Chapter 134: Nine-Illusion Heavenly Orchid and Du’e Pill
Qin Sang handed over Senior Brother Wen’s waist token and explained briefly.
"I wish to consult the sect’s collection of alchemical texts or ancient books related to spiritual herbs. I would appreciate it if Senior Brother Zhang could grant me access."
"Of course, of course…"
Senior Brother Zhang readily agreed and personally led Qin Sang toward the rear hall. The hall was divided into several side chambers, each sealed with a barrier. The arches above the doors had inscriptions for different categories: tools, talismans, arrays, alchemy, and so on. Inside each side chamber were rows of wooden shelves, giving Qin Sang a feeling similar to entering a library from his previous life.
They continued walking until they reached the innermost chamber. Senior Brother Zhang lifted the barrier on the alchemy chamber and pointed at a few rows of wooden shelves inside. "Junior Brother Qin, these ancient texts mostly pertain to spiritual herbs and alchemy, though many are based on myths and legends. You are free to browse. As for the jade slips, some contain pill recipes, while others hold alchemical insights collected by the sect. However, you can only view a portion of them—if you wish to access everything, you’ll need to pay some spirit stones."
Qin Sang stepped forward and found that most of the ancient books were dilapidated, protected only by a faint glow of spiritual energy to prevent them from deteriorating with time. There weren’t many jade slips.
In today’s world of immortal cultivation, spiritual herbs were scarce, and alchemy was in decline. Except for the Taiyi Core Sect, which specialized in alchemy, most other sects, even if they wanted to emphasize alchemy, lacked the resources to do so.
After Qin Sang voluntarily paid the spirit stones, Senior Brother Zhang nodded in satisfaction and said, "Junior Brother Qin, feel free to examine everything thoroughly. If you need anything, just call me. I won’t disturb you further."
Once Senior Brother Zhang left, Qin Sang walked over to where the jade slips were placed and began examining them one by one.
