C25 Supreme Grade Medicinal Pill
In Longjing, at the Marquis Yongping Mansion, Lu Yu confined himself to his room, guarded from the outside with strict orders that no one was to enter.
Zhong Bo had taken care of purchasing all the necessary herbs early on. Despite the steep prices of some, affording them was no challenge for the Marquis Yongping Mansion.
Out of concern for not having enough, Zhong Bo bought the herbs in bulk, resulting in a substantial pile next to Lu Yu. "Well, this works out. I can refine some extra," Lu Yu said with a wry smile, shaking his head. He then channeled his true qi, sending vibrations through the heap of ingredients.
Simultaneously, a white flame gently rose from Lu Yu's right hand, and the conjured pill furnace began to rotate midair. With a flick of his left hand, and guided by the pulsing true qi, several herbs autonomously soared into the furnace.
As the herbs entered, Lu Yu closed his eyes, guiding the flame beneath the pill furnace with deliberate movements.
The flame burned softly.
After the time it took an incense stick to burn, Lu Yu abruptly lifted the lid of the cauldron. A dense, aromatic scent wafted out, revealing that the herbs had transformed into a golden pill.
"The Heavenly Yuan Golden Core!" Lu Yu exclaimed, inspecting the quality of the golden pill.
He had selected this particular medicine from the vast memories of the Heavenly Emperor Taiqian, finding it to be the most suitable. In his past life, the Heavenly Emperor Taiqian's family stockpiled these Primary Heaven Golden Pills, ideal for the younger generation cultivating their physical realm. They could unleash the body's latent potential, facilitate realm breakthroughs, and even enhance one's aptitude for cultivation.
"My sister can advance her realm after taking the Heavenly Yuan Golden Core, and even break Wang Ming's seal. Such a breakthrough will greatly benefit her future training," Lu Yu mused, always meticulous in his planning for his family's well-being. He wouldn't go to such lengths for just anyone.
"It's merely of high grade, its efficacy halved," Lu Yu frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the pill before him.
Without hesitation, he discarded and crushed it, immediately resuming the flow of true qi to start the refining process anew.
Half an incense stick's time passed, and the furnace was ready!
Lu Yu gave it another glance and crushed it without a second thought.
On the market, a single common-grade pill could fetch an exorbitant price, and those of finer quality, surpassing the common ones, were considered beyond price.
But high-grade medicine? That was the stuff of legends, typically found only within the Celestial Gate or among the elite super-families.
Yet to Lu Yu, high-grade was nothing but rubbish!
He insisted on only the finest for his family.
Another half incense stick's time went by, and Lu Yu reopened the furnace.
The scent of the medicine was now so rich it brought a sense of joy to those who inhaled it.
Inside the furnace, a golden glow seemed to trace a slow path across the pills. Astonishingly, there were three Heavenly Yuan Golden Pills nestled within!
As Lu Yu lifted the lid completely, the golden radiance burst forth, unable to be contained, shooting up towards the heavens.
Ding!
The room was bathed in golden light, shining so brightly from within that it resembled countless glowing pearls from the outside.
"Supreme Grade medicine, huh? Not bad. The Heavenly Yuan Golden Pill isn't exactly a profound concoction, but reaching Supreme Grade is the ultimate achievement!" Even as he spoke, a hint of regret tinged Lu Yu's voice.
In his past life, he had crafted a Spiritual Gold Pill, a medicine imbued with its own consciousness, incredibly mystical in nature.
Moreover, in the myriad realms, Lu Yu had heard of a Daolord whose very essence was an Emperor Grade medicine—far more profound.
"Time to test the effects!"
Without a moment's pause, Lu Yu eyed the three Heavenly Yuan Golden Pills, still aglow with brilliant golden light, and swallowed them all in one go.
