C27 The Other Side of Blue Sea

Hai Qinglan held onto the pill Wu Hui had refined, and stared at Wu Hui with blazing eyes. Her face flushed red, and her chest rose and fell unsteadily.

Being stared at by Hai Qinglan like that, Wu Hui felt slightly embarrassed. Adding on the refining pills just now and consuming a large amount of Spiritual Sense, the Fire Martial Qi in his body had been exhausted as well. He sat on the ground and panted heavily.

"Wu Hui, tell me the truth. Is this really your first time refining a pill?" Seeing Wu Hui sitting on the ground, Hai Qinglan also ignored her image and crouched down, her chest revealing a sheet of snow-white skin.

"Elder Hai, it's not like you don't know. I just broke through my Profound Grade and activated the fire attribute. This is naturally my first time refining a medicinal pill." The faint fragrance on Hai Qinglan's body wafted over. Wu Hui's face flushed red, and he leaned to the side and embarrassedly opened his mouth to speak.

Hai Qinglan did not notice anything wrong with her current position, but recalled of Wu Hui's past. He had not advanced for seven years, and after breaking through, he activated the fire attribute, shocking the entire higher ups of Wu Family. Wu Qingfeng, the Innate Expert of the Wu Family, had asked him to pass on the method of refining pills to Wu Hui. But after teaching her for two days, Hai Qinglan was so shocked that her chin almost fell off.

"He memorized all the medicinal herbs in one single day. According to Wu Hui, after he memorized all the medicinal herbs in the first to fourth grades, but Hai Qinglan would have never believed it at first. At this moment, he couldn't help but believe it too. Because what was even more unbelievable was that Wu Hui had actually modified the pill formula, and made it into a pill, which was a Superior pill. Even she, as a Pill Master who had been refining for six years, had not produced a Superior pill, yet she had watched Wu Hui refine it with her own eyes. He was more than a genius. Perhaps Wu Hui really can break the limits of the fire attribute, and not the limits of his third grade." Hai Qinglan couldn't help but have a thought.

"Cough, Elder Hai, would you like to get up first?" Seeing Hai Qinglan only staring blankly at the pill in his hand, Wu Hui had no choice but to quietly remind her.

It was only then that Hai Qinglan noticed her situation when Wu Hui said so. She couldn't help but blush and as a trace of flush crawled up her neck, she hurriedly stood up. She straightened her face and suddenly giggled, "You little brat. You are taking advantage of me."

Boom! Hai Qinglan's words were like a huge rock being thrown towards his head with a buzzing sound. Wu Hui had never expected that the usually gentle and dignified Hai Qinglan would have such a mischievous side to her. He couldn't help but be dumbstruck.

Seeing Wu Hui's dazed look, Hai Qinglan actually relaxed in her heart. It had already been five years since she came to the Wu Family. Even though her status in the Wu Family was extremely high and she was equivalent to an elder, Hai Qinglan was not happy at all. She had no person to talk with. Hai Qinglan was only immersed in refining pills, hoping that she would be able to break through second grade Pill Master and leave Wu Family and searching for another place to settle down. However, the grade of Pill Master was extremely difficult to break through. Especially fire attributed Pill Master. In these six years, Hai Qinglan felt that she was still far away from a second grade Pill Master.

Hai Qinglan accepted this family. Back then, when she came, Wu Hui was still just a child. Within five years, he had grown into an elegant young man. Once he activated the fire attribute, he became a Pill Master, and his talent in pill refinement was extremely strong. It gave Hai Qinglan a pleasant surprise. Finally, someone accompanied her, and she unknowingly revealed her true nature.

"Elder Hai, you…" Wu Hui didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Wu Hui, don't call me elder anymore. It sounds like I am really old. If you don't mind, call me sister." As she said this, Hai Qinglan's face was still flushed red.

Hearing Hai Qinglan's words, Wu Hui hesitated for a moment said before opening his mouth, "Big Sister Blue."

"Yes." With a clear and melodious reply, Hai Qinglan patted Wu Hui on his head intimately with a smile that was like a flower.

"Little brother Wu Hui, I never thought that your talent in alchemy would be so great, to be able to refine a superior pill right now. If you were to reach Heaven Grade, you would definitely become a second grade Pill Master." After they became sister and brother, Hai Qinglan's mood was extremely good, so she started to chat with him in the Pill Room.

"I need to reach Heaven Grade before I can become a second grade Pill Master?" Wu Hui was a little confused, and his current cultivation had only just broken through the Profound Grade. After Nine-star of Profound Grade, he had reached the Earth Grade, and after reaching Nine-Star of the Earth Grade, he would be at the Heaven Grade. Only then can he become a second grade Pill Master. When can he actually get to that position?

"It's already not bad if one can become a second grade Pill Master after reaching the Heaven Grade. It's normal for people to be able to reach the second grade Pill Master after breaking through the Innate Grade."

"Ah!" This time, Wu Hui was truly shocked, and could not help but ask, "Is it really that difficult to advance as a Pill Master?"

"Difficult. It's even more difficult than you thought. In the Tianfeng Empire, the highest ranked Pill Masters are merely Grade Four Pill Masters, and Grade Three Pill Masters are already able to shake the world in the Tianfeng Empire. All of the forces do not dare to offend them, and instead, they try their best to rope them in. The pills made by a Grade Three Pill Master could be applied to an Innate expert. Hai Qinglan explained to Wu Hui, but when she mentioned the Grade Four Pharmacist, her eyes revealed a trace of burning passion.

