Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 1021 - 657 Who Gave Her the Confidence (5K4)

Chapter 1021: Chapter 657 Who Gave Her the Confidence (5K4)

Ye Lan looked towards the desk beside her.

Although she had been exploding the furnace all this time, she was well aware of how many medicinal ingredients had been prepared and how many she herself had used.

And now, apart from what she had used, there was only one portion of the ingredients missing.

This indicated that Shen Yi had picked up the thin booklet, casually flipped through a few alchemy formulas, and had managed to produce such flawless elixirs on his first attempt.

This was not something that could be achieved with just a superficial understanding.

The elixir for a Seventh-Grade True Immortal was not considered high-grade at Fifth Peak, otherwise, it would not have been recorded in the entry-level section.

The problem was, Shen Yi was not a disciple of Dan Peak, he had not studied the precious legacies left by the masters, and thus should not be evaluated by the standards here.

Based on this bottle of elixirs alone, he was worthy of being praised as having exceptional talent for alchemy!

Just then, Ye Lan saw Shen Yi reaching towards the second thin booklet, which was the lower volume of the Four Symbols Pill Manual.

For some reason, her usually calm mind suddenly became anxious.

"Don’t."

Ye Lan instinctively reached out and pressed down hard on the back of Shen Yi’s hand, and under his puzzled gaze, she bit her lip and eventually shook her head, "If you are interested, wait until we return, I can transcribe it for you, do not study it on the mountain."

With such astonishing talent in the alchemy dao, of course, she did not want it to go to waste.

But now was not the right time!

Taking on a disciple on behalf of her master could easily lead to misunderstandings at Sixth Peak, making them think she was intent on seizing power.

If the disciple she chose also happened to be skilled in the alchemy dao, even if she was willing to explain, it would be useless, and others simply would not believe her.

Ye Lan was nominally still a Peak Master, possessing Fifth Grade Cultivation, naturally unafraid of petty people scheming in the shadows.

But Shen Yi was different, putting aside whether the Dragon Tiger Dao Fruit could protect him, if his identity were exposed, a Bodhi Sect Arhat wishing to enter under the tutelage of Shenxu Ancestor would be difficult to explain.

Thinking pessimistically, those Senior Uncles probably had some connections in the Bodhi Sect, a little investigation could end up exposing Shen Yi’s situation, resulting in a blunder and inviting great trouble!

Keep in mind, each peak had its corresponding resources, abundant enough to support a sect.

Wealth tempts the heart, and these people are not so easily dissuaded.

"..."

Shen Yi remained calm, eye to eye with the girl in front of him, her concern clearly visible in the close distance.

Moments later, he suddenly smiled.

Although Ye Lan had always said she did not wish to compete or vie for anything, if that were truly the case, why had she bothered to open those two entry-level books when she knew she had no talent for alchemy?

Even if she didn’t care about the cultivation resources or the mountain, she still cared about the small courtyard and the Ancestor Master Statue within the courtyard.

So why pretend to be detached?

Their goals were the same, she wanted to protect that little courtyard, and Shen Yi wanted the Taixu Dao Fruit.

To achieve this aim, there was in fact only one condition.

And that was for Ye Lan’s Ancestor Master to become the true Ancestor Master Peak Master, not just a figurehead.

Shen Yi was most apprehensive about the catastrophe Ye Lan had once mentioned during this trip to Shenxu Mountain.

But having now witnessed the current state of Fifth Peak firsthand, he had his suspicions.

Various peaks flourishing, only Dan Peak was desolate.

What matter needed a group of Pill Masters at the forefront, yet the other disciples were completely unharmed?

If it were external enemies, would Daluo Immortal Venerable not dare to strike back?

There are only two possibilities, either the enemy had been dealt with, or this person was someone even Daluo Immortal Venerable cannot afford to provoke.

But if it were the latter, how could they dare to keep the statue of Ancestor Master Ye Lan on Dan Peak, and how could Ye Lan dare to travel the world?

It seemed these eight peaks were not united against a common foe.

With many factors combined, the answer was quite apparent.

Compared to external enemies, it was more likely an internal calamity.

"Why fear a look."

Shen Yi broke free from Ye Lan’s palm, casually picked up the thin booklet, and turned to leave the Alchemy Workshop.

"..."

Ye Lan stared at the young man’s retreating figure, dazed.

A cultivator who had fought his way out from a remote, impoverished land, recognized by the Land God, Meng Xiuwen, and other such individuals, conducting affairs decisively and unflustered despite bearing tremendous burdens.

Such a person, of course, was no fool.

He surely understood what this matter implied, yet still casually took away that Pill Book.

Ever since the sect had experienced that incident, nearly leading to its destruction, Ye Lan had not felt this... sense of having someone standing by her side in a long time.

Right, why fear anything.

It was Shenxu who owed Fifth Peak, not Fifth Peak who failed Shenxu!

Even if they did not vie for the position of Peak Master, the Elixir Books in the Law Storage Pavilion were left by her master and fellow disciples, Shen Yi was her own disciple, why couldn’t he read them!

"Why shouldn’t I use them."

Ye Lan suddenly clenched her hand, glanced back at a few medicine shelves, and in a pique, waved her hand, storing all the Heaven and Earth Treasures into the Storage Magical Treasure, then stepped out of the Alchemy Workshop.

The two of them left the Alchemy Workshop one after the other.

The disciples who had been guarding as though dozing off a moment ago now gathered together, taking out Jade Slips to start messaging.

Soon, the young man from the Dan Peak courtyard earlier rushed over quickly.

"Senior Uncle Liu!"

The guarding disciples stood watch over the Alchemy Workshop the two had used, welcoming the young man inside.
