Chapter 190: Resolving the Petition, Weichuan's Clarity Over Ten Thousand Miles
"Nephew, what is this situation?"
Li Ye took some time to explain.
Then, he attributed some things that couldn't be shared to the Weichuan Deity.
Only then did the True Men suddenly realize.
So it was the resentment Qi accumulated by Weichuan!
That beaver was so lucky to receive the lotus treasure granted by Weichuan.
This nephew's luck is astonishingly good.
The spirit pet he's brought along is equally fortunate, though that beaver is indeed obedient and adorable.
Even they found it difficult not to feel envious; they exchanged glances and confirmed each other's thoughts – this kid's luck is too good, they had to make things difficult for him!
True Man Su spoke, "Since your beaver is here to help Weichuan purify the resentment Qi,
you should be unoccupied, right?
It's rare to see you outside, let's go to the mountain to have a detailed discussion and see how your novel inventions should be applied."
As he spoke, whether to prevent Li Ye from escaping, True Man Su also grabbed Li Ye's wrist, while the other wrist was seized by the Third Senior Brother.
True Man Su and Third Senior Brother exchanged smiles and pulled the bewildered Li Ye up the mountain, followed by a large group of Golden Core True Men.
It was practically like a kidnapping...
He was both crying and laughing:
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Don't rush, dear uncles."
"I still have things to arrange, the Weichuan Deity has other tasks for me."
Upon hearing this, True Man Su and Third Senior Brother released him.
"Come back soon."
"There are so many disciples here, let them help you more, and our inept disciples are on their way, they'll assist you soon."
Li Ye nodded.
"Alright!"
He hurriedly took the remaining four beavers, using some petroleum gathered with the Turtle Spirit Gourds, and exchanged it for four other Treasure Lotus Lamps.
Unfortunately, other beavers couldn't obtain them.
Though the other beavers had heard the five beavers recount the "Heart Lotus Suffering Relief Method" and purified the Hungry Bone, for some reason, they were unable to acquire it.
Perhaps these five Treasure Lotus Lamps were all there was.
However, he didn't mind and properly instructed the beavers to unite with their comrades to build a dam and extract the resentment Qi, then expressed his gratitude to the other disciples.
Everything settled, he ascended to the Jiezhi Array Mountain.
Then he saw... tables and chairs arranged on both sides of the road, each set of tables and chairs occupied by a Golden Core True Man. The road was long, roughly several miles.
The Golden Core True Men all looked at him with smiling faces.
But Li Ye shuddered; why were there so many, over a hundred Golden Core True Men?
He felt he needed to cultivate the Spiritual Mechanism Vine quickly, so in the future, he could allocate all such matters to the Spiritual Mechanism Vine, or else he'd be exhausted by the influx of new species.
With a bitter smile, he held the beaver and approached the first table, sitting before True Man Su.
"Here."
Su Yu directly handed him several jade scrolls.
"Look, these are the research projects I have prepared."
Li Ye picked up the jade scrolls and began reading them carefully; they concerned gourd oil and lotus pills, especially gourd oil.
They meticulously listed the medicinal properties and spiritual power constitution of some pills, pointing out gourd oil's improvements on these pills.
"..."
As he looked at the long list of spiritual power data, he felt the burden of his knowledge for the first time, for he indeed had no experience in alchemy, but unfortunately, alchemy required sufficient data support.
In a sense, it was somewhat similar to his previous life's pharmaceutical research. Though cultivators had tough skins and thick flesh, something as potentially explosive as pills naturally required utmost caution.
Safety and stability were paramount.
Su Yu looked at Li Ye's bitter expression as he flipped through the spiritual power data and earnestly began explaining.
"Look at this comparison between gourd oil and the original pill data..."
She explained in-depth yet straightforwardly, making it easy to understand.
Even though Li Ye had never delved into alchemy, he could comprehend it.
Just like that, after Li Ye's mind was crammed with alchemy knowledge and finally settled things with Uncle Master Su, he moved to the next True Man.
This was also a True Man from the Pill Hall.
She was researching a very special pill called the "Celestial Fate Pill."
"This pill primarily uses Qi Fortune Shining Gold and is refined in the Qi Fortune Array environment that Senior Brother Lu set up just now, requiring materials like Golden Red Dragon Carp scales and Lotus Pills."
"You see..."
This True Man had a gentle jade-like appearance, yet when explaining the principles to Li Ye, she was exceptionally serious and focused.
It gave a peculiar impression of facing a private school teacher.
Even Li Ye straightened up and listened attentively; this was indeed a rare opportunity. Those who came to him for new species research were none other than the elites of each hall.
To have them earnestly impart knowledge was, frankly, rarer than a Nascent Soul's lecture, not to mention that these uncles clearly had high expectations for Li Ye, offering him their all.
Though Li Ye didn't quite understand initially, he recorded everything on the jade scrolls, agreeing to seek further guidance in the future.
Thus, he moved forward one step at a time.
He sincerely studied every issue raised by each True Man.
Time flew by as the sun and moon alternated.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
During this period, he learned a lot about alchemy, artifact refining, arrays, beast taming, and Spirit Plant knowledge.
Taoist techniques were interconnected, and his comprehension wasn't bad, quick to grasp with just a bit of insight, occasionally coming up with novel ideas that made the True Men marvel.
He was earnest, studious, and smart; who wouldn't like him?
