Chapter 285: A Fortune Of Pills

Lin Mu looked at the two of them, who were in a state that was a mixture of excitement, shock, amazement, and utter awe. It was obvious that whatever Senior Xukong had given them was enough to shake their world forever.

"I need to consolidate this…" Jing Wei muttered suddenly.

He then looked at Lin Mu and thought for a moment before speaking.

"I need to go into seclusion and fully comprehend the knowledge that was just given. I believe Duan Ke needs to do the same. The effects will be the best if we do it right away, thus before we go is there something you need, anything?" Jing Wei asked with fervor.

The reward that he had obtained was probably a hundred times more valuable than what he had provided Lin Mu with. It didn't matter to him if he even had to give away the courtyard itself, he had so much new knowledge that he would be able to refine a better one, all on his own.

Lin Mu didn't even have to think before asking, "I want more basic qi pills."

"Duan Ke, take him to the pill repository, give him any and all the pills that he wants. You know what this is worth…" Jing Wei immediately turned and said to Duan Ke.

~Gulp~

Duan Ke silently gulped before nodding and gesturing to Lin Mu to follow. Meanwhile, Jing Wei increased his pace of fixing the damage to the formations. Lin Mu followed behind Duan Ke and was guided to the same place where he had received the pills before.

The doors of the pill repository opened automatically and Duan Ke immediately waved her hands, summoning a large number of pill containers. There were so many that there was no space on the tables that were kept there and most of the larger containers had to be kept on the ground.

The ones that were kept on the table were the more important and valuable pills and also the eons with the smaller bottles or vials. 

Duan Ke walked to the table and pointed with her hands towards the boxes that were kept on the ground.

"These are all basic qi pills that we have, there should be about a million low grade Basic qi pills, five thousand mid tier basic qi pills, hundred and fifty high grade basic qi pills and three peak grade basic qi pills." Duan Ke stated.

Lin Mu's jaw almost fell in shock, but he was able to control it at the last moment. He had certainly not expected that there would be so many basic qi pills that would be present here. Last time he had barely gotten two thousand basic qi pills that were of low grade, but now there were a million of them.

Not only that, but the higher grade versions were also here, some of which he could not even use currently at his cultivation base. The most he would be able to use was the mid grade pills as the high grade and peak grade ones were not intended for qi refining realm cultivators and would only end up harming them instead.

Seeing that Lin Mu had gotten an idea of the number of pills, Duan Ke shifted her hand over to the other pills on the table. 

"These are the toxin cleansing pills they are similarly of low, mid, high grade. There are 1500 low grade ones, fifty mid grade ones, and one high grade one. As for the peak grade toxin cleansing pills, we do not have them." Duan Ke answered.

"Why are there no peak grade ones, though?" Lin Mu curiously answered.

"Removing pill toxins from a cultivator's body gets more difficult the higher their cultivation base gets. You should know the grades how they are intended for different cultivation realms, right? That's the reason. It is simply too difficult to make a toxin cleansing pill that can work on even Dao treading realm cultivators.

There aren't many alchemists that can make them in the empire either. According to what I know there are only three alchemists of that level in the entire great Zhou empire, with one belonging to the emperor's court, one being the supreme elder of the Rainbow pill sect and the third alchemist is one of the head elders of Sky precepts sect." Duan Ke explained.

If it was before, Duan Ke would have never had given such a detailed explanation and would have only told him the most basic of information. But now that Lin Mu or rather his master had given them such a huge reward, this was the least she could do.

Duan Ke knew that if Lin Mu were to offer the knowledge to any of the sects or even the empire, he would immediately ascend to their top ranks and would be taken care of. It was their fortune that they were able to meet Lin Mu.

Duan Ke then went on to tell Lin Mu about the rest of the pills that were present on the desk. There were a lot of healing pills of different qualities, and pills that were just useful in general. Overall, Lin Mu ended up receiving over fifty types of different kinds of pills.

He was a bit overwhelmed by them and thus had difficulty remembering their names, effects, when not to take them, and all those conditions. But Duan Ke was helpful and made him a list. The list was conveniently put in the communication jade that he previously got from Jing Wei, thus Lin Mu didn't have much problem.

"Seems like I'll be going into seclusion again and you two will be as well." Lin Mu lightly joked.

"Hmm," Duan Ke hummed in response, clearly thinking about the things that were newly added to her mind.

Jing Wei wasn't the only one who was impatient about getting to comprehend the knowledge, Duan Ke was too.

Lin Mu thus took this cue and bid her farewell before leaving the pill repository and after that the mansion. He looked up at the sky and saw that the tear in the barrier was already repairing, although very slowly.
