The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
15. Chapter 15: The Completion of the Pill (6)

As he was deep in thought, Shopkeeper Zhao entered the room, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand. Elder Yu felt a hint of hesitation as he stared at the pitch-black liquid. But in the end, he lifted his head and poured it into his mouth.

A slowing cold sensation flowed down his throat, giving him an indescribable feeling of comfort. It was as if his mouth was completely filled with the scent of chrysanthemum flowers, gently lubricating his throat..

Minutes and seconds keep rolling...

Elder Yu could feel his throat making a gradual yet clear recovery. He could already feel the moisture on the wall of his throat - a sensation he had never felt since the injury ..

"Little girl, this medicine is too magical. This old man admitted his defeat!" Elder Yu clicked his lips and praised happily, "May I ask, who taught you such great medical skills?"

"My master prefers to live in anonymity, I can't just reveal his name."

Because even if I told you his name, you wouldn't recognize him. He thought, "The old man is not even from the Western Spirit Mainland. But I wonder what suffering my Master must endure, having received the news of my death..."

"Oh," Elder Yu sighed, "Little girl, I admit my defeat in our bet. The Hundred Herb Hall is now yours. And I, am your humble slave!"

This time, he sincerely accepted his defeat without complaining.

"alright. However, I do not wish to enslave you. I only ask that you help take care of the Hundred Herb Hall as my successor, Elder Yu. For now, I will not reveal myself to the world. I'll leave it to you to arrange day-to-day affairs. There is also no need for anyone to know my status as the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall. A tall tree draws the wind. I don't want to attract attention so quickly."

Gu Ruoyun nodded in satisfaction. He did not expect to collect such a huge windfall after getting out of the house. With a big business like the hall of the Hundred Herbs in his palm, he would no longer have to worry about herbs. The path to his prowess would be much smoother from now on.

At that time, Gu Ruoyun was unaware of this but the Hundred Herb Hall would play an important role in her path to greatness. It would also be with her every step of her time as a weak little girl, becoming a strong and strong woman as she slowly entered the peak of greatness on the mainland ...

In the great hall of the Ling Family residence, Ling Yi was furious. He glared resentfully at the luxurious dressed lady before him.

"Ling Yu, you really did it this time! Sigh!"

Ling Yu's mouth twitched, and replied nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a small medicinal shop? What's problem? My aunt is an imperial concubine. Grandfather, you must send your men and make them trample the Hundred Herb Hall at once. . To be honest, the Crown Prince's birthday celebration is only a few days away. I have to meet the Crown Prince, and I still have this ugly scar!"

"Only a small drug store?"

The peng!

Ling Yi curled up to his chair, with a bitter and impatient smile on his face, "The Hundred Herb Hall might be a medicinal shop, but even the Emperor himself did not dare to touch it. But you dare to say such words? Tomorrow, you will come with me to the Hundred Herb Hall and apologize. Otherwise, not even your concubine aunt can save you!"

Ling Yu was speechless, This is just an ordinary merchant shop. Why should grandfather feel so scared? Even my Imperial Uncle, the Emperor does not dare to touch the hall of the Hundred Potions? How did this happen?

But Ling Yu knew that his grandfather was still angry, so he did not dare to say a word. After all, in the entire Ling household, the only person she feared the most was the head of the family - her grandfather ..

"Zixie, I have gathered the herbs necessary to purify the Qi Collection Pill. When are you going to start my pill refining lessons?"

In the Ancient Divine Pagoda, Gu Ruoyun stood on a medicinal cauldron and placed the medicinal herbs of the Hundred Herb Hall before her. He then turned his head to face the man next to him.

"Good."

Gu Ruoyun lightly nodded her head. At that moment, saying that he didn't feel excited was a lie. After all, this was the art of refining pills that had long since disappeared ...

"In the art of refining pills, girl, you must follow the exact steps of the pill formula accurately and place the herbs into the cauldron in the correct order. If the order is wrong, the pill refining process will fail. Once you have the power stabilized, you can try to create a new pill based on the efficacy of herbs. Of course, this probably won't happen until you have several years of experience, "Zixie explained with a smile in her eyes," Actually, refining pills isn't too difficult. Unfortunately, I am not human. So I can't purify the pills. Now, you can try practicing for a while. You should not make mistakes, be it the task of watching the fire or the correct order of herbs - everything should be done with total accuracy. One wrong move and the pill would be destroyed! Never forget that."

Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun's expression became solemn.

He took a deep breath, his dark eyes sparkling with determination ...

"Pil, if I have the legendary items I have in my past, maybe I can change my younger brother's inability to cultivate. And that man would not ruthlessly abandon the only son of the Xia Family! If... If my little brother is reborn into this world like me, I will definitely change his life!"

The pill has always been considered very powerful. If he had been a pill expert in his previous life, his younger brother would have never experienced such a tragic death.

Dear...

The shadow of the boy, lying in a pool of blood appeared in his mind. Gu Ruoyun's heart throbbed with grief, but it was soon replaced by a burst of strong determination.

"Yu'er, if you're alive, your sister will find you. If you really leave... Then I will live for you. I will live to avenge our mother! This is also your last wish so don't worry. Wait for me to get my strength, then we will return to the Eastern Peak Lands, and make that person pay the price of blood, with blood! I won't rest until he falls into an eternal curse pit!"

Zixie observed the hatred on the beautiful face of the young girl. Her lips gently curled into an angle.

Hatred, he mused, can give a person speed in growth. I really look forward to the day when he grows fully in power ...

Maybe I don't have to wait too long.

....

A flame lit up illuminated the entire room. The young girl focused her gaze on the pill cauldron, and slowly laid the medicinal herbs inside. Then, as he placed the potion inside, a loud explosion was heard and followed by a ringing sound that sounded from within the cauldron. Suddenly, a puff of ash-smoke came out from within, covering the girl's face with a layer of ash.

Zixie glanced at Gu Ruoyun and shook her head, "Pill refining is a very sacred profession, little girl. When refining pills, you should not have any disturbances. One strand of loose thinking is enough to make you lose control."

"I understand. Let's do it again!"

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and took out the herbs again...

Due to the fact that Gu Ruoyun's presence was most easily ignored in the entire Gu household, she did not see the problem disappear casually for three days and three nights. After all, in the past, even if he disappeared for a month, no one would come looking for him.

However, this time, the entire Gu Family was in an uproar...
