Without bothering about his remaining time, Long Feng knows that he should refine as much [Blood Refinement Pellet] as he could depending on his available resources. As he still holding a total of 56 Units of [Seven Needle Flower] in his hand, Long Feng hesitates not, and goes through with the refining of 13 total attempts. Long Feng makes no mistakes, giving only the best concentration in each and every step he makes in the Refining effort. As the results came out, Long Feng immediately feel 312 Pills richer. A total of 156 Middle-Rank and Upper-Rank Pills is produced, and a smile of satisfaction could be seen on Long Feng's face.

Long Feng decided that he should be getting out from the Cave to breathe in some fresh air, just to treat it as a form of relaxing his body and mind before continues with the Pill Refining and Cultivating. He takes his own leisure time, heading back for a shower, and later for a walk around the Bronze Pill Hall until he reached the Virtue Hall. Long Feng entered the Hall, only to see nobody within. Long Feng cleaned the Hall to its prime condition, and leave the hall soon afterward.

He continues walking around until he makes a stop before the Tower of Knowledge. Long Feng remembered the incident where he was bullied by two senior when he just returned from the Virtue Hall, and grit his teeth for not getting used to those kinds of treatments. But currently, after barely two months within the Bronze Pill Hall, Long Feng had already made quite a name for himself, obtaining favors from Great Elder Ao Luo, Master Tang Wen, Myriad Ingredient Pavilion's Elder Yongheng Zhiya, deceased Teacher Han Feng Xian, and many more special people in his life.

Life passed in a blink of an eye, and now, barely 18 days are still left before the auction is starting. Long Feng wanted to put in his Pills into the auction, but without Nan Jing Jing by his side, he felt slightly lost in directions. "I wonder how is Jing Jing doing now..." Long Feng worries about his wife, but in the same time, hesitates to speaks or disturb her because of both of them, are in a difficult situation at the moment. But as he walked along the stone path leading to the Jade Cultivating Land, a silhouette appears in front of him, wondering about the same thing as Long Feng does.

"Jing Jing?" Long Feng is the first to notice her. As he called her name out loud, Nan Jing Jing as well wakes from her soulless walking. "Husband?" she looks at Long Feng for a moment, rubbed her eyes once, look again, and finally the sense returns to her mind. "Husband! I miss you so much! Do you know, General's Mansion is thoroughly destroyed, father and other uncles are injured, Mother is missing and so many things happened in between this two weeks." Nan Jing Jing breaks as she saw Long Feng.

The same goes to Long Feng, even he falls few drops of tears as he remembered about his mother's forced to leave positions. But as he thinks about it, again and again, Long Feng decides on one thing. "Jing Jing! Let us grow strong together, and then when we reached the stage of Cultivation required, we will personally bring our mother back to our side!" Long Feng announce his aim to Nan Jing Jing and hope she would support his decision. "Alright. Let us grow up stronger than ever, and go to that Heavenly Blossom Empire to bring back our mother!" Nan Jing Jing drops a few more tears as she stands up and make the same announcements, and hugged Long Feng tightly.

"Husband, do not leave me no matter what. If there is a choice of [Live and Run Away] and [Die Together], please choose the latter one." Nan Jing Jing vowed that if they were to force to decides such endings, they will both choose the choices of the latter. The two of them continue to talk along with their walk, and as Long Feng shared his successful attempt in refining the Fierce Tiger Pill, Nan Jing Jing mood became even cheerful. "Husband! This is a very important issue! How much of the successful Pills you have in hand for now?" Nan Jing Jing immediately went into her [I Goddamn know everything!] mode and starts questioning her husband.

"I have 97 Upper-Rank version in my hand, for now, we should be heading over to the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion to purchase more ingredients, as I had almost half of the ingredients wasted in my experimenting attempts." Long Feng reveals the amount he has in hand, and that answer gave Nan Jing Jing a shock. But she quickly went back to normal, as she withdraws a bamboo tube with fireworks within. She injects some Essence Energy and activates the fireworks.

