Chapter 16: A Pile of Scraps

After Xiao Qianhan ate breakfast, Xu Yuman left the room. 

Xiao Qianhan consumed the Heavenly Fungus Herb in the presence of Xu Yuman. After waiting for a while, Xu Yuman sighed and left upon seeing the wounds on her daughter’s face which hadn’t recovered at all.

Qianzi promptly appeared after Xu Yuman left.

Qianzi clenched her fist and gnashed her teeth in anger as she said, “What kind of person does she think she is? How dare she look down on Mistress! It’s not that Mistress cannot cultivate, it’s just that their method of testing can’t measure Mistress’ talent!”    

“Are the elixirs you took out earlier the only ones left?” Xiao Qianhan had never doubted that she would be able to cultivate. She might be a wastrel, but she believed that she would be able to cultivate as long as she has an unwavering confidence. Hearing Qianzi’s words, Xiao Qianhan became more determined that she could cultivate. Furthermore, it seemed like she was more talented than Xiao Yuluo. But that wasn’t her concern right now. 

Qianzi nodded. “Yes, that’s all. My former master was so very lazy that concocting the elixirs once a year was considered diligent for him. He wouldn’t concoct any elixirs unless he needed to. The ones I gave you were those I stored secretly.”   

Xian Qianhan slightly knitted her brows. “If I sell some of them, I should be able to get a lot of money. Though it’s somewhat a pity.”  

“What, what? Mistress, are you going to sell these elixirs? Please don’t! These elixirs are the high-grade ones. It is probable that there are less than two individuals on the Green Feather Continent who could concoct the high-grade elixirs! Mistress, wait for me. If you want to sell elixirs, I’ll go to the pile of scraps to get some.” Upon finishing her words, Qianzi’s tiny figure disappeared just like that.

“Scraps?” Xiao Qianhan was dumbfounded for a moment before suddenly recalling that Qianzi used to tell her that every elixir sold in the pharmacy outside was a scrap…   

Could it be that those elixirs which can’t be bought for 1000 gold for many people were just scraps for Qianzi?

Qianzi was covered all over in dust for a short while. She came out again with a large sack in her hands, which was one head taller than her.

“Pfff! It’s so dirty, so dirty. I haven’t touched that pile of scraps for 1000 years. Mistress, these are scraps. Sell these! Just sell these!” Qianzi was afraid that Xiao Qianhan would think of selling these high-grade elixirs, thus, she anxiously pointed to the large sack on the ground.

“These scraps could be sold. For example, the Appearance Flourishing Elixir inside. The quality is much better than those being sold outside!” Qianzi struck her chest as a gesture of guarantee. The high-grade ones could be given to her mistress to take later. Her mistress should be able to concoct these high-grade elixirs in no time. 

Xiao Qianhan blinked as she stared at the sack filled with scraps. Looking at the color, it seemed to be of a better grade than the Appearance Flourishing Elixir her father brought back yesterday. “Give me one of the Appearance Flourishing Elixir. I want to check if it would still work after being set aside for a thousand years.” 

“Mistress, you mustn’t try it!” Qianzi shook her head without thinking.

“Why?”

“Mistress’ physique is special. These low-grade elixirs would be useless if you take it. Only the high-grade ones would work on you.” Qianzi explained.

Xiao Qianhan went silent. Special physique? What is so special about my physique?

“I can’t explain why either. I simply know that only people with special physique could become the master of the Thousands Cauldron Mark. It takes thousands of years for a person with a special physique to show up in the Green Feather Continent.” Qianzi explained.

Not even Qianzi had any idea why. Xiao Qianhan didn’t think further and she immediately took the high-grade Appearance Flourishing Elixir and Thousand Strands Elixir. 

Suddenly, an unexpected situation happened! 

Be it the wounds on her face or body, all of them instantly recovered. Her ruptured tendons grew back with unimaginable speed and became stronger than ever!

As it turned out, this was the miraculous effect of the high-grade elixirs!
