Chapter Vol. 1 Ch. 8
Mo Yang carefully unfolded the ancient scroll, his eyes scanning it as his breath grew increasingly hurried.
Inside the scroll, not only were there alchemy formulas, but also over a hundred different medicinal recipes.
Many of the elixirs, just by their names, appeared extraordinary. The scroll had already yellowed with age, clearly a relic from a distant past. Many of the recipes were likely lost to time, with the key detail being that each recipe came with a description of its effects and uses.
Mo Yang's hands trembled slightly, his excitement swelling beyond measure. He never imagined that the second floor of the stone tower would hide such a treasure. For cultivators, mastering alchemy was like obtaining an endless treasury for cultivation.
He understood all too well what this ancient scroll meant for him. With these alchemy formulas and recipes, all he needed was the right ingredients, and he could begin crafting pills. With the aid of these elixirs, he would grow stronger at an even faster pace.
Suppressing his excitement, Mo Yang closed the scroll and began searching around.
However, the one thing that disappointed him was that the mental cultivation method of the Star Emperor Scripture, which was supposed to be on the second floor, hadn’t appeared. The walls of the tower showed no signs of change.
"Probably because my cultivation hasn’t reached the Heavenly Profound Realm yet... Never mind, let me first familiarize myself with alchemy," he muttered.
For the next few days, Mo Yang immersed himself in studying the alchemy formulas. While alchemy wasn’t as mysterious as cultivation techniques, each formula had its unique characteristics, and the key was mastering the subtle techniques and details—practice made perfect.
Of course, Mo Yang overlooked two crucial factors—alchemy furnaces and refining flames. After all, there were already ready-made furnaces within the tower, so he didn’t have to worry about them.
For him, everything was set, except for the ingredients.
"Ingredients... Looks like I’ll have to check out the Lingxu Sect’s treasury," Mo Yang pondered, frowning. Although the Lingxu Sect wasn’t particularly strong, it had been around for hundreds of years, and their treasury likely contained many valuable items.
While he could buy ingredients at the local apothecaries in the nearby cities, Mo Yang felt it would be a waste to ignore the resources right at his fingertips.
The sect’s treasury, however, was usually guarded by elders, making it nearly impossible to enter undetected.
But that afternoon, as Mo Yang meditated in his courtyard, a familiar presence appeared within his senses. When he recognized it as Su Fei'er, his heart immediately lightened. He had been struggling with how to access the sect’s treasury, and now the key had practically arrived.
Su Fei'er eyed him suspiciously. Mo Yang caught her gaze and hurriedly went into the house to retrieve a piece of paper. It was a list of the medicinal ingredients needed for the pills he planned to try crafting, with the exact quantities noted.
"These are common ingredients. You’re the sect leader’s daughter; it should be no problem for you to just take a quick trip to the treasury!" Mo Yang said as he handed her the list.
Su Fei'er had no other choice. After a moment of hesitation, she took the list, glanced over it, and then spoke to Mo Yang. "If you don’t keep your word, I’ll make sure you become a eunuch!"
Mo Yang watched as Su Fei'er stormed out of the courtyard, his expression one of surprise. He knew she was feisty, but he hadn’t expected her to be this fiery. Recalling the look in her eyes as she left, he couldn’t help but feel a cold chill run down his spine.
"Ugh, this girl... I should avoid making her mad in the future."
After muttering to himself, he turned and entered the house. He planned to study the alchemy furnace. As for the marriage proposal nonsense, it had nothing to do with him.
Two hours later, Su Fei'er returned. She tossed a spatial ring at Mo Yang and coldly said, "Everything you wanted is in here."
Mo Yang took the ring and, after checking it, smiled with delight. There was far more than he had requested. Su Fei'er had likely not even bothered to check, simply stuffing the ingredients in haphazardly.
