700: Seeking the main medicine

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a moment, Yao Delong did not beat around the bush and spoke directly:

"Chief Feng, I have come here to refine a void refining pill and urgently need several main ingredients: Void Spirit-Concentrating Grass, two extremes yin-yang fruit, and black tortoise true spirit essence blood."

He stated the names directly.

Feng Wuya's eyes flashed with realization upon hearing this: "So it's for a void refining pill! Wuya offers his congratulations to True Disciple Yao in advance!"

His attitude became more solemn. "These three main ingredients are indeed exceptionally precious and are among the core foundations of our Spirit Plant Peak."

"The Void Spirit-Concentrating Grass requires a thousand years of medicinal age to have its miraculous effect; the two extremes yin-yang fruit even requires specific Yin-Yang Spiritual Vein nodes to be barely cultivated;"

"As for the black tortoise true spirit essence blood... it was personally requested by Revered Master from the Sect's guardian Spirit Beast. Fortunately, the peak's treasury does indeed possess these three items!"

Feng Wuya pondered for a moment and made a gesture of invitation:

"Such treasures are all kept in the Hundred Herb Garden, a Forbidden Ground at the summit, under Revered Master's personal care. True Disciple Yao, please follow me."

The two turned into Escape Lights and shot straight toward the summit of Spirit Plant Peak. The summit was shrouded in clouds and mist, protected by a powerful Restriction.

Feng Wuya stopped before the light curtain of the Restriction and respectfully transmitted his voice: "Revered Master, True Disciple Yao of Luoxia Peak has come to seek medicine. He requires the main materials for a void refining pill. This Disciple has verified his identity."

Inside the Forbidden Ground, beside a medicinal garden built from Nine-Colored Spirit Soil.

A woman dressed in plain white palace robes was focused on a strange plant before her that emitted a misty, rosy glow.

She had a slender figure, a temperament as cold as ten-thousand-year profound ice, skin as white as frost or snow, and an exquisitely beautiful Face,

yet she carried a sense of aloofness that kept people at a distance. She was precisely the acting peak Revered Master of Spirit Plant Peak—Bai Lengchan.

Hearing Feng Wuya's transmission, the jade-like hand with which Bai Lengchan was watering the Spiritual Plant with spiritual dew stiffened slightly.

"True Disciple of Luoxia Peak... Yao Delong?"

A flash of extremely complex emotion crossed her cold eyes—shock, bewilderment, and a hint of indescribable regret and sighing.

This name was now like thunder to the ears within the Yin Yang Sect!

She slowly straightened up, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her mind. Her voice, so cold it lacked any hint of mundane air, pierced through the Restriction: "Let him in."

"Yes, Revered Master!" Feng Wuya replied respectfully, then smiled apologetically at Yao Delong:

"True Disciple Yao, Revered Master invites you inside. Wuya still needs to inspect the medicinal fields, so please excuse me." He bowed again and turned to leave.

Yao Delong nodded and stepped into the light curtain of the Restriction.

The scene before him suddenly opened up!

How was this a Forbidden Ground? It was clearly an immortal herb paradise that formed its own Small World!

The Spiritual Qi here was so dense it had almost liquefied, turning into a misty spiritual rain that nourished everything.

As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with top-tier Spiritual Plants that were hard to find for any amount of money in the outside world, or had even long been extinct!

Ten-Thousand-Year Purple Jade Ginseng King, nine-leaf soul returning grass, Seven-Heart Glazed Lotus... various divine lights and strange colors, and the medicinal fragrance was refreshing, making one feel as if they were in a celestial medicinal storehouse.

Yao Delong's gaze soon fell upon the plain white figure beside the medicinal garden.

Bai Lengchan also quietly turned around, her eyes as clear as a cold pool meeting Yao Delong's gaze in the air.

In an instant, countless images surged through both their hearts.

Yao Delong clearly remembered when he had just activated the System and was still that "trash" with a Spiritual Power Affinity of only 2 points,

in order to refine the Medicinal Pills urgently needed for the Early Stage, he had also come to Spirit Plant Peak to seek medicine with great hope.

He had thought that by relying on the Face of his Revered Master, Leng Yuekui, exchanging for a few ordinary Spiritual Plants should be no problem. Who would have thought that in the end, he would be played!

