Chapter 54 - Checking the Jade Slip

After listening to him, the facial expressions of the three people were very complex. They didn't expect Yue Qianchou to be so knowledgeable. The kind of zoology, botany, natural science, and entomology were unheard of and became an eye-opener today.

The young Chen Feng was full of admiration, while Guan Yu was slightly embarrassed. Yue Qianchou seemed to notice the strange gaze from the White Fox and he decided to make his move.

Yue Qianchou remembered what he wanted to say. He said a bit embarrassedly, "Big Sister, there is something I need your help with."

The White Fox's bright eyes glanced at him as she heaved a gentle "Hmm."

Seeing that his big sister agreed, Yue Qianchou was overjoyed. He quickly pulled out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas and gave it to her, he said, "I know that Big Sister has many extraordinary techniques. There is something inside this jade slip that I want to see, unfortunately, it is under a lot of restrictions. Big Sister, help me open it please..."

Guan Yu and Chen Feng didn't bother with their conversation. The two went to the open space on the side and examined the botany that Yue Qianchou said.

The White Fox took over to jade slip to probe it. The eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Yue Qianchou asked a bit nervously, "Big Sister, can you get rid of it?"

The White Fox shook her head, the lips slightly said, "The one who set these restrictions possessed a high level of attainment in this. There are a total of seven restrictions that have been set. The first restriction had been unlocked. I can try to unlock the few former restrictions, but I have never seen the kind of restrictions for the few last in it, I will need to spend some time to unlock it. Otherwise, forcing to break it open will damage the content inside."

Finished saying, the delicate fingers made a seal toward the jade slip. Yue Qianchou knew she was unlocking the restrictions, be he couldn't understand it and felt it was very mysterious.

After three flashes of white light toward the jade slip, the fingers movement stopped. It only took a few breaths of time, then she returned the jade slip and said, "Of the remaining six restrictions, I have unlocked the first three restrictions. For the last three restrictions, I can't get rid of it for the time being. However, I have memorized it, it will take some time for me to decipher it."

Yue Qianchou took over the jade slip with a grin, "It's enough to unlock the three restrictions, the others are not urgent. Big Sister, please just think about it slowly."

The White Fox nodded and stared at him without saying anything, she turned to walk toward the bamboo house outside the garden.

At the other end, the sighs of surprise from Guan Yu and Chen Feng were apparent after the result of their experiment. Yue Qianchou was still smiling vividly over his jade slip. he walked past and saw Chen Feng, he suddenly remembered a person. Beside Chen Feng in Hundred Flowers Valley that day, he had also abducted a person who made and sold him the 'Immortal Divine Collapsing'. Yue Qianchou had visited his space several times but didn't see the guy at all, that was the talented person who he personally selected!

"Yunchang, I have something to ask you."

Guan Yu tidied the soil with his hands, with a smile he stood up and asked, "What is it?"

Yue Qianchou asked, "In addition to Chen Feng, I have brought another person in. How did I have never seen him at all? Where did he go?"

Guan Yu was taken aback, he then laughed, "You're asking about that guy ah?" He brought his mouth closer to Yue Qianchou and whispered a few words. Yue Qianchou's expression greatly changed as he was listening, he casually said, "He deserved it!"

Originally, the guy who sold him the smoker was taken in and his life essence was forcibly extracted the same way as Chen Feng. However, he was entranced by the White Fox's appearance and actually tried to conquer her with his 'Immortal Divine Collapsing'. Not knowing the heights of the heavens, he probably wasn't even aware of the consequence having his life essence stolen, his every move wouldn't escape the other party's awareness. The result was that the White Fox destroyed his life essence, his remains were turned into ash and became the flowers' fertilizer.

"Ai! What a waste of a good talent... Forget it, he brought it upon himself. Well, you guys keep it with your plays, I'll be going first, see ya!" Said Yue Qianchou somewhat regretted.

"Wait!" Guan Yu pulled him and said, "Remember to bring in a nest of bees when you come back. I want to understand the relationship between botany and zoology."

"Alright, I remember."

Having returned to his own room in the Immortal-Enchanting Island, Yue Qianchou carefully listened the outside and concluded that there was no movement. He proceeded to take out the jade slip containing the pills' formulas to take a look. The divine sense was injected into the first layer.

In fact, the first layer didn't contain any pill formula, it explained the alchemy's general idea and what to do. For example, what type of fire was best for alchemy, what kind of pill furnace that could improve the success rate of the medicinal pills. There was a whole lot of instructions.

For Yue Qianchou who was completely new to alchemy, this general idea that could bring him a headache was what he needed to understand the most. He read it attentively word for word as he tried to memorize it.

The second layer was still not about pill formula. When Yue Qianchou's divine sense entered, he felt that he had entered the seas of various spiritual plants. Not only the names and efficacy of various spiritual plants were described in details, even the appearance from small to large were vividly displayed before him, the level of detail was exquisite. Even the growing habits of each plant and the approximate locations to find were listed.

Yue Qianchou was shocked, not just shocked in general, but totally flabbergasted. Although he didn't know anything about spiritual plants and alchemy, he was aware that he possessed a priceless treasure. He was glad that such a precious thing fell into his hands by making a move on Liu Zhengguang.

After recovering shock, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but think back to the Pill Sect. He estimated that nobody could rival the Pill Sect attainment in the alchemy. Only by checking the first two layers, it already consisted of a very detailed record of the innumerable spiritual plants. It should take a lot of time and many generations to collect such a record, these two layers were already sufficient to make the jade slip as a world treasure. He believed that anyone could rebuild the Pill Sect with this jade slip alone, there would be no much obstacles.

It was impossible to memorize such amount of record in a short period of time. He could only heave a sigh and decided to do it slowly. Yue Qianchou divine sense crossed and entered the third layer.

