Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Hatred Waters the Seeds of Revenge, a Pill Formula for Perception

Princess Lan Yue did not sleep well all night.

Anyone who spent half the day eavesdropping wouldn’t feel very good.

The impulse stirred within her was hard to suppress.

It was especially... persistent. She waited until nightfall, but no one emerged from the study. She had no choice but to leave, and even as she went, she could still hear intense sounds of impact.

’As expected of an Inner Master,’ she could only think in awe. ’Truly formidable.’

Back in her room, she tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

On one hand, she was worried about her own situation; the uncertainty always left her feeling uneasy. On the other hand, there was the turmoil from her eavesdropping. A buried desire had been suddenly unlocked, and it was difficult to close off or suppress.

Even nurturing the seeds of vengeance with all her hatred wasn’t enough to completely extinguish it.

When she got up, she had heavy bags under her eyes, along with very noticeable dark circles.

While washing up, she kept yawning, feeling utterly exhausted.

But even so, after a quick wash, Princess Lan Yue headed back to the study. She needed to know what was going on with Yang Chan.

’I can endure feeling tired for a little while,’ she thought. ’But if the situation turns against me, I’ll be sleeping for an eternity.’

Eternal rest after death was not the outcome she desired.

Arriving before the study, she didn’t hear any strange noises, which made Princess Lan Yue let out a long sigh of relief. Otherwise, she wasn’t sure she would have had the courage to stay.

Her maid, Xiaomei, had once told her to avoid eavesdropping, or she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

It was a lesson learned the hard way, and now she finally understood.

"Come in!"

Just as Princess Lan Yue raised her hand, wondering whether to knock, a voice came from inside the study.

It was Yang Chan’s voice.

"Greetings, Pharmacist Yang!"

Hearing this, Princess Lan Yue no longer hesitated and pushed the door open, stepping into the study.

The room wasn’t as she had imagined. The air didn’t have that... calla lily scent, and everything was back to normal.

It had obviously been cleaned up.

Seeing this, she sighed in relief again.

"Did you come to ask about the Merak Sacred Land?"

Yang Chan put down the "Alchemy Notes" he was holding. It was a record of various minor details from the alchemy process—copious, but disorganized.

He had naturally sensed Princess Lan Yue’s presence, just as he had yesterday. But after sensing no danger, he had paid it no mind.

When Princess Lan Yue came again today, he sensed her immediately as well.

"Yes. To be precise, I wanted to ask about your situation, Pharmacist Yang."

"Are you going to the Merak Sacred Land?"

Princess Lan Yue stared at Yang Chan, asking the question that was the source of her anxiety.

"I won’t be going to the Merak Sacred Land for the time being."

Yang Chan didn’t hide anything; there was no secret to keep about this kind of news.

"This time, the Sect Leader will take a group to the Merak Sacred Land first. I will be staying at the Cyan Yuan Sect for now and will go over later when there’s an opportunity," Yang Chan added.

"For the next few days, I will be going to the Earth Fire Institute for alchemy every day, as usual. If you want to join me, just let me know in advance."

Yang Chan looked at Princess Lan Yue. He was well aware of her worries, but instead of offering comfort, he simply continued giving instructions as usual.

"Okay, I will follow your arrangements, Pharmacist Yang!"

Princess Lan Yue’s attitude became even more deferential.

Much of the worry in her heart dissipated.

According to Yang Chan, she still had time, and that was enough for her.

Having options and not being pushed into a desperate corner naturally felt good.

"Alright. I’ll be refining elixirs for the next few days. If there’s anything you need refined separately, tell me first, and I will prepare the alchemy materials for you. The rest will be as usual."

After speaking, Yang Chan picked up his book again. His intention was self-evident.

Princess Lan Yue understood his meaning. After writing down the spirit medicine materials she needed, she also took a new pill formula from her robes before leaving directly.

’A Condensation Pill. An elixir that enhances perception!’

After Princess Lan Yue left, Yang Chan picked up the new pill formula she had left behind. It was for a new elixir with a rather unique effect: increasing one’s perceptive abilities.

The required materials were spirit medicines from Taiyin Heaven. The Cyan Yuan Sect had obtained few top level spirit medicines from Taiyin Heaven this time, but the overall quantity was quite large, and many of them were spirit medicines that had never been collected before.

They happened to have all the materials needed for the Condensation Pill, and it was also an elixir that Yang Chan planned to refine next.

His Daily Potential Point Collection had already reached 8.0. If the Condensation Pill was effective, his Potential Points would increase once again. This was good news for Yang Chan.

’She has quite a few pill formulas on hand. It seems this was originally one of your bargaining chips. Now that you see the situation clearly, you’ve offered it up directly. Very clever!’

Yang Chan looked at the pill formula, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

Being forced to reveal a bargaining chip feels very different from offering it willingly. At the very least, Princess Lan Yue’s action made Yang Chan feel quite pleased—it left a good impression.

’As expected, these members of the Royal Family are all masters of manipulating people’s hearts.’

But that didn’t matter. Now that the benefit was in his hands, the natural course of action was to refine the elixir and confirm the increase in Potential Points.

If the amount was substantial, it could significantly reduce the time needed for his next breakthrough in Martial Arts Cultivation.

He quickly memorized the contents of the pill formula. As for the alchemy process, he could just watch Princess Lan Yue’s personal demonstration. It would help him avoid some detours in his own refining.

「...」

"Damn it! Who the hell took the tower’s inheritance from Taiyin Heaven and framed the Holy Sect for it?"

The Taiyin Saintess was in a terrible state. She had several wounds on her body, and her clothes were stained red with blood. Her aura had become weak and unstable; her injuries were clearly more severe than they appeared.

At this moment, the Taiyin Saintess was leaning against a large tree, the sole survivor still on the run.

After they came out of Taiyin Heaven, they had left discreetly. Many Holy Lands had come to Taiyin Heaven, and their attitude toward the Taiyin Holy Sect was not friendly. There were faint signs they were uniting against them, so they could only leave quietly to avoid being targeted.

But as they were leaving, they were attacked by a mysterious force. Afterward, someone spread the rumor that the missing tower’s inheritance from Taiyin Heaven had been taken by the Taiyin Holy Sect.

This led to many masters hunting them down.

The Taiyin Saintess and her group were scattered during the chase. Now, after immense hardship, she had finally escaped to this unfamiliar place, concealing her aura.

In a time like this, she didn’t dare return to the Taiyin Holy Sect. Otherwise, those Candidacy Saintesses would all make a move, taking advantage of her weakest moment to strike a vicious blow and usurp her position.

The Taiyin Saintess knew this all too well. Thus, even while being hunted, she did not flee in the direction of the Taiyin Holy Sect. Of course, this also served to deliberately mislead her pursuers.
