"What is wrong with this description? Did the name Yantai Pill is fake?" Zhang Wu Ji was surprised by the name it was shown in the description. Up to date, many of the items he read in their descriptions matched the name given by the public, and even the Iron Ruler he made, or the Dirk he crafted carried the name correctly. But when he looks at the description of this pill he just made, it was completely different from what he knows.
Low-Quality Mutual Destruction Pill
-Usage 1: Completely recover the Injuries and exhausted Strands of Fighter Qi immediately, the effect will gradually reduce in minutes, and two hours after consumption, the consumer cultivation will reduce by half.
-Usage 2: Allowed the user to obtain the ability to utilize Death Qi. Amount of Death Qi utilized will further increase the injuries and reduction of cultivation by 5% each time.
-Durability: 7/7
-Special: Instantly paralyzed consumer's sense of pain upon consumption.
"Damn! The Yantai County is seriously vicious!" It was a pitiful fact that they were destroyed, but in order to cover the fact of this deadly pill, they changed their name into a glorious Yantai Pill, known for their usage to instantly recover their injuries and replenish exhausted Fighter Qi. But no matter what, it was an immoral act to hide the side effect of the Yantai Pill from the public even if the pill were to meant to be taken at a life and death situation!
If he did not possess the ability to discern and read the true condition of the product he touches, perhaps even as a Pill Master himself, Zhang Wu Ji will still be deceived by the hidden fact behind this fake Recovery Pill. It wasn't qualified to be called as a Recovery Pills at all, but it was far more qualified to be called as a Forbidden Medicine! This truth was revealed to him indirectly, out of a coincidence.
But...
Does this fact... Worth destroying the fame after death the Yantai County received after so long? No matter what, the Yantai County still being worshipped as heroes among the humans, because of their sacrifice to fight against the Beast Infestation, only to end up as being swallowed completely, leaving no human alive within the whole piece of land.
"For the name of human's protector that had sacrificed themselves, I will let you keep this small hint of deceit down to your grave. But under my eyes, I will promise myself that this Yantai Pill that I concocted, will not be used by any of the people belonged to the Seven Star Sect in any situation!" Zhang Wu Ji decided. It was a painful decision to do so, but sometimes, the legend is what leads people to survive through times, and not the truth.
And at the same time, Zhang Wu Ji noticed another fact, which leads him to agree in one of his hypothesis. The destruction of the Yantai County was, in fact, a disaster caused by themselves, because of their approach and extreme cultivation in concocting their famous Yantai Pill.
Yin-Yang Mandrake Plant
-Usage 1: the Yin Yang Mandrake is sexless until they matured. Upon maturity, the medicinal effect within its body will be transformed into a precious medicinal ingredient, suitable to be concocted into many different kinds of Medicinal Pill due to their Yin and Yang harmonized quality.
-Usage 2: the Yin-Yang Mandrake Plant is a well sought after aphrodisiac coveted by the Beast because of their effectiveness and the ability to increase the count of copulation they can endure. A female Mandrake enhanced female beast conceiving and birth ability, and a Male Mandrake increase the amount of production and time they can copulate.
-Durability: 4/4
"I think, none of the residents inside the whole Yantai County does know the fact that the Mandrake Plant that they were so proud and massively cultivates throughout their land, was the reason their county was destroyed. The beast honestly cannot be blamed for this, because even a human might lose control when their sanity is already been controlled by lust, especially the whole Yantai County is cultivating them all over in their lands.
He can only describe the ending of the Beast Infestation as;
"War because of Lust, Death because of Exhaustion."
"In fact I do feel pity for the crowd of beast during their successful Infestation, but there should be a large number of casualties as well, due to the aphrodisiac." he feels like laughing because he successfully discern a truth, but it was an ironic incident, the moment he understands the fact hidden for so long.
"I should look for more knowledge and information related to the Yantai County's Mandrake Plant first. Since the description stated their harmonize Yin and Yang within the plant is suitable to concoct many medicines, there must be some hidden recipes that not many people know. Perhaps looking for their remains will be a good choice to start." he decides that no matter how dangerous the pill and the mandrake, they still worth a chance.
