ch 574 - New Plans; Fooled 3 (1/2)

“You are right, Young Mistress. You let me know how you want to move forward with this. Young Mistress, I have plenty of formulas. A lot of them don’t even exist here. But you are right in that it’s more the standard and better to provide our disciples with pills than herbs. We don’t have that currently and that’s something that you will need to figure out.”

“Oh? What are our major hurdles right now?”

“As I have just said. First, we will need a furnace to make the pills in. This is very important. Next is, we will need a source for fire, preferably a high quality one. The source of the fire will greatly impact the outcome of the process.”

“Okay, I see. It seems those over at Valley of the Alchemists are the only ones who know how to concoct pills on this continent. It’d appear that I’d need to make a tirp there.”

“Exactly. We will only be able to concoct our own pills if we have these two items.”

These were no ordinary items. Either way she looked at it, she’d need to go ask for help. Cheng Xiao Xiao thought to herself as she walked.

“Xiao Xiao.”

After she had returned to Yuteng Pavilion, Cheng Xiao Xiao ran into Mo Xuanzun who didn’t show up earlier. Seeing that he had just walked out from her quarters, she couldn't help but asked, “Abacus? What you are doing here? Are you looking for me?”

“Yes, I am looking for you. Let’s go look for Ancient Forefather.” Mo Xuanzun smiled, held her hand, and started leading her away from Yuteng Pavilion.

“You have something up your sleeves…”

Cheng Xiao Xiao gave him a look but didn’t dwell on that too much. Walking side-by-side with him, she asked, “Say, have you heard about what happened at Yan?”

“Yeah. I didn’t go to the living room earlier, but I have heard it from Elder Zhengzong. Those from the City of Heitu had targeted the Luo’s and we could be their next target, right?” A cold light flashed past Mo Xuanzun’s eyes; he knew the content of their conversation quite well.
