Chapter 1768: The Fifth Floor of Tianlu Pavilion!

"In short, this matter is settled. If anyone utters a single word of it to outsiders, they will be killed without mercy!"

Inside Tianlu Pavilion, Xiu was murderous.

Across from him, Di Qiu was full of confusion and bewilderment.

He had never expected to receive such an order.

Deciphering "Mo Wen" was a grand event for the demon race, known to almost everyone.

But why had everything changed when it came to Ye Yuan?

"Sir, may I ask one question: why?"

Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "The intentions of the Holy Ancestor are not something you or I can fathom. We only need to obey orders."

Di Qiu had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes, Di Qiu obeys!"

After Di Qiu left, Xiu held a white light orb in his palm, his expression complex.

He gently lifted his hand, and the light orb merged into the space.

Before long, Ye Yuan's figure appeared in Tianlu Pavilion.

"Senior, you summoned me?" Ye Yuan greeted with a bow.

Xiu nodded and said, "You've been in seclusion these past days. How have your gains been?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "To be honest, the gains... are not great."

Hearing this, Xiu looked at him with a strange expression.

No matter who it was, as long as they didn't die in "Mo Wen," they would gain something.

Some people, after coming out, would make rapid progress in alchemy, even becoming the best in a city.

This depended on one's talent.

The elders of Bayuan Imperial City had all gone through "Mo Wen."

After all, "Mo Wen" contained the Dao of the Medicine Ancestor and the Holy Ancestor's Great Priest, two top alchemy masters of the Tongtian Realm!

Yet Ye Yuan said he had gained little.

This was too discouraging!

When Ye Yuan said he had gained little, it wasn't because he was slow-witted, but because his strength was too great.

The Dao contained in "Mo Wen" simply couldn't provide Ye Yuan with much insight.

Still, over these days, Ye Yuan had learned quite a bit from "Mo Wen."

After all, those two were top experts of the Tongtian Realm.

"Senior Xiu, don't look at me like that. You should be able to tell that 'Mo Wen' doesn't have much effect on me," Ye Yuan said with a smile, seeing Xiu's expression.

Over this long period, Ye Yuan had come to understand Xiu's alchemy strength to some extent.

Although Xiu had never shown it in front of him, just his insights alone far surpassed those of the elders.

He should be able to see that Ye Yuan's strength had already far exceeded the level of "Mo Wen."

Xiu sighed and said, "I know that, but hearing it still makes me want to punch you."

Ye Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Senior, you didn't call me here just to hit me, did you?"

Xiu smiled and said, "You've passed the trial of 'Mo Wen.' From now on, all floors of Tianlu Pavilion are open to you at any time. Especially the fifth floor—I believe there are things there that will interest you!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Senior, are you serious?"

Over the past half year, Ye Yuan had stayed on the first three floors, and he had almost digested the texts there.

Even the third floor was only accessible because Xiu had opened a back door for him.

That was a place where only elders could enter.

As for the fourth floor, even though Ye Yuan had a good relationship with Xiu, the latter refused to open this back door.

He hadn't expected that after passing 'Mo Wen', there would be such benefits.

Even Xiu wouldn't let him in, which meant the texts on the fourth floor and above were undoubtedly extremely precious.

Such things were probably only accessible to someone at the level of the Hall Master.

Ye Yuan hadn't even known that Tianlu Pavilion had a fifth floor!

Now, not only could Ye Yuan enter the fourth floor, but he could also enter the fifth floor, which he had never heard of. How could he not be overjoyed?

Xiu smiled and said, 'Would I lie to you? Go ahead!'

Without another word, Ye Yuan went straight up to the fourth floor.

Watching Ye Yuan's departing figure, Xiu shook his head and said, 'This kid, he didn't even mention becoming my disciple. How many people in this world want to become a disciple of the Saint Ancestor, but he... seems utterly indifferent to it!'

...

'Cloud-Peak Heavenly Rainbow Pill! This... isn't this the Supreme Jade Void Pill of the demon race?'

'And these alchemy techniques are all extremely rare treasures!'

'And these methods of demonic guidance are truly exquisite!'

...

Ye Yuan lingered on the fourth floor, examining the texts, exclaiming in admiration repeatedly.

Although the texts on the fourth floor were far fewer in number than those below, they were clearly on a much higher level.

With Ye Yuan's insight, he could naturally tell that these texts were probably among the most precious of the demon race.

Although these texts were used by strong practitioners at the fourth or fifth level of the Divine Path, they were undoubtedly extremely valuable.

If these texts were among the human race, they would never be shown to others easily.

Ye Yuan's achievements today were largely due to the inheritance of Xian Lin.

Although he had long since surpassed his teacher, the significance of the pill formulas and alchemy techniques left by Xian Lin to Ye Yuan needed no elaboration.

Clearly, among the demon race, these things were equally priceless.

After browsing through the texts on the fourth floor, Ye Yuan eagerly entered the fifth floor.

He was very curious to see what could be even more precious than the texts on the fourth floor!

The fifth floor space was empty, with only a white light sphere quietly floating in the air.

Filled with curiosity, Ye Yuan pressed his palm against it.

Buzz!

In an instant, countless pieces of information flooded into Ye Yuan's mind.

'This... is this the inheritance of the Saint Ancestor High Priest?'

Ye Yuan's mind shook violently, and he quickly realized what this vast amount of information was.

'But... this inheritance doesn't seem to contain his insights into the Dao; instead, it's the most fundamental things of the demon race. Could it be...'

Among this inheritance were explanations of the medicinal properties of countless herbs, detailed interpretations of alchemy techniques, and the supreme methods of demonic guidance.

Although the content overlapped with what was below, it was a completely different concept!

These things were the lifelong insights into the Dao of Alchemy of a peak alchemist!

For an alchemist to attain the Great Dao, they must forge their own path.

Like Ye Yuan, even with the inheritance of Xian Lin the Celestial Venerable, he still carved out his own path in the Dao of Alchemy.

And the inheritance of the Saint Ancestor High Priest was clearly far more advanced than that of Xian Lin the Celestial Venerable!

The two were not even on the same level.

In an instant, Ye Yuan seemed to understand something.

A faint smile curled at the corner of Ye Yuan's mouth, and he said, 'What a bold Saint Ancestor High Priest! He wants me to grow and become his opponent, thereby spurring himself to break through his shackles! It seems that this game of "Mo Wen" is not at all what the world thinks! What he seeks is someone who can shatter his will, not a pawn in his hand! Hmph, I'm afraid even the Medicine Ancestor couldn't have imagined that the Saint Ancestor High Priest would have such boldness! Perhaps, in the future, he might truly become a second Medicine Ancestor!'
