Just by its aura, one can tell the value and effectiveness of this pill.
“Miss Shangyue, this pill has a rich aroma; just smelling it is enough to produce effects. Its grade is at least above the King grade.” Lin Shanwu was quite surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you also an alchemist?”
What Lin Shanwu really wanted to ask was whether there was a Yuan-level alchemy master by her side.
It should be noted that the most powerful alchemists on the entire Abyss Star are at the Yuan level.
The highest grade of pills that have been refined so far is the Yuan grade pill.
He hadn't had the luck to see a Yuan-grade pill yet, but he had seen a Wang-grade pill, which was one grade lower than Yuan-grade, at his master's place.
The aura of that royal-grade pill couldn't compare to the pill that Jin Shangyue had just taken out.
This is enough to show that this pill is likely an extremely precious and rare Yuan-grade pill!
What Lin Shanwu didn't know was that even the Yuan-grade pills from this world were slightly less effective than the pills Jin Shangyue had taken out.
Grandpa Yu and the others were truly shocked.
If it's even higher than a King-grade pill, then it must be the legendary Yuan-grade pill.
It should be noted that there are only five Yuan-level alchemists on the entire Abyss Star.
Rank-one pills are extremely rare, so rare that they are truly priceless and unavailable.
Even a world-class, top-tier aristocratic family like the Yu family doesn't have a single Yuan-grade pill in their household.
Their eyes quickly lit up, staring intently at Jin Shangyue, filled with anticipation and nervousness.
If that's true, then wouldn't the Yu family be about to produce a Yuan-level alchemist, or someone connected to a Yuan-level alchemist?
Having this connection is a great benefit to the Yu family, enough to elevate them to a higher level.
Jin Shangyue smiled slowly and looked at Old Master Yu: "I am indeed an alchemist, but this pill was given to me by my master. My master is a Yuan-level alchemist."
"Grandpa, is this pill enough to buy a private guard? And is there any reward for curing Grandpa? I want to travel around a few states."
Yu Weilan's lips twitched. A few states?! Just for fun?!
This girl really dares to speak her mind!
He immediately asked for military power and fixed assets; his ambition is quite large, and he really doesn't know the meaning of politeness!
Such a direct and blatant demand for payment did not disgust Old Master Yu.
On the contrary, Grandpa Yu felt that this girl was indeed his own granddaughter, clear-headed and intelligent, and knew how to use her strength and ability to gain benefits.
Being straightforward and honest with family members, not playing mind games with them, and saying what you mean – that's what it means to treat them like family.
After all, saving his life was a real favor and a great achievement.
He absolutely deserves to be given several states, and even some military power.
It should be noted that the Yu family gave a considerable amount of cultivation resources to the Immortal Doctor Sect as payment in order to save him this time.
The reward Jin Shangyue demanded was less than the reward given to the Immortal Doctor Sect.
Grandpa Yu laughed heartily and readily agreed: "Good! My granddaughter is so capable, she even saved my life, she must be rewarded handsomely!"
"Since you want a private guard, then Grandpa will give you ten thousand of his own private guards, plus ten states as a reward."
"Grandpa believes in your abilities and will be able to put these people to the most suitable places and make your state capital develop better."
Song Mingying glanced sideways at her husband.
Knowing that he would give so much, part of it was to compensate Jin Shangyue for the past nineteen years of wandering.
After thinking it over, Song Mingying decided to follow her heart and go along with her first impression of Jin Shangyue.
She had a very good sense of the child and could see that she was a person with great potential.
Since that's the case, it's good to sell it now and make some compensation, after all, it's our own child.
“You saved my husband, so Grandma has a reward for you. Since you don’t like anything else but Wei Jun, Grandma will also give you 10,000 Wei Jun.”
"I'll give you ten more states as a gift, hoping you'll live a peaceful, prosperous, and joyful life."
Song Mingying thought of this child, who had not only suffered and been wronged for others in the past nineteen years, but had also been living away from home, losing the glory and resources he should have enjoyed, and wasting nineteen years of his life.
I sincerely hope that my granddaughter will have a smooth and peaceful life from now on.
Consider these guards and the city as compensation for her.
Lin Shanwu was deeply moved and kept glancing at Jin Shangyue's expression.
Even he, an observer, couldn't help but be amazed. Jin Shangyue was so calm and composed.
Her facial expression control is absolutely amazing.
She's only nineteen years old, and she comes from a lower-level territory.
Faced with such immense power and wealth, he was able to remain calm and composed, his heartbeat steady and normal.
He's a ruthless person.
This made Lin Shanwu even more curious: what kind of adventures did Jin Shangyue have, and what had she experienced, growing up and living in a low-level territory for nineteen years?
Only then can one cultivate such mysterious and powerful skills, and remain calm and composed.
In truth, Jin Shangyue was somewhat surprised.
Her original plan was to ask Old Master Yu for some military power and state capitals, estimating that she could get several thousand guards and three to five states.
Unexpectedly, the old man and his wife were so generous, giving her a private guard and the city, more than double what she had anticipated.
However, after listening to Song Mingying's words, Jin Shangyue understood that the reason the two gave so much at once was because it included some compensation.
Jin Shangyue learned that all the powerful and noble families in the Longwu Empire had their own private guards and private autonomous states.
According to the laws of the Dragon Martial Empire, a top-tier noble family like the Yu family, which controls an army corps, is allowed to privately maintain a guard of 500,000 men and to govern 600 autonomous private states.
Currently, the Yu family possesses a total of 300,000 guards and owns 521 private prefectures.
In the Yu family, only direct descendants can be assigned private guards.
Moreover, only the old master, the old lady, the new head of the family, Yu Weilan, and the eldest son of the head of the family can be assigned guards.
Privately owned states were allocated between direct descendants and collateral descendants.
The head of the family always takes the lion's share.
As the head of the Yu family, Yu Weilan had 230,000 private guards.
The old man and the old woman each had 30,000 private guards.
As the eldest son of the family head, Yu Tiancang had ten thousand private guards.
Yu Weilan's siblings, even those of direct blood, do not have private guards, only shadow guards.
As for the autonomous private states, the old man and the old woman each owned fifty states.
Their children were each assigned to one of twenty states.
In addition, three other branches of the Yu family were each allocated thirty-five prefectures.
The patriarch Yu Weilan controls 216 states.
Yu Weilan gave his wife Xue Yirou twenty of his privately owned quota states, his eldest son Yu Tiancang ten, and each of his other five children five states.
So he still had private property in 161 states.
Of course, this was before Jinshangyue was found.
