There is less than a month left before Lan Hua and the others' final assessment.
According to Kong Xuan, the final assessment requires refining a batch of pills; if unsuccessful, the student will be forced to transfer to another hospital.
Zhou Yu, Zhou Yan'er, and the others have chosen to lie down and refine the simplest Qi Gathering Pill.
Although the Qi Gathering Pill is simple, the alchemy process is not much different from other pills.
The success rate of the Qi Gathering Pill is much higher than that of other pills.
Lan Hua had practiced Qi Gathering Pills with Kong Xuan countless times, so she naturally looked down on them.
Lan Hua's cultivation has now broken through to the eighth level of the Pure Yuan Realm, and she is only half a step away from the ninth level.
He needs to start making plans to break through his current limitations.
With Zi Yue no longer by his side, breaking through to the next realm is extremely dangerous, and the Breakthrough Pill is one of his safeguards.
Therefore, Lan Hua decided to refine a batch of Breakthrough Pills, also known as Transformation Pills, which could help him break through to the Transformation Realm.
As for Ye Jinlian, the information he received was that she was to refine a batch of Replenishing Essence Pills.
The Replenishing Essence Pill can quickly restore some of the body's energy when it is depleted, making it suitable for prolonged battles.
Lan Hua already knows the formula for the Hua Yuan Dan.
Lan Hua only managed to get this after she begged and pleaded with Kong Xuan.
The formula for the Breakthrough Pill is extremely precious and not something that students like Lan Hua can access.
The reason why the Pill God Palace has been able to stand firm is that the formula for the Breakthrough Pill has always been firmly in its own hands.
It is said that the Pill God Palace has declined, but that is only in comparison to major sects like the Immortal Sword Sect.
With its formidable strength, the Immortal Sword Sect recruited many alchemists to refine pills for their own disciples.
Even so, the Immortal Sword Sect still struggled to refine the most crucial Breakthrough Pill.
The Breakthrough Pill that can be refined at present is the easiest Initial Origin Pill, and the success rate still needs to be improved.
If others don't have it, I have it; if others have it, I excel at it.
Therefore, the Breakthrough Pills refined by the Pill God Temple remain an important resource for all major sects.
Kong Xuan once told him that the Breakthrough Pill he refined himself would have the greatest effect if he took it himself.
Because the Breakthrough Pills refined using one's own alchemical fire contain the same attributes.
This attribute can resonate with the internal fire within the body, making breakthroughs in cultivation stages smoother.
Although Lan Hua obtained the pill formula, there was one ingredient that the Pill God Palace's treasury refused to provide.
This miraculous medicine is the gall of a dragon.
The so-called "dragon gall" is the inner gall of a dragon, which is extremely difficult to obtain.
Jiaolong are close relatives of the dragon race, and their combat power is not low, making them very difficult to find.
The higher the cultivation level of a dragon, the stronger the medicinal power of its gall bladder, but the more difficult it is to obtain.
Lan Hua went straight to Kong Xuan's room, but fortunately Kong Xuan had just come out of the bath, thus avoiding a beating.
"Sister Xuan, is it really impossible to give you this dragon gall?"
Kong Xuan shook her head, "The gall of a dragon is extremely precious. Even the Pill God Palace doesn't have many. They wouldn't easily give it to a mere student to refine pills!"
Lan Hua knew that even the alchemists of their sect would not easily open their furnaces to refine Breakthrough Pills.
Unless there is an order for home delivery.
"Sister Xuan'er, is there really no other way?"
Kong Xuan was speechless, not understanding why Lan Hua insisted on refining a Breakthrough Pill for the final assessment.
If he truly needs to break through to a higher realm, the Pill God Palace will provide him with the appropriate breakthrough pills.
That's because Lan Hua knew she would eventually have to leave the Dan Shen Palace.
He needs to think about his future.
Kong Xuan sighed.
"There are still ways. You can go to the pharmacies in Zongyang City and maybe you'll find something!"
Three days later.
Lan Hua went down the mountain alone, intending to try her luck in Zongyang City.
The big gray dog has disappeared somewhere and hasn't been seen since.
On the way, Lan Hua unexpectedly ran into Ye Jinlian.