From the introduction words of this layer, the inside held the record of various pills' formulas for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The medicinal pills' efficacy was written beside the name of the pills and the ingredients needed were written below it. It included the instruction such as the order and timing of putting the herbs into the refining process and the year of the spiritual plants needed, all of them were written out in detail. The problems that could arise during refining the plants and how to deal with it had also been marked.

Tsk Tsk! What a good thing! Even a completely ignorant person might be able to produce medicinal pills by lavishly following these instructions. I didn't expect that the Foundation Establishment cultivators can use so many medicinal pills to assist with the cultivation. However, it's really strange. Since the Pill Sect possessed such an attainment in the alchemy, they shouldn't be weak, how could they get exterminated?

Yue Qianchou was still checking the content, his eyelids suddenly rose. The word 'Foundation Establishment Pill' appeared and immediately caught his attention.

Chapter 53 - The Talent of Being a Teacher

Guan Yu saw his serious expression, he didn't ask anymore and immediately did what Yue Qianchou said.

A moment later, several flowers bloomed before the people.

Before the flowers progressed to wither, Yue Qianchou quickly plucked a flower of the previous plant and immediately brought it closer to the growing flower face to face. The flower's stamens came in close contact with the other's pistil, he did it again and again.

Guan Yu didn't understand what he was doing. Chen Feng stopped his work. Even the White Fox stared seriously at Yue Qianchou. The three people were curious as they gazed the plant in front of him.

Yue Qianchou suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it should be like this."

The three people saw an unexpected thing happened. The flower that had been dying unexpectedly didn't immediately wither. Instead, the central part began to grow and a fruit gradually formed, the petals on the side collapsed.

After being done by Yue Qianchou, the plant didn't wither, and the withering process turned into the bearing of fruit.

The three people on the side stared at Yue Qianchou with an unbelievable expression. Guan Yu exclaimed, "How is this possible?"

The problem that had been bothering him finally solved, Guan Yu was so excited he couldn't believe it, even the White Fox was unable to give him the answer, now his boss Yue had actually easily solved it.

The graceful figure of the White Fox flashed toward the plant that just bore fruit, the slender hand plucked the fruit and the nail pinched it, inside could be seen a few dark grains of seeds. She brought the fruit closer to her nose and sniffed it, a surprised expression appeared on the face.

Chen Feng's eyes that were originally full of resentment now stared at Yue Qianchou as if in admiration.

In fact, for Yue Qianchou, this was just a common sense problem in the past life. Because the flowers in this space never got pollinated by the insects and bees. These plants naturally could only bloom with pollinating and of course, they couldn't produce seeds without this process.

Placing it in the past life, this problem could even be solved by elementary school students. Now, it was a bit shocking to Yue Qianchou. Seeing that the three people stared at him with eyes vaguely showed some little stars of worship. Yue Qianchou was feeling proud and embarrassed, he grinned, "Don't admire Brother that much, Brother is just a wise man."

"Stop pretending! Say, what the hell is going on?" Said the White Fox, the fruit was still held in her palm.

Yue Qianchou smiled, he rubbed his nose and said, "Big Sister! This is a long story. It involves botany and biology. It is really a complicated knowledge, I'm afraid you won't understand it."

After speaking that, the thirsty look in the three people's eyes turned into confusion. Yue Qianchou said slowly, "It will be too complicated for you to understand it, I'll just explain a bit first. Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang, like there are the sun in the sky and the same moon. The light of time and the darkness of space. Everything on this earth is also divided into Yin and Yang, which is what we also call as male and female. Uh... I have made it as simple as I could, I don't know if it was too complicated, can you guys understand it?"

The three people nodded in unison and motioned him to continue.

"That's good, then I will continue to explain it, listen carefully." Yue Qianchou made a light cough with a fist in front of his mouth, then he continued, "Everything is born of Yin and Yang, you should easily understand whether it is people, pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, and other living things are divided into male and female. A man alone cannot bear a child, it's also the same for a woman, so there is a need of unification between a man and a woman, that is, the unification of Yin and Yang. The same is true for animals that walk on two feet or on four feet, I classify these living animals into zoology. zoology is a higher level of biology, biology refers to all living beings between heaven and earth, these living beings also contain plants, the so-called plants that I want to talk about are classified in botany. The amount of... I ask again, can you guys follow me?"

The three people nodded again. Although there was a little doubt in the minds of these people, the sophisticated words and the seriousness of Yue Qianchou eliminated that, the learning atmosphere was very strong.

Yue Qianchou was very satisfied with this situation. The fake role model said again, "What are plants? Flowers and trees that produce fruits and vegetables we usually eat belong to the category of plants, including the three of you now planting, they can naturally grow. Of course, this involves in a more advanced nature science, you won't understand it so I won't say. These plants are also living things, so they are classified in biology. Don't underestimate these plants, they are the same as animals in zoology. As I have mentioned earlier, there are also male and female and the need for unification. Guan Yu, you asked me why these plants didn't bear seeds, I will give you a detailed answer. Uh... I've gotten very thirsty, is there a water to drink here?"

"Yes!" Replied Chen Feng, then he grabbed a spoonful of water from the bucket.[1] He respectfully offered it to Yue Qianchou, although a bit of resentment could still be seen from him.

Yue Qianchou handed the spoon back to him after drinking the water and said, "Thank You." He continued, "Why did your planted flowers didn't bear any seed? Look here..." Yue Qianchou pointed to a plant full of flowers, he said, "There are a lot of flowers on them. They all look the same. Yes, although they all look the same, actually, these flowers also have the distinction of Yin and Yang. If they want to produce seeds, they will be like people. It is also necessary to unify Yin and Yang. However, they can't unify in the same way as men and women. Therefore, it is necessary to use the help of external forces. As I have just done earlier, is one of the means to help them unify."

When he heard this, Guan Yu uttered his doubt, "Is it? The flowers and plants in the outside world don't have people to unify them. How could they still bear the seeds?" Chen Feng and the White Fox also looked at him doubtfully, apparently agreeing with Guan Yu.

