Chapter 16: Immortal Ascension Pill, Learning Alchemy

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the following period of time, Zhang Xuan would appear in the restaurant almost every day.

The old scholar also came punctually every day to chat with Zhang Xuan.

Although Zhang Xuan placed his hopes on the old scholar, he did not take out all the ancient words in the brocade.

Every day, he would listen to the old scholar explain the meaning of one or two ancient words. When he returned, he would ponder over it.

After treating the old scholar to wine for a month, Zhang Xuan finally understood the meaning of all the words.

It turned out that what was recorded on the brocade was not a martial arts secret manual, but a pill formula. It was a medicinal pill called the Immortal Ascension Pill.

“Could there really be immortals in this world?”

Zhang Xuan looked at the brocade in his hand, his eyes filled with shock.

Back then, when Zhou Lingzhen told him that this was something left behind by an immortal, Zhang Xuan actually didn’t believe her.

After all, although he had not been in this world for long, after becoming an escort, his career as an escort had given him a better understanding of this world.

This world was huge, and there were countless people who practiced martial arts, but there had never been any mention of immortals.

Even if he heard about the Immortal Sword Case, in Zhang Xuan’s opinion, it was just a rumor deliberately spread by Ouyang Xue’s enemies.

However, the pill formula on the brocade made Zhang Xuan believe in the existence of immortals even more.

This was the only formula that dared to add the word ‘immortal’ to the name of the pill!

Perhaps there were really immortals in this world. The mortals could not come into contact with them, so there were no words about immortals.

“By the way, the cave that Ouyang Xue went to previously might have something that proves that there are immortals in this world.”

Zhang Xuan, who wanted to find out if there were immortals in this world, thought of the cave that Zhou Lingzhen had told him about.

The brocade that recorded the pill formula was obtained by Ouyang Xue from that cave. There might be treasures that Ouyang Xue had yet to find.

Since he knew the location of the cave and it wasn’t far from Lin’an City, he had to investigate.

The next day, Zhang Xuan found He Yushan and said that he had to go out for a few days.

This trip was different from his usual trips to the restaurant to drink. It would take a lot of time.

Zhang Xuan, who had decided to stay in the escort agency for a period of time, did not want to cause any misunderstandings for He Yushan because he went out. Therefore, he would personally find He Yushan and tell him that he wanted to go out.

“You’ve worked hard for so long. It’s time to relax. Go!”

He Yushan nodded with a smile and agreed immediately.

Zhang Xuan had already made enough contributions to the escort agency. It was normal for him to go out and relax for a few days. He did not think too much about it.

Moreover, he had already made up his mind to nurture Zhang Xuan into a trusted aide of the escort agency. He Yushan would agree to any other request as long as it was not too much, let alone going out to relax for a few days.

Of course, with Zhang Xuan’s understanding, he knew that Zhang Xuan would not make excessive requests.

However, Li Feng was secretly delighted when he saw this scene. After Zhang Xuan left, he went straight to He Yushan.

“Chief escort, I suspect that Zhang Xuan has obtained the immortal sword and is preparing to escape.”

Li Feng’s disdain for Zhang Xuan had increased to hatred for him. He had been looking for an opportunity to scheme against Zhang Xuan.

Over the past month, he had long known that Zhang Xuan went to the restaurant to drink with the old scholar every day. Li Feng immediately sensed that something was wrong and kept watching Zhang Xuan.

After all, Zhang Xuan was very cold to everyone, but he was very concerned about an old scholar. This was not in line with Zhang Xuan’s personality.

After knowing that Zhang Xuan was leaving the escort agency for a period of time, he immediately thought of a way to defame Zhang Xuan. These were the words he had said to Zhang Xuan.

One had to know that Zhang Xuan was the only one who had escorted Zhou Lingzhen to her destination. Who knew if Zhang Xuan had done anything in secret?

Even if he didn’t, as long as He Yushan was dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan, his goal would be achieved.

Hearing this, He Yushan’s face instantly darkened. He snorted coldly and said, “There’s no immortal sword! Even if the immortal sword exists, if Zhang Xuan wants to leave the escort agency, would he need to come back before escaping?”

“Well …”

Li Feng was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

He did not expect He Yushan to treat Zhang Xuan like this. Not only did he not believe him, but he also scolded him?

This not only made Li Feng hate Zhang Xuan even more, but he also hated He Yushan.

As for He Yushan, he was also even more dissatisfied with Li Feng.

It was fine if he was frivolous, but he actually tried to sow discord. Did he think he was a fool?

“Don’t ever let me hear that again, understand?”

He Yushan stared at Li Feng and said coldly.

“Chief escort, I understand.”

Li Feng hurriedly nodded, not daring to reveal his thoughts.

However, the moment he turned around, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

He Yushan’s protection of Zhang Xuan and his disregard for him made him hate him.

***

After Zhang Xuan left the escort agency, he spent a week finding the cave according to the location Zhou Lingzhen told him.

“This should be the place.”

Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked around. Just as Zhou Lingzhen had described, he found a flashing entrance on a steep mountain wall and walked in.

The cave was dark and chilly, but it did not affect Zhang Xuan at all.

At the Connate Realm, even at night, it was like daytime in the eyes of Connate Realm experts.

After walking for more than 10 breaths in the dark cave, everything became clear.

This was a space about the same size as the small courtyard he lived in, but there was nothing in the empty cave.

After sizing up the cave, Zhang Xuan carefully searched the cave with anticipation and anxiety.

Since it is an immortal’s cave abode, there couldn’t be nothing left behind, right?

However, after searching the entire cave, he found nothing. This made Zhang Xuan speechless.

“Since Ouyang Xue was able to find this place, he must have taken all the good stuff. I’m actually looking forward to finding some treasures.”

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly. He wasn’t disappointed.

He had come here with the intention of trying and did not insist on gaining anything.

After all, the existence of immortals in this world did not affect him much.

After leaving the cave, Zhang Xuan returned to the escort agency.

After resting for a day, Zhang Xuan decided to learn alchemy.

“Whether there are immortals or not, I’ll know once I try to refine the pill on the pill formula.”

Zhang Xuan prepared to try refining pills.

There were also pills in this world, be it to heal injuries or to increase cultivation.

However, the pills he knew were no longer of any use to him, who had broken through to the Connate Realm.

If the Immortal Ascension Pill was useful to him, it would prove that there might really be immortals in this world.
