Chapter 46 - 46: 46: Swallowing the Heritage Jade

However, there was no hurry to practice the Body Tempering skill, as it wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.

He couldn’t randomly choose just any Body Tempering technique for his cultivation either.

Therefore, this matter required long-term planning.

“Except for my cultivation, my progress in other areas is quite satisfactory,”

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

In these three months, his skills in Runes, the Seventh-Order formation, Swordsmanship, and many others had improved significantly.

After all, once you reach the Middle Grade or higher, the cultivation progress would naturally slow down. It’s understandable, and my three companions currently are only at the higher realm.

So far, the experience gained from them was also continuously decreasing.

“Surprisingly, I managed to advance to the realm of a Mid-First-grade Array Master.”

Zhou Sui’s eyes shone with excitement as he felt waves of basic knowledge about the first-grade formation emerging from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness. All this formation knowledge came from Xia Jingyan.

It must be said, the Seventh-Order formation is definitely the most difficult of the four cultivator arts.

If you want to successfully set up a formation, you need to learn all sorts of formation nodes and calculate the best position for the setup. This requires strong computational abilities.

If it is just one formation, it’s manageable. However, there will be times when you have to set up multiple formations, which also calls for calculations to find the ideal nodes for perfect fusion between the formations. Making sure the different formations don’t interfere with each other to prevent a botched setup.

Without sufficient comprehension, it’s impossible to get started.

It’s just like mathematics, if you know it, you know it. If you don’t, you don’t. Nobody else can help.

But with the formation knowledge gained from Xia Jingyan, he was able to advance to the realm of a Middle Grade Array Master.

With his current knowledge, given enough materials, he can easily set up generic first-grade formations such as Cloud Rain Array, Spirit Gathering Array, Golden Light Defence Array, and so on.

Without a doubt, irrespective of his cultivation level, merely possessing the identity of a Middle Grade Array Master would be enough for some cultivator families to hire him as a guest to set up major arrays for them.

After all, any cultivator family needs major arrays. They are indispensable.

“However, the most important profession is still Alchemist,”

Zhou Sui’s eyes sparkled.

The so-called techniques of Seventh-Order formation, runes, artifact refining, swordsmanship and others, are all ancillary arts, used to enhance one’s combat power and survival ability.

Only alchemy allows one to craft pills that help in improving cultivation. This is the true path to immortality.

After all, without cultivation advancement, without an extended life span, no matter how strong your combat power, you’ll still end up as a pile of bones in a hundred years.

Thus, among the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, only the Alchemist holds the highest status.

“Three more months have passed, and the Lu family still hasn’t come to look for my clone. It seems that they’ve truly given up this time. Even after losing three of their kind, they’re still enduring it. It seems that the situation in the Lu family isn’t favourable.”

Zhou Sui squinted his eyes.

He was well aware of the ruthlessness of the Lu family in Misty Cloud City. The Lu family was infamous for avenging even the smallest grievances. Any cultivator who killed a member of the Lu family would undoubtedly be hunted down relentlessly.

If they didn’t have such a fearsome reputation, Misty Cloud City wouldn’t be so peaceful, as fewer cultivators would dare to act recklessly within the city.

But now, even though their family members were killed, they still dare not pursue the perpetrator out of the city.

Clearly, it wasn’t the formidable reputation that had deterred the Lu family.

Rather, the Lu family was in trouble and dared not venture out of the city.

So even if their family members were killed and the killer remained unidentified, they still dared not act rashly for fear of falling into a trap.

“If that’s the case, then I should send a Bookworm first to eat up those Alchemy Heritages.”

Zhou Sui rubbed his chin.

Anyway, he didn’t need his clone to carry back treasures. As long as the Book Worm devours the Heritage Jade Record, it would obtain the information within, posing no threat to him.

This was a perfect plan.

Even if the Lu family had some special measures left behind in the Heritage, they would be of no avail against him.

A day later, Zhou Sui’s second clone left the city. Carrying the Bookworm, it arrived at the place where the first clone was hiding.

Creak, creak-—

Seeing the Heritage Jade Record of a First-grade Alchemist, the Bookworm was excited and immediately pounced to start devouring it.

Whoosh

The next second, Zhou Sui, who was staying at home, immediately received the influx of vast heritage knowledge about the First-grade Alchemist through his connection with the Bookworm. It was like a flood rushing over him.

“So complete?!”

Zhou Sui was amazed, he felt that the Alchemy Heritage he had bought from the Lu family was worth the investment, given the enormous information contained within.

Firstly, an alchemist needs to master a myriad of knowledge. The first step is to identify herbs, spiritual medicine, understand their age, attributes etc. This alone would take an alchemist several years, even decades.

The second step is to purify the spiritual medicine, as some of them can’t be used in their entirety. Only beneficial parts are used and harmful or toxic components are discarded.

The third step is to understand the characteristics of various spiritual medicines, which one conflicts with which, and which ones can be combined.

Besides, the alchemist needs to master various methods of alchemy like fire, water, thunder, earth, and gold.

During alchemy, the heating process also needs to be regulated and monitored.

But this knowledge of Alchemy Heritage was accumulated over the years by predecessors. Without a complete heritage, there wouldn’t be such an abundance of knowledge.

Without a doubt, the thousands of Lower Grade Spiritual Stones he spent purchasing this First-grade Alchemist Heritage were definitely worth it.

Of course, the Lu family shopkeeper initially might not have wanted to disclose this complete heritage. He was trying to profit from both people and treasures, with the intention of murdering to seize treasures, only for his sent family members to be killed by Zhou Sui.

Although this sweet candy was poisonous, Zhou Sui still ate it.

He made the Lu family suffer a double loss.

“If the heritage of the First-grade Alchemist is so complete, could it be that the Lu family also has the heritage of a Second-grade Alchemist?”

Thinking of this, Zhou Sui couldn’t help but get excited.

If I could get my hands on the Lu family’s Second-grade Alchemist Heritage, I could definitely become a Second-grade Alchemist in the future, and then I would not need to depend on others. I could refine the Foundation Pill solely by myself.

He remembered the memories he obtained from those Lu family juniors. He knew clearly that the Lu family’s heritage was hidden in their Scripture Pavilion.

This Scripture Pavilion stored a large number of Heritage Jade Records that the Lu family had collected over more than two hundred years. The value of these could not even be estimated.

“Looking at the situation, it won’t be long before the Lu family falls. Perhaps when the Lu family patriarch dies, the entire Lu family will be falling apart.”

“At that time, I might seize the opportunity to attack the Lu family and seize the heritage jade records inside.”

Zhou Sui’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

He couldn’t even imagine how much comprehension he would gain if the Book Worm devours a large number of heritage jade records.

Of course, such matters still need careful planning and can’t be rushed.

If there’s no opportunity, he won’t act rashly..
