Chapter 688: Butterfly Slave (55)
Master Yuanling shook his head. "This Kui Ling Flower is extremely rare. Some alchemists may never even see it in their entire lives. I only saw it by chance in an ancient book. It is difficult to find."
The city lord was somewhat desperate.
This nascent hope was suddenly extinguished.
Wen Wan: "The Kui Ling Flower? I have one, but it's the only one. So, Master Yuan Ling, you only have one chance."
"What?" Master Yuanling was shocked. "You have the Kui Ling Flower?"
The next second, Wen Wan took out the Kui Ling Flower that the system had given her before it arrived from her storage bag and handed it to Yuan Ling.
Yuan Ling held the Kui Ling Flower in her hands. "It really is the Kui Ling Flower, exactly as described in the ancient book. This is the first time I've ever seen it."
The city lord was also shocked. "Then, Master Yuanling, can you help me refine this Nine-Turn Profound Spirit Pill?"
Master Yuanling: "Of course, I will immediately have someone prepare other spiritual herbs. Once they are ready, I will refine them. This time it will be free; I will not charge you or the city lord a single penny."
To obtain the formula for the Nine Revolutions Profound Spirit Pill, a formula for a Heaven-grade pill, is priceless to an alchemist—it's beyond measure by any amount of spirit stones. Moreover, it has given him a lot of inspiration, cleared up many of his doubts, and had an extraordinary impact on his alchemy skills.
This is something I could only dream of.
Master Yuanling looked at Wen Wan and said, "Young friend, you can stay at my Dan Sect for the time being. If there is anything you want, as long as my Dan Sect has it, I will find it for you."
Wen Yan: "..."
"You saved the city lord's daughter for the token to enter the Wind and Fire Demon Realm, right? My Pill Sect also has one, and I can give it to you immediately."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
"If we could have that, that would be even better."
The city lord quickly took out a token. "Miss Wen Wan, since I promised you this token, I can't go back on my word. Master Yuanling, please grant me this favor."
Yuanling: "..."
Wen Wan obtained the token from the City Lord's Mansion.
However, he also planned to stay until the city lord's daughter was cured. After all, having obtained the token, he naturally had to help people completely resolve the matter, otherwise wouldn't he feel guilty?
Five days later.
With all the medicinal herbs prepared, Yuanling was ready to refine the pills.
Yuan Ling also had Wen Wan watch over him, and even intended to get her guidance. In the past few days, Yuan Ling had realized that even if he didn't know what grade of alchemist Wen Wan was, her theoretical knowledge far surpassed his own. It was unimaginable how strong the alchemy master behind her was. Getting her guidance would be of great benefit to his future alchemy career.
Wen Wan agreed. Even if she couldn't provide guidance herself, there was still the system, wasn't there?
Soon, Yuanling began refining pills in the furnace. The furnace she used was no ordinary furnace; even though Wen Wan didn't recognize it, she could tell it was very powerful.
I've heard that once you reach the ninth rank, you can even refine top-grade pills without a pill-refining furnace.
Yuan Ling began refining pills, with Wen Wan watching from the side, while the city lord stood guard outside.
This refining process takes five or six hours.
There was even a near explosion in the middle; if the system hadn't given him a heads-up and allowed him to change the dosage, it definitely would have exploded.
Two hours later, a strong medicinal aroma wafted over, and Wen Wan even felt refreshed, as if impurities in her body were being expelled.
At that moment, the sky suddenly turned gray, and thunderclouds began to gather.
The appearance of a top-grade elixir usually triggers celestial phenomena, and the commotion is naturally quite significant. Everyone in Thunder City witnessed it, and countless people came to the entrance of the Pill Sect. Even members of the other two forces, the Blood Alliance and the Demon Spirit Alliance, also arrived.
However, they were all blocked outside by the city lord.
"Gentlemen, please give me some face and don't try to barge in."
"Lin Qing, did you refine this top-grade pill? Was it to cure your daughter's strange illness?" the Blood Alliance leader asked.
The city lord nodded. "Yes."
"Then congratulations in advance to the city lord, your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled."
The city lord said, “It’s not the last moment yet, and I can’t be 100% sure. So please give me some face. Otherwise, if anyone disturbs Master Yuanling’s alchemy, they will be going against my city lord’s mansion and against me, Lin Qing.”
Thunder roared as a bolt of lightning struck down just as the pill floated out of the alchemy furnace. The other elders of the sect appeared and began to defend against the heavenly lightning. However, unlike before, this heavenly lightning was much stronger. There were even two more bolts than the one that appeared when Master Yuanling was refining the pill. Three bolts of heavenly lightning would be considered high-level even among top-grade pills.
Everyone outside was stunned.
The last lightning bolt was blocked only with the help of the city lord. After the three lightning bolts subsided, the pill emitted an extreme purple light, which eventually returned to white. A thick medicinal fragrance swept through the air, hundreds of times stronger than before. Even the people outside felt that breathing it was beneficial to their cultivation.
Some people even started absorbing it directly.
The Blood Alliance leader and the Demon Spirit Alliance leader were both surprised. They really didn't know who the City Lord's Mansion had encountered that could produce a pill formula that could trigger such a celestial phenomenon.
Upon successfully refining the pill, the city lord swiftly flew to Master Yuanling's side. "Master Yuanling, is this the elixir that can save my daughter?"
Master Yuanling nodded. "This can save more than just your daughter. Your daughter's demonic poison can be cured by just smelling the medicinal fragrance for a few days."
"Is all that's needed is the fragrance of herbs?" the city lord exclaimed in surprise.
The leaders of the Blood Alliance and the Demon Spirit Alliance also arrived. "Master Yuanling, congratulations on refining another top-grade pill. This one seems to be of a higher grade than the ones you refined before. I wonder if you could also refine one for us? We will definitely reward you handsomely."
Yuan Ling: "If you can find the Kui Ling Flower, I can naturally help you refine it. It will probably even be of great use to your future breakthrough to that realm."
"Kui Ling Flower?"
Yuan Ling spread the news about the Kui Ling Flower, but he didn't have high hopes. Not everyone could find the Kui Ling Flower, and this might even be the last time he refined pills with it.
Wen Wan had already returned to her room before these people came in; otherwise, she didn't know how much trouble she would have encountered.
Afterwards, he followed the city lord back to the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's daughter had barely smelled the medicinal fragrance when the ghost-face sores on her body subsided considerably, oozing a large amount of black fluid that was extremely foul-smelling, but the city lord was overjoyed.
Three days later.
The sores on the city lord's daughter's body completely disappeared, leaving not even a trace.
After washing her clean, she'll definitely be a beauty in the making.
Wen Wan's transaction was completed, but the city lord still gave Wen Wan a lot of things as a thank you gift, and said, "If you need my help in the future, Miss, I will definitely not refuse, and my city lord's mansion will not refuse either."