"Your question is very good, it involves the entomology in zoology." Said Yue Qianchou praising him, he continued, "The flowers in the wilderness of course without the help of people for the unification, it is by other animals, they are insects. What are insects? You should all have seen insects such as butterflies and bees right? If you observe closely, you will find that insects such as bees are attracted to all kinds of blooming flowers, when they made a contact with a flower, they are contaminated with the pollen of its flower, and when the moved and made a contact with another flower, they have become the medium of the flowers' unification. So those plants in the wilderness could also bear fruit and reproduce. If you don't believe me, I can bring some bees from the outside to breed here, then you'll know if I'm telling the truth."

After hearing his explanation, the three people realized that the habits of bees and butterflies they have seen were like that. Thinking about it, it really seemed to be the truth. Although the three people didn't express it, they have believed what he said was true.

Ai! I never thought that even with my noisy half bucket of water^[2], I actually have the talent to be a teacher, such unexpected! Yue Qianchou suppressed his inner feeling of satisfaction not to leak out, he smiled lightly and said, "Since you have learned about the problem, I don't need to go on the more complicated matter, it's enough to end it here..."

2. From the idiom of a full bucket of water is not noisy, a person full of wisdom is usually quiet; A half filled bucket is noisy, a person who has only partial knowledge is usually talk too much.↩

Chapter 52 - Purple Chaos

A spoonful of a purple object was poured into the small hole where one of the seeds was placed. Guan Yu quickly sealed the two holes with the soft soil around and immediately poured water from the bucket next to him. Yue Qianchou stared at him completing a series of movements then turned his gaze toward the soil.

Not long afterward, there was a crack in the soil that was penetrated by a few drops of water. Suddenly, the crack grew bigger and it was broken from the middle. A small conspicuous light green object was seen, it would be undetected without paying a close attention

Soon, the light green object was slightly shaken and gradually stretched out. A small green seedling appeared in front of him.

Yue Qianchou breathed in from his mouth and said, "That... That seed is germinating? How is it possible?" He stared at Guan Yu and asked again, "How did you do it?"

Guan Yu smiled at the green shoot and gestured for him to continue watching.

The small green shoot sprouted full of vitality, the branches spread into four and it continued to expand and grow at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The young leaves continued to multiply along the branches, the main trunk reached the height of human thighs. The beginning semi-transparent green trunk became brown, and the whole plant as if had finished, there was no more movement.

Aside from the growth process that was too rampant, no one could see the difference between this plant and other plants.

Is it done? Yue Qianchou regained his breath and just breathed out. Suddenly, the plant was moving again, the branches and leaves were shaking and attracted his attention.

The quietness of the plant seemed to be in order to brew something, the branches were trembling, there was something unusual growing on the branches, starting from a small bud and becoming larger and larger.

Afterward, there was something trying to break free from the buds, the fragile flowers burst out open. The bright colors began to bloom, it kept expanding and shaping. A few full bloomed flowers appeared in front of the eyes, the petals were bright and fresh, the stamens and pistil pleased the eyes.

Not long after, the people who stood on the side could smell the faint fragrance

In this way, a plant with more than a dozen flowers on its branches stood in front of the eyes. From the time of sowing, watering, germination, establishment, vegetative growth, budding, and flowering, it only took a tea time, it was really unbelievable.

Looking at this scene, Yue Qianchou held his breath for a long time. He slowly turned his face and his eyes fell on the bamboo tube in Guan Yu's hand. In addition to that spoonful of a purple object, he didn't find any abnormality during the planting process. It was clear that something in the bamboo tube was the key.

Guan Yu smiled at him and said, "I'll let you see again." Then he squatted and repeated the process to the other small hole. When he added the purple object, he added a more spoonful than before.

Soon, a seed grew into a swaying plant. Looking at the growth process, Yue Qianchou didn't find any difference with the former.

Looking at the two flowers stood together, the abnormality suddenly appeared. After the flowers bloomed, the petals were changing, the eye-catching bright colors eclipsed, it slowly dying of an old age. The flowers began to wither, the petals fell piece by piece, the stamens and the pistil shrink and fell down. The branches and leaves withered and turned yellow as it collapsed. Finally, only dead branches remained on the ground, it was in contrast to the full bloom flowers beside it.

"How is it?" Guan Yu shook the bamboo tube with a smile "Do you think I showed you a good thing?"

Yue Qianchou nodded his head and said, "It really is a good thing, to actually compress the growth process of a plant in the time of tea, really magical, but..." He suddenly pointed to the distant chaotic purple fog and asked, "What I want to know the most is, what method did you use to put that purple chaos into this small bamboo tube?" Just as the flowers withered, Yue Qianchou suddenly had this feeling, he guessed the object in Guan Yu's hand.

"Hah, I really can't hide the truth from you," Guan Yu wanted to tease Yue Qianchou but he didn't expect to be exposed so quickly. He raised the bamboo tube in his hand and exclaimed, "Although I don't know what it is, you should understand it better than me. You said that this is the purple chaos, then it should be purple chaos. I have only discovered the usefulness of this object purely by accident.

He looked into the distance purple chaos and said, "When I first saw this thing, I felt it was very strange. What was behind that purple? After strenuous efforts, I discovered that although this thing is soft, I couldn't even squeeze it open nor break it, let alone install it, it's really amazing. I thought you know something about it, now it seems that you don't."

Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Then how did you do it?"

"Haha, it was merely a coincidence. A few days ago I was hungry and went to roast rabbit meat on a stick, I had this weird idea. Although that purple chaos couldn't be broken even by a stone, it was unexpectedly scratched by the wooden stick in my hand. After trying several times with different objects, I discovered that this chaos purple is invulnerable to anything but a wood attribute object. So I dug it out with a wooden spoon and tried to store it, but in the end, it was still useless. It would eventually disappear whenever I store it, then I finally thought about using a bamboo as a storage since it is also a wood attribute. That's how I came into this, haha! Really useful," Said Guan Yu followed by his proud laugh.

