With a cultivation method as wasteful as Su Xin's, two Great Restoration Pills were nowhere near enough to help him break through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
So Su Xin searched through the various cultivation resources the Imperial Court had allocated to Jiangnan Circuit and picked out several bottles of pills he could use.
The Imperial Court allocated a fixed number of pills at each grade to every circuit. The highest-grade pills were naturally prepared for Su Xin, the Jiangnan Circuit Chief Constable, but there weren't many.
Even with these bottles, he still didn't have enough. Gritting his teeth, Su Xin exchanged for another Great Restoration Pill from the System Space.
After the slaughter in Jiannan Circuit, Su Xin had been left with 2,600 Villain Points. This time, exchanging for a three-and-a-half-star Great Restoration Pill cost him 1,000 points.
Once he had gathered all the pills, Su Xin began his seclusion.
An ordinary person would have needed a year or more to refine so many pills. Su Xin, however, only extracted their most potent essence, saving a great deal of time. In just three months, he had fully absorbed their medicinal power.
As soon as Su Xin emerged from seclusion, Huang Bingcheng hurried over to inform him, "Boss, Lord Tie Zhan is here."
Su Xin was taken aback. Tie Zhan was busy with official business. If he had a task for Su Xin, he could simply have sent word through a spy. Since he had come in person, did that mean something important had happened?
"How long has Lord Tie Zhan been here?" Su Xin asked.
"Just three days," Huang Bingcheng replied. "He heard you were in seclusion and said there was no need to disturb you. He'd wait until you came out."
Su Xin nodded. Since
