Chapter 18 - BECAUSE I AM OLD ALCHEMIST

Xu Yuan sat on his bed very quietly while playing a game on his mobile device.

These few days, Xu Yuan was bored. There was no excitement like the previous days.

Xu's family condition was much better, and Gu Jian was temporarily sent home to his parents because Xu Yuan no longer needed Gu Jian to protect him.

After Xu Yuan was bored with his cell phone, he got up, intending to go to the family library.

He was not very familiar with the Xu family tree, so he needed some knowledge to broaden his horizons.

When he was traveling, everyone saw him bowing respectfully. After all, Xu Yuan was no longer a powerless Young Master but a peerless Young Master.

Being 14 years old and already at the 9th level of the Nativity stage was truly terrifying. Only Xu Yuan could make that happen.

For a noble's child, it is usually only at the level of Xu Huo, the 7th level of the Birth stage. Still, unfortunately, Xu Huo's cultivation has been destroyed by Xu Yuan.

After a while of walking, Xu Yuan finally arrived at his destination, the Xu family library.

There weren't many people there. Although anyone could enter it, most Xu family members preferred to focus on cultivation training rather than insight knowledge.

Whereas according to Xu Yuan, cultivation alone would not be enough to make one reach the peak, knowledge was also the key to pursuing the peak of the world.

Without knowledge, everyone will be stupid and not insightful, ethical, or logical.

Xu Yuan needed many aspects to achieve immortality in the future and explore the universe with his power. Or maybe he could even return to Earth and meet close relatives in his previous life.

He entered the library's door and saw countless bookshelves lined up neatly like a group of soldiers of war.

There were many books between the shelves, from glossy to dusty ones. Everything is there.

Xu Yuan browsed through each of his books, and he found nothing interesting. Among the many glossy books, the average content was only novels or poetry collections that he thought were cheap, and there were no literary works.

Until his eyes fell on the book in the corner of the shelf to his right, dusty and very worn, but somehow the book seemed interesting to him.

The paper that was originally white turned yellow with brush writing that had started to fade.

He could read the title, and the book was called 'Heavenly History.'

Xu Yuan muttered, "Heavenly History? It looks interesting!"

He opened the book's cover and saw one Chinese character that gave him chills, 'Death.'

The first page that he opened only displayed the word Xu Yuan confused. What does 'Death' mean in this book?

Until he opened the second page of the book, and on the next paper, the word 'Rasa' confused him even more.

Xu Yuan frowned. Where is the history? The title and content are completely different!

Xu Yuan called out to the system with a low sigh, "System, analyze this book!"

[The book has been analyzed. Master is holding the Heavenly Book, the Ancient Grade Combat Art, which can make the user immortal. However, the Heavenly Book is already very outdated and damaged. If the master wants to repair it, the master needs to obtain an Ancient-grade Inscription Writer, Golden Crow Purgatory, Nine Reincarnation Lotus, and 100 Crystal Apple Seeds.]

Xu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard the system's explanation. Ancient tier Fighting Arts had never appeared in the entire continent or even in the Cultivator World.

But how could this powerful Fighting Art be placed in the Xu family's library? The Xu family library only contained a few historical insights or a few literary works. Why is there fighting art here?

When the system explained the uses and benefits of the Heavenly Book in his hands, he trembled with fear. Being immortal just because of a Fighting Art was a shortcut to the top of the world.

But the book in his hand was completely damaged and couldn't be repaired manually.

He had to search for some of the items mentioned by the system, but they were complicated. It was even possible to say they didn't exist in this world.

Ancient Inscription Writer? If it were in the Cultivator Realm, then that person would have to be the ruler of the Cultivator World. Even the Emperor would have to submit to his orders.

Golden Crow Purgatory? It's like what he reads in some fantasy novels. The Golden Crow Sacred Flame was a Divine existence in the land of cultivators. To obtain it, one must at least be at the Monarch stage, which is higher and rarer than a Saint existence.

The Nine Reincarnation Lotus? Xu Yuan could even guarantee that there were no God-level herbs in the Cultivator World. Even if there were, the Nine Reincarnation Lotus couldn't be obtained just like that. The Nine Reincarnation Lotus was a sacred plant that would only fight or submit to its master.

If we can subdue it, then the sacred plant will be ours, but if not, we will have to defeat it with our soul power. But that's impossible, and there's only a 1:1 trillion chance.

The last time the Nine Reincarnation Lotus was subdued was several million years ago, and it was subdued by the Saint Huang God who had governed space and time, the yin and yang elements of the entire universe.

100 Crystal Apple Seeds? It's like a joke to him. The Crystal Apple Seed would only grow within the Divine Apple, whose tree was a plant even rarer than the Nine Reincarnation Lotus.

If an ordinary human ate that Divine Apple, then that person would within 999 days become an immortal existence and become a cultivator at the Monarch stage.

The tree's growth will only grow after 100,000 years of cultivation and produce only one fruit and one crystal seed.

If Xu Yuan obtained one Divine Apple tree, he would have to wait for 10 billion years to obtain 100 Crystal Apple Seeds.

"Just an art book alone makes me sigh in annoyance. To perfect an Ancient-level Art was absolutely no possibility. Even I can think that this Heavenly Book is just crap in the Xu family, just trash!"

Even though the Heavenly Book was an Ancient-level Fighting Art, it was impossible to refine it.

It was possible that if the Main Empire in the Cultivator World held the Heavenly Book, then the success rate would increase, but maybe from 100%, there was only a 5-10% chance.

But since Xu Yuan was also interested in the Heavenly Book, he had already decided to take the Heavenly Book with him.

Xu Yuan put the book into the system inventory. He deliberately entered it into the system so that no one else could steal it.

The system inventory itself can only store 128 types of objects with a total capacity of up to 5 million capacities. Of course, his system storage could be increased, but he needed to contribute to the system by several tens of thousands of exchange points, and Xu Yuan didn't want to waste a lot of exchange points to expand his storage.

However, after Xu Yuan had been in the library for quite a while, suddenly, a middle-aged man approached him with an exhausted face.

"Young master! The elder of the Tang family has come and intends to attack us! They wanted the alchemist Gu Li to be transferred to the Tang family. How is this Young Master? Whereas Alchemist Gu Li himself is not in the Xu family!"

The middle-aged man was Xu He, who reported the situation near the Xu family's shop.

Xu Yuan, who heard Xu He's explanation, just smiled calmly, "Senior Xu calm down… Alchemist Gu Li will never agree to follow the family or even antagonize the Tang family, so don't worry…." Because I am that Old Alchemist…