No wonder high ranking Pill Masters were so rare. A single third grade Pill Master was far more precious than a Innate Martial Cultivator. Wu Hui couldn't help but think about it and rejoice in his heart. The reason why he was able to activate the fire attribute was because he had become a body of five elements and was cultivating the Five Elements Arts. He was no longer brooding over the fact that he had not made it for seven years.

"Little brother Wu Hui, there is still one more month until the day of pill distribution. In these next few days, you must help sister out a bit more." Hai Qinglan suddenly said, her face revealing a sneer.

"Ah, help? What do I help?" For a moment, Wu Hui's train of thoughts could not come to a conclusion, and he looked at Hai Qinglan with suspicion.

Pow! Hai Qinglan smacked Wu Hui's head and said, "Of course it's to refine pills. Do you really think that the pills that the disciples of the clan would obtain every three months would fly in? They were all refined due to my hard work."

It was only then that Wu Hui remembered that there would be a day when pills were distributed in the Wu Family every three months. At that time, all the talented disciples in the clan would receive pills used for cultivation.

Hai Qinglan was a First grade pill master, so the pills he refined could only affect disciples below the Earth Grade. There were more than 30 people below who were qualified to obtain medicinal pills. In other words, every three months, Hai Qinglan had to refine at least thirty pills which were required by the clan.

"Big Sister Blue, is it difficult to refine 30 or so pills in three months?" Wu Hui was a little suspicious. The first time he had seen Hai Qinglan refine pills, Hai Qinglan had been able to refine six Healing pills at once, and even he had refined three Healing pills at the same time. In that case, if they refined pills several times a day, then it wouldn't take more than a few day to refine all the pills needed.

"Don't tell me that you are treating me as your family's pill refining tool? I have my own matters and need time to cultivate as well. Furthermore, refining pills is extremely tiring, so being able to refine three batches a day is already not bad." Hai Qinglan's smile disappeared as she snorted. She was slightly unhappy.

Seeing Hai Qinglan being angry, Wu Hui did not know what to do. Only now did he remember Hai Qinglan's identity. Ordinary people definitely would not dare to offend the Guardian Elders of the family, so he could not help but blush and open his mouth, yet he did not know what to say.

Puff …

Seeing the look of embarrassment on Wu Hui's face, the originally stern Hai Qinglan could not help but laugh out loud. "Silly brother, big sister is teasing you. You are now a Pill Master, so you need to have the awareness of a Pill Master. Right now, no one in the family will casually offend you. Tomorrow I'll take you on a tour of Xin Si City and buy some herbs in Treasure Pavilion."

"Treasure Pavilion!"

Upon he hearing these three words, Wu Hui's eyes lit up.

...

The Treasure Pavilion was a unique existence in the Xin Si City. Inside it, there were all kinds of rare treasures, like pills, cultivation techniques, beast cores, medicinal herbs; everything was there. You can buy everything you want as long as you have enough money. It was said that Treasure Pavilion existed in every big city in the entire Tianfeng Empire.

...

The Xin Si City was located in the southeast part of the Tianfeng Empire. It was a middle sized city.

At this moment, a man and a woman were slowly walking on the main street of Xin Si City. The man wore green clothes, and his figure was tall and straight. He seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face was handsome with a hint of childishness. The woman was a bit older, around twenty-four to twenty-five years old. She had a beautiful face and a smile on her face. Her blue dress highlighted her slim body, making people want to take another look. Of course, these two people were Wu Hui and Hai Qinglan.

Wu Hui normally trained within the family and rarely came out. When he saw the scene on the street, he couldn't help but look around and feel a little curious.

Unknowingly, a five-story-high pavilion appeared in front of them.

The pavilion was nearly 30 meters tall, and the distance between east and west was at least 30 meters. It was magnificent and grand. Above the door to the first floor of the pavilion, there was a black, gold-plated signboard, "Treasure Pavilion". Three flamboyant words were written on the signboard. To have such a huge area in the middle of a bustling city, it could be seen that the Treasure Pavilion had an extraordinary background.

Walking into the Treasure Pavilion, Wu Hui saw rows and rows of large counters. The counter was wrapped in a large amount of crystal, and the items being sold were stored inside. Some buyers in fancy clothes were picking things out.

Martial skills, cultivation techniques, medicinal herbs and even medicinal pills were placed on the counter. However, the technique manuals were all of low Yellow Grade and the pills were only of low quality. Wu Hui inadvertently glanced at the price of a bottle of low quality pill, “10,000 taels of silver” and couldn't help but click his tongue.

In the Wu Family, most disciples would earn no more than 100 taels of silver each month, and a genius disciple like Wu Zejun would receive 300 taels of silver each month. Even if he wanted to buy a low grade one medicinal pill, it would still take him twenty-month’s earning.

"No wonder the Pill Master is so precious. If not for Hai Qinglan, the family would have spent so much money just to buy medicinal pills." Yesterday, he had thought that Hai Qinglan had only provided less than thirty pills in three months. This was at least 300,000 taels of silver. What Hai Qinglan refined were middle to high quality pills, so the price would increase several times over.