With 98 remaining Mandrake Plants remained, Zhang Wu Ji separates their differentiation, according to a set, and it was unfortunate there were only 14 remaining Male Mandrake Plants, and the other 84 belonged to the Female Mandrake Plant category. In the end, he only able to concoct fifteen Mutual Destruction Pills, or he decides to remain with the name Yantai Pill for now.
The remaining 70 Female Mandrakes plant are to be sold in the Free Market when it's possible because they will be no use for him at this moment. Instead of keeping them for another three months, it was a better suggestion to sell them for the prices of 1 Qi Sensing Pill each. It will worth 70 Qi Sensing Pills at the end of the day.
Next, it was the turn of the one and only Sun Facing Fruit.
Sun-Facing Fruit
Concentration: 82 units
Usage 1: The fruit essence extracted from the Sun Facing Fruit is a high-quality material to be concocted into Qi Sensing Pills. According to the scale, every 10 units of essence were worth 1 Qi Sensing Pill after completing the concoction.
Usage 2: The seed of the Sun Facing Fruit can be planted to bore fruit after three months.
Durability: 4/4
It was an easy task to concoct the Fruit Essence from the Sun Facing Fruit. All he needs will be to land a cut in the middle of the fruit and remove the seed which was as big as an avocado seed. The flesh of the fruit carries the texture similar to a sponge, whereby pressing them hard the juice inside of the fruit will be extracted.
To concoct the Qi Sensing Pill, the process must be done from a completely cold Pill Cauldron. The chances of failure are almost non-existent because the concoction process is too simple. By firing the cauldron and continue to stir their juices, the Qi Sensing Pill will slowly form. According to the senior Pill Masters that publish their own revision books, the concentration enzyme inside of the fruit essence is very likely to bond together when they were left under the stressful condition of heat.
As their maximum number of essence unit are 10, each of them will be combined in a size of ten and results in few marbles looking pills left inside of the cauldron when all the fruit extracts run dry. Normal fruit always carries over 70 units in their fruit, while some better fruit produced by the Imperial Kingdom are likely to yield the amount of 90 to 110 units in their fruit because of fertile land, Condensed Qi Atmosphere, and professional Botanist.
Not too long, he ends up eight Qi Sensing Pill richer, without any special note to be found from his handmade Qi Sensing Pills. After taking a proper rest, he started to works on the Yin Ling Fruit, which look like a peach but void of the seed inside of the fruit. Instead of having a seed inside, the Yin Ling Fruit is filled with pulps that hold the Yin Ling Fruit juices together.
The process is only allowed to be done by hand, where the next step after harvesting, is to peel the skin of the fruit like it was a pomelo fruit. The peel was then discarded to reveal its mesocarp, or also known as the white flesh layer of the fruit. By peeling them one side after another, it soon revealed the juicy vesicles, which the human name them pulps in his own world.
The process of extraction the juices were actually easier than its difficult descriptions mentioned by the recipe. By gently removing the central column that holds all the pulp together, Zhang Wu Ji easily extracts the juices from the fruit like a bubble is popped. That pull revealed the central column with many cork-like tips, which hold the juices in the pup together.
By removing the column, the juices flow into the cauldron. He then throws the remains into a basket and proceeds with the next fruit. Following the procedure stated by the recipe, a total of five Yin Ling Fruit is required to complete a cauldron of concoction, where it will then be fired and stirred, until it reaches the medicinal potency they required.
Following the instructions, the concoction quickly formed into a pile of powder, with seven pills remained at the bottom. Because the Yin Essence Pill possess the coldness that can sooth the clash of Yin and Yang element within a cultivator body, it was a commodity that was sought after by many cultivators, especially for those reckless cultivators that accidentally went out of control.
Yin Essence Pill
-Usage 1: Improve the body activities and enhance the metabolism rate. Overdose effect is non-existent.
