Xiao Zhiqing sat down with a stern expression on her face. “There are three challenges to pill concocting. The first one is obtaining the medicinal herbs used in the pill. They are becoming increasingly rare and most of the ingredients needed to concoct high-class pills have gone extinct. As far as I know, in Hongmeng or even my clan, the ones who are skilled in pill concocting have not been able to concoct high-class pills, let alone the best of the best. Its all because of the scarcity of the ingredients. As for the normal ingredients, people dont really get enough of it. As for the herbs in the Sumeru ring, those are far from concocting a low-class pill.”

Yang Chen nodded. “I heard about this, but this doesnt necessarily apply to other countries. After all, they dont have cultivators that concoct pills.”

“Other countries?” Xiao Zhiqing contemplated for a while. “Its possible but I havent met anyone who traveled abroad to find ingredients for the pills. It might have something to do with the Treaty of Gods. There are all sorts of theories in Hongmeng, some say that were afraid of the western Gods and some say that were just holding on to the treaty.”

Yang Chen avoided the topic. “I will send people out to search for places that might have medicinal herbs. Where do you think it could be?”

“A good place to start would be going to places with ancient civilizations because it means that there is some sort of spirituality over there.”

Yang Chen took note of it before asking, “What about the second challenge?”

“Thats even harder.” Xiao Zhiqing sighed. “You would need a high-quality cauldron and it must be able to withstand the Samadhi True Fire. Cauldrons like this are mainly made out of a special metal that originates from the Great Ancient times. The Northern Sea iron, Polar iron, and Taiyi gold are good examples of these. These are mainly used to make mystical artifacts but the amount used is nothing compared to a cauldron. As far as Im aware, the cauldrons that Hongmeng possess were passed down from the Great Ancient times and there are only five of them. The Xiao clan has two, the Luo and Ning clans have one each. Even if the other clans have it, it must be out of use. Up to this point, Im sure you could guess the third challenge, the Samadhi True Fire. This is the second heavenly fire from the Three Yang Fire tribulation. To acquire this heavenly fire, a huge array of ingredients are needed. Therefore when it comes to concocting middle class and low-class pills, the fuel would be more valuable than the actual ingredients.”

Xiao Zhiqing smiled when she noticed his silence. “Do you understand why I didnt want you to think about this? You cant do this on your own.”

Yang Chen chuckled. “The Samadhi True Fire isnt a problem but Im thinking where should I look for the cauldron?”

Xiao Zhiqing was puzzled. “Why is that so?”

Yang Chen could only tell her that he was near to mastering the Samadhi True Fire which made her completely dumbfounded.
