Chapter 11: Flesh Mending Pill (1)

"Young master, good morning!" Lu Qing Yun came over to the foggy private garden belonged to Qin Lan. A few days have actually passed from the day Qin Lan found the Foul Essence Silver Ink.

"En. Take your valuable time to cultivate first. We'll talk about it later." Qin Lan said as he continues with his own practice over a piece of paper on the table.

The foggy private garden grew clearer as time passed. That's because Qin Lan's breathing technique was getting smoother than before, therefore allowing him to inhale more air than before into his spiritual container body.

But as his cultivation continues to grow, the amount of pure spiritual energy he needed also rises. Qin Lan estimates that without a thousand to two thousand Flesh Formation Pills, it would be difficult for him to advance into the third-level.

Which is why he's currently practicing his writing while he has nothing else to do.

"Young master, I've completed a cycle of the Heaven Firmament Practice." Lu Yi came forward to Qin Lan's side as he poured a cup of tea to his young master.

Qin Lan continued with his Demonic Inscription Language for a little longer until Lu Qing Yun finished her cycle of Clear Cloud Lotus Art. The trio returned to Qin Lan's room.

...

...

"Young master, are you going to refine a pill?" Lu Qing Yun asked.

"That's correct. Our master taught me something about the pills for these few nights so we can afford to pay for our own pills." Qin Lan continued with his so-called blame everything on the teacher trick.

"Of course, part of the reason is due to our family's background as a pharmaceutical business. Doing business with pills would be the best for now," he added.

"Both of you will be my assistant for today." Qin Lan patiently guides both of them through the medicinal herbs and other ingredients, such as spices and seeds.

Their attention soon moved to other accompanying material, such as types of wood, cauldrons, and techniques.

Close to an incense stick of time later, Qin Lan started.

"We're going to concoct a batch of Flesh Mending Pill first. Follow my lead and do not get panic. It will be good training for both of you as it teaches both of you to maintain a calm and steady mindset and develops your comprehension." Qin Lan said.

"Yes, third young master." both of them nodded and steeled their mentality as Qin Lan guides them throughout the process.

"Qing Yun, twenty stalks of Sweet Dragon Grasses. After that, prepare the fresh Six-Leaves Sage according to the same weight. I'll need them before the medicine cauldron reaches the required temperature."

"Lu Yi will ground the Fragrant Wood to dust along with the same weight of Gypsum Powder. Then start the fire after you're done using coal. Remember, it's mineral coal, not charcoal." Qin Lan instructed them on what to do while he prepares everything else.

The situation inside of the room immediately turns havoc as it was the first time for both Lu Yi and Lu Qing Yun. Qin Lan occasionally reminded them of what to do next. Still, at the end of their preparation, two incense sticks of time had passed.

He knows that a sect wasn't built in a day or two.

As the ancestor and also the progenitor of the Kuangshan Lu Sect, Qin Lan used a little over ten centuries to create the ideal Kuangshan Mountain Prefecture for the sake of cultivation. Disciples alone expand across twenty-five generations, which can only be achievable by a miracle.

"Listen to me very carefully." Qin Lan started to teach them how to concoct pills of lower quality. And to begin, the Flesh Mending Pill is indeed the best option compared to the trash quality Blood Clotting Pill.

Such an opinion is placed on the latter was because there was no quality control is needed. As one of the few available pills to tend injuries and wounds, the recipe for Blood Clotting Pill varied from one another. Some pharmacies might sell a much more potent version to compare with other shops, but at the end of the day, it is just a mere 10 copper coins merchandise.

Hence, there was no demand for improvement. The medication remained highly sought after, but that's because there's no other option is available for the commoners to choose from.

That is also a reason why Qin Lan chose to concoct the Flesh Mending Pill instead. First of all, it was the best introductory pill for Lu Yi and Lu Qing Yun to prepare with his guidance. And secondly, it's because of the recipe of this medicinal pill.

When the first reincarnation Qin Lan created this recipe, he was obsessed with everything that could happen in a life's karmic cycle.

By his own logic and the billions of commoner's life in Kuangshan Mountain Prefecture, Qin Lan studied the reason. Why couldn't a medicinal pill that could cure all suffering exists?

The answer he got is because there are more than one Laws that govern life. His studies gave birth to the understanding of Fate, Cycle, Karmic, Cause, and Flow.

