C15 Radix Ginseng of Nine Revolutions
The next morning, Qin Yi forced the two maidservants to eat breakfast together with him. Then he chased Peach out to buy books for him while he trained in the Peony Heart Meridian s and the Three Thunder Slash Technique.
It was almost noon when Peach came back with sweat all over her face and two carriages behind her.
A dozen workers moved the boxes off the carriage one by one and moved them into a room that was about to be used as a study. Qin Yi counted more than twenty boxes. Each box contained dozens of books, totaling more than a thousand books.
"Young Master, all the books that can be bought in the city are here. All kinds are here, and they have been divided up."
Peach passed the rest of the silver to Qin Yi. Her face was flushed with excitement, as if she had completed some great matter.
Qin Yi smiled, gave some silver to the workers, and told them to leave. He gave the rest to Peach and Green.
Actually, he didn't have much silver left, so Qin Yi didn't expect to be able to buy so many books. Luckily, he didn't buy any rare books, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford two thousand taels of silver.
The two maidservants were not polite with the silver taels that they had received. They put away their money and their smile became even sweeter.
More than a thousand books. Just putting them on the shelf took three people more than two hours. Oh, this was called an hour.
After setting them up, Qin Yi went through the categories to find the books that interested him. He mainly placed them on books to record information, as well as some related to cultivation and other miscellaneous records.
There weren't many of these books. Perhaps Peach thought that he was going to take the examinations to earn a reputation and that the books he bought were mostly in the field of knowledge, leaving him speechless. If he knew earlier, he would have warned him that these books weren't what he needed and would be very expensive, wasting a lot of money.
After searching for a while, Qin Yi found a book called "Seven Stars Ephemeral Record" and started reading it with great interest.
The author of this book was a man called Yuan Qixing, who claimed to be a prodigy genius. He was able to reach the level of 'one with the world' before he was thirteen years old. However, it was stuck at this realm. It had been a full ten years since he had opened his natal acupoints, unable to advance to the Xiantian realm.
Feeling depressed, Yuan Qixing started to go out on a tour to temper his state of mind. As he walked, he recorded down the travel notes and wrote down this book.
The reason why he first read this book was because it gave a very detailed description of the surrounding mountains and valleys, as well as the distribution of powers in the cultivation world. It also contained information on some rare treasures and forbidden dangerous areas.
According to the description in the book, there were seven countries attacking from all sides of Wu State, and they were called the Seven Northern Lands. They were respectively Wu State, the State of Zhao, the Chu State, the Silvermoon State, the State of Yun Luo, the State of Chang Le, and the Tatianu State.
The sizes of the territories of these seven countries were not too different, and their strengths were similar as well. Thus, they could coexist peacefully.
As for the reason why they were called the Seven Kingdoms of the Northern Lands, it was because they occupied the northern part of the entire continent.
In the southern part of the area where the other seven nations resided, there was an endless swamp, called the Red Fog Swamp. It cut off the passage to the main continent, and it was hard for even Innate Powerhouse s to pass through it.
Looking at these general information, Qin Yi recalled the outline of the continent he was on. It turned out to be a larger island.
Of course, whatever main continent, Red Fog Swamp, and even the seven countries of the Northern Lands were too far away from the current him. What he cared about was the information regarding Wu State, and the best case scenario was that it was from the Tianshui City.
After flipping through for a while, Qin Yi felt that there wasn't anything that he cared too much about, so he decided to change the book.
"Huh?"
Just when Qin Yi was about to close the book, he suddenly noticed that there was a familiar pattern on the page. He couldn't help but stop his hands from moving.
On this page was recorded the treasure Yuan Qixing saw during an exchange meeting held by a martial artist called 'Life Essence' after travelling to the Chu State. It was said that as long as one had a breath of life left, this object could preserve the life of the injured and could also help the Martial Master break through cultivation bottlenecks. It could be called a supreme treasure.
This Life Essence was a white ball the size of a thumb's belly. It was elastic, and at that time, it was called as a occult arts. Therefore, at that time, Yuan Qi who was at the unity-stage, didn't manage to get it.
"Life essence?"
When Qin Yi saw the simple pattern on the page, he could not help but recall the white ball that Young Gang Master's maid Guan Xin gave him when they were training the Peony Heart Meridian in the small courtyard. If he was right, the two were the same thing.
This thing was actually worth a occult arts!
Qin Yi grinned, feeling that if it wasn't for the Qin Family and pressure from the Chu Family, it wouldn't be an easy task to leave from Young Gang Master after eating such a precious thing.
Although he saved Young Gang Master's life, it was unintentional. The other party used absolute arts and Life Essence, so the reward was a little too big. No one knew what Young Gang Master was thinking.
Did she really fall for him? You want to be trained as a spare man?
After Qin Yi saw the introduction of Life Essence, he had a feeling that he would encounter Lee Meiniang again in the future. This kind of feeling was tiring.
Brain pain.
….
