Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In its current form, Sanqing Peak could be said to be a heritage site. The removal of impurities was already quite extraordinary, and now, with the addition of these Heavenly and Earthly treasures, the Sanqing Peak looked better than a fairyland.
Gu Xi kept a low profile, afraid that Shen Tianyi would be jealous if he sees this. He set up a barrier node, and unless one entered it, one would not be able to see anything from the outside.
Now that the setup of Sanqing Peak was completed, Gu Xi still had a top-grade cultivation method that he had yet to study.
It was the ‘Baopu Pill Refining Technique’ that Shen Tianyi had stuffed into his hands when they were in the Treasure Pavilion.
[System checking Baopu Pill Refining Technique.]
[6,709 flaws have been discovered. Begin to extract and repair the flaws.]
[Baopu Pill Refining Technique has been repaired to the heaven-grade cultivation method, the Heaven and Earth Pill Refinement Technique.]
The Baopu Pill Refining Technique was originally a high-quality cultivation method, but the system was still able to detect so many flaws. Countless golden lights surrounded the book and flew into the pages.
There was no wind at all, but the pages began to flip like there were a pair of invisible hands flipping through them. The original handwriting gradually disappeared, as if the traces of its existence had been erased.
In its place were unfamiliar and difficult-to-understand words. As the light spots were branded into the book, the age of these words could almost be traced back to ancient times.
An illusory figure appeared in the sky. It was the image of a white-haired old man. His face was kind and amiable as if he was the embodiment of love.
Countless plants surrounded him. Thousand-year-old Snow Sunflower, Dragon King, Silver Orchid Grass, Skyheart Flower, and various other famous herbs and plants. These were all herbs that he recognized, but there were still many herbs that he did not know about. Gu XI had never seen them before, he suspected that they were extinct.
All in all, from the age of these herbs, none of them were less than 100 years old. It was difficult to find a hundred-year-old herb, let alone a thousand-year-old one.
Gu Xi could not help but guess the old man’s identity.
The old man walked through mountains, lakes, and seas. The entire continent was within an inch of his reach. It was as if he was the master of a hundred herbs. Countless plants passed through his hands and were recorded in the booklet he carried with him. He traveled the land and also healed countless people. His deeds were spread throughout the entire continent.
Gu Xi became a little absent-minded, and he was a little fascinated by the scene before him. It was as if he was a participant in the old man’s journey. He followed the old man along the way, and he was familiar with the medicinal properties of countless plants. He had even seen all sorts of serious and complicated diseases.
If someone were here at this moment, they would find Gu Xi’s condition extremely strange. His eyes were slightly opened, and his pupils were dilated. It was obvious that he was in a dazed state.
No one knew how much time had passed, and he could not even sense the passage of time.
The old man smiled faintly as if he could see Gu Xi. The old man stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Xi. Only then did Gu Xi come to his senses. Looking at the hand that was so close to him, he retreated slightly.
The old man’s figure slowly disappeared, and in its place were five words that shone with golden light.
‘Heaven and Earth Pill Refinement Technique’!
As the golden light dissipated, Gu Xi looked at the brand new cultivation method in his hand. The rich life aura swirled around it. Gu Xi’s body trembled, and he felt as if his mind was extremely clear.
The medicinal properties of those plants, the temperatures of the pill refining process, and how to maximize the effects… They were all vivid in his mind as if he had experienced it all before.
“It’s so magical.”
Gu Xi felt a little emotional, and he could not wait to try it out. However, he did not have the cauldron, herbs, and tools to refine pills at all.
“Looks like I’ll have to go out for a while.”
Gu Xi was a man of action and planned to immediately go to the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce to buy herbs.
…
“Bring me to see the best herbs here.”
Unlike the last time, Gu Xi had become the personal disciple of the Sect Leader, and his clothes had changed. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he had an extraordinary status.
After stepping into the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, he was treated with the utmost respect. A row of wooden boxes was placed in front of him to choose from.
Inside were all extremely precious herbs that had been specially stored and stored. They were placed in a special wooden box, just like the ones that had just been picked.
Gu Xi frowned slightly. “These herbs are too young.”
Moreover, judging from the appearance of these herbs, they were on a completely different level from the ones he had seen by the old man’s side. They were like dried bean sprouts that had not fully developed.
What Gu Xi did not know was that the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy was abundant in ancient times, so these herbs were naturally absorbed and grown wantonly. There were once so many herbs that it would not be difficult to find some that were several thousand years old.
However, now that the spiritual energy had decreased, coupled with the cultivators’ wantonly plucking, aged herbs were a rare sight. How could he compare to the herbs back then? The ones here at the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce were already excellent specimens.
When the servant beside him heard this, he was speechless. He could not help but say, “These are all too young? Do you know that this Pure Heart Youlan is 500 years old? This Snow Jade Bone Ginseng here, take a look. It has a miraculous effect on the recovery of injuries. It could be used to refine healing pills…”
Even after the servant’s recommendation, Gu Xi did not buy it. Moreover, he still lacked some important spirit flowers and spirit fruits before he could refine the pills he wanted.
“Do you have the thousand-year-old Heaven-reaching Fruit, Purple Dragon Ginseng, Fragrant Silk, and Octagonal Ice Grass?”
Gu Xi listed the herbs he needed, but the servant was at a loss. The servant scratched his head and said, “We have a few kinds here, but they are all around 100 years old. I’ve never heard of the thousand-year-old Heaven-reaching Fruit.”
If it were not for Gu Xi’s extraordinary clothes and the inexplicable pressure from his every move, the servant would even suspect that this person was here to cause trouble. The herbs he mentioned all sounded like made-up names.
Gu Xi could not help but sigh.
However, the servant seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the picky customer and did not feel very hopeful.
“Oh right! We have some precious seeds here. Maybe there’s something you want. Do you want to take a look?”
