Lin Cheng immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a long skirt with a bun on her head standing at the entrance. She was coldly staring at him with an unfriendly expression.

Second Madam, Tan Yulan.

Lin Chen coldly laughed in his heart as he clasped his hands, "Greetings Second Mother, I am here to obtain my quota."

Tan Yulan said coldly, "In order to save you, the clan used a Seven Treasures Pill, which was equivalent to your quota for half a year. I didn't expect you to be so stupid as to ask for a quota."

In the face of Tan Yulan's rebuke, Lin Cheng sneered in his heart. It was fortunate that she said the Seven Treasures Pill was so precious, but it was actually only a Grade 3 pill. Moreover, he didn't know what Rank 1 pill it was.

Pills were divided into grades, and each grade had its own grade.

Even if the Medicine King were to forge a pill, impurities would inevitably appear. The lower the grade of the pill, the more impurities there were. During the process of refining a medicinal pill, a special method was used to reverse the process of refining the medicinal pill and remove the impurities within, and it was known as the 'revolution'.

Rank one pills removed the impurities from it once. This was the lowest level pill, and anything below Rank three was only an ordinary pill. Even if the pill was of a high grade, the impurities would still affect the effect after it was used.

As for the highest grade, the Nine Revolving Pill, that was already considered an immortal pill. Only cultivators who could convert their elemental energy into spiritual energy would be able to refine pills, and Lin Cheng had only heard of the legends, but had never seen one.

Before his rebirth, Lin City could refine a few Tier 6 pills by relying on his blue flames. However, what he was most adept at was refining Tier 5 pills and below.

This was also because he did not have cultivation base and was unable to control the azure fire more precisely. Otherwise, he would have had a high chance of breaking into the higher levels of alchemy.

How could Lin City not sneer when Tan Yulan was holding a mere Grade 3 Seven Treasured Pellet?

"Alright, you can go back now. From now on, don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, I will definitely punish you!" Tan Yulan said coldly as she saw that Lin Cheng was silent. She could not help but look at him in disgust.

"Since the Seven Treasures Pill is able to match the medicinal pill quota for half a year, then I'll use the quota of half a year to exchange for a few medicinal materials." Lin Cheng suddenly said.

"What?" Tan Yulan was stunned.

Lin Cheng said, "My body hasn't fully recovered yet and I need some medicinal pills to heal my injuries. But I know how precious these medicinal pills are, so I only want a few medicinal plants to use my quota for the next six months."

Tan Yulan frowned, "You want to swallow the ingredients directly? It was simply nonsense! Since you haven't learned how to forge pills and you aren't a physician, wouldn't it be a waste to give you the medicinal herbs? "

Lin Cheng said, "Since Second Mother is unwilling, I can only go find father. I think he shouldn't hope that I can recover from my injuries!"

"How dare you!"

Tan Yulan reprimanded him harshly, "I am doing this for your own good. You dare to threaten me with the head of the family?!"

Lin Cheng sneered in his heart. Yiran was not afraid as she looked into her eyes.

"Good!" Since that's the case, I'll give you the medicinal ingredients. " Tan Yulan said coldly, "However, since you are injured, you cannot contribute to the family. You will only waste the ingredients, so you need to use the quota of two years to exchange! Furthermore, you can only choose three kinds of ordinary medicinal herbs! "

Lin Cheng laughed coldly in his heart, this was indeed vicious. He was already sixteen years old, and in two years he would reach adulthood. He would no longer be given the medicinal pills provided by his family, so this woman was obviously going to cut off his cultivation path.

If it was the original Lin Yu, Tan Yulan would have definitely grabbed hold of him. But the current master of his body was the Medicine King of Lin City, so even though he had seen through Tan Yulan's evil intentions, he nodded in agreement.

"No problem!" A two-year quota for three types of medicinal herbs! " Lin Cheng said.

"..." "Humph!"

Tan Yulan didn't expect Lin City to agree. She couldn't go back on her words even if she wanted to in front of all these people, and was choked to death. She could only snort and turn to the medicine cabinet, "Stand in front of First Young Master Chen and accompany him to select the herbs. Remember, the First Young Master doesn't have the medicinal properties, so don't let him mess around!"

Elder Chen immediately nodded his head and said, "Yes, Madam!"

Tan Yulan nodded and looked coldly at Lin Cheng. She then moved to the counter and sat down on a chair. Obviously, she would only be at ease if she saw that Lin Cheng had already selected the medicinal ingredients.

"Young Master, please." Chen Chu said.

Lin Cheng walked straight inside and arrived at the medicine warehouse. He saw rows upon rows of shelves filled with all kinds of medicine ingredients. He couldn't help but shake his head at the lack of protection from the outside.

This was a waste!

Once the herbs were dug out from the ground, they would begin to lose medicinal properties. Only by storing the herbs with a piece of jade would the medicinal properties be maintained. However, the smell of all sorts of herbs filled the room, causing the amount of medicinal properties to be lost.

It seemed like even though the Lin Family was an extremely powerful family in Tian Luo City, they were far inferior in terms of pill refining!

However, I suppose it makes sense. Although everyone can refine pills, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens to refine pills. Not only do you need to know the pill formula, the refining method, the top-notch flame, the meticulous technique, and even the experience, you cannot refine pills without reaching a certain level of mastery in any of the stages.

