Chapter 157: Chapter 55 What Are You Asking This For? 【Seeking Monthly Pass】_1

After leaving the Law Protection Hall, Chu Liang made his way to the Pill Furnace Hall. He seemed intent on touring all four halls in a day.

In the Pill Furnace Hall, aside from areas for selling elixirs and arranging for alchemy services, there was a special hall called the "Treasure Medicine Hall," where all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were listed.

Over the years, Shu Mountain’s disciples would report any heavenly materials and earthly treasures they saw or learned about during their travels to the Pill Furnace Hall. That way, if someone needed such a material or treasure in the future, they might find clues here.

No rewards were given for providing such information, but, by convention, those who found a treasure based on the information were expected to thank the person who provided it.

Particularly important was the Treasure Medicine Hall for those in the three Earth Barrier Realms: Golden Core, Five Elements, and Dharma Body. In these realms, the demand for resources was immense, and gathering them solo could be difficult.

This was Chu Liang’s first time visiting the place.

Upon entering, he saw quite a number of disciples from Shu Mountain. They were gathered around a large wheel in the center of the room, which was covered with bamboo tags, each listing the name of a treasure medicine and its possible locations.

Chu Liang had a plan. If he wanted to refine two high-quality Golden Cores, he needed to perform a Yin Yang dual cultivation. In addition to the Dark Sea Golden Lotus he already had, he also needed a heavenly material and earthly treasure with Yang attributes. Chu Liang had already asked Wen Yulong about the names of possible treasure medicines and was now looking for them on the wheel.

Although there was much information, it was not difficult for cultivators with Divine Sense to take in all at once.

After a while, Chu Liang located three pieces of information.

"Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower, possibly located in Black Whale Mountain in the Eastern Region."

"Three-hundred-year-old Spiritual Ginseng, possibly located in Northern Yinglong Ridge."

"Burning Sun White Deer Snow Lotus, possibly located in Scorching Sun Plain in the Western Regions."

These three items were among all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures Chu Liang saw that could be used to refine the Yang-attribute materials of his top-quality Golden Core.

After some deliberation, he selected the bamboo tag referring to the Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower.

Although the other two, the three-hundred-year-old Spiritual Ginseng and the Burning Sun White Deer Snow Lotus, also had their merits, they were too far away. The Yinglong Ridge and Scorching Sun Plain were both remote and desolate.

If given a choice, Black Whale Mountain in the Eastern Region was obviously more suitable.

Picking up the bamboo tag, he flipped it over to read the details about the person who had provided the information.

Turns out, the person had stumbled upon the Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower on Black Whale Mountain while on a mission but was driven away by a powerful Treasure Demon Guard before they could harvest it.

The informant’s signature was tiny and read Lin Bei from Jade Sword Peak.

"Hmm?" Chu Liang’s eyes glinted with amusement at the name. That guy was actually the one who discovered the Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower?

Funny coincidence.

He promptly pocketed the bamboo tag, planning to inquire Lin Bei about it later. It seemed that while he had been busy running around, Lin Bei hadn’t been idle either.

After leaving the Pill Furnace Hall, the next stop was the Law Enforcement Hall.

The entrance to the Law Enforcement Hall was eerie and cold. Chu Liang looked at it and grimaced. He decided against going in.

Good people didn’t visit such places.

The only time he had violated Shu Mountain’s rules was when he was caught "shearing wool" (exploiting) resources meant for a spirit beast, and back then Eldest Senior Brother had been the one who got caught. Other than that, he had always been a rule-abiding cultivator.

...

However, instead of going to Jade Sword Peak, he returned to Silver Sword Peak and sent a paper crane message to Lin Bei, asking him to come over.

It wasn’t that he was ordering Lin Bei around. Given that Empress Feng and Wang Xuanling had an old grudge, if he went to Jade Sword Peak, who knew if any disciple would pick a fight with him.

