Shaking its head, the nine-colored deer said, "No … increasing your strength is useless to you. No matter how hard you train, you won't be able to become an Emperor without a few thousand years." Looking deeply into Yan Guilai's eyes, the nine-colored deer said, "Therefore, what you need to do now is to increase your alchemy skills. When you become a grade-9 alchemist one day, you can come to me and obtain the three thousand spiritual herbs to refine the Emperor Pill. That way, you will be able to leap forward.
You will become an Emperor in no time! "
Nodding his head in realization, Yan Guilai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, just as the nine-colored deer had said, although Yan Guilai had the potential to become an Emperor, no matter how talented he was, no one could become an Emperor without more than three thousand years of training.
Therefore, if he wanted to become an Emperor within three thousand years, refining the golden elixir, which was the Emperor Pill, was the only way. There were no other possibilities.
Nodding his head, Yan Guilai asked, "Oh right, can humans live in the Hundred Herb Floor?"
Faced with Yan Guilai's question, the nine-colored deer pondered for a moment, then said, "No, humans eat the five grains, which would cause too much damage to the Hundred Herb Floor. You have to know that … no spiritual herbs grow in the areas where humans live."
Looking deeply into Yan Guilai's eyes, the nine-colored deer said, "There is definitely a conflict between humans and spiritual herbs. Where there are humans, there will be no spiritual herbs. And the places where spiritual herbs grow are usually places where humans rarely go."
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Yan Guilai knew that he was being too naive.
In fact, if you thought about it carefully, you would know that it was impossible to grow elixirs in any big city. It was impossible to suddenly dig out a thousand-year-old ginseng from the grass on the side of the road while walking in the city. This was completely impossible.
At first, Yan Guilai had wanted to use the Hundred Herb Floor as the last habitat for mankind. However, it seemed like he would have to destroy the Hundred Herb Floor if he wanted to.
While he was deep in thought, the nine-colored deer said, "Since I've already agreed to work with you, then … there's no need for me to open up the Hundred Herbs Floor. If there's nothing else, I'm going to move everyone out of the tower."
Hearing the nine-colored deer's words, Yan Guilai pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "Alright, speaking of which … it's a waste to give these medicinal ingredients to them. These people can't refine decent pills at all."
Nodding its head, the Nine-colored Deer replied, "Indeed. It's one thing if it's just not suitable for the Hundred Herbs Tower, but more importantly … these children don't cherish the Hundred Herbs Tower at all. After digging out the medicinal herbs, they didn't even flatten the ground, and their actions were so careless that they harmed many innocent flowers and plants."
What was even more intolerable to the Nine-colored Deer was that many of the medicinal herbs that weren't mature yet and had very low medicinal properties, and couldn't be used to refine pills, had been dug out by these children.
One had to know that medicinal herbs that weren't mature yet were useless even if they were dug out. Their medicinal properties were so low that they were no different from weeds. Since that was the case, why dig them out?
Hearing the nine-colored deer's words, Yan Guilai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In order to exchange for points, these children would naturally dig out medicinal herbs whenever they saw them. They didn't care whether they were mature or not, whether they had sufficient medicinal properties or not. After all, as long as it was a medicinal herb, it could be exchanged for points.
However, from a development perspective, the digging of medicinal herbs had to be done in a development perspective.
Medicinal herbs that weren't mature enough not only couldn't be dug out, but also had to be protected. Wasn't the way they were digging now draining the pond to catch all the fish? If this continued, the Hundred Herbs Floor would be destroyed in a few years' time.
Seeing that Yan Guilai supported its idea, the nine-colored deer emitted a nine-colored glow around its body. As the glow radiated, the examinees who were searching for and digging out medicinal herbs were all moved out of the Hundred Herbs Floor.
Looking at the nine-colored deer, Yan Guilai said, "Alright, it's getting late. It's not suitable for me to stay for too long. Otherwise … it would be very troublesome for me if someone were to see through me."
The nine-colored deer smiled proudly and said, "Then you don't have to worry. Given your current strength, coupled with your Seven Star Ancient Sword and that unique protective technique, no one has the right to hurt you."
