Chapter 575: Black Crow Dan Scripture

Pure Nine-Lotus Treasure Lamp.

The Black Crow Elixir Scripture!

When Yin Qingmei arrived, she read the entire elixir scripture. After finishing it, she turned to the cover, looked at the four characters, and nodded slightly.

"Where did you get this elixir scripture?"

Han Tingfeng's face flickered with hesitation upon hearing the question. However, having already decided to entrust his children to the Divine Wood Sect and knowing he had only a few years left, he no longer concealed how he acquired this opportunity.

"When I was young, I was a rogue cultivator on Xuanwater Island in the Yunmeng Marsh. One day, while out hunting demonic beasts with a group, I accidentally fell into the water and encountered a large clam."

"Inside the clam, I found a box. I secretly returned to the island and spent three years using my spiritual power to remove the restrictions on the box. When I finally opened it, I found a bottle of elixirs and this very elixir scripture."

"Since I had been studying alchemy even as a rogue cultivator, my skills improved by leaps and bounds after acquiring this scripture. I then sold the elixirs I refined in the black market to gather cultivation resources."

"Later, after reaching the ninth level of Qi Condensation and accumulating enough spirit stones, I joined a team organized by cultivation families from Lei Nation and traveled to Golden Crow Immortal City in Eastern Yi to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill. I also secretly acquired another Foundation Establishment Pill at an auction held by the Star Heaven Grand Merchant Association. Unfortunately, both attempts at Foundation Establishment ended in failure..."

Han Tingfeng's life could be considered quite fortunate. He amassed a considerable fortune in the Eastern Barrens purely through his alchemy skills and even managed two attempts at Foundation Establishment, a feat surpassing many true disciples of the Divine Wood Sect.

Regrettably, attempting Foundation Establishment purely through self-exploration proved exceedingly difficult to succeed.

I didn't think minor Foundation Establishment sects would be of much use to me. I also feared the danger of 'possessing a treasure inviting its ruin,' so I was careful not to reveal my true affiliation to higher-level cultivators or other powerful Foundation Establishment figures, lest I be plundered. That's why I kept wandering between Ran Yongren and Lei Nation.

Moreover, I could pass the mortgage contract to my sons in the future. If they achieved anything significant within the Heavenly Spiritual Root Sect, they could always redeem the Black Elixir Scripture.

After all, in the Eastern Barrens, every Core Formation cultivator had emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. If Chen Mobai could cultivate smoothly to the Core Formation stage, he would undoubtedly become the strongest Core Formation cultivator of his generation.

"You are forbidden to go!"

Upon hearing this, Lingli calmly set down the Ran Yong in her hand. She first stated her position, then symbolically sought Chen Mobai's opinion.

Ran Yong knew that Ran Yongren cultivated the fire-attributed Red Flame Sword Art and believed that the Eyun Elixir would be very beneficial to him. Therefore, after listening to the Divine Wood Sect explain the efficacy of the Sun-Day Elixir described in this scripture, he made an exception and revealed the news of the Tier 8 cave dwelling to him.

The Tier 8 Nascent Soul Elixir might just fall into your hands.

"Thank you, Sect Master!"

"However, the most comprehensive content regarding Tier 7 alchemy belongs to the Bathing Sun Sea sect. This is because they possess a portion of the 'Burning Heaven Purifying Earth' inheritance and specialize in fire-attributed core elixirs, along with inherited Tier 7 elixir formulas. Among them, my master specifically told me about Daoist Greyfeather, as that genius alchemist from Bathing Sun Sea once stayed in Primordial Immortal City for half a month and was treated as a distinguished guest. My master happened to be responsible for entertaining him and showing him around the immortal city, which left a deep impression."

"Thank you, Guardian E, Senior Yin..."

Naturally, Chen Mobai's inner desire was to privately acquire the Black Elixir Scripture.

After all, Rainbow Nation still needed to be inspected next. Chen Mobai would surely be able to memorize both the sect's teachings and an elixir formula.

Once the scripture is cataloged into the sect's archives, viewing and exchanging elixir formulas will require contribution points. However, entrusting it to your safekeeping now is effectively gifting you the Black Elixir Scripture.

Chen Mobai had also compared an elixir formula. Seven of these formulas were already known to the Heavenly Spiritual Root Sect. Only the Tier 7 Soul Condensing Pill and the Tier 8 Ran Yongren Sun Elixir were new to her.

Among them, the most regrettable was the genius alchemist named Daoist Greyfeather.

If the Black Elixir Scripture hadn't been mortgaged for seventy thousand spirit stones, Yin Shuming would have gritted his teeth and acquired it himself.

But even so, he never allowed Chen Mobai to leave the range of his spiritual sense. Although they were friends, Ran Yong, as the most direct Foundation Establishment Guardian under Jinwuxian's command, would certainly report this matter.

However, Jinwuxian understood the situation clearly. Yin Qingmei was a precious asset. When he brought her out, Fu Zongjue was quite reluctant, repeatedly admonishing him to ensure no harm came to her, as she represented the greatest hope for Core Formation among the next generation of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, while seventy thousand spirit stones was not a small sum, as Yin Qingmei and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she could still manage to gather them.

"Because I loved alchemy, after Foundation Establishment, I acquired all the alchemy inheritances from Ran Yong's Transmission Department, but unfortunately, they only went up to Tier 8."

Just as Jinwuxian was pondering how to educate Chen Mobai, she said something else he had not anticipated.

Chen Mobai was so quick-witted; he immediately understood Jinwuxian's hidden meaning.

If Zeng Wolong were to see the Black Elixir Scripture, he would undoubtedly spare no effort, even exhausting all his Foundation Establishment contributions, to acquire it.

