Protecting Yun Chi, Part I
This was not Wu Jian’s first time witnessing someone refine a pill, but it was the first time he had seen a platinum rank alchemist do it.
Master Yun Chi had taken out a cauldron, smaller than the one Wu Jian had seen in his office. This one looked to be made of jade. Its pure white color made it seem almost translucent. Vents ran along the sides, intricately sculpted into the surface. There was no lid. A cap near the top opened up so Master Yun Chi could place ingredients inside.
“I demand absolute silence while I work. You must also be sure to protect me. Do not let those soulforge replicas anywhere near this place,” Master Yun Chi had said.
“We’ll scout the perimeters to make sure they don’t come near you,” Tang Tiantian said. She gestured toward the last two members of her party. “Come on, you two. We’re going to check the area.”
