After returning to the Profound Palace Building from Motie Mountain, Chen Chuan opened the box for a look. He saw that the medicine was very well sealed. The instructions on it said to keep it in a cool, dry place.
That usually wouldn't be a problem; he could store it just about anywhere.
However, according to the recorded ritual, to turn this into a Compound Medicine, he would need to fuse the High Heaven Jade Core into it. The final product would be lit like a lamp, a single-use item that would be gone once consumed.
The High Heaven Jade Core was still useful to him, but it was meant to be used when he was approaching a certain limit. The time wasn't right, so he had no use for it yet.
He put the item away safely, told Chaoming to keep a close eye on it, and then returned to his daily training routine.
The next day, at 8:50 AM, he left his room and went to the training grounds on the seventieth floor. He waited a few minutes until it was time for his lesson.