"Fiiiii... Bam!" the fireworks fly up above the sky and exploded, showing a word of [Jade] upon the explosion. Almost instantly, two special collection officer from the House of Miraculous Jade appears before them and initiates a conversation. "My name is Du Zhe, this is my assistant, Du Ming. We saw the fireworks along our way, do you have any treasures you wish to put on the auction?" the young man appears before the couple and politely introduce themselves before the comes to the most important questions.

"Master Du Zhe, this junior name Long Feng, I wish to participate in the auction with this few Pills of mine in hand." Long Feng withdraws a total of five Pills in his hand. As the Pill makes its appearance, the Collection Officer Du Zhe eyes shine for a moment as he started to talks. "Pill Master Long Feng, this Pill's quality is not bad. A Sub-Version of [Emperor Tiger Pill] and a rank 4 Pills in its Class. What name did you put on the success of this Pill?" Du Zhe evaluates the worthiness of this Pill before he asked for its name, the moment he looked at Long Feng's face directly, he gave Long Feng a smile.

"I named it [Twelve-Ingredients Tiger Stripes Soul Pill]." Long Feng opened up and reveals its name to the Collection Officer. "Good. Even if it's only using twelve ingredients, the quality is still managed to enter the rank 4 pills category. If I'm not mistaken, this pill could fetch the price of at least 50,000 Spirit Bronze Coins in a stack of 5 Pills each box. Of course, this is the opening auction price. The Luck of doubling and tripling its price is all depending on the participants on that day. Do you still have any more of this Pills, so Du Zhe could push its price further?" the Collection Officer Du Zhe honestly appraise its prices, and out of Long Feng's expectation, the price for each Pill could have the possibility if it was sold at 50,000 Spirit Bronze Coins on the opening price.

Long Feng then withdraw another 45 Pills from his Spatial Ring and passed it all to Du Zhe for inspections. In the same time, Long Feng inquire about the difference between the Ranking Class for the Pills within the auction. "I can see you are just an Adept Tier Cultivator for now, but sooner or later, you will be deeply related within this, so I guess It wouldn't hurt to spend some time to explain it to you." Du Zhe starts giving out information related to the Pills Quality and Ranking Classes.

In a much more simpler term, it is a category of preciousness a pill have to allows it to be graded in a certain way. Of course, this is only applied for the term of [Rare / Precious / Oddities / Human and Earth / Mysterious] type of Pills. Pills that was easily found in the market, such as Cultivation Pills, Tempering Pills, Basic Poison Pills, Mind and Body Pills, are considered as Common and Uncommon Category, unless if a Master-Rank Pill is produced. To make it easier to inspect the Pill category and place it in the class ranking it deserves, an appraiser would be required, and most of the appraiser possess the constitution of [YinYang Spirit Eyes] or [Major/Minor Elemental Born Body] to be qualified, although it is not fully restricted.

The primary inspection would be similar with how Elder Yongheng conducts his appraising test on Long Feng's failure pills, but from the direct appraisal from the Collection Officer, these difficulties could be increased by at least double to triple difficulties. But other than the primary inspection, a secondary inspection is conducted as well, which is to give the points to the medicinal pill in the term of Cultivating, Healing, Enhancing, Poisoning, Blessing. Each special Pills will always carry between two to three term within as they are appraised, it is a rare occasion if there are a four term Pills, and if the Pills could achieve all five terms, they usually won't be sold in such small auction, but Kingdom Class auction.

Since Long Feng's [Tiger Stripes Soul Pill] possess around 4-Cultivation Points, 4-Healing Points and 4-Enhancing, so Du Zhe easily deduce this pill to be a fourth Rank Category Pills. Of course, this doesn't mean that the pills are weak, only the focus of this Pill is distributed evenly. With the Collection Officer finish his explanations, he added a few more words to the couple. "Dear Pill Master, I could see your name within the auction attendance list as well, so please keep this five tubes of Sky Jade Fireworks. As long there is a Collection Officer nearby, we will attend to you as soon as we saw the fireworks." Du Zhe received the 50 Pills from Long Feng, and provide him with a piece of a token. "This is the mark of the auction. With this token, when you are bidding in the auction, your price will be automatically deducted from the total of your item sales."

