115 Pill Making Genius, Part One (1/2)

Genius in pill making? He…

Yun Mengxiang slightly paused as suspicion and shock rose in her eyes. She never would have thought that the youth she thought was normal would be a ‘pill making genius’, and from Old Man Guan’s tone, apparently he had fought with another Vice Head for Zhao Feng.

Hearing this, Pill Master Yun Yao was also surprised, and she surveyed Zhao Feng in a new light.

In terms of pill making, Yun Yao had to admit that Vice Head Guan was one of the best and most knowledgeable. But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find anything special about Zhao Feng. If the reason he was a genius was because he was young and had a lot of potential, he still couldn’t be compared with some pill masters in the Clan that had been studying pill making ever since they were young. Looking at Princess Yun Mengxiang’s expression, Yun Yao started to think Old Man Guan’s eyes were off.

“Have you ever learned pill making or helped someone make pills before?” Yun Yao asked.

Pill making needed a vast amount of knowledge as its foundation.

“Nope, I don’t know a thing.” Zhao Feng didn’t hide this because both Old Man Guan and Old Man Zhang knew this. In reality, he was also curious as to why Vice Head Guan and Vice Head Zhang had chosen him.

_Doesn’t know a thing?_

Yun Yao and Yun Mengxiang looked at each other in disbelief. A youth without any knowledge of pill making had been fought over by a pill master and an array master.

Dissatisfaction immediately rose in Princess Yun Mengxiang’s heart. She didn’t believe that she was worse than Zhao Feng. Yun Yao also felt dissatisfaction for her niece because the latter had started learning pill making at a young age just for this day.

Considering this, Pill Master Yun Yao called Old Man Guan to the side.

“Vice Head Guan, my niece is the Princess of the Cloud Country and she has studied the path of pills since she was young. In terms of cultivation and pill making, she surpasses that youth named Zhao by far…” Yun Yao confidently recommended her niece to Old Man Guan.

In what aspect was she weaker than Zhao Feng?

In terms of identity, she was a princess, and thus surpassed even inner disciples. In terms of talent and knowledge of pill making, Yun Mengxiang easily beat Zhao Feng.

“Haha, Pill master Yun Yao, do you think my eyes have gone bad? I’ve been in the Clan for almost a hundred years, what kind of genius haven’t I seen?” Old Man Guan laughed.Throwing aside cultivation and authority, he also beat Yun Yao in experience.

Yun Yao was speechless. Yes, she had only thought for her niece, but she had forgotten Vice Head Guan’s experience. In almost a century of time, the Vice Head had seen too many geniuses rise and fall.

Maybe there was something different about Zhao Feng…

Although she thought about this and still felt some dissatisfaction, she wanted to see what was so special about Zhao Feng.

“Since you’ve just arrived at the Grass-Wood Division, you should familiarize yourself with the the ‘Beginner’s Guide for Pill Making’ and the ‘Pill Flame Heart Manual’. If you gain insights into them, it would be even better. Apart from this, you will follow Pill Master Yun Yao and learn the foundation of pill making…”

Old Man Guan soon informed Zhao Feng of what to do.

Zhao Feng took the Beginners Guide to Pill Making and the Pill Flame Heart Manual, nodded his head, and left.

“Old Man Guan will be making some extremely important Spiritual Pills during the next few days, so I can answer your questions about pills,” Yun Yao said with a smile.

Like this, Zhao Feng and Princess Yun Mengxiang started to learn from Yun Yao.

“He doesn’t even know the basics of pill making, so how would he gain sights from the Beginner Guide for Pill Making? Even I felt that it was hard to learn the Pill Flame Heart Manual.” Princess Mengxiang curled her lips in disdain.

Zhao Feng’s expression was innocent as he shook his head helplessly. He hadn’t even chosen to come here.

Princess Yun Mengxiang felt as if she had hit a pillow, how did Zhao Feng get such luck?

“Mengxiang, don’t be disrespectful,” Yun Yao said harshly, then turned apologetically to Zhao Feng. “There’s a vast amount of knowledge involved in pill making. You must remember the elements of all types of plants and from that basis, you will be able to gather the essence of these plants. In the Broken Moon Clan, every pill maker must familiarize themselves, or even memorize the ‘Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations’.”

Yun Mengxiang, waiting to the side, was stunned; it was extremely hard to memorize the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations.

Tens of thousands of resources were included in that book, and normal pill makers could only memorize a bit of it. Even Princess Yun Mengxiang herself had only memorized 2000-3000 plants and their elements.

What was auntie’s intention by making Zhao Feng read the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations?

Yun Mengxiang’s brain suddenly clicked and she understood. A smile appeared on her lips; when this brat saw the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations, the vast amount of knowledge would make him quit.

“Thank you for your suggestion.” Zhao Feng wasn’t suspicious at all.

_Shua! Shua! Shua!_

Zhao Feng first flipped through the Beginners Guide for Pill Making and Pill Flame Heart Manual and soon, he had memorized them both.

The Beginners Guide for Pills Making was pretty easy to understand because the contents were lodged in his head and therefore, it was easier to understand. Apart from that, Zhao Feng’s understanding and analytical ability far surpassed other youths of the same age.

It was the Pill Flame Heart Manual that was tricky; it was almost as hard as a Low Class Mortal skill, but the true problem was that Zhao Feng lacked basic knowledge.

“It looks like Pill Master Yun Yao is right.” Zhao Feng went to find the Ten Thousand Plant Illustrations.
