CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 154: ENCOUNTERING LIN QIONGYU AGAIN

Since the senior sister can’t practice alchemy, wouldn’t her eavesdropping on the master’s alchemy now be a waste of effort?

It really leaves the young girl puzzled.

Qing Jun glanced at the senior sister who was still intently listening to the master’s alchemy, yawned, and like a pure white kitten, nimbly slipped into the covers.

"Master... Master..."

Zhiwei rubbed the jade pendant, muttering to herself.

Her ears were almost perked up.

As a disciple, secretly learning the master’s skills is very normal!

Zhiwei believed that a disciple should put in such effort to eavesdrop on the master.

That’s only natural!

She’s just trying to learn skills, what’s wrong with that?

Chen Ye naturally didn’t know that at this moment there was a disciple still eavesdropping.

Although he was already in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, he was not wary of the jade pendant taken from the disciple.

After all, the jade pendant was given by Mao Qingzhu and worn by Zhiwei.

Seeing that Zhiwei had already refined it, he didn’t refine it again.

Anyway, wearing it could also have the effect of calming the mind, and he was too lazy to refine the disciple’s magical artifact.

"In the end, it’s the Concentration Pill that has the greatest effect on me... Qi Nourishing Pill refined to top grade would be given to the disciples to eat, unless I could get the pill formula for the Solid Essence Pill."

Chen Ye took out the Hundred Herbs Pill Scripture, his gaze falling on the Concentration Pill.

However, the Concentration Pill is a second-tier pill formula, and its difficulty of refining is far greater than other first-tier pill formulas.

However, in fact, the three second-tier pill formulas in the Hundred Herbs Pill Scripture—Concentration Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, Evil-Suffering Pill—can only be regarded as pseudo-second-tier pill formulas, because these three pills are actually for cultivators in the Qi Cultivation stage.

Compared to pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators, the difficulty drops by a level.

This is also why Li Guangzong, with his Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, the time required for refining is very long, as Li Guangzong took nearly two months to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Chen Ye thought about it, and right now he only had one Concentrating Spirit Grass, which Li Guangzong had bought at an auction.

The Concentrating Spirit Grass is expensive, and if the refining fails, the costly spirit plant would be wasted.

He planned to wait until he refines the other pill formulas to the realm of great success or above, and then attempt the Concentration Pill.

...

After a night of alchemy, time slipped away quickly.

Morning.

Chen Ye had long since packed up his belongings.

Peach Mountain District is near Yunxi District, especially Lisong Medicine Garden, which lies at the border of the two districts.

This time going to Peach Mountain District, there might be a chance to return to Yunxi District, to see his old home in Shunshui Street and visit the Dark Old Man’s family.

Both Chen Ye and his two disciples were full of anticipation for this journey.

"Oh my, have we brought everything? Why does Qing Jun feel like something is missing?"

The little girl anxiously checked her storage bag again and couldn’t help but look around the house one more time.

"What could you possibly have?"

Chen Ye rolled his eyes at Qing Jun.

This little girl, she keeps turning back again and again as they leave, always thinking something is missing.

"You stinky master! This trip will take a year and a half, if there’s something missing, it’ll be troublesome to come back for it!"

The little girl spoke righteously, glanced at the stone table in the courtyard, and pinched her delicate chin,

"Master, do you think we can take this table? Qing Jun finally carved a Go board on it..."

Chen Ye rubbed his forehead but still, amidst the little girl’s cheers, put the stone table into the storage bag.

Anyway, the storage bag was empty...

Just at this moment, a hearty laugh came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Brother Chen! Where are you headed today?"

Chen Ye looked towards the voice and saw Li Yanfeng standing with hands behind his back outside the gate, dressed in the neat attire of an instructor, his usual sternness replaced with a camaraderie among swordsmen.

Hmm?

Chen Ye had long known that Li Qiuyun’s father was Li Yanfeng.

However, Li Yanfeng seemed unaware that his daughter was Chen Ye’s guided disciple.

Chen Ye cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Li, what brings you here?"

"Ah! I heard that a few days ago, there was a Spirit Plant Cultivator whose Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique was brought to the point of perfection, capturing three Inner Sect disciples. I thought deeply, and this Spirit Plant Cultivator must be Brother Chen."

Li Yanfeng stepped into the courtyard, his gaze landing on the iron sword behind Chen Ye, full of admiration.

He hadn’t expected that Chen Ye could actually cultivate the Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique to the Fourth Layer!

Even he himself was still at the Third Layer!

This person’s talent in Sword Dao exceeded his own, only it’s a pity he was a bit older.

If he had come to the Lingyin Sect earlier, maybe the sect would have produced a Foundation Establishment cultivator skilled in flying swords!

Li Yanfeng paused, then took a jade scroll from his storage bag and handed it over: "This is a manuscript on the contemplation of sword intent that I acquired by chance during my early travels. It might help you break through to the Thunderbolt Realm at the fifth layer someday."

Chen Ye accepted the jade scroll, his heart also filled with joy.

Lately, the proficiency of his Cyan Wave Sword Control Technique had slowed down, and with this manuscript as aid, it might help him break through to the fifth layer again!

As they were exchanging courtesies, yet another slender figure appeared at the courtyard entrance.

The person was dressed in a sky-blue Taoist robe, with a graceful figure and an assertive presence; it was Li Qiuyun.

Upon seeing his daughter, the smile on Li Yanfeng’s face instantly fell, his brows furrowed, and his tone became stern: "Qiuyun! What are you doing here? Could it be you are here to disturb Brother Chen’s quiet cultivation?"

Li Qiuyun was stunned by her father’s sudden reprimand, her pretty face blushing with a mix of shame and embarrassment.

How could she have known her father would be here!
