Chapter 1817: Hundred Beasts Pill Recipe

Ye Bufan settled down at Cangfeng Academy, and the next step was to wait for the final ranking competition selection.

However, there was still some time until then, and the most urgent task was to improve his strength as much as possible.

Otherwise, with his current cultivation at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, he would not be able to qualify for the ranking competition, let alone suppress many Geniuses and win first place.

He had now figured out the situation at Cangfeng Academy, which mainly consisted of four departments: Law Enforcement Hall, Library, Fire Spirit Tower, and Teaching Hall.

As a formal student, one could go to the Law Enforcement Hall to choose a Cultivation Technique and a Martial Skill, to the Library to consult books and Materials, to the Fire Spirit Tower to Cultivate, and to the Teaching Hall to study.

As the inheritor of the Dragon King Palace, his Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill were of a much higher Rank than those of Cangfeng Academy, so he naturally had no interest in the Law Enforcement Hall.

As for the Teaching Hall and the Fire Spirit Tower, there was no need for them for the time being. The only thing that could pique his interest was the Library. Going there to look around might allow him to find other methods to restore his Mental Energy.

Jiang Fangzhou immediately took his student token to the Law Enforcement Hall, while he walked alone towards the Library.

As the largest academy in the Cangfeng Empire, the Library here was also grand and magnificent, with as many as nine floors, appearing ancient and atmospheric.

Moreover, the surrounding Formation fluctuations were dense, indicating that the defenses here were extremely strict, preventing outsiders from entering to steal precious classics.

Ye Bufan walked to the door and showed his student token.

The person at the door was an old man with white hair and beard, whose cultivation was surprisingly at the Soul Transformation Stage.

He took the token, glanced at it, and pointed to the notice board on the wall: “New student, are you? Read the rules carefully before entering.”

“Oh!”

Ye Bufan nodded and turned his head to look at the wall.

Cangfeng Academy’s Library naturally had its own management regulations, and the clauses written on it were very detailed.

Outer Courtyard students could only enter below the third floor with their tokens, Middle Courtyard students could enter the fourth to sixth floors, and only Inner Courtyard students on the Heaven Ranking had the right to access Materials above the seventh floor.

As for other regulations, they were similar to modern libraries, basically prohibiting loud noises and such.

As for the viewing time, due to the special status of Cultivators, it didn't matter if they didn't sleep or rest for several days and nights, so there were no restrictions at all.

Ye Bufan was slightly disappointed, but three floors would have to do for now; he would check it out first.

He stepped into the Library, and only after entering did he realize how vast it was. The collection of books was simply as vast as the sea, endless, and countless.

“Uh…”

Seeing so many books, he immediately felt a headache. There were probably tens of thousands of volumes.

Fortunately, the books here were managed in an extremely orderly manner, with very clear classifications, making it somewhat easier to search.

Ye Bufan began to wander around here. To search quickly, he only looked at the titles. If he was interested in the specific content, he would flip through it, which made the speed much faster.

He did not go to the Law Enforcement Hall because he was very clear that Cultivation Techniques that could restore Mental Energy cultivation were extremely rare, and Cangfeng Academy probably didn't even have any. Even if they did, it would be impossible to place them there for ordinary students to Cultivate.

So he came directly here to see if he could find some overlooked items, which might lead to unexpected gains.

But the result disappointed him. After looking for a long time, there were indeed some relevant records about Cultivation Techniques here, and also some Cultivator’s cultivation insights, but there was not a single one about Mental Energy methods.

He walked through the entire area where Cultivation Techniques were recorded, sifting through tens of thousands of books, but still found nothing.

He continued walking forward, arriving at the area where Cultivation Techniques and Medicinal Pills were recorded.

Since he couldn't find the corresponding Mental Energy methods, it would be good if he could find some ancient Pill Formulas or the like. Thinking of this, he began to search again.

He looked at these medical aspects in much more detail, but unfortunately, the final result was still disappointment. Compared to the Medical skill of the Ancient Medical Sect Legacy, these medical books on the Kunlun Continent were far inferior.

Moreover, this was the lower three floors of the Library, which only contained some basic classics, and high-end Medical skill were not here.

Finally, he patiently finished reading the books here, but in the end, he still found nothing.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, his gaze suddenly caught sight of a yellow-covered booklet in the corner of the bookshelf.

This book looked tattered, and its placement was too hidden. If he hadn't happened to see it, it would have been very difficult to discover.

For some reason, he just felt that this yellow-covered booklet was unusual, and he reached out and took it into his hand.

The outside was already old and dilapidated, without a single word. After opening it, dark yellow paper was revealed inside, with four ancient characters written on it—Hundred Beast Pill Formula.

Ye Bufan's interest was piqued, and he continued to open it. Inside, he saw various Pill Formulas, but these Medicinal Pills were not for humans, but for Demonic Beasts.

Based on his current understanding of the Kunlun Continent, Alchemists were definitely an extremely rare profession, even having become independent from the Traditional Chinese Medicine system.

If someone knew Alchemy, they would be sought after by all forces wherever they went.

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

The status was incredibly high.

Precisely because of this, there weren't enough Alchemists to refine Medicinal Pills for humans, so how could anyone refine Medicinal Pills for Yao Beasts?

No wonder this Pill Formula was so disregarded, simply thrown in a corner, unheeded.

This kind of book was useless to those who couldn't do Alchemy, and those who could do Alchemy were too busy refining for Cultivators, so how could they do such a thankless task?

Ye Bufan, however, had a slight interest. Since he had nothing else to do for now, he might as well take a good look at this Pill Formula.

When he was in Wild Wolf Valley, he had given the Golden-haired Wolf King a Yuanyang Pill. Although it was also helpful for Yao Beasts, it certainly couldn't be compared to specially refined Medicinal Pills, and its effect was much weaker.

Moreover, the Materials for refining Medicinal Pills for humans were expensive. Thus, not only would the effect be greatly reduced, but it would also be a waste.

He flipped through it page by page, and the more he read, the more astonished he became. This book recorded Medicinal Pills that could help Yao Beasts of all Ranks improve their cultivation, from Materials to refining methods, all recorded in extremely detailed fashion.

One must know that a Yao Beast reaching the tenth Rank, the highest Rank, was an existence comparable to a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert.

Being able to help Yao Beasts improve their Rank, this Pill Formula, if it fell into the hands of someone with intentions, would definitely be priceless, or more precisely, an invaluable treasure.

With an excited heart, he continued to flip through it, and when he reached the last page, he felt something was amiss.

This was a blank page, but it was slightly thicker than the other pages. His Divine Sense swept over it, and there was actually a small slip of paper夹 inside.

He gently cut open the page and took out the small slip of paper from inside, seeing three words written on it—Epiphyllum Pill.

Ye Bufan looked closely and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart. This was not a Pill Formula for Yao Beasts, but for humans.

Looking further down, his breathing instantly became rapid, and his heart was incomparably excited.

It turned out that this was a Medicinal Pill that could rapidly increase one's Mental Energy in a short period of time, but the duration was very short, like a flash in the pan, hence it was called Epiphyllum Pill.

This Pill Formula was useless to others. A short-term increase in Mental Energy would not have much impact on cultivation.

But for him, it was an invaluable treasure. As long as his Mental Energy could be improved, his cultivation could quickly return to its previous level.

Although the time was very short, it could save his life at crucial moments.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and directly put the yellow-covered booklet and this Pill Formula into the Dragon King Palace.