From this, it seemed like the Lin Clan's apothecaries were at most grade-3.

However, Lin City was only thinking about it. He knew that his ability to obtain these three types of medicinal herbs was already his limit. Whether or not the medicinal herbs lost their potency in the future had nothing to do with him.

"Hmm?"

Lin City suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze fell onto a medicinal plant half the height of a man on the wooden shelf. He didn't expect to see Star Orchid Grass here!

"First Young Master, do you want to choose this one?"

Lin Cheng nodded his head, "That's right!"

With some difficulty, he reached out for the Star Orchid Grass, took off his outer robe, and wrapped it around his waist. Then, he continued to walk forward.

Cupboard Chen was slightly stunned, after which his eyes flashed a look of ridicule. Starlight Grass was poisonous and only used when refining poisons. The eldest young master really did not have any medicinal properties. It seemed like he had been forced into a corner by Second Madam Ye.

If Lin Yu was allowed to choose two more useless medicinal plants, he would definitely be praised by the Second Madam. Just as Chen Yuan was about to open his mouth, he saw Lin Chen suddenly stop and grab another medicinal plant from the wooden shelf.

It was obviously a poisonous vine with a poison level comparable to starblue grass. Was this young master trying to heal his injuries or commit suicide?

It was a good thing that the third herb that Lin City had chosen did not make Pavilion Master Chen laugh, but it made his heart ache. Lin City had selected a three-hundred-year-old treasure ginseng, but compared to the previous two poisonous plants, this treasure ginseng was nothing.

When the two men from Lin City came out of the medicine store, Tan Yulan immediately looked over. Lin Cheng noticed that Cupid Chen gave Tan Yulan an undetectable nod, and he could not help but sneer inside.

"Have you chosen?" Tan Yulan asked coldly.

Lin Cheng nodded and took the initiative to spread out the robe that contained the medicinal ingredients, "I've chosen it. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. "

Tan Yulan looked at the three herbs and her eyes flashed with a strange light. She nodded expressionlessly, "Go. Remember, you don't have any quotas for the next two years. Don't come back here again."

Lin Cheng smiled and turned to leave the Medicine Hall. Tan Yulan's face immediately turned ashen.

"This bastard actually chose two poisonous medicinal herbs, he's really courting death!" Tan Yulan looked at Lin City's retreating back and could not help but sneer.

"It's just a pity about that precious ginseng." Elder Chen said with a smile.

Tan Yulan said: "Hmph! That little bastard probably thought that he had gained an advantage … "Station Head Chen, you've done well. In two days, you'll be in charge of a shop."

"Thank you Madam!"

The Lin Clan owned a lot of businesses in the Tian Luo City and was in charge of a shop, so they were much better off compared to standing cabinets here. He knew that he had guided Lin Yu to change to two poisonous plants as a reward from his wife.

Tan Yulan stood up and left the medicine hall as well. At the same time, she said to the servant girl beside her, "Have someone keep an eye on that vile seed. Make sure those three medicinal plants are for your consumption and not for sale."

"Yes, Madam!"

"Humph!" Lin Yu, oh Lin Yu, you're really courting death, you don't even need me to do it! " Tan Yulan smiled coldly.

"Ignorant!"

When he returned to the Lin City in the small courtyard, he shook his head and sneered. "Those two fools, have they never heard of using poison to fight poison?"

As the Medicine King, he obviously knew that the two herbs he had chosen were poisonous, but the poison of the Star Orchid Grass and the Poisonous Vine were able to neutralize each other. In addition to the years of concocting precious ginseng, even if he could not refine the pills, even if he could only concoct the medicinal liquid, the effect would still be pretty good.

As far as Lin Cheng was concerned, it was far too easy for such a simple medicinal ingredient to refine a medicinal pill. The medicinal properties of the medicinal pill were something that the medicinal liquid could not compare with.

Right now, he was injured, and he had to make full use of this time to cultivate. With these three medicinal herbs, he would be able to recover completely, and he might even achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Lin Cheng didn't waste the slightest bit of time as he immediately started concocting pills.

Without a cauldron, he would use the black pot in the kitchen to replace it. Without an azure flame, he would use the most ordinary wood charcoal. He was confident that he could use this simplest method to refine a pill, because the current him possessed an advantage that he absolutely could not have before.

He had elemental energy in his body!

After the three types of herbs were washed and minced, Lin Cheng first placed the Star Orchid Grass into the wok. Immediately, the Star Orchid Grass began to melt into a paste at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He was very clear that this stench was emitted by the venom of the Star Orchid Grass, and as he quickly threw the poisonous vine in, another stench came over. But what was strange was that after the two fumes mixed together, the stench instantly disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a faint fragrance.

After he threw in the precious ginseng, Lin Cheng immediately used the remaining strand of elemental energy in his body and poured it into the medicinal liquid.

A moment later, Lin Cheng's face turned pale as beads of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Without the azure flames, he had to use his elemental energy to speed up the fusion of the medicinal herbs and remove the impurities.

After a full ten breaths of time, he suddenly retracted his hands. However, he felt his body go limp and he almost collapsed onto the ground.

At this moment, a refreshing fragrance wafted out from the pot.
