Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Reading as Storybooks

The Medicine King Valley Treasure Vault was located near the Medicine Tower.

The difference between the two was this,

The Medicine Tower contained only Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, everything one could wish for.

The Treasure Vault, in addition to various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, also contained materials,

Demon Beast Cores, Essence Blood,

Cultivation Techniques, various Treasures, and so on.

If we were just talking about Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the quantity and quality of the Medicine Tower far surpassed the Treasure Vault.

...

As soon as Xiao Yi arrived near the Treasure Vault,

there was already a Medicine King Valley Deacon coming forward to lead the way.

At the same time, Jie Mo, along with two other Sword Masters,

also arrived here at this moment.

”Deacon,” Jie Mo and the three bowed to the Medicine King Valley Deacon.

”Hmm,” the Medicine King Valley Deacon just nodded.

”Deacon,” and when Xiao Yi also bowed,

the Medicine King Valley Deacon quickly returned the bow, ”Yi Xiao Deacon.”

Both were Deacons.

Xiao Yi’s identity as the Chief Steward of the Demon Hunting Hall

was not the least bit lower than that of a Medicine King Valley Deacon.

Naturally,

they greeted each other with the respect due to peers.

Jie Mo frowned slightly but said nothing.

The two Sword Masters, however, had displeased expressions on their faces.

”Follow me,” the Medicine King Valley Deacon said, then led the way ahead.

Entering the Medicine King Valley Treasure Vault.

The Medicine King Valley Deacon instructed, ”The four of you have the elders’ Tokens.”

”You are allowed to view the Alchemy books within the elders’ permission in the Treasure Vault.”

”Remember clearly, only the books related to refining.”

”There are Prohibitions on the Tokens.”

”There are also Prohibitions on the other items in the Treasure Vault.”

”The two Prohibitions conflict with each other.”

”If you tamper with other items, it will trigger the Prohibition’s attack.”

”We get it, you talk too much,” the two Sword Masters said impatiently.

It seemed they were complaining about the Medicine King Valley Deacon’s lack of respect earlier.

Since youth, the two had been pampered and worshiped in their own provinces,

proud and disdainful of others by nature.

The Medicine King Valley Deacon didn’t take offense, just frowned slightly.

”I will wait outside.”

”If you need help, you can come looking for me.”

”Thank you,” Xiao Yi clasped his hands in respect.

The Deacon clasped hands back, then turned and left.

A power’s Treasure Vault.

Contained all kinds of treasures from that power.

Normally, it was not allowed for outsiders to enter.

However, the four present were all young alchemy prodigies who ranked high in the Flame Martial Kingdom.

In the future, they would surely be super-strong alchemists.

The Medicine King Valley naturally wouldn’t be so petty with them.

Nor did they believe they would harbor any other ill intentions.

...

After the Medicine King Valley Deacon left,

the four quickly searched for Alchemy books and insights within.

However, the three of them were looking for books related to the Heavenly Will Pill.

Only Xiao Yi accepted any Alchemy books that came his way.

In no time at all, he had picked up dozens of books,

and then went to the side to read on his own.

The sight left Jie Mo and the others dumbfounded.

The two Sword Masters exchanged a look, then smiled at each other.

Their smiles were full of mockery.

”That idiot, browsing Alchemy books so randomly, what a waste of time.”

”Who cares.”

”He’s the only unlucky one with three sixth-grade pill recipes.”

”If he can’t refine them in three days and fails to advance to the third round, so much the better.”

The two whispered to one another.

Jie Mo, however, stepped forward to give a reminder, ”Yi Xiao.”

”Hmm?” Xiao Yi, who was engrossed in the Alchemy books, responded.

”What is it?” Xiao Yi asked indifferently.

Jie Mo glanced at the dozens of books beside Xiao Yi,

Mostly fifth-grade, sixth-grade, even seventh-grade Alchemist knowledge.

”With your skills, Yi Xiao, you shouldn’t need to waste time on these things.”

”Why bother?”

Xiao Yi shrugged and said, ”No big deal, consider it like reading a story.”

Xiao Yi wanted to fill in his gaps in Alchemical knowledge.

But his carefree tone

led Jie Mo to misunderstand, thinking little of the Alchemy challenge ahead.

”Yi Xiao, you are arrogant,” Jie Mo said gravely.

