Chapter 30
For ordinary disciples of Dao Sword Sect, the monthly allowance was one hundred low-grade spirit stones, ten Returning Primal Pills, and one Spirit Gathering Pill. For inner sect disciples, it was three hundred low-grade spirit stones, twenty Returning Primal Pills, and two Spirit Gathering Pills. For personally taught disciples, it was five hundred low-grade spirit stones, fifty Returning Primal Pills, and ten Spirit Gathering Pills.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.
The spirit stones came from Dao Sword Sect's own spiritual veins, while the pills had two sources...
Most of the pills were purchased from Zhican Valley, and a small portion was provided by Dan Peak. The ones from Dan Peak were refined by Qin Ran.
The monthly allowance was distributed at the beginning of each month, while the preparation for the distribution was done in the middle of the previous month.
That is to say, on the fifteenth of every month, Butler Hall would send someone to Qin Ran for the pills needed for next month.
Jian Yuanjie, the chief butler of Butler Hall, was in charge of pill-related matters within the sect. He was usually the one to receive the pills from Qin Ran.
Today, he climbed up Dan Peak, walked through the secluded ancient forest path, and arrived at the grassland Qin Ran had opened up.
He was already very familiar with Dan Peak, and had witnessed Qin Ran's transformations of Dan Peak bit by bit. However, looking in now, he realized Dan Peak looked a little different again.
For example, why was there suddenly a huge pit in the middle of the painstakingly cleared grassland? How unsightly, what was the meaning of this?
Jian Yuanjie was puzzled. He walked over and saw a muddy figure digging at the bottom of the pit. He asked, "What are you doing?"
The muddy figure in the pit looked up, revealing a pair of particularly bright eyes. She glanced at him and replied, "Digging a lake."
Digging a lake? Jian Yuanjie did not quite understand.
It was a girl's voice, not Qin Ran's. He asked again, "Where's Master Qin?"
The girl pointed to the building called the Research Tower and said nothing.
"Alright!" Jian Yuanjie nodded. This girl did not speak much, appearing rather aloof.
He did not ask any more questions and walked towards the Research Tower. After taking two steps, he suddenly recalled the rumors that Qin Ran had accepted an extremely talented disciple at the Questioning Dao Convention. That girl in the pit must be her.
He quickly turned back, intending to chat more with the girl and give her a greeting gift, as he believed he had a decent relationship with Qin Ran.
But as soon as he turned back, there was movement from the chair by the mud pit. He looked over to see a white cat with black circular patterns, though on closer look it might not be a cat.
The cat jumped onto the chair, adjusted its position, sat down, looked up and opened its mouth, making a "Awooo... Awooo..." sound.
Qin Ran shook his head and said, "My talent isn't good enough, it's not surprising that I can't form my core."
"Your talent is good enough, you have a mid-grade water spirit root..." Jian Yuanjie sighed as he inspected the pills, "It seems you still can't get over the shadow cast by Uncle Wang's failure to overcome the tribulation. In fact, there's nothing to fear about the Heavenly Tribulation. With your aptitude, it would be at most three nine-minor-bolts tribulations, very easy to get through."
Hearing Jian Yuanjie's words, and recalling his master's primordial spirit scattering under the lightning tribulation, Qin Ran remained silent and had nothing to say.
The two of them packaged the pills quickly. Before long, they were done. Jian Yuanjie tied the storage bag around his waist and said to Qin Ran,
"I've always said that the pills you refine are better than Zhican Valley's. I'm not flattering you, it's the truth. I sincerely hope you can form your core soon, so that you can refine pills for the Golden Core stage. I really can't stand Zhican Valley's substandard products anymore."
"I'll try my best," Qin Ran nodded in reply.
The two chatted as Qin Ran saw Jian Yuanjie out of the Research Tower and headed outside.
In the grassland, Li Shiyin was still digging the pit, while Chasing the Wind was no longer howling. It was curled up asleep on the chair.
"What's the purpose of digging this pit?" Jian Yuanjie asked.
"To dig an artificial lake," Qin Ran explained. "It's also to let my disciple consolidate her cultivation."
Only then did Jian Yuanjie understand. He said, "But she's a girl..."
Qin Ran remained silent.
The two walked across the grassland. Qin Ran sent Jian Yuanjie all the way to the edge of the forest, watching as he left.
Compared to Huang Feiyu, Jian Yuanjie was more polite and did not arrogantly fly straight to Dan Peak on a cloud.
However, watching Jian Yuanjie's departing figure, Qin Ran's eyes were complicated.
The first rule of the cultivation world was to never trust anyone.
Jian Yuanjie believed he had a good relationship with him, but ultimately it was just mutual benefit... because of the pills.
Jian Yuanjie was not a friend. Qin Ran had never told him that he was exploring the limits of the Foundation Establishment stage - the quality and quantity of spiritual power, the degree of control over spiritual power, the toughness of the physical body...
It wasn't that he couldn't form his core, it was that he didn't want to.