That humiliation and despair were something Yao Delong could not forget to this day.

'So... the difficulties back then were not Martial Aunt Bai's original intention. She was also acting against her will, her Divine Soul controlled by that demonic Sect hidden agent, Luo Baiya...'

Yao Delong understood in his heart, and a hint of complexity arose.

Had it not been for Luo Baiya's later exposure, he would not have known the hidden truth.

And now, this once high-and-mighty deputy peak Revered Master, due to poor supervision and being used by a demonic Sect spy which led to losses for the Sect,

was undergoing severe punishment—being confined to Spirit Plant Peak and forbidden from leaving.

Looking at the handsome, composed young man before her, who faintly emitted a pressure that made even her heart palpitate, Bai Lengchan's heart was even more filled with mixed feelings and turmoil!

She remembered when she first saw him, he was just an old man following Lin Qingxue, with a withered frame, dull eyes, and pathetic cultivation.

Who could have imagined that in just a few short years, this "trash" whom everyone had regarded as having no hope on the immortal path would actually rise up against the heavens!

With heaven-startling Comprehension Ability, profound alchemy skills, and unrivaled combat power! Now his cultivation had even reached a level that she could only hope to achieve!

This massive contrast filled her, a former Genius, with an unspeakable shock, loss, and... a hint of bitter admiration.

The two stood facing each other, silent for a moment. A subtle atmosphere of "times have changed" permeated the air.

Yao Delong's gaze was calm as he took the lead to break the silence.

He keenly sensed that Bai Lengchan's aura was currently at the peak of Late Stage Soul Transformation, seemingly just one opportunity away from attempting a Breakthrough to Perfected Spirit Transformation Stage.

He spoke slowly, his voice peaceful, without a hint of resentment:

"Martial Aunt Bai, I am Disciple Yao Delong. I have come to seek three main ingredients to refine a void refining pill:

a thousand-year-old Void Spirit-Concentrating Grass, a two extremes yin-yang fruit, and a drop of black tortoise true spirit essence blood."

Hearing the words "void refining pill", Bai Lengchan's heart, as cold as ice, couldn't help but tremble violently!

That was a genuine eighth-grade Medicinal Pill!

Within the Yin Yang Sect, besides Senior Brother Dan, whose alchemy attainments were unfathomably deep, who else could refine it?

The only three void refining pills remaining in the Sect treasury were all treasures of the Sect that Senior Martial Uncle Danchenzi had exhausted his heart and soul, and countless Heaven And Earth Treasures, to luckily refine!

'He... he can actually refine eighth-grade Medicinal Pills already?!' Bai Lengchan looked at the calm Yao Delong before her in disbelief, waves of shock crashing in her heart!

Looking at Yao Delong's aura again, it was impressively already the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation!

Furthermore, the pressure and deep dao rhyme flowing invisibly around him seemed to have already exceeded the scope of Soul Transformation!

This cultivation Realm, this alchemy attainment... he was simply a Prodigy! Only deep amazement and a hint of looking up to him that she hadn't even noticed remained in her heart.

Forcing down her surging emotions, Bai Lengchan tried to maintain her cold demeanor and said in a business-like manner:

"Martial Nephew Yao, as a True Disciple now, you naturally have the right to request such spiritual medicine."

"However, the Sect's rules cannot be discarded. Such eighth-grade spiritual medicines are priceless and must be exchanged for treasures or contributions of corresponding value."

Her voice was still clear, but compared to the coldness of the past, it seemed to carry a hint of undetectable fluctuation.

Yao Delong was not at all surprised by this; it was naturally impossible to take Sect resources for free. He nodded and said, "It should be so."

As he spoke, a flash of light appeared on his finger, and an all-red feather fan, shaped like a Vermilion Bird spreading its wings and emitting a scorching and sharp aura, appeared in his hand.

Runes flowed on the surface of the feather fan, and there was a faint sound of a Phoenix's cry. The space was slightly distorted by its high temperature!

"This is the high-grade heavenly artifact 'Crimson Feather Sky-Burning Fan', obtained from a Demon King. It contains a trace of Vermilion Bird True Flame and the Law of spatial sharpness."

"Its power is extraordinary. I wonder if it can be exchanged for those three main ingredients?" Yao Delong handed the feather fan over.
