Chapter 139 – New Harvest
“Xumi Palace, also known as Mantuo Shen Mansion, was created by a Xumi Taoist using a myriad of the world’s spiritual objects. Refined over many years, it has now beco a divine artefact. Since the beginning, when the Mi Luo and Xian Luo continents were ford, there were rumours. These rumours said that whoever possessed Xumi Palace obtained heavenly law, and that whoever obtained heavenly law, would rule all lands under heaven. Therefore, the person who inherits this divine artefact must be descended from a divine bloodline. They must harbour virtuous thoughts and beneficence towards common people, otherwise, they will be devoured whole by heavenly law itself.”
“Xumi Palace is divided into nine palaces and eighty one doors, the nine palaces are; Spirit Firmant, Black Firmant, Green Firmant, Blue Firmant, Scarlet Firmant, Jade Firmant, Athyst Firmant, Highest Firmant, and Divine Firmant. Each palace has nine doors, and each of the nine doors have a set location. But if the nine doors open all together, a formation will be activated and the nine doors will disappear, changing into a palace instead.”
Hexi continued to read, discovering that in addition to storing treasures in Spirit Firmant Palace, the biggest feature here is the ti stagnation. Of course, this kind of ti stagnation could only be useful for storing foods as it was unable to be used for cultivation, so it’s only function is keeping food fresh.
When Hexi went to look at the information detailing the other palaces’, she found that the text was covered by a layer of white mist, causing it to be unreadable. It seems that the information will only be readable once the palaces are unlocked.
Moreover, looking at the aning of this guide, it appeared that each palace served a different purpose. Inside each palace there are probably more treasures concealed, so once all of the palaces are open, there would be a large sum of money, enough that it could make one very wealthy.
Unsatisfied by the lack of information, Hexi put the guide down and picked up the remaining jade slips.
In these four jade slips, three contained the sa type of content; they were ancient records from the Xumi Taoist, called the All Living Things Record. The All Living Things Record was divided into sections docunting spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, and spiritual tools. Everything that the Xumi Taoist had seen throughout their life was described inside and instead of vague details, each characteristic, as well as the locations of where they could be found, was docunted with great care. It included information about all kinds of rare treasures, rare birds, and unusual beasts, there was even a clear image of each thing accompanying the jade slip.
Wasn’t the All Living Things Record like a version of the Compendium of Materia dica[1]? Hexi had been afraid that because she herself is a newbie in this different world, that she wouldn’t be able to recognise or understand anything and be considered a country bumpkin. Now she doesn’t need to be worried!
By the ti Hexi had reached the last jade slip, she was positively overjoyed. Her previously neutral expression transforming into a brilliant smile.
Recorded in the last jade slip is the knowledge on how to refine pills, written by Old Man Xumi himself. Called the Overflowing Cauldron Pill Scripture, it lists the prescription for every kind of precious pill.
In her previous life, Hexi was known as an accomplished doctor with excellent dical expertise, so when she arrived in this strange cultivation world, of course she wanted to learn how to refine pills. But unfortunately in Mi Luo continent, becoming a doctor is a scarce profession. The art of pill refining is secretly passed down between family mbers, or between master and disciple. If you were able to find a book regarding pill refining at the market, describing its basic foundation, it would be priceless.
And yet here this jade slip regarding pill refining was found, listing in detail all kinds of dicine ingredients and prescription combinations. Combinations detailing the choosing and usage, how to pair them, contradictory dicines, and even how to refine fire attribute and temperature control. So once Hexi saw this, she exclaid in joy.
“Mother, I’m hungry. How about you roast this egg for to eat?”
Hexi, imrsed in the Overflowing Cauldron Pill Scripture, extricated herself with reluctance as Dandan’s eager voice reached her ears.
Hexi turned her head in surprise, and seeing Dandan holding sothing round, she couldn’t stop black lines from forming on her forehead. Isn’t that the naless egg from one of the jade boxes?
“You’re not allowed to eat that! I’ll go out now to find food for you, so behave and take good care of the egg for . If you dare eat the egg, don’t ever think about eating anything in the future!”
