Chapter 9: Bai Ze

Chapter 9: Bai Ze

"What a pity?" Murong Qingyan pressed.

The little white ball tilted its head, thought for a moment, and then said, "This 'Medical Canon' is incomplete; this is actually only half of it."

Murong Qingyan picked up the "Medical Canon" and began to flip through it. The more she read, the more shocked she became. The book contained many medical cases she had never even heard of. Most importantly, it included formulas and refining methods for various medicinal pills. The highest-level pill recipes inside were already for level ten pills.

From the memories of her predecessor, she knew very clearly that in the Shenghong Continent, alchemists capable of refining level nine pills were few and far between. As for top-tier alchemists capable of refining level ten pills, they could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Level ten pills were already the highest grade of medicinal pills.

"How is that possible?" Murong Qingyan frowned slightly. "The pill recipes in here are already very comprehensive."

"That’s not the case." The little white ball shook its head, its expression serious. "There are indeed many pill recipes in here, even up to level ten. However, in this world, the highest-grade medicinal pills are not level ten pills, but rather—"

At this point, the little white ball paused, its expression becoming even more solemn. "Immortal Pills!"

As soon as these two words were spoken, Murong Qingyan’s pupils constricted, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes.

She didn't know much about medicinal pills. Although she had learned Traditional Chinese Medicine from her grandfather and was a world-renowned divine doctor, she had only heard of ancient things like medicinal pills and had never truly come into contact with them.

She had originally thought that Immortal Pills were just things of legend; she hadn't expected them to actually exist.

"Are you saying that what is missing from this 'Medical Canon' are the recipes for Immortal Pills?" Murong Qingyan asked.

"That’s right." The little white ball nodded. "Only by finding the other half of the 'Medical Canon' and combining them will it be complete. It’s just that I don't know where the other half is."

"I will definitely find the other half of the 'Medical Canon'," Murong Qingyan said firmly.

"Master, I believe you can definitely do it." The little white ball held up a fist and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, what is your name?" Murong Qingyan looked at the little white ball in front of her and asked curiously, "Up until now, I still don't know your name!"

Hearing that Murong Qingyan had finally remembered to ask for its name, the little white ball was almost moved to tears. It puffed out its chest and stated its grand name, "Master, my name is Bai Ze."

"Bai Ze?" Hearing this name, Murong Qingyan’s tone carried skepticism and a hint of surprise.

Although she was ill-informed, she had still heard of the great name of the divine beast Bai Ze. Legend had it that Bai Ze was an ancient divine beast, a symbol of auspiciousness, capable of human speech, understanding the emotions of all things, and knowing the appearance of all ghosts and spirits in the world. It was a lucky beast that could turn misfortune into fortune.

Yet, looking at the little white ball in front of her, aside from being snow-white all over, she really couldn't see a single trace of the divine beast Bai Ze.

"Master, what kind of look is that?" Seeing the skepticism in Murong Qingyan’s eyes, the little white ball bristled. "I am a dignified divine beast Bai Ze, I am—"

"Alright, I know." Seeing that the little white ball was about to start a long-winded speech, Murong Qingyan immediately interrupted, "Of course I believe you."

She had no choice but to believe it; she had already formed a contract with the little white ball. Besides, when the contract was first formed, the aura from the ancient times was real.
