Five days later.
At the bottom of the cliff, in the small storage room of Pill Treasure Pavilion.
Chen Mu handed over two hundred jin of Yellow Bud Rice and received sixty White Jade Coins.
Thirty of them were the salary for the Alchemist Apprentice, and the other thirty were the reward for two hundred jin of Essence of the Five Grains.
Chen Mu then returned twenty White Jade Coins to exchange for a wooden token.
The wooden token was as wide as two fingers and as long as a palm, one side carved with a mountain pattern and the other side inscribed with the words "Two thousand jin of Yellow Bud Rice."
With this wooden token, he could go to the Administrative Affairs Institute's main storage room to claim two thousand jin of Yellow Bud Rice.
...
The main storage room of the Administrative Affairs Institute was not far away, also carved out of the hollow of a mountain.
