The main force of Feng Qian Guo suffered heavy casualties in the battle at Spirit City, which significantly reduced the pressure on the Izumo Kingdom. Although many cities had not yet been reclaimed and the situation remained stalemated with Feng Qian Guo, it was no longer as urgent.
After about half a month, Ling Mo Xie finally emerged from the Alchemy Room with a large batch of Elixirs.
For Cultivators, half a month is just a blink of an eye; even an ordinary Alchemist might take that long to refine a single batch of Elixir.
Therefore, when the Izumo King learned that Ling Mo Xie had quickly brought out a large quantity of Elixirs from the Alchemy Room, he was naturally incredulous. He couldn't wait to see Ling Mo Xie and rushed to meet him without even sending for him.
Ling Mo Xie was also preparing to pay his respects to the king when they ran into each other on the way. They found a palace to sit down and talk slowly.
"Did you really refine all the Elixirs? How many did you make? It can't just be one batch, right?" The Izumo King asked Ling Mo Xie eagerly, his face filled with disbelief and urgency.
"How could that be false? Of course, it’s not just one batch!" Ling Mo Xie replied somewhat displeased at the king's skepticism, and directly took out a Storage Ring and tossed it to the Izumo King.
"Take a look; this is the Elixir I refined. There are tens of thousands here, which should be enough for the soldiers."
At this moment, the Izumo King could no longer hide his excitement. He quickly used his spiritual power to probe into the ring and found it filled with Elixirs! Indeed, it was packed with Elixirs! Ha ha!
The Izumo King was thrilled; this was great news for the Izumo Kingdom. With these Elixirs, driving back Feng Qian Guo was practically guaranteed.
He knew the effects of the Fury Pill produced by Ling Mo Xie, which had received high praise from Elder Feng. Although he didn’t understand why Elder Feng remained stationed at Skywind City for so long, he knew that Elder Feng was not only highly skilled but also an exceptional Alchemist. Since Elder Feng valued the Fury Pill so much, it spoke volumes about its effectiveness.
"Ding! Congratulations! You have completed the Elixir Master Task. The Task Reward has been issued; please check your inventory."
As Ling Mo Xie handed over the Elixirs to the Izumo King, he also heard the System's notification sound in his ear—the Task was complete.
Even without this Task, Ling Mo Xie would have refined Elixirs for the Izumo Kingdom. Moreover, thanks to this Task's notification, he had already upgraded his Alchemical Furnace, which was a great reward for him. Therefore, he wasn't particularly anxious about this Task's reward.
Perhaps I am just that easily satisfied?
However, with the Reward, it is impossible not to take a look. Ling Mo Xie calmly glanced into his backpack, where the Seven Divine Pills and the Return Token of the Daoist Sect were quietly resting.
The Return Token of the Daoist Sect was easy to understand, but Ling Mo Xie was somewhat puzzled about what the Seven Divine Pills were. He decided to use the Detection Skill to check on the Seven Divine Pills.
The Seven Divine Pills emitted a purple glow, clearly indicating they were high-quality items. The Detection Skill managed to reveal the name of the Seven Divine Pills, leaving Ling Mo Xie speechless. He could only repeatedly use the Detection Skill on the Seven Divine Pills, hoping to uncover more information.
After obtaining the Elixir, Izumo King was excited and exchanged a few words with Ling Mo Xie. He tossed a Royal Token to Ling Mo Xie, saying it would allow him free access to any place in the Palace, including the Library. Then, he hurried off, leaving Ling Mo Xie alone to ponder over his Seven Divine Pills.
Back in his room in the Palace, Ling Mo Xie had no idea how many times he had used the Detection Skill on the Seven Divine Pills. All he managed to get was the name of the item—oh no! At least he now knew it was of Purple Quality.
With no other options, Ling Mo Xie had to temporarily give up. He opened the Title Panel, which displayed two lonely titles. The title of Elixir Master was blue and better than the previous title of A Good Person. Without hesitation, he switched to the title of Elixir Master.
After changing his title, the System provided a prompt: “Ding! Congratulations! Title change successful. Your current title is ‘Elixir Master’, granting you Life Skills, specifically for identifying Elixirs.”
“Life Skills?” The expression on Ling Mo Xie's face stiffened. After having obtained the System for so long, he realized he hadn’t even figured out its functions, and now there were Life Skills that he didn’t know about!
He quickly opened the Skill Panel. Among a series of combat skills, he found the words “Life Skills” prominently displayed. Below it were many empty skill slots, with only the first slot showing a white-glowing hand icon above an icon resembling an Elixir. This should be the skill for identifying Elixirs.
“Elixir Master, it makes sense that an Elixir Master can identify an Elixir. No wonder...” murmured Ling Mo Xie.
Since he had acquired this skill, it was time to give it a try!
Suddenly feeling enthusiastic again, he wondered if this identification skill would work since the Detection Skill had no effect on the Seven Divine Pills.
