That evening, Elder Lianqing specially went up the snow mountain to deliver spirit stones to Ye Xiruo. She had indeed tasted the pills Ye Xiruo had refined, and their effects were indeed much better than ordinary pills. No wonder they were so popular. Including this income, she had a total of ten thousand high-grade spirit stones. And Ye Xiruo herself was only a fifth-grade alchemist. One could imagine that when she became a seventh or eighth-grade alchemist in the future, her income would be the envy of most people.
However, seeing how Ye Xiruo loves spirit stones so much that she wishes she could split a low-grade spirit stone in two, it really makes me grit my teeth in anger.
Elder Lianqing sat on a stool, drinking the Junshan Silver Needle tea that Ye Xiruo had brewed.
"This is a spirit stone."
"Wow, that's great! More spirit stones have come in. I'm so poor!"
Elder Lianqing rolled her eyes silently. This guy was the least qualified to complain about being poor on the entire Saintess Peak. If he didn't live in the snow mountain, countless people would have tried to kidnap him and rob him. Poor? If this counts as poor, then apart from the Saintess and the Supreme Elder, probably no one on Saintess Peak is rich.
"You're only making money every day but not spending any. You're not hiding all your spirit stones to use as bedding, are you?!"
"How could that be! How could you wrong me again?"
"The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, you've seen it before. This thing is a bottomless pit; no amount of spirit stones can fill it. And the soul-nourishing herbs I use are all ridiculously expensive. Plus, now that I'm a fifth-grade alchemist, I need to collect more high-grade spiritual herbs. What if I accidentally advance to a ninth-grade alchemist one day and have no spiritual herbs to use? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"
Elder Lianqing said she never wanted to chat with Ye Xiruo again. Look at what she was saying, was it appropriate to be so boastful?
"When you go out, remember not to say you are Ye Xiruo."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you might accidentally get beaten to death."
Ye Xiruo looked completely innocent. "Why did you kill me?"
"Have you decided when to set off?" After finishing her tea, Elder Lianqing should take her leave.
"Let's leave tomorrow! I'm so excited I can't sleep."
"The Holy Maiden is still in seclusion and cannot send you away."
"I understand, it's alright."
"Tomorrow night, Elder Lianchi and I will escort you back."
Why not in the morning?
"It's more secluded and safer at night."
Calculating the time, she realized it had been almost two months since she had seen Brother Xiu Qi. In the space, her master and the others had been cultivating for sixty years.
With a cultivation cheat device like the Time Cultivation Room, I'm sure Master and the others will be able to leave their names on the Heavenly Ranking.
It's a pity she can only participate next time. Oh well, she'll just watch from the sidelines. Who knows what life will be like sixty years from now?
Lying in bed, Ye Xiruo was wide awake and quickly browsed through the jade slips compiled by Su Shaxuan. They contained information about alchemists' cultivation, as well as illustrations of medicinal herbs. While the Pill King Palace also possessed these, the books from Saintess Peak were clearly much older, recording many herbs that had long been lost to the continent and some that had been renamed.
I will definitely take the opportunity to thank Sister Su Sha properly in the future; her kindness is truly precious.
I remembered she still had a book to return. I decided to take advantage of the beautiful moonlight tonight and finish reading the remaining half, then return it first thing tomorrow morning.
Although there is a high chance of encountering that cold-faced and ruthless Supreme Elder, she is about to leave anyway, so what is there to be afraid of?
Ye Xiruo quickly flipped through the book in her hands while lying in bed. These were things she absolutely had to remember. What if one day she came across an incredible treasure but didn't recognize it and missed out? Wouldn't that be tragic?
After finishing her cultivation the next morning, Ye Xiruo rushed to the library.
"Young Master, shall I go in with you?"
"No need, I'm just returning a book, I don't think they'll make things difficult for me."
Elder Lianqing was still somewhat worried.
Don't worry!
This time, she didn't see that arrogant old lady. Ye Xiruo returned the book first and then went straight to the third floor. The higher the floor, the more valuable the books became, and since she was already there, she couldn't just miss out.
The third floor houses thousands of books, including cultivation techniques, movement techniques, and books specifically on alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman drawing. The lowest level is Earth-grade, and there are also many Heaven-grade techniques. These are simply displayed on the shelves, demonstrating the formidable foundation and heritage of Saintess Peak. Unlike the first floor, the third floor is sparsely populated. What Ye Xiruo doesn't know is that the third floor, as the core of the library, is off-limits to core disciples unless they have made a significant contribution to the sect or exchanged an exorbitant amount of merit points for entry.
The elders can come and go as they please, but they still need to exchange contribution points.
Ye Xiruo went straight to the alchemy area and picked out three notebooks, all precious notes left by an Emperor-level alchemist from a thousand years ago. These were incredibly valuable to Ye Xiruo, so she couldn't miss them. There were also three large volumes of complete elixir manuals and two volumes of complete elixir formula manuals. After looking at the elixir section, she strolled around the talisman drawing and light-footwork sections, randomly picking out about ten books before heading downstairs.
The three-story building was still guarded by two terrifying old women. Ye Xiruo, holding the book in her arms, said, "I want to make a copy and take it with me."
The old lady glanced at Ye Xiruo indifferently, then looked at the book Ye Xiruo was holding, nodded, and tossed a few jade slips to Ye Xiruo: "Take it aside and copy it yourself. After you're done, put the book back."
“Okay.” Ye Xiruo’s eyes lit up. She had been prepared to be put in a difficult position, but she hadn’t expected this Supreme Elder to be so easy to talk to, nodding in agreement so casually. This was wonderful.
Ye Xiruo spent two hours copying all the books she had chosen onto jade slips, and then went to the sword techniques section to select about ten more cultivation techniques, which she also copied.
"Thank you, Elder."
Ye Xiruo walked out of the library without any problems. Elder Lianqing was still waiting outside. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ye Xiruo came out unharmed.
Are you alright?
Ye Xiruo shook her head: "Let's go back and talk!"
"You mean the Supreme Elder gave you a jade slip and told you to carve it yourself?"
Ye Xi nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, you're alright and have gained a lot, so it's worth celebrating."
Little did Ye Xiruo know that ever since Xinzhi made things difficult for her last time and was ordered into seclusion, everyone else in the library knew what that person meant. Who would be so foolish as to offend Ye Xiruo? Since that person no longer cared, why should they care? They could just turn a blind eye.
