A month later, Yi Tian looked at the map in his hand and found that he was still a few hundred miles away from the Medicine Valley. After the matter in Dongjiang Country was settled, Qu Yifeng and his fellow disciples from the Discipline Hall escorted the two captives back to the sect.
Yi Tian learned from the conversation with Hua Shi Cheng that Hua Shi Cheng had used up all his resources to forcefully reach the Foundation Establishment stage. In addition, the hidden injuries from many years ago had not been cured properly. It was already fortunate for him to be able to reach the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime. If he wanted to reach the late stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, he would have to find some heavenly treasures or go to the Medicine Valley to ask for the Spirit Nourishing Pill.
There were still two and a half years before the Xuan Ling Sect's Great Xuan Ling Reward. Yi Tian's cultivation was temporarily at the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. It would be better for him to visit Zhu Chen in the Qihuang Sect and ask about the Spirit Nourishing Pill. Zhu Chen had blackmailed him once in the Nine Heavens Restaurant. Although it was a real deal, Yi Tian felt that it was not a big deal. This time, meeting Zhu Chen could be considered as accepting Zhu Chen's invitation.
The distance from Dongjiang Country to the Medicine Valley was not far, about two thousand miles. However, Yi Tian did not dare to go there as a disciple of the Chiyang School. On the surface, the three sects in the north were independent, but the Qihuang Sect had a close relationship with the other two sects.
The Medicine Valley was located in the northeast of the Dong Ao Continent. Just like the Chiyang School, the sea was to the east. Therefore, Yi Tian slowly flew north along the coastline. If there were any cultivators passing by, they would keep a safe distance of more than ten miles and not disturb each other.
Along the winding coastline, Yi Tian flew and stopped. Every time he arrived at a place, he would take out a map and mark it. The map he took from the Chemistry City was very detailed in the south. However, the further north he went, the more problems he found. Many places weren't clearly marked. Therefore, Yi Tian didn't dare to advance rashly. He didn't want to accidentally intrude into the Cultivation Aristocratic Families or places like the Elixir Valley of the Qihuang Sect.
The entire Medicine Valley was a paradise for the inner sect disciples of the Qihuang Sect. Regardless of whether it was external visits, requests for pills, or detoxification, they were all carried out in the outer sect, which was thirty miles away from the Medicine Valley. All visiting cultivators had to request for medicinal pills or pill refiners in the Outer Sect's Hall of Requests. Only Jin Dan cultivators could directly enter the Inner Sect's important area.
When Yi Tian arrived, he found that the entire Outer Sect was like a huge market. There were many cultivators who came to request medicinal pills, but there were even more cultivators who came to sell medicinal herbs. According to the information he obtained from the market, the entire Qihuang Sect consumed medicinal herbs in a year. Most of them were reserved for pill refiners in the Qi Refinement stage. Most of the medicinal herbs used by high-level pill refiners were cultivated in the sect or found in those secret realms.
After walking through a few streets, Yi Tian found a spiritual plant shop. Looking at the signboard, he saw that it said "Weipin Zhai". There were also some signs on the wall that asked for missions or spiritual plants. Yi Tian suppressed his cultivation to the early stage of Foundation Establishment and put on a human-skinned mask before entering the Qihuang Sect. Seeing that this shop even had the most complete catalog of spiritual plants in the Dong Ao Region for sale, Yi Tian suddenly had an idea. Out of the two seeds he had obtained from Xie Chuanjie, one of them was of poor quality, and the other one was left in his storage ring. Now that he had the opportunity to come to the medicinal valley, he could identify it.
After entering the shop, a waiter came to receive him. When he saw that Yi Tian was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he directly invited him to the second floor. After the waiter served tea, he asked the honored guest to wait for a moment and then closed the door. Yi Tian waited in the room for less than half a quarter of an hour before a spiritual plant master in the shop pushed the door open and came in.
When Yi Tian looked up, the two people in the room suddenly said the same thing, "How come it's you?" The person who came in was Zhu Xin. This was the second time Yi Tian met her. The first time was at the Nine Heavens Tower, and the second time was at the medicinal pill exchange in the Fanxing City's City Lord Mansion.
The mask Yi Tian was wearing now was the same one he used during the medicinal pill exchange, so Zhu Xin recognized him as soon as she came in. The two of them looked at each other. Zhu Xin's aura wasn't weak either. She lost last time, but she lost because of her alchemy technique.
In fact, Zhu Xin also admired Liu Piaopao and Yang Liuqing for being able to suddenly come up with the idea of breaking the norm to refine the Qiankun Pill. Even after the incident, Zhu Chen said, "This defeat wasn't unjust. Both of them added a supplementary material. The Qihuang Spiritual Rock Milk only facilitated the fusion of the Yin and Yang medicinal materials. This point was actually directly bypassed by the other party. Moreover, the Xuanling Clear Liquid can indeed increase the grade of the medicinal pill. Overall, Liu Piaopao's side is still better."
It was really a coincidence that they met again. Zhu Xin wasn't prepared to let the person in front of her go. She had to get the refining method out of him.
Looking at Zhu Xin's aggressive appearance, Yi Tian also had a lingering fear. A strong dragon couldn't suppress a snake in its old haunts. He didn't dare to act rashly in the Qihuang Sect's territory. Last time, he had to take out the pill formula for the Barrier Breaking Pill from Jin Dan. If they knew that he swaggered into the Qihuang Sect, he would definitely be chopped up and fed to the dogs.
Then, she heard Yi Tian ask, "This humble one came here mainly to buy a Spiritual Plant Catalog. Does your noble house have a detailed scroll for sale?"
