CH 61.1

Because it was during the night, Su TingYun could not see the surroundings clearly. She only felt that she had flown for a long time. When the sky had the first glimmer of light, the flying sword decreased in flying height, evading all the trees. They entered a patch of forest.

‘We arrived?’ Su TingYun looked around everywhere, but there were no traces of a school’s existence. They said that they have arrived at the school, but not even a tiny building was to be seen.

‘This is portulaca oleracea, it can be eaten. The taste is sour, and it could reduce inflammation.’ ZhanYu chuckled while stepping onto his sword. He waved his hands and the things in his hands were given to Su TingYun. It could be considered giving Su TingYun an explanation.

‘Eat this?’ Su TingYun stared blankly at him for a moment. Soon after, she remembered XiaoBu was still at qi refinement stage, so he still needed to ingest food. But was Obliteration Sword Tower so poor to this extent? Both their newcomer and disciple needed to scavenge for wild herbs to eat.

XiaoBu was still so young. He is still at the stage where his body is developing too.

Su TingYun suddenly realised why XiaoBu was so dissatisfied towards his teacher. This was really poor to the point of being bizarre.

She continued thinking, ‘Eating wild herbs primarily would not suffice. In any case, there should be some meat. Spiritual beast could be caught with some light hunting.’

‘Although it could be done, spiritual beast meat is too greasy, even if it was from a low leveled spiritual beast. It was also easy for the body to accumulate impurities. This was not beneficial for future circulation of spiritual energy, affecting aptitude.’ ZhanYu solemnly said, ‘High leveled spiritual beasts on the contrary do not have this problem, but they are hard to chance across. Moreover, high leveled spiritual beasts could be sold for spiritual stones.’

Su TingYun understood this. Long time ago, XiaoMei’s group and her killed low leveled spiritual beast at the foot of WuLiang mountain. Only she would regularly eat roasted meat. The other two would rarely eat meat, and XiaoMei would not even come into contact with fish or meat.

Back then, what did they say to her?

Granny had taken the white jade dew pill. Eating some meat would not make a difference. In other words, eating medicinal pills would avert this problem.

Liu FeiZhou had given quite the number of pills in the jade slip. Throughout those years, she had thoroughly researched them; she had practically memorised them. Although it did not contain white jade dew pills, they have similar items that could remove impurities from the body. Liu FeiZhou stated that the item was dirt cleansing pills. Looking at the name, they seem to be a rank lower from white jade dew.

However, she did not say it. Ever since she found out that ChuLing was just a maidservant, Su TingYun felt that the white jade dew was not as impressive as she thought it would be.

‘Can’t the impurities be removed after eating pills?’ Su TingYun said. After saying that, she immediately regretted it.

ZhanYu awkwardly scratched her head, XiaoBu pursed his lips and coldly sighed.

Eating medicinal pills would help, but this school that was so poor that they could not fill their bellies could not afford them.

‘The reason is that you need to formally apprenticed to your master first, so we first need to return to the school, and then go to the training islands. In any case, others could not thoroughly understand the secret of the immortal temple, it would not be urgent even if they were late by two days.’

Not long after the flying sword flew into the sky, Su TingYun saw a wild pheasant in the distance. She used the golden thunder formula and shot it down. She asked ZhanYu to keep it, and then turned her head to XiaoBu and said, ‘I will make Mushroom pheasant stew for you when we get back.’

XiaoBu’s eyes lit up, but soon afterwards he shook his head and said, ‘I don’t eat meat.’

Su TingYun patted his shoulder and said, ‘I know how to refine pills.’

After her voice died down, the flying sword trembled. The jolt was forceful that the people on it nearly fell off it. ZhanYu’s voice quivered while he spoke, ‘Did I hear wrong, You have medicinal pills?’

‘I don’t, I said that I know how to refine pills.’ At this moment, Su TingYun spoke while holding her head up and her chest thrown out. She felt a sense of pride when her abilities had been taken a fancy to, it is especially so when they were people that she at the moment felt that they were good people. In this world, the words good or bad person were not written on their faces, but she felt that their mental state did not have any malicious intentions. If their cultivation stages were too far apart, they would capture her. Su TingYun was now at building foundation stage, and her primordial spirit could forcefully suppress golden cores. At least for now, she did not receive any animosity after revealing her knowledge of making pills.

Su TingYun only had pills that were made from the stone pill furnace in the forbidden horizon, and it had nothing to do with purging impurities from the body. The quality of her pills due to restrictions were also mediocre, so she did not take them out to let them see.

‘Then what rank of medicinal refiner would you be?’ ZhanYu’s tone suddenly became very respectful, but after saying that, he reacted and his face acted vigorous before saying: ‘What rank are you, you should let your teacher know more about it, so that i can teach you more practical things in the days to come.’

‘It should be around rank two.’ Su TingYun, who was being asked for her rank, felt weary. In the past, she could only refine rank one pills due to her lack of cultivation and would occasionally refine a rank two pill, so she would tentatively be rank two. But now, she was at building foundation stage. Once the requirements are met, she could start trying to refine higher tier pills.

She originally thought that ZhanYu and XiaoBu would be disappointed, but she did not expect them to be happy instead,’We thought you would only be a student of a pill refiner since you are just at the building foundation stage, to think that you can already refine pills.’ After saying that, ZhanYu twisted his tongue and looked straight at Su TingYun and said: ‘Since you are a pill refiner, this proves that you had already acknowledged someone as your master.’

Su TingYun repeatedly waved her hands, ‘No, no, it was a pill refiner who gave me his jade slips that contain some ordinary notes of what he had comprehended on pill forging, the rest was made by me by studying it.’

After she finished speaking, Su TingYun nervously asked, ‘Liu FeiZhou, Great master Liu FeiZhou. He could refine rank five pills ten years ago. This person, have you heard of him?’

ZhanYu and XiaoBu both shook their heads. Their Obliteration Sword Tower was so poor, they did not have any connections with any pill refiner. However ZhanYu patted Su TingYun’s shoulder, ‘This great master Liu must be a very important person to you, he treats you very well.’

‘Hng?’ Su TingYun was suddenly dazed. Liu FeiZhou saved her in the end, but on what basis could ZhanYu judge him based on that one sentence she said about him.
