While reviewing the "Compendium of All Medicines," Ye Xiruo analyzed the properties of the mixed poison. If it couldn't be completely cured in a short time, it would be good to be able to develop a medicine to alleviate the toxicity.

"Junior sister, time is of the essence. I think it would be better if we split up."

How should we split up and act separately?

"Here's the thing, Yingxun and I will stay at the Bai residence to observe the situation of the Bai family head. You go to the You Ran Ju library to check the information and see if there are any relevant clues."

"Great idea, I'll head to Youranju right now."

Ye Xiruo sent the news from the Bai residence to Bai Chang immediately.

"Someone, stay close to her."

Xiu Qiyu was worried about Ye Xiruo leaving alone, so she set off with her back to Youran Residence. Along the way, they walked through bustling alleys and streets with many people, giving Bai Chang no chance to make a move, and then successfully returned to Youran Residence.

Just then, Old Wang was on duty, so Ye Xiru bribed him with a bottle of spirit wine and asked him where the books, records, and notes about various poisons and spirit medicines were located.

“Little girl, there are hundreds of books just based on what you’ve mentioned.”

"It's alright. I just knew I did terribly in the second round of tests, so I wanted to study hard and improve every day to make up for my shortcomings and not embarrass You Ran Ju."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang chuckled: "It's kind of you to think so much about Youran Residence. If the Pavilion Master knew, he would be very pleased."

"Who is the Pavilion Master? I don't think I know him."

"What I mean is that if the Pavilion Master knew that Youran Residence had such diligent and ambitious people, he would be very pleased. You are all the pride of Youran Residence, and the Pavilion Master hopes that you can all become great figures who command respect in your respective regions."

"Please rest assured, Elder Wang, I will certainly not let the Pavilion Master down. I'm going to the library to read now. Oh, and I offended the second young master of the Bai family—no, to be precise, that idiot second young master of the Bai family offended me, so I killed him. I hope everything will be alright!"

"No, in Mo City, our Youranju still has some influence. The major families will at least give us some face. This second young master of the Bai family is just an illegitimate son and has little right to inherit. He's not worth worrying about. Let him die if he wants."

"He threatened to kill me."

"He dares."

"That's what I said too. He said, 'If you don't believe me, just wait and see.' His eyes were full of murderous intent. Old Wang, if I'm ever hacked to death, poisoned, or blown up on the street, the murderer will definitely be this second young master of the Bai family."

"Alright, I'm aware of this matter. I will report it. As for what to do next, we'll see what the higher-ups decide. In the next few days, focus on researching in the Youranju Library. By the time you come out, the matter might be resolved."

"In that case, I am truly grateful to Elder Wang."

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

And so, Ye Xiruo got a taste of her own medicine from the second young master of the Bai family. "Hmph, you wanted to kill me the moment you saw me? I'll show you how you're going to kill me." The name of You Ran Ju is really useful.

Ye Xiruo went to the library to look up information. Xiu Qiyu was not comfortable with the people in the courtyard, so he went back first. Besides, he was not a member of Youran Residence and could not enter the library of Youran Residence at all.

When Ye Xiruo comes out to return to the Bai residence, she will send a message to Xiu Qiyu, who will then come to escort her back.

"Little Leaf, hang in there, take good care of yourself."

"You too, Brother Xiu Qi."

The two parted ways cleanly and decisively.

Indeed, the library is the most important place for every faction, and also the place with the highest combat strength. The library of You Ran Ju may look simple, but it is actually heavily guarded and full of hidden talents.

Those petty scoundrels who try to sneak in and fish in troubled waters will be utterly destroyed.

The identity verification process alone requires three steps: an identity token, a mental energy fluctuation, and a manual check to see if the person has been possessed.

Moreover, Ye Xiruo discovered that this library was actually located in a small world. This You Ran Ju was indeed very wealthy, having specially created a small world to house the library.

After passing the inspection, Ye Xiruo obediently went straight to the bookshelves that Old Wang had mentioned to her, took out more than a dozen books, and began to browse through them.

When Ye Xiruo released her mental energy, the contents of more than a dozen books appeared in her mind at the same time; she was currently reading about elixirs and poisons.

With the ability to read ten lines at a glance, coupled with the boost of immense mental power, Ye Xiruo spent half an hour memorizing almost all the contents of these books.

Then, she switched to another dozen or so books. And so, Ye Xiruo frantically flipped through the books in the library, searching for the information she needed.

The library has a number of people, but not too few either, maybe thirty or forty alchemists!

The elders of the library usually rest with their eyes closed. Occasionally, when they are awake, they will subconsciously check on the alchemists below to see if there are any promising talents.

Grand Secretary Su had just woken up from his meditation and was now observing all the alchemists with his divine sense.

Then, he saw Ye Xiruo's incredible performance.

This little girl is extraordinary. To possess such immense spiritual power at such a young age is truly remarkable. Moreover, this spiritual power is pure and highly concentrated, clearly the result of her own hard work and cultivation, rather than obtained through any underhanded means.

She reads very quickly, and with her memory, she's sure she can remember these things, rather than just flipping through the pages.

After spending a full day and night, Ye Xiruo finally finished reading all the classics and books on spiritual herbs, and further expanded the inventory of the "Great Compendium of Ten Thousand Herbs", supplementing the descriptions, attributes and combinations of some spiritual herbs that were not recorded in the "Great Compendium of Ten Thousand Herbs" before.

The result of her mental energy being activated at such a high level was that Ye Xiruo's head felt like it was about to explode.

Well, in that case, I guess I'll just have to rest for now. If I don't rest, things won't be efficient later on.

As the saying goes, sharpening your axe won't delay your chopping wood; only by adjusting yourself to your best state can you absorb more knowledge.

The best way to restore mental energy is to sleep, but Ye Xiruo had no interest in sleeping right now. So, Ye Xiruo indulged herself and used a drop of Cleansing Dew. After refining it, she was indeed sharp-witted and energetic, and the mental energy she had depleted was instantly replenished.

Well, my mental strength has recovered, but my physical strength hasn't. Ye Xiruo took out a beggar's chicken, tore off a thigh, and started eating to replenish her strength.
