Chapter 502: At The Pill Peak (1/2)

Here, Lin Mu could see that the lines for those that were desiring to buy the alchemical pills were longer than those of buying.

Lin Mu got closer and saw the entire process of transactions. The disciples would approach the exchange window and talk with the other disciple who was working within. They would state what they wanted to buy or sell and then present their badge to the worker.

The worker disciple would check this badge and would then add or deduct sect credits according to what was bought or sold. This transaction was not done on the whim of the worker disciple but rather a formation array that was in the form of a pedestal.

The worker would enter the value and then place the badge on the pedestal. This would complete the transaction by deducting or adding the sect credits. Overall, the process was simple and the only thing that consumed most of their time was the checking of pills.

Lin Mu wanted to get closer, but was blocked by the barrier surrounding the entire building. He looked around and saw that the only way to enter it was through the designated doors.

”Hmm… let's see…” Lin Mu muttered as he timed his attempt.

He waited for one of the workers to leave the building before he took that chance to pass below the door. He had noticed this flaw in the formation as the formations would open much wider than they should have when the door was opened.

Normally the opening should have been of the same size as that of the door but whoever made the formation did not consider the expansion of the formation during that or was careless enough to let the flaw there.

'Well… it's my gain anyway.' Lin Mu thought to himself.

The building was smaller than the warehouse for herbs, but the security seemed to be higher in the case of actual people. There were shelves upon shelves in the room upon which various containers for the pills.

There were gourds, vials, pill bottles and boxes, all of distinct qualities. Though one thing Lin Mu notice was that the highest quality pill that could be found here was a mid rank spirit pill.

”So that's the reason for two pill repositories. This one is mostly for lower quality pills and the other one should be for the higher quality ones.” Lin Mu guessed.

Lin Mu then spent an hour observing the different formation layers of the pill repository. Because the doors would open and close along with the shelves, the formations were active a lot. This allowed Lin Mu to get a better grasp on its working.

It was similar to how Lin Mu had seen the vault of Herb peak open and was only going to make it easier for him to open them later on. Once he felt like it was enough, Lin Mu moved onto the second pill repository which was some distance from this one.

On the way, he could see that the residences for disciples that were built here were of a much better quality than the earlier ones.

”Hmm… I guess they allot them according to some ranking.” Lin Mu guessed.

He briefly looked over one of the residences and saw that they were similar in features to the earlier ones, except for the size and better formations.
