The violet qi of sunrise was a rare sight, and harder still to capture.
It was an ethereal substance to begin with, so using it for alchemy was all the more difficult.
No wonder Shang Wunian had said it was all down to luck.
Bai Mo stayed out for a night and, early the next morning, went back to the marketplace to search for more Pill Books.
They were all items sold off by disciples, unrelated to the sect. The sellers all acted mysterious, putting on profound airs.
When asked, the answers were always along the lines of "family heirloom," "excerpts from a secret manual," or "a fortuitous find."
The asking price for a few of them was absurdly high.
Bai Mo resisted the urge to slap the books in their faces. He turned to leave, only to be immediately called back.
In the end, Bai Mo didn't pay more than twenty Spirit Stones for any of them.
He gathered them mainly because they contained some so-called "unconventional formulas."
