The Next morning as if nothing had happened , The Sect continued with its affairs . There was a definite hierarchy among the Elders and honestly nobody cared about the lives of such low time Elders who died at the hands of Raven last night . Of course if somebody knew that Raven had slayed some Elders , then he would receive sever punishment because the organizations like Sects cared too much about their prestige . Now that nobody would complain about anything to the Elders Court so Raven was safe .
Still Raven being the cautious one , laid low for next week and did not leave his residence. The Inner Disciples had to complete a fixed quota of missions according to Sect Rules but nobody dared to disturb Raven because he was the Son In Law of Head Inner Court Elder. It could be said that inside the Inner Court , Raven enjoyed the Status of a Prince causing senda of jealousy to sprout inside other disciples.
In this week , Raven chose to refine as many pills as he could to gain experience. Raven had many batches of various herbs inside his space ring . Some were purchased from the General Hall with sect points while others were from the space rings of the Elders he had slayed . Raven had other herbs too which he had acquired during his stay inside the forest but they were mostly low tier Spiritual Herbs which Raven did not dare to touch before he felt confident in refining Level 2 Pills.
It was proven to Raven that he possessed great talent and high grade potential for Alchemy because all the pills he refined with absolute care , were at least high ranked . If this fact was known to public then Raven would be taken as a disciple by many high level Alchemists . But Raven knew that he would have to expose his Inheritance then , so he chose to hide his talent instead of flaunting it . Raven had only refined 3 types of Level 1 pills which were -
1. Beauty Pills
2 . Tiger Bone Pill
3 . Blood replenishing pills
Beauty Pills were naturally used by ladies who were concerned about their beauty . Tiger Bone Pill had a fancy name but it was only a Level 1 pill which was used to strengthen the bones of Martial Disciple Realm cultivators a little . Raven who had experienced Blood Cleansing , did not need these pills to increase his strenght because with him advancing in realms , his body would naturally be nourished by his qi . But others did not enjoy such benifits because their qi was not much pure thus the benifits to the body were limited . So Tiger Bone Pills were in high demand in the Market .
Blood replenishing pills were medicine because by eating them one could quickly replenish the lost blood from wounds . These Pills were lifeblood of Mercenaries and Hunters who faced dangerous situations all the time . Raven refined these pills for himself because he battles hoards of beasts each time and Injuries were inevitable . Raven often chose to recklessly suffer wounds on his body deliberately to quickly behead the beasts because he felt no pain . But the loss of blood could prove fatal so Raven refined Blood Replenishing Pills a lot to have good stock .
Top Rank Pills really needed a lot of Luck so Raven only managed to refine 3 batches of Top Rank Beauty Pills , 2 Batches of Top Rank Tiger Bone Pills and 7 batches of Top Rank Blood Replenishing Pills . This number seemed huge because each batch contained at least 6 Pills . But Raven had actually used up all his ingredients and refined more than 200 batches of pills . His talent was high so after Raven only failed once or twice before completely grasping the new pill formula . So his success rate was more than 90 Percent .
....
Sam was feeling impatient right now because Raven had not left his residence since the night of killing . He actually appreciated his young Master's cautious behaviour but this time he needed Raven's help for an important matter . Sam knew that Raven had extremely high battle prowess , exceeding all other Inner Disciples . So he wanted to assign Raven a mission which would be easy for him .
This mission was extremely unpopular among the Inner Disciples because of the unique location. The Poison Garden was a very dangerous place which was filled with bottomless swamps and Posion Mist all year around. Little Sunlight could shine there due to heavy coat of Poison Mist . The only way to resist the poison was to repel the mist with qi.
So only 8th or higher Level Martial Masters were allowed to take this mission because they had larger pool of qi , so they can resist the poison mist for longer period of time .
The Poison Garden was nothing like a garden in reality because it extended for more than 100 kilometers of area and the swamps were more and more in number , the more one advances inside . Even Martial Soldier Realm Cultivators were helpless to fully cross the Poison Garden so the mission required disciples to venture only till 6 kilometers inside the Poison Garden from the entrance.
Right now Sam was feeling pressure because a Disciple had been missing since more than a week and he was last sighted inside the Poison Garden according to the information gathered . The problem is that the missing disciple is actually only grandson of a famous Core Elder and currently all the core disciples were out of the Sect for the Annual Sects Gathering . This gathering was held every year and all the Core Disciples of the 3 sects had to participate in a battle tournament to determine the Number One Core Disciple.
It would take them more than a month to return and Sam was sure that the missing disciple whose name was Kumar , cannot survive for much longer inside the Poison Garden because he was only at 8th Level of Martial Master Realm . According to the information , Kumar was injured by a Level 3 Beast before he chose to flee inside the Poison Garden . So Sam was not sure that if Kumar was even alive anymore or not .
The Core Elder called Preet Kjmar issued a secret mission to save his grandson because he himself was currently injured heavily and could not venture inside the Poison Garden himself. Sam could not go either because he was the Acting Head Elder and other Elders were making excuses and refusing the mission . Sam could only think of Raven , who was strong and was the only one remaining who had enough power to take up this mission.
...
Raven felt that it was time to go outside because a week was more than enough time to lay low . But the instant he stepped outside his mansion , Sam arrived and without saying anything dragged Raven back inside.
After hearing about the matter from the anxious Sam , Raven decided to take the mission because he knew that Sam did not enough power to survive from the wrath of a Core Elder and his Father Mark, could not be disturbed right now . Coincidently , the Poison Garden was located near the Pincer Mountain where Raven intended to visit in near future . So Raven decided to accept the mission as he was also interested in such a mystical place like Poison Garden . It was not clear why the Poison Garden had such an environment all year around and Raven hoped to unravel the mystery because most places like this had something to do with opportunities to gain Ancient Treasures .
