Chapter 732: Chapter 655: Auxiliary Spirit Cold Marrow Pill, Reaching Heaven in a Single Step

Chiyu Peak.

Yuanqing Courtyard.

Yang Chan hadn’t been to this courtyard in a long time, but it was still kept in perfect order.

A few maids were busy in the courtyard, tending to the plants. They were the ones Han Bingyu had selected.

Since Yang Chan had been staying at the Pill Pavilion, these maids had never met him before.

Now, the maids were all curious about what Yang Chan looked like, sneaking glances at him while they worked.

Yang Chan, of course, paid them no mind. He couldn’t be bothered.

He had returned to Chiyu Peak to wait for Peak Master Liu Xuan.

In the days before his return, he had learned from Han Bingyu’s intelligence about the Top Level Spirit Medicines Chiyu Peak had acquired from the ruins within the Demon Cave. Based on some of those ingredients, coupled with Liu Xuan’s needs, he deduced that the Peak Master likely intended to have a type of Supporting Elixir refined.

This kind of elixir was taken to supplement a Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir. It could enhance the main elixir’s Medicinal Power, reduce impurities, and help someone at the Initial Stage of Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster to advance their Cultivation more quickly.

He had a few theories, but ‘I’ll have to see Liu Xuan to know the specifics,’ he thought.

Yang Chan had looked into Supporting Elixirs before. However, the supplementary ingredients were not easy to obtain. The environment in the Profound Void Grotto Heaven wasn’t suitable for those Spirit Medicines to grow, so the materials were scarce. It was basically impossible to use them to create a stable increase in his Daily Potential Point Collection, which was why he hadn’t tried refining them.

His main priority was a stable Daily Potential Point Collection, so he naturally wouldn’t choose short-term elixirs that were time-consuming, labor-intensive, and offered only mediocre results.

However, the appearance of the ruins in the Demon Cave had revealed many special Top Level Spirit Medicines—ones that the Merak Sacred Land didn’t have. He could refine a batch of them. Although the supply wouldn’t be sustainable, it could help his Daily Potential Point Collection break through the forty-point mark sooner.

Given the choice, he would naturally focus on long-term solutions. But now, during this period where he had yet to successfully refine the Second Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, he could use other elixirs to fill the gap. Therefore, Yang Chan didn’t rule out trying to refine other types of elixirs. For him, it was even an opportunity to further increase his proficiency as a Pharmacist.

Yang Chan hadn’t been in Yuanqing Courtyard for long when Gu An arrived first. Previously, whenever Gu An had business with him, he would personally visit the Pill Pavilion. However, since Gu An hadn’t taken the Pill Master assessment and was instead focused on advancing his Martial Arts, his residence was still on Chiyu Peak.

Whenever the Merak Saintess had any important instructions, Gu An would go to the Pill Pavilion to inform him. Although there was some distance between the two locations, for an Inner Master, the journey was trivial.

“Hall Master Gu, does the Saintess have new instructions?”

Yang Chan saw Gu An and invited him into the main hall.

‘I didn’t expect Gu An to be the first one here,’ he mused. ‘I thought Peak Master Liu Xuan would be.’ This was a little different from what he had anticipated.

“Quasi-Saint Son Gongye Zhe has been making a lot of small moves lately,” Gu An said, getting straight to the point. “He’s been arranging for people to cause trouble for you!”

“For the near future, you’d better stay at the Pill Pavilion!”

“I was originally going to the Pill Pavilion to tell you this, but since you’ve come to Chiyu Peak, I’ll just tell you now!”

“Before, Gongye Zhe’s attention was completely drawn to the matter of the ruins in the Demon Cave. Now that things there have temporarily wrapped up, he’s planning to come after you!”

Gongye Zhe had planned to make a move before, but Yang Chan had resolved the situation preemptively, rendering his schemes useless. This had left Gongye Zhe extremely frustrated. Now that his hands were free, he naturally wanted to make Yang Chan’s life difficult.

“I understand. Thank you, Hall Master Gu!”

Yang Chan’s brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. ‘Just as I thought. The incident at the Spirit Medicine Tower left behind some loose ends.’ Still, if he had to do it all over again, his choice would remain the same.

‘When you choose to support one side, you can’t expect to please the other. No one likes a fence-sitter.’

On this point, Yang Chan had made the right choice. The fact that the Merak Saintess had arranged for Gu An to warn him was excellent proof of that.

Besides, within the Merak Sacred Land, especially inside the Pill Pavilion, Gongye Zhe couldn’t truly threaten his life. At most, he could cause some trouble, drain his energy, and waste his time.

After the two chatted for a short while, Gu An took his leave. Not long after, Peak Master Liu Xuan arrived at Yuanqing Courtyard.

The two of them coming one after the other seemed to suggest a strange, unspoken agreement.

“Pharmacist Yang, I’ve asked you to return to Chiyu Peak because I’d like your help refining the Auxiliary Spirit Cold Marrow Pill. We recently obtained some ingredients from the ruins in the Demon Cave, and we should have enough to refine a few batches!”

“I asked Elder Hua before, but he wasn’t confident he could succeed. That’s why I can only ask for your help, Pharmacist Yang!”

Liu Xuan got straight to the point upon arriving.

The Auxiliary Spirit Cold Marrow Pill was a Supporting Elixir. It had a supplementary effect for those at the initial stage of Bone Marrow Cleansing, as well as for those who had undergone their first one. It could enhance the effects of other elixirs and was one of the pills Yang Chan had suspected he might be asked to make.

Hearing Liu Xuan’s words, Yang Chan wasn’t surprised. Thanks to the information he had received from Han Bingyu, he had been able to roughly guess what this was about. The request was entirely within his expectations.

“If the Peak Master needs it refined, I have no problem trying. However, I have never refined the Auxiliary Spirit Cold Marrow Pill before, so I cannot offer much assurance of success!”

“Whether the Pill Formation will succeed, and if so, how many pills it will yield—these are significant unknowns!”

Yang Chan didn’t agree outright. It was normal to fail many times when refining a new pill. Although his own Pill Formation Success Rate was very high, he never let it show.
