Red Flame Emperor's Collection

Yang Ling's words drew a ripple of laughter from both sides.

Zhao De gave him a faint, knowing smile. "Young man, you may not understand much about alchemy.

"As far as I know, no one in the Great Dream Dynasty or the Abyssal Beast Grotto has yet refined a pill that can rival the Black Tortoise Longevity Blood Pill in raising Martial Technique cultivation.

"Without such a pill, you'll have to rely on rare plants with similar effects. Those are naturally worth far more than pills.
