But Yan Kai was no Alchemist. To him, this pill formula was like a chicken rib-too little meat to satisfy, yet too precious to discard. He could only trade it for resources he could use.
So, after weighing it over and over, he still chose to give the pill formula to Liu Yu.
Doing so offered two major benefits: first, it demonstrated his loyalty and dispelled his senior brother's doubts; second, it could repay some of his debts.
After all, the several True Treasures in Yan Kai's possession had all been obtained on credit, leaving him under considerable pressure.
Given the gulf between their strengths, he would never dare default on his debts anyway, so paying them off sooner was better.
Scanning ten lines at a glance, Liu Yu swiftly read through the Nascent Soul Condensation Pill formula. As he studied the unfamiliar herb names listed on it, his brows gradually knitted.
The reason was simple: even now, a small portion of the spirit herbs on the formula seemed unfamiliar to him.
Although he had seen them in an illustrated compendium of spirit herbs and their spirit pressure, there had been no news of them in the Cultivation World for years. Gathering them would not be easy-indeed, it would be extremely difficult.
These herbs accounted for roughly twenty to thirty percent of the ingredients. Liu Yu was confident he could gather only sixty to seventy percent.
Most importantly, there had been no news of the main ingredient for refining Nascent Soul Condensation Pills in the Southern Heaven Cultivation World for a very long time.
For now, actually refining this pill remained a distant prospect.
Even so, this pill formula still has some value.
