Chapter 1904 Cooperation 5
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Chaoyan decided to thoroughly search every nook and cranny, afraid that she might overlook a corner where Huang Fu could be hiding. He could be either in the study or within the spatial realm, but he had to be somewhere in that vicinity.
Despite frequently visiting the study, she had never paid much attention to Huang Fu, as they had little interaction and she didn't particularly desire any. In fact, she often felt relieved when he was absent. However, given the recent events that had entangled the two of them, she now felt anxious about his absence.
Gu Chaoyan meticulously combed through every corner, but Huang Fu was nowhere to be found.
Could it be that he had sufficient magical power and had gone out to attend to some errands?
That was a possibility. However, why hadn't he informed her before leaving? Huang Fu was usually quite nagging, and his sudden departure without notice was out of character.
Gu Chaoyan couldn't shake off her unease.
Deciding to wait for him, she began crafting pills. Now that the deal with Haitian Auction House had been finalized, she had to produce a significant quantity of pills. Being the sole pill-maker, time was of the essence.
In addition to the face-changing pills, she also needed to refine other varieties.
Perusing the alchemy book in the study, Gu Chaoyan discovered a section on Invisibility Pills. Although she hadn't initially planned to make them, the young man she had encountered outside the market possessed a half-finished version. Since the incomplete formula was already out there, she could produce the authentic Invisibility Pills. Furthermore, she decided to give some to Huaijin and Sword One so they could escape in case of an emergency.
However…
Gu Chaoyan realized that she didn't have any Spirit Stones on hand for the pill refinement process.
After some contemplation, Gu Chaoyan decided to begin with refining the face-changing pills. Once she finished one batch, she would venture out to acquire the necessary Spirit Stones.
She immersed herself in the art of alchemy.
Six hours passed during the refining process.
With the pills in hand, Gu Chaoyan continued her search throughout the spatial realm, yet Huang Fu remained elusive. Her worry only deepened.
After some consideration, Gu Chaoyan left a message in the study before venturing out alone to seek a place where she could purchase Spirit Stones.
As she made her way out of the room, she inquired, "Where can I find Spirit Stones?"
The shop owner responded candidly, "Spirit Stones? They're everywhere. What kind are you looking for? I have some ordinary ones, but if you're after the good ones, you should try the stone gambling store. If luck is on your side, you might get your hands on some high-quality ones. The magical power contained within those is even superior to that of high-grade pills."
"…," Gu Chaoyan contemplated the response.
"However, the ordinary Spirit Stones are like the golden knives of Haitian. They're quite common and possess magical power, albeit not as potent."
The shop owner, an honest individual, spoke the truth. Although Gu Chaoyan didn't fully grasp the implications, she appreciated his straightforwardness.
Recalling what she had read in the alchemy book, Gu Chaoyan understood that high-quality Spirit Stones were ideal for crafting the Invisibility Pills, but ordinary Spirit Stones could serve the same purpose, albeit with lesser effect.
