Inside the Blood Spirit Stone, the blood of a great cultivator was sealed. Generally, only the blood of a True Immortal or a higher-level great cultivator could form a Blood Spirit Stone.
For Ye Tian, this Blood Spirit Stone was a rare treasure, immeasurably valuable. The immortal spiritual energy contained within it would greatly help Ye Tian improve his cultivation.
He cleaned the Blood Spirit Stone and then placed it in a glass bottle. Through the glass, he activated his divine sense, penetrating into the Blood Spirit Stone.
Stimulated by the divine sense, a portion of the blood within the Blood Spirit Stone immediately broke through the stone's surface and seeped into the water through microscopic, capillary-like纹路.
He saw the water turn a pale gold, filled with spiritual energy, and a layer of purple mist rising from the surface.
When he felt it was sufficient, he found a stoppered bottle and poured the water into it. Then, he wiped the Blood Spirit Stone clean and placed it in a box.
The water in the bottle could not be consumed. Although it was energy that had seeped from the blood of a great cultivator, a portion of it could not be absorbed by Ye Tian. If he were to consume it rashly, he could very likely die from poisoning.
He went to the backyard, where the newly delivered alchemy furnace was placed. He opened the furnace and, working through the night, refined ten "White Pills."
The refinement of White Pills was relatively easy. They were made from twenty-four basic medicinal herbs. Because they were grayish-white, they were called White Pills. The function of White Pills was to serve as a medicinal base, used to absorb the efficacy of other herbs, hence they were also called base pills.
After refining the White Pills, Ye Tian tied them with a thin string and suspended them in the bottle containing the pale golden water, sealing the bottle at the same time.
It could be seen that the bottle was filled with swirling mist, and wisps of golden mist were slowly seeping into the White Pills and being absorbed by them.
This was a method of capturing medicinal power. After seven days, the White Pills would be saturated with the beneficial energy for Ye Tian's cultivation.
By the time he finished all this, it was already past midnight. He rested for two hours before getting up to wash, and then eat breakfast.
Lin Ziyi had been staying at the Ye family's home for the past few days. She said, "Tian Ge, I'm going to the capital this afternoon."
Ye Tian asked, "Business trip?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "Yes, the clinical trial approval for the new drug has been consistently denied. I need to go and find out why."
Ye Tian commented, "If it's denied, it must have been blocked."
Lin Ziyi said, "I'm not sure yet. I'll know when I get there."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said, "This afternoon, I'll accompany you."
Lin Ziyi was delighted. "Tian Ge, you're going too?"
Ye Tian replied, "I happen to have some business in the capital, so we can go together."
Ye Tian indeed had business. He had promised Yang Qingxue, the second daughter of the Yang family, that he would go to the capital. Additionally, he was scheduled to consult with Li Zhuguo.
Lin Ziyi said, "That's great! I'll be bored alone. With you accompanying me, I can stay in the capital for a few more days."
In the morning, Ye Tian went to work as usual. He took leave from the dean and accompanied Lin Ziyi onto the high-speed train to the capital.
High-speed rail was very developed now. A journey of over a thousand kilometers could be covered by high-speed rail in just three hours.
After the train had been traveling for a while, Lin Ziyi lay down on Ye Tian's lap. Ye Tian massaged her shoulders. The comfortable feeling spread throughout her body, and Lin Ziyi soon felt sleepy.
After sleeping for half an hour, Lin Ziyi sat up and asked, "Tian Ge, we haven't had lunch yet. But I don't want to eat train food."
Ye Tian replied, "I brought some snacks. We can make do with this."
He took out some pastries from his bag, and they ate them simply to fill their stomachs.
At this moment, a male passenger sitting not far away kept glancing at Lin Ziyi. He then took out his phone and sent a message: "High-class goods, accompanied by a male."
Soon, a reply came: "Follow her, report her location at all times."
Finally, the high-speed train arrived in the capital. After exiting the station, Ye Tian hailed a taxi and headed to the hotel.
The hotel had been booked by Lin Ziyi. It was located more than twenty kilometers from the high-speed train station and was her carefully chosen accommodation, with a very nice environment.
After the taxi, another car followed, with the two vehicles arriving at the hotel one after another. While Lin Ziyi was checking in, the man also entered. He sat in the lobby and sent another message: "Location confirmed, send people over as soon as possible."
