"How despicable! You actually have to use your body as a pill furnace..." Then, as he looked at the bamboo scroll, his eyes widened.
"Frigid School dicine Manual?"
Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath and opened the bamboo scroll. None of it made any sense to him. Only the first line of text was clear, and even that was enough to drive Yan Xiaobao mad. "Immortality begins in the Frigid School; eternal life ends the cycle of reincarnation!"
"Don't tell ... don't tell , this dicine manual can be used to create a pill of eternal life!? AHHHHHHH!" He couldn't hold back the scream that echoed from his mouth. His eyes were filled with veins, as if he had just obtained the most precious treasure.
"Brother Dean must have noticed my efforts in cultivation and decided to reward . You're amazing, old Brother Sect Leader. This River-Defying Pill is just a small matter. Once I beco stronger, I'll make a thousand for you." Filled with excitent, he continued to study the Frigid School dicine Manual. Although he couldn't see any other information inside, he was already obsessed.
After so ti of research, he realized that the bamboo used to make the scroll emitted an ancient aura and must be more than ten thousand years old.
He wasn't even sure how the bamboo could survive for so long. Most importantly, it contained a sweetness that caused his cultivation base to spin rapidly upon inhalation.
Yan Xiaobao just beca more excited, more convinced that this was a very precious item. In fact, he even started to wonder if his diligent cultivation had really attracted the attention of the Sect Leader, or if it was the spirit of his master from the Underworld giving him a gift.
"That's impossible..." he thought. Clenching his teeth, he stopped thinking. After all, the treasure was now in his hand, so it belonged to him.
What he didn't notice was that behind him, deep in the cave, was a monkey watching him with focused eyes.
"How did he do it??" the monkey thought. "Did so mysterious entity really guide his hand to bring back...?"
After a while, the monkey turned and rged into the stone walls of the cave. There, he sank into the mountain... until he was deep beneath the riverbank.
He found himself in a vast underground cavern. Below flowed the golden waters of the Heavenspan River, and the entire cavern was filled with a massive spell formation. This formation was the heart of the Spirit Stream Sect.
It wasn't an offensive spell formation, it was just... defensive.
In the middle of the golden river, where the water was a coffin.
It wasn't covered, and inside was visible... the corpse of a baby girl.
Although it was a corpse, the girl seed to have signs of life, along with an incredibly ancient aura...
Two months flashed by.
Although Yan Xiaobao was frustrated that he couldn't understand any of the Frigid School dicine Manual, he refused to give up, convinced that once his dicinal skills improved, he would understand it.
Now that his punishnt was over, he eagerly erged from the cave. His cultivation base had even improved. Shortly after, he received notice that he would be sent to the North Shore to observe a variety of beasts and improve his Waterswamp Kingdom.
"North Shore..." Shocked, he looked to the north, thinking of the chosen battle, and how he was nad a great rival of the North Shore. After a mont of hesitation, he muttered, "Ah, it's been so long, everyone probably forgot."
Though he didn't seem confident in this analysis, he had no choice. After considering a bit more, his eyes began to fill with anticipation. After all, his pouch still contained Beast Seeds, and the thought of finally owning his own beast made the idea of going to the North Shore more bearable.
Back at Xiangyun Peak, he returned to his destroyed Immortal Cave to pack his bags. Three days later, he stood atop Daoseed Mountain, surrounded by elders, Peak Lords, Inner Sect disciples, and a group of outer sect disciples, all there to see him off.
They were all there voluntarily. Only by witnessing Yan Xiaobao's departure to the North Shore could they finally be at ease.
Yan Xiaobao was moved to see so many people coming to see him off. As he stood next to the Sect Leader, he waved farewell.
"Ladies and gentlen, fellow disciples, I'm heading to the North Shore, and I'll miss you all! I'll miss the South Shore, I'll miss all the plants and vegetation."
A strange expression appeared on the faces of those present. After all, it was a lancholic farewell. Even the Sect Leader and the Peak Lord were present. Although most of the disciples were still angry with Yan Xiaobao, they still tried to look as if they didn't want him to leave.
The only ones who genuinely felt bad were Big Fat Zhang, Hou Xiaoi, Hou Yunfei, and a few others he was truly close to. However, both the South Shore and the North Shore were part of the Spirit Stream Sect, so the emotions weren't overwhelming.
Elder Zhou stepped out from the crowd, looking at Yan Xiaobao warmly. "Brother Bai, you have spectacular talents, just beginning to make progress with the Waterswamp Kingdom. Don't try to convince us you haven't started working miracles and successfully cultivating it. The North Shore has better resources than we do on the South Shore. In the long run, it will be much better for you to continue your cultivation. In fact, you'll have a greater chance of reaching Foundation Establishnt there. When that happens, your lifespan will increase."
Yan Xiaobao trembled, his eyes lit up with the thought of reaching Foundation Establishnt and increasing his longevity.
