151: Chapter 151 Someone Has Their Eyes on the Youth-Preserving Elixir

The Alchemy Hall was massive, with ten floors in total, and each floor had hundreds of small rooms.

The first to third floors were for Tier One Alchemists, while the fourth to sixth floors were for Tier Two Alchemists.

Upon arriving at the fourth floor, Ye Mo prepared to collect the Spiritual Plants for the peiyuan pills.

"A newcomer?" asked the Disciple distributing the Spiritual Plants, glancing at Ye Mo's token.

"Yes." Ye Mo nodded.

"Newcomers must all head to the main hall later. Alchemist Luo is there and has some instructions for you."

The Sect Disciple handed ten sets of peiyuan pill Spiritual Plants to Ye Mo and instructed him.

Without asking any further questions, Ye Mo took the Spiritual Plants and headed to the main hall.

Inside the main hall, the Alchemists who had arrived with Ye Mo yesterday were also present.

Ye Mo walked up to Ba Shi and asked what they were doing in the main hall.

Ba Shi shook his head, clearly not knowing either.

About fifteen minutes later, a woman and a man walked in.

Ye Mo's eyes narrowed as he activated Character Appraisal.

Character: Alchemist Luo

Cultivation: Golden Core Late Stage

Spiritual Root: Purple Spirit Root

The reason Ye Mo activated Character Appraisal was not because Alchemist Luo was exceptionally beautiful.

Though she indeed looked like a Heavenly Immortal, Ye Mo mainly wanted to check her cultivation level.

With this look, he hadn't expected her to actually have a Purple Spirit Root.

Alchemist Luo also felt Ye Mo's gaze and looked back at him, but quickly withdrew her eyes before speaking, "I have called you here today to teach you the unique hand seals of our Tianlei Sect. This hand seal will imprint your identifier into the Medicinal Pills when they are formed, and every single pill you refine will be recorded.

"So do not harbor any thoughts of taking shortcuts. If the Medicinal Pills are substandard, the light punishment will be a deduction in salary, while the severe punishment will be expulsion from the Sect and exile to the battlefield. Do you understand?"

"Yes," everyone replied immediately.

"Good. Now, I will impart the hand seal techniques to you."

As Alchemist Luo finished speaking, her delicate hands shifted continuously, and an illusion of the hand seal technique appeared in the minds of Ye Mo and the others.

Everyone, including Ye Mo, carefully examined this hand seal.

Meanwhile, Alchemist Luo quietly departed with the man.

About fifteen minutes later, everyone finished comprehending the technique.

They then left the main hall one after another, heading to their respective refining rooms.

Ye Mo's Pill Refining Room was Number 98, located in the middle area.

Upon entering the Pill Refining Room, Ye Mo immediately began refining pills.

Although refining pills would waste quite a bit of time, it was worth it since he no longer had to worry about safety.

Ye Mo refined for a full twelve hours, finally finishing all ten sets of Spiritual Plants.

He harvested a total of thirty Medicinal Pills.

Thirty Medicinal Pills was the minimum requirement, which only earned him some Spirit Stones as a basic salary.

Only by exceeding thirty pills would one receive bonus contribution points from the Sect.

How much of a reward depends entirely on how many you can refine.

Each extra pill would grant one contribution point.

Contribution points could be exchanged for items from the Sect.

For example, talismans, Magical Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, and so on.

After turning in the Medicinal Pills, Ye Mo returned to his courtyard. Just as he was about to Cultivate, Ba Shi suddenly paid him a visit.

"Senior Brother Ba, please come in."

Ye Mo led Ba Shi to the living room and then asked about the purpose of his visit.

"Junior Brother Ye, to tell you the truth, I came because there is something I need your help with."

Ba Shi paused for a moment and then continued, "I want to enter the Sect's Heavenly Thunder Pool to Cultivate, but entering the Heavenly Thunder Pool requires a massive amount of contribution points. I wonder if Junior Brother Ye could transfer some contribution points to me?"

"What is the Heavenly Thunder Pool?" Ye Mo asked curiously.

