I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 190 - 154: Buying Pill Recipes

Huang Ting was meditating in his quiet chamber when he suddenly felt an intense and silent pressure enveloping him, a pressure that was very peculiar, not at all like ordinary pressure.

Huang Ting immediately opened his eyes, got up, and walked to the window to look outside. In the clear blue sky, a golden Life Star astonishingly hovered above the clouds of West Qi Mountain Temple.

The figure exuding a commanding presence on the Life Star was exceptionally dazzling.

"How could it be you!" Huang Ting instantly reacted and hurriedly tried to avert his gaze, but it was too late. His eyes immediately stung, and two streams of blood tears gushed from them.

He quickly covered his eyes, reached into his arms to retrieve two leaves, and stuck them over his eyes, finally stopping the bleeding.

"How did this Life Star appear at West Qi Mountain Temple!" Huang Ting said in shock as he closed the window.

Previously, when observing the night sky, that golden glow was always hovering over Cyan Yang City, indicating that the person of the Life Star was still in Cyan Yang City. But now the Life Star appeared at West Qi Mountain Temple, doesn’t this mean...

That person has arrived here?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, a knock came from outside the room.

"Master, I have something to report to you."

"Come in." Huang Ting removed the leaves and sat back in his spot.

The door opened, and Daoist Qingfeng entered the room.

"What is it?" Huang Ting asked expressionlessly.

"Master, Young Master Qin from the Qin family in Cyan Yang City has just come to our temple as a guest. He said he wants to purchase some alchemical formulas from us."

"Young Master Qin from the Qin family?!" Huang Ting’s face showed a trace of surprise: "Was he the only outsider to visit our temple today?"

"Yes." Daoist Qingfeng nodded.

"So, it’s him..." Huang Ting immediately stood up from the meditation mat: "Take me to see him, I will discuss this matter with him."

"Yes."

When Qin Yuesheng saw Huang Ting come out of the room, he immediately reached out to greet him.

"Master Huang."

"Young Master Qin." Huang Ting returned the greeting.

As a person of the Life Star, he is destined not to be ordinary, his future immeasurable. Unless someone is a natural enemy, no one would choose to offend a person of the Life Star; they would only choose to form good relations.

"Does Young Master Qin wish to purchase alchemical formulas from our West Qi Mountain Temple?"

"Indeed, Master Huang, I know that alchemical formulas are confidential to anyone, but I am truly passionate about alchemy. I sincerely hope Master Huang could sell me one or two formulas so I can understand a bit about the Alchemy Dao." Qin Yuesheng cupped his hands courteously.

Huang Ting looked at the young man in front of him and then uneasily glanced at the heavens before slowly saying: "Alchemical formulas are confidential. If anyone else made this request, I certainly would refuse. But when I first laid eyes on you, Young Master Qin, I felt we were destined. This matter, Young Master Qin, I can agree to."

Qin Yuesheng was delighted: "Thank you; how many formulas can you sell me, and how much silver? Master Huang, please feel free to say."

"I am willing to give you three alchemical formulas, no silver needed. Matters of fate should not be entangled with mundane things, only requiring Young Master Qin to do me a favor, and once accomplished, I will present the three alchemical formulas to you." Huang Ting said.

"No money?" Qin Yuesheng hesitated.

Free things are traditionally either poor in quality or come with hidden traps. If Huang Ting took his money, Qin Yuesheng would feel more at ease, but since the other party intended to give it for free, Qin Yuesheng became cautious, wondering what this person was truly planning.

"Yes, Young Master Qin is destined with our West Qi Mountain Temple; the alchemical formulas are a gift to you. I ask for not a single cent."

Qin Yuesheng hesitated: "Is there something you need my assistance with?"

Huang Ting chuckled: "Not at all, Young Master Qin, you are overthinking it."

A Favor!

Qin Yuesheng was startled, realizing this man certainly wanted him to owe a favor. To Qin Yuesheng, he’d rather owe money than a favor, for a favor is the heaviest of debts.

"Master Huang, I never casually accept others’ gifts. Either I pay, or I help you with something. Please choose one for me to do; otherwise, even if I take the alchemical formulas, I won’t have peace of mind, so I’d rather not take them."

"Young Master Qin, you are indeed cautious. Very well, then you can assist this poor Daoist with a task." Huang Ting lightly smiled: "Behind West Qi Mountain Temple, there is an underground cavern. Two hundred years ago, it was part of the earth’s meridian here, constantly leaking Evil Qi, easily breeding malevolent spirits.

To prevent these spirits from escaping and causing harm, our temple has dedicated personnel guarding the entrance of the underground cavern. However, this is merely a temporary remedy. Since Young Master Qin wishes to exchange labor for goods, I implore you to join a few of our temple’s senior disciples and carry a sealing Magical Artifact into the cavern to seal that earth meridian, would that be acceptable?"

"I can do that."

Daoist Qingfeng looked at Qin Yuesheng, then at Huang Ting, puzzled, and scratched his head but said nothing more.

"Qingfeng, lead Young Master Qin to the back mountain. Once the earth meridian is sealed, choose three alchemical formulas for Young Master Qin."

"Yes, Master."

Under Daoist Qingfeng’s guidance, Qin Yuesheng followed him toward the back mountain. Along the way, of course, Qin Yuesheng didn’t forget to ask about matters related to the earth meridian, and Daoist Qingfeng answered each question in detail.

The earth meridian, also known as the Earth Evil Spirit Yin Meridian, is a type of sinister land.

Back then, thirteen Great Ghost Venerables emerged from it, and after the Yellow Dragon Dao Sect exhausted all its efforts to eradicate the Great Ghost Venerables’ forces, the remnants of the Yellow Dragon Dao Sect established West Qi Mountain Temple on this Earth Evil Spirit Yin Meridian to suppress it and prevent any dangerous spirits from being born again from the earth meridian.
