Chapter 12: Pill Grade (1/2)

Yang Wei was praising Elder Jing for succeeding in her pill concoction but doesn't know much besides that.

”Yang Wei, you congratulate me but do you even know what this pill is in detail?” Elder Jing said as she opened her hand and revealed the pill.

”Uhh….” Yang Wei was unable to answer her question.

”This pill is a mid-Earth grade pill and if it goes to an auction, the price would be 2000-5000 spirits stone.” Elder Jing said with a smug facial expression.

Yang Wei twitched his face a bit because of Elder Jing's shameless behavior.

'What happened to the serious Elder Jing when she was concocting the pill?'

When she was concocting this pill, she was extremely focused but now that she's done, she had an expression that is similar to those arrogant youths.

”Tch, I'm being prideful because I have the capability to. Based on your insignificant knowledge, I suppose you don't even know the pill grade.”

”It would be my honor to have Elder Jing explain to this lowly being.” Yang Wei went to bootlicking mode to have Elder Jing teach him more.

The bootlicking of Yang Wei was not perfect but enough to convince Elder Jing to be in the mood to explain.

”What I just concoct is an Earth grade pill. There are 4 types of pill categories which are Mortal grade, Earth grade, Sky grade, and Heaven grade.”

Elder Jing explains and continues to talk more about the difference in their ranking.

”Each rank showcases their difference such as a Mortal grade healing pill can never out beat an Earth grade healing pill in effect. Also, the higher the pill grade and purity, the more expensive it is.”

Nodding his head in acknowledgment, Yang Wei is impressed with Elder Jing's skill to be able to concoct a mid-Earth grade pill in a third-rate sect.

Once Elder Jing finishes explaining everything, Yang Wei is kicked out since she'll need a shower to clean off her sweat.

Yang Wei didn't stay any longer as he had to memorize all the herbs in a swift manner.

While walking out, the guard gave him a bow as they waved their hand to send off Yang Wei.

Yang Wei simply nodded his head to reply and return his pace in walking back to his room.

”Looks like Elder Jing is fond of that kid since he was able to leave in one piece.”

”Yep, this is the first time Elder Jing didn't thrash a disciple and he also has Elder Jing's encyclopedia book of herbs.

The guard was talking to each other and saying how Yang Wei is a special one.

However, they wouldn't go over gossiping to others in case Elder Jing found out the source is from them.

To get on the bad side of Elder Jing in this sect is equivalent to leaving the sect because no one will help you anymore.

Yang Wei at this moment arrived back to his room and the guards bowing to him were completely forgotten.

He only got respect because of Elder Jing and not from him. To earn true respect, one must be strong by themselves and not relying on others' fame.

'Elder Jing wants me to memorize at least one-third of this encyclopedia and I'll probably be thrash if I fail to do it.'

Not wanting to waste any more time, Yang Wei walks to his bed before opening the book and looking over thousands of different herbs.

'Rootleaf herb, a toxin type which is an ingredient needed to create a pill for healing bone fractured.'

'Fire ginseng, a mild type that is a core ingredient for restoring a person's true qi.'

Yang Wei mumbled the different ingredients in his mind and found out there are core ingredients that couldn't be replaced.

Core ingredients could not be replaced but supplementary ingredients could be replaced with something equivalent to the original herb's effect.

Yang Wei is engrossed in all these new types that he stayed up the entire night to study.

Gradually, Yang Wei was able to memorize over 500 herbs in one night.

'Having a powerful soul is indeed nice since memorizing things became so much easier.'

A smile appears on Yang Wei's face to be able to complete the task but most importantly, his increased knowledge in alchemy.

Very soon, Yang Wei could also try to concoct a mortal grade pill himself if he manages to curry favor with Elder Jing.