Zhu Xin's imposing manner didn't diminish. She walked over and sat down. Then, she spoke frankly with assurance, "You don't look like an alchemist to me. Your method of sorting herbs is so rough. I really don't know how Liu Piaopao found you. However, to be honest, your alchemy techniques aren't bad. Do you mind sharing them?"
In fact, Zhu Xin was deliberately probing. Alchemy techniques were a secret that couldn't be passed down. Generally speaking, it was passed down from master to disciple, father to son. If the person in front of her was an alchemist, he definitely wouldn't agree.
However, Yi Tian was only an alchemist for a month. How could he know the intricacies of this? He casually took out a jade slip and copied the Dual Flame Rotation Refining Technique that Liu Piaopao had created when refining the Heaven and Earth Pill. Then, he said, "How about this, I'll use my alchemy techniques to exchange for your Spiritual Plant Catalog. What do you think? If you're still lacking spirit stones, I can give you a refund. In short, I won't let you suffer a loss."
Before Yi Tian finished speaking, Zhu Xin directly said, "Deal." Then, she quickly took out a Spiritual Plant Catalog from her storage bracelet and copied it onto the white jade slip. Then, she exchanged it with Yi Tian.
Seeing the transaction go so smoothly, Yi Tian was filled with joy. The next step was to visit Zhu Chen. With Zhu Xin here, he only had to send a message and save himself the trouble of visiting.
As such, Yi Tian said, "Can I ask Miss Zhu Xin to send a message to your brother? Just say that an old friend from the Six Sect's secret realm has come to visit."
Zhu Xin only looked at Yi Tian with surprise. She thought, "This person is actually her brother's old friend." She couldn't neglect him and directly took out the sect's jade slip to send a message to Zhu Chen. Then, she got up and quickly left.
Only Yi Tian was left in the room. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yi Tian used his Divine Sense to look at the seed in the Spiritual Plant Catalog. However, after flipping through it, he only found a seed called the Green Jade Gourd that was 70% similar. However, the Green Jade Gourd's seed clearly stated that it could be used to store spirit liquids such as Tianyi Divine Water, Qi Huang Spirit Rock Milk, or Xuanling Clear Liquid to ensure that its spirit energy wouldn't be lost within 100 years.
After thinking for a bit, Yi Tian ordered a servant to take a look at the Green Jade Gourd and a few gourd seeds. However, when he received them, he found that the spirit energy contained within the Green Jade Gourd wasn't as high as he imagined. Moreover, the seeds were as described in the Spiritual Plant Catalog. They were far from his own and even the spirit energy contained within was far inferior.
Just as he was wondering, the door opened. This time, Zhu Chen came in with Zhu Xin. Yi Tian immediately got up and cupped his hands, "Brother Zhu Chen, we meet again after many years."
Zhu Chen also joked with a smile, "Should I call you Yang Liuqing, or the masked refiner, or brother tiger-headed man, or …"
Seeing this, Yi Tian didn't dare to let him continue. He hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm now Yang Liuqing, the external alchemist of the Apricot Forest Hall. You and I can call each other brothers." Actually, Yi Tian was already sweating under the mask. Just based on the fact that he had visited the Scarlet Sun Sect's camp after the trial, he knew that he would not be able to hide anything from Yi Tian. However, if he were to reveal his true identity, Yi Tian would immediately leave.
Zhu Chen also stopped there, then he asked the two to sit down and talk. After the two sat down, Zhu Chen directly asked Yi Tian's intention. When he heard that Yi Tian asked for a 'spirit replenishing pill', his facial muscles twitched. Looking at Yi Tian's expectant eyes, Zhu Chen just opened a soundproof enchantment and said, "This' spirit replenishing pill 'is a level 5 elixir that can only be refined by Jin Dan cultivators. It is specially used to repair the foundation of Foundation Establishment cultivators. It can be regarded as a high-level elixir. I don't think your foundation was damaged when you were building the foundation. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to cultivate to the intermediate stage of Foundation Establishment."
Hearing such a result, Yi Tian also felt sorry for Hua Shi Cheng. It wasn't that he didn't try his best. If he wanted to find an alchemist to refine a level 5 elixir, he had to pay a corresponding price. Then Yi Tian also asked Zhu Chen if there were any elixirs or elixirs. The answer he got was that he could find some Foundation Replenishing Pills refined with innate spirit treasures that had a 30% to 40% effect.
Yi Tian could only help Hua Shi Cheng up to this point. He would just go back and buy more elixirs. Then Yi Tian took out the spirit plant technique and asked, "Brother Zhu Chen, do you know if your sect has more advanced spirit plant diagrams?"
Zhu Chen's face was also full of doubt. His sister just told him that Yi Tian came to buy the spirit plant technique. Moreover, she had already copied the complete spirit plant technique to him. Since Yi Tian had this question, then he must have a request.
Seeing Zhu Xin shake her head, Yi Tian also felt that this matter couldn't be done. However, Zhu Chen smiled and said, "Our sect's most complete spirit plant technique is the 'Ten Thousand Pages of Spirit Medicine' in the sect's Hidden Scriptures Pavilion. Even our sect's disciples need a large amount of sect contribution points to exchange for it. If you have the Universe Pill refining technique, then I might have a chance to exchange it for you."
After hearing this, Yi Tian suspiciously looked at the brother and sister in front of him and said, "Didn't I just give your sister the pill refining technique? How about this, I'll make a copy for you. Can you help me exchange it? "Then he looked at Zhu Xin, who was pretending to be ignorant, and Zhu Chen, who was about to explode.
