His voice echoed through many mansions, and Yan Xiaobao heard it imdiately next to the entire city. Everyone was curiously waiting to see if Yan Xiaobao would keep his promise and make the pill.
As the words were spoken, the door opened, and Yan Xiaobao appeared before them. "Please co in." he said, gesturing for Patriarch Zhou to follow him.
"Your gift is indeed extravagant." Yan Xiaobao remarked in shock upon seeing a pouch containing ten spirit coins. Although this amount wasn't too great, considering the expert's debt to Hui Hui, it was significant. To be honest, Yan Xiaobao didn't care about the coins, but he did care about that coin.
Clapping his hands, the servants appeared, and the two experts moved together to the library. "I need a full 7 to 9 hours to perfect the pill. During this ti, I cannot be interrupted. You are welco to stay in the library until I finish or return in nine hours."
"I will wait in the library. I look forward to seeing you in a few hours." The patriarch nodded in agreent. He was truly very worried. Although Yan Xiaobao managed to make the pill before, there was always a possibility he could fail to concoct the pill, and even the slightest interruption would waste all the materials.
Though it was easy to say sothing went wrong, Yan Xiaobao went all out to create the Silver Moon Pill for Bishop Zhou. This was the benefit he truly desired, thus he had to make the pill.
Hour after hour passed, and Yan Xiaobao focused on refining and fusing the paste and energy, while Patriarch Zhou intended to read so books, finding himself too nervous to truly concentrate on reading or cultivation.
As ti passed, ti flew for Yan Xiaobao, whereas it crept at a snail's pace for Zhou Chang. Soon seven hours had passed. Then eight hours, and finally at the end of the ninth hour, Yan Xiaobao reentered the library with a jade bottle in his hand.
Staring at the bottle, the patriarch found his mouth dry while trying to ask if he succeeded, but all he managed was a squeak.
"Don't worry, Master Zhou." Yan Xiaobao said with a smile as he handed the jade bottle to King Zhou, who quickly opened it. Inside was a gleaming pill with a very heavy fragrance wafting out.
"Thank you. Thank you very much, Master Hui!" Although the Zhou Clan leader expressed gratitude, he was truly shocked and elated. The contraceptive pill was a success, and now he could return ho exuberantly. He had not wasted their materials, nor had the young man deceived him.
"My honor." Yan Xiaobao smiled. He had gained the favor of one of Muchuan City's most prestigious families and also acquired so exceedingly rare herbal dicine he currently couldn't access.
Mr. Zhou looked at Yan Xiaobao with doubt. "If we obtain materials for another pill, we will trouble you again then." he said, nodding before leaving the mansion.
The word quickly spread throughout the town that Yan Xiaobao had made the Silver Moon Pills for the Zhou Family. Now everyone truly knew that as long as the materials were provided, Yan Xiaobao would indeed make pills. This caused a second uproar, as those hesitating to gather herbs suddenly realized they needed to strive to catch up with other families, as everyone wanted the Silver Moon Pills.
Yan Xiaobao didn't mind this. Instead, he continued training and waiting. One day, he again successfully concocted three Silver Moon Pills, and the month finally passed. Now was the ti for Sha Yun's return, and hope and anticipation were evident in Yan Xiaobao's eyes. He couldn't wait to reunite with his friends. It had been too long, and now he finally had the chance to see his good friends again. As for what General Frozen wanted, Yan Xiaobao didn't know, but he was slightly worried. General Frozen was not soone Yan Xiaobao could take lightly, so he spent all his ti training his mind and body.
"You an the hotel is full? There's no one in the restaurant! How can your hotel be full?!" the rchant expressed in a bad mood, having traveled all the way from Yue Liang Provence, only to find his preferred inn refused to accommodate anyone.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but the inn is indeed fully booked!" the servant pleaded. "An expert arrived yesterday and booked the entire hotel for the next two weeks. While we greatly appreciate our regular custors' patronage, this expert cannot be insulted. I'm sorry, please find another inn."
Since the servant kept refusing him, the rchant was helpless. Ultimately, he had no choice but to leave, cursing his bad luck and the person who rented the entire inn.
Seeing the rchant ship fake, the servant breathed a sigh of relief. His hands were shaking, his clothes drenched in sweat. He wished nothing more than for the current guests to disappear, but he didn't dare offend them.
Two days ago, a handso young man appeared. Beside him was a Snake Woman, and behind him was a group of ten experts. Cold air surrounded these experts, their eyes seed not to notice anything they saw. Their hair was white, and their skin was like snow.
These experts hadn't eaten anything since they arrived. They said nothing, only taking on the task of protecting and guarding the handso young man and the Snake Woman.
To the servants, these experts seed dead, yet they still functioned like normal people. This deeply frightened every servant in the inn, but no one dared to say anything. All they could do was continue their chores as usual and serve the two normal people of the group.