"You don't know?"

Ba Shi looked surprised. The Heavenly Thunder Pool was extremely famous in the Tianlei Sect; very few Cultivators in the Southern State did not know of it.

The reason the Heavenly Thunder Pool was so famous was because cultivating inside it could greatly accelerate the comprehension speed of lightning-attribute Spells and Cultivation Techniques.

Ba Shi explained it to Ye Mo.

Ye Mo's eyes lit up slightly.

He immediately asked the System if cultivating in the Heavenly Thunder Pool could reduce the Lifespan cost.

"Of course you can," the System replied.

Ye Mo was instantly overjoyed.

He was currently cultivating Thunderous Might, which consumed a massive amount of Lifespan. If he could accelerate his cultivation speed, it would naturally be an incredible boon for him.

Most importantly, Ye Mo didn't need many contribution points to enter the Heavenly Thunder Pool at all; he could complete it with a single click.

"Senior Brother Ba, I don't have any contribution points at all right now," Ye Mo said, looking a bit put-out.

"I know, but I believe Junior Brother Ye's Alchemy skills will improve very quickly. I'm just letting you know in advance," Ba Shi said quickly.

"Alright, then. When I have surplus contribution points, I'll transfer them to you."

Ye Mo did not refuse outright.

To Ye Mo, contribution points were indeed not very important.

He didn't care for the things they could be exchanged for in the Sect.

If he were to transfer contribution points, Ye Mo naturally wondered if Ba Shi could provide him with peiyuan pills.

"Great! Junior Brother Ye is indeed straightforward. Then I won't disturb Junior Brother Ye's cultivation any longer."

Seeing that Ye Mo didn't refuse, Ba Shi beamed with joy.

Ye Mo watched Ba Shi leave, then went back to cultivating.

Time flew by, and it was soon February 10th, the day of the System reward again.

Reward: 43x multiplier.

Cultivation boost: 286x (420+120120)

With over 120,000 spiritual energy points, he had already surpassed the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Afterward, Ye Mo spent nearly twenty days raising his Alchemy technique to 100%.

February 13th.

Ye Mo returned to Blue Star.

April 7th, 2028.

Qingyi still hadn't been found.

But the good news was that out of the people previously captured by Peng Fei, half had been successfully recruited as new members after Cheng Ying's screening.

There were twenty people in total: five with Purple Spirit Roots and fifteen with Yellow Spirit Roots.

In addition, there were some people Ye Mo had recruited earlier.

The ten with Yellow Spirit Roots had also all arrived.

Now, excluding Zhou Ziyuan, Ye Mo had a total of seventeen people with Purple Spirit Roots and over forty with Yellow Spirit Roots.

This was basically enough to establish a healthy cycle.

As for those with Blue Spirit Roots, Ye Mo planned to stop having them bear children in the future.

After a brief conversation with Cheng Ying, Ye Mo began his frantic cultivation once again.

Three days later, Lin Shishuang called to say her classmate was visiting and asked if Ye Mo wanted to join them for dinner.

Ye Mo agreed. Lin Shishuang was now over seven months pregnant, and Ye Mo hadn't visited her much.

Upon arriving at the Lin residence, Lin Xiangqian personally welcomed Ye Mo.

The Lin family's business could be described as thriving and prosperous.

The youth preserving solution was now being sold nationwide, with Zhao Lingshan personally endorsing it. Sales were growing exponentially, and their other industries were also developing rapidly.

Lin Xiangqian knew who had brought all of this, so he was exceptionally respectful toward Ye Mo.

"It's not easy for you to visit. I've been looking forward to seeing you so much that a few more of my hairs have turned white."

Lin Xiangqian warmly took Ye Mo's hand.

This made Ye Mo feel a little embarrassed.

"Have there been any issues with the business lately?"

Ye Mo asked casually.

Ye Mo asked very casually, but to his surprise, Lin Xiangqian's expression suddenly turned grave as he said, "With the rapid development of the youth preserving solution recently, some people can no longer sit still. They want a piece of the pie..."
