Chapter 351: Pill Refiner.

Annabeth led Haru down the main street of the city in silence as she wasn't ready to talk with so many people listening in. Although it was late at night, the town had yet to die down as many stalls were still open as they tried to sell the remainder of their product's to whoever walked past.

Haru picked up an apple on his way past and tossed one of the golden coins that Annabeth had given to him towards the shopkeeper who gasped in excitement before shouting thank you. 

Although the fruit looked to be normal in every sense, Haru could tell that it was far from normal as he could feel the power coming from it. 

He wasn't used to feeling True Qi at all but he assumed that it was probably responsible for the power he felt emerging from the fruit as it was the same as what he felt coming from the alcohol he had just drunk.

It seemed like everything on this planet consisted of True Qi and that meant that whether they liked it or not, each person that lived on the planet would become a cultivator unless their dantain was destroyed since the True Qi in their food would build a dantian for them.

But despite that fact, if they really wanted to excel in cultivation they would have to learn techniques and focus on gathering as much strength as humanly possible. Haru took the time as they walked to familiarise himself with the town that seemed more like a city with its sheer size alone, not to mention the population as he watched hundreds of people walk past despite it being late at night.

But that wasn't too surprising given that cultivators of Haru's current level didn't require sleep to survive so they would rather spend the night cultivating to get stronger. Although the sane couldn't be said for the children of the town as he didn't see a single one of them.

Being in a world where it seemed that they were about as technologically advanced as the 13th century made Haru miss the luxuries that he had back on earth such as being able to use his phone as a map or calling people that he wanted to contact but he assumed that the quickest way to contact someone here would be to simply fly to them unless there was something that he had yet to know about that was able to send messages quicker than a cultivator could fly.

They walked for what seemed like ever before finally ending up in a quiet part of the town where the only people around were drunks sleeping in alleyways before Annabeth spoke to him.

"Guards! Stand back. I want to have a word alone with Luo Yang." Annabeth shouted out which gained a look of disapproval from a few of the guards but as she stared at them, they soon took a few steps back and secured the area to make sure that no trouble would come to their boss.

"So, Luo Yang You said you wanted to know about pill refining right? That means that you are actually able to refine pills right?" Annabeth asked as Haru began to feel as though she was trying to threaten him as she looked at him for a few moments before seeing the imposing glare in his eyes before looking down at the ground in fear.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to pull anything on you. It's just that you said you were looking for work and It so happens that my family is in dire need of someone who can refine pills but ever since the alliance started capturing them it's been nearly impossible to have pills made for you unless you have connections with them." Annabeth explained as she thought that Haru was going to kill her from the look in his eyes alone but that seemed to calm Haru down as his demeanour became more approachable.

"So you want someone to make pills for you and that's it? Well, what kind of pills do you need? If it's something uncommon then there is a good chance that you will need a recipe to provide to the pill refiner right?" Haru asked, making sure that he was careful with his words so that he didn't admit or deny anything. 

The last thing he wanted was for her to be trying to trap him and call the alliance for a reward or something of the sort although he sensed that she was honest in her answer as to why she wanted to find a pill refiner.

"Well, my father was poisoned a few years back and ever since his condition has been declining. If possible I would need to find someone that is able to diagnose the poison and then make an antidote to it. But other than that we also need someone to make True Qi Refining pills to distribute to our young clan members so they can grow stronger.

If you are able to refine pills for us I will make sure that you are paid enough to satisfy you. You will live your life in luxury for the next ten thousand years with the amount you will make from these two jobs alone." Annabeth explained as Haru took a few moments to think about it. 

"Let me see your cultivation technique," Haru said without agreeing to anything. It was a sudden and random demand that it caught her off guard a little as she hesitated for a few minutes.

"Does that mean you will do it?" Annabeth asked with her eyebrows raised as she was excited about the thought of finally being able to heal her father but Haru simply held out his hand.

"Okay, but promise not to let anyone know that I gave it to you. The technique that I practise was given to me by my teacher. If he ever finds out that I let you learn it then he will disown me." Annabeth said before taking out a leather-bound book from her storage ring and handing it to Haru to read.

"Does that mean that you will do it?" Annabeth asked as Haru began to flip through the pages at will as he memorised everything within it before handing it back to her.

"Yes, I will do it. But if you betray me or let anyone know that I can refine pills I promise not to only kill you but I will wipe out every remaining member of your family. Do we understand each other?" Haru asked as Annabeth gulped. But she was certain that she wouldn't let anyone know since he was the one who saved her but now with her family being held hostage she would have to try extra hard to keep it a secret from everyone.

"Yes, I understand. Do you mind if I bring you to my father in the morning so you can examine him? I will also give you the recipe for the True Qi Refining pills then too." Annabeth asked as she was shaken by the thought of anyone finding out Haru's secret to which Haru nodded his head and she quickly retreated back a few steps.

"Then I will see you in the morning," Annabeth called out before running back to her guards so she could feel at ease before they led her back towards a huge mansion on top of a large hill that looked over the entire town.

Haru sighed to himself as he felt tired. He wasn't usually the type of person to threaten someone but he knew that in the upper realms it wasn't safe for him since he had only just arrived there and he was clueless about most things that took place there. 

But there was one thing that he knew. He wasn't about to become the slave of some organisation right out of the gate. He was going to grow his power to the point where he no longer had to fear anyone just like Li Jun had done before him. 

Although it would be a little harder now that he didn't have a teacher to guide him. It was at that moment that he remembered that Lao was still living within his soul. He hadn't gone back inside his soul ocean since he visited Suyin and he had yet to thank Ralph for making that happen. 

He felt as though he needed to speak to Ralph as soon as possible since the technique that Annabeth had just let him read wasn't compatible with Haru since it was made with the female body in mind. 

He could have tried to change the technique to match his body but he wasn't sure if it would still be as effective but from what he knew about the floating mansion within his soul ocean was that it was mysterious and housed secrets that were unknown to the universe.

Haru quickly made his way back to the in and then went back to the room that they had rented to see Hong Xia was still sleeping so he sat down at the end of the bed and brought his legs up and crossed them before entering his soul ocean to see that it was exactly how he had left it the last time he had gone there.

He looked around the room and realised that his soul was still on the bed that he had laid down up on to visit Suyin in the soul cavern but there was no sight of Ralph anywhere.
