Related to alchemy

"Yes, making use of waste."

Xiao Fan smiled faintly, "If Ye Chen wasn't still a little useful, I would have dealt with him long ago."

Su Yiyun tilted her head slightly, a mischievous smile on her lips: "I knew you weren't a good person."

"Your little mouth is so sweet, like it's been smeared with honey."

"How are you going to deal with him?"

"How else? Isn't he exceptionally talented and loves to show off? I'll give him that opportunity."

The matters of Ye Chen in the Pill Pavilion and Scripture Pavilion were known to all, and Su Yiyun naturally knew about them.

Connecting it to Xiao Fan's 'making use of waste', she seemed to have thought of something: "You mean, let him contribute his last bit of effort, write more Pill Formulas, and more Cultivation Technique classics?"

"Of course, in the future, the Holy Land will be under my management. I'll let him build the Holy Land, build *my* Holy Land! Hehehehe~~~"

Xiao Fan laughed uncontrollably.

"You're so bad, I like it so much," Su Yiyun said sweetly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

...

Xiao Fan left Saintess Peak and returned home.

Just as he was leaving, Xiao Fan noticed that the Female Elder's gaze towards him was a bit strange.

On the other side, the Grand Elder received the Jade Slip sent by Xiao Fan.

He somewhat didn't understand Xiao Fan's actions.

The content of the Jade Slip read:

"Grand Elder, this Ye Chen has a problem. Didn't you say that around my Natal Star, several shining stars appeared, surrounding me?"

"In a dream yesterday, I saw Ye Chen transform into a star, wanting to fight me to the death. He is my bane.

Misfortune is intertwined with fortune. In my dream, this scene also appeared: as long as I use Ye Chen as a stepping stone, I will be able to ascend to a higher level."

"Please arrange for Ye Chen, Grand Elder, to enter the Pill Pavilion, Scripture Pavilion, and Artifact Refining Pavilion. Also, arrange for him to learn Formations, and let him comprehend and improve the Holy Land's Incomplete Manuals. Anyway, for any incomprehensible scriptures, Incomplete Manuals, or various difficult problems, just let him complete them."

If there's danger, shouldn't he be killed directly?

It's better to kill by mistake than to let one slip away!

Xuan Ji Elder, who could perceive heavenly secrets, had already prophesied that Xiao Fan was the future of the Holy Land, and that threats would appear around Xiao Fan.

What Xiao Fan said about his dream premonition, a Cultivator's dream usually contains allegories.

Coupled with Ye Chen being too high-profile and displaying talents he shouldn't possess, he was extremely suspicious!

The Grand Elder had already decided in his heart that Ye Chen was the person who could threaten Xiao Fan.

Although the Grand Elder didn't understand Xiao Fan's actions, since the Saint was the future of the Holy Land, cooperating with him and letting Ye Chen become the Saint's stepping stone would suffice.

The Grand Elder had hidden worries, but also expectations.

The Saint's current talent was already extraordinary; what if he ascended to an even higher level?

With this thought, the Grand Elder wrote four Jade Slips and instructed his Elders to cooperate with Xiao Fan.

...

Ye Chen still didn't know the seriousness of the situation. He never dreamed that Xiao Fan, lacking in immortal virtue, would actually have the Grand Elder secretly inform him.

At this moment, Ye Chen was still fantasizing about making a big splash in the Holy Land and giving the Elders of the Holy Land a small Immortal Emperor shock.

"You are Ye Chen?" Two young Disciples came to Ye Chen's residence.

"It's me," Ye Chen said, gaining confidence with his newfound advantage.

Although these two were Golden Core Stage Inner Sect Disciples and he was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was someone who entered all four pavilions, and also an Immortal Emperor in Rebirth, so he couldn't lose his prestige.

The two Golden Core Disciples nodded.

"Let's go, it's time to work."

"Work?"

Ye Chen looked bewildered, "With my talent, shouldn't I be directly in contact with Elders and receive the best Cultivation resources?"

The two Disciples exchanged glances and couldn't help but sneer, "What are you thinking? You're not even Golden Core Stage, and you're already thinking you don't have to do anything."

Ye Chen thought about it carefully, and it was true, there's no free lunch in the world.

To make the Holy Land value him, he had to let the Holy Land understand his worth.

He didn't think much and followed them.

Pill Pavilion.

As soon as Ye Chen arrived at the entrance, he saw a Disciple from the Pill Pavilion come out. Thinking he was there to welcome him, he said, "I can guide Disciples in Alchemy. Where is the lecture hall? Take me there."

