The dicinal herbs required by Wuliang Mountain cannot be too many, so I can only ask for those that I cannot obtain on my own. That way, I can justify asking for them.
Back in his room, Ling Zhenfei took out paper and pen and began to write. He first listed all the herbs, and then started crossing them off one by one.
First, he crossed off the most common elixirs, then the herbs that could be purchased, then the rare herbs, leaving only a few that were now extinct.
Looking at the list, Ling Zhenfei saw that there were only four nas left. As long as he could acquire these four herbs, Ling Zhenfei would soon be able to refine the second life elixir.
Early the next morning, Ling Zhenfei got up and went outside the Wuliang Immortal Palace to wait.
With nothing else to do, Ling Zhenfei took a good look at the Wuliang Immortal Palace.
The Wuliang Immortal Palace is one of the Three Great Sacred Lands for cultivators. Although he had been led in once by Murong Liuqing, that was only into one of the rooms.
And that room was rely a resting place; as for what was in the other rooms, Ling Zhenfei truly had no idea.
He only knew that the Wuliang Immortal Palace contained an incredibly large space with nurous rooms of all kinds.
What was inside those rooms, Ling Zhenfei was unsure.
But being terd one of the Three Great Sacred Lands of the cultivation world, this place was definitely very mysterious.
The Wuliang Immortal Palace was extravagantly decorated and very grand, but it seed to be shrouded within a large spiritual barrier, unable to let any Northern Spiritual Energy seep through.
Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense couldn't penetrate it, nor could his soul; enough to signify that this place was truly extraordinary.
People were coming and going from the Wuliang Immortal Palace frequently; perhaps just about to embark on a journey, so Wuliang Mountain was extrely busy.
After waiting for so ti, Ling Zhenfei finally saw Murong Liuqing co out. Ling Zhenfei eagerly approached him, "How is it, any leads?"
Murong Liuqing's expression wasn't good as he said, "I tried everything, but my master did not agree and insisted that you speak for yourself."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "Your master? Are you saying you went to your master?"
Murong Liuqing replied, "Yes, didn't you say it needed approval from soone at the Elder level or higher?"
Although Ling Zhenfei knew the old man's special status, even suspecting he might be the current Master of Wuliang Palace, he had never confird this matter and had not directly asked.
Ling Zhenfei asked, "So the senior insists that I go in personally?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Yes, you need to explain to my master why you need the herbs and which ones you want."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised, "The senior agreed?"
Murong Liuqing said, "I don't know, he just said you should go in and talk yourself. I've exhausted my techniques."
With no other choice, Ling Zhenfei followed Murong Liuqing into the Wuliang Immortal Palace for the second ti.
The first ti he ca, he hadn't really observed the surroundings.
This ti, Ling Zhenfei wasn't as nervous, so he could take a good look at the Wuliang Immortal Palace.
But the path they took was a corridor, with houses on both sides, their doors tightly closed, and he didn't know what was inside. However, he could vaguely hear voices, although very faint.
Curiously, Ling Zhenfei asked Murong Liuqing, "What are these rooms for on both sides?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Every room has its own opponent. If you cultivate inside, you'll benefit imnsely."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I don't quite understand, what do you an by it having its own opponent?"
Murong Liuqing said, "Because each opponent is actually yourself, to win, you must overco your own self."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised. Was it truly so magical inside here, and by what ans was it achieved? Ling Zhenfei couldn't quite figure it out.
At this ti, the two of them arrived again at the previous room. After knocking, they walked in.
Everything in the room had not changed; it was just as it was last ti.
Ling Zhenfei again saw the old man from before, who, upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, smiled.
"I hear you want so herbs?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, senior, I need so herbs for alchemy."
The old man said, "I heard you helped Ye Wushan cure a disease. I didn't expect you to be both a doctor and a Pill Master. It's rare to find soone who can practice alchemy these days."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, I have so experience with alchemy."
The old man said, "So tell , which herbs do you want?"
Ling Zhenfei had already prepared the nas of the herbs last night.
"I want Goldfish Grass, Rejuvenation Grass, Earth Spirit Root, and September Flower."
The old man laughed, "You're indeed an expert. The herbs you requested are either extinct or extrely rare in existence. It seems you've co well prepared."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, senior, and precisely because these herbs are so hard to find, I thought that Wuliang Mountain's thousand-year accumulation might hold a stock of them."
The old man nodded and said, "Correct, Wuliang Mountain indeed has so of these, but I'm curious what elixir you intend to refine with such herbs."
Ling Zhenfei said, "The elixir I want to refine is called the resurrection pill. This elixir, no matter how seriously soone is injured, as long as there's a glimr of life, taking it can save them."
Upon hearing this, the old man and Murong Liuqing were both stunned, evidently not expecting Ling Zhenfei to produce such a miraculous elixir.
The old man asked, "Are you serious, you can truly refine such an extraordinary elixir?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course."
Ling Zhenfei spoke about the resurrection pill but did not ntion the second life pill.
The resurrection pill was sothing he originally knew how to make, but the secret of the second life elixir was sothing Ye Wushan provided to him, so he did not reveal it.
The old man said, "I can certainly provide you with these herbs, but I have a condition."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What does senior require?"
The old man said, "You may have the herbs, but half of the refined elixirs must be given to Wuliang Mountain."
Ling Zhenfei was montarily stunned, "You an give Wuliang Mountain half?"
The old man said, "Consider it a partnership. We provide the herbs, you provide the skill, and neither of us loses out."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "Alright, that's acceptable, but I have one more condition."
Off to the side, Murong Liuqing said, "Why do you have so many conditions?"
But the old man said, "Go ahead, what is it?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Although the resurrection pill can be considered an Immortal Pill, refining it successfully may trigger a Heavenly Tribulation. So, during the alchemy process, I'll need strong cultivators to guard outside.
If a Heavenly Tribulation occurs, I'll need help to fend it off."
Ling Zhenfei was not just worried about the resurrection pill but also concerned about a Heavenly Tribulation appearing upon the successful refinent of the second life elixir.