-Usage 2: Balancing Yin and removing Yang. Female consumption will have no side effect. As for the male, an overdose of the Yin Essence Pill will cause hormone to unbalance, turning the male into a sissy for a while.
-Durability: 4/4
-Special: Usable as a temporary mediator for patient inflicted by serious Yang Element injuries or poison
"This pill effect is as usual again. It means that only the Yantai Pill effect has been tempered. The recipe must be either modified or changed due to some unspeakable reason. But that is not something I need to handle. As long I can control the usage of the Yantai Pill for those people close to me, it will be more than enough." Zhang Wu Ji reconsiders his thought while continue to make another batch of concoction.
The end results were positive enough, giving him a total of 75 Yin Essence Pills.
His final result were 24 Complete Taixia Qi Pills, 15 Yantai Pills, 8 Qi Sensing Pills, and finally 75 Yin Essence Pills. This concoction result was a very positive result for him, but the wastage of 70 Mandrake Plant still hurts him, because they were worth 35 pills if their number is evenly distributed. But sometimes luck does play an important role in this matter.
At the same time, a person finally returned from his task. Standing right before the door into his Pill Making Room, Bai Hei Tie stands there to wait for his master to come out. He was impatient to share what he got in his trip, but at the same time, hesitates to disturb him because the silence and calmness are important during Pill Concoction.
"Ah, Hei Tie, you came back? Did the arrangement for the mineral ores goes well?" Zhang Wu Ji met Bai Hei Tie the moment he opened the door from the inside. With that guy standing straight like a plank outside, it was impossible for him to not greet the subordinate.
"Master Senior, Hei Tie successfully made an order for ten batches of the mineral ores in their best quality to be delivered to the Seven Star Sect. At the same time, I collected a few of the refined materials for your inspection. This is all come from the Bai Village so I can assure that their quality is good enough." Bai Hei Tie quickly took out eight items, categorized into four different types.
[Pearl Silica Block], [Translucent Silica Block], [Chalcocite Block], [Malachite Blocks], [Jadeite Cubes], [Nephrite Stone], and finally, the [Kaolin Clay], and [Mined Bone]. [1]
"Four materials divided into eight different categories! I did not imagine before, but at least six of them were precious material that will obtain my attention!" Zhang Wu Ji happily inspects the material and scanned the quality of every single item placed on top of the table. He almost wanted to say;
"I took back my word about saying that the Bai Village's expertise is not dependable enough..."
But he decided to keep the thing in his heart instead of bringing that out because sometimes, a note made into a heart is better than speaking them out loud. It was his way to preserve the thin line that connects him and Bai Hei Tie together.
"This is great! All if the item were in a very excellent quality, and it was done within two weeks just for the sake of my inspection. Did you say that their delivery will come in ten different batches? That's a good news." Zhang Wu Ji happiness is no longer contained. His excited expression and tone even attract Tang Yuan, Xiao Hua, and Ya Pin to come out to have a look.
"Since everyone is here, come over." Zhang Wu Ji waved his hand to the other three and ordered them to come before him. With the four subordinates is here, Zhang Wu Ji withdraws five Complete Taixia Qi Pills, and five Yin Essence Pills out from two different jade bottles. Placing one pill on each and two Complete Taixia Qi Pills at Bai Hei Tie's palm and two Yin Essence Pills at Zhao Xiao Hua's palm, he gave them some instructions.
When the four subordinates listened to his instruction, how can they not be emotional? In fact, the weaker will Zhao Xiao Hua cried because their master just gave them a precious pill that can instantly give them one strand of Fighter Qi upon consumption, and the Yin Essence Pill that can improve their health and also balance the Yin and Yang Element within their body.
"Master, the two pills is too precious!" the four of them tried to return the pills back, but it was rejected with a palm standing straight before them.
"No rewards without effort. This is what you all qualified to get as long you willingly contributes on behalf of me. As long you remain productive, this kind of rewards will only get more and not less. Stop with all this too valuable and returning the pills to me because, in fact, they were concocted from the material you guys spend so much time to cultivates." Zhang Wu Ji convinced them that this was mere rewards for their works.