"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou finally realized, he then pointed to the bamboo tube in the hand and pointed to the blooming flowers, "How did you know that it possesses this magical effect? Was it also accidentally discovered?"

Guan Yu secretly gazed at the White Fox, he smiled and said, "Well, I've been planting flowers every day, during the boring time, I had the impulse to see what it would be like to use this purple chaos as a fertilizer, so I scoop out from the tube, and the result.... The result startled me! It was that time I discovered this purple chaos possessed such a magical effect. After that, I tried several times to decide the right amount so I can control the growth rate of the flower plants."

"I would have never thought that such a treasure unexpectedly inside my own turf." Yue Qianchou heaved a sigh and said, "Is it also working on other kinds of plants? Yunchang, have you tried other things?

On the side, the White Fox stared at Guan Yu, it was her first time Guan Yu was also called as Yunchang.

Guan Yu nodded, "I have tried a few, it should be useful to grow any plants. However, I discovered a strange problem, the flowers and plants that we have planted were never bearing any seeds. Looking at it, it should be impossible, I can understand it if it is because there is no blossoming flower, but this is not the case. The same is true with the purple chaos, is it related to this place? Boss, you always said that this is your territory, I want you to explain it to me!"

Yue Qianchou also pondered the problem, as for Guan Yu's demand, he pretended not to hear it.

The two eyes swept across the blooming flower garden, he felt that there was something missing. The slightly frowning eyebrows suddenly loosened. Yue Qianchou pointed toward the dead branches that had just experienced the rise and fall, he said, "Yes, you just do it again just the way it was."

Chapter 51 - How in the World?

When Yue Qianchou thought of the pills' formulas, he hadn't looked at it thoroughly. He hadn't even comprehended the basic understanding of it, it would be far-fetched to fool Guan Weiwu. With this thought, he decided to stop drinking. Yue Qianchou emptied his wine cup, put it down, and said to the three people, "This Brother is not in good health, I will go back and rest first. Next time we have a time, please let me host the drink," Then he turned away.

The three people stared at him as he entered the house and closed the door. Ling Feng murmured, "It seems that he is still a little off."

"Nothing, he will naturally accept it after quite some time." Said Bei Zi.

Xuan Ping who was emptying his cup stared at the closed door and suddenly said, "Not necessarily." He continued to drink the wine. Ling Feng and Bei Zi didn't know exactly what he meant.

After Yue Qianchou closed the door, he immediately disappeared from the room. He desperately wanted to find the White Fox and hoped that she could help him solve the restrictions on the pills' formulas. Among the people he knew, he thought that the White Fox had that ability. The White Fox could set up a restriction formation depending only on a few spirit stones before, she might have a certain understanding about the restriction in the jade slip.

Back inside the golden bead, Divine Sense spread out and confirmed the location of the White Fox. Yue Qianchou focused his mind and he instantly appeared outside the garden.

At the flower garden, there were already a few people working in the field. Chen Feng seemed to have figured it out and was busy planting with Guan Yu. After seeing Yue Qianchou's arrival, the former stared at him and bowed his head, the cold hum uttered the dissatisfaction in his heart. The latter cheerfully nodded with a smile.

Yue Qianchou didn't bother with the two of them and shouted to the White Fox, "Big Sister!" He ran to her.

The White Fox's peerless appearance with a white robes stood between the greenery and flowers, it was refreshing to see. Her face frowned, she said, "Why do you suddenly come here so diligently, it seems to be less than a day since you came out."

Yue Qianchou could only smile embarrassedly, it was natural that he came to ask for help, but he was also thick-faced. Yue Qianchou casually said, "Has anyone told Big Sister that she has the capacity to overshadow the sun, obstruct the moon, and shame the flowers? I've been missing my big sister and couldn't wait to see her beauty again."

Hearing such a shameless and exaggerated flattery. Even the White Fox who used to hear her figure being praised couldn't stop the ripple in her mind, the face turned slightly red. Being a woman, who doesn't want to be praised for her look? Who doesn't want to hear the praise from someone close? Even deity was not an exception.

The heart under the bosom chest went a bit chaotic. Looking at it, she wanted to get angry but unable to do so, this rascal little brother needed some teaching. He often said some words that make women felt flustered. The White Fox couldn't bear it, although she didn't want to, she decided to put an angry look. Otherwise, the rascal would feel so proud of himself. The White Fox asked coldly. "Uttering flattering words again, What problem do you want me to help?"

The Big Sister knew so well about himself, she even pointed his own intention. Yue Qianchou was a bit embarrassed. He looked around and pretended not to hear and admired the flowers around him.

"What!" Yue Qianchou stared at the flower garden full of flowers in full bloom. If he remembered correctly, when the last time he came in, Guan Yu was clearly seen busily planting. At that time, it was less than a day, how could it happen?

How can it grow so fast? Did I mistake it? Yue Qianchou recognized that his memory was good. However, such a thing was not mistaken. He looked around the flower garden and checked his position. It shouldn't be wrong.

"This... When did these flowers were planted?" Asked Yue Qianchou while pointing to the flower garden. The White Fox didn't answer him. She turned her face to the side proudly and pretended to admire the flowers. This was to teach her little brother.

Yue Qianchou looked puzzled again and turned his gaze to Guan Yu. The latter beckoned to him, "Boss, want to know what's going on? Come here, I'll show you something good."

Guan Yu's words clearly showed that he knew what was going on and Yue Qianchou obviously remembered correctly. The problem laid on this flower garden. Yue Qianchou nodded and walked past, he asked, "What good thing to see?"

Guan Yu smiled, instead of answering, he reached out toward the storage bag in his waist and grabbed something from the inside. Yue Qianchou stared in seriousness and identified the two dark spots on Guan Yu's palm, after he long time he doubtfully asked, "Aren't these flower seeds?"

