Mo Yang carefully unrolled the ancient scroll, his gaze sweeping over the ancient characters, his heart beginning to pound, and his breathing growing more rapid.
Because within that ancient scroll, there were not only Alchemy methods, but also no less than a hundred Pill Formulas.
Many Medicinal Pills, just by their names, seemed extraordinarily miraculous, and Mo Yang had never heard of them before.
The scroll had long since yellowed, indicating its extreme age; many of the Pill Formulas recorded within it had likely lost their Legacy, and crucially, each Pill Formula was accompanied by its relevant effects and uses.
Mo Yang's hands trembled slightly, his heart filled with an overwhelming excitement.
He never dreamed that the second floor of the stone pagoda would hide such a Treasure Trove.
For a Cultivator, mastering Alchemy was like obtaining an inexhaustible Cultivation treasure house.
He clearly understood what this ancient scroll in his hand meant to him; with the Alchemy methods and so many Pill Formulas, as long as he obtained the corresponding medicinal ingredients, he could begin Alchemy.
Once aided by Medicinal Pills, he would grow stronger at an even faster rate.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart, closed the ancient scroll, and began to search everywhere.
However, the only thing that disappointed him was that the Mind-Cultivation Technique of the second layer of the Star Emperor Scripture did not appear; there was no change on the surrounding pagoda walls.
"It's probably because my Cultivation has not yet entered the Heavenly Profound Realm... Never mind for now, I'll familiarize myself with this Alchemy first..."
For the next few days, Mo Yang continuously comprehended the Alchemy methods in the stone pagoda. Although Alchemy methods were not as profound as Cultivation Techniques, each method had its unique aspects, and the important thing was the control over Alchemy techniques and details; as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
Of course, Mo Yang directly ignored the two factors of the Pill Furnace and Alchemy fire, as there were ready-made ones in the stone pagoda, so he didn't need to consider them at all.
For him, everything was now ready, only lacking medicinal ingredients.
"Medicinal ingredients... it seems I can only go to the Spirit Void Sect's Treasure Trove first..." Mo Yang frowned in thought. Although the Spirit Void Sect was not strong in power, it had a Legacy of several hundred years, so there should be many good things in its Treasure Trove.
Although he could also buy them in the medicine shops in the outside cities, in Mo Yang's opinion, it would be against the natural order to not use such great resources when they were available.
However, the Sect's Treasure Trove, like the scripture pavilion, was a vital area of the Sect, and there would definitely be an Elder of the Sect guarding it.
It would be impossible to enter without anyone knowing.
But just at noon that day, Mo Yang was meditating and regulating his Qi in his small courtyard when a familiar aura appeared in his perception. After realizing it was Su Feier, Mo Yang immediately rejoiced. He had been troubled about how to enter the Sect's Treasure Trove, and wasn't the key right here?
"Mo Yang, come out, you scoundrel!"
Su Feier was not as sneaky as last time; instead, she directly rushed into the small courtyard and immediately began to scold him.
Mo Yang slowly opened his eyes and frowned, saying, "What are you doing here again?"
"Aren't you satisfied with the trouble you caused last time? Do you have to strip yourself naked and rush down from Wood Peak before you'll stop?"
"I can't believe you're so shameless, daring to actually propose marriage to my father! Don't even dream about it, I'd rather die than marry you!" Su Feier said angrily. Seeing Mo Yang, the anger on her face intensified.
"I went..." Mo Yang was a bit bewildered.
Propose marriage?
What the heck?
Thinking carefully, he vaguely felt that it was probably that old fellow, the Grand Elder, causing trouble again.
However, after a brief thought, a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at the enraged Su Feier, spread his hands, and said, "I say, Young Miss, you can't blame me for this. You were the one who insisted I molested you, and you made it known to everyone. If I didn't do this, I would surely get the reputation of eating and running!"
As Mo Yang spoke, he stood up, staring at Su Feier with a somewhat ill-intentioned gaze, and continued, "Besides, upon closer inspection, I find you quite good. While your looks aren't exactly stunning, they're passable!"
"And your figure is great... Tsk tsk... Not bad! Quite substantial!"
"Scoundrel, if you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Su Feier was filled with shame and anger, abruptly turned sideways, and glared at Mo Yang with cold eyes.
Now she felt that Mo Yang was a scoundrel, and not just any scoundrel that she could bully at will.
Mo Yang's character was impervious to persuasion, and his Cultivation was much higher than hers, so she had no way to deal with him.
At this moment, she was filled with regret. If she had known this, she would never have caused such a scene back then. Now, everyone in the Sect suspected whether Mo Yang had really done something to her, and their gazes whenever they looked at her were always strange.
Watching Su Feier's exasperated look, Mo Yang coughed a few times and said seriously, "You can have peace, but you must help me with a favor first!"
Upon hearing this, Su Feier's two willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she snorted coldly, "Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"
Mo Yang spread his hands with a helpless expression and said, "Believe it or not!"
Seeing that Su Feier said nothing, he continued, "My request is very simple. I need several medicinal ingredients; you get them for me, and from now on, you and I will not interfere with each other."
Su Feier eyed Mo Yang suspiciously. Mo Yang understood well and quickly turned to go into the house to retrieve a piece of paper. This was the list of medicinal ingredients he planned to try refining for those Medicinal Pills, with the corresponding quantities marked.
"These are common medicinal ingredients. You are the Sect Master's daughter; it's just a trip to the Treasure Trove!"
Mo Yang said as he handed the list to Su Feier.
Su Feier had no other options now. After a moment of hesitation, she took the list and glanced at it, then said to Mo Yang, "If you dare to go back on your word, I'll make sure you become a eunuch!"
Mo Yang looked at Su Feier, who stormed out of the small courtyard, his expression somewhat astonished. He knew Su Feier had a fierce temperament, but he hadn't expected her to be so fierce. Recalling the look in Su Feier's eyes as she left, he involuntarily felt a chill down his spine.
"Tsk tsk, this girl, better not provoke her in the future!"
After muttering a few words, he turned and walked into the house, intending to study the Pill Furnace.
As for Su Feier's matter, he didn't dwell on it at all, as the whole proposal business had nothing to do with him.
Everything was faster than Mo Yang expected. Two hours later, Su Feier returned.
Upon entering the small courtyard, she directly threw a storage ring to Mo Yang, then coldly snorted, "Everything you wanted is inside!"
Mo Yang quickly took the storage ring, and after inspecting it, his face immediately filled with joy.
The quantity was much more than what he had listed, at least four or five times the amount he had specified.
However, upon closer thought, it made sense; with Su Feier's personality, she probably hadn't bothered to look closely at the quantities and just threw all the medicinal ingredients in.
