Chapter 1183: Medicinal Valley
“You’ve finished reading it?!” asked Elder Wan Zheng in shock. “You’ve already remembered all the formulas here?”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
Actually, she had already finished reading it a few days ago, but she only had time to return the book today.
A portion of it was eighth-grade formulas, and the other portion was ninth-grade formulas. They were all for superior pills.
Elder Wan Zheng looked at her doubtfully. “I know that you have a photographic memory, but… You’ve understood the ninth-grade formulas here?”
One had to know that the difference between an eighth-grade pill and a ninth-grade pill wasn’t that simple. The number of herbs used in a ninth-grade pill was many more than the number of herbs used in an eighth-grade one. Additionally, its steps were complicated and had an extremely high requirement for techniques.
It was actually not that simple to break through to become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor from an eighth-grade one. Normally, eighth-grade heavenly doctors had to spend a lot of time understanding ninth-grade formulas.
It has only been ten days… He has already memorized all of them ?
Meeting his gaze, Chu Liuyue smiled openly. “If you don’t believe me, you can just test me.”
Elder Wan Zheng took the book over and asked a few questions.
Chu Liuyue answered them smoothly.
Elder Wan Zheng stared at her, and his eyelids twitched harshly. “…Y-you’ve seen the formulas here before?”
Chu Liuyue paused for a moment. “I’ve seen five of them before.”
This meant that she had seen the remaining ones for the first time, yet she was able to understand all of them in such a short period of time!
Elder Wan Zheng felt very conflicted at that moment. When I saw Chu Yue successfully producing the pill that day, I already knew that he would be close to breaking through to become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor. However, this is too…
“What’s wrong, Master?” Chu Liuyue saw his weird expression and couldn’t help but ask.
Elder Wan Zheng held the cauldron and waved his hands. “It’s nothing; I was just feeling emotional. So this is how it feels like to have a talented disciple.”
Chu Liuyue was speechless.
“Kid… you have been so quiet all the way. You’re really…” Elder Wan Zheng glanced at Chu Liuyue deeply.
I have been in Ling Xiao Academy for many years and have seen countless students. Those who can enter this place are definitely all geniuses, but there are also differences between them. And Chu Yue… is undoubtedly one of the top few!
Actually, even now, I’m still not sure of my new disciple’s family background. If he really comes from an aristocratic family, his name would’ve been spread far and wide if he had such talent.
Chu Liuyue looked down slightly. Hm? It seems like I can ‘t count it like that completely. .. My reputation as the Sky-Cloud Empire’s princess consort has been spread pretty far and wide recen tly…
However, she naturally couldn’t say this.
“Have you tried producing a ninth-grade pill?” asked Elder Wan Zheng.
Chu Liuyue shook her head. I haven ‘t recovered my abilities after I was reborn, so I didn’t do it.
Thinking of the pill she previously produced with its uniform color and thick herbal fragrance, it
could’ve been considered a superior one!
“Your aura seems to be stronger than before?” As Chu Liuyue had been carrying a Yuan instrument that hid her aura with her, even Elder Wan Zheng couldn’t clearly determine her current cultivation level.
Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. “I just broke through to become an intermediate stage-seven warrior.”
“I knew it!” Elder Wan Zheng thought deeply for a moment before punching his other palm and saying in temptation, “Since you’ve already broken through, why don’t you directly try to produce a ninth-grade pill?”
Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment and didn’t reject him. “I’ll listen to you, Mentor.”
Elder Wan Zheng was elated when he heard his disciple agree. “Don’t worry. This is just a trial, so it’s fine if you fail. Anyway, I’m here! Since you’ve already finished that book, do you like any of the inferior-cla.s.s ninth-grade pills?”
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and chose a simpler one. “I feel that the Transcend Ninth Golden Pill is not bad.”
“Transcend Ninth Golden Pill? It’s decent—that pill can aid stage-eight warriors to become a stage-nine one. If you can successfully produce it, you can use it for yourself in the future!” Elder Wan Zheng felt that this choice was very good and immediately agreed. “Its production method is considered relatively easy amongst ninth-grade pills. It’s good to use it to practice, but some of the herbs within are quite special, so I don’t have them with me. Go to Medicinal Valley and get some!”
Chu Liuyue originally wanted to say that she had those herbs, but after some thinking, she swallowed her words.
Anyway, she still had the 100,000 points Elder Wan Zheng gave her, and she hadn’t really used them. Besides, she had been in the academy for a while now, so she wanted to take the chance to check Medicinal Valley out.
“Okay.”
After confirming the herbs she was about to collect, Elder Wan Zheng told her the exact position of Medicinal Valley and let her leave.
Chu Liuyue acknowledged it respectfully and left for Medicinal Valley alone.
Ling Xiao Academy was huge.
Medicinal Valley was a place specifically used to plant herbs in the academy, so it occupied a larger s.p.a.ce.
Chu Liuyue took about an hour to reach it.
As its name suggested, Medicinal Valley was a valley. There were two rising mountains on the sides and a valley in the middle.
Inside the valley and the two mountain peaks were all kinds of planted herbs.
Chu Liuyue stood on one of the mountain peaks and looked down. Even though she was already prepared, she couldn’t help but look surprised.
The ground that was neatly cut into separate pieces had all kinds of treasured herbs on it. Its color was vibrant and brilliant.
The intense fragrance of the various herbs caused one to be rejuvenated when smelling it.
Amongst them, one could see figures of some elders and students. This scene was unexpectedly harmonious.
In the middle of the valley was a piece of empty land. An elder placed a bed there, lay on it, and looked very carefree.
Some people walked past from time to time.
After watching for a while, Chu Liuyue understood that this elder should be in charge of guarding the herbs within Medicinal Valley.
Everyone who came to exchange herbs at Medicinal Valley had to register on that elder’s side.
Chu Liuyue flew down.
Medicinal Valley was huge, and there were many herbs planted here, so it wasn’t that easy to accurately find the herbs one needed. Luckily, Chu Liuyue had already confirmed three of the herbs’ locations when she came over, so she quickly found them after she went down.
There were two other herbs remaining, and she started searching for them slowly in the vast spread of herbs.
Being immersed in it, she was surrounded by the aroma of the herbs. Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but take a deep breath in and felt more refreshed.
Actually, Chu Liuyue wasn’t lacking any herbs. After all, Shangguan Jing and Rong Xiu’s items were basically all with her.
But looking across the field, she still saw some treasured herbs she didn’t have.
The treasured herbs that seemed hard to find outside were ordinary here. The top academy in the G.o.d Residence Realm indeed lived up to its reputation! .