After a pause, the nine-colored deer continued, "If someone really dares to make a move on you, I can send out nine ten-thousand-year-old ginseng spirits to help you!"
Waving his hand, Yan Guilai smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. As the saying goes, the less trouble the better. I don't want to attract too much attention."
Nodding its head, the nine-colored deer said, "Alright. I only hope that you understand that my support for you is limitless … once you reach the level of the Emperor, I will cooperate with you to refine this Hundred Herbs Floor. At that time, you won't have to fear anyone."
Oh?
Looking at the nine-colored deer in confusion, Yan Guilai said, "Why … does this Hundred Herbs Floor have other functions besides nurturing herbs?"
Proudly raising its chin, the nine-colored deer said, "Of course. You have to know … once this Hundred Herbs Floor is refined, it can be turned into an armor. Its defensive capabilities are so strong that even if it isn't invincible, there aren't many who can break it."
Happily nodding his head, Yan Guilai said, "Alright. Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious. Unfortunately … this Hundred Herbs Floor can only be refined by the Emperor."
Shaking his head, Yan Guilai said, "No matter what, you should send me out first. I don't want to be suspected."
Nodding its head, the nine-colored deer stood up. With a light step of its right foot, a green wooden box floated up from the ground and appeared in front of Yan Guilai.
Nodding its head at the wooden box, the nine-colored deer said, "Inside this wooden box are three thousand Hundred Herbs Pills. These Hundred Herbs Pills were formed from the Hundred Herbs Essence released by the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng spirits that died over the past ten thousand years."
Looking suspiciously at the wooden box, Yan Guilai said, "Could it be that these Hundred Herbs Pills can raise a martial artist's realm and strength?"
Nodding its head, the nine-colored deer said, "That's right. These Hundred Herbs Pills can be combined with the herbs from the first seven floors to refine the Martial Emperor Pills. If the refining method is right, it can be refined into thirty million Martial Emperor Pills!"
Hiss …
Hearing the nine-colored deer's words, Yan Guilai's expression changed. However, thinking about it carefully, these three thousand Hundred Herbs Pills were formed from the essence of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng that was at the Emperor's realm.
First of all, the Emperor's realm was already very terrifying. What was even more terrifying was that this Emperor's body was actually a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng. This was the most terrifying thing of all.
The first seven floors of the Hundred Herbs Floor contained the seven major types of herbs: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang. As for the eighth floor, it was where the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng spirits lived.
Generally speaking, the seventh and eighth floors were both the ginseng's territory. The only difference was that the seventh floor was where the thousand-year-old ginseng lived, while the eighth floor was where the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng lived.
As for the ninth floor, although it looked small, it was actually the largest floor.
The three thousand stars corresponded to three thousand herb fields that were tens of thousands of mu in size. In each field, there were nine spiritual herbs of the heavens and the earth. These were the herbs that were necessary to refine the Golden Pill, which was the Emperor Pill.
With a wave of his right hand, Yan Guilai put away the green wooden box. Once he improved his alchemy skills, he could refine thirty million Martial Emperor Pills with these Hundred Herbs Pills as the main ingredients. This was too terrifying.
The Hundred Herbs Floor's foundation was too deep. No matter who it was, once they gained control of the Hundred Herbs Floor, they would be able to dominate the world and become the ruler of this world!
As he sighed, a light flashed around Yan Guilai. Nine beautiful ladies and nine three-legged golden crows instantly appeared beside Yan Guilai.
Nodding at the nine-colored deer, Yan Guilai put away the nine beautiful ladies and the nine three-legged golden crows. In the next moment … a light flashed and Yan Guilai was teleported out of the Hundred Herbs Floor. He appeared in the crowd outside the floor.
Rumble!
Following Yan Guilai's appearance, in the next moment … a violent rumbling sound was heard. At the open door of the Hundred Herbs Floor, a vermillion door panel fell down and completely sealed off the entrance.
Obviously, from now on, apart from Yan Guilai and his subordinates, no one else could enter or leave the Hundred Herbs Floor as they pleased.
From this moment on, the Hundred Herbs Floor became Yan Guilai's private territory. No one could enter without Yan Guilai's permission.
