After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 176 A great harvest

Seeing that Lin Xitong remained motionless, Ye Xiaobai finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the side, breathing heavily. After catching his breath a few times, Ye Xiaobai immediately took out a pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and began to recover.

Liu Rumei was in much better condition. After all, she was a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, and after a short period of rest, she began cleaning up the battlefield.

They quickly found the treasures in the Five Elements Venerable's Secret Realm, and Liu Rumei was overjoyed. This time, she had made a great haul.

Seeing that Ye Xiaobai was still keeping his eyes closed and quietly recovering his spiritual power, Liu Rumei could only choose to protect him from the side.

Half an hour later, Ye Xiaobai's spiritual energy had recovered to about 60%, and it was time for him to leave.

Then, Ye Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes and saw Liu Rumei idly studying the properties of spiritual herbs beside him. He said softly, "Fairy, not only are you exceptionally talented, but you are also more diligent than the average person! You don't forget to study the properties of spiritual herbs even when you're out and about!"

"How are you recovering?" Liu Rumei asked with concern, completely ignoring Ye Xiaobai's praise.

"That's about it!" Ye Xiaobai said calmly, then looked as if he wanted to say something more but hesitated.

Liu Rumei immediately understood that this kid was after the treasure on Lin Xitong's body!

With this in mind, Liu Rumei was not in a hurry and continued to leisurely study the spiritual herbs in her hands.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaobai was speechless. Lin Xitong had been dealt with, and it seemed that the treasure was already in hand, but Liu Rumei was not talking about dividing the treasure.

This time, Ye Xiaobai suffered heavy losses, damaging all the fifth-tier puppets and one sixth-tier puppet. The value of the lost puppets alone exceeded one million spirit stones.

Ye Xiaobai realized that this was probably the most serious loss he had ever suffered since he began cultivating immortality.

Seeing that Liu Rumei remained silent for a long time, Ye Xiaobai finally couldn't help but ask, "Fairy Liu, have you obtained the Five Elements Venerable's treasure?"

"I got it, and I'm studying it right now," Liu Ru said without even raising her eyebrows.

"Weren't you researching spiritual herbs? What treasure did you obtain?" Ye Xiaobai asked eagerly.

"It's just the alchemy insights of the Five Elements Venerable. I'm currently studying this Schisandra chinensis plant according to the methods described in the insights!" Liu Rumei said excitedly.

"What? It's actually the Five Elements Venerable's alchemy insights!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise. The Five Elements Venerable was a top expert from hundreds of years ago, versed in alchemy, puppetry, and formations—a true polymath!

If Ye Xiaobai, as an alchemist, could obtain the alchemy insights of the Five Elements Venerable, his alchemy skills would definitely reach a new level.

Ye Xiaobai was incredibly eager to learn about this rare alchemy technique.

"Fairy Liu, you took advantage of my weakness and hogged the treasure for yourself. How heartless of you!" Ye Xiaobai finally couldn't help but rebuke.

"Oh, Fellow Daoist Ye has quite a temper, huh? Do you want to make a move?" Liu Rumei mocked directly, and then assumed a fighting stance.

"You..." Ye Xiaobai was speechless. Although he was angry, he knew he had no chance of winning if he fought Liu Rumei now.

"Alright, I'm not kidding anymore. Didn't I leave you the Five Elements Venerable's insights on formations?" Liu Rumei smiled and tossed a jade slip to him.

Ye Xiaobai used his divine sense to confirm that it was actually the Five Elements Venerable's array formation insights.

However, Ye Xiaobai is an alchemist, and his knowledge of formations is limited to using formations made by others; he is practically a complete novice in the field.

To master the art of formations requires decades of study and research, and Ye Xiaobai doesn't currently have that much time to do so.

"Fairy Liu, as you know, I am an alchemist, and alchemy insights are extremely important to me. Could you exchange my array formation insights for alchemy insights?" Ye Xiaobai asked cautiously.

"Of course not! I'm also an alchemist, and my alchemy experience is very important to me!" Liu Rumei directly rejected Ye Xiaobai's suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai was immediately disappointed. He couldn't beat them in a fight, and he couldn't reason with them, so he could only consider finding other forms of compensation.

"Fairy Liu, I lost puppets worth millions in this battle! Aren't you going to offer some compensation?" Ye Xiaobai stated the facts directly, hoping that Fairy Liu would at least have some sympathy.

"I know you've put in a lot of effort this time! I've also given you the old man's storage bag. I checked, and it contains about a million spirit stones, not to mention some other unknown magical treasures!" Liu Rumei said, sounding slightly impatient.

"Fairy Liu, you are truly generous!" After taking the storage bag from Lin Xitong and briefly examining it with his divine sense, Ye Xiaobai immediately felt he had gained a great deal.

However, thinking of those few Schisandra berries that were hundreds of years old, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but ask, "Fairy Liu, those Schisandra berries..."

Before Ye Xiaobai could finish speaking, Liu Rumei angrily retorted, "Ye Xiaobai, are you never going to stop? Forget about Schisandra chinensis!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai was stunned and speechless. He could only lament his lack of strength and how he had to rely on others' attitudes when it came to sharing benefits.

A moment later, Ye Xiaobai could only helplessly stand aside and examine his harvest.

Some spirit stones, a few unknown magical treasures, and the Five Elements Venerable's insights into formations—overall, the harvest was quite plentiful.

Oh right, there's also the treasure box I got earlier. Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai immediately took out the treasure box he obtained in the Five Elements Venerable Secret Realm.

Opening the treasure box revealed a jade slip. Upon examining it with his divine sense, he discovered it was the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique, a legendary Earth-rank technique. Ye Xiaobai was immediately shocked and stopped examining it, wanting to find a quiet place to study it properly.

Seeing Ye Xiaobai's startled reaction, Liu Rumei assumed it was because he had seen the spirit stones in the storage bag. Of course, she didn't know that Ye Xiaobai had obtained a Earth-rank cultivation technique; otherwise, she might have used her cultivation level to threaten him.

"Ye Xiaobai, you've rested enough, haven't you? Let's head to the Myriad Pill Workshop in the market together!" Liu Rumei said, seeing that it was about time.

"Fairy Liu, this is not right of you. The elders of Qingxia Sect are still waiting for us to refine the Five Blessings Poison-Clearing Pill!" Ye Xiaobai did not want to get too involved in the affairs of Miaodan Workshop.

"You little brat, Ye Xiaobai, all you did was give me some insights into formations, and you're already so resentful? Are you still thinking about that Sun Siyu, Fellow Daoist Sun?" Liu Rumei teased him, clearly displeased.

"Fairy Liu is joking. The purpose of my trip to Yue Kingdom is to refine the Five Blessings Poison-Clearing Pill for Fellow Daoist Sun's master."

"Really? Didn't we agree to go to Miao Dan Fang first?"

"We've already delayed our journey to the Five Elements Venerable's Secret Realm for several days. We still don't know how Fellow Daoist Sun's master is doing. Our lives are at stake, so let's head to Qingxia Sect first!"

"Alright, let's go check on Fellow Daoist Sun's preparations of spiritual herbs first! Then we'll go to the Myriad Pill Workshop!"

"Let's go then!"

After saying that, Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei flew to the location of Qingxia Sect on their swords.