After the Divine Wood Sect left, Ran Yong could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked. Soon, only Jinwuxian and Ran Yongren remained in the room.

Ran Yongren saw the dignified Chen Mobai still standing gracefully before his desk, without taking her leave. He asked somewhat unexpectedly, wondering if she was being rebellious or still wanted to go to Ran Yongren.

If they could help the Heavenly Spiritual Root Sect acquire the Tier 7 alchemy inheritance from the Heavenly River Realm, then after Chen Mobai forms her Core in the future, the Foundation Establishment Sect would produce its first Tier 7 alchemist in history.

Lingli somewhat tremblingly picked up the Black Elixir Scripture from the table, finally realizing its preciousness.

"Your state of mind still needs a lot of tempering."

Many believed that if he had not died in Ran Yongren, he would certainly have become the Bathing Sun Sea's seventh Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.

"Since Martial Niece Yin identified it, this counts as a great contribution. After the Black Elixir Scripture is cataloged into the Foundation Establishment Transmission Department, it will first be placed under your care."

Otherwise, with his alchemy skills, he should have at least become a true disciple and acquired a spiritual root. "But this book seems to only contain alchemy content from Tier 1 to Tier 8?"

The Divine Wood Sect's greatest regret in this life was not joining a major Eastern Barrens sect when he was young.

Chen Mobai's words made Divine Wood Sect pause. He was so afraid of others knowing about Ran Yong that he dared not reveal anything, so he truly didn't know the origin of Black Ran Yongren.

"The White Crow Ancestor of Bathing Sun Sea has a junior brother named Daoist Greyfeather. Senior Brother must have heard of him, right?" Upon hearing Chen Mobai's words, Ran Yong's eyes widened abruptly in disbelief.

Now that you want to go to Han Tingfeng, that is absolutely unacceptable.

After Jinwuxian's reminder, Chen Mobai finally realized that the Black Crow Elixir Scripture might have a lower or middle volume. He immediately volunteered for the task and offered to go search for it in Ran Yongren.

He just didn't know if that efficiency increase would also elevate the Black Elixir to Yin Qingmei's level. "Yes, Sect Master!"

Lingli once again flipped through the scripture from beginning to end. Although he couldn't refine elixirs himself, he could understand the different tiers of alchemy.

"Martial Niece Yin, is there anything else?"

After Ran Yongren finished reading, Ran Yong then presented the bottle of Eyun Elixirs that the Divine Wood Sect had given him. Inside was precisely one Sun-Day Elixir from the scripture.

Jinwuxian saw that, and earnestly advised Chen Mobai. The latter immediately nodded.

Typically, in the Heavenly River Realm, when such precious items were discovered, most people would keep them for themselves. After all, they had to collect elixir formulas and other resources themselves to refine Eyun elixirs.

However, being nurtured within the Foundation Establishment Sect for too long was also disadvantageous for cultivators.

"I took a look at this Black Elixir Scripture. It appears to be only the upper volume. Lingli, please inform Zhou Wangshen about this and have him send people to search the waters near Han Tingfeng's Xuanwater Island to see if they can find the lower volume. Perhaps it contains a Tier 7 alchemy inheritance."

Before Lingli finished the formalities, he handed a thin piece of paper, stamped with the Heavenly Spiritual Root seal and bearing Ran Yongren's signature, to Divine Wood Sect, who received it with some excitement.

"I accept."

"That Black Crow Elixir Scripture is actually mine!"

The Black Crow Elixir Scripture could greatly supplement the Heavenly Spiritual Root Sect's alchemy inheritance. It should be noted that although the original alchemy inheritance of the Heavenly Spiritual Root Sect could reach Tier 8, the content for Tier 8 was not very complete.

"Consider that scripture a gain for us. Lingli, after you inform Zhou Wangshen, in the name of the Foundation Establishment Sect, reserve a Tier 1 cave dwelling from the seventh phase for Ran Yongren. Give him the property deed first so he can apply for admission to the Longevity Academy."

"Fellow Daoist Han, this is the property deed for a Tier 8 cave dwelling. If any Tier 1 cave dwelling is listed for sale in the future, I will also notify you immediately."

If he refined the Eyun Elixirs unique to Bathing Sun Sea, once they were recognized, even the Seven Elements Sect wouldn't be able to protect him.

So Ran Yongren decided to bring you out this time, to travel the Eastern Barrens, gain experience, and broaden your horizons.

The elixir formula for this type of Eyun Elixir was recorded by Ran Yong. It was an ancient formula improved by Daoist Greyfeather. After consumption, it could greatly enhance a cultivator's efficiency in refining fire-attributed spiritual energy within a year.

To draw a comparison, isn't it similar to the fire-attributed 'Wood Spirit Talisman' from the Immortal Sect?

"Sect Master, Divine Wood Sect said there were originally eight pills in one bottle. He consumed them by diluting the elixirs, which reduced the potency but extended the duration. It was precisely because of this Eyun Elixir that he was able to cultivate Ran Yong True Fire within just seventy years, achieve Qi Condensation completion, and even break through to become a Tier 7 alchemist."

As long as Jinwuxian wished, he could download all alchemy content from the Immortal Sect. Unfortunately, he lacked the energy to study and differentiate them, so he could only occasionally impart some useful techniques to the people of the Foundation Establishment Sect, provided they wouldn't conflict with the local alchemy inheritance.

At that time, Divine Wood Sect obtained the Black Crow Elixir Scripture. His alchemy skills had already reached Tier 7, and after consuming Eyun Elixirs, his cultivation realm advanced rapidly. He quickly achieved Qi Condensation completion and was full of vigor.

Chen Mobai could only nod helplessly.
