Fallen Devil: The Resurrection of the God of Death

Intention to Make Pills

The Qi realm pill had a simple ingredient, requiring only Astragalus root and also Lingzhi mushroom. It is simple, but all are rare plants that are difficult to find if relying on a day in the forest. So he chose to take it and return to his inn.

It was only the next day, that he exited the inn and moved to the nearest market to look for these materials. Yes rather than he having to waste energy to find all those materials in the forest, it was better for him to look for those materials in a market. No matter the item was as expensive as anything, he could buy it.

Out without the mask given by prince Han Tan, this time he was in a market that was around the area of the royal palace of Qianting city led by the Qian family. Moreover, he hid his cultivation aura so that no one would know that he was a cultivator.

But instead, he wore a black robe that covered his head and part of his face. This he did to prevent the followers of Prince Han Tan did not know him. The thing was, there were some of the followers of prince Han Tan who had already seen Lin Xuan's look.

So that if he wanders around without closing his identity, then maybe he will be suspected by a spy from Prince Yinfan. He did not want his plan to fail.

Lin Xuan was looking for the existence of an apothecary that allowed him to sell the precious items he would be looking for. And in the end, after a few minutes he found a secluded shop house in the corner of the market.

“Ah, welcome to our herbal store sir. What are you looking for?” Asked a shopkeeper who looked a little fat and looked like a middle-aged man.

Lin Xuan then handed him a paper inscribed with a recipe for making Qi Realm pills. “Masing-each two pieces, take it out first I will see the quality.”

“I-this, all are rare plants. But take it easy sir, we have these two plants.”

Moments later, the man pulled out four boxes. Where when everything is opened, shows two brown roots without fibers that are thick enough. It is likely to have thick thumbs and long half arms.

Lin Xuan looked at it closely and looked at the quality of the roots. He was indeed not an expert, but at least he had a bit of a strong instinct.

Assuming that the quality of these two roots was fine, he switched to the other box. Which when opened shows Lingzhi mushrooms, each of which has a brownish red color.

“By the way, where can I find a skilled alchemist?” Asked Lin Xuan.

“Master can go to the alchemy tower in the South. There was a place where alchemy masters trained skilled alchemists throughout the empire. Unfortunately to make one pill, requires a fairly expensive price.”

“No matter.” Said Lin Xuan. “Dan, how much are all these items priced?”  Ask.

“This is a rare plant and it is quite expensive. But for master, I will give you the price of only 200 gold coins.”

Lin Xuan then placed 200 gold coins on the shop table. Then he brought all his belongings to head towards the alchemy tower which he said was filled with skilled alchemists. But at least he was convinced, to concoct this pill required an alchemy master himself.

.........

Lin Xuan was standing before the towering gate of the alchemy tower. The magnificent building was made of rare stones that were beautifully sculpted, giving an impression of undeniable elegance and strength. The huge gate was decorated with intricate carvings of alchemical symbols, reflecting the wisdom and knowledge contained within.

However, when he tried to enter the gate, a guard prevented him.

"Stop! Only registered alchemists are allowed inside the Alchemy Tower," the guard said in a stern voice.

He had forgotten that places like this were some kind of sect and clan that would not allow anyone to enter without permission. This prevents an attack from within, or perhaps a tacit theft.

Even if one wanted to concoct pills though, he would have to do quite a complicated permit. Indeed that was the reality, and Lin Xuan couldn't dodge or perhaps do as casually as to be violent just because Lin Xuan had quite a high cultivation.

“I'm sorry senior, but I came here to make a pill. I want to meet with the Alchemy master.”

“Funny, come in even if you're not necessarily allowed. And you easily talked to the alchemy master who was an eight-star Alchemist? You're dealing with me who is a two-star alchemist and a two-star Nascent Soul cultivator alone wouldn't be able to.” The guard said he was bragging.

Lin Xuan looked at him cynically, he directly touched the person's shoulder with sharp eyes.

The guard of that person felt that Lin Xuan's hand was really quite heavy. He also instantly trembled as he suddenly looked at Lin Xuan who was as if giving off an extremely intimidating aura. Though, he felt that Lin Xuan wasn't a cultivator in his eyes.

“Berhent! Who allowed you to incite riots in my alchemy tower?”

An old man carrying a staff, he flew over and walked over to Lin Xuan who was emitting a quite powerful aura. On the other hand, he found it strange that the cultivation aura of the young man was so powerful, which made him also have to give off an aura of intimidation of his own.

Lin Xuan held his aura back. So does the man. As for the trembling guard, he remained kneeling in front of the old man in fear. “Honor to the Alchemy master. I'm sorry master Shi Ji Ming, this is just a small matter.”

“Honor to the alchemy master. But I came here because I wanted to make a Qi Realm pill. And I've brought all the ingredients.” Said Lin Xuan in a polite tone.

Shi Ji Ming looked at Lin Xuan with confidence. Even he had a chance to frown and stare that Lin Xuan wasn't an ordinary brat. So he said, “Follow me, because no one can make Qi Realm pills other than me here.”

...................

“You want to make a Qi Realm pill? It was actually easy for me, but since you were dealing with an alchemy master, would you dare to pay such a high price? I am an eight-star alchemist and the highest.” Shi Ji Ming said with a serious look.

“With what do I need to pay for it? Gold or platinum? Or maybe a legend crystal?” Asked Lin Xuan with a quite serious gaze.

“Hahaha, don't say nonsense like ...”

Not yet Shi Ji Ming spoke, Lin Xuan lined up gold, platinum and also light blue legend crystals in rows. Shi Ji Ming who saw it, he was quite astonished and felt extremely astonished by what Lin Xuan had just put out.

Even as he stared at Lin Xuan's face which slightly raised the tip of his lips, making Shi Ji Ming feel that Lin Xuan was no ordinary person. He was an eight-star Dao Fusion cultivator. With that legend crystal, he should have been able to enter the nine-star Dao Fusion realm quite easily.

“I want ...”

“Not so sir, the legend crystal exceeds the rare type spiritual beast crystal. There's no way I'm giving it to you. But if it's platinum or gold, I can give it to you.”
