Chapter 74: Being Robbed But Ended Up Robbing?
Wouldn’t you agree?
It was a difficult task to be a pill master.
If he’d learnt anything from his interactions with Ling Chuxi, it was that what she termed as little was not what he would consider little.
“Why’d you even want these herbs for?
These herbs were sold for a mere dozen taels at medicinal halls—they were only worth anything if they were refined into medicinal pills.
Instead of chasing offenders down themselves, pill masters sent powerful cultivators after such offenders to kill them.
Doesn’t matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still something to eat in desperate times. View the correct content at f|ree(w)ebn\o.vel.co(m)
“You know how to refine pills?!” blurted Ling Yichen as he looked at Ling Chuxi in astonishment.
His laughter was obnoxious and the words he spewed even more so.
These offenders would panic and run about helter-skelter to avoid such a fate, never to live in peace ever again.
Their calm and savvy attitudes spoke to the fact that they were used to this kind of thing from having done it before.
‘Chuxi, how many other secrets do you have that I’m unaware of?’
Ling Chuxi blinked at the five people before her.
Did Ling Chuxi even know how much pill masters were valued?
As the world was indeed cruel, allowing students to gain exposure to its injustices as such wasn’t deemed a bad thing.
They must be older students at White Stone Academy.
Every one of them glared at Ling Chuxi aggressively, looking ready to strike at once should she not comply with their demands.
One might dare offend a strong cultivator, but one would not dare offend a superb pill master.
With a mere flick of their fingers, they would be able to refine a supreme tier medicinal pill and have many a strong cultivator willingly risk their lives in their stead!
“I know a little about it,” answered Ling Chuxi nonchalantly.
Little sister, if you don’t want to hurt yourself just put down the herbs and piss off with that little sugar-baby face of yours,” said the young man who stood next to the man with the facial scar.
Just as Ling Chuxi got to her feet cheerfully after picking the herbs she wanted, a cold voice rang out from her right.
Both new and older students were participating in the training together, but based on their dressing and manner of conduct, this group were clearly not made up of new students.
Situations like this were common during White Stone Academy’s annual training.
“Should we just let them… or should we rob them instead?”
He laughed as he spoke.
Amongst the three men and two women, they had archers, swordsmen and a dagger wielder.
The higher the tier of the pill, the higher the chance of failure.
Ling Chuxi’s gaze frosted over.
“Yichen, they want to rob us.
If the innate talent of a cultivator was one in a thousand, then the innate talent of a pill master was one in ten thousand and perhaps even scarcer than that.
There was an arrow nocked in the drawn bow in his hands that was directed right at Ling Chuxi’s face.
The probability of failure during the pill refinement process was very high.
He looked up to see Ling Chuxi happily rushing off to collect the herbs she had pointed out earlier and felt a jolt of shock go through his heart.
It required a great amount of innate talent.
What should we do?” asked Ling Chuxi innocently as she tilted her head to look at Ling Yichen.
She was a pill master!
Ling Yichen’s lips twitched at the sound of Ling Chuxi’s question.
A pill master pretty much equated to great wealth and a respectable status!
They were standing in single file with weapons in their hands.
It’s amazing that you think they’re worth anything,” muttered Ling Chuxi.
Their expressions were all on point.
Was this a robbery attempt?
Ling Yichen remained silent for a while.

An amount so vast that it was incomparable to the quantity of innate talent a cultivator possessed.
“If you don’t want to ruin your pretty face, put the herbs down and get lost immediately.”
The academy never made efforts to stop it and if anything, quietly condoned it.
His eyes were full of disbelief at her casual words.
She turned and saw five people dressed in black undercover mission garments.
The one leading the charge was a man with a scar on his face. fre.eweb(n)ovel\.c om
“No matter how little something is worth, it’s still worth something.
Medicinal pills were especially important in this realm as cultivation was such a widespread practice here.
The beneficial effects such medicinal pills enabled were a far cry from decocted herbs.
However, as to the question of whether or not to rob them instead, Ling Yichen would have rather Ling Chuxi asked it in a tone that wasn’t pure or innocent in any regard.
