Chapter 564: The Heavenly Book and Shennong's Pharmacopoeia

The strong confidence in Wu Yan's tone and his cold eyes made Ma Ming shrink slightly, and his pupils tightened. He laughed dryly and said, "Don't worry, brother Wu, I'll save it. Let's go in together. At that time, I will give you the island master's order first. Exchange it for the heavenly book first, and then exchange it for other things."

Wu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, City Lord Ma, with my points, after exchanging for the heavenly book, there will be 160,000 points left, which should be enough to exchange for a good secret treasure for City Lord Ma."

Ma Ming's face was happy when he heard this. The two discussed last night, and Wu Yan kept his mouth shut and did not reveal what the remaining points would be exchanged for. It seems that the three heavenly books are very important to Wu Yan, otherwise he would not be so nervous, and even would not hesitate to turn against himself.

However, speaking of this, Ma Ming was a little puzzled. According to his understanding, it seems that the three heavenly books are not as magical as the legend says.

The four major sects have exchanged copies of these three heavenly books, but I have never heard of any sect's research results. On the contrary, the rumors he heard privately about these three heavenly books seemed to be nothing good.

It is said that after the four major sects exchanged these three heavenly books, they seemed to have achieved little results after a long period of research. In the four major sects, many senior officials have complained more than once that they seem to have lost a lot in exchange for these three heavenly books. It seems that most of the exercises recorded in the heavenly books cannot be practiced, and even some exercises that can be practiced are not as powerful as the exercises of the major sects currently circulating in Xumi Sea.

And judging from the ancient books passed down by his Ma family, these three heavenly books did have a great reputation in the Tianzhou Continent in ancient times, and they were the highest secret books of the three major cultivation holy places. However, after all, these exercises were popular in ancient times and may not be suitable for the present.

Moreover, with the continuous development of the world of immortal cultivation, the cultivators have already exhausted all kinds of changes in their research on cultivation techniques. Even with this as a basis, they still cannot thoroughly study most of the techniques in the three great heavenly books. In this case, I am afraid that the techniques recorded in them are really not suitable for the cultivators of the current world of immortal cultivation to practice.

Unfortunately, Ma Ming could not know Wu Yan's fate, so he naturally did not understand why Wu Yan was so enthusiastic about the three great heavenly books. Since Wu Yan has the Dao Yan Lu and this outline, if he studies the three great heavenly books again, he may have another great harvest and great opportunity.

"Brother Wu, I would like to say that the four major sects have exchanged for these three great heavenly books, but I have never heard of any results from the research of the four major sects since I lived to this day. Do you really intend to give up the last chance to open the Sutra Hall and the treasure house, and exchange this copy of the heavenly book that is like waste at such a high price?" Ma Ming said unwillingly.

"Lord Ma, you don't need to say more. I have my own thoughts. Whether it is useful or not, only I can know after I have seen it myself. Besides, I exchanged this copy not only for the skills contained in it. I am very interested in the rumors and skills of the ancient times, and I want to peek into some ancient mysteries from these three heavenly books." Wu Yan said calmly.

If it weren't for the fact that they were both Tianzhou cultivators and his admiration for Ma Xiaoxianzu, Wu Yan would not bother to say more to the villain in front of him. He was fed up with this villain. If it weren't for these reasons, he would even want to find a chance to lead this villain out of Liehai City and kill him quietly.

After the two entered the Sutra Hall, they went straight to the bookshelf where the three classic heavenly books were collected.

Looking at the three forbidden light balls floating on the top of the bookshelf, Wu Yan glanced at Ma Ming, then took out the island master's order, raised his hand and placed the island master's order on the forbidden light ball that contained the "Tianyan Daodejing".

Immediately, Wu Yan followed a series of complicated procedures and spent several moments to finally get the copy of the heavenly book, a total of ten purple jade slips.

After collecting the ten jade slips, Wu Yan stared at Ma Ming and handed him the island master order in his hand.

Ma Ming understood and knew that it was useless to say more. He immediately took out his own island master order and exchanged it with Wu Yan. He went straight to the treasure house on the lower level with a sullen look.

After Wu Yan took Ma Ming's island master order, just like taking the copy of the "Tian Yan Dao De Jing" before, he began to follow a series of complicated procedures and put this order on the forbidden light ball that contained the "Netherworld Earth Emperor Canon".

…

Half an hour later, Wu Yan collected the ten purple jade slips of the "Netherworld Earth Emperor Canon" and the ten purple jade slips of the "Sage Dao Heavenly Book", and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, all those who came in to exchange for treasures realized the seriousness of the problem. Therefore, the monks who entered the Sutra Hall and the Hunting Sea Treasure House paid great attention to the selection of reward items. They would never take action easily, but wandered around the Sutra Hall and the Hunting Sea Treasure House to check them repeatedly.

Most of the forbidden techniques and books in the Sutra Hall, like these three heavenly books, belong to the techniques circulated in the ancient prehistoric period, and are not suitable for the current cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, most of these techniques have drifted here from the Tianzhou Continent. For the cultivators here, the attraction of these techniques does not seem to be strong.

At this time, there were only a dozen people wandering in front of the bookshelves in the entire Sutra Hall. These people looked at the various forbidden light balls on the bookshelves, gritted their teeth and pondered, revealing an expression of difficulty in making a decision.

