Chapter 2568: A Visitor from Jade Perfection

The jade slips that Cheng Chongshan gave him numbered three in total.

Ye Yuan toyed with one of them and said with a smile, "Cheng Chongshan thought I couldn't open the jade slips either, so he felt at ease giving them to me. Unfortunately, he miscalculated! Though the禁制 is powerful, as long as I comprehend part of it, I can glimpse its mysteries!"

Ye Yuan's intention was not to break the禁制 but to comprehend them.

The difficulty of the two was naturally not comparable.

The禁制 in the jade slips were extremely exquisite, far beyond Ye Yuan's current understanding.

Moreover, he discovered that the禁制 techniques of Tai Ming Jade Perfection Heaven were vastly different from his own formation path.

Many subtle points had never even occurred to Ye Yuan before.

These禁制 completely opened another door for Ye Yuan, presenting a novel world before his eyes.

Only then did Ye Yuan realize he had underestimated the heroes of the world!

Tai Ming Jade Perfection Heaven was a world entirely composed of rules.

Everything here completely surpassed planes like Tongtian Realm.

The more Ye Yuan studied these禁制, the more unfathomable they seemed.

He had a feeling that the articles were naturally formed, and he had stumbled upon them by chance.

These禁制 were seamlessly natural, as if they had always been there.

One day, strands of rule power descended upon Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect my alchemy rules to be incomplete, but my formation rules have reached perfection first. This senior's formation attainments were insightful; he must have been a great figure with extraordinary talent in life! Unfortunately, he fell in the Ink Light Forest."

Ye Yuan did not mechanically copy the insights; he absorbed the essence and discarded the dross, integrating them into his own formation path.

Over the past few years, Ye Yuan's formation attainments had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had cultivated the first layer of formation rules to perfection.

Not to mention the content of the jade slips, just the禁制 alone—it had to be said that Cheng Chongshan had given him a great gift.

Ye Yuan picked up a jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

Streams of information flooded into his mind.

"The Poison Classic!"

What was recorded in this jade slip were actually methods of using poison.

The jade slip recorded a wide variety of poison techniques, extremely bizarre.

Even Ye Yuan, an expert in poison, could not help but marvel at them.

"So the poison Cheng Chongshan was afflicted with is called 'Silent Burst,' which is quite fitting. This poison can even resist experts at the无极天位 level! However, Cheng Chongshan probably doesn't know that the poison hasn't been completely removed; it has merely gone dormant again," Ye Yuan said with an ambiguous smile.

It wasn't that Ye Yuan did it deliberately, but his realm was indeed too low, and Cheng Chongshan's poisoning was too deep.

However, Ye Yuan saw no need to tell him this.

He knew Cheng Chongshan would still try to deal with him, so he might as well keep a backup plan.

The other two jade slips also excited Ye Yuan immensely.

One recorded the medicinal properties and growth habits of over a thousand heavenly herbs, along with dozens of precious pill formulas and alchemy insights.

A jade slip sealed with such solemnity naturally contained no ordinary pill formulas.

Moreover, this was merely the tip of the iceberg.

The part hidden by the禁制 was the true essence!

To Ye Yuan, this jade slip was nothing short of a treasure.

The alchemy system of Tai Ming Jade Perfection Heaven was not a direct continuation of Tongtian Realm's; it was much more diverse and extensive.

Although Ye Yuan had cultivated the basic heavenly pills to perfection, he still had a considerable gap to reach the first layer's perfection.

The celestial pills he refined were actually just laying the foundation for the Jasper Restoration Pill, a targeted cultivation.

But in reality, there were far more than twenty types of foundational celestial pills.

The burden was heavy, and the road ahead was long!

Yet this jade slip could provide Ye Yuan with immense reference value, allowing him to avoid many detours.

As for the last jade slip, it recorded several cultivation techniques and martial skills.

These three jade slips could be said to be three treasure troves!

They were probably the lifelong cultivation insights and legacy of the ancient tomb's master.

Cheng Chongshan had simply given them to him.

Ye Yuan thought it over and decided to study the "Poison Classic" first.

Cheng Chongshan would certainly not let him off easily; mastering the "Poison Classic" could often produce unexpected effects.

Ye Yuan was currently too weak, and the Tongtian Mountain could not be exposed, so he naturally had to use some extraordinary means to protect himself.

He was originally a master of poison use, so he was no stranger to this art, and learning it naturally yielded twice the results with half the effort.

However, the various poisons recorded in the "Poison Classic" and the methods and means of administering poison were truly wondrous and profound, and Ye Yuan benefited immensely from them.

...

Senior Brother Zhao! I didn't expect the sect to send you!

Seeing the expert dispatched by the sect, Cheng Chongshan was overjoyed.

Zhao Kun was one of the top ten inner disciples of Yuzhen Heavenly Sect, and his strength could almost instantly kill Cheng Chongshan.

Moreover, what made Zhao Kun most formidable was his movement technique.

With him taking action, how could Ye Yuan possibly escape?

Zhao Kun snorted coldly, "You can't even handle a small Extreme Heaven rank ascender? What a waste!"

Before Zhao Kun, Cheng Chongshan shed all his arrogance and put on a flattering smile, saying, "Senior Brother Zhao is right; this junior is incompetent! But that kid is proficient in spatial rules and is quite troublesome. Of course, I wouldn't trouble Senior Brother Zhao for nothing. Here is a small token of appreciation; please accept it."

Zhao Kun's gaze sharpened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The Luoming Huayu Celestial Pill!"

Cheng Chongshan smiled and said, "Exactly! I stumbled upon an ancient tomb in Donglin Kingdom and found something there. This celestial pill is a tribute to you, Senior Brother."

Zhao Kun squinted his eyes and sneered, "You must have obtained more than just one celestial pill, right?"

Cheng Chongshan said awkwardly, "Senior Brother is perceptive. The most important treasures from this tomb should be a few jade slips! But... they are now in Ye Yuan's hands!"

Thereupon, he briefly recounted the previous events.

Of course, in his account, Ye Yuan was naturally portrayed as the villain, using the antidote as leverage to force him to hand over the jade slips.

After hearing this, Zhao Kun snorted coldly, "What a waste! You've disgraced our Yuzhen Heavenly Sect!"

Cheng Chongshan had no choice but to repeatedly agree.

If he hadn't been forced into a corner, he wouldn't have asked the sect to send someone.

But since someone had come, he naturally had to share the benefits from the ancient tomb with the other party.

However, using Zhao Kun's hand to eliminate Ye Yuan was worth it.

"But a mere ascender being able to neutralize such a strange poison shows some skill! Cheng Chongshan, I can make a move, but you must give me another five Luoming Huayu Celestial Pills or equivalent celestial pills, and I also want those jade slips!" Zhao Kun said.

Cheng Chongshan winced in pain, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

In fact, he was overjoyed inside.

The gains from this ancient tomb far exceeded imagination!

A mere five celestial pills were within his tolerance.

Of course, he couldn't show this; instead, he had to put on a pained expression.

"Lead the way. I want to see if this ascender has three heads and six arms!" Zhao Kun said indifferently.
