Chapter 170 The Pavilion of Ten Thousand Medicines

Chu Han secretly marveled at Master Yao's sharp eyes, but he didn't hide it. With a thought, a section of a root that was emerald green and emitted a faint aura of vitality appeared in his hand.

This was precisely the root of an innate green lotus. Although it had been detached from the main body and its vitality was slowly fading, it still contained an extraordinary amount of energy.

For Chu Han, this root was of little use other than its vitality, making it the perfect choice to serve as payment for the Alchemy.

"There is also a section of the green lotus root. If you need it, Master, you can take it as well." Chu Han handed the root over.

Master Yao grabbed the root, the excitement on his face no longer concealable. He held the green lotus leaf and the root as if they were peerless treasures, nodding repeatedly: "Enough! It's more than enough!"

He took a deep breath, forcibly calming the waves in his heart, and looked at Chu Han with a solemn tone: "Kid, just for these few green lotus leaves and this root, I'll refine the two green lotus pills for you, and I won't take a single one from you! I'll also give you all the auxiliary Materials I have here for free, not a single cent!"

Lin Canglan smiled at the sight and teased Master Yao: "You old thing, not opening your mouth wide like a lion this time?"

Master Yao rolled his eyes at him but didn't retort. He carefully placed the green lotus leaf and the root into a specially made jade box, storing them properly.

To him, while the green lotus leaf and root couldn't directly assist in a Breakthrough like the green lotus pill, their value in comprehending the aura of life and improving his Alchemy attainments was not even inferior to a green lotus pill.

"However, there's something I need to make clear to you."

Master Yao looked at Chu Han, his expression regaining some seriousness. "Refining a green lotus pill requires over forty types of auxiliary Materials. I have thirty-one of them here, but there are fifteen types of medicinal herbs that are extremely rare, and I don't have any in stock. You'll need to find a way to get them yourself."

He took out a Pill Formula, tapped it with his finger to input information, and handed it to Chu Han: "This is the list of required medicinal herbs. The fifteen missing ones are marked. Go and collect them as soon as possible. Once the Materials are gathered, we can start the furnace to refine the pills."

Chu Han took the Pill Formula and scanned it, memorizing the fifteen required medicinal herbs in his heart.

Among them, the blood bait flower, dragon crystal grass, and star pattern fruit were specifically marked as potentially needing to be searched for in the Poisonous Swamp of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

"No problem."

Chu Han put away the Pill Formula and nodded, "I'll gather the medicinal herbs as soon as possible."

Master Yao nodded with satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face: "Good! I'll wait for you here."

"I understand," Chu Han replied.

With the matter settled, Lin Canglan led Chu Han to bid farewell to Master Yao.

Walking out of the old residence, Lin Canglan looked at Chu Han and said with a smile, "You kid are truly blessed with great fortune. I didn't expect you to still have the green lotus leaf and root. This saves a lot of trouble and earns you a favor from Old Man Yao."

Chu Han smiled: "It was just good luck. By the way, Principal, there's something else I might need to ask for leave for."

"Oh? What is it?" Lin Canglan raised an eyebrow.

"I need to go to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to collect several medicinal herbs needed for Alchemy," Chu Han said.

Lin Canglan nodded: "The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are extremely dangerous, even beyond the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range. However, with your strength, I have nothing to worry about. Just be extra careful. Also, don't forget about the Hundred Schools Elite League; there's only one month left. Don't miss the time."

"Don't worry, Principal, I know what I'm doing," Chu Han laughed.

He thanked Lin Canglan again, and then the two parted ways.

Chu Han immediately took out a map and headed straight for the Star Alliance location in the capital.

He planned to purchase the other 12 types of medicinal herbs first before going to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

As the largest Star Alliance branch in the Dragon Summer Federation, the capital's Star Alliance was far more magnificent than the branch in the provincial capital of Tianyuan Province; they were like clouds and mud.

The Star Alliance headquarters was located in the core area of the capital, occupying a vast area with a giant building soaring into the clouds.

Stepping inside the Star Alliance was even more breathtaking. The wide hall was radiant, and the people passing by were all Martial Artists with deep, steady auras.

5th-rank and 6th-rank Martial Artists could be seen everywhere, and occasionally, one could even see 7th Rank Grandmaster-level experts walking with their heads held high, carrying an innate arrogance.

None of the Martial Artists who came to the Star Alliance for transactions were ordinary people.

