Chapter 54 - Achieving the Foundation Establishment Pill
After listening to him, the facial expressions of the three people were very complex. They didn't expect Yue Qianchou to be so knowledgeable. The kind of zoology, botany, natural science, and entomology were unheard of and became an eye-opener today.
The young Chen Feng was full of admiration, while Guan Yu was slightly embarrassed. Yue Qianchou seemed to notice the strange gaze from the White Fox and he decided to make his move.
Yue Qianchou remembered what he wanted to say. He said a bit embarrassedly, "Big Sister, there is something I need your help with."
The White Fox's bright eyes glanced at him as she heaved a gentle "Hmm."
Seeing that his big sister agreed, Yue Qianchou was overjoyed. He quickly pulled out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas and gave it to her, he said, "I know that Big Sister has many extraordinary techniques. There is something inside this jade slip that I want to see, unfortunately, it is under a lot of restrictions. Big Sister, help me open it please..."
Guan Yu and Chen Feng didn't bother with their conversation. The two went to the open space on the side and examined the botany that Yue Qianchou said.
The White Fox took over to jade slip to probe it. The eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Yue Qianchou asked a bit nervously, "Big Sister, can you get rid of it?"
The White Fox shook her head, the lips slightly said, "The one who set these restrictions possessed a high level of attainment in this. There are a total of seven restrictions that have been set. The first restriction had been unlocked. I can try to unlock the few former restrictions, but I have never seen the kind of restrictions for the few last in it, I will need to spend some time to unlock it. Otherwise, forcing to break it open will damage the content inside."
Finished saying, the delicate fingers made a seal toward the jade slip. Yue Qianchou knew she was unlocking the restrictions, be he couldn't understand it and felt it was very mysterious.
After three flashes of white light toward the jade slip, the fingers movement stopped. It only took a few breaths of time, then she returned the jade slip and said, "Of the remaining six restrictions, I have unlocked the first three restrictions. For the last three restrictions, I can't get rid of it for the time being. However, I have memorized it, it will take some time for me to decipher it."
Yue Qianchou took over the jade slip with a grin, "It's enough to unlock the three restrictions, the others are not urgent. Big Sister, please just think about it slowly."
The White Fox nodded and stared at him without saying anything, she turned to walk toward the bamboo house outside the garden.
At the other end, the sighs of surprise from Guan Yu and Chen Feng were apparent after the result of their experiment. Yue Qianchou was still smiling vividly over his jade slip. he walked past and saw Chen Feng, he suddenly remembered a person. Beside Chen Feng in Hundred Flowers Valley that day, he had also abducted a person who made and sold him the 'Immortal Divine Collapsing'. Yue Qianchou had visited his space several times but didn't see the guy at all, that was the talented person who he personally selected!
"Yunchang, I have something to ask you."
Guan Yu tidied the soil with his hands, with a smile he stood up and asked, "What is it?"
Yue Qianchou asked, "In addition to Chen Feng, I have brought another person in. How did I have never seen him at all? Where did he go?"
Guan Yu was taken aback, he then laughed, "You're asking about that guy ah?" He brought his mouth closer to Yue Qianchou and whispered a few words. Yue Qianchou's expression greatly changed as he was listening, he casually said, "He deserved it!"
Originally, the guy who sold him the smoker was taken in and his life essence was forcibly extracted the same way as Chen Feng. However, he was entranced by the White Fox's appearance and actually tried to conquer her with his 'Immortal Divine Collapsing'. Not knowing the heights of the heavens, he probably wasn't even aware of the consequence having his life essence stolen, his every move wouldn't escape the other party's awareness. The result was that the White Fox destroyed his life essence, his remains were turned into ash and became the flowers' fertilizer.
"Ai! What a waste of a good talent... Forget it, he brought it upon himself. Well, you guys keep it with your plays, I'll be going first, see ya!" Said Yue Qianchou somewhat regretted.
"Wait!" Guan Yu pulled him and said, "Remember to bring in a nest of bees when you come back. I want to understand the relationship between botany and zoology."
"Alright, I remember."
Having returned to his own room in the Immortal-Enchanting Island, Yue Qianchou carefully listened the outside and concluded that there was no movement. He proceeded to take out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas to take a look. The divine sense was injected into the first layer.
In fact, the first layer didn't contain any pill formula, it explained the alchemy's general idea and what to do. For example, what type of fire was best for alchemy, what kind of pill furnace that could improve the success rate of the medicinal pills. There was a whole lot of instructions.
For Yue Qianchou who was completely new to alchemy, this general idea that could bring him a headache was what he needed to understand the most. He read it attentively word for word as he tried to memorize it.
The second layer was still not about pill formula. When Yue Qianchou's divine sense entered, he felt that he had entered the seas of various spiritual plants. Not only the names and efficacy of various spiritual plants were described in details, even the appearance from small to large were vividly displayed before him, the level of detail was exquisite. Even the growing habits of each plant and the approximate locations to find were listed.
Yue Qianchou was shocked, not just shocked in general, but totally flabbergasted. Although he didn't know anything about spiritual plants and alchemy, he was aware that he possessed a priceless treasure. He was glad that such a precious thing fell into his hands by making a move on Liu Zhengguang.
After recovering shock, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but think back to the Pill Sect. He estimated that nobody could rival the Pill Sect attainment in the alchemy. Only by checking the first two layers, it already consisted of a very detailed record of the innumerable spiritual plants. It should take a lot of time and many generations to collect such a record, these two layers were already sufficient to make the jade slip as a world treasure. He believed that anyone could rebuild the Pill Sect with this jade slip alone, there would be no much obstacles.
It was impossible to memorize such amount of record in a short period of time. He could only heave a sigh and decided to do it slowly. Yue Qianchou divine sense crossed and entered the third layer.
From the introduction words of this layer, the inside held the record of various pills' formulas for Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The medicinal pills' efficacy was written beside the name of the pills and the ingredients needed were written below it. It included the instruction such as the order and timing of putting the herbs into the refining process and the year of the spiritual plants needed, all of them were written out in detail. The problems that could arise during refining the plants and how to deal with it had also been marked.
Tsk Tsk! What a good thing! Even a completely ignorant person might be able to produce medicinal pills by lavishly following these instructions. I didn't expect that the Foundation Establishment cultivators can use so many medicinal pills to assist with the cultivation. However, it's really strange. Since the Pill Sect possessed such an attainment in the alchemy, they shouldn't be weak, how could they get exterminated?
Yue Qianchou was still checking the content, his eyelids suddenly rose. The word 'Foundation Establishment Pill' appeared and immediately caught his attention.
