Chapter 32

Pill Medicines ranged from Grade 1 to 9, with Grade 1 being the best . Although there was something to be said for every grade . Pills with medicinal effects that achieved 90% fusion were known as ‘Supreme Grade Pill Medicines,’ while those with over 95% fusion rate were called ‘Perfect Pill Medicines . ’

“I need a better Pill Refining Furnace,” Feng Tianlan said .

She glanced at the Pill Refining Furnace and frowned slightly at the cracks running through it . The furnace that she was using was the most common kind . Not only was its pill formation rate abysmally low, but it also broke way too quickly .

She stowed away the pills and left the chamber . Seeing that the sky had darkened, she turned and entered the room to pay another visit to Chuling .

“Miss . ” Chuling immediately tried to sit up the moment she saw Feng Tianlan enter . She had laid in bed for the entire day instead of taking care of her lady . She had failed in her duties .

Feng Tianlan quickly rushed over and helped Chuling sit up in the bed . She said, “Don’t move so carelessly . Rest well and stop worrying about me . My battle with Feng Xiuyu is just around the corner, so I’ll be focusing on my cultivation these next few days . You’ll be doing me a great favor by taking good care of yourself . ”

“Miss, allow me to guard you . If not…”

“I don’t think there’s a need for that . Feng Xiuyu is injured . Most likely, she’s busy trying to achieve a breakthrough in her cultivation . She won’t have time to pick on me . All you need to do is recuperate . ” Feng Tianlan poured a Nurturing Pill out of the ceramic flask, then fed it to Chuling . “I’m waiting for you to recover, so that I can teach you how to cultivate . I don’t need useless people around me . ”

Chuling was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Tianlan in wide-eyed disbelief, “I, I…can cultivate too?”

Feng Tianlan nodded . “Of course . ”

“As you say, Miss . ” Chuling’s eyes reddened in agitation . She was but an ordinary human, weak and powerless . If she could cultivate, she would be better able to protect her lady .

“Take care of yourself . I have something to do and need to head out . ” Feng Tianlan got up and put on the rabbit mask she’d bought earlier that day . Moving like a shadow, she left the Feng Manor without alerting anyone else .

Chuling stared at the room, now empty . She recalled the ways in which her lady had seemed different over the past two days . While her behavior was strange, she quickly felt reassured . At the very least, they, the master-servant duo, would not be easily bullied in the future .

An ill-fitting overcoat, tattered and patched all over, enveloped Feng Tianlan’s frail body, and the rabbit mask covered her face . She walked into Tianhai Trade House . A slightly oversized shopkeeper yawned with eyes half-lidded .

“Shopkeeper,” Feng Tianlan said, lowering her voice .

At first, the Shopkeeper thought that this was a big customer . He snapped his eyes open and greeted enthusiastically, “Sir… …”

However, he quickly shut up after uttering that word . Seeing that the ‘customer’ was a person in tattered clothing, he shooed Feng Tianlan out, “Where did this little beggar come from? Scram! I don’t want to be tainted by your bad luck . ”

Feng Tianlan frowned slightly . Taking out a small, beaten parcel, she said, “I have something to sell . ”

Tianhai Trade House was the largest Trade House in the South Winds Nation . It frequently held auctions, including the upcoming one . The integrity and honest reputation of the Tianhai Trade House was spread far and wide across the Guiyuan Continent . There was no better place to sell pill medicines .

The Shopkeeper took a look at the small, battered parcel, and concluded straightaway that this was a little beggar . His annoyance increased .

“Leave quickly, we don’t take in rubbish here . If you linger, I’ll call the guards and throw you out . ” He bet that the beggar only had some stones in the parcel . So this beggar was trying to fleece him, huh? “Do you think the Tianhai trade House is a place where you can beg? This is a place that you can’t afford to taint, even if we sold you! What bad luck to let a little beggar into the door,” the Shopkeeper sneered as he waved in disgust . “Men, come in and beat him up . Then, throw this beggar out of the store . Before he offends our esteemed customers’ eyes!”

Feng Tianlan frowned slightly . Taking one last look at the Shopkeeper, she picked up her parcel and turned to go without hesitation . So much for the largest Trade House . She’d simply go to another one .

Before she could take any more steps, Si Rong came in straight toward her . Seeing how tattered her outfit was, Si Rong winced and immediately covered his nose . “Shopkeeper Sun, since when did you start entertaining beggars?”
