Chapter 15: I Want It

Yi Qianmo only told them that during his thirteen years with the Yu family, besides being a furnace, he would take some pills every day and learned some alchemy methods.

This was not really deceiving them; when he was Yu Youwei’s furnace, he not only took some precious herbs but also swallowed some pills to strengthen his body.

However, strengthening his body was just to help him generate the Nine Yang energy for Yu Youwei to practice with.

Since there was still a glimmer of hope, Yi Danian could only take a chance and let Yi Lingyu take him to the family’s Secret Warehouse to choose materials himself.

After the two siblings left, Yi Danian called Yi Tianyang over and said, "Go get ready. Once the major families join forces and come, take Qianmo and Lingyu and leave."

"Dad, what are you talking about… Didn’t Qianmo say he would practice alchemy?" Yi Tianyang asked in confusion.

"Alchemy?"

Yi Danian smiled and said, "Qianmo is such a strong child, just like your brother. Do you really believe such things he makes up?"

Yi Tianyang finally understood. When Yi Qianmo returned, he rescued the family from danger with such a powerful method, especially by killing Lei He, which made Yi Tianyang feel a sense of admiration.

Thinking carefully now, a martial artist with damaged vital channels is almost certainly doomed, unless a celestial being intervenes. Although Yu Youwei has entered the realm of celestial beings, the Yu family is not a celestial family. How could they possibly create a medicine to repair the vital channels?

"I was blinded."

Yi Tianyang sighed, "But can we really leave?"

"We just killed Lei He and drove back the Lei family. The Yi family is at its peak now; who would think we want to escape?"

Yi Danian said, "You should go, take Qianmo and leave. It’s best… if you never come back."

"Father, you…" Yi Tianyang clenched his fist, feeling very unwilling.

But Yi Danian had made up his mind, and even he could do nothing about it.

Meanwhile, Yi Lingyu took Yi Qianmo to the Yi family’s Secret Warehouse, a place where important items of the Yi family were stored, built underground.

Holding Yi Danian’s key to enter the Secret Warehouse, they saw several tall shelves inside, filled with books, antiques, and weapons, along with some rare herbs.

Yi Qianmo glanced around and his eyes immediately fell on the herbs on the shelves. Although the Yi family had kept a low profile all these years, they had collected many precious herbs.

However, after just a brief look, Yi Qianmo instantly showed a disappointed expression because these herbs, though they seemed valuable, contained no spirit Qi at all; they were all ordinary items.

"Isn’t there anything else?" Yi Qianmo asked.

"Aren’t these herbs good?" Yi Lingyu said, "These are all over a hundred years old. Many are so precious that grandpa didn’t want to use them and said he wanted to save them for you."

Yi Qianmo patted her head and said, "These herbs are all dried out, losing their essence. Even if they are over a hundred years old, they can’t be made into medicine. They might be somewhat useful for ordinary people."

"Ah…"

Yi Lingyu looked surprised. "Isn’t that a waste? Also, brother… do you really want to make medicine? But we don’t have a Pill Furnace! That belongs to the immortals."

"Not having a Pill Furnace isn’t the end of the world, it’s just a bit troublesome. But… if we don’t have any special herbs…"

Yi Qianmo stroked his chin; a clever woman can’t cook without rice.

Just then, Yi Lingyu thought of something and said, "Brother, I know a place that might have what you need."

"Where is it?"

Yi Qianmo asked.

"In the city market, they have all sorts of strange things, and especially many herbs. Lots of herbalists sell the medicine they pick from the mountains in the market."

Yi Lingyu said, "But…"

"But we just killed Lei He, and the families are watching us. We can’t leave at all, right?"

Yi Qianmo said with a smile.

Seeing Yi Lingyu nod, Yi Qianmo continued, "Let’s go to the market now."

"Ah… but…"

Yi Lingyu was full of worry.

But Yi Qianmo had already taken her hand and left the Secret Warehouse.

An hour later, Yi Qianmo brought his sister to the market in Green Cloud City.

"The son-in-law of the Yu family has returned to the Yi family. It is said that he has mastered the Great Yi Sword Technique and even defeated Lei Yuhu."

"Hehe, it’s not just Lei Yuhu. Three members of the Lei family tried to take revenge, but they didn’t expect the Yi family to be so well-hidden; they actually have a master."

"That master is the head of the Yi family, but what truly frightens the Lei family is that son-in-law of the Yu family; he actually defeated a master with his lower-level power!"

"How could someone kill a master warrior the day after tomorrow? Who died?"

"The one who died is Lei He, the eldest son of the Lei family. He was a master warrior. It is said that the son-in-law learned the Great Yi Sword Technique. The Yu family has been training him for many years!"

Just two hours later, the news about what happened in the Yi family spread throughout Green Cloud City. Everywhere people were talking about the battle in the Yi family.

Yi Lingyu walked out nervously because she knew that Yi Qianmo had just killed a master warrior from the Lei family. If the Lei family came for revenge now, her brother alone could not possibly stop them.

But Yi Qianmo was carefree. Even though he had used the Sword Pill’s power in the fight with Lei He and spent all his energy, he remained unafraid.

"The things sold in this market are truly diverse!"

Yi Qianmo and Yi Lingyu were wandering around the market.

There were hardly any people around who recognized him; not to mention him, even very few people knew Yi Lingyu, as the Yi family was not a major family.

Moreover, Yi Qianmo had spent thirteen years in the Yu family’s dungeon, in complete darkness, so even the Yu family had few people who knew him.

So, the people around them did not know that the pale-looking young man in front of them was the son-in-law they were talking about.

"Yes, this is the largest market in Green Cloud City, managed by the three big families, with the Yu family having the largest share. All the trade in Green Cloud City can only happen in the market."

Seeing that nobody around recognized her brother, Yi Lingyu finally felt much more at ease.

"Let’s go to the Medicine Market."

Yi Qianmo had no intention of delaying any further.

Then, Yi Lingyu led him into the Medicine Market, which had many shops, including a shop from the Yi family.

However, Yi Qianmo was not interested in the herbs sold in these shops. The herbs were all dried, and even if they contained spirit Qi, they had long lost their essence; they were just common things.

In contrast, he was very interested in the herbs sold by the herbalists at the stalls, but after walking around, he did not find a single herb containing spirit Qi.

Nevertheless, he still bought some herbs, as he was not making elixirs for immortals but rather gathering ingredients for the gathering Qi pills used by martial artists.

This is a special pill that refines true energy in the body, allowing it to gather into a tangible form that can be released.

The hardest part of moving from acquired to innate is transforming true energy into Innate True Qi, and condensing Innate True Qi is the most important step for a martial artist in this process.

However, this gathering pill is not truly a celestial pill; it’s at most close to one.

Nevertheless, the herbs he bought can only be used as auxiliary medicine; he still lacks a main herb, which must contain spirit Qi.

As he walked around and felt very disappointed, he noticed a herbalist entering the market in the distance, and Yi Qianmo’s eyes immediately focused on him.

The herbalist placed his basket on the ground, took out the herbs, and started doing business.

Yi Qianmo’s gaze fell on one particular herb; it looked very ordinary, but he sensed the presence of spirit Qi within it.

He quickly walked over and asked, "How much do you sell this herb for?"

Before the herbalist could respond, another figure suddenly appeared beside him, pointing at the herb and saying, "I want this herb!"