With those embarrassing sentences is said, Zhang Wu Ji left the four to decipher his words, while he returned to his room for a good rest. Of course, that is after he collected the eight items back to his room. With them placed on the table, Zhang Wu Ji concentrated his mind and collects his thought to consider something important.
But while he was deep inside of his thoughts, a commotion breaks in the northern part few hundred kilometers away from the Seven Star Sect.
"Are we ready?"
"Yes!"
"Everyone follow my lead! We will now clear the Wen Wu City treasury, and let us catch a few hundred to thousands of beauties to give birth to our lovely babies! Hah!" the leader of this troops of bandits speaks a few words to motivates his people before he whipped the buttock of the horse he's riding, and ride downhill.
These peoples were the members of the Lan Shan Clan, the bandits of the well known Orchid Mountains!
Leading them in the front were the three brothers of the Lan Shan Clan, Lan Shan Yi, the eldest third generation child, Lan Shan Yue, the second and only daughter of the Lan Shan Clan core members, and Lan Shan Yao, the third and pampered child of the Lan Shan Core Family.
The three of them are in their 17th, 18th, and 19th, and well known for their brutal and abusing manner, which destroyed three villages situated inside of the Orchid Mountain! With one thousand bandits lead by this three leader and also ten more Bandit Assistant leaders, they launch their attack, with two priority targets in their mind.

But when he looks at the description of this pill he just made, it was completely different from what he knows.Low-Quality Mutual Destruction Pill-Usage 1: Completely recover the Injuries and exhausted Strands of Fighter Qi immediately, the effect will gradually reduce in minutes, and two hours after consumption, the consumer cultivation will reduce by half.-Usage 2: Allowed the user to obtain the ability to utilize Death Qi. Amount of Death Qi utilized will further increase the injuries and reduction of cultivation by 5% each time.-Durability: 7/7-Special: Instantly paralyzed consumer's sense of pain upon consumption."Damn! The Yantai County is seriously vicious!" It was a pitiful fact that they were destroyed, but in order to cover the fact of this deadly pill, they changed their name into a glorious Yantai Pill, known for their usage to instantly recover their injuries and replenish exhausted Fighter Qi. But no matter what, it was an immoral act to hide the side effect of the Yantai Pill from the public even if the pill were to meant to be taken at a life and death situation!If he did not possess the ability to discern and read the true condition of the product he touches, perhaps even as a Pill Master himself, Zhang Wu Ji will still be deceived by the hidden fact behind this fake Recovery Pill. It wasn't qualified to be called as a Recovery Pills at all, but it was far more qualified to be called as a Forbidden Medicine! This truth was revealed to him indirectly, out of a coincidence.But...Does this fact... Worth destroying the fame after death the Yantai County received after so long? No matter what, the Yantai County still being worshipped as heroes among the humans, because of their sacrifice to fight against the Beast Infestation, only to end up as being swallowed completely, leaving no human alive within the whole piece of land."For the name of human's protector that had sacrificed themselves, I will let you keep this small hint of deceit down to your grave. But under my eyes, I will promise myself that this Yantai Pill that I concocted, will not be used by any of the people belonged to the Seven Star Sect in any situation!" Zhang Wu Ji decided. It was a painful decision to do so, but sometimes, the legend is what leads people to survive through times, and not the truth.And at the same time, Zhang Wu Ji noticed another fact, which leads him to agree in one of his hypothesis. The destruction of the Yantai County was, in fact, a disaster caused by themselves, because of their approach and extreme cultivation in concocting their famous Yantai Pill.Yin-Yang Mandrake Plant-Usage 1: the Yin Yang Mandrake is sexless until they matured. Upon maturity, the medicinal effect within its body will be transformed into a precious medicinal ingredient, suitable to be concocted into many different kinds of Medicinal Pill due to their Yin and Yang harmonized quality.-Usage 2: the Yin-Yang Mandrake Plant is a well sought after aphrodisiac coveted by the Beast because of their effectiveness and the ability to increase the count of copulation they can endure. A female Mandrake enhanced female beast conceiving and birth ability, and a Male Mandrake increase the amount of production and time they can copulate.