Mortal Seeking Immortal

To make a golden elixir, many rare natural materials and treasures are needed. Ye Zhou plans to obtain them from the secret realm, so he agreed to go to the secret realm with the Sixth Elder.

The Sixth Elder told Ye Zhou that the secret realm would be opened in two months, and he should try not to leave the sect before that time, so as not to miss the time to enter the secret realm.

After Ye Zhou agreed, he saw that the Sixth Elder had no other instructions, so he bowed and left.

After leaving Wuliang Mountain, Ye Zhou rushed all the way to Lingfa Mountain. He planned to find some books related to the formation of elixir in the library to read one or two, so as to prepare for the formation of elixir in the future.

The library is located in a relatively secluded place on Lingfa Mountain. It is a three-story wooden building with an antique style, and its exterior is covered with layers of strict formations.

There are very few disciples coming and going here. Most of the disciples who come and go to Lingfa Mountain go to the Mission Hall or the Transmission Hall. Only disciples like Ye Zhou who need to check some specific information will come to the library.

Ye Zhou lowered his flying sword and came to the library. There were no disciples guarding the door of the library. There was only a water-film-like soundproof cover on the door. Ye Zhou went straight through the soundproof cover and entered the library.

Once he entered the library, Ye Zhou felt that the surroundings became extremely quiet. He could even hear his own slight breathing.

Everywhere he looked was a row of tall and neat bookshelves made of spiritual wood, on which jade slips were neatly placed.

However, the bookshelves here were not marked and classified. Ye Zhou wanted to find the jade slips related to Dan from these piles of jade slips, which was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

It seemed that he needed to find someone to ask.

Ye Zhou slightly turned his head to look to both sides. He saw a simple wooden table in the corner on the left side of the library. Behind the wooden table sat a middle-aged man wearing a simple gray robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and a mustache. He looked like the manager of the library.

The middle-aged steward had no spiritual power fluctuations around him, just like an ordinary person, but he also had a temperament that transcended the mortal world, which made people dare not despise him.

At this time, the middle-aged steward was holding a book and reading it with relish, and he didn't notice that someone had entered the library.

Ye Zhou walked straight to the middle-aged steward and stood in front of the wooden table and bowed to him respectfully.

But the middle-aged steward's eyes did not pay any attention to Ye Zhou, and still fell on the book, as if the book had attracted all his attention.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel curious about this book, and glanced at the book in the middle-aged steward's hand. He saw that the pages of the book had turned yellow, and it looked like it was a bit old. The cover was blank, and it was actually a book without a name.

After a while, when the middle-aged manager finished reading the current page of the book, he took the opportunity to look up and glance at Ye Zhou lightly while turning the pages, and said in a low voice:

"Disciples of our sect need to pay two medium-grade spirit stones for every half hour of reading. If it exceeds half an hour but less than a quarter of an hour, it will be charged as half an hour."

"It costs five medium-grade spirit stones to copy a jade slip. There are rubbing stones for copying jade slips on each floor. You can copy them by yourself. If you don't have anything important, don't bother me. It's a small business, and the spirit stones are paid in cash. No credit."

"Also remember to go to the library No loud noises, no fighting, no destruction or theft of jade slips are allowed. Those who violate this rule will be expelled from the library and will not be allowed to enter the library again within ten years. "

Ye Zhou hurriedly took out two medium-grade spirit stones and handed them over. Seeing that the middle-aged steward accepted the spirit stones and was about to start reading, Ye Zhou took the opportunity to ask: "May I ask, steward, where are the jade slips related to Dan formation in this library?"

The middle-aged steward glanced at Ye Zhou, bent his index finger and knocked on a sign on the wooden table that had no sense of existence. It was written on it: Five medium-grade spirit stones are charged for one time of pointing the way, and no bargaining is allowed.

Ye Zhou took out five more medium-grade spirit stones and handed them over. After accepting the spirit stones, the middle-aged steward uttered "Bookshelf No. 163 on the second floor" and ignored Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou turned and looked at the row of bookshelves closest to him. He saw a number carved on the top of each bookshelf. Ye Zhou walked straight to the second floor.

While searching for the location of bookshelf No. 163 on the second floor, Ye Zhou accidentally saw a familiar figure standing in the corner of the second floor. He wondered why Hou Yuan, the registered disciple of the Sixth Elder, was here?

In Ye Zhou's impression, Hou Yuan had always lived in seclusion and would never leave Wuliang Mountain unless necessary.

Hou Yuan was holding a jade slip and stood in front of a bookshelf for a long time. He seemed to be completely immersed in the jade slip and did not notice Ye Zhou's arrival.

Hou Yuan then picked for a while on the bookshelf in front of him, and took two jade slips to the rubbing stone for rubbing. Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel a little curious about the jade slips he rubbed.

After noting the location of the jade slips rubbed by Hou Yuan, Ye Zhou set off for bookshelf No. 163.

On bookshelf No. 163, Ye Zhou indeed found more than a dozen jade slips related to Jindan, and successfully learned the names of all the natural materials and treasures needed for Jindan in one of the jade slips.

Ye Zhou took this jade slip and another jade slip that recorded the natural materials and treasures needed to make the Earth Pill, and came to the rubbing stone to make rubbings. Ye Zhou was making two preparations in advance.

If he couldn't make a golden pill by then, he would at least make an earth pill.

Just as Ye Zhou was rubbing the jade slip, the middle-aged manager sitting in the corner of the first floor seemed to have sensed something. He looked up at the second floor where Ye Zhou was, and a light appeared in his eyes. He whispered: "This little guy is not simple. He actually wants to make a golden pill."

Then the middle-aged manager seemed to think of something, and shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the golden elixir is not so easy to form. Since the founding of the Spirit Beast Sect, only the founder of the sect has formed a golden elixir."

"It is difficult to form a golden elixir, and it is even more difficult to cultivate the Great Dao."

After saying that, the middle-aged manager moved his eyes to the book in front of him. He saw that the pages were blank, without any traces of ink, but the middle-aged manager did not seem to care. He continued to immerse himself in it and read with relish.

When the rubbing was completed, Ye Zhou was about to leave. He couldn't help but think of the bookshelf where Hou Yuan had just stopped. Driven by curiosity, he came to the bookshelf and found the two jade slips that Hou Yuan had rubbed.

The jade slip recorded an ancient mechanical puppet called Lingkui. According to the records in the jade slip, this mechanical puppet originated from a small sect called Lingkui Sect in ancient times.

The first head of the sect was born in a carpenter family. Because he had a superior spiritual root, he was taken in as a disciple by a passing casual cultivator.

Later, during the process of cultivation, the headmaster suddenly had an idea to carve flowers, birds, fish and animals with spiritual wood.

Perhaps it was because of his extraordinary talent, the flowers, birds, fish and animals he carved looked like living creatures. Fish could swim freely in the water, birds could spread their wings and soar into the sky, and animals could flexibly shuttle between mountains and forests.
