(First Update) Saint-level dicinal pill!
Although Ye Qiu had succeeded in concocting a saint-level dicinal pill before, he knew that there was a great elent of luck involved in that success, and he had risked everything on that one attempt.
If he were to use the sa dicinal herbs now, the confidence in successfully concocting the Xuan Ying Dan would be less than fifty percent.
Seeing Ye Qiu in a dilemma, Boss Yun said, “I know that concocting a saint-level dicinal pill is not easy, but I really need this pill.”
Ye Qiu pondered for a long ti and finally nodded, “Although I can’t guarantee it will be successful, let give it a try.”
“Good!
If Pill Master Ye can help concoct it, you will truly be a benefactor to Yun Shang Palace,” Boss Yun said with a look of joy.
“I have the alchemy recipe for this saint pill here, and Yun Shang Palace will also provide you with the dicinal materials.”
“That would be most excellent.” Hearing that Yun Shang Palace had the recipe, Ye Qiu’s heart was shocked.
The alchemy recipe for a saint-level dicinal pill was very important compared to other pills.
There were only seven or eight kinds of saint-level pills recorded in the alchemy books.
Ye Qiu’s thoughts stirred, and he couldn’t help saying, “Boss Yun, could you allow to take a look at all the alchemy recipes you have here?”
As an alchemist, the recipe was his life.
Although he knew several saint-level recipes, he also wanted to see the recipes treasured by Yun Shang Palace.
“No problem, now that there are no alchemists left in the ancient lands, you, Pill Master Ye, are the only one.
These recipes are useless for to keep.
If you are interested, I can take you to see them now,” Boss Yun said.
Naturally, Ye Qiu agreed wholeheartedly, and following Boss Yun’s lead, he arrived at Yun Shang Palace’s backyard for the first ti.
Book Pavilion!
He hadn’t expected Yun Shang Palace to have such a Book Pavilion.
At first glance, it was a very ancient building, and the black wood, despite countless years, was still undecayed, emanating an air of history.
The carved patterns and beasts on it were still clear and lifelike.
“Pill Master Ye, aside from the second and third floors, you can browse any book on the first floor.
There is a row of bookshelves filled with alchemy recipes.
While there are no high-level recipes, they are still treasures of Yun Shang Palace.
In the past fifty years, you are the first to enter here,” Boss Yun explained.
Ye Qiu nodded.
As for the saint-level dicinal pill that Boss Yun wanted to concoct, it was not given to Ye Qiu imdiately.
Ye Qiu was told to wait a while longer, as there were still a few herbs needed before the alchemy could comnce.
With the Book Pavilion right in front of him, Ye Qiu naturally wouldn’t refuse to stay for a few extra days.
“Before the dicinal materials are gathered, Pill Master Ye can stay in the Book Pavilion.”
“Alright, once Boss Yun has gathered everything, just co here to fetch ,” Ye Qiu said, sowhat impatiently.
This was his first ti seeing such a large Book Pavilion, similar to a library in the mundane world, but no library could compare to the Book Pavilion before him.
Ye Qiu pushed the door open and entered the Book Pavilion.
Gazing at the rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books, his eyes lit up.
Boss Yun left the Book Pavilion, and Wu Yang, the Revered One, silently appeared beside him and said, “The Book Pavilion is the heart of Yun Shang Palace, aren’t you giving this young man too much for too little in return?”
“As long as he can concoct a saint-level dicinal pill again and assist you in your breakthrough, even giving him access to the Book Pavilion is worth it,” Boss Yun said.
Wu Yang the Revered One fell silent, fully aware of the importance of the Book Pavilion.
Boss Yun had done this in hopes of furthering his martial cultivation.
“You are the pillar of Yun Shang Palace.
Without you as our guardian, the entire Yun Shang Palace would eventually fall prey to the other ancient clans.
I must help you achieve a breakthrough at any cost,” Boss Yun stated firmly.
Though the words sounded sowhat utilitarian, Wu Yang the Revered One understood that these were Boss Yun’s true feelings.
Making the Book Pavilion available for soone to browse was the first exception Yun Shang Palace had made in many years.