-Durability: 4/4"I think, none of the residents inside the whole Yantai County does know the fact that the Mandrake Plant that they were so proud and massively cultivates throughout their land, was the reason their county was destroyed. The beast honestly cannot be blamed for this, because even a human might lose control when their sanity is already been controlled by lust, especially the whole Yantai County is cultivating them all over in their lands.He can only describe the ending of the Beast Infestation as;"War because of Lust, Death because of Exhaustion.""In fact I do feel pity for the crowd of beast during their successful Infestation, but there should be a large number of casualties as well, due to the aphrodisiac." he feels like laughing because he successfully discern a truth, but it was an ironic incident, the moment he understands the fact hidden for so long."I should look for more knowledge and information related to the Yantai County's Mandrake Plant first. Since the description stated their harmonize Yin and Yang within the plant is suitable to concoct many medicines, there must be some hidden recipes that not many people know. Perhaps looking for their remains will be a good choice to start." he decides that no matter how dangerous the pill and the mandrake, they still worth a chance.With 98 remaining Mandrake Plants remained, Zhang Wu Ji separates their differentiation, according to a set, and it was unfortunate there were only 14 remaining Male Mandrake Plants, and the other 84 belonged to the Female Mandrake Plant category. In the end, he only able to concoct fifteen Mutual Destruction Pills, or he decides to remain with the name Yantai Pill for now.The remaining 70 Female Mandrakes plant are to be sold in the Free Market when it's possible because they will be no use for him at this moment. Instead of keeping them for another three months, it was a better suggestion to sell them for the prices of 1 Qi Sensing Pill each. It will worth 70 Qi Sensing Pills at the end of the day.Next, it was the turn of the one and only Sun Facing Fruit.Sun-Facing FruitConcentration: 82 unitsUsage 1: The fruit essence extracted from the Sun Facing Fruit is a high-quality material to be concocted into Qi Sensing Pills. According to the scale, every 10 units of essence were worth 1 Qi Sensing Pill after completing the concoction.Usage 2: The seed of the Sun Facing Fruit can be planted to bore fruit after three months.Durability: 4/4It was an easy task to concoct the Fruit Essence from the Sun Facing Fruit. All he needs will be to land a cut in the middle of the fruit and remove the seed which was as big as an avocado seed. The flesh of the fruit carries the texture similar to a sponge, whereby pressing them hard the juice inside of the fruit will be extracted.To concoct the Qi Sensing Pill, the process must be done from a completely cold Pill Cauldron. The chances of failure are almost non-existent because the concoction process is too simple. By firing the cauldron and continue to stir their juices, the Qi Sensing Pill will slowly form. According to the senior Pill Masters that publish their own revision books, the concentration enzyme inside of the fruit essence is very likely to bond together when they were left under the stressful condition of heat.As their maximum number of essence unit are 10, each of them will be combined in a size of ten and results in few marbles looking pills left inside of the cauldron when all the fruit extracts run dry. Normal fruit always carries over 70 units in their fruit, while some better fruit produced by the Imperial Kingdom are likely to yield the amount of 90 to 110 units in their fruit because of fertile land, Condensed Qi Atmosphere, and professional Botanist.Not too long, he ends up eight Qi Sensing Pill richer, without any special note to be found from his handmade Qi Sensing Pills. After taking a proper rest, he started to works on the Yin Ling Fruit, which look like a peach but void of the seed inside of the fruit. Instead of having a seed inside, the Yin Ling Fruit is filled with pulps that hold the Yin Ling Fruit juices together.The process is only allowed to be done by hand, where the next step after harvesting, is to peel the skin of the fruit like it was a pomelo fruit. The peel was then discarded to reveal its mesocarp, or also known as the white flesh layer of the fruit. By peeling them one side after another, it soon revealed the juicy vesicles, which the human name them pulps in his own world.The process of extraction the juices were actually easier than its difficult