"And one more thing. There will be a Sixth Rank Category Pills and a Seventh Rank Category Pills within the auction, do anticipate its appearance when you are in the auction! Please excuse us, and have a good day." Du Zhe finished his words as he swiftly disappeared from their sight without a hint of sound.

"Husband!" Nan Jing Jing wakes Long Feng from his trance, and try to see what is happening with her husband. But with Long Feng looking blank all over again, Nan Jing Jing just couldn't resist herself and gave him another knock on the head. "Wife, you should knock my head less, I'm getting more stupid because of those frequent knocking." Long Feng jokingly speaks. "As if it's from me. You are already stupid from the first moment I saw you." Nan Jing Jing pouted her lips as she walks, but the direction she is heading is towards the Myriad Ingredient Pavilion.

Long Feng followed behind without a word, but the explanations regarding the pills Ranking and Category keep repeating itself within his mind and making Long Feng tries his hardest to understands. The couple soon reaches the Pavilion, and Long Feng managed to purchase a large amount of [Soul Enhancement Seed] to supports the requirements of his needs in refining the [Tiger Stripes Soul Pill]. He purchases a good amount of [Seven Needle Flower] as well, and in total, spends around 650,000 Spirit Bronze Coins.

Although this amount of money used is enormous at the moment, but Nan Jing Jing knows her husband ability the most. Only from the 50 Pills Long Feng just gave to the Collection Officer Du Zhe, already worth at least 500,000 Spirit Bronze Coins. And Long Feng still holds 47 of them in hand. The couple walked for a short while until they reach the Bronze Pill Hall. Without requiring to speak any other words, they return to their respective direction. Nan Jing Jing towards the Tower of Knowledge, and Long Feng towards the Thousand Training Formation Cave.

Inside the once again obtained Heaven Room, but this time, Long Feng's room had been upgraded from previous Refinement Tier into an Adept Tier Heaven Room. Within the room, even stronger Essence Energy and YinYang Essence could be felt within the room. Only by being here could assist in tempering one's cultivation, even when Refining Pills. But Long Feng chose to refine the [Blood Refinement Pellet] instead for this period of time, to further his understanding on the Pills.

Just like this, a total of 65 hours, had been all used in refining a total of 780 portions of ingredients. Add in a total of around 5 hours for resting and recuperating, Long Feng completely finish all his ingredients for Blood Refinement Pellets, obtaining the results of 4680 pills. Under the strong influential assistance from the surrounding YinYang Essence and Energy Essence, Long Feng's Pill Refining results actually soared from 50% of Middle and Upper-Rank Pills, into more variable possibilities.

Among the 4680 Pills he refined, 4400 of them are in Middle-Rank and Upper-Rank, and the remaining 280 Pills actually is in their Master-Rank Pills! Even the most inexperienced Pill Masters will know the fact that a Master-Pill contains no impurity within, so refining such pills do not create difficulties in cultivation after consumptions, this is also the reason why the Master-Rank Pills is rarely seen within the markets.

Happily stored all the Pills in his Spatial Ring, Long Feng decided to continue with his refining, this time, with the remaining twelve ingredients. Confidence aside, Long Feng newly stabilized foundation does help him in maintaining the momentum, and it slowly felts like even without putting additional efforts, Long Feng could still refine most of them in the Upper-Ranked Pills as results. He did try to see where had changed during his refining procedures but failed to notice any differences. What happened to Long Feng is due to the frequency of his refining process. Even the most unskilled Pill Master, after refining the same medicinal Pills for more than hundred times, the way of refining, the steps, the flow, is already being set in motion and proceeds without any difficulties.

But this is where the problem came in. After getting norm to one kind of refining process, the challenges of Maintaining the quality, Enhancing the quality, Further Amends the Recipe, will determine how well the Pill Masters will improve. If they failed in this, then it would be over to the Pill Master's future, because of the lacking on the enlightenment of Pill Dao. This is also because [Too much of one thing is not good for another] mentality is lacking in the Pill Masters, so in order to achieve enlightenment in the Pill Dao, the Pill Masters might need to spend double the time to fully understands the meaning within Pill Dao.

