Chapter 547: Chapter 15 Shou Peak_3
Cui Daqi said:
“You can let me see, but I can’t really make judgements. There are simply too many recipes, and while valuable ones are few, I can not say I’m clear about all of them either. I can only assess the value of a recipe, but I can’t confirm if it is already in the Myriad Library. So, you still need to go to the library.”
Wang Ba was slightly disappointed.
However, if Cui Daqi was not interested, he could only try his luck at the Myriad Library.
Dusk was settling, and Wang Ba left the Spirit Food Department, flying towards the east.
The east was where Shaoyang Mountain was located.
Since Shaoyang was assigned to the Dragon constellation, the shape of Shaoyang Mountain resembled a sleeping dragon.
The dragon’s mouth was blocked by a stone gate, behind which lay a whirlpool.
And the whirlpool was the entrance to the Myriad Library.
Wang Ba flew past the stone gate and into the Myriad Library.
The library was a tall tower with five floors.
Cultivators often went in and out of the tower.
With Wang Ba’s cultivation base and position, he could only access the first two floors.
He flew directly into the second floor.
As he walked in, the world around him suddenly changed, filled entirely with books and jade slips.
There weren’t any other people in sight.
Having been here before, Wang Ba remained calm. He shifted his intent and called out:
“True Spirit of the Scripture Library, please show yourself!”
In the blink of an eye, a wordless scroll appeared in front of him, its up-and-down movements seeming to ask what he needed.
Seeing this, Wang Ba respectfully said:
“Junior wishes to present the sect a Spirit Food recipe, but I’m uncertain if it’s already in the library.”
The wordless scroll swayed slightly, and suddenly, a line of text emerged on its pages, just four words:
“Say it and see.”
However, Wang Ba did not do as instructed but instead asked, “If I say it, would the recipe no longer be considered mine?”
The wordless scroll then trembled slightly, seemingly angry with Wang Ba’s distrust.
Soon, another line of text emerged on its pages, just four words this time as well:
“Believe it or not.”
After a slight pause, Wang Ba decided to tell the Spirit Chicken Essence recipe.
The pages of the scroll quickly brought forth another line:
“What kind of Spirit Chicken?”
“It’s a Class I Spirit Chicken cultivated from a Precious Chicken.”
Wang Ba brought out one of the few Class I Spirit Chickens from his Spirit Beast Bag as he thought.
A ray of light shot out from the wordless scroll towards the Class I Spirit Chicken.
The scroll then swayed slightly, and four more words appeared on its pages:
“Already on file.”
As soon as these words appeared, the scroll projected two recipes.
One was a Spirit Food recipe using Precious Chicken as an ingredient, which could be used up to Stage VI of Qi Refining.
The other was a recipe using a Class I Spirit Chicken, which could be used up to the early-stage of Foundation Establishment at most.
The two recipes differed slightly in their treatment liquid mixtures and refining methods from Wang Ba’s, but they were basically the same recipe.
Moreover, both recipes specifically mentioned that the paste-like product had the properties of replenishing blood and essence, helping slightly with bottleneck breaking, and providing a small amount of Soul Power.
“It already exists…”
Wang Ba couldn’t help showing disappointment on his face, for he was quite confident in his Spirit Chicken Essence recipe. After all, there wouldn’t be too many Spirit Foods capable of breaking bottlenecks.
As he thought of this, a line suddenly surfaced on the wordless scroll. But this time, much more content emerged than before:
“The library found a total of 256 recipes with similar effects. Among them, 176 recipes are effective for Qi Refining, 62 for Foundation Establishment, 16 for Golden Core, 2 for Nascent Soul, and none for Immortal Ascension.”
“You can spend merits to unlock these recipes. Qi Refining recipes cost 2 merit points, Foundation Establishment recipes cost 5-20 merit points, Golden Core recipes cost 50-180 merit points, and Nascent Soul recipes cost 300-1000 merit points…”
“In addition, there are a total of 39,562 recipes with a similar single effect, including…”
Wang Ba: …
He underestimated the situation.
The whole library had over two hundred recipes that resulted in similar effects to the Spirit Chicken Essence.
Not to mention about classes One, but there were even recipes for classes Two and Three… Wait a minute!
Wang Ba suddenly paused.
He remembered something important.
The True Spirit only projected recipes using Precious Chicken and Class I Spirit Chicken, but there were no recipes using a Class II Spirit Chicken.
Furthermore, the treatment liquid used for a Class II Spirit Chicken wasn’t the same as that for Class I. They could be considered two different recipes. With that thought…
Wang Ba quickly told the True Spirit the treatment liquid formula and the corresponding refining method for Class II Spirit Chicken Essence.
These methods were all derived from his own experience and exploration, and even the Class II Spirit Chicken was painstakingly cultivated by him alone. Therefore, there should not be any identical recipes.
The wordless scroll swayed slightly, but did not immediately come up with any words.
Several seconds later, four words emerged on its pages:
“What kind of Spirit Chicken?”
Wang Ba quickly took out an upper grade Class II Spirit Chicken.
The wordless scroll dispatched another ray of light.
The light quickly dissipated.
This time, however, the wordless scroll was much quicker. A line quickly emerged on its pages:
“Not in our collection, we can collect.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba immediately perked up.
It worked!
However, he didn’t readily agree, instead he also told the recipe for Spirit Turtle Essence that used the Azure Spirit Turtle as an ingredient for both Class I and II Spirit Turtles.
