only an idiot would dare to ask or try to imitate that!)
The worker slightly cursed in his heart but maintained a serious expression while inspecting the pills.
After ten minutes or so, the result was ten regular Spirit Desertification Pills and one Two-Star Pill. Based on their market price, their total value was a hundred and twenty Spiritual Coins.
Of course, after deducting the material cost provided by the Supply Office, the worker handed out seventy Spiritual Coins to Qin Lei. This means each cauldron worth of ingredients costs ten Spiritual Coins.
"If there's nothing else, please leave a signature here." the worker said.
Having no comment on the request, Qin Lei left a signature on the account book before asking the worker to check the pills order for tomorrow.
"The Supply Office will try to prepare between ten to fifteen sets of ingredients for Spiritual Replenishing Pills tomorrow. Please return to the office tomorrow to collect them." the worker quickly answered the question.
As there was nothing else in their concern, Chen Tu and Qin Lei nodded before leaving.
(Are these two the latest disciple of Elder Wei? They don't seem to be as bratty as the rest...)
The worker guessed but didn't let this thought affect him. In less than a minute, he had returned to handling other matters.
Meanwhile, Chen Tu and Qin Lei went to the canteen and filled their stomachs. As there's still some time before nightfall, Qin Lei suggested they pay the Worldly Treasures Pavilion a visit.
"Do you have something to buy there?" Chen Tu asked. But Qin Lei quickly answered with a shake of his head.
"I don't. But it wasn't necessary to only visit the pavilion when you have something to buy. The place is called Worldly Treasures Pavilion because there's always an opportunity when visiting them." Qin Lei said.
"Without going there to have a look, how do you know what they had in store? Sometimes, an expense of one Contribution Token is necessary to discover something new." he added.
After all, the entrance fee would be refunded if they bought something there.
As they were about to leave, Chen Tu suddenly remembered that it had been a week since he had last seen Elder Mang Shu. Regardless of how the elder played with him, he was still Chen Tu's benefactor for lending him the Language Jade.
It would leave Chen Tu with a sour taste if he ignored the elder after getting what he wanted.
"Senior brother, please wait me for a while." Chen Tu said and quickly approached a random waiter in the canteen. After five minutes, he returned with a bottle of Meadow Spring Wine.
This bottle of wine would be the meeting gift he prepared for the elder.
The two made their way toward the Worldly Treasures Pavilion but took the path that would let them walk through the Book Pavilion. After arriving here, Chen Tu takes the lead and approaches the only tree near the building.
They were walking closely, but Qin Lei soon realized he couldn't come close. No matter how he tried, he couldn't approach the space ten meters from the tree.
Meanwhile, Chen Tu walks over without a problem.
"Hmm? The smell of wine?" Elder Mang Shu opened one of his eyes and glanced at the person walking towards the tree. And without asking, he snatched the bottle from Chen Tu and took a sip without unnecessary pleasantries.
"Ah... This wine really hit the right spot... And here I thought you'd forgotten about me already." Elder Mang Shu didn't forget to tease Chen Tu when he had the opportunity.
"Please accept this junior's apology. Chen Tu has been too busy with studying recently. Hence, I was late in coming to visit the elder." Chen Tu politely replied to the elder.
"Hmm... Nothing to worried about. It's not like I'll starve or can't sleep without wine..." said the elder and randomly waving his hand. It was unfortunate for Qin Lei, as he could only patiently wait for Chen Tu from ten meters away.
"How is your study with the Language Jade?" he asked.

