Pills (2)

"Elder, to refine a profound Blood Pill if Guang-Er is not mistaken, we still lack the blood from a five-hundred years old Medicine Turtle, blood pearl powder from the Blood Clam, and..."

"I forget. I can only remember two out of the five other ingredients." Yang Guang barely remembers what is needed, but he's not mistaken about the two other ingredients that should be included to concoct a Profound-Level Blood Pill.

"Oh boy, my memory..." Elder Xiao Yi slapped his forehead after hearing Yang Guang's reply. But deep inside, he chuckled. How hard is it to teach this kid...

"Guang-Er... What I'm going to tell you now, make sure you remember and do not share with others. Or else, you'll attract the people will ill-intention." Elder Xiao Yi's expression turned serious.

"Junior Yang Guang understands." Yang Guang kneeled on one knee with his hand cupped together.

"Eight essences combined into four bodies. Bodies married to tie two knots. Two knots link to create one origin."

"The Jades of the world return to the Jade Realm. Always remember this no matter where you go." Elder Xiao Yi's few sentences puzzled Yang Guang. He could remember them clearly, but what do they mean?

"Alright. Go out. I'm going to refine a few Bai-Long Pellets. Come back after two hours to collect them. If you're free, why don't you go outside, have fun, then come back?" Elder Xiao Yi tried to kick Yang Guang out from his room after he's done telling.

The junior had no chance to reply to him. With a light wave from the elder, Yang Guang felt like he got taken out of the room without him noticing what happened.

"This elder..." the speechless Yang Guang shook his head twice and left the Mystic Tower. And since he's been given a Thousand-Li Horse as a reward for the last mission, it is indeed a waste to not use it properly.

Without further ado, Yang Guang made his way over to the stable where they kept all the horses.

There are about a thousand horses here, but only five Thousand-Li Horses included his own. When Yang Guang went over to the slot that belonged to his name, Yang Guang noticed that his horse is missing.

"Where could my horse went?" Yang Guang looked around. And very quickly, a housekeeper returned with stead about half taller than him.

"Greetings, Childe Yang. My name is Xu Wenyang. I am one of the hundred people handling the horses resting inside this stable." he introduced himself to Yang Guang. After seeing how Yang Guang panic at that space, he doesn't need to guess to know that this person is the owner of the Thousand-Li Horse.

"Has he been named yet?" Yang Guang asked.

"Childe Yang, it's not a stallion, but a mare. She's yet to be named. We're just waiting for your arrival to give her a name." Xu Wenyang answered politely.

Yang Guang stared at his Thousand-Li Horse patiently. Beautiful brown hair on the back of its neck and tail. The Thousand-Li Horse stands at 2.5meters tall, with the weight between 3,000jin. As for its body, bronze-hue covered it thoroughly.

"What is her breed?" Yang Guang requested to be told about this mare.

"She's a purebred Jiulifei Horse," Xu Wenyang replied.

Jiu-Li-Fei, or Nine Miles Flying Stead. Well-known stead for its might of galloping as fast as flying after nine miles. Although the Jiulifei Horse are not capable of cultivation, their fitness alone can be compared against a Moonjade Tiger Beast, or even stronger.

"Hmm... Let's call her Xianzi. Jiu-Xianzi," Yang Guang flicked his finger and decided her name.

"Ninth... Fairy?" Xu Wenyang was surprised for a moment there, but quickly catch up with meaning behind the name.

...

...

"Childe Yang, your horseriding skill is quite good. These experiences can be compared to a rider that trained for a year or two." Xu Wenyang praised Yang Guang for his excellent balancing and skills when riding his horse.

Although part of it is thanks to the Jiulifei Horse, Yang Guang's patience is also one of the main points for the mare to listen to him. A horse can be said to be much more emotional than a lady in love when it was introduced to a new owner.

And to win its heart, a great effort has to be given to the horse. And in return from all these efforts, the stead will not only fight alongside the owner but protecting him till the last moment.

"Xianzi, shall I bring you to get some good grass?" Yang Guang patted Xianzi's head.

"Mehhh!" the horse neighed loudly, seemingly happy from Yang Guang's meticulous care.

Without wasting time, Yang Guang and Xu Wenyang headed to the nearest stable behind the business street and parked his horse there. After paying up five Soul Jades as the fee, Yang Guang leaves Xu Wenyang, his horse, and Xianzi there while he visits the Business street.

His current situation is different from before.

In this half-year, he changed. From a weak bastard that lived outside the city, he's now an Outer Disciple from Polished Jade Tower. His strength is close to the 6th Layer of Jade Formation Realm, and the advancement is due in less than a month.

He's also come by riding on a Thousand-Li Horse, an experience that not everyone had the chance to do so. And after he changed the remaining Polished Jade Coins in Qi-Zhen Manor, Yang Guang now had more than five hundred Soul Jades, more than enough for him to spend here for a night or two.

"Hey! Is that not Little Yang?" one of the shopkeepers recognized Yang Guang immediately.

"Hahaha! Uncle Li!" Yang Guang greeted to the shopkeeper of the Herb Store. Thinking back about how he came here to see his herbs for the past few years, it's quite a bad memory.

"This child... When did you join the Polished Jade Tower?" Uncle Li asked. As he's a supplier for the Ten Thousand Pills Sect, he's quite disappointed to see Yang Guang joined the tower instead of their sect.

"Half a year ago." Yang Guang answered. Although Uncle Li is quite a dishonest shopkeeper when it comes to buying outsider's herbs, his store does have good merchandise for sale. And it won't hurt to answer his question as long it doesn't cause him trouble.

"How about come in and shop in Uncle's Store? I'll give you some discounts." Uncle Li pointed into his shop, trying to bait this wealthy fish to come in and spend inside his shop.

"Alright! I'm looking for some herbs too!" Yang Guang accepted his invitation and entered Li's Herb Store.

...

Somewhere else not far...

"What? You saw Yang Guang going inside Old Li's shop?" a lady is surprised by the information told by her servant.

"Yes, milady. I'm sure that's Yang Guang. He's wearing the uniform of an Outer Disciple from Polished Jade Tower now." the servant continued.

"Good! Finally, he comes out from the damn sect!" Yun Xue Li said.
