Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684: Breaking Through Again!
Upon entering the fifth level of the tower, Ye Qiu scanned the area and found no one in sight.
“No wonder they interrupted my trials again and again; they didn’t want to obtain what’s inside the fifth level of the tower,” murmured Ye Qiu, as he slowly walked towards the bookshelf in the middle.
The bookshelf, neither too large nor too small, held dust-laden books. Ye Qiu casually picked one up.
History of the Origin Continent
Ye Qiu’s eyes lit up. This was precisely the kind of book he wanted to see the most right now, sothing that had to be stored in his spatial bag for future study.
Next, he picked up another one.
The Self-Cultivation of an Alchemist
A Day in the Life of an Alchemist
The Ten Essential Alchemy Formulas of an Alchemist
…
Although the books here didn’t cover deep alchemy knowledge, they were still quite beneficial to Ye Qiu. It’s important to note that what Ye Qiu lacked the most was systematic guidance in alchemy. At present, he had no ntor in alchemy; books were his only substitute. Despite groping his way through, it was much easier than fumbling blindly in the dark.
He stored everything in his spatial bag, quickly glancing at the titles to discern their importance, then took them all away.
After emptying the bookshelf of ancient texts, Ye Qiu’s gaze fell upon the surrounding walls.
There were fewer paintings of spiritual dicine and spirit grass on the walls of the fifth level because they described very high-level dicines, more accurately, sacred dicines.
Sacred dicines are precious not only for their potent effects and trendous assistance to people but also due to their rarity. It’s worth noting that the spiritual dicines Ye Qiu obtained under the guidance of the cat and black dogs did not reach the level of sacred dicines.
Although he could use spiritual dicines to refine saint-grade pills, which have the potential to rival sacred dicines, even if he succeeded in refining them, the grade of the saint pills would only be the most elentary.
They cannot compare with pills made from genuine sacred dicines.
There were hundreds of kinds of sacred dicines depicted on the walls. Rembering them all wasn’t difficult, but beside the sacred dicines, there were many similar-looking herbs, so of which were ordinary spiritual dicines, and so were even poisonous. He had to rember them all; otherwise, there was a significant risk of misidentification when encountering similar ones.
This required powerful mory and differentiation skills, with high demands on attention to detail. Ye Qiu began morizing the types of sacred dicines.
The cat and four black dogs were utterly bored. They had visited the fifth level of the tower before and were stopped here. They failed to break through to the sixth level.
The cat ran to the side of the staircase entrance, noticing that the stone guardians here were smaller than those on previous levels, yet they could stop the cat and black dogs, indicating that the four stone guardians were no simple opponents.
Watching for a while, the cat eventually backed away, not wanting to provoke an attack from the stone guardians. Once engaged, it would surely be at a disadvantage again.
The scene of defeat was still fresh in its mory.
The four black dogs didn’t even approach. With their strength, they had to kneel before the four stone guardians. Each level of this tower had stronger guards than the last.
Expecting the cat and black dogs to morize the various sacred dicines painted on the walls was harder for them than death.
With nothing else to do, they watched as Ye Qiu continuously morized the sacred dicines.
In fact, at this mont, the cat and black dogs were also pondering that perhaps Ye Qiu could actually enter the sixth level. Although they were unaware of his exact strength, their instincts told them that Ye Qiu’s capabilities were unfathomable. In other words, Ye Qiu’s strength was likely to surpass theirs.
This alone wasn’t enough to astonish the cat and black dogs. What was truly surprising was Ye Qiu’s mory of spiritual dicines, which was beyond ordinary. It felt like he was not rely a martial artist, but an alchemist.
Just as the cat and black dogs were about to fall asleep, Ye Qiu finally stopped morizing. He walked towards the trial slate and lightly placed his palm on it.
The trial started instantly.
The cat and the four black dogs all stood up, staring as Ye Qiu took the test. As he smoothly recited the various sacred dicines, ti flew by, and when the sound of passing the trial rang, the cat and four black dogs were taken aback.
Did he really pass?
Ye Qiu looked at the surprised expressions of the cat and black dogs and couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you surprised?”
“Yes.” The cat and black dogs nodded one after another.
“I only used one percent of my power, by the way. I rember you said you reached the fifth level of the tower, right?” Ye Qiu said casually.
The cat and black dogs all rolled their eyes at Ye Qiu, thinking he was deliberately rubbing salt in their wounds by ntioning their halt at the fifth level after saying he only used one percent of his power.
Ye Qiu laughed heartily, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to the sixth level of the tower.”
This ti, the stone guardians did not intervene, allowing Ye Qiu to lead the cat and black dogs inside.
As Ye Qiu ascended to the sixth level of the tower, more and more people gathered in front of the towering structure.
Gao Wanli and Lu Shan initially refrained from going deeper with Ye Qiu because he ntioned that danger might lie ahead. Now, seeing more people walking past them, and so even coming out, made them realize that perhaps there was no danger ahead after all.
However, they still chose not to move forward and waited there.
They promised Ye Qiu they would wait there to regroup when he returned.
To prevent anyone from targeting them, Gao Wanli and Lu Shan followed Ye Qiu’s suggestion to hide and stay out of sight, revealing themselves only when he appeared.
Thus, although many people walked past, no one noticed them.
“I wonder when Brother Ye will return?” Lu Shan transmitted to Gao Wanli.
“Don’t worry; his strength is formidable. Even if he encounters the talents of the three main sects, I think he won’t be in any danger,” Gao Wanli replied.
“Brother Gao, do you know who Brother Ye really is? He didn’t speak much along the way, and we don’t even know which sect he’s from,” Lu Shan said.
Speaking about Ye Qiu’s identity, Gao Wanli could only smile wryly, “I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, little sister. I truly don’t know Brother Ye’s real identity. He hasn’t told , and I haven’t felt it proper to inquire deeply. If you’re really curious, you could ask him when he returns. If you’re too shy to ask, I’ll ask on your behalf.”
“Well… thank you, Brother Gao.” Lu Shan’s face turned slightly red.
While the two were communicating silently, two figures passed slowly in front of them.
“Brother Gao, it’s them!” Lu Shan said furiously, looking at the two backs.
Gao Wanli also saw Du Wei and Feng Wentai and said coldly, “Right now, we have nothing to do with them. There’s no need to pay them any mind. People like that will eventually et their own downfall.”
Yes.
Lu Shan nodded. The reappearance of Du Wei and Feng Wentai stirred up disgust in her heart. These two always flattered in everyday life, yet in monts of danger, they were the first to flee.
Compared to Ye Qiu, they were like heaven and earth.
“Brother Ye is such a good person.” mories of Ye Qiu’s deanor and appearance floated in Lu Shan’s mind.
