Labourers

With a nod of acknowledgment, Elder Du set the agenda for the day. "Today, we'll be concocting some lower-grade fasting pills. The new seeds can observe. Starting tomorrow, you two will also participate in the process."

Han Cai and He Jun assented with a nod.

The rest of the day was spent in one of the larger alchemy halls, where Han Cai and He Jun observed Elder Du and the other disciples engaged in the art of pill concoction. Elder Du concocted the first batch of pills and then asked Han Cai and He Jun to attempt creating the pills. They both tried in succession. The pills they were concocting were lower grade fasting pills. These pills, used as food substitutes by many cultivators, were very tiny. Han Cai easily concocted more than ten pills in a single batch. They practiced all day and by evening, Han Cai had successfully concocted around a hundred fasting pills.