Ling Mo Xie decisively used the Elixir identification skill on the Seven Divine Pills. Perhaps due to the low Level of the current Elixir identification skill, he was unable to identify anything useful, only increasing his skill proficiency by fifty points.
With no other choice, Ling Mo Xie continued to use the Elixir identification skill on the Seven Divine Pills, and his proficiency steadily rose. Soon, it reached level two, and the proficiency was full. He should have been able to upgrade to level three, but the System prompted that to upgrade the Elixir identification skill to level three, he needed the title of Alchemist Master.
With no other options, Ling Mo Xie prepared to use the Elixir identification one last time on the Seven Divine Pills. Regardless of whether he identified anything or not, he would head to the Royal Library to find information about Azure Cloud Valley.
This time, it was unclear whether it was sheer luck or if heaven felt Ling Mo Xie's deep frustration, but he finally identified the Seven Divine Pills.
Seven Divine Pills: Ninth-Level Pill. Elixir Ingredients: Seven Divine Flowers, Jiao Long Blood, Earth Vein Essence, Heavenly One Divine Water, Southern Wilderness Divine Wood Branch, Wuji Shengsheng Fruit...
Elixir Effect: This pill harnesses the powers of Heaven and Earth, Universe and Cosmos, seizing the creation of sun and moon. It can merge seven skills into one, breaking through the limitations of the Cultivation World, and producing a high-level Celestial Grade Skill that surpasses Purple Grade!
"This... isn't this just a skill fusion?" Ling Mo Xie was speechless; based on the description, it seemed impressive!
However, giving up seven skills for one was uncertain in terms of gain or loss. After all, at this moment, Ling Mo Xie did not know how powerful celestial-grade skills were. He only knew that celestial-grade was just one tier above Purple Grade!
By the way, the Daoist Order Decree is also celestial-grade!
Not having decided which skills to fuse for now, Ling Mo Xie could only temporarily set aside the matter of the Seven Divine Pills and walked toward outside the Palace.
The Royal Library was not within the Palace, but rather independent from it, guarded by dedicated personnel. At this moment, that was where Ling Mo Xie intended to go.
Although called a loft, the Royal Library actually resembled a treasure pagoda with six sides and seven levels. The top level housed royal secret texts and spells, while the other floors mostly contained miscellaneous items and undisclosed secrets of the continent. Those secrets had not been verified; their authenticity could only be judged by oneself.
Ling Mo Xie had no interest in the Royal Secret Arts. What intrigued him were those undisclosed secrets of the continent; most likely, information about Azure Cloud Valley was among them.
The Royal Library is located in the capital city, to the southeast of the Palace, surrounded by bustling streets. Outside the Library, armored soldiers stand guard, and passersby dare not look too long.
However, those soldiers are merely for show; the real guardians are the esteemed figures of the royal family. No one knows how many there are or what their abilities entail. Historically, whenever the Izumo Kingdom faced the threat of annihilation and enemies approached the capital, anyone who dared to attack the Library would be driven out by the next day. Yet, for some reason, these royal experts have never provided more assistance to the Izumo Kingdom.
Ling Mo Xie stood before the Library, not entering immediately but gazing at it instead. This drew a sharp reprimand from the soldiers: "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is a royal site; do you think a commoner like you can linger here? Leave at once!"
Ling Mo Xie rubbed his nose; it seemed his fame wasn't high enough, as these soldiers didn't recognize him.
What he didn't realize was that under the influence of the Taoist Sect, many beyond just those in the Izumo Kingdom knew of his reputation. Rumors about him circulated throughout half of the Cultivation World, varying in impact, but few knew his appearance. Thus, it was quite normal for them to not recognize him upon meeting.
Well then, Ling Mo Xie wasn't inclined to argue with these soldiers. He directly took out the token given to him by the Izumo King and said, "Is this sufficient? I want to enter!"
Upon seeing Ling Mo Xie's token, the soldier's expression changed. He glanced nervously at Ling Mo Xie, cold sweat pouring down his face. This young man certainly didn't look like someone of noble status, which is why he had dared to scold him earlier. Now that he had produced His Majesty's token... what if he were to blame him?
Ling Mo Xie observed the soldier's changing expression and sighed inwardly; it was clear that he was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. If he had been dressed in fine clothes with an air of extravagance, even lingering a bit longer outside the Library would likely have gone unchallenged.
However, this was a matter for the royal family; Ling Mo Xie had no intention of blaming this soldier. He simply pushed past him and walked inside.
The soldier was momentarily stunned before he let out a long sigh of relief—was everything alright now?
Upon entering the Library, what greeted him was a dense array of bookshelves. The first floor seemed even more spacious than he had imagined, neatly lined with countless books. It resembled libraries from his previous life but was much quieter and even more expansive.
However, looking at so many books made Ling Mo Xie feel troubled. There were so many books on just this first floor alone! Although cultivators have exceptional memory and can read through texts quickly, finishing all these would still be no easy feat—especially since this was only the first floor!
