Still, seeing the many First-grade Spiritual Herbs already collected brought Hua Tianxiong a sense of relief. If he had been forced to purchase all these herbs, he would never have felt this relaxed; it would have cost an astronomical amount of gold and silver, and there was no guarantee he could even find them on the market.
It seemed he truly owed it all to the Star Domain Cauldron, that divine artifact. Without it, even if someone handed him a secret manual for alchemy, he would be a cook with no rice. Alchemy was, after all, an endless, money-burning profession.
Thinking of his upcoming training in the Tieshi Mountains, Hua Tianxiong realized that besides the saber techniques commonly used by the Great Qin Empire’s army, he had never truly practiced any powerful martial arts. He hadn't even focused on low-level Yellow-grade techniques. The primary reason was that his cultivation had been too low; such techniques held little significance for him while he was still the Crown Prince, and after his Dantian was crippled, they were no longer an option.
