The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 814 - 812: Dan Dao Courtyard! Fan Yitong!

Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Dan Dao Courtyard! Fan Yitong!

For three whole days, Lin Bai had not left his room.

After three days, the elixir pills Elder Wenyue had given to Lin Bai finally healed him completely.

Lin Bai got out of bed and walked around the room, flexing his muscles and bones, "Now as I move about, there’s no longer that tearing pain inside my body."

"Right now, I’m just like any ordinary person, except I have no Dantian and cultivation."

Lin Bai walked out of his room and went to the corner of the wall, picking up a tree branch.

Whoosh——

Grasping the branch, Lin Bai’s whole body tensed, and a breeze suddenly picked up in the courtyard, lifting the fallen leaves off the ground.

This seemingly ordinary branch had become like an unbreakable sharp sword in Lin Bai’s hands at this moment!

"Even though my cultivation is gone, fortunately, my sword intention remains!"

Lin Bai took a step forward, thrusting the branch out in front of him as he executed his sword skill.

Although this set of sword skills appeared profound and inscrutable, it actually had little offensive power since Lin Bai currently had no spiritual power in his body.

Practicing the sword skill was just to reassure Lin Bai that his body had fully recovered.

Half an hour later, Lin Bai stopped his movements, gasping for breath, a hint of joy on his face, "My body has now fully recovered, it’s time to go to the Dan Dao Courtyard to find the Heaven Repairing Pill."

"And since I now have no spiritual power in my body and can’t control the spirit fire and elixir pills, I need to find someone to help me make them."

Lin Bai stood in the courtyard, muttering to himself.

Alchemy wasn’t something just anyone could do casually.

First of all, controlling the flame of alchemy requires a warrior’s excellent control of spiritual power.

If the spiritual power increases, the spirit fire becomes stronger and the spiritual medicine in the elixir furnace might be burnt to nothing.

If the spiritual power is insufficient, the spirit fire will be weak, and the elixir pills produced may very well end up useless.

And now, Lin Bai had no spiritual power, so he couldn’t perform alchemy himself.

Therefore, Lin Bai just needed to find a trustworthy person to help him make a Heaven Repairing Pill.

Just at this time, Tang Bufan came back from outside.

From afar, Lin Bai saw Tang Bufan looking utterly dejected.

Lin Bai asked with a smile, "What’s wrong, Bufan?"

Tang Bufan replied with a wry face, "Lin Bai, you don’t know how black-hearted the Sword Art Academy is, a Heaven Level First Grade martial technique actually costs a hundred points to exchange in the Sword Skill Pavilion!"

"And we only get ten points for hunting down a Human Elixir Realm First Layer demon beast!"

"Martial techniques are too expensive!"

Tang Bufan said with a look of distress.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately mulled over: if a Human Elixir Realm First Layer demon beast is only worth ten points, a Heaven Level First Grade martial technique costs a hundred points – indeed, that is rather expensive!

If a Heaven Level First Grade martial technique is already so pricey, what about a Heaven Level Ninth Grade technique? Wouldn’t that require a few thousand points?

And what about Divine Powers?

Divine powers are probably even more expensive than martial techniques.

That was when Lin Bai truly understood what Pei Ji and Yuan Qing had said before, that points would be greatly valuable on the Miracle Ridge.

On the Miracle Ridge, all cultivation resources must be exchanged for points.

Whether it is spiritual medicine, spiritual pills, spiritual tools, martial techniques, divine powers, and so on, all require a vast amount of points.

Tang Bufan said, "Let it go, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Lin Bai, why are you out here, how are your injuries?"

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "My injuries are no longer a major issue. Perfect timing as you’ve just returned. I wanted to let you know that I’ll be temporarily leaving the Sword Art Academy for a few days to seek elixirs at the Dan Dao Courtyard!"

Tang Bufan curiously asked, "Are you going to the Dan Dao Courtyard to look for elixirs to repair your Dantian? Let me accompany you. I’ve just made a breakthrough to the Human Elixir Realm First Layer, and since you are without cultivation right now, I can protect you on the way."

Lin Bai shook his head, "There’s no need. We’ve both just joined the Sword Art Academy, you should get familiar with its rules. I can go to the Dan Dao Courtyard by myself, don’t worry about me!"

Despite Tang Bufan’s insistence on accompanying Lin Bai, he ultimately declined.

Afterward, Lin Bai and Tang Bufan had lunch together.