After a quick look, Wu Yan found that these people were all entering the Sutra Hall for the first time. They were obviously attracted by the dazzling names of various martial arts books floating on the bookshelves in the forbidden light balls in the Sutra Hall and were reluctant to leave.

Wu Yan didn't pay much attention to these people. The one with the highest cultivation among them was only in the middle stage of Jindan, and there was nothing worth his attention.

As for the others, they must have gone to the treasure house of Liehai to shop.

Wu Yan knew about the collections in the Sutra Hall and Liehai Treasure House as early as ten years ago. This time when he returned to Liehai City, his primary goal was these three heavenly books.

He had a very clear understanding of his current state. His practice of the Five Elements Sword Art had reached the state of great perfection in the late stage of Jindan, but he had not sensed the signs of condensing the infant, which was very telling.

Obviously, he had encountered a bottleneck in his practice.

The reason why the Holy Demon Clone Art was able to break through the realm so easily was certainly related to the cave he chose for cultivation and the practice of the Nixue Sutra. In fact, the deeper reason was that he had opened 365 magic orifices one step earlier.

During the nine years of closed-door cultivation, Wu Yan once again carefully sorted out the key points of breaking through the barriers recorded in the Five Elements Sword Classic, and finally found a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough.

This Five Elements Sword Classic was originally a martial arts book handed down from the ancient prehistoric period, and it was also an authentic five-element martial arts. Strictly speaking, it was not suitable for the current cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. The reason why Wu Yan was able to make a big breakthrough in this martial arts was largely because he had the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

When he was in the Tianzhou Continent Cultivation Sect, he cultivated a large number of spiritual medicines and herbs with the immortal green soil and moonlight spirit liquid collected by the Heaven and Earth Furnace. In his usual cultivation, he mostly relied on the pills refined by these spiritual herbs, which enabled him to break through quickly.

At the beginning, before Wu Yan joined the Five Elements Peak of the Xiuzhen Sect, the three brothers, who were known as the "three arrogant, treacherous and stupid", had a very slow growth rate in their cultivation realm. After entering the sect, Wu Yan broke through the foundation-building realm in a few years and reached the middle stage of foundation-building in one fell swoop, but the three brothers had spent nearly a hundred years to practice from the early stage of foundation-building to the middle stage of foundation-building.

This in itself can well explain the problem that the Five Elements Sword Classic is not suitable for the current situation. If Wu Yan had not later refined the elixir with the spiritual herbs he cultivated and shared it with the three brothers, the three brothers would probably have no chance to break through the realm and condense the golden elixir.

Now, in the past few years of seclusion and hard training, Wu Yan has worked hard to practice and swallowed a lot of pills. In nine years, he has practiced from the middle stage of Jindan to the late stage of Jindan. However, he has no pills for subsequent practice. In addition, the method of practicing the Five Elements Sword Art is very different from the general practice. As a result, he has finally encountered a bottleneck again. If he wants to break through the realm, he may only find a breakthrough from the ancient practice and pills.

Moreover, Xuan Yazi also practiced the authentic Five Elements practice, and it has reached a bottleneck at this time. However, Xuan Yazi feels that his life is coming to an end, and he seems to have given up the plan to break through the realm. At this time, he has put all his energy on the establishment of Xuan Daoism and the teaching of his eight disciples.

Wu Yan does not want Xuan Yazi to give up the breakthrough. Such talents are rare in a thousand years. What's more, Wu Yan has few people he can trust in this Xumi Sea. If even Xuan Yazi lets go, he will definitely leave him with endless regrets.

When he returns to Tianzhou in the future, he will need the help of a senior brother like Xuan Yazi who is trustworthy and reliable, to help him revive the reputation of Baoxiao Sect in Tianzhou.

Wu Yan did not rush to leave the Sutra Hall, but walked towards other bookshelves.

Ten years ago, he sneaked into the Sutra Hall with the Undead Sky Devouring Worm and spied on all the books of martial arts collected here. He remembered that there was an ancient book called "Shennong Pharmacopoeia" which was collected on one of the bookshelves.

This ancient book is a treasure book that was circulated in ancient times to identify various spiritual medicines and poisonous herbs and to refine various ancient elixirs. Unfortunately, at the end of the ancient times, the world was in chaos, and the spiritual lands of Tianzhou collapsed, so that many spiritual herbs and medicines became extinct, and this treasure book also lost its value and was shelved.

Walking to the bookshelf where the Shennong Pharmacopoeia was collected, Wu Yan looked up and saw a yellowed grass-colored ancient book floating quietly in the forbidden light ball. On the cover, there were four simple bird seal characters from the ancient period. This kind of bird seal characters is almost extinct in the world. I think the characters recorded in it should also be the ancient bird seal characters.

In order to study various ancient elixir recipes, Wu Yan had studied and memorized various ancient characters, and he knew a lot of this ancient bird seal characters.

"The ancient spiritual herb elixir book requires 20,000 hunting sea merit points to exchange..."

On the bookshelf next to this treasure book, there was a line of characters engraved, briefly introducing the conditions for exchanging this ancient book. These introductory words did not even mention the name of this ancient book, which shows how little attention this ancient book has received.

Wu Yan pondered for a moment, then took out Ma Ming's island master order and placed it directly on the forbidden light ball.