descriptions mentioned by the recipe. By gently removing the central column that holds all the pulp together, Zhang Wu Ji easily extracts the juices from the fruit like a bubble is popped. That pull revealed the central column with many cork-like tips, which hold the juices in the pup together.By removing the column, the juices flow into the cauldron. He then throws the remains into a basket and proceeds with the next fruit. Following the procedure stated by the recipe, a total of five Yin Ling Fruit is required to complete a cauldron of concoction, where it will then be fired and stirred, until it reaches the medicinal potency they required.Following the instructions, the concoction quickly formed into a pile of powder, with seven pills remained at the bottom. Because the Yin Essence Pill possess the coldness that can sooth the clash of Yin and Yang element within a cultivator body, it was a commodity that was sought after by many cultivators, especially for those reckless cultivators that accidentally went out of control.Yin Essence Pill-Usage 1: Improve the body activities and enhance the metabolism rate. Overdose effect is non-existent.-Usage 2: Balancing Yin and removing Yang. Female consumption will have no side effect. As for the male, an overdose of the Yin Essence Pill will cause hormone to unbalance, turning the male into a sissy for a while.-Durability: 4/4-Special: Usable as a temporary mediator for patient inflicted by serious Yang Element injuries or poison"This pill effect is as usual again. It means that only the Yantai Pill effect has been tempered. The recipe must be either modified or changed due to some unspeakable reason. But that is not something I need to handle. As long I can control the usage of the Yantai Pill for those people close to me, it will be more than enough." Zhang Wu Ji reconsiders his thought while continue to make another batch of concoction.The end results were positive enough, giving him a total of 75 Yin Essence Pills.His final result were 24 Complete Taixia Qi Pills, 15 Yantai Pills, 8 Qi Sensing Pills, and finally 75 Yin Essence Pills. This concoction result was a very positive result for him, but the wastage of 70 Mandrake Plant still hurts him, because they were worth 35 pills if their number is evenly distributed. But sometimes luck does play an important role in this matter.At the same time, a person finally returned from his task. Standing right before the door into his Pill Making Room, Bai Hei Tie stands there to wait for his master to come out. He was impatient to share what he got in his trip, but at the same time, hesitates to disturb him because the silence and calmness are important during Pill Concoction."Ah, Hei Tie, you came back? Did the arrangement for the mineral ores goes well?" Zhang Wu Ji met Bai Hei Tie the moment he opened the door from the inside. With that guy standing straight like a plank outside, it was impossible for him to not greet the subordinate."Master Senior, Hei Tie successfully made an order for ten batches of the mineral ores in their best quality to be delivered to the Seven Star Sect. At the same time, I collected a few of the refined materials for your inspection. This is all come from the Bai Village so I can assure that their quality is good enough." Bai Hei Tie quickly took out eight items, categorized into four different types.Pearl Silica Block, Translucent Silica Block, Chalcocite Block, Malachite Blocks, Jadeite Cubes, Nephrite Stone, and finally, the Kaolin Clay, and Mined Bone. 1"Four materials divided into eight different categories! I did not imagine before, but at least six of them were precious material that will obtain my attention!" Zhang Wu Ji happily inspects the material and scanned the quality of every single item placed on top of the table. He almost wanted to say;"I took back my word about saying that the Bai Village's expertise is not dependable enough..."But he decided to keep the thing in his heart instead of bringing that out because sometimes, a note made into a heart is better than speaking them out loud. It was his way to preserve the thin line that connects him and Bai Hei Tie together."This is great! All if the item were in a very excellent quality, and it was done within two weeks just for the sake of my inspection. Did you say that their delivery will come in ten different batches? That's a good news." Zhang Wu Ji happiness is no longer contained. His excited expression and tone even attract Tang Yuan, Xiao Hua, and Ya Pin to come out to have a look."Since everyone is here, come over." Zhang Wu Ji waved his hand to the other three and ordered them to come before him. With the four subordinates