Xie Mingjin waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. In any case, these recipes are merely being wasted here.You can make copies and help promote them to new glories.”

He Yiming blankly stared before saying, “How can they be wasted here?”

“Of course, they are being wasted. This time in the forest, you also saw how ferocious spiritual beasts are. Would you imagine how many people are killing spiritual beasts and obtaining inner cores like you?” Xie Mingjin sighed and said, “Our Xie family toiled hard for thousands of years and collected so many books, containing more than a hundred ways to refine the cores of spiritual beasts. However, we may not be able to perform a single refining throughout several decades. In your hands, these techniques would have much more chance to be used.”

He Yiming thought for a few moments, eventually admitting that the former’s words were quite reasonable.

However, copying the cla.s.sified arts of the counterpart’s own family in front of him…..He Yiming had encountered such an affair for the first time and felt quite apologetic inwardly.

If Xie Mingjin had not been so benevolent and had made He Yiming note down the recipes later, relying on his memory, He Yiming wouldn’t have felt any burden in his mind at all. However, stealthily bringing pen and paper const.i.tuted a whole different story.

Lightly sighing, He Yiming eventually made his decision. He profoundly glanced at Xie Mingjin before extending his hand and saying, “All right, I will accept your kindness.”

Xie Mingjin put the brush and papers on the table and left. Distantly, he saw Xie Grace outside the courtyard. He nodded at his father with a faint smile. The latter turned around and left.

Although Xie Mingjin’s guts were quite big, how could he have brought pen and papers for He Yiming without the consent from clan elders?

Even though he’d spoken the truth and these recipes seemed to be quite precious, under a severe lack of supplies of inner cores, they didn’t hold much practical value. However, even if they were like chicken ribs, he couldn’t distribute them out at his will.

However, since these were his father’s orders, he was happy to oblige. He understood that this was his father enabling him to do a favour. That way, the recipient of the return-favour would not be the clan, but he himself.

Despite his character not suited to become the clan leader, he was no fool. He could clearly see through these matters.

After two days, He Yiming eventually left the ‘Gold Core’ chamber.

He carefully examined the books Xie Mingjin had selected and copied down more than a hundred gold core refining techniques. He discovered that all these techniques required inner cores of spiritual beasts, some of which had extremely harsh requirements of spiritual beasts’ age and species.

However, the uses of these gold cores was beyond the reach of Houtian realm cultivators. These gold cores could only be consumed by Xiantian realm cultivators. If a Houtian realm cultivator were to consume them, what awaited him wouldn’t be a boost in Internal Energy, but death due to body exploding.

He Yiming was quite confident in himself. Since he believed he would surely step into Xiantian realm, he copied down these recipes as well.

Subsequently, he casually flipped through other books in the bookcases and discovered that although their content differed somewhat, the majority of it was covered by the few books Xie Mingjin had selected for him.

As far as gold core recipes were concerned, one could safely a.s.sume that these few books were the most valuable books in the whole chamber.

At this point, his grat.i.tude for Xie Mingjin further increased.

In these two days, n.o.body brought him food. This was because everybody knew that he was a tenth layer expert. Not to mention two days, even if he were to not eat and drink for several days, he wouldn’t have any trouble.

When he left the chamber, a servant immediately notified Xie Mingjin.

“Brother He, you have finished?” Xie Mingjin deliberately asked in an emphasized tone.

“Yes,” He Yiming faintly nodded, showing an understanding smile.

The two walked out of the courtyard alongside each other when Xie Mingjin lightly sighed and said, “Brother He, I didn’t expect you would be this quick. If I had known earlier, I would have selected a few more books for you.”