The Disciple of the Pill Pavilion naturally recognized Xiao Fan.

However, the task assigned to him was not to be an Alchemy tutor.

"Your task is not to teach people Alchemy," the Disciple who came out said.

"It's not?" Ye Chen was stunned.

With the talent he displayed, his Alchemy attainments were no less than any Elder, and they weren't letting him teach?

Are they making me do Alchemy?

Ye Chen said seriously, "My cultivation is low. If I were to do Alchemy now, I wouldn't be able to refine any good pills. It's better to let me teach."

He thought that if the Pill Pavilion wasn't letting him teach, then they were making him do Alchemy.

"Alchemy?"

"It's related to Alchemy. Come with me," the Disciple said.

Ye Chen was a bit confused, related to Alchemy?

Led by the Pill Pavilion Disciple, Ye Chen arrived at a small dark room filled with Incomplete Manuals.

Inside, there were dozens of shelves, and all the shelves were filled with damaged Pill Formulas.

Some were incomplete.

Some had stains covering the names of the medicinal ingredients.

Or perhaps the Pill Formula had all the Spirit Medicine types, but the dosage and addition order couldn't be determined.

In short, for various reasons, these Pill Formulas couldn't be used and were just gathering dust.

Ye Chen looked at the Pill Formulas scattered all over the floor and frowned slightly.

"Why did you bring me to this place?"

"To repair Pill Formulas and clarify their medicinal effects. The Holy Land knows your exceptional talent in the Dao of Alchemy. After much thought, it was decided that having you repair these ancient texts is most suitable," the Pill Pavilion Disciple explained. The Elder arranged it this way, so he just said it this way.

Ye Chen was displeased but still restrained himself.

"Didn't you say it was related to Alchemy?"

"That's right. Pill Formulas are the foundation of Alchemy. If you repair Pill Formulas, isn't that related to Alchemy?"

Ye Chen was momentarily unable to refute.

However, Ye Chen was unwilling in his heart. Teaching Alchemy could deepen understanding, doing Alchemy himself could increase proficiency, but what benefit could he gain from repairing Pill Formulas?

He said, "I have to visit the Elders at the Scripture Pavilion in half a month, and with my Alchemy attainments, making me start by repairing Pill Formulas is a bit of an overkill."

The Disciple said, "Speaking of this, a Disciple is just a brick; the Holy Land moves it wherever it's needed."

"It's not necessarily only those who show off in public who contribute. Those who silently contribute behind the scenes are equally important. Who says only those standing in the light are heroes, don't you agree?"

Ye Chen internally screamed, 'My stars, you're a star.'

But he still endured it. Isn't it just repairing Pill Formulas? I, a dignified Immortal Emperor, am well-read and experienced; I'm not afraid of not doing this well!

"Which Pill Formulas do I need to repair?" Ye Chen asked.

The Disciple smiled, "Junior Brother Ye, as the saying goes, the capable work more. Junior Brother's methods in the Pill Pavilion back then are still vivid in my mind. Even the Elders praised you endlessly. I acknowledge Junior Brother's attainments in the Dao of Alchemy."

Ye Chen was originally a bit unwilling, but after hearing these words, his mood improved considerably.

Say a few more words!

The Disciple continued, "You understand, right? The Elders and all of us Disciples have high hopes for you, hoping you can lead our Pill Pavilion to grow stronger. Junior Brother Ye, you are the future star of our Pill Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's lips curled into a standard Dragon King smile.

"You flatter me, you flatter me. This Ye merely had the good fortune to learn a few superficial things. As long as the Pill Pavilion needs this Ye's help, I will not shirk my duty."

Though he said this, the pride in his tone was overbearing.

The Disciple smiled and said, "I knew Junior Brother Ye's abilities were outstanding."

"So I specifically told the Elder that this small room full of Incomplete Manuals would not be a problem for Junior Brother Ye at all."

Ye Chen approved, "That is natural."

No, as if realizing something, Ye Chen immediately said, "Can you say that again?"

"This entire room of Pill Formulas is entrusted to you to repair."

"But in half a month, I still have to go to the Scripture Pavilion to visit the Elders."

"So you'll finish it within half a month. Junior Brother Ye is so capable, surely you're not saying you can't? It's well-known that men can't say they can't."

Ye Chen was about to retort, but he had already boasted, leaving no way to retreat.

The Pill Pavilion Disciple had already left, leaving only dozens of shelves of Pill Formula Incomplete Manuals.

He really wanted to give up, but running away the moment he arrived would inevitably leave a bad impression. He had to bite the bullet!