Next morning. Following Tang Yun Long's suggestion, Chen Tu made his way to the Registration Office after breakfast. And as usual, he waited with the others in the queue until it was his turn. "What can I do for you today, junior?" the worker asked with impatience in his tone. In his opinion, Chen Tu is likely another disciple coming to claim his monthly salary provided by the Blood Refining Grotto. But all his following words were stuck in his throat before he could continue after Chen Tu had his disciple token taken out. "Chen - Chen Tu? You're Chen Tu?" the worker's tone changed into a more polite and easy to the ear. His attitude also had 180 degrees of turnover. Chen Tu didn't reply to him but simply nodded with a smile. And to these workers who looked down on the weak disciples, such treatment was the best venom to reeducate them. The worker immediately changed how he addressed Chen Tu from "Junior" to "Fellow Disciple Chen." And needless to say, this instantaneous change
Chapter 81: Small World
"Teacher, really? We're going to attend the examination for the Titled Alchemist this year?" Tang Yun Long couldn't help but feel excited. Naturally, he was very happy with what Elder Wei Xuan had said. After all, Tang Yun Long is turning eighteen this year. And even amongst all the disciples from both elders, his talent in Alchemy was the highest. But regardless of how he requested, Elder Wei Xuan would always reject him when it came to permission to attend the Titled-Alchemist Examination. No matter how much he begged, the elder would deem he was not ready for the test yet. Counting from the year he had been asking until now, it was almost four years past. But today, the sun seems to be rising from the west. Of course, Tang Yun Long realized that the change in Elder Wei Xuan's mind did not come from him but from Chen Tu. Without bathing in this junior brother's brilliance, he might have to wait another year or two before his chances arrive. Obviously, there was a reason for the
Chapter 80: Crimson Emblazing Pill
"Good. Very good. Then, you'll be the second official disciple of this old man from this moment onward. I am looking forward on how far you can grow." Elder Wei Xuan appeared very satisfied with Chen Tu's instant reply. This could also show how much Chen Tu had longed for this chance. "Disciple understood!" Chen Tu kneeled and raised a teacup in both hands to the elder. Regardless of the custom, serving a cup of tea to your master is essential. This customary practice not only creates a proper master and disciple but also the connections in between. "En... Those unimportant things will be told to you by Xiao Long later. For now, take this as your gift to study under my tutelage. It was the Pill Formula I promised you last time." the elder said after placing the teacup aside and taking something from nothingness. Apparently, the elder had a piece of Spatial Jade too. And from the look of it, the quality is slightly better than what Tang Yun Long had. "Why don't you take a look at i
Chapter 79: Second Official Disciple
"junior brother Chen, this Three-Star Pill... Did you refine them by yourself?" Tang Yun Long asked. Even he hadn't had success in refining a pill of this quality. At most, he is only confident in refining Two-Star Pill. Furthermore, this result was before Chen Tu was officially accepted by the elder as his second official disciple. If he was, would he be capable of Four-Star, or even a Five-Star? Of course, that kind of level is nowhere to be heard of... After all, no alchemist would dedicate all their time to researching and refining a four or Five-Star Grain Pellet. Even if that alchemist is the most foolish one, he would likely have zero to little interest in an entry-level pill like this. Looking at the Three-Star Grain Pellet sitting on the table, the elder couldn't calm his heart down. And without further ado, he put his hand out toward Chen Tu and asked for something. "Xiao Tu... Bring the Alchemist Token out." Elder Wei Xuan asked. It appears that what he will be doing
Chapter 78: About To Faint
(Hmm... I wonder what kind of medicinal pill is this Spring and Autumn Profound Pill and Lesser Vitality Pill. Could their effect be something extraordinary, like the Spiritual Replenishing or Spirit Desertification Pill?) Chen Tu spoke to his own while flipping through the pages. The contents were fairly easy for him to understand, and there was nothing to be suspicious about. But when Chen Tu came to the ingredient part, he had the urge to scratch and pull his hair. (Aargh... Now, this is where my first obstacle comes in...) Chen Tu took a few deep breaths after he set the book aside. He had mixed feelings due to what was going on inside his mind. The reason for these confusing thoughts was naturally understandable. After all, this was a lost recipe Qin Lei's father, Qin Tianbao, found from excavating the tomb of a certain expert. Interestingly, this relic site was also where Qin Tianbao had a mishap and lost one of his legs. And no wonder he would be allowed to keep these two
Chapter 77: Uncle Qin Tianbao
(What an amazing feeling... Could this be something only those in the fourth level would realize?) Chen Tu remained seated, but for every breath he took, the Spiritual Energy of his surroundings was attracted over. His body was like a leaf sponging up all the dew as it absorbed all these blimps of Spiritual Energy to nourish his flesh. This mist-like Spiritual Energy is incomparable to what a Spiritual Replenishing Pill offers. Still, it was something nobody would complain about. After all, no matter how diluted and faint this Spiritual Energy was, they're still the Spiritual Energy everyone pursued. Nobody would cover their water well when it rains because they're afraid it would be overfilled by the rainwater. Apparently, Chen Tu's guess was correct. A feat like this was indeed someone above the Flesh Tempering Stage could enjoy. And thanks to his fully-tempered flesh, Chen Tu is now more than capable of applicating Spiritual Energy to strengthen his physique. Although the diff