Although Long Feng still failed to obtain any enlightenment from the Pill Dao this time, his achievement is still not an embarrassment after the results of the 100 portions of the ingredients actually yield him a total of 452 Upper-Rank Pills and 48 Mystery-Rank Pills. With this 40 hours is used in refining the whole 100 portion batch of ingredients, Long Feng decided that he only have the Refining Pellet's ingredients from his Eldest Brother Wang Ping and some remaining Thunder Spirit Pill's ingredients.

He has some urges to starts the Refining Pellets batch but hesitates as he won't be meeting his Eldest Brother anytime soon, plus he will be at Thunderburst Jade City soon, Long Feng decides on refining the remaining ingredients for Thunder Spirit Pill. The refining for this type of pill is going smoothly as well, without any obstacle along his way. But without getting a new type of ingredients to further enhance the performance of the concoctions, Long Feng only managed to make sure the Pills he refined is divided nicely between each rank.

35 hours later, after sufficient rest, Long Feng completed the refining process for the 390 portions of ingredients, with a result of 3500 Pills, divided to 1000 Lower-Rank, 1200 Middle-Rank, and 1300 Upper-Rank. He still yet to obtained any master-rank for the Thunder Spirit Pills, but for now, it is good enough for Long Feng to split half of the results with Lang Ya later. When Long Feng checked with the time he already spent within the Cave, about 11 more days is still remaining before the auction starts. If he allocates some time for him to depart from Clear Jade City to the Thunderburst Jade City, around 3 to 4 days is required if his traveling speed is fast enough. With this concern in his mind, Long Feng tried to calculate his time arrangement efficiently. But again, Nan Jing Jing's voice could be heard again from the ring.

"Husband, we are going to depart in Seven days!" she said. "Five days? How do you know that I..." Long Feng felt weird and questions her about the time arrangement. Nan Jing Jing chuckle as she hears Long Feng's words. "Silly husband, I know you are busy refining Pills and Cultivating, so I already prepared all the required provisions, transports, and other stuff important for our trip." Nan Jing Jing replied. "Oh...you're amazing, my wife. I was still wondering how to get ready with all this." Long Feng failed to find any words to use. Exactly on this moment, Long Feng understands the meaning of [Each Successful Man always have a more Successful Wife Behind]. He started to felt grateful when a lady as smart as Nan Jing Jing is his wife, and not his enemies.

"Wife, I am so stupid, so why would you fall in love with me so much? Sometimes I just felt not worth this at all." Long Feng says. After all, in the term of wealth, power, skills, mind, background, and looks, Long Feng is nowhere superior in any aspects. All he is better than others is he is more stubborn, hardworking, persistent, filial and dumb. Nan Jing Jing hears the question, take a long breath, and exhale it out, then... "You are a total idiot am I correct? How many cultivators in this Brilliant Jade Kingdom that possess Sky Elemental Affinity in excellent level? With a skill of reaching Adept Cultivation stage in barely three months, succeeding Xuan Wu Sword Sect's legacy, fought against an Adept Beast in your refinement tier cultivation, having a mother that is also the sister of my mother, save my lives once and also Dumber than anyone else in this world?" Nan Jing Jing shot out the answer at once, and keep quiet. "I see you after few days, don't disturb me, I am on the verge of breaking through into Late Human Adept Tier," she says, and get quiet.

"Wife, there is some upper-rank pills within the Spatial Storage, make sure to remember using it when you need!" Long Feng quickly inform her but getting no answers in return. So he could only wait for a while, and begin with his remaining refining task with the Internal Flame Pill's ingredients remains within his Spatial Storage. "Five Days later, which means, the trip over to the city will take around four days to reach. I should get ready for now, and prepare some of the ingredients that are important for me. Since I am in Adept Tier now, this basic Medicinal Pills will slowly fail to enhance my Pill Refining skills anymore." Long Feng noticed the differences when he was still refining the usual tempering pills or cultivation pills, his enlightenment does not come close anymore.

Since he was an Adept Tier cultivator by now, He is already at the stage where he could refine and revise other's recipe or creates an own recipe to refine specific pills and name them depending on their usage, rarity, and specialty. This also means that Long Feng will slowly enter the circles of Professional Pill Refining Masters, and starts to meet more different Pill Masters in different professions.
