After leaving Fang Xiaozi, Xu Changqing continued wandering around.
Before long, he arrived at a stall selling medicinal pills.
He heard people nearby say that the "stall owner" was an Advanced Alchemist.
The High Grade pill he had refined was called the Profound Origin Qi-Gathering Pill.
Its effect was to greatly increase one's cultivation speed.
But it had one drawback: one could only take a single pill per month.
Taking too much would not only fail to increase one's strength, but would also easily cause spiritual qi to stagnate within the body. When that happened, there would be nothing but harm.
Different grades also produced different effects.
For example, a poor-quality one would only last three days.
A high-quality grade one, however, could last ten days.
As for supreme grade, it would generally last around twenty days.
All the Profound Origin Qi-Gathering Pills displayed before him were high-quality grade.
Although it was winter now and Xu Changqing could not absorb much Wood Qi, after turning it over in his mind, he still took out ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to buy one.
Whether he could use it now or not, he would buy it first.
Seeing that it was about time, he turned to look for Yu Caiqing.
Yet there were too many onlookers, and he had to squeeze through the crowd for quite a while before he finally saw her.
At this point, only one hour had passed since the Internal Pill Appraisal Gathering began. Not only had it not ended, but more and more people were entering the Alchemy Tower.
There were even quite a few well-known cultivators.
For instance, the Rong Family, the number-one cultivation lineage of the Spirit Fields.
Rong Yan, whom Xu Changqing had met once before, had brought Senior Brother Li's childhood sweetheart, Huo Wan.
