Chapter 1032: Chapter 661: Something of One’s Own

Shenxu Mountain, Dan Peak.

Amid the ethereal mist, Taoist Qian Feng and Taoist Jin Xue stood shoulder to shoulder, their eyes casting downward.

"Do you think Lan’er can accept it?" the beautiful woman voiced her concern with a hint of worry.

"Heh, with eldest brother’s temperament, not to mention her Ye Lan, even if it were our positions as peak masters, if he really set his mind to it, taking them wouldn’t be impossible."

Taoist Qian Feng’s expression was indifferent. Though on that day at the Dan Peak’s courtyard, he had been bluntly rebutted by Ye Lan, as a Fourth Grade Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, he had the generosity to not hold a grudge against a younger generation who felt aggrieved.

It was just that the current situation was beyond their power to change.

"Sigh." Taoist Qian Feng let out a sigh, feeling inexplicably irritable. Ever since the incident at Dan Peak, the camaraderie among Shenxu Mountain’s fellow sect members had grown increasingly superficial and fake, a sight that bred disgust.

"Not accept it? What does she have to not accept it with?"

With a cold rebuke, the black-bearded man turned and strode away, his sleeves fluttering behind.

Taoist Jin Xue hesitated, wanting to descend and talk with Ye Lan, but also unsure of how to begin. After much hesitation, she too shook her head and left Dan Peak.

Meanwhile, in that small courtyard.

Shen Yi was still engrossed in the Elixir Book. He had already mastered its contents, but the sporadic notes left by his predecessors in Dan Peak were infused with their earnest efforts. A single line could often lead to a moment of enlightenment.

The two sisters were sitting beside him.

Ye Jing was in charge of pouring tea, while Ye Lan was silently gazing into the distance. She was aware of the presence of the two elder masters above, and she could also hear the discussions swirling around the Eight Peaks.

Liu Ruifeng had controlled Dan Peak for many years, and now he was finally ready to step forward and demonstrate his mastery of the Alchemy Dao to the disciples of the Eight Peaks.

And then what?

If his Alchemy Dao was indeed successful, the next step would likely be to solidify his status.

The radiance that had previously burst forth from the Alchemy Workshop had indeed frightened those two men, forcing them to drop their pretenses and reveal their true greedy nature to the sect.

The thought of those two pretending to be calm while actually panicking behind closed doors almost made Ye Lan laugh.

But then, glancing at Shen Yi, she couldn’t help but feel a bit somber.

The young man’s ideas were sound, his capabilities were sound, but the person he was relying on was the problem.

This so-called Grandmaster Ye simply could not achieve the position within Shenxu Mountain that the other imagined; far too weak, without even a sliver of say.

Even a long-standing convention like the discussions among the Eight Peaks could proceed without her, with the seven others making decisions on their own.

All Shen Yi needed from her was to buy a bit more time, but even such a simple thing, she could not manage.

"I’m sorry."

Ye Lan slowly rose to her feet, gave a serious nod to the young man in front of her.

After she spoke, she took a deep breath: "I will suggest to the Eight Peaks that we trade for an opportunity to impart the Taixu Dao Fruit. It may not succeed, but I will try my best."

As her words fell, Ye Lan turned and walked towards the mountain’s base, her silhouette projected a sense of solitude.

Ye Jing had just poured hot tea for Brother Shen, and hearing these words, she looked at her sister in a daze.

Trade?

The only thing her sister had left on Shenxu Mountain was her title as the Dan Peak Ancestor.

Was she now planning to give up this title to Liu Ruifeng in exchange for asking the other peaks to compromise?

From then on, the Fifth Peak would be thoroughly in the hands of an outsider, including this courtyard and everything in it.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Yi finally lifted his gaze from the Elixir Book, his eyes reflecting a sense of reluctant parting.

The sensation of understanding the knowledge in the book and being able to apply it was all too rare for him.

"Hmm?"

Ye Lan paused in her steps, looking back in confusion: "Is there anything else?"

Shen Yi looked at the panel in front of him, focusing on the unchanging numbers, and said softly: "What’s the rush, wait a little longer."

"..."

Ye Lan didn’t understand what more there was to wait for, but instinctively she walked back and sat down beside him.

Time flowed slowly, until the afterglow of the sunset painted the sky.

Peace enveloped the courtyard, disturbed only by the gentle sound of flipping book pages.

The next moment, the page-turning ceased.

Both sisters looked up in puzzlement, only to see Shen Yi stretching his body and tossing the Elixir Book back onto the pile in the "Book Mountain."

Amidst the sporadic notifications that popped up, there was finally one that caught the eye.

[Slayed the Sixth Grade Jade Snake Demon, total lifespan of twenty-three Tribulations, remaining lifespan of eight Tribulations, absorption complete]

And with its emergence, the notifications began to quicken their pace.

The lifespans of many demons were snuffed out in an instant.

[Remaining Demon Lifespan: twenty-seven Tribulations]

The afterglow cast upon the young man’s face as he finished the freshly refilled cup of hot tea and stood up: "Please retrieve the Alchemy Formula for the Void Treasure Pill for me."

Before the words finished, the sisters’ expressions had already fallen into shock.

Even Ye Lan did not expect that after such a long wait, he would ask for the Alchemy Formula.

Tomorrow was the day that Liu Ruifeng would perform his skills under the watchful eyes of the Eight Peaks’ disciples, and now, Shen Yi wanted to see that formula?

"Okay..."

Ye Lan recovered her senses and nodded.

The Void Treasure Pill was a Fifth Grade Tribulation Pill, which on Dan Peak, was second only to the Fourth Grade Pill that her master and fellow sect members had last refined.

If Shen Yi later shifted to the Immortal’s methods and truly obtained the Taixu Dao Fruit, then this pill would indeed be useful.

With that thought, she headed straight for the Law Storage Pavilion.

This Alchemy Formula was stored deep within the restrictions of the Law Storage Pavilion, inaccessible to ordinary disciples.

Thus, when Ye Lan entered the Law Storage Pavilion and approached the restriction, she nearly attracted the attention of all the surrounding disciples.
