When Luo Chen returned from Step Pill Court to the hall at the foot of Wonderful Pill Peak, he was met by gaze after gaze filled with complicated emotions.
But beneath them all lay deep envy.
Most of those still in the hall had failed the talent assessment and were paying to study pill refinement.
Naturally, they envied Luo Chen for succeeding on his first try.
Luo Chen paid them no mind and used his Pill Hall token to choose a room.
After closing the door, he sat quietly for a while.
Only when his Divine Thought had swept the surroundings and confirmed no one was watching did he carefully open his mouth and spit something out.
A faint blue glow shimmered around it, wreathed in fiery qi.
It was the Wither Bloom Fire Seed!
After absorbing the fiery qi of the Earth Vein for three years in Taisu Immortal City, the Wither Bloom Fire Seed had recovered a sliver of Primordial Qi.
It was not much, but its condition was far better than when it had seemed utterly lifeless.
Now that he had come to the Su Ling Sect and found himself in the Alchemy Institute, a place with an immense Fire Vein, Luo Chen naturally would not let the opportunity go to waste.
"Go!"
With a flick of his hand, he sent the Wither Bloom Fire Seed into the Earth Fire Entrance.
Under the control of Luo Chen's Divine Thought, the Fire Seed kept shifting and sinking until it reached the depths of the Fire Vein.
That way, no one would discover it easily.
Once that was done, Luo Chen waved his hand, and streaks of light flew out one after another.
There was an Alchemy Furnace, a book, and seven or eight kinds of young medicinal herbs.
