Chapter 200 "Superior Quality VS Superior Quality"

Anything below a third grade Dan pill wasn't hard to create by any means, but a red pattern one on the other hand was a totally different story.

"Princess Yue, this is a Hundred Fragrance Dan pill which I normally carry around with me. I like to ask you to recreate this." A cunning light flickers across her eye like a fox.

A normal fragrance Dan pill was one of the most sought-after items used by the female sex in the noble class. Requiring ten types of flower to create, it will start emulating a wonderful smell for the user like a perfume except it's not as pungent.

Ordinarily, a regular one without any color markings will last over three days while a blue one can last for half a month. As for a yellow one, this version was a bit harder to create and will last for a month before the smell starts deteriorating.

Naturally, Lady Yao's red version was even rarer that it's to the point of being exotic. Requiring over a hundred flowers to create, the fragrance itself doesn't dissipate at all. Instead, it will slowly seep into the person's body and change the user's constitution until they themselves start emulating a natural sweet scent like the flowers. It can be said this Hundred Fragrance Dan pill was the ultimate aphrodisiac perfume, hence the reason why the king held such strong feelings for the woman. This Dan pill played a crucial role in that effect.

Under normal circumstances, Lady Yao would never flaunt this item in front of anyone for it's one of her trump cards. But to achieve her goal of becoming a court alchemist today, she can only bring it out to assure her victory. This wasn't the woman being complacent here, it's just the fact. Imagine extracting over a hundred flowers for their essence, not something easy to manage especially for Ling Yue who's still a four-cauldron alchemist.

"Lady Yao, mind lending me the Dan pill so I can have a closer look?" Instead of retreating like how the woman expects, Ling Yue went on the offensive and gone completely out of script.

Naturally, Yao Yao wouldn't back down either if a little girl was going to challenger her. Handing over the pill, she places the item in Ling Yue's hand with confidence in her cunning eyes.

After a short visual examination - to the crowd anyways - Ling Yue went ahead and gave the order to the dowager's trusted maid. One hundred flower names on her list, no less, no more.
As if a measly Hundred Fragrance Dan pill can stump our girl. With the cheating spirit smoke in hand, the entire makeup of the pill was broken down perfectly in Ling Yue's mind.

Like any third grade pill, the fragrance Dan pill brought out by Yao Yao wasn't hard to create, what's hard was gathering the necessary ingredients. A hundred fresh flowers, not an easy number to collect in late autumn where most flowers had withered by now.
If their location were anywhere else inside the kingdom, Ling Yue might have been stumped for a solution for not even her cauldron can make something out of nothing. However, this was the palace, a place of abundance and wealth.

Aside from the royal garden where there's plenty of flowers still in bloom despite the late season, there's also several greenhouses acting as reserves for the winter season.

A while later after Ling Yue wrote down her order sheet, an old maid returns with a collection of freshly collected ingredients. All of which still fresh from being cut just minutes ago.

"Hold on. Forgive me, but why don't we have Princess Yue showcase her refining skills in front of us all instead?" Lady Yao calls out just when Ling Yue was about to enter the cauldron room.
The fact that the young lass managed to produce so many yellow pattern Dan pill was very suspicious, hence the reason why Yao Yao proposed this idea. She wants to witness the feat in person for she's never heard of a four-cauldron alchemist doing something so amazing. Perhaps it might even be Master Longyu secretly dabbling his hands in the matter.
