Chapter 188 - 185: 8-Treasure Profound Spirit Pill
It wasn’t hard to deduce that the word "Treasure" would be followed by "Map."
"A Daluo Sect Treasure Map?" A flicker of excitement crossed Ye Xing’s face. He quickly opened his Qiankun Bag, preparing to take out the other Treasure Map.
This Treasure Map fragment read "Daluo Sect Treasure," while the one Ye Xing had gotten from the Thousand-faced Man, Hu Yinjiu, read "Map." He couldn’t help but wonder if the two fragments belonged to the same Treasure Map.
Ye Xing quickly took out the Treasure Map he had gotten from the Thousand-faced Man, Hu Yinjiu, and placed the two fragments side-by-side to compare. The torn edges didn’t match up at all, not even close. Furthermore, the textures on the back of the two pieces of parchment were completely different.
’Sure enough, collecting a complete Treasure Map is no easy task.’ Ye Xing shook his head and sighed softly. He immediately put both fragments back into his Qiankun Bag. He could only wait and see if he could find the other pieces in the future. If he managed to assemble a complete Treasure Map, he’d strike it rich—rich enough to buy an Innate Realm Demon Beast without a second thought.
"Guardian Ma, distribute the wealth from this mountain fortress to our men. Make sure those who were injured or killed receive double compensation!" Ye Xing ordered.
"As you command!" Ma Feng said with a bow.
"By the way, how are things with the perfume factory I told you to set up?" Ye Xing asked in a serious tone.
Ye Xing was planning to open a perfume factory on the Martial Arts Continent, dedicated to producing perfume. It was the kind of thing that was sure to be loved by the vast majority of women, and even some of the more flamboyant men would probably use it.
The market on the Martial Arts Continent was massive. Once he established sales channels, the profits would be endless. Besides, making perfume wasn’t difficult. Raw materials like flower petals could be sourced locally. Moreover, the quality of the flowering plants on the Martial Arts Continent far surpassed those on Earth, meaning the perfume produced would be even purer.
"The factory is built, and the staff have been assigned. We can start production in two or three days at most," Ma Feng reported.
"Mm, very good. Don’t rush into mass production. Create a batch of test samples first. Once we’ve adjusted the formulas for each perfume to achieve the optimal scent, then we can consider producing in large quantities," Ye Xing said.
"Also, I’m leaving the Great River Gang’s affairs to you all! I’m going to travel for a while and will be back later!" After giving Ma Feng a few more instructions, Ye Xing left Triangular Mountain.
The remaining trivial matters could be handled by Ma Feng and the other high-ranking Squad Leaders of the Great River Gang. Ye Xing, meanwhile, prepared to continue his training. ’Sooner or later, I’ll have to step out into the martial world. The more experience I gain now, the fewer mistakes I’ll make later.’
The darkness of night gradually thinned. A sliver of pale, fish-belly white light appeared on the horizon and began to spread, dimly illuminating the sky.
Before long, a golden sun rose slowly from the eastern sky. Its rays shot down toward the earth like ten thousand arrows, plating the fallen leaves on both sides of the road with a golden sheen.
On the wide dirt road, Ye Xing rode onward on his sturdy horse. Having traveled for several shichen since the previous night, he estimated that he had already left the vicinity of Sunset City.
This was the first time Ye Xing had left the area around Sunset City in the several months since he’d arrived on the Martial Arts Continent. He had spent all this time mostly around Phoenix Town and White Cloud Mountain. The only other time he’d gone to Sunset City, he remembered, was with Mengxue and the others. Back then, they had ridden a Wind-Chasing White Crane across the Lianyun Mountain Range to get there.
Now, leaving Sunset City for the first time by himself, Ye Xing felt a complex mix of emotions—a bit of loneliness, a bit of loss, and a touch of melancholy.
As he let his horse wander aimlessly, a cloud of dust suddenly billowed up behind him, prompting Ye Xing to turn and look.
"HYAH! HYAH! HYAH!" "CLOP! CLOP! CLOP!"
"HYAH!"
A large group of people of the martial world appeared from around a bend in the road behind him. Carrying long spears and with Great Sabers slung over their backs, they were rushing in his direction at top speed.
"HYAH!" "Third Brother, hurry up! If we’re late, someone else will snatch the Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill!"
"Younger Brother Sun, faster! We have to get that Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill!"
This group of people from the martial world came and went quickly. Like a gust of wind, they swept past Ye Xing and hurried onward, leaving behind nothing but billowing yellow dust.
"What? The Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill?" Ye Xing’s eyes flashed. ’Could these people know where to find one?’ He quickly grabbed the reins and spurred his horse to give chase.
The Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill, a Top-grade Spirit Pill produced by the Medicine King Valley, could drastically increase one’s Inner Power Cultivation with no side effects whatsoever. Taking an Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill could allow a Martial Artist at the Martial Arts Eighth Layer to directly break through to the Martial Arts Ninth Layer. In other words, it increased one’s Cultivation by at least one full level. For someone with Ye Xing’s Martial Arts Fourth Realm cultivation, taking an Eight Treasures Profound Spirit Pill could allow him to jump straight to the Peak of the Martial Arts Fifth Realm, and there was even a slight chance he could break through directly to the Sixth Realm. It was an absolutely First Class Top-grade Spirit Pill that would make countless Martial Artists green with envy.
