Chapter 800: Chapter 735: The Nine-Star Method (Part 2)

In the courtyard, Madam Yun brought some snacks.

"Life now is much more abundant than before. Try the new dish that Cailing’Er came up with.

I find the texture a bit mushy, but the child insists this is how it should taste good."

Madam Yun wore a slight smile on her face.

Even though we moved here from Great Wei, being able to live with close people means there’s nothing more to yearn for.

Shen Han tasted a bite; indeed, it was tough to chew, like an unbreakable beef tendon.

"Eating it adds a bit of amusement~"

Shen Han’s comment fortunately wasn’t heard by Cailing’Er, or she would have been disheartened.

Although it was hard to chew, Shen Han finished off the whole bowl.

After putting down the bowl, Shen Han’s expression turned slightly serious.

"I received some news from my uncle some days ago."

"Where is my elder brother? Is he alright?"

Madam Yun instantly became agitated upon hearing this.

"It is said he’s in Chaomu Mountain, but those probing for information haven’t acquired precise details yet."

"That’s alright; as long as there’s news, it’s already good enough... good enough..."

Yun Shuang initially appeared slightly disappointed, but was soon overshadowed by relief.

At least, some news has arrived.

Before this, she had to consider her elder brother as already gone.

"I will keep uncle’s whereabouts in mind."

Shen Han looked at Yun Shuang, a hint of determination in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yun Shuang nodded her head.

She didn’t say much more; currently, Yun Mansion has just escaped a crisis.

No one has had a few days of peace, so Yun Shuang doesn’t wish to burden Shen Han with too much pressure.

One wave has just settled, another trouble arises; no one is made of steel and iron; fatigue will set in.

Resting for a few days in the residence.

Currently, to improve one’s strength the primary focus is accumulation, with daily cultivation leading to accumulation.

To make rapid advancements, it would require a tremendous opportunity.

Shen Han didn’t feel anxious; now both Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak have stabilized.

Everyone’s safety need not be worried about.

Elsewhere, You Wanying, after being assassinated in such a manner, is unlikely to dare flaunt around carelessly.

Meanwhile, his assassination during the Tianjiao gathering showcased his strength to all.

Anyone considering aiding Tiger Peak Manor against him must carefully consider.

Even an Illusion Realm expert was injured by him, let alone others.

Those daring to provoke, even if their experts have the courage, must assess if their sect juniors can withstand it.

During the days of rest, Shen Han received news delivered from Elder Sizhi.

Elder Sizhi expressed some difficulty; the news could be acquired, but it required some interest exchange for the spies to hand it over...

Upon hearing this, Shen Han remembered when talking with Elder Sizhi earlier.

He mentioned hiring people to investigate.

It seems this person investigating the news isn’t from Five Immortals City.

"What does this senior want?

Please, Elder Sizhi, do indicate clearly. This junior will strive to attain it."

Exchanging news for treasures is quite normal, Shen Han could understand.

However, what would make Elder Sizhi feel troubled may be because what’s wanted is quite challenging.

"If it’s usual stuff, I’d have offered it. But this time they request something exceedingly difficult to acquire.

I’ve spoken to them, but they insisted on compensation due to injury during this investigation..."

Elder Sizhi hesitated, thought for a while before continuing.

"Shen Han, do you know Qilin Valley?"

A somewhat familiar name, Shen Han had seen this name during his reading of ancient texts.

Three special places in Southern Heaven Continent: Chaomu Mountain, Qilin Valley, Sword Mountain.

Qilin Valley is one such place, unique in being a gathering place for Pill Masters.

The medical art and pill practices of Qilin Valley constitute an independent system, distinct from the mainstream medicine-refining system in Southern Heaven Continent.

Their methods of pill-making differ vastly from other Pill Masters outside.

The pills they refine are even categorized differently from the outside world.

"Typically, we classify pills into Upper, Middle, and Lower Grades for distinction.

However, Qilin Valley divides pills by Nine Stars Technique.

Peng, Rui, Chong, Assist, Qin, Xin, Zhu, Ren, Hero.

