Gu Ruoyun gently raised her eyebrow and her eyes filled with smiles, "Say it, why have you summoned me?"
"This..." The Honorable Sir Tianqi felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head as he looked at Gu Ruoyun before asking cautiously, "I've heard that you operate a medicine shop called the Hundred Herb Hall? I've also heard that your medicine shop is selling some ten-year longevity pills and beautifying skin renewing pills?"
Gu Ruoyun smiled gently, "That's right. I wonder if you want beauty or to extend your lifespan?"
Beauty?
The Honorable Sir Tianqi's mouth twitched, "Little girl, do you still remember the pill formula I had obtained from the Elder of the Immortal Realm back during the Divine Trials? It's like this, I've recently handed the pill formula over to my higher-up. My higher-up has given each elder a task — whoever manages to refine the pill from this pill formula shall be promoted as the number one elder in the Spirit Sect. To become the number one elder in the Spirit Sect means that this individual would have no one above him but our Leader. Even the other elders must listen to his orders. Therefore, how could I not ask you for your help?"
Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Let me have a look at that pill formula first."
"Alright."
Seeing how Gu Ruoyun had agreed to his request, the Honorable Sir Tianqi's eyes sparkled. He anxiously pulled Gu Ruoyun into the laboratory.
"Little girl, come have a look. How should we refine this pill? I've clearly followed its instructions so why was I unsuccessful?"
Gu Ruoyun did not respond as she allowed the Honorable Sir Tianqi to pull her into the room. Once she had entered the laboratory, the old man began grumbling incessantly and chased every disciple out of the laboratory.
This bunch of good-for-nothings. It has almost been a year since they've started the research with me and yet they have not been of any help at all. It seems that I can only rely on this girl now.
"Is this the pill formula?" Gu Ruoyun picked up the pill formula on the table, took a look at it and mentally analyzed the entire thing, "This is the most basic stage of pill formulas. It's not much of a problem, I can help you refine this."
The Honorable Sir Tianqi's breathing tensed once he heard this. He stared with excitement and nervousness at Gu Ruoyun.
"Little girl, you mean that you really can refine pills?"
The sale of pills at the Hundred Herb Hall had caused such a huge sensation but why had the Three Great Authorities not made their move?
The reason was simple!
To the Three Great Authorities, only medicines that contain spiritual energy can be considered as pills! As the Beauty Rejuvenation Pill and the Longevity Pill do not contain any spiritual energy, they considered them as average medicines and not really as actual pills.
They had never seen Gu Ruoyun refine pills either and neither do they have any knowledge about pills. Therefore, they had no way of knowing that pills were divided into different categories!
However, this was the opinion of others. The Honorable Sir Tianqi had personally witnessed Gu Ruoyun gift Lan Yuge with pills during Lan Yuge's birthday celebration. Those pills have allowed Lan Yuge to immediately break through to become a high-level Martial Emperor.
How powerful that pill must be to allow a breakthrough even in the rank of a Martial Emperor! However, the Honorable Sir Tianqi had asked in such a way because he was not sure if Gu Ruoyun had personally refined the pills in her hands or if she had obtained them from somewhere else!
So, now that he knows of Gu Ruoyun's ability in pill refinement, the shock in his heart was full blown!
"Mmm."
Gu Ruoyun nodded and replied calmly, "I can refine this. Give the pill formula to me and I'll refine a string of pills for you."