"How smart! Boss is really the boss! It is as you can see." Guan Yu stared at the two dark spots on his palm and continued, "Yes, these are two flower seeds."

"Shit, you dare to play me!" Yue Qianchou got angry, both palms fisted as his chest lifted up. This Guan Yu was getting cockier, Yue Qianchou thought that he needed to teach a lesson to the guy.

"Puchi!" The White Fox was laughing on the side, she covered her mouth as she laughed out loud, she seemed to be very happy seeing his little brother being embarrassed. Yue Qianchou was surprised, he turned his face to look and became dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw the White Fox was laughing so much. Under her laugh, all the flowers around her were overshadowed. He finally understood why the people of the past life described a beauty could cause the downfall of a nation.

Guan Yu and Chen Feng were no exception to become dumbfounded. They have never seen the White Fox behaved like that.

The White Fox apparently realized she was the focus of attention, her face instantly turned overcast, she stared coldly at the three people. The three people twitched in a chill and awakened.

"Ai, Big Sister! You are so fascinating, even the dead would come back to life." Yue Qianchou gave a weak hum and stared at Guan Yu while saying, "Forget it, looking at the smile of my big sister, I won't argue about what you're doing."

Guan Yu gave a sharp opposition, "What do you want to argue about? Do you think I'm deceiving you?" He immediately stretched out the palm holding the seeds and said, "Look carefully." Finished saying, Guan Yu squatted down and dug out two small holes in the soil. He turned his palm and the two seeds dropped into the two holes respectively.

Yue Qianchou was a peasant in the past life, he was naturally familiar with the land. Although he didn't plant flowers, he planted many crops. He stared at Guan Yu's movements and wanted to know what difference he had in planting and growing plants. If there was no difference, how could the flowers instantly have grown?

After Guan Yu putting the seeds, he reached out toward his storage bag to take out a small bamboo tube and a small wooden spoon. The bamboo tube was gently unplugged on the side, he then slowly scoop out a small quantity of thing from inside the bamboo. The thing that scooped out was purple-colored, Yue Qianchou felt it was familiar and seemed to have seen it before.

Chapter 50 - Drink More, Talk More

The people sat down around the stone table. The atmosphere after a few cups of wine suddenly changed, the four people felt relaxed. They talked to each other in a good manner. After some talking, Yue Qianchou also knew a little about the character of the three people. It was revealed that Ling Feng and Bei Zi were hearty and straightforward, they were people with a good temperament. This was rare in this self-sufficient world. While Xuan Ping spoke words like gold, his words often made people disheartened.

The characters of the three didn't need to be said, Yue Qianchou also felt that the three people also worth a pay. Not to mention that knowing a few friends in this unfamiliar place was not bad. Yue Qianchou asked some questions.

There wasn't any other reason beside he could sense the three people's cultivation were lower than him. Yue Qianchou found out that the three people annoyed the seniors and they were tasked to do heavy work that no one wanted to do. The bad luck was that the three people root bones were not very good, they had failed their first Foundation Establishment attempts and they would be expelled if they were to fail two more.

Yue Qianchou was a bit dumbfounded. What does it mean to be assigned here? Why should I put myself together with three people who have no future? Is Guan Weiwu the kind of person who destroys the bridge after he crossed? Will you disregard me after getting the command token?

Ling Feng seemed to see his frustration. After he lifted his hand and drank a cup of wine, he smiled and said, "You should have met with Yan Shu, I'm afraid there are some things you don't know yet. Yan Shu's Father manages some parts of the Immortal-Enchanting Island, he is Elder Yan Tuo. When Yan Shu joined Alchemy Pavilion some years ago, he originally wanted to take Elder Guan as a Master using his Father's influence. However, Elder Guan didn't give him a face. He refused him on the spot and assigned him to another master. Yan Shu is a narrow-minded man, a full-fledged villain. At that time, his anger was at the peak, but Elder Guan couldn't help it. After Elder Guan had risen name and position, he had received several disciples, but all without exception was killed by Yan Shu."

"Uh..." Yue Qianchou just drank the wine into his mouth and he almost spurted it out. He swallowed it and heard Bei Zi words, "Are you not afraid Senior Brother Yue? You're the disciple of Elder Guan... I hope you are an exception."

Yue Qianchou put down his wine cup, he stared at the three people and said, "Isn't that an exaggeration? Yan Shu killed Elder Guan's disciples just because he was rejected by him?"

"Shouldn't be wrong." Concluded Xuan Ping after he finished his cup. He didn't talk much, but his words were actually more effective than Ling Feng and Bei Zi to explain 10 sentences. Yue Qianchou completely broke his skeptical thoughts and unwillingly asked, "Did Elder Guan even take action after all his disciples were killed?"

Bei Zi laughed and said, "Haven't you heard of Elder Guan's nickname 'Mad Pill'? It is estimated that there is nothing that can occupy his mind beside alchemy. Even if a disciple were accepted today, the next day he might have forgotten about it. Do you think such a Master would care?"

Xuan Ping shook his head and said after another cup, "Unreliable."

Yue Qianchou was speechless, there was actually such a muddle-headed Master, how could the fate fell on him? He hated himself for being blinded that time, it was him who chose his own master. Mother! Father's life is bitter than a cabbage.

Ling Feng grabbed the jug beside Xuan Pin and filled Yue Qianchou's cup, "You should know that we have a lot of Nascent Soul cultivators here. If Yan Shu didn't use his father's name, he would be tasked to do odd jobs as a Core Formation cultivator instead of managing the new disciples, it looks like it does damage to your mind. Though I said that, but you don't have to worry too much. Immortal-Enchanting Island rules are not just furnishings, he doesn't dare to blatantly harm you, as long as you are vigilant, it won't be easy to kill you."