The lowest-grade pill is called Peng Star Pill, while the highest-grade pill is known as Hero Star Pill.

And this time, they want us to provide an Assist Star Purifying Heart Pill before handing over the information..."

Elder Sizhi’s tone was full of difficulty.

It wasn’t unexpected; this pill is likely quite troublesome.

"Can Qilin Valley’s pills be exchanged with other treasures?"

"Yes, they can. But it’s not so easy...

To exchange for their pill, you must wait for Qilin Valley to post notices.

Listing out what items they need, what quality of pill to exchange for.

In the continent, there are at least forty to fifty thousand people seeking pills from Qilin Valley.

Not a few people are also waiting for the valley’s pills to save lives.

Often when a notice is posted, others have already offered treasures, exchanged for pills.

For ordinary people, it’s often about holding rare treasures but finding no clear path for acquiring a pill they want...

Shen Han knowingly nodded.

For those desperate for life-saving meds, wealth and treasures become mere external possessions.

As long as Qilin Valley Pill Masters don’t ask for excessive demands, their requests would be swiftly fulfilled.

Elder Sizhi also understood he can’t only tell Shen Han how difficult it was.

He needed to provide some possible solutions.

"Besides exchanging with treasures, there’s another method: going to Qilin Valley to learn and comprehend.

Though this process is not easy, few can truly learn...

Upon hearing Elder Sizhi’s words, Shen Han frowned, thought for a moment then spoke: "Can anyone go to Qilin Valley to seek education?"

"Certainly, it isn’t that straightforward; however, I know someone who might introduce you.

Yet it’s not easy even if you manage to enter Qilin Valley.

Helping out daily and participating in periodic tests is essential.

If one lacks sufficient understanding of Qilin Valley’s pill techniques and fails the tests, leaving is inevitable.

Possibly ending up with no gain after considerable efforts."

"If possible, I would like to visit and explore Qilin Valley."

Shen Han was currently stuck in a bottleneck, making upgrades not so simple.

Visiting Qilin Valley for training could bring certain inspiration.

Even if there’s minimal advancement in cultivation, gaining in pill-making skills is valuable.

By imparting learned pill techniques to his grandfather and family, the pill expertise of Yun Family could certainly advance further.

Hearing Shen Han’s intention, Elder Sizhi seemed to want to say something, paused, then refrained.

He merely instructed Shen Han to meet him before departure for some face-to-face instructions.

In Qilin Valley, no martial arts are practiced.

Though Shen Han wasn’t much acquainted with Qilin Valley, he had read about this rule in books.

Qilin Valley gathers Pill Masters, and here, no one within its Law Enforcement Institute is allowed to engage in combat.

If anyone gets reckless, not just the Law Enforcement Institute, others are willing to step in to stop them.

Better yet, earning contribution points by doing so.

Shen Han mentioned this matter to everyone, merely stating he was going to Qilin Valley for training.

He didn’t reveal his uncle’s issue.

As of now, it’s just beginning, everything remains uncertain.

Saying so would just needlessly concern others.

After spending several leisurely days cultivating with Shi Yuezhu, Shen Han went to Snowfield City to meet Elder Sizhi.

They met in a tea shop.

Upon meeting, Elder Sizhi handed over an object.

Seemingly a wood carving.

"Shen Han, once you arrive at Qilin Valley, you may find a master in the valley with this carving.

I’ve informed him, he should offer some guidance to you.

Having saved him back in the day, I certainly incurred significant costs.

He ought to reciprocate with this small favor.

However, once in Qilin Valley, everything rests on yourself.

Additionally, you’d best adopt another name, attend using a different identity.

You’ve stirred quite a scene in Southern Heaven Continent, Qilin Valley probably knows of your name.

With a new name, plus practicing the Old Method, it should be enough to mask your identity."

After imparting these details, Elder Sizhi further introduced more about the internal factions within Qilin Valley, alongside aspects to heed.

Plenty have gone to Qilin Valley, but most undergo tough experiences within.
