"Master's" Kindness, Entering the Cave

Several days later, after studying the pill formulas given by the bald-browed old man and Seven-Leaf Master, Island Master Ye began refining pills.

The bald-browed old man was quite considerate of Wei Tu. Not only did he allow Wei Tu to observe Island Master Ye's pill refinement up close, he also gave Wei Tu a copy of the pill formula he had handed to Island Master Ye.

This pill was called the "Ding Jade Pill." It was a mid-grade fifth-tier pill, nearly identical in grade and difficulty to the "White Yang Pill" Wei Tu had previously refined.
