Abandoned Princesses
Make Pills

Qiao Rong glanced at Liu Liwei who was now drinking tea in the courtyard of Yun Pavilion from a distance.

The man looked very relaxed while blowing his warm tea and conversing with his personal bodyguard.

Yang Qiao Rong remembered, they only had a moment to chat and evaluate their match last night at the victory banquet. Early in the morning, what was the purpose of that man visiting Yun Pavilion?

However Qiao Rong immediately headed towards Liu Liwei. Liu Liwei who saw him immediately stood up and bowed. Qiao Rong then let her sit back.

Liu Liwei. "I just want to say goodbye to Your Majesty." Unexpectedly, Liu Liwei was so forthright before him. Qiao Rong was delighted because of that, he would definitely instantly expel the man in case he had any other hidden intentions.

"Oh?" Qiao Rong displayed a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes.. I've asked the Emperor's permission to leave after this, My father is sick from a mysterious attack. So I have to go home soon." Qiao Rong furrowed his brows as soon as Liu Liwei called out the 'mysterious attack'.

"Of course you didn't expect that the attack was orchestrated by me or Huang Zhong did you?" Qiao Rong smiled. Although the man was so straightforward, Qiao Rong could feel that his intentions towards Qiao Rong were not that simple.

"Of course not. Haha." Liu Liwei laughed. "Of course not, Your Majesty. This seemed to have something to do with the three big sects. Therefore the two Emperors did not dare to act at all. So, I have to go home immediately and check who has offended any of them." Liu Liwei.

"Three great sects?" Qiao Ring was confused. Was Prime Minister Liu the one who had so dared to offend them? According to the memory Qiao Rong had, Prime Minister Liu was just a smart person who enjoyed the world too much. Shouldn't he always be careful? It's kind of weird.

"Yes. I guess His Majesty could also sense that this matter was very strange. My father was attacked just as he was about to walk into a brothel. The next day, one of our businesses went bankrupt overnight. Who else could do something like this except the three big sects?" Liu Liwei explained the strangeness he had encountered. Then he sighed, "While as far as I know there is absolutely nothing to do with the three great sects in our family."

Qiao Rong was just pondering, he was thinking about the matter. Isn't it very strange? But he just swallowed the matter roundly, after all it was the Liu Family's business, it had nothing to do with him.

"Alright, it looks like we've been talking about this for quite some time. It's time for me to leave. I have considered Your Majesty as a friend myself, please Your Majesty contact me if you need help." Liu Liwei smiled at Qiao Rong and took out a token with the inscription 'Liu' engraved on it.

Qiao Rong had just wanted to reject and return the token, but when he turned around, the person he was looking for was already gone using qinggong. Qiao Rong could only sigh, he was still hesitant to trust the man, yet willing how else. He decided to return the token when they meet again.

*****

"Sir, why give the token to him?" Liu Liwei's personal bodyguards, who had watched their conversation until the moment Liu Liwei gave the token, were perplexed.

"She's not an ordinary woman you know. It had no protective spirit, yet it had already reached such a high cultivation in three months. He still hides a lot of other things. My gut says so." Answer Liu Liwei.

The personal guard nodded slowly, and they resumed their journey.

*****

"So..what are you going to do this month?" Li Junyan who was rolling around on the bed suddenly asked Qiao Rong.

"Of course cultivate..What else can I do?" Qiao Rong replied casually while combing his hair.

"You're not interested in trying anything else? Do you want to spend your life forever cultivating?" Li Junyan played the bed bored.

Those words made Qiao Rong's hand that was combing the hair stop instantly. Those words had been overshadowing him for a long time.

"Hmm.. How about you just learn to use that furnace?" Li Junyan suggested.

Qiao Rong immediately agreed to that by nodding. Because the only thing he wasn't good at was making pills using a furnace. He did not find a suitable teacher for him, let alone in the Wuling Sect there were only two masters like that.

They immediately moved into the room of the Yin Yang Book and entered the brick house as usual. Qiao Rong had indeed longed to hold the golden furnace, it seemed to be much more valuable than the legendary techniques there.

Qiao Rong laughed looking at Li Junyan who was busy going around looking for something. With his small stature he looks very funny. Li Junyan who noticed it only looked at him with a pouting expression and handed him a piece of paper.

"This. Sky Speed Pills. Can add speed for a short time, the recipe is one of the easiest for beginners." Li Junyan explained.

Qiao Rong nodded, he immediately sat face to face with the golden furnace and read the recipe carefully.

To make a pill, there are three steps to take. The first is to combine all the ingredients in the furnace. The second, formed a layer of shells that would become the pill form itself. And lastly, at the same time the most important thing is to duplicate and polish the pill again so that the final product produced is in large quantities and high quality. However, these three processes certainly drain qi and energy because they need very high concentration. Especially for the quality of the pill itself, it can only be determined by the ability of the maker.

Qiao Rong had now started the first step in pill making. Daritadi, Li Junyan was already pacing back and forth to search for the ingredients for the Sky Speed Pill. Which was now already inside the furnace, waiting to be put together. Qiao Rong sighed and started to close his eyes. He concentrated and channeled his qi into each ingredient so that he could mix them as a whole.

Qiao Rong started to break out in cold sweat.

"Cover the entire material with qi, nothing is missed. A little gap means failure!" Li Junyan also followed and guided the girl.

Qiao Rong continued to try and try, but it was very difficult. He had trouble dividing his focus and controlling the qi on several different objects. So this was how the pill-making masters struggled, now Qiao Rong understood why people like them were so rare. Even if there were, it would definitely be greatly appreciated by the Emperors.

Qiao Rong continued to focus on his current job. But indeed the training session did not seem to go so smoothly.

On the first try, Qiao Rong failed at the first step. In the second experiment, the same thing happened.

Finally on the third trial he managed to pass the first step of pill making and could proceed to the second step. This is twice as difficult as the first step.

"Visualize the shell! What kind of pill do you want? Is it yellowish green? Or even gold? I suggest not gold, too much qi needed. In your present condition you will die of exhaustion." Li Junyan continued to babble. Even so, according to Qiao Rong the boy was a good teacher. At least his advice and criticism were very targeted.

On the fifth try, Qiao Rong managed to make the pill come into being. The Sky Speed Pill he created was round in shape and sky blue in color. Although very beautiful, but the third step is certainly not completed.

"Imagine the pill has several layers. Enter your qi and blanket the entire layer. It would be best if you could create a new layer." Li Junyan.

A few hours later....

"Congratulations." Li Junyan clapped his hands.

Qiao Rong rubbed the sweat that was on his forehead. Now is the time to be proud of yourself. He had already managed to make five pieces of Sky Speed Pills.

"Hmm. Can you see? There are two star marks on your pill, but there are also those that have one star. But since you managed to concoct a pill that had two stars, it means that now you are officially a two-tiered pill master." Li Junyan smiled at Qiao Rong.

So did the girl, and they came back soon.