But still stubborn with his obsession, the first reincarnation Qin Lan created this Formula he named Flesh Mending Pill to challenge the five governing laws. It was a pill, but it was the origin as well.

A recipe that neither the main nor compliment.

A recipe that neither competent nor incompetent.

"Place the ingredient into the medicinal cauldron and increase the intensity of the flames."

"Add the Fragrant Wood powder while Qing Yun stirs the concoction to its maturity. Adjust the flame temperature two times lower now."

"If you examined the concoction, you'll notice some impurities. Removes them because they'll affect the belly of the one taking the pill in the future." Qin Lan knows that there is much more for them to learn.

The remaining ingredients are added into the medicine cauldron to complete the concocting process. While at the same time, Qin Lan guided them on the step of turning them into pellets.

"Is this really what we've made?" Lu Yi had the urge to try one to see how good is the pill that took him so much effort. It was even more than what he usually does on behalf of his young master.

"My Third Young Master, although you taught us about the preparation and process, you've yet to tell us about this Flesh Mending Pill's effect." Lu Qing Yun said.

"Yes, I wanted to know what's the effect of the pill we made too," Lu Yi added.

"Well, like how it was described in its name, this medicine we made is to help us recover faster. Although there's no spiritual energy fluctuating inside the pill, that doesn't mean it can't be done."

"When all of our pill making skills are better, I'll show both of you what teacher taught me again." Qin Lan chuckled and hope that they'll be satisfied with his answer.

...

...

"Is the owner of the pharmacy is around?" a mysterious individual with an eye mask came into the Qin Family Pharmacy. His question somewhat puzzled the two guards on the door, but they did not make him waited too long.

The second elder was coincidently in the pharmacy. Hence, the mysterious individual was invited into one of the private rooms for a discussion.

This younger brother, I wonder what brings you here today?" Qin Kun, the second elder of the Qin Family, asked. And since Qin Kun's knowledge in medicine is considered a few of the best in this Fu-Rong Town, he was the best person to consult about what this mysterious individual want.

"I would like to sell some pills here and also purchase some ingredients," the mysterious individual brought out a total of ten medicinal bottles filled to the brim. There were fifty pellets within a bottle, totaling up to 500 pills.

"Please excuse me for my rudeness," Qin Kun poured the content from one of the ten bottles out to inspect their quality. But the more he looks at them, the further his puzzled expression went.

It was just a higher-quality pill similar to the Blood Clotting Pill, but twice the medicinal effectiveness. Each pellet resembles the others inside of the same bottle, presumably made from a single batch of concoction.

Then, a poison test and flavor taste are conducted before one of the pills in the examination was slapped into powder form.

"There's little to no impurities!" Qin Kun is secretly admiring the skill of this mysterious individual seated across him, seeping on the cup of tea.

"Is the ten bottles of medicinal pills here all concocted by sire? May I have the honor to ask for your name?" Qin Kun's attitude changed. He presumes that the person before him should be the pill master that made them.

"You can just address me as Pharmacist Lu." the mysterious individual answered simply. Based on how he's dressed, Qin Kun could guess why.

"What I've shown you here is called Flesh Mending Pill. It was one of the few medicinal pills that my teacher and I refined and created in our free time." the mysterious individual added.

"Flesh Mending Pill, an excellent choice of its name!" Qin Kun poured the tray of medicinal pills back into its container as he praised the Pharmacist.

"I'm looking forward to a long cooperation. Each pellet will be sold to the Qin Family Pharmacy for 10 copper coins and a set of Sweet Dragon Grass, Fragrant Wood, and Incense Flower."

"As for your selling price, I hope you can think on behalf of the commoners and sell them for a fair price." Pharmacist Lu did not forget to add his last sentence to shows how much he cares about the less privileged individuals.

"No problem, Pharmacist Lu. Our Qin Family Pharmacy is always well known for quality, value, and mutual understanding. Overcharging our clients and people that help to make this Fu-Rong Town running is not in our business policy." replied Qin Kun.

"That's great. I'll be relying on you, Pharmacist Qin."

Not too long after that, the mysterious individual left the Qin Family Pharmacy with three large rucksacks filled with raw medicinal ingredients. There's also an extra fifty pieces of silver coins in his waist pocket.

"Third Granduncle, how harmonious if your attitude was like this when you're in the family hall... Grandfather will be delighted if he sees it." Qin Lan moves like a gust of wind as he threaded across alleyways and houses until he's back to the Qin Family Manor.
