Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Wen trembled all over, his eyes shining.

Ever since he was recruited into the Nine Mystic Sword Sect and knew that his aptitude was low, he had slowly lost hope in cultivation.

This feeling of being in a cultivation sect but not having any opportunities made him feel like he was going crazy.

He was only here to give himself a thought.

There was no hope.

What could 10 spiritual rocks do?

However, he saw hope in Han Muye’s sword!

To open up a path for sword cultivators with low aptitude and talent!

This was the Ancestral Return of 10,000 Swords!

This sword could dominate the world!

“I, I will not let you down!” Zhou Wen, who was kneeling on one knee, lowered his head and muttered.

That dazzling sword light was already deeply engraved in his heart.

In this life, he would definitely master this shocking sword!

When he looked up, Han Muye was no longer in front of him.

…

Han Muye, who had walked out of the building, felt more enlightened.

From imitating Mo Yuan’s attack to seeing Zhou Wen’s state just now, he felt his state of mind rise.

Cultivation in the world was extremely difficult.

Only this sword could open the Great Dao.

Sword light continued to linger in his divine treasure.

The sword intent in his Qi Sea also vibrated gently.

By the time he walked out of the Waterside Residence, the sword intent and sword qi in his body had already converged.

His spiritual energy realm, which had just broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, had also stabilized.

“Senior Brother Han.” The female cultivator, Jin Yuan, smiled when she saw Han Muye.

“Fairy Jin, is Elder Su Liang here?” Han Muye cupped his hands and asked.

Jin Yuan’s EQ was not high, but she was honest.

She had cared about his life and death several times.

She was a good person.

“Master is here. He’s preparing to go to the medical hall to observe Patriarch Tao Ran refine pills,” Jin Yuan said in a low voice as she led Han Muye into the wooden building.

“Patriarch Tao Ran’s alchemy skills are top-notch in our Nine Mystic Sword Sect.”

Jin Yuan’s words were filled with reverence.

A half-step Heaven Realm ancestor was a being that they looked up to.

“You’re here to ask when we’re going to Mushen City, right?” Elder Su Liang’s voice could be heard as they entered the wooden building.

Elder Su Liang reached out and took the spiritual herbs and cauldron from the wooden shelf. He walked over and said, “Let’s go to the medical hall.

Patriarch Tao Ran wants to refine the Void Meridian Pill. This is a rare opportunity to observe.

The patriarch said that we will go to Mushen City together in three days.”

Han Muye smiled and nodded.

It seemed that he did not have to worry about these things at all.

The Patriarch was probably more concerned about him.

By the time they arrived at the medical hall, there were already people standing outside.

“Patriarch Tao Ran wants to refine the Void Meridian Pill. I have to observe carefully this time.”

“Void Meridian Pill. Does our Nine Mystic Sword Sect know how to refine it?”

“Back then, the Patriarch specialized in alchemy, and his fire meridians were powerful. It’s said that he was once the number one alchemist in Nine Mystic.”

There was a murmur of conversation.

Han Muye followed behind Elder Su Liang and forced his way into the bamboo building.

“Elder Su Liang is here.”

“Elder Su Liang is also here to observe the Patriarch refine pills.”

“Who is that kid? Why is he with the elders?”

Han Muye braced himself and rushed into the bamboo building. Then, under many angry gazes, he walked to Patriarch Tao Ran’s side.

“Patriarch.” Elder Su Liang bowed to Patriarch Tao Ran, who was sitting in front of the pill furnace.

Han Muye also bowed slightly.

Patriarch Tao Ran looked up at Han Muye, then raised his hand, and a flame landed on the cauldron.

There was silence.

Patriarch Tao Ran controlled the furnace with one hand and threw in spiritual herbs with the other.

When the spiritual herbs entered the pill furnace, a fragrance seeped out.

The vigorous medicinal power seemed to be about to explode the pill furnace.

This was because the medicinal properties of the spirit medicine were too strong.

“Hum—”

Patriarch Tao Ran kept casting spells to stoke the flames in his hand and control the pill furnace.

All kinds of spiritual herbs landed in the pill furnace, causing the medicinal power in the pill furnace to continuously gather and rush to the peak.

Han Muye watched Patriarch Tao Ran refine pills intently, and images appeared in his mind.

The temperature of the flames, the order of the spiritual herbs, and the medicinal strength in the cauldron fused.

The images kept changing and disintegrating.

“Hum—”

A tremor came from the cauldron.

In Han Muye’s mind, the images dissipated into flames.

