The staff was waiting outside for li shenrong to come out. A young man wearing an exquisite robe walked in. He had an indifferent expression as he approached the staff.
"Greetings, young lord wu tong." The staff greeted the young man with a flattering smile.
"I need a room for pill refinement, master alchemist wu zhen will be refining some pills." The man spoke.
Hearing this, the staff felt troubled and said.
"Young lord tong, my apologies. Currently there's no pill refining room available. You need to wait untill a few more hours."
"I heard, one room was empty but someone already took it? Who is the alchemist?" Wu tong frowned a bit unhappily.
"Urm, he is a young man in his twenties, name li shenrong. He wanted to refine pills for himself so we had to give that room to him since it was empty." The staff replied quickly.
"A young alchemist in his twenties? Are you sure he is not just an apprentice who wants to practice? Absurd! I'll get him out myself." Wu tong was angry, he didn't want to wait any longer after hearing that the alchemist was an unknown young man.
"Lord! You can't. Burging into the pill refinement room is a taboo. If word of it gets out, we won't be able to escape punishment." Wu tong forcefully suppressed the displeasure in his heart and snorted coldly.
He turned around and left.
The staff heaved a sigh of relief. He escaped a calamity this time. If wu tong really burged into the pill refinement room and the higher ups inquired about it. He, a staff in charge, couldn't escape the blame, because his surname wasn't 'wu'. As a main branch descendant of 'wu', wu tong could escape with lite punishment. But an insignificant staff like him will be sacrificed to upheld the shop's reputation.
Fortunately, the guy wasn't so unreasonable to break the rules openly and left.
One hour later, door of the refinement room opened with a creak sound as li shenrong walked out.
Did he fail?
The staff thought inwardly. He looked at li shenrong from head to toe, to see some signs of pill refinement. But to his disappointment, li shenrong was as clean as a jade.
Li shenrong took out a pill bottle from his sleeve and threw it at him.
The staff quickly caught it with both hands and opened the lid cautiously.
As soon as the bottle was open, a sweet and refreshing fragrant spread out in all surroundings.
"What pill is this! Huhh? Impossible, one hundred percent purity pill!" The staff was visibly shaken. His hands started trembling while holding the pill bottle.
He touched the pill and could feel a wave of heat from it. That means the pill was concocted just recently.
"Lord, dare i ask what kind of pill this is?" The staff asked in a respectful tone.
"Soul and cage severing pill." Li shenrong replied.
The staff scratched his head trying to remember if there was any pill with this name but he had never heard of it before.
He felt awkward, as an apprentice alchemist, he couldn't even recognise a pill. It was shameful.
"Lord, may i know its usage?" He asked.
Li shenrong nodded and started explaining.
"This pill is known as soul and cage severing pill and can help a cultivator to breakthrough into spirit accumulation realm. As we all know, to successfully breakthrough to the spirit accumulation realm you need to use your spirit or soul to suck in chaos energies inside, use the soul to break the cage of fortune set by the heaven. Once the cage of fortune is broken, from a mortal soul, your soul will be elevated and you will become a true cultivator, body and soul.
As the pill's name suggests, after taking a pill, it'll strengthen the consumer's soul for a short period of time, without any drawbacks.
The cage of fortune can only be broken in three stages but a soul and cage severing pill can help one to break the cage of fortune completely at first try."
"Such miraculous pill exists in the world!" The staff felt incredulous and mesmerised. "Lord, I can't decide the value of a pill of this level, i need to contact the higher ups. Please give me some time."
Li shenrong nodded.
The staff quickly turned around and went somewhere.