Chu Han went to the front desk and immediately stated his needs: "Hello, I want to purchase medicinal herbs for refining pills."

The beauty at the front desk smiled and said, "Hello, the Star Alliance has a specialized Medicinal Pill area called the Myriad Medicine Pavilion. If you wish to buy Alchemy Materials, Medicinal Pills, or other Heaven And Earth Treasures, you can go there. Additionally, we can introduce you to the Star Alliance's exclusive alchemists to refine pills for you. If needed, you can also apply at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion."

"Alright, take me there."

Chu Han nodded.

The front desk immediately arranged for a staff member to lead him to the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

As soon as he stepped into the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, a medicinal fragrance mixed with various Spirit Medicine scents wafted over, making him feel refreshed.

The scale inside the Myriad Medicine Pavilion was equally astonishing. The first-floor hall was filled with various shelves displaying countless pill bottles and medicinal herbs, ranging from low-rank blood-stopping grass to high-rank Ten-Thousand-Year White Jade Ginseng, a dazzling array.

The customers coming and going were either rich or noble, spending lavishly, often purchasing high-rank medicinal herbs with energy stones or federal currency without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Han's gaze swept across the shelves, and he secretly marveled.

The Myriad Medicine Pavilion in Tianyuan Province was like a small street vendor compared to this place.

He had come this time to purchase the twelve missing medicinal herbs needed to refine the green lotus pill, which included the fruit of life.

Back in Tianyuan Province, when he had inquired about divine medicine to treat his father's chronic injury, neither the fruit of life nor the water of life were in stock.

He didn't expect that here, several of them were actually sitting on the shelves, each emitting a rich aura of life.

"As expected of the capital's Star Alliance, the foundation is truly deep," Chu Han thought to himself. Just as he was about to step forward to ask about the price, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Han? It really is you!"

Chu Han turned around and saw Zhao Feiyu greeting him, his face full of surprise.

Zhao Feiyu's aura was much steadier than before, clearly showing that his cultivation had improved, though it was still some distance from the 4th rank.

"Brother Han! Long time no see. How have you been lately?" Zhao Feiyu laughed.

"Not bad, I just finished a session of cultivation," Chu Han laughed.

"I heard you went to the wilderness for a month of training. You must have gained a lot, right?" Zhao Feiyu asked.

"It was okay. My cultivation had some Breakthroughs, and I earned some hunting points along the way."

"I bet it wasn't as simple as you say. After not seeing you for a month, your strength must have increased significantly again. Are you also here at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion to buy things?" Zhao Feiyu asked.

"Yeah, I'm here to buy a few medicinal herbs for Alchemy," Chu Han nodded.

Zhao Feiyu laughed: "What a coincidence! I'm also here to buy Medicinal Pills. I'm preparing to go to the Funan Wilderness Ridge for training and need to prepare some high-rank Medicinal Pills for protection."

As he spoke, he pointed to the bill in his hand, "I bought some 5th-rank Qi Recovery Pills and 6th-rank Resuscitation Pills. They're deathly expensive."

Chu Han's heart stirred, and he asked: "Are you going to the wilderness this time for cultivation or a school mission?"

"For cultivation, of course." A hint of helplessness appeared on Zhao Feiyu's face.

"The Mad Lion Art I Cultivate requires the essence blood of high-rank Lion-type mutated beasts to catalyze my Bloodline; otherwise, it's hard to break through to the 4th-rank Martial Artist level. It's just that the Funan Wilderness Ridge is too dangerous, and I was worried about having no one to go with. I didn't expect to run into you here!"

A flash of anticipation appeared in his eyes, and he quickly said: "Brother Han, are you busy lately? Why don't we go to the Funan Wilderness Ridge together? We can look out for each other on the way!"

Chu Han shook his head: "I have to go to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains soon, so I probably won't be able to go with you. However, I can keep an eye out for high-rank Lion-type mutated beasts for you. Do you need a specific type of beast?"

A flash of regret appeared in Zhao Feiyu's eyes, but hearing Chu Han's later words, he said happily: "Of course, the higher the rank, the better, but at least a 5th-rank or higher Lion-type mutated beast."

"No problem," Chu Han readily agreed.

A Lion-type mutated beast of 5th-rank or higher was just a simple task for him.

"Thank you so much, Brother Han!" Zhao Feiyu was immediately overjoyed and said quickly, "Once it's done, I will definitely thank you properly!"

Chu Han waved his hand, not minding it.
