Maiden Of The Splitting Moon

The Immortal Siren Flower, a rank 5 treasure that was incredibly rare, especially considering how long it has been maturing for. It was most likely at the thousand year range and that made it quite powerful. It was no wonder that a rank 6 beast had been guarding it.

Ming Yue moved towards the Medicinal Hall to find Elder Hua.

If anyone knew how to use this it would be her.

Upon arriving, she entered and found Elder Hua focused on her work.

With several cauldrons at work, some were bubbling away while others had been closed shut. Elder Hua stood on a stool, looking within one of the cauldrons from above.

Ming Yue was never interested in learning pill-making. It was expensive and time consuming, one could make money just as easily as they could lose it. Still, she found the process somewhat captivating, magical.

Elder Hua was focused on the cauldron. Both of her hands were at opposite sides, feeding the bubbling mixture her energy. The teal colored liquid swirled around, transforming into mist before condensing into a batch of pills. Six in total, they sported the same teal color and clarity.

She emptied the contents, holding up the pills to her eyes before placing them within a bag.

The elder turned around and stepped off of the stool, noticing Ming Yue watching her.

"Oh, when were you here? How long have you been watching?"

Elder Hua walked briskly towards a shelf that span the entirety of a wall. She grabbed a ladder, wheeling it to the center before climbing up. Reaching the higher levels, she pulled out one of the small drawers and the bag of teal pills were dropped in.

"I had just come recently, it's only been a few minutes. I came here for some help."

The elder stepped down the ladder with a friendly smile.

"What do you need help with?"

Ming Yue looked aorund to see if there was anyone else before pulling out the Immortal Siren Flower.

Elder Hua's eyes lit up and she gave an audible gasp before her lips pursed together.

"Oooooh, where did you find this?"

She walked up to Ming Yue and took the flower. Looking closely, the elder spun it around, admiring the vibrant glows that it gave off. The gentle aura from the flower coaxed her in.

"You might just be the luckiest girl ever!" excitedly, the elder seemed to jump with joy.

"An Immortal Siren Flower, one of few things that can beautify someone! It wouldn't matter if you were the ugliest woman or the prettiest one, this flower will find a way to make you dazzling. To make things even better, this is over a thousand years old. It might be around three thousand years even. The colors of the petal are extremely vivid. At a hundred years, the stem of the flower begins to glow, by five hundred, the petals brighten up and by a thousand years, the flower emits a gentle aura. It is said that at ten thousand years, the flower would reveal a much prettier image of oneself, a result one would get should they use this flower!..."

Watching her babble on, Ming Yue listened to her and waited for the elder's excitement to subside. Minutes later, Elder Hua had run out of things to say and finally calmed down.

Finding her chance, Ming Yue spoke up about her request.

"A way to increase its strength in exchange for the beauty effect?! Don't tell me you're serious?"

Elder Hua was shocked, this flower was a dream to many female as well as some male cultivators.

It was often that one would forgo the cultivation boost in order to keep the beautification effect. Yet, Ming Yue wanted the opposite of this. She really could not fathom why Ming Yue chose to do this.

Even she desired this flower to some extent, though with her age it was probably a waste.

Ming Yue nodded.

"I'd rather much have that than the beauty effect. I need to improve my cultivation for the tournament", she was fully intent on this.

With or without Elder Xiang's instructions to defeat Li Baojun, she had already planned on using the flower this way.

Elder Hua could see the resoluteness within her and sighed.

"Oh, the Heavenly Gate Tournament, I see. Well then, this flower can be used for two recipes: the Extreme Charm Pill and the Immortal Enchantress Pill. Both of them are Rank 5 pills that should have a significan effect on you. The former will forgo the cultivation effect in order to magnify the beauty effect. The latter is a balance between the cultivation and the beauty. Unfortunately, no one has created a pill that relinquishes the beauty for the power. It is quite difficult to do so and well, no one has really thought about using the flower like this."

"Really?" Ming Yue was surprised, to think there was no recipe to improve its power.

"Yes, after all, what makes the flower unique is its effect on one's beauty. There are hundreds of other plants that could match its strength but few have that property. Thus, there are only these two pill recipes."

Ming Yue began to think, should she save it for another time or use it now?

"Then what would it take to create the Immortal Enchantress Pill? What sort of pill is it?" she asked.

Upon hearing her question, the elder walked though the Medicinal Hall and grabbed one of the books.

"Let me see here... Ah, the Immortal Enchantress Pill, it requires the Immortal Siren Flower, six stalks of Blood Leaf, a High Spirit Sapling, and water infused with Gold Source Berries. All of these items are rank 4 except for the the High Spirit Sapling which is Rank 5. We do have everything but the Gold Source Berries. it shouldn't be too hard to obtain. The pill itself balances the beauty with the power. With that said, the energy within it is gentle and quite easy to absorb though you must have force it to permeate your skin then flesh and finally you internal organs. Doing so would maximise its effects on you."

Elder Hua looked at Ming Yue after reading off of the book.

She was thinking quite hard about this situation. Was it worth saving it for something else? But what would she be saving it for? These two pills were the only things that this flower could be used for. If she didn't use it now, then what else could she use?

As she spent time contemplating her decisions. The elder began flipping through a few pages, looking confused.

"Hmm, strange. I thought there were only two pills but it seems that there is a a third", she said.

Ming Yue's ears perked up, "What? Can you tell me about it?"

"Yes, though reading through it, This pill is quite shocking. I was surprised to see that there was another recipe but I can see why I forgot about it. It is too difficult to procure all of the ingredients. The bones of a Crescent Cloud Wolf, a Flicker Starfruit, a Radiant Carnation, and a Lightning Dao Root are needed. Not to mention the other items, but a Lightning Dao Root is already difficult enough and it has to be a thousand years old at least. A Crescent Cloud Wolf is an illusive rank 5 beast, who wanders as freely as the clouds. The Flicker Starfruit and the Radiant Carnation are both rank 5 treasures that cannot be easily obtained either. The only good thing is that you can find them all in one place."

A lightning dao root? Didn't she have one of those already? Ming Yue was already extremely interested in this pill just from hearing the recipe. In her mind, she knew that this is the pill she needed.

"What is the pill called? Where can I find the rest of the ingredients?"

"It is called the Thunderous Fairy Pill and to the things you need, you have to traverse to the Merciless Storm Peak."
