《Primordial Cultivator》Pill Grade

Advertisement

Yang Wei was praising Elder Jing for succeeding in her pill concoction but doesn't know much besides that.

"Yang Wei, you congratulate me but do you even know what this pill is in detail?" Elder Jing said as she opened her hand and revealed the pill.

"Uhh…." Yang Wei was unable to answer her question.

"This pill is a mid-Earth grade pill and if it goes to an auction, the price would be 2000-5000 spirits stone." Elder Jing said with a smug facial expression.

Yang Wei twitched his face a bit because of Elder Jing's shameless behavior.

'What happened to the serious Elder Jing when she was concocting the pill?'

When she was concocting this pill, she was extremely focused but now that she's done, she had an expression that is similar to those arrogant youths.

"Tch, I'm being prideful because I have the capability to. Based on your insignificant knowledge, I suppose you don't even know the pill grade."

"It would be my honor to have Elder Jing explain to this lowly being." Yang Wei went to bootlicking mode to have Elder Jing teach him more.

The bootlicking of Yang Wei was not perfect but enough to convince Elder Jing to be in the mood to explain.

"What I just concoct is an Earth grade pill. There are 4 types of pill categories which are Mortal grade, Earth grade, Sky grade, and Heaven grade."

Elder Jing explains and continues to talk more about the difference in their ranking.

"Each rank showcases their difference such as a Mortal grade healing pill can never out beat an Earth grade healing pill in effect. Also, the higher the pill grade and purity, the more expensive it is."

Nodding his head in acknowledgment, Yang Wei is impressed with Elder Jing's skill to be able to concoct a mid-Earth grade pill in a third-rate sect.

Once Elder Jing finishes explaining everything, Yang Wei is kicked out since she'll need a shower to clean off her sweat.

Yang Wei didn't stay any longer as he had to memorize all the herbs in a swift manner.

While walking out, the guard gave him a bow as they waved their hand to send off Yang Wei.

Yang Wei simply nodded his head to reply and return his pace in walking back to his room.

"Looks like Elder Jing is fond of that kid since he was able to leave in one piece."

"Yep, this is the first time Elder Jing didn't thrash a disciple and he also has Elder Jing's encyclopedia book of herbs.

The guard was talking to each other and saying how Yang Wei is a special one.

However, they wouldn't go over gossiping to others in case Elder Jing found out the source is from them.

To get on the bad side of Elder Jing in this sect is equivalent to leaving the sect because no one will help you anymore.

Yang Wei at this moment arrived back to his room and the guards bowing to him were completely forgotten.

He only got respect because of Elder Jing and not from him. To earn true respect, one must be strong by themselves and not relying on others' fame.

'Elder Jing wants me to memorize at least one-third of this encyclopedia and I'll probably be thrash if I fail to do it.'

Not wanting to waste any more time, Yang Wei walks to his bed before opening the book and looking over thousands of different herbs.

'Rootleaf herb, a toxin type which is an ingredient needed to create a pill for healing bone fractured.'

'Fire ginseng, a mild type that is a core ingredient for restoring a person's true qi.'

Yang Wei mumbled the different ingredients in his mind and found out there are core ingredients that couldn't be replaced.

Core ingredients could not be replaced but supplementary ingredients could be replaced with something equivalent to the original herb's effect.

Yang Wei is engrossed in all these new types that he stayed up the entire night to study.

Gradually, Yang Wei was able to memorize over 500 herbs in one night.

'Having a powerful soul is indeed nice since memorizing things became so much easier.'

A smile appears on Yang Wei's face to be able to complete the task but most importantly, his increased knowledge in alchemy.

Very soon, Yang Wei could also try to concoct a mortal grade pill himself if he manages to curry favor with Elder Jing.

Although Elder Jing has an eccentric personality, she was a straightforward one where if she doesn't like you, she will thrash you.

Yang Wei closed the book for the day before taking a steamy shower since he was starting to smell due to the sweat.

Once Yang Wei finished showering, he took another 3 hours to practice his movement technique and continue to familiarize his control of true qi.

After doing his daily training, Yang Wei starts to head toward Elder Jing courtyard to do his mission.

As usual, when the guard notices Yang Wei coming, they bow again and Yang Wei nods in return before entering.

"Elder Jing, I'm here."

"Did you memorize one-third of the herbs yet?"

"Replying to Elder Jing, I have memorized one-third of the herbs." Yang Wei replied without revealing the fact that he has memorized almost half of the herbs.

'Never boast or brag about one's achievement and be humble instead.' This was another great term Yang Wei kept in his heart when he was still alive on Earth.

If someone has the capability then even when you don't do any advertisement, you'll be noticed by others. There is no need to boast or brag to anyone just so they could notice you since it will backfire.

"Alright since you memorize a third of them, I expect zero mistakes during this time. If you have one mistake then I'm going to beat you so badly that you won't be able to get up for a week."

Elder Jing said with a bright smile hanging on her face.

Yang Wei can't help but feel a chill going in his body from that smile full of menace.

"O-Of course, Elder Jing." Yang Wei said in a stuttering tone for the first time ever in his life.

'Women are truly a frightful being.'

Elder Jing nodded in approval with Yang Wei's attitude since she wants to establish her domineering figure and authority.

Yesterday was a shameful behavior from her because she finally managed to concoct an Earth-grade pill.

With this chip in hand, her position and influence in the sect will increase. Not just the sect, even other people outside of the sect have to treat her with the utmost respect.

"Today, we will not be concocting a pill as the sect does not have any more ingredients available. Although I can request the elders to gather them for me, I prefer to gather them myself because this next pill I'm experimenting with is important to me."

"Elder Jing's meaning is….." Yang Wei is imagining them going to the forest and picking up herbs.

"Your brain is smart Yang Wei. That's right, we are going to explore a mystery realm that has recently opened every 15 years. There are many rare and unique herbs inside. As an alchemist, our greatest dream is to see each and every ingredient and use them as material to create a miracle pill."

"B-But Elder Jing, my cultivation is only at the middle 2nd stage of Qi Condensation." Yang Wei said to disrupt Elder Jing's excitement.

If he really accompanied her to a mystery realm then the chance of him dying is high due to his low cultivation base.

"Don't worry, consume this pill and you will break through to the 4th stage of Qi Condensation. Consider it an advance reward for accompanying me." Elder Jing said as she took out a small container from her spatial ring.

Yang Wei took the small container and opened the lid slowly

*Sniff*

Smelling the rich medicine aroma, Yang Wei can tell this is a pill for increasing their cultivation base and it's a peak Mortal grade.

It could be considered an early Earth-grade pill as well.

Besides, this pill would not be able to be obtained by him anytime sooner. After all, the purity of this pill is at least 90%.

Even if Yang Wei worked hard to earn contribution points, it will still nowhere be near enough to purchase this kind of pill in the Treasure Hall.

"Elder Jing, this pill is too precious. I cannot have it without doing anything." Yang Wei said firmly before closing the lid to hand it back to Elder Jing.

Yang Wei would love to consume the pill but he has to refuse such a precious pill when he contributes nothing.

Although it is said that he helped Elder Jing in placing the ingredients into the cauldron, that kind of work could be done by anyone and even Elder Jing herself.

The saying, 'reward is for those who contributed' is applied and Yang Wei is obliged to retain his principle otherwise, it would create a blockage to his cultivation.

Therefore, Yang Wei would part with this gift even though it is a shame to not be able to consume to increase his cultivation base.