But it was different if Lin Bei came to Silver Sword Peak. Here, Chu Liang could protect him. After all, he was the honored eldest senior brother of Silver Sword Peak – second only to one and above all others.

Chu Liang looked at Little Yi and Eldest Senior Brother playing outside and smirked.

Just as he was thinking, golden rain started to fall outside. The slow descending dragon breath transformed the newly sprouted Gold Pattern Berries.

The supply chain for the Dragon Breath Golden Prints Juice Fruit is already healthy, with the Ghost Tree providing an endless supply of Black Fur Balls. Chu Liang occasionally reaps some, then plants them in a small flower plot, where the dragon breath is nourished by rain to enhance its quality.

Although it is just a small flower field now, Chu Liang can foresee a future where it expands into a vast sea of Gold Pattern Flowers.

He might even have a plantation of Dragon Breath Golden Prints Juice Fruits!

By then, a single Little Yi might not be enough, he might need to find a few more demonic spirits to work in the plantation for him.

What an alluring prospect...

"Hey, hey, hey!"

A loud laughter interrupted Chu Liang’s daydreaming.

A young hero with bushy eyebrows and full of yang energy landed on the peak. As soon as he landed, the Golden Fur Beast immediately became alert and laid down on the ground.

"No need to panic, we’re all pals." Chu Liang, mimicking Empress Feng’s tone, gestured to the big headed beast.

The Golden Fur Beast immediately received this message, turned its head, and went back to frolicking with Little Yi.

"Wow." Lin Bei exclaimed, "In just a few days we haven’t met, you’ve already got a Fifth Stage spirit pet!"

"It’s just a fortunate coincidence." Chu Liang smiled.

"That big head, is obviously intelligent." Lin Bei praised with envy.

"Well spotted." Chu Liang gave a thumbs up, then changed the subject, "Anyway, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"I do." Lin Bei replied.

"Eh?" Chu Liang was taken aback.

"Isn’t it to congratulate me on breaking through to the late stage of the Divine Consciousness Realm!" Lin Bei smirked, a devilish smile on his face.

"...huh? How did you cultivate so quickly?" Chu Liang was truly surprised.

"It’s a long story." Lin Bei started, "I came looking for you for a mission a while back, but Little Yi said you went to Taotie City, so I teamed up with others."

Chu Liang nodded, indeed, after returning from Taotie City, he hadn’t seen Lin Bei.

"We went to Black Whale Mountain near the Eastern Sea, where a water demon was causing trouble for the villagers." Lin Bei excitedly explained, "During the thrilling chase and combat with the water demon, I accidentally fell down a cliff on Black Whale Mountain, and I found several heavenly materials and earthly treasures there!"

"I only had time to pluck a century-old Fire Ginseng Mushroom, I wanted to gather more, but I was chased away by an old monkey."

Lin Bei slapped his thigh in regret.

"After coming back, I consumed and refined the Fire Ginseng Mushroom, and directly broke through to the late stage of the Divine Consciousness Realm. The medicinal strength still remains. Maybe I will reach the peak of the Divine Consciousness Realm before you!" He laughed, patting Chu Liang’s shoulder.

"The Fire Ginseng Mushroom is indeed a rare treasure medicine that can enhance cultivation without any side effects." Chu Liang calmly nodded, "Such good luck."

"Haha." Lin Bei laughed again, then asked, "Alright, now tell me what’s the real reason you called me here?"

Okay then.

So you do know that I called you here for something important.

Chu Liang muttered silently in his heart, then said aloud, "I happened to see the message you left at the Pill Furnace Hall, which said that you have discovered the Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower. So I came to ask you for more specific details."

"Hehe, then you are asking the right person. The Sword Leaf Xuan Yang Flower was also at the bottom of that cliff, and apart from me, hardly anyone else could find that place..." Lin Bei proudly boast, beating his chest.

But in the next second, his smile suddenly disappeared, as though he had thought of something terrible.

"Wait..."

"What do you need it for?"