Lin Bai then left the Sword Art Academy, took out a map, found the direction to the Dan Dao Courtyard, and headed straight there.

The Sword Art Academy and the Dan Dao Courtyard were not far apart; a mountain range separated the two academies.

Following the mountain path from the Sword Art Academy, Lin Bai quickly entered the territory of the Dan Dao Courtyard.

Upon stepping into the Dan Dao Courtyard, Lin Bai immediately noticed the strong medicinal fragrance wafting through the air.

The Dan Dao Courtyard had always been a bustling place within the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge.

Every day, a large number of martial artists from the Nine Courtyards would come seeking medicine.

Alchemists, wherever they are, are always in high demand.

In the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge, the Sword Art Academy, the Fist Daoist Courtyard, the Knife Dao Sect, the Spear Daoist Courtyard, and the Chulong Courtyard all value strength above all!

Meanwhile, the Dan Dao Courtyard, Artifact Dao Sect, Heavenly Sound Court, and Array Dao Temple all value the standard of crafting treasures.

For example, in the Dan Dao Courtyard, the higher quality elixir pills you can craft, the higher your status within the courtyard.

There was once an alchemy prodigy who joined the Dan Dao Courtyard, and on the second day, crafted a high-grade elixir pill, which immediately earned him the position of a high-ranking elder in the Dan Dao Courtyard, and his fame spread throughout the Miracle Ridge in an instant.

"Come on, come on, hurry up, if we’re late, there won’t even be a spot to stand in, let alone sit."

"That’s right, move faster!"

Curiously, Lin Bai watched one warrior after another briskly passing by his side.

Their expressions were all marked by urgency and excitement, all heading in the same direction as if by an unspoken agreement.

"What are they up to?" Lin Bai wondered aloud, puzzled.

Without delay, Lin Bai stopped a warrior passing by and politely inquired, "Hello there, brother, may I ask what is everyone rushing for?"

The young martial artist impatiently replied, "You’re holding me up; if I don’t get there soon, I’ll only be able to watch from the periphery!"

Lin Bai, curious, asked, "Watch what?"

The young martial artist looked at Lin Bai as if he were an idiot, and said, "Since you’ve come to the Dan Dao Courtyard, don’t you know that today, the chief disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, Gu Yueqing, is performing alchemy in public, and she’s even crafting one of the three great miracle pills of the Dan Dao Courtyard—the Human Emperor Elixir?"

"Gu Yueqing alchemy? The three great miracle pills?" Lin Bai mumbled to himself, still confused.

The young martial artist said, "It seems you really don’t know. Let’s head there together, I’ll explain to you along the way."

"By the way, my name is Fan Yitong. May I ask for your esteemed surname?"

Upon hearing the martial artist’s name, Lin Bai couldn’t help but smile, "I am Lin Bai. Brother Fan, your name is quite unique."

"Fan Yitong!"

"A barrel of rice..." Lin Bai said with a slight smile.

The martial artist gave a sheepish smile, "Uh, let’s not talk about this, who knows what my father was thinking when naming me."

"Brother Lin, are you going to watch Sister Gu Yueqing perform alchemy too? Let’s go together."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai pondered for a moment and replied, "Indeed, I’m quite unfamiliar with the alchemists of the Dan Dao Courtyard. Since I have the opportunity to watch the chief disciple perform alchemy, naturally, I must go and see."

Lin Bai had two objectives for coming to the Dan Dao Courtyard.

One was to find the materials to craft the Heaven Repairing Pill.

The other was to find a trustworthy alchemist to help Lin Bai with his alchemy!

This alchemist must not only earn Lin Bai’s trust but must also have profound achievements in the art of alchemy. Otherwise, ordinary alchemists would likely be unable to craft the Heaven Repairing Pill!

The Heaven Repairing Pill was a king-level elixir in Lin Bai’s memory.

Elixir pills are also graded, from first-grade to ninth-grade, and above ninth-grade are king-level elixirs.

Simultaneously, alchemists are deemed first-grade alchemy masters upon crafting a first-grade elixir pill; should they manage to craft a nine-grade elixir, they are considered ninth-grade alchemy masters.

To secure one’s status as a ninth-grade alchemy master, one must have crafted nine-grade elixirs three times; only then is one truly considered a ninth-grade alchemy master. Occasionally crafting a ninth-grade elixir does not count one as a ninth-grade alchemy master.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the current Territory of all nations, the number of king-level alchemists able to craft the king-level Heaven Repairing Pill would not exceed three!