Ye Jinlian gave a slight bow, "Brother Lan, what brings you down the mountain?"
Lan Hua didn't hide anything, "I'll go see if there's any dragon gall bladder in the city!"
Ye Jinlian was slightly taken aback.
"What a coincidence! I was also planning to go to the city to see if they could find the medicinal herb I'm looking for!"
Lan Hua smiled and said, "That's wonderful! We can travel together!"
Ye Jinlian nodded with a smile, "This dragon's gall is not cheap, and it's also very rare!"
"Yes, I wonder what kind of elixir Miss Ye desires?"
After a conversation, Lan Hua learned that Ye Jinlian did indeed intend to refine a batch of Qi-replenishing pills.
However, she discovered that changing one of the medicinal ingredients in the formula for the Replenishing Essence Pill could improve its effectiveness.
However, the Pill God Palace did not possess this elixir.
Lan Hua secretly admired Ye Jinlian's skill; she had managed to find the problem with the pill formula, demonstrating considerable talent in alchemy.
"She once said that her master was an expert in medicine, and it seems that's true!"
Upon entering Zongyang City, Lan Hua went straight to the pharmacy, but found nothing.
Ye Jinlian shook her head slightly, "Dragon gall is precious; these pharmacies can't possibly have it!"
Lan Hua, remembering Ye Jinlian's familiarity with medicine, smiled and said, "So, Miss Ye knows where to find dragon gall?"
Please feel free to tell me!
Lan Hua bowed slightly to her.
When asking someone for a favor, one must be courteous, especially if the other party is a stunningly beautiful woman.
Ye Jinlian covered her mouth and smiled, almost making Lan Hua dumbfounded. Fortunately, he only had Zi Yue in his heart.
"Brother Lan, please come with me!"
The two stopped in a corner of the city.
"Baizhen Hall? They'll have dragon gall here?"
Ye Jinlian shook her head slightly: "I'm not sure either, but the probability of finding a dragon's gall bladder here is much higher!"
Inside Baizhen Hall, the lights were dazzling, the room was incredibly bright, and the decor was luxurious.
"As expected of Baizhentang, they still have so many lights on in broad daylight!"
Lan Hua didn't mince words, "Shopkeeper, do you have dragon gall?"
A middle-aged man slightly raised his eyelids, glanced at Lan Hua and the other person, and said calmly, "Of course we have them, but you can't afford them!"
Lan Hua cursed under her breath, "Damn it, they look down on me!"
Snap!
A stack of spirit stone vouchers was thrown at the shopkeeper's face; they were all high-grade spirit stones with extremely large face values.
Not only was the shopkeeper stunned, but even Ye Jinlian's eyes widened.
Lan Hua looked arrogant.
These spirit stone vouchers were naturally not his own, but were given to him by the Third Prince Zhou Yu.
The reason is simple: repayment and bodyguard fees.
The two reached a private agreement that Lan Hua would serve as Zhou Yu's personal bodyguard, and he could name his price.
This is equivalent to Lanhua having a walking money-printing machine.
The shopkeeper quickly put away the spirit stone vouchers, his face beaming with smiles.
"Enough, enough! That dragon gall only costs five thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
Five thousand high-grade spirit stones are an astronomical price for Lan Hua.
The shopkeeper's previous box.
Inside was a dried black gallbladder, the gallbladder of a dragon, containing unimaginable essence.
Ye Jinlian exclaimed in surprise, "This is the gall of a dragon that is nearly six hundred years old!"
The shopkeeper chuckled, "Young lady, you have a good eye! Ordinary dragon gallbladders are five hundred years old, but this is the last one in our shop!"
Lan Hua was satisfied and put the dragon gall into her storage ring.
Ye Jinlian also bought a medicinal herb from Baizhentang, You Ruolan.
After each of them got what they wanted, they headed straight for Danhua Mountain.
Although Zongyang City is a large city near Danhua Mountain, it is still a hundred miles away from Danhua Mountain.
The journey involves crossing a desolate, rocky wasteland.
After walking only halfway, Lan Hua suddenly felt something was wrong.
The rocky hill was too quiet.
"They must be women from the Yinluo Sect. Come out, all of you!"