Yue Qianchou nodded his head and said nothing. His eyes flashed a cold gleam. The people around him didn't realize he made a determination to kill Yan Shu first. Adding that Yan Shu's mouth was really unbearable, he wanted to preserve his life without the fear of being hunted. There was no more consideration, not to mention there were already some disciples killed by him before.

However, in order to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment, he could only endure it for now, it was rare to join such a powerful sect after all. After thinking about what the three people had said, there were still some good things to expect. Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "Thank you fellow Brothers for reminding me, it is our first meeting, but I can say I'm not disappointed with it. I have heard that the Immortal-Enchanting Island is a world of paradise, but I haven't really experienced the beautiful scene here, could the three Brothers lead me to experience?"

Xuan Ping shook his head, "No."

Yue Qianchou asked, "Why?"

"Did Yan Shu tell you that any disciples who haven't reached Foundation Establishment stage yet are not allowed to walk outside the assigned area without permission?" Asked Ling Feng asked strangely, the other two people also gave a stare.

Yue Qianchou remembered that Yan Shu had told the rule to him. At that time, he thought that the man was just scaring the new guy so he didn't really think much about it, but now it seemed to be true. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there really such a rule? Why is that?"

"It's very simple," Ling Feng said, "Only Foundation Establishment cultivators can be regarded as true beginner disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island. They can freely enter and exit any places that have no restriction set according to the rules. Including the 'Scripture Pavilion' that includes a variety of cultivation manuals. Secondly, any sects possess secrets that don't want outsiders to know, Immortal-Enchanting Island is not an exception. The most important point is the unsuccessful attempts after three Foundation Establishment pills are given and the disciple will be expelled from the sect. Senior Brother Yue, you should now understand that anyone under the Foundation Establishment stage is not allowed to go around freely."

"I understand, so it is for a precaution that those disciples who have been expelled might reveal the secret of Immortal-Enchanting Island." Yue Qianchou frowned, then continued, "In other words, the disciples who have not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage are not considered a true disciple of Immortal-Enchanting Island."

Ling Feng got up and patted him on the shoulder while smiling, "You shouldn't think too much about it Senior Brother Yue. Looking at the whole cultivation realm, which sect disciples that have the opportunity to get three Foundation Establishment pills like our Immortal-Enchanting Island? I'm afraid there is no second to us. This alone is enough for other sect disciples to envy us. As far as I know, some of those disciples won't even get a single Foundation Establishment pill in their lifetime.

"Yeah," Bei Zi nodded. "I have figured it out for a long time. If I were to fail Foundation Establishment attempts for three times, I would have nothing to complain to be expelled from the Island. Everyone here has the same chance."

"Me too." Said Xuan Ping.

They misunderstood, but Yue Qianchou didn't think much about it. the blame was on Guan Yu's dishonesty, he didn't tell him the information in details. Guan Yu should have awareness about the problem he would face in this new environment. As for being the true disciples of Immortal-Enchanting Island, it wasn't important to Yue Qianchou, his only first goal was to succeed breakthrough to Foundation Establishment stage.

What's more, he held the key to solve all the current problems in his hands. Thinking here, Yue Qianchou smiled slightly, isn't Guan Weiwu the most authoritative person in Alchemy Pavilion? Isn't Guan Weiwu the Mad Pill? I don't believe that the Pills' Formulas of the Pill Sect won't interest you...

Chapter 49 - Drinking Wine

Watching Yan Shu leaving until his figure was gone, Yue Qianchou's slightly bent waist was straight up, his pleased look turned into a contemplation. His own strength was too weak. Since joining the realm of cultivation, stronger people could basically pinch his life, and he must pretend to be like a grandson as submissive as a turtle, all of this was because his own strength was too weak. What the great man once said was right, if you're weaker, you will be oppressed!

This world is ridiculous. The cultivation community regarded human life as dirt. This small life can be taken away at any time. The golden bead is a safe place. However, it's not wise to hide in the golden bead for a lifetime. What can I do with Qu Ping'er who is waiting in the Green Light Sect? Is it impossible to take her out? Even if she were taken out, do you want to let her hide in the golden bead for a lifetime? No way! Even if she is willing, I can't let her hide with me forever. Someone who treats me sincerity shouldn't be wronged for a lifetime...

Thought that, Yue Qianchou smiled wryly and shook his head, he murmured, "As long as I can improve my strength, good people, bad people, any shit Father doesn't want, even to confront the entire cultivation realm, I shouldn't hesitate. Ping'er, when I really become notorious, I hope you understand. Because for you, from today onwards, my conscience has been eaten by dogs."

After a firm conviction was established in his heart, Yue Qianchou breathed a sigh a relief. Not that he didn't want to be a good person, be he didn't do a good job at it. What is more important than living? There was a saying in the past life; The poor are left behind, the rich own the world.

After walking around the small courtyard back and forth, Yue Qianchou didn't find anyone here, he decided to check his living place. The room that Yan Shu assigned to him was pushed away. There was almost nothing in it except a table, some chairs, and a meditating mat.

Idle and bored, Yue Qianchou closed the door behind him and disappeared from the room to return to the golden bead space.

The young cultivator was in front of a heap of spirit stones, he was abducted on the Hundred Flowers Valley. Yue Qianchou stared at him and smiled, "What is your name?"

When he heard someone was speaking, the young cultivator who was sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes and saw Yue Qianchou was standing in front of him. His facial expression suddenly changed, then stood up and shouted out loud, "You thief, let me out!" The young cultivator rushed forward in desperation.

Yue Qianchou smiled and shook his head. In the golden bead space, he was the master. This guy with shallow cultivation wouldn't be able to harm him. As Yue Qianchou about to avoid him, the young cultivator who rushed forward suddenly screamed and fell down with his hands grabbing his head, he painfully rolled around on the ground.

When Yue Qianchou saw it, he immediately understood that this phenomenon had also been seen from Guan Yu. It was the proof that this person's life essence had been forcibly drawn and in the hand of other. In the golden bead space, only the White Fox could do this.