”Do you really have that much confidence in refining the Heavenly Will Pill?”

”Is it even a piece of cake for you?”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said softly, ”In three days, all will become clear.”

Jie Mo shook his head and did not say anything more.

He had merely come to give a casual reminder.

He wouldn’t interfere with Yi Xiao’s choices.

After all, the two had no particular rapport, having only met during the first round of the competition.

...

The night passed without incident.

By early morning,

Jie Mo and the other two had left one after another.

They had to continue seeking guidance from the elders.

Only Xiao Yi remained.

He had been reading books all night.

Even now, he had not taken his leave.

He seemed to be so engrossed in his reading that he had lost track of time.

It wasn’t until sunset the following day

that Jie Mo and his two companions had finished another day of mentoring.

Elder Mu, who had been waiting under the shade of the trees for most of the day, angrily sought him out in the treasure vault.

”Kid, don’t tell me you’ve been here all day long.”

Elder Mu said furiously.

There was no doubt that Xiao Yi had not chosen the wrong person.

Elder Mu was an interesting man.

Even amusingly adorable.

He waited alone under the shade for most of the day and didn’t think to look for Xiao Yi earlier.

Now, facing Elder Mu’s inquiry,

Xiao Yi just shrugged his shoulders and said, ”Sorry, I got lost in the books.”

Xiao Yi wanted to make the most of these three days to read as many alchemy books as possible.

Elder Mu looked at the books around Xiao Yi.

His anger grew even more intense.

”Brat, are you making a fool of me?”

”These books are all basics of alchemy for various grades.”

”What use are they to you?”

At that moment, the two sword masters standing by could hardly contain their laughter.

They thought to themselves, ”This Yi Xiao is quite arrogant to even play with Elder Mu.”

”Elder Mu is one of the top alchemists in the entire Flame Martial Kingdom.”

”He dared to neglect him, even keeping him waiting for half a day.”

”Humph, having offended Elder Mu, there will be no place for Yi Xiao in the circle of alchemy in the future.”

While thinking this, they stepped forward and saluted Elder Mu.

”Elder Mu, we already warned Yi Xiao yesterday.”

”We told him not to waste time and to focus on books related to understanding the Heavenly Will Pill.”

”Who would have expected, not only did he not listen, but he also said it was like reading storybooks.”

The one who reminded Xiao Yi was clearly Jie Mo, not them, the day before.

It was bad enough they were making up stories today, but they were also exaggerating.

In their view, Elder Mu would surely explode with anger now.

Perhaps, due to his status, he would no longer offer guidance to Yi Xiao.

Unexpectedly,

Upon hearing this, Elder Mu was momentarily stunned.

”What? Reading it like a storybook?”

Elder Mu then suddenly nodded his head, ”Hmm, okay, if he likes reading, let him read more.”

Then, looking at Xiao Yi, he casually instructed, ”Young man.”

”Continue your reading, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and find me.”

”Same time tomorrow.”

”Under that tree, whether you want to consult me about the knowledge of the Heavenly Will Pill or just keep reading, it’s up to you.”

”Uh,” Xiao Yi was taken aback and said, ”Thank you, Elder Mu.”

He was a bit puzzled.

Why had Elder Mu suddenly reined in his anger and changed his attitude so drastically?

Right before Elder Mu left,

The two sword masters chased after him, asking, ”Elder Mu, Yi Xiao is so arrogant.”

”He doesn’t take you seriously, aren’t you angry?”

”What’s there to be angry about?” Elder Mu waved his hand dismissively.

”If he has the ability to figure out the method to refine the Heavenly Will Pill by studying the alchemy books on his own,”

”then naturally, I have nothing more to say.”

”After all, there are indeed geniuses in this world.”

”And the actions of a true genius are usually incomprehensible to others.”

Saying so, Elder Mu suddenly broke into a knowing smile.

”In our Medicine King Valley, there is a supreme genius.”

”He always gets bored with the advice from us elders.”

”Instead, he reads these books every day as if they were storybooks.”

”His alchemy skills improve by leaps and bounds each day and are fast catching up with us old folks.”

”Oh? Is he that remarkable?” The two sword masters showed a look of surprise.

”May we know who Elder Mu is referring to?”

Elder Mu, with an air of pride, said, ”Naturally, our Medicine King Valley’s Young Valley Master.”

”Su Qianmo.”