“I know your concerns, rest assured, he won’t be able to go up to the second or third floor.
As for the first floor, besides so low-level martial arts techniques, there are also so pill recipes.
These things are of no use to our Yun Shang Palace, I can simply give them to him as a favor,” said the owner of Yun Shang Palace.
Wu Yang, the venerable one, glanced at the library.
He always felt that Ye Qiu, after entering, would co out a changed man.
“Maybe I’m overthinking it,” laughed Wu Yang.
If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Qiu was an alchemist, how could he pay attention to a legendary realm martial artist?
Even if it were a mythical realm, he wouldn’t bother to give a second glance.
“My strength is declining again…” Wu Yang’s aura suddenly beca volatile, his complexion drastically changing.
If he delayed any longer, his strength would fearfully decrease even more.
Once inside the library, Ye Qiu saw antiquated books all around.
He casually flipped one open, its pages describing martial arts tactics.
They were superficial, but to Ye Qiu they were eye-opening.
These things, insignificant to Yun Shang Palace and even to the prodigies of the three ancient clans who would discard them like worn-out sandals, were unseen by Ye Qiu before.
He noticed details he had previously never paid attention to with just a casual glance.
Row upon row of bookshelves – if he read them all, it would be a vast fortune to him.
Ye Qiu didn’t start with the pill recipes because he could morize those with just a sweep of his gaze.
Instead, it was the many low-level martial arts techniques that delighted him.
In the following days, Ye Qiu spent all his ti in the library, reading a single book seed like a waste of ti, so Ye Qiu read two at once, one with each eye.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
Books were rapidly flipping.
Ye Qiu’s eyes, gleaming with a layer of golden light like scanners, rembered everything written on the pages.
His mind quickly analyzed and understood.
Although there were many techniques, Ye Qiu had a high realm and grasped many things at first glance, instantly understanding them.
As Ye Qiu browsed through more and more martial arts books, the speed at which he read them increased geotrically.
Many concepts he grasped by analogy; he didn’t need to spend much ti on them.
He had been practicing martial arts with the old lecher since he was young, and although he learned a lot, it wasn’t as detailed or extensive as the descriptions in these books.
There were many things he never paid attention to and even many moves he pondered on his own.
However, having read these martial arts books widened Ye Qiu’s knowledge enormously.
He was like a massive sea sponge, rapidly absorbing nutrients, wishing he could read all the books here in one breath.
Imrsed in the world of martial arts, the sensation was extraordinarily blissful.
Every mont, his mind enacted various moves; as Ye Qiu read, his body mimicked different stances.
His martial arts experience was rapidly replenishing, and compared to those prodigies, his foundation was surging.
Every day, Ye Qiu’s deanor underwent changes.
When the owner of Yun Shang Palace opened the door to the library to notify Ye Qiu that he could start alchemy, he found Ye Qiu looking like a scholarly man, all sharpness gone, radiating a refined and steady charm.
“Have you gathered all the herbs?” Ye Qiu asked as he put down the book in his hands, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
He hadn’t been able to finish reading all the books here; he was short by one-twentieth.
However, it wasn’t a big loss.
The rest of the books, aside from a bit about martial arts, were just records of ancient events, not particularly crucial to have read.
“Pill Master Ye, we can start alchemy now.”
Ye Qiu stood up, put the book back in its place, and dusted off his wrinkled tunic.
He smiled and said, “No problem.”
As he took the final step out of the library, Ye Qiu slowly looked towards the staircase leading to the second floor, curious about the kinds of books hidden there.
However, this thought was quickly dismissed.
It was already exceptional for Yun Shang Palace to allow him access to the first floor.
As for the second floor, that was probably a sanctuary of Yun Shang Palace, a place he, as an outsider, couldn’t enter.
At that mont, a voice echoed in the owner’s mind.
“This young man, in just five days, has almost read through the entire collection on the first floor.
His potential is limitless.
It is better to befriend him rather than make an enemy of him.”
The owner looked towards the second floor, bowing slightly in respect, inwardly astounded by the old man’s high praise of Ye Qiu.