Yue Qianchou closed his eyes and felt the golden bead space. The position of the White Fox and Guan Yu came into his mind. His figure disappeared and arrived on the garden beside the white fox. He saw that Guan Yu was carrying a bag and putting seed on the plowed land, while the White Fox was instructing him. Yue Qianchou couldn't help but bloomed a smile, in the heart thought that Guan Yu was really blessed to have a beauty accompanying his farming.

"Big Sister, are you planting flowers again?" Said Yue Qianchou warmly.

The White Fox didn't even lift her face, it was Guan Yu who stopped his hands and said, "Hey, Boss Yue! Has Immortal-Enchanting Island accepted you?" The White Fox noticed the work was halted, she gave Guan Yu a stare and he could only smile embarrassingly. The guy continued to take the seed and plant it. The White Fox turned her face and stared at Yue Qianchou with a frown, "You are joining Immortal-Enchanting Island?" Her tone was cold, she somewhat despised the people who changed their sect.

"Oh! Yes." Yue Qianchou wanted to ask Guan Yu about the matter of Immortal-Enchanting Island again, but he could sense the White Fox's unpleasant tone. He quickly rejected the idea and said, "Big Sister, since you're busy, I will do some other things." Before the White Fox could reply, the body disappeared and arrived in front of the young cultivator.

The young cultivator was sitting on the ground with a pale face, Yue Qianchou once again asked, "What is your name?" The young cultivator replied in a low voice, "Chen Feng."

Yue Qianchou smiled and said, "Chen Feng, you could only earn a few spirit stones a day from your stall. Look behind you, there are countless spirit stones, feel free to use those, I don't mind about it. Also, don't be frightened like that, is it because of your extracted life essence? You will eventually get used to it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the garden there to see, there is a guy named Guan Yu whose life essence was taken away just like yours. Now the guy is in blessing, every day surrounded by beautiful woman and flowers."

After listening about the beautiful woman, Chen Feng shuddered. When he remembered the day he had just arrived here, he was yelling at the time. Suddenly, there was a beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life and couldn't help but absentminded. Who knew that the woman, apart from anything else, grabbed his head and directly extracted his life essence. The pain was soul-wrecking.

Seeing that the guy was still frightened, Yue Qianchou rubbed his nose and smiled, "Don't think too much. From the day you arrived here, you're doomed to follow me. Following me is full of good things and brings no harm. There will be a time when the inheritance of your family will flourish. I will need your skill eventually, you should tell me what materials you need when I come next time. Hey! I'm very busy right now, just think it slowly." The person was gone, Chen Feng was still sitting on the ground. The former didn't know whether the latter had really listened to what he had just said.

When Yue Qianchou back into his room, he heard the sound of people approaching from the court, he opened the door and saw three young men were walking toward him. The three men stopped as they noticed Yue Qianchou. After they looked at each other, the middle one opened his mouth and said tentatively, "Are you Yue Qianchou?"

"Yes, I am." Yue Qianchou asked a little surprised, "How could this friend know my name? I wonder who the three friends are..."

"Oh! So you are Yue Qianchou. Your name has spread all over Immortal-Enchanting Island. To even made dozens of elders almost fight. I heard you're also at Qi Condensation. Thanks to being the disciple of Elder Guan, I guess you will be assigned to our yard. Oh, the three of us also at Qi Condensation. My name is Lin Feng, this is Bei Zi, and he is Xuan Ping."

"It turned out to be the three Senior Brothers," Yue Qianchou wondered in his heart that these three people's name felt somehow strange.

Ling Feng laughed cheerfully, "Senior Brother must be joking. Not to mention that you're the disciple of Elder Guan, I can't also see through your cultivation, it should be that us to call you Senior Brother."

"That's right," Bei Zi on the left side agreed and said, "There aren't many people who had a chance to come here. Now that there is Senior Brother... Xuan Ping, could you take out our stored wine so we can share it together?"

"Fine," Said Xuan Ping with a blank expression.

Yue Qianchou slightly pondered, thinking that he was reluctant to take the wine, he quickly smiled and said, "Please don't trouble yourself, I have wine here, enough for the four of us to drink." He reached out to the storage bag, Shi Xiaotian had given him a lot of wine during his stay at the mansion.

"No!" Shouted Xuan Ping, he coldly throwing a sentence, "You are a guest." The person proceeded to walk toward a room. The meaning of his words was probably to say that you are a guest. How can a guest greet the owner?

Yue Qianchou's hand freeze and he didn't know what to do. Ling Feng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yue, don't mind it. Xuan Ping speaks like that, you will eventually learn that he is not a cold-hearted person after some time.

Along the relief of Yue Qianchou, Bei Zi stared at the storage bag on his waist and said, "Senior Brother Yue has a storage bag. I've been at the Immortal-Enchanting Island for so many years, but I have never seen a disciple of Qi Condensation stage possessing one. This thing must be very valuable, I'm afraid it costs no less than a top-grade spirit stone..."

Ling Feng's envious expressed in his eyes, Xuan Ping, who was bringing a large jug of wine also said, "Good stuff."

"Since Fellow Brothers like it, next time I meet with Martial Ancestor Cheng Genqing, I will ask him to buy storage bags for the three of you." Although Yue Qianchou was often stingy, he had always generous when making friends and connections.

Ling Feng and Bei Zi smiled at each other. They didn't really believe his words, only thought that it was just a pleasantry. For Qi Condensation cultivator, the storage bag was not something that could be easily afforded. Their expressions fell into Yue Qianchou's eyes and he didn't say anything. There was no need to explain some things, the action speaks louder than words. Not to mention that the price of three storage bags was nothing to him.

Xuan Ping said blandly, "Let's drink..."

Chapter 48 - Alchemy Pavilion

Yue Qianchou had already become the disciple of a Master, the command token naturally belonged to the chosen Master. This was what everyone agreed before, and no one couldn't refute it. Elder Liu who proposed this idea stared at Elder Guan who received the disciple, with a cold hum he turned around. None of the elders were willing to look at Elder Guan's face again and they fled from the place.

