Chapter 194 Returning to the Capital

After sending off the Golden Roc, Chu Han returned to the urban area of the capital.

His status as a student of Kyoto Martial Arts University saved him a lot of trouble, allowing him to enter the city directly.

After entering the city, he first contacted Zhao Feiyu.

He had previously promised to help the other find essence blood from a Lion-type mutated beast, and now he had obtained it.

Half an hour later, Chu Han and Zhao Feiyu met up at the school.

Zhao Feiyu had also ventured into the wilderness, but not only did he fail to find a satisfactory Lion-type mutated beast, he was also injured and fled back to the capital in a sorry state.

Upon learning that Chu Han had obtained the essence blood, he rushed to see Chu Han immediately, disregarding his injuries.

"Brother Han, you're really my savior! What Rank Lion-type mutated beast's essence blood did you obtain?" As soon as he saw Chu Han, Zhao Feiyu eagerly asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Chu Han smiled and took out a bottle containing the essence blood from his space ring, handing it to Zhao Feiyu: "Don't be shocked, this is the essence blood of a 7th-Rank Purple Crystal Lion King."

"What? 7th Rank! Brother Han, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Zhao Feiyu was immediately stunned by Chu Han's news.

essence blood of a 7th-Rank Purple Crystal Lion King? Even in his Zhao Family, essence blood of this level was not abundant.

And he had no qualification to use it.

"See for yourself," Chu Han said with a laugh.

Zhao Feiyu tremblingly took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and a pure yet violent energy instantly emanated—it was the unique aura of the Purple Crystal Lion King's essence blood.

As someone with the Mad Lion Bloodline talent, he was very familiar with the aura of Lion-type mutated beasts.

This powerful oppressive feeling was definitely not an aura that ordinary low-Rank lions could emit.

And he quickly confirmed that this was indeed the essence blood of a 7th-Rank Purple Crystal Lion King.

Zhao Feiyu's face lit up with wild joy. He hurriedly tightened the stopper, so excited that his breathing became rapid.

This bottle of essence blood was crucial to him, determining whether he could break through his current Bottleneck and step into a higher Realm.

With essence blood of this level, his talent could evolve to the Black Grade.

He had originally thought there was no hope for this matter, but he never expected Chu Han to help him achieve it so quickly.

Holding onto Chu Han's arm, he said excitedly: "Brother Han, you're my real brother, no, my godfather! Godfather above, I..."

"Get lost! I don't need a son like you."

Chu Han quickly pulled his hand away. "You should refine the essence blood as soon as possible and improve your strength—that's the important thing."

Zhao Feiyu said a bunch more mushy words, but Chu Han directly threw him out, telling him to go Cultivate.

He himself had more important matters to attend to.

Chu Han left Kyoto Martial Arts University and headed straight for Master Yao's residence.

Master Yao had already given instructions earlier, so Chu Han could come and go freely.

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Han arrived at the entrance of the residence, the two guards did not stop him at all and directly let him pass.

Chu Han walked straight into the residence, passed through the courtyard, and arrived outside the pill room where Master Yao usually practiced Alchemy.

"Come in," came Master Yao's aged yet resonant voice from inside the pill room.

Chu Han pushed the door open and entered, seeing Master Yao sitting beside the Pill Furnace, adjusting the furnace fire.

Seeing Chu Han walk in, Master Yao looked up, scanned him with his gaze, and then showed a surprised expression: "You're quite fast, kid! How long has it been, and you've already gathered all three medicinal herbs: the blood bait flower, star pattern fruit, and dragon crystal grass?"

He had originally thought Chu Han would need at least one or two months, or even require him to coordinate some resources, but he never expected Chu Han to be so efficient.

Chu Han smiled and explained: "This time, I was able to smoothly obtain the medicinal herbs thanks to the help of the Xiao Family in the Southern Border. The Xiao Family has deep roots near the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and helped me a lot."

"So it's the Xiao Family," Master Yao suddenly understood and nodded.

"You're quite clever, kid. The Xiao Family's methods in the Southern Border are indeed special, especially regarding medicinal herbs and mutated beast resources. Even many top-tier forces have to give them some face. With their help, finding these three medicinal herbs makes sense."

As he spoke, Master Yao looked at Chu Han: "Did you bring all the medicinal herbs?"

"I brought them," Chu Han nodded, taking out the blood bait flower, star pattern fruit, and dragon crystal grass from his space ring one by one and handing them to Master Yao.

"The quality of the medicinal herbs is excellent and should meet the requirements for refining the green lotus pill."

Master Yao carefully inspected them, showing satisfaction in his eyes: "Good, good, these are all top-quality medicinal herbs. With these, the chances of refining a high-quality green lotus pill have increased."

Then, Chu Han handed over another dozen or so medicinal herbs to Master Yao.

Master Yao stored these medicinal herbs and said to Chu Han: "You go back first. I need time to prepare for the Alchemy. Come back here in ten days to pick up the Medicinal Pill."

"By the way, Great Master, I obtained a dragon core from a Swamp Poison Dragon in the Poisonous Swamp of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. I'd like to ask how to use it—does it need to be refined into a Medicinal Pill?" Chu Han thought of the dragon core in his possession and asked.

"Oh? A Swamp Poison Dragon's dragon core—your luck is really good, kid," Master Yao gave Chu Han another look.

Then he said: "This Poison Dragon's dragon core is most suitable for Martial Artists cultivating Poison-attribute Qi, but it also has great effects for ordinary Martial Artists. Swallowing and refining it allows one to absorb the vast Qi within the dragon core, improving cultivation. Most importantly, it grants a Body Immune to All Poisons."

"Of course, the so-called immunity to all poisons isn't absolute. If encountering toxins from mutated beasts above the 10th Rank, one can still be poisoned, but the poisoning effect will be somewhat reduced."

Hearing Master Yao's explanation, Chu Han felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"I understand. Thank you. I'll trouble you with the green lotus pill, Master Yao."

After speaking, Chu Han turned and left the pill room, exiting Master Yao's residence.

Now, with ten days left until picking up the Medicinal Pill and no other urgent matters, he returned to Kyoto Martial Arts University.

He went to the Body Tempering Academy, where Zhou Tong informed him that Qiu Zhan's seclusion was about to end, also in around ten days.

Chu Han couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation.

For the next ten days, he could peacefully Cultivate at the school, stabilize his own Realm, refine the Poison Dragon's dragon core, and wait for the green lotus pill to be completed.

The ten days passed quickly. Chu Han completely refined the Swamp Poison Dragon's dragon core, and his cultivation reached the Peak of the 6th-Rank Middle Stage.

After refining the Poison Dragon's core, Chu Han's Physical Body also gained a certain degree of strengthening.

Most importantly, he obtained a Body Immune to All Poisons, meaning poisons below the 10th Rank could no longer harm him.

To verify this, Chu Han specifically obtained 7th-Rank and 8th-Rank poisons and tested them—indeed, they had no effect on him.

The draws over these ten days also allowed Chu Han to obtain the cultivation method for the 'Hundred Explanations of Spiritual Power Cultivation Mastery Chapter.'

He obtained the Visualization Method for the next twenty diagrams.

This excited Chu Han greatly.

As for the other items, their value wasn't as high.

The ten days had passed. Chu Han went to the Body Tempering Academy early in the morning, but after waiting for a long time, the teacher still hadn't emerged from seclusion.

So, he headed to Master Yao's residence.

Since Master Yao had said ten days, regardless, there would be a result today.

Those two green lotus pills were most likely already completed.

Chu Han was even more eagerly anticipating these two green lotus pills.

But when he arrived at Master Yao's residence, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
