Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 017 - Not Fair

The next few days Yao Han spent most of his time concocting the medicinal powder and his success shocked Meirong and Yutian.

He had failed ten times before finally managing to make his first medicinal powder. Compounding the next drug seasoning also had some failure, but the longer the reduced failure rate.

Learning from experience, Yao Han always repeated as many as ten tries for the manufacture of each medicinal powder. This he did to suppress the number of failures, so in a relatively short time he had already managed to concoct more than half of the prescription list of medicinal powders that Feng Xian had given.

Yutian also did not miss, he guided Yao Han to be able to concoct light poison powder along with the antidote. Thanks to the previous experience, Yao Han again succeeded and memorized the step of making medicinal powder and poison out of his head.

Yao Han planned that in less than two months, he should be able to memorize the process and make a new concoction of the medicinal powder, as well as the poison powder and the antidote.

"He had just begun to deepen in alchemy not until one year and now he had already established himself as a person worthy of the title of Bronze Alchemist..."

Feng Xian who was observing from a distance while painting could only shake his head in astonishment.

"Although I'm not his Alchemy teacher, but still..." Feng Xian slightly complained as his focus was interrupted seeing Yao Han's achievements surpassing his expectations.

At recess, Yao Han usually meditated or listened to Meirong and Yutian's stories regarding the world of cultivators more. He was interested in the concept of money in the world of cultivators.

"Bronze, silver, and gold coins were precious to ordinary humans, but to cultivators it was nothing more than weeds growing in the grounds..."

World cultivators agreed to use a unique crystal round stone containing Qi, which was referred to as spirit stone. Divided into four quality classes, namely low, medium, high, and super.

To know the type of spirit stone based on its quality was very easy as it had different colors and sizes, so the mention of spirit stones was easier to mention with its color, that is, the lowest yellow spirit stone, then a blue spirit stone, then a red spirit stone, and the best one was a purple spirit stone.

Meirong took out one yellow and blue spirit stone each. He asked Feng Xian to help show him the red and purple spirit stones, because for unknown reasons, neither he nor Yutian could take out high-tier treasures, like the other two types of spirit stones.

Looking at the spirit stone in front of him, made Yao Han become even more understanding. The size of the yellow spirit stone was the smallest and its Qi content was also the smallest, while the size and Qi content of the purple spirit stone was the largest. The size of the spirit stone is one to three to six to nine.

"Higher quality spirit stones could be exchanged for lower quality spirit stones, but not the other way around. Only a few cultivators might be acting lax about this..."

One purple spirit stone was equal to one hundred red spirit stones, or equal to ten thousand blue spirit stones, or equivalent to one million yellow spirit stones.

"Hm.the comparison is similar to coins. What spirit stones can be exchanged for metal coins?"

"Yes, it can, but it is quite difficult because any cultivator values spirit stones more than even gold coins."

Even if one were willing to do so, one yellow spirit stone was valued at around thirty to fifty gold coins.

"Well, it's expensive..." Yao Han stroked his chin. He took out the purple spirit stone and observed it for a moment, sensing the huge Qi radiance from the thing.

"Spirit stones contain Qi... That means it can be used as a source of Qi to raise the practice as well, right?"

"No, you're right. However, no madman would be willing to do so, unless you have as much spirit stones as foam in the ocean. Although I have many purple spirit stones, but never use them as a source of Qi," Feng Xian said.

Yutian said red and purple spirit stones were common in large sects. While the most high middle sects only had blue spirit stones, and the small sects obviously only had yellow spirit stones.

"How can a sect be said to be big or small, Master?"

Sectional classifications are divided based on the number of stars embedded in the sect. The number of stars was affected by the number of cultivators of a certain practice realm that a sect possessed.

One to three-star sects were small sects, four to six-star sects were medium-sized sects, and seven to ten-star sects were large sects.

"Over the last year there have only been nine ten-star sects and all of them are the origin sects of the heroes I have told you about. Three of the four Kings were from the nine-star sect which was slightly up in level to become a ten-star sect."

The Meirong and Yutian origin sects were among the nine largest sects at the moment and included the oldest sect cultivators standing in the Blue Moon Continent.

Yao Han pondered for a moment while stroking his chin, "I'm a little curious...is staying in the sect fun?"

"The answer depends on who you ask and the condition of the sect that is occupied" Yutian said.

Overall, living in a white and neutral flow sect was safer and quite pleasant, while in a black flow sect, life could hardly be quiet because lives could be threatened at any time.

"For some people, living in a large sect and occupying a high position is good, but for me it is quite troublesome because I am forced to become an important official of the sect, namely the Great Elder..."

"On trouble. I agree with Yutian, '" said Meirong.

The position of the Meirong sect originally was quite complicated to understand, because the structure of the stewardship of the sect was different from other sects.

In general, the sect is divided into two members, namely administrators and disciples. The stewards were elders with everything to do, including the Sect Chief and the Great Elder. The main manager of a large sect usually had a special position or position.

While students are those who are still 'learning', usually under the age of thirty years. Divided into Outer Pupils, Inner Pupils, and Core Pupils. This division not only indicates the status of the student, but also affects the distribution of resources.

Generally in the white and neutral sect, there was the term Disciple Dewan or Main Disciple, which was Core Disciple who learned the best techniques and got the most abundant resources.

"Hm..." Yao Han had gotten a bit of an image of a sect cultivator, but he was confused by the sect's membership, "If it was indeed his goal of attaining immortality, why in the sect should there be a division of disciples? Isn't this unfair because resources aren't evenly divided?"

Meirong and Yutian could not answer directly, while Feng Xian laughed loudly.
