Master Howton felt conflicted about the Healing Pill. Truthfully, he did not trust the pill at all.
To him, if his treasured Life-Sustaining Pill was useless, nothing else in the world could save Keith's life.
However, he did not expect a young female star to use such a miraculous pill to bring the man who was about to be declared dead to life!
She had saved him with the pill. Keith had been dying, but the pill had rescued him and even healed him instantly. He had then woken up as if he had not sustained any injuries from the fall at all.
The miraculous effect was beyond Master Howton's understanding of the field of
medicinal pills.
The masters paid attention to the unity of man and nature in their practice, but what they valued the most was the way of alchemy.
In the feudal era, the masters who concocted pills with mercury and cinnabar, ultimately killing the emperor, were basically their predecessors.
When Master Howton had first started his practice, he had wanted to study the ancients' alchemy technique. However, there were too few ancient books on the scriptures. There were a few remaining pill recipes that he had tested, but they were useless. Therefore, it was difficult to make progress in this area.
For many years, he had gathered all kinds of materials and recipes before trying to concoct many kinds of medicines.
However, he had not succeeded in making anything useful.
Nevertheless, he had not given up his pursuit of alchemy even after his repeated failures. On the contrary, his sense of crisis had become stronger as he got older.
He had begun to retreat for a long time in order to truly refine the medicinal pills that would prolong life and longevity, shutting himself away from society and studying the technique of alchemy.