Qin Yi stayed in the study room and read all the books until the evening. His focus was, of course, on the cultivation world, but he also read some books on learning. Since he wanted to integrate himself into this world, he had to learn a lot.
Qin Yi discovered that the cultural heritage in this world was similar to that of ancient China. Of course, it was just similar, not completely the same.
Take Wu State for example, although there was an Imperial Examinations system and the top scorers of the Proclamation of Liberation, they were all second rate experts, and the thing that caught people's attention the most were always the strong ones. A Innate Powerhouse was born, and it was much more eye-catching than an Prominent Class.
No one would remember which exam's top scorer was the top scorer, but the change in the Hidden Dragon Rank's ranking was sure to be known by the entire world!
Hidden Dragon Rank, was a list of cultivators under the age of 30 from the seven countries of the Northern Lands. It was created and released by the Fragrant Sky Pavilion, and it was not evaluated by level.
How many young cultivators were there in these seven countries? There were only three hundred of them. One could only imagine how strong these cultivators were. Those that had made it to the top were all people with astonishing battle prowess.
According to the history, those who managed to reach the Hidden Dragon Rank were almost half a step into the [Innate] realm!
Of course, there were some prodigies who had already entered the Innate Realm before the age of thirty. However, once they reached the Innate Realm, they would automatically be eliminated from the Hidden Dragon Rank and placed on the other list — — Innate Ranking!
Peach naturally wouldn't miss out on two of the top rankings and bought both of them. Qin Yi was holding onto Hidden Dragon Rank s, an exquisite three-hundred-page book.
"First place: Tian Lingyue. Princess Silvermoon State, fifteen years old, in the realm of the Ninth Empyrean of the Postnatal realm, with a Silver Moon physique … "
"Second place: Falcon. "Yun Luo's direct disciple, 19 years old, reached the 'one with the world' realm, and was acknowledged by the Golden Feather Spear, the inherited weapon of the mountain …"
"Third place: Zhao Wuya. The Chu Family disciple of the number one family in Chu State, twenty years old, in the realm of Heaven Man Unity … "
"Fourth place: Su Men's Ancient Scorching Sun. The people of the Su Clan, twenty-five years old, at the level of Heaven Man Unity, have ignited a special bloodline … "
"…"
"Tenth place: Chen Qinghe. direct disciple of Wu State, twenty-six years old, in the realm of Heaven Man Unity … "
After looking at the rankings of the top ten Hidden Dragon Rank s, Qin Yi only had one thing he wanted to say, and that was that the level of his Wu State was a bit lacking!
in total, it was the young generation of seven nations, yet their Wu State only showed up at tenth place. Silvermoon State and Cloud Luo Nation both ranked in the top ten, and they were both ranked in the top ten, how could one endure favors!
What was even more exaggerated was that the little girl who ranked first was only fifteen, and moreover, her cultivation was only in the Postnatal realm, yet her strength suppressed a group of youngsters who were Heaven Man Unity. It could be imagined how terrifying this little girl was!
Maybe this Hidden Dragon Rank was nothing, after all it was only the young generation's ranking, the real deciding factor was Innate Powerhouse.
However, Qin Yi had also just looked at the Innate Ranking. The Hierarch of the Azure Dragon Cult, Zhuge Shen Long was only ranked sixth, only one rank higher than the Chang Le Nation's Li Suyun, while the other five nations each had one rank ahead of him. However, two Innate Powerhouse s from the Kingdom of Chang Le occupied the eighth and ninth positions of the gang members one after the other.
To be able to see through everything with a single glance, it was an indisputable fact that the total strength of their Wu State was slightly lower than that of the other six nations, at least in the cultivation world.
However, these were just a few sighs from Qin Yi and passed. The strength between countries was not something he should care about. It was better to care about his own problems.
Putting down the list, Qin Yi started to look through the other books that he was interested in. Another four hours had passed and it was already midnight.
Originally, Qin Yi wanted to read it all night long, but he finally found the message he was looking for in the numerous books, so he temporarily stopped reading it.
He had found information about the Nine Revolutions gold ginseng in a book called "Treasure Wonder"!
The Nine Revolutions gold ginseng was shaped like a ginseng, its surface was golden yellow, and upon closer observation, dark red lines could be seen. It could stimulate the warrior's vital energy and blood, and quickly increase one's cultivation.
Usage: Slicing and swallowing directly.
So it was eaten directly!
Qin Yi took out the Nine Revolutions gold ginseng from the box and compared it with the pictures in the book. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he picked up his knife and cut a small piece off before throwing it into his mouth and swallowing it!
"Gulp!"
Not long after he swallowed the piece, Qin Yi heard his stomach growl and his body started to heat up. In the blink of an eye, he was covered in sweat and his skin looked like a cooked prawn.
Qin Yi felt that his blood was about to explode and a warm current was running back and forth in his body. He started to feel uneasy. He wondered if he had eaten too much and would explode if this went on.
