In this dicine Hall, everything appeared ordinary, and indeed, it was quite ordinary—at least, that was ng Yirou's impression.
The truly astonishing treasures were actually with Senior Gu.
But this book... it wasn't just ng Yirou; even Bai Fei'er was slightly drawn to it when she saw it, because the cover bore the four large characters "The Grand dicine Compendium."
"The Grand dicine Compendium? What is that?"
Although Bai Fei'er had so doubts in her heart, she didn't want to open the book, nor did she know what it was. Senior Gu's belongings shouldn't be touched carelessly. Didn't she just see ng Yirou get caught red-handed for doing so?
She didn't want to cause any trouble and possibly anger Senior Gu, especially since he had treated her well.
"The Grand dicine Compendium... could it really exist?"
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread".
ng Yirou was more knowledgeable. The mont she heard the na, her expression changed.
Bai Fei'er asked her in confusion, "Do you know about it?"
ng Yirou pursed her lips and whispered, "I once heard my master ntion it. It's said that in the ancient Great Void Era, a 'dicine Immortal' wrote the Grand dicine Compendium and used it to prove his path, gaining great fa. Unfortunately, it later went missing... Could this book be that Grand dicine Compendium?"
The Grand dicine Compendium was a legend in the world, a "rumor" that alchemists had never stopped searching for. Of course, no one had found it. The Great Void Era was a million years ago, and countless people had sought this priceless treasure.
ng Yirou didn't know if the Grand dicine Compendium was as miraculous as the rumors claid, but her master had discussed it with her in detail. She rembered her master saying that although the Grand dicine Compendium was written by a dicine Immortal, it contained the secrets of heaven and earth, and only those with great fortune and determination could glimpse it.
"This..."
ng Yirou looked at the seemingly unremarkable old book and hesitated, glancing at Bai Fei'er.
No, it's too difficult not to want to look at it!
She was obsessed with the art of alchemy, and now she had a chance to see a priceless treasure from legend. Although its authenticity was uncertain, even with Senior Gu's prowess, it was hard to say if it was real.
Then, ng Yirou made up her mind.
She slowly approached, her jade hand moving extrely slowly, about to touch the book's cover.
Suddenly, a trendous force surged forth!
ng Yirou was caught off guard, but the pendant around her neck silently shattered in an instant. Yet, the force continued unabated. At that mont, a silver cat suddenly appeared, leaping onto the book, and with a swipe of its paw, it knocked ng Yirou's hand aside.
ng Yirou clutched her hand in pain, nearly stumbling and falling.
"ow~"
Su Jinxi lazily yawned, looking at ng Yirou with disdain in her eyes.
"Such ignorance, daring to peek at such a divine object with just an Out-of-Body stage."
She had just finished a bowl of dicinal soup and was resting on top of the dicine cabinet, refining the dicinal power. Who would have thought these two ignorant girls would dare to touch the Grand dicine Compendium? If she hadn't intervened in ti, ng Yirou would have been crushed to dust by the compendium's power!
Bai Fei'er, upon seeing Su Jinxi, imdiately recognized her as the Nine-Lives Demon Cat that Senior Gu kept as a pet and said in fear, "Thank you, Senior Demon Cat, for saving us!"
She had only felt the slightest ripple from the Grand dicine Compendium, and it nearly caused her body to explode. If not for this demon cat's tily intervention, she would have perished.
"What do you an, Senior Demon Cat! I'm Su Jinxi, the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, and you two are so disrespectful."
Su Jinxi bared her teeth and claws.
"That book... is really the Grand dicine Compendium!"
ng Yirou was still shaken. The pendant around her neck was a Sacred Grade protective treasure, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, yet it shattered like an ordinary object. Fortunately, the Nine-Lives Demon Cat intervened; otherwise, she would have died a horrible death.
But precisely because of this, the compendium must be real!
"Are you a disciple of the Divine dical Palace Master?"
Su Jinxi walked gracefully to ng Yirou, raising her head slightly.
"Yes, I am. I didn't know, Senior Jinxi..."
"Never mind, don't think about what you shouldn't. Luckily, my master asked to keep an eye on you; otherwise, you two would be dead by now! Now hurry and leave, stop disturbing my rest, or I'll bite your heads off!"
Su Jinxi's sharp teeth glinted nacingly, and her imposing aura pressed down on them.
ng Yirou and Bai Fei'er imdiately apologized repeatedly and then rushed out the door.
"Hmph, two little girls."
Su Jinxi flicked her tail, glanced at the Grand dicine Compendium, resisted the urge to open it, and jumped back onto the dicine cabinet to continue resting.
...
The two girls dashed out of Greenwood City and stopped in the forest outside the city.
ng Yirou, still shaken, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and gasped, "That demon cat... she said she's the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, Su Jinxi?"
Bai Fei'er was also pale, "That's what she said..."
"Hmm..."
ng Yirou nodded, then suddenly thought of sothing, "Wait!"
"Recently, there was news from the demon clan that the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan died while attempting to reach the Great Ascension stage, unable to withstand the tribulation!"
This news had caused a huge stir, known to everyone. Although ng Yirou didn't pay much attention to demon clan affairs, she couldn't avoid hearing the rumors.
"What?!"
Bai Fei'er was instantly terrified, "Then the Nine-Lives Demon Cat we just saw must be..."
ng Yirou agreed, "It should be that Grand Elder! She's still alive, but now she's with Senior Gu... there must be so secret behind this!"
However, whatever the secret was, it wasn't her concern.
Human clans should stay out of demon clan affairs, as the King of Ten Thousand Demons didn't like humans much.
More importantly, there was the Grand dicine Compendium and the three freshly made eighth-grade pills in her hand.
With such a reclusive master of extraordinary skill, whose dical prowess was unparalleled, just watching him refine dicine had suddenly pushed her cultivation to the brink of a breakthrough, and her alchemy skills seed on the verge of advancing too!
"Miss Fei'er, I have urgent matters and must return to the Divine dical Palace. I won't forget the kindness of tonight, and from now on, we are friends."
ng Yirou said solemnly.
Although this "opportunity" was given by Senior Gu, without Bai Fei'er leading the way, how could she have found it?
Moreover, it seed that Senior Gu had gifted this Bai Family young lady a Sacred Grade Divine Weapon, clearly valuing her talent and intending to nurture her! In that case, it was better to establish a connection, which would surely be beneficial in the future.
Bai Fei'er was montarily stunned, then overjoyed, and imdiately agreed.
Becoming friends with the Divine dical Palace's saint was sothing she never dared to dream of before.
Thanks to Senior Gu!
