Chapter 233 Imitation Pills
However, in order to avoid alerting the men in black and making them aware that they were being followed, Su Yue used her mental power to firmly lock onto the men in black in front of her.
At the same time, she deliberately slowed down her flight speed, hanging far behind the man in black.
As she continued her pursuit, Su Yue's doubts grew stronger.
The fact that the man in black seemed to be heading towards the Gu residence was too much of a coincidence.
Sure enough, the man in black appeared like a ghost and instantly disappeared into the courtyard where Madam Gu and Jiang Ying lived.
Upon seeing this, Su Yue couldn't help but think: These men in black came looking for her. Since they've already followed her here, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity if she didn't listen to what kind of bad ideas they were up to?
Thinking of this, Su Yue smiled slyly and quietly found a secluded corner to hide herself.
Even though they were some distance apart, Su Yue could still clearly hear the conversation between the man in black and Jiang Ying inside the room.
So she held her breath and listened intently.
At this moment, the voice of the man in black came from inside the room: "Madam Gu, this is what the master asked me to give you."
As he spoke, he carefully took out a small, exquisite porcelain bottle from his pocket and respectfully handed it to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying reached out and took the porcelain bottle, but instead of opening it, she held it tightly in her hand.
At the same time, she asked anxiously, "Brother, is there anything else you want to say?"
The mysterious man dressed in black nodded slightly and said softly, "My master said you can rest assured about the young master's matter."
As soon as she finished speaking, a relieved smile instantly bloomed on Jiang Ying's face, and the huge weight that had been hanging over her heart finally fell to the ground.
"I understand, you can go back now!" Jiang Ying waved excitedly, indicating that the man in black could leave.
Upon receiving the order, the man in black respectfully replied, "Yes."
Then, like a ghost, it vanished into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
Meanwhile, Su Yue, who was eavesdropping in the shadows, was filled with doubt. She couldn't understand why someone would deliver a small porcelain bottle and convey a simple message in the middle of the night. It was truly perplexing.
Logically speaking, one could easily choose to come openly during the day, so why choose this particular time?
Su Yue felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it. "Hmph, that wicked woman is definitely up to no good, acting so suspiciously in the middle of the night!"
No one knows what's in that porcelain bottle, that the man in black would come to deliver it in the middle of the night.
Su Yue stopped in her tracks and did not continue to chase after the vanished man in black.
She decided to wait outside until Jiang Ying fell asleep.
Time passed second by second, and finally, a soft snore came from inside the room. Su Yue knew that the time had come.
She slipped into the house silently and, by the faint moonlight, opened the cabinet where the porcelain bottle was hidden.
However, she did not open it rashly, but cautiously probed it with her mental power.
"Huh!" Su Yue couldn't help but exclaim softly, because through her spiritual exploration, she discovered that there was actually a pill inside the small porcelain bottle.
Filled with curiosity, she opened the lid of the porcelain bottle and used her mental power to control the pill to slowly float out of the bottle.
Just then, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted over.
Su Yue frowned slightly, trying hard to recall this familiar taste.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind: "This medicinal fragrance... why does it feel slightly similar to the Marrow Cleansing Pill in my space?"
To confirm her judgment, she leaned closer and smelled it carefully.
Indeed, there is a subtle connection between the two.
What surprised Su Yue even more was that this pill was clearly refined in a pill furnace.
This discovery made her feel both fortunate and apprehensive.
After all, she had reservations about this capital city before, and had not revealed her location.
The appearance of this pill now undoubtedly proves that there are cultivators here.
So the question is, where did this pill come from?
Could it be that Jiang Ying's brother had someone else make it, or did he make it himself?
If it really is someone else, then is the person who delivered the medicine a cultivator?
If Jiang Ying's brother has how many cultivators in the Imperial Preceptor's Hall?
Countless questions flooded her mind, and Su Yue knew she had to find out the answers.
This was because it not only concerned her own safety, but was also the first piece of information she had received about cultivators since arriving in this strange world.
Without hesitation, Su Yue put the counterfeit Marrow Cleansing Pill into her spatial storage. A goat that was feeding sheep in the space found a sheep dropping of about the same size and put it in.
Finally, the porcelain vase was put back in its original position.
When Su Yue returned to the courtyard, Dali and Gu Yuan were already resting inside the house.
After Su Yue entered the house, she closed the door from the inside and then went into her spatial dimension.
Since meeting Gu Yuan, she has rarely come in.
Upon entering the space, Su Yue couldn't wait to take out the meticulously crafted imitation Marrow Cleansing Pill.
She held the pill in her palm and examined it carefully; the surface of the pill in her hand was not very smooth.
Su Yue brought the pill close to her nose and sniffed it gently, trying to distinguish the various medicines contained within through her sense of smell.
A moment later, a look of realization appeared on her face. No wonder there was a slight resemblance; it turned out that this pill contained a medicinal herb called Wuxuan Fruit.
This fruit can indeed be used to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but...
Thinking of this, Su Yue shook her head slightly, her gaze falling once again on the pill.
Clearly, apart from the Black Mystic Fruit, the other medicines were utterly worthless in her eyes, not even worth as much as garbage.
Although she had never refined pills, she had memorized all the pill refining techniques and formulas she could find in the space, so these ordinary medicinal herbs were simply not worth her attention.
Nevertheless, Su Yue still greatly appreciated the idea of using the Black Profound Fruit to replace the more precious and rare Black God Fruit.
After all, this ingenious idea is indeed unique, but unfortunately the other medicines used in combination with it are of poor quality, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the entire pill.
You should know that a real Marrow Cleansing Pill has an amazing ability to transform one's body after consumption.
It can not only completely improve a person's physical constitution and talent, but also bring many benefits to their future cultivation path.
If this person can find enough rare medicinal herbs with spiritual energy in this world, he might be able to successfully refine a high-quality Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; this world seemed devoid of spirit.
This Imperial Preceptor's Hall is quite impressive; it seems I should go and take a look.
Su Yue placed the pills in a porcelain bottle on a separate shelf and then left the space.
Lying in bed, I wondered if Jiang Ying would discover that the pills had been switched.
