Chapter 184 - Treasures in The Valley (2/2)

“Alchemists Hu?”

This was the man who had chided at Chen Fan. His haughty and contemptuous air was gone as he knelt on the floor and shaking uncontrollably.

“Immortal Master Chen, he deserves to be put to death.” Grand Elder cupped his fist and suggested.

Everyone looked to Alchemists Hu grudgingly. If he didn’t instigate Chen Fan’s hatred toward the sect, he would have resorted to a much more peaceful way of subjugating the sect. Perhaps the innocent lives could be saved from the outset.

There and then, even the elders seemed to have forgotten their discussion about how to kill Chen Fan.

“It’s OK.” Chen Fan shook his head.

Alchemists Hu was nothing but a worm. He could have done away with him with a lazy sweep of his blade while he was fighting. There was no need to get caught up by these insignificant people.

“Hu Zhiyuan, Immortal Master Chen has forgiven you, but the Sect rule is clear and has to be followed. From now on, you will no longer be an alchemist and you are not allowed to use spells for twenty years. Do you understand that clearly?” Grand Elder announced hotly.

“I understand.” Alchemist Hu kowtowed.

Chen Fan watched the show they put on for him indifferently. However, he decided to leave it at that, after all, the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect still has some use to him. The base of the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect was located in a secluded location and it would be perfect for him to revamp it into a bastion of cultivation.

“The journey of cultivation was difficult and lonely, especially under such deprived conditions on earth. My life will be easier if I have some help.”

Chen Fan didn’t plan to teach them any real Immortal Cultivation methods, he merely wanted to further their talent in Elixir Brewing so that he wouldn’t have to brew the elixirs by himself as these alchemists should be able to handle it for him.

Afterward, King of Elixirs led Chen Fan to a building behind the temple. This was medicine storage that contained all kinds of herbs one could imagine.

“This is our medicine storage.” A smug smile appeared on King of Elixirs’s face. “These are all herbs we have collected over the centuries. Just the thousand-year-old herbs, we have half a dozen of them.

“The rule of thumb was that only a precious herb or anything that was over a few hundred years old could be brought to the storage. As for regular herbs, we have a nearly unlimited supply of them.”

Although Chen Fan had better Elixir Brewing skills than the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect, the King of Elixirs wagered that he still had a much deeper knowledge of herbs than Chen Fan.

“Very good…”

Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction.

To the King of Elixirs, these were just ingredients for making elixirs. However, to Chen Fan, this was a treasure trove. It was filled to the brim with potential. Many seemingly useless herbs in the eyes of a mortal could be quite useful to a cultivator.

He closed his eyes and drew a large gulp of air into his nose, letting the mix of herbal smells fill up his nose as he probed the room with his Immortal Will.

“Green Phoenix Fruit. Three hundred years. Not a Spirit Medicine, but its juice was an essential ingredient in creating a wind elemental talisman.”

“Thunder Stricken Wood, seven hundred years. It would be a waste to use it as an ingredient. It should be made into an artifact.”

“Vitality Sap, a thousand year old! I would never think that the earth would produce such a powerful herb! So I wouldn’t need the thousand year old Ginseng after all. With this sap, I could create the real Essence Enhancing Pill!”

As Chen Fan identified each and every herb in the room, a broad smile broke over his face.

Even elders of the sect knew nothing about many of these herbs. All they knew was that these were precious and were meant to be kept in the storage. However, Chen Fan had five hundred years of memory as a Celestial Lord, therefore, he knew all kinds of herbs from all over the universe.

Even though the herbs might be named differently on earth than other places, he was able to identify them very easily.

“So the decision to come to the Medicine G.o.d Valley Sect was right.” Chen Fan smiled.

Inside the storage, Chen Fan had found over five different varieties of Spirit Medicine similar to the Vitality Sap. Although three of them were less than a thousand-year-old, they were powerful ingredients nonetheless. Many other herbs were not Spirit Medicines, but they could be used to create talismans and artifacts.

Chen Fan even stumbled upon the precious “Spirit Beast Fruit” here.

The Spirit Beast Fruit could not used for Elixir Brewing, but it was essential for training Spirit Beasts. With enough Spirit Beast Fruits, one could even tame a Connate Spirit Beast. An Ethereal Enlightenment beast was already deadly, much less a beast of the Connate Spirit level. If such a beast was let loose on earth, no one would be able to control it.

“Wait… what is this?”

Even as Chen Fan was about to pause his Immortal Will, he felt the presence of a chunk of black wood with powerful Life Essence coursing through it.

“Is this, the Connate Spirit Wood’s Spirit Core?”

Chen Fan rounded his eyes in elation.