The elders who surrounded the place was gone, and Cheng Genqing looked at the lively disciples in the distance. There were many disciples who were serving under those elders, it was not a wise choice to stay with Elder Guan, "Elder Guan, this disciples will also retreat."

Elder Guan nodded happily, the man said farewell to Yue Qianchou and left. Those onlookers didn't know what happened and they walked toward Cheng Genqing to inquire.

Yue Qianchou saw that Elder Guan was still feeling proud of himself. Needless to say, he took out the token and said, "Master, the Sect Leader had said that disciple should give this command to the Master after the apprenticeship."

"Ah! Alright, alright. Sect Leader has always been fair. I will follow his instruction." Elder Guan took the token with a smile and carefully examined it in his hand, then put it in his storage bag, there was no enthusiasm as he received it. Afterwards, he led Yue Qianchou as they both questioned and answered along the way.

Yue Qianchou, who had been a bit confused by the generation order, finally solved his doubts. When he said goodbye to Cheng Genqing, he still addressed him as Martial Ancestor Cheng while he called Elder Guan as a Master. In other words, he lowered the generation of Elder Guan. It made him in distress.

Now, it was understood that the kind of Martial Uncle and Martial Ancestor are only the honorific names of people who have attained certain levels of cultivation. There was absolutely no meaning for generations. In Immortal-Enchanting Island, apart from each own master, there was no generation at all. As long as one had higher cultivation than others, the others would address said one as Martial Uncle/Aunt or Martial Ancestor. This was the norm.

Yue Qianchou lamented that the name of Immortal-Enchanting Island had changed in his mind. It was virtually a competition mechanism, it favored for those who possessed more ability. In addition, the eviction after three unsuccessful Foundation Establishment attempts was a complete elimination system, leaving only talented and elite disciples. No wonder Immortal-Enchanting Island had a place in the cultivation world. From today onwards, he was the disciple of Immortal-Enchanting Island Alchemy Pavilion.

Elder Guan's name was Guan Weiwu. After knowing his name, Yue Qianchou had a bit of a toothache. This name was indeed very imposing, like Guan Yu in his golden bead, he seemed to have a close relationship with this name. This newly recognized Master was also quick-tempered. Not long after leading Yue Qianchou, he had no patience. After pointing out where the Alchemy Pavilion was located, he brought Yue Qianchou as he flew to the top of the mountain.

In general, the higher the terrain, the lower the temperature. The strange thing was that the more Yue Qianchou went closer to the top of the mountain, the higher the temperature was, the lower and upper parts of the mountain were like two different seasons. Although Yue Qianchou's cultivation was not high, the temperature difference didn't really affect him. He only wondered why there was such a strange phenomenon. In the heart wondered, Is it because of the burning alchemy on the top of the mountain?

After arriving at the stone steps on the top, a carved white stone archway stood in front of Yue Qianchou. The words 'Alchemy Pavilion' were written on it. Behind the archway was a large antique building complex. Between the archway and the building complex, there were paving slabs of blue stones, all sort of herbs were sun-dried on the floor. Those were spiritual plants used in alchemy.

Yue Qianchou looked toward the mountain surrounding, he noticed the lower four mountains with similar buildings on top of each. Yue Qianchou estimated that those were the other elders' dwellings who were as old as the Master. This made him wonder, according to his understanding of the world, the higher the person position was, the higher place that person should naturally live in. Master's position in the Immortal-Enchanting Island was not the highest, at least there was a Sect Leader above him, how could he live in the highest place?

As he was wondering, a question came from behind, "Are you Yue Qianchou?"

"Yes, I am." Yue Qianchou turned back. A cold face, skinny, tall, average-looking man stood beneath the archway and stared at his eyes with a hint of unfriendly. The man said with a squeaky nose, "Elder Guan said that the new disciple is you, you look very unsightly! Come with me." Then the man turned his butt to Yue Qianchou.

Yue Qianchou got a bit angry, in the heart thought, "Who do you think you are? If Father's presence provoked you, Father will give you the taste of it." Although he would like to kick the butt in front of him, he considered it wasn't worth it, and think now was not the time. He had to follow the middle-aged man obediently while staring at his butt hatefully. The original good mood instantly turned into dejection.

The middle-aged man took him to a courtyard and pointed to a room and said, "Starting from today, you will live and practice with the disciples here and you will do what they do here. Remember my words, don't think that just because you are Elder Guan's disciple then you can do whatever you like!" Then he snorted heavily and said, "I heard you were a loose cultivator outside the island at only Qi Condensation level ten, Am I wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong... I don't know how I should call Senior." Said Yue Qianchou respectfully.

"Yan Shu." The middle-aged man stared at him again, then proudly said, "My cultivation is at the late-stage Core Formation. According to the rules, you should call me the Ancestor!"

"Oh, it is Martial Ancestor Yan, disciple Yue Qianchou greets Martial Ancestor Yan," Said Yue Qianchou as he saluted. "There are all kinds of birds in the woods, I have never seen such an irritating person like this. Yan Shu, Father remembers your treatment, there will be a day to repay you."

"Humph!" Yan Shu snorted his nose again. Being addressed as an Ancestor seemed to make him feel good, he said, "Immortal-Enchanting Island has rules, anyone shouldn't go around the island before reaching Foundation Establishment stage. You should stay here and don't run around. After you meet with your fellow disciples, what you don't understand, you can ask them. Do you remember everything I said?"

Yue Qianchou respectfully smiled and said, "Martial Ancestor Yan's words won't be forgotten, this disciple will firmly keep in mind."

"Knowing is good." Yan Shu turned his head from Yue Qianchou with all smile, he walked out of the small courtyard with both hands behind his back, the people behind shouted, "Martian Ancestor Yan, please take care..."
