Chapter 921 — Body Tempering Pills

Chapter 921 - Body Tempering Pills

"Follow them just in case they wish to trade more treasures." Elder Bei said to the examiner before leaving them alone.

Wang Xiuying led Yuan to the seventh floor shortly after.

"The seventh floor sells Tier 1 to Tier 2 herbs, medicine, and pills. Since there are too many to display, they have it all listed in a book." Wang Xiuying explained to him after they arrived on the seventh floor, where thick books were displayed instead of the medicine.

Yuan walked over to one of these books and started flipping through them.

'Mind Calming Pill, Body Reforming Pill, Three Spirits Pill, Misty Pill…'

There were over a dozen different pills at glance, and there were hundreds of pages in the book

"Yuan, if you want Tier 1 and Tier 2 pills, I can easily concoct them for you for free. I can also concoct Tier 3 pills with over 95 percent purity. Although I am still learning to concoct Tier 4 pills, I am making fast progress. Give me another month and I will be able to concoct them with 90 percent purity."

Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, but I don't think I need any pills. However, I am interested in treasures specifically for body tempering."

"There are pills for body tempering, as well. They are called Body Tempering Pills, and a single one of them can last you an entire week. They are also more effective than throwing raw medicine into the bath since pills are mixed better, and condensing them into a pill strengthens its effects.."

"Oh? I'd like some of them." Yuan immediately said.

"Then I recommend Tier 1 Body Tempering Pills first. They're incredibly painful, so I suggest you get used to the weaker ones before using the stronger pills." Wang Xiuying said.

"Don't worry, I am pretty experienced when it comes to body tempering. I'll get a Tier 4 Body Tempering Pill as well as a Tier 5 for today to test their effects."

"T-Tier 4 and Tier 5?! That's insane! Those are only recommended for Spirit Lords and above!" Wang Xiuying exclaimed, unaware of Yuan's cultivation base.

"I'm a peak Spirit Lord." Yuan pointed at himself and said.

"R-Really? B-But it hasn't even been that long since the Mystic Realm, and you were only a Spirit Master then!" Wang Xiuying said.

"I have been consuming valuable treasures and medicine since I entered the sect, and I just entered Spirit Master!"

"Comparing yourself to the Young Master is like comparing Heaven and Earth." Feng Yuxiang sneered.

Wang Xiuying's eyebrows twitched upon hearing Feng Yuxiang's remarks.

'Why does she seem so hostile? Did I offend her somehow?' She wondered inwardly.

"Anyways, I want to test out the Body Tempering Pills today. Once I know what I want, I will return for more."

They proceeded onto the ninth floor to buy the Body Tempering Pills.

After acquiring a Tier 4 and a Tier 5 Body Tempering Pill, Yuan asked, "What's on the tenth floor?"

"Oh, you can buy pill recipes and Alchemy Flames on that floor, but only people approved by the Sect Master can enter that floor." Wang Xiuying said.

"I see…"

"Anyways, is there a place where I can test out my new items?" Yuan then asked.

"You can do it at my house. I have plenty of room, and it's completely free." Wang Xiuying said.

"Sure." Yuan accepted her hospitality without any hesitation.

As they made their way downstairs, Feng Yuxiang would return to Yuan's body.

"Esteemed Guest, we still owe you 100,000 spirit stones. Would you like to retrieve them now?" The examiner said to him.

"Those two pills cost 150,000 spirit stones?" Yuan was speechless.

"Yes, the Tier 4 Body Tempering Pill costs 50,000 spirit stones, and the Tier 5 costs 100,000 spirit stones."

Yuan sighed, "Just keep them for now. I will be coming back later, anyway."

"I understand."

When Yuan and Wang Xiuying exited the Alchemy Store, they were greeted by a massive crowd of disciples waiting outside.

"Wow, why are there so many disciples here today? Is there some kind of special event?" Wang Xiuying mumbled in a dazed voice.

Once the disciples noticed their presence, they began talking to each other.

"Look! That's him!"

"So he's Senior apprentice-sister's dao companion, huh?"

"What? I thought he was her boyfriend! When did he become her dao companion?"

"He's a lot more charming than the rumors… I wish I was in Senior apprentice-sister's shoes right now…" Some of the female disciples there were charmed by Yuan's unfathomable and mysterious aura.

Suddenly, a group of figures walked out of the crowd and stood before Yuan and Wang Xiuying.

"Look! That's Disciple Gu! They're going to confront them!"

"I'm not surprised. Disciple Gu has the hots for Senior apprentice-sister Wang, after all."

"Wait, but why is the Disciplinary Squad following him?"

The disciples understood why Disciple Gu was there, but they cannot imagine why the Disciplinary Squad was there.

After all, they are primarily tasked with dealing with rule-breaking disciples.

"You! Identify yourself!" The Elder leading the Disciplinary Squad stepped forward and pointed at Yuan.

Yuan raised his eyebrows and spoke, "Why?"

"I am the Head Elder of the Disciplinary Squad! Who are you to question me?! I am the law in this place! If I asked you a question, you answer it!"

Wang Xiuying quickly stepped in and said, "Elder, there must have been a misunderstanding. This is my friend, who is currently visiting the sect as a guest."

"So he's not a disciple, huh? You heard her, Uncle Gu." Disciple Gu said to him.

"In this case… Disciple Wang, this 'friend' of yours had snuck into the sect without telling anyone, which is a violation of our sect's rules! He could even be a spy for all we know! And according to the rules of the sect, these violators may be punishable with death!"

"What?! That's nonsense! Elder Gu, my friend is not a spy!" Wang Xiuying immediately refuted.

"We will be the judge of that after we question him." Elder Gu sneered.