is here, Zhang Wu Ji withdraws five Complete Taixia Qi Pills, and five Yin Essence Pills out from two different jade bottles. Placing one pill on each and two Complete Taixia Qi Pills at Bai Hei Tie's palm and two Yin Essence Pills at Zhao Xiao Hua's palm, he gave them some instructions.When the four subordinates listened to his instruction, how can they not be emotional? In fact, the weaker will Zhao Xiao Hua cried because their master just gave them a precious pill that can instantly give them one strand of Fighter Qi upon consumption, and the Yin Essence Pill that can improve their health and also balance the Yin and Yang Element within their body."Master, the two pills is too precious!" the four of them tried to return the pills back, but it was rejected with a palm standing straight before them."No rewards without effort. This is what you all qualified to get as long you willingly contributes on behalf of me. As long you remain productive, this kind of rewards will only get more and not less. Stop with all this too valuable and returning the pills to me because, in fact, they were concocted from the material you guys spend so much time to cultivates." Zhang Wu Ji convinced them that this was mere rewards for their works.With those embarrassing sentences is said, Zhang Wu Ji left the four to decipher his words, while he returned to his room for a good rest. Of course, that is after he collected the eight items back to his room. With them placed on the table, Zhang Wu Ji concentrated his mind and collects his thought to consider something important.But while he was deep inside of his thoughts, a commotion breaks in the northern part few hundred kilometers away from the Seven Star Sect."Are we ready?""Yes!""Everyone follow my lead! We will now clear the Wen Wu City treasury, and let us catch a few hundred to thousands of beauties to give birth to our lovely babies! Hah!" the leader of this troops of bandits speaks a few words to motivates his people before he whipped the buttock of the horse he's riding, and ride downhill.These peoples were the members of the Lan Shan Clan, the bandits of the well known Orchid Mountains!Leading them in the front were the three brothers of the Lan Shan Clan, Lan Shan Yi, the eldest third generation child, Lan Shan Yue, the second and only daughter of the Lan Shan Clan core members, and Lan Shan Yao, the third and pampered child of the Lan Shan Core Family.The three of them are in their 17th, 18th, and 19th, and well known for their brutal and abusing manner, which destroyed three villages situated inside of the Orchid Mountain! With one thousand bandits lead by this three leader and also ten more Bandit Assistant leaders, they launch their attack, with two priority targets in their mind.Wen Wu City's Resident BankAnd...Apprentice Hall!-----1.Pearl Silica = White Mica in our real life. It was used as a material often added to make paint pigments, constructions, and many things.-Translucent Silica = Clear Calcite in real life. The calcite was made into many ways in pharmaceutical, constructions, and also as reiki healing crystals for some practitioners.-Chalcocite Block = one of the most important copper mineral, which categorized as Sulfide Minerals. In this novel, it will be treated as a raw material before they were refined into a proper high-quality Copper Ingots.-Malachite Block = also one of the most important copper mineral, categorized as Carbonated Minerals. The malachite carries a more crystalline appearance, which in the novel it will be treated as Crystal Copper, a greener crystal version used mainly not for a weapon, but as accessories.-Jadeite / Nephrite = this two is still jade, but their differences vary in Creamier Green color for Jadeite and Heavier Green Tone for Nephrite. In our world, Jade was a crystal that not able to combine into a bigger piece with a high technology to perform the gluing process, but since this is a novel with imagination, expect none common sense fact.-Kaolin Clay = a nature Clay mineral, or also more likely to be known as "China Clay" to the world. The Kaolin Clay carries a more Iron like hue, and some lighter color like white, yellow, and light orange. If you search them in Wikipedia, their uses are expanded into many, like ceramics, toothpaste, and also medicine.-Mined Bone = Bone ash in our life, it was a material that formed from calcinated animal bones. It was used in the creation of Bone China wares, but in this novel, their natural become Mined Bone, a Calcinated bones like material that came from nature, and in this fact, for now, it was from the Mineral Vein indirectly. I hope this answers your question, my dear reader Gortox.