He comprehended the technique of refining the Wood-Type Void Meridian Pill.

He comprehended the technique of refining a Fire-Type Void Meridian Pill.

He comprehended the technique of refining the Water-Type Void Meridian Pill.

…

The comprehension of the eight techniques stunned Han Muye.

Patriarch Tao Ran had only refined one Void Meridian Pill, but he had comprehended eight techniques.

Was it his problem or Patriarch Tao Ran’s refinement method?

In his mind, the images circulated again, and he closed his eyes slightly.

There were 16 types of spiritual herbs missing from the Wood-Type Void Meridian Pill.

The Water-Type Void Meridian Pill was missing 13 spiritual herbs. The other five were dispensable and did not affect the medicinal properties.

There were only 21 types of spiritual herbs used in the Metal-Type Void Meridian Pill.

…

The formula for each single attribute Void Meridian Pill required nearly half of the spiritual herbs that Patriarch Tao Ran refined.

Was this the way to refine the Void Meridian Pill?

“Han Muye, what do you think?”

Patriarch Tao Ran’s voice made Han Muye open his eyes.

He turned and looked around. The eyes were on him.

“Who is this person?” Someone frowned and looked at Han Muye and Patriarch Tao Ran.

Patriarch Tao Ran had already asked the other alchemy elders what they thought of the Void Meridian Pill.

Two pills in a furnace.

Such alchemy methods were also shocking to the elders.

Naturally, everyone was full of compliments.

Even Elder Su Liang sighed. He said that after a few decades, Patriarch Tao Ran’s alchemy skills had reached the peak.

At this moment, Patriarch Tao Ran looked at Han Muye with a trace of smugness in his eyes.

In his hand, he held a glowing pill.

Faint light seeped through the pill, as if it was about to turn into nothingness. There were also clouds interweaving and swirling around it.

Even with just a glance, one could tell that this pill was extremely extraordinary.

Seeing that Han Muye was in a daze, Fairy Jin Yuan quickly whispered everyone’s comments.

In her opinion, Han Muye must have been completely confused just now.

It was normal. Few people present could understand the alchemy of an expert like the Patriarch.

Hearing Jin Yuan convey the elders’ evaluations, Han Muye was amused.

These alchemy elders probably didn’t understand either, right?

“Patriarch, I’m afraid we won’t be able to obtain supreme-grade pills by refining the Void Meridian Pill like this, right?”

Han Muye looked at Patriarch Tao Ran and chuckled.

He could not obtain the supreme-grade.

Everyone present was stunned, then looked at Han Muye with a strange expression.

Where did this brat come from? He actually mentioned the supreme-grade pill.

There were countless alchemists in the world. How many of them could refine supreme-grade pills?

Supreme-grade pills required strength. More importantly, it was luck.

Someone looked at Han Muye coldly and muttered to himself, “He’s just trying to attract attention. If he talks nonsense in front of the Patriarch, the Patriarch will definitely expel him.”

“He’s young, but his tone is arrogant. He has no respect for his elders. I wonder which lineage he belongs to.” Someone frowned and looked displeased.

Elder Su Liang turned around and glanced at Han Muye.

Shock flashed across Fairy Jin Yuan’s face. She looked at Han Muye with a hint of worry in her eyes.

This Senior Brother Han has a good temperament, but his EQ is not good. He does not know how to speak.

This would definitely offend Patriarch Tao Ran.

As expected, Patriarch Tao Ran’s face darkened as he looked at Han Muye.

“You’re right.”

Right?

In the medical hall, the audience widened their eyes.

“The Patriarch actually didn’t blame this person?”

“No, the Patriarch isn’t angry?”

“No way. Could this be the patriarch’s…”

Many people looked at Han Muye strangely.

The dignity of a Heavenly Realm Patriarch was not to be offended.

This person who dared to criticize the Patriarch’s medicinal pills without offending the Patriarch was definitely not an ordinary person.

“What do you think we should do to refine a supreme-grade pill?” Patriarch Tao Ran’s voice could be heard again.

What should he do to refine a supreme-grade pill? Who the hell knew?

Wouldn’t he be able to refine a supreme-grade pill?

Not right!

This was the Patriarch asking!

He was asking the kid who had just evaluated his pills!

Haha, I see.

We thought the Patriarch didn’t care.

It turned out that the Patriarch was deliberately making things difficult for this kid.

Everyone’s expressions changed again. They were gloating.

If Han Muye couldn’t answer, hehe.

Almost everyone was waiting to see how the Patriarch would punish the rude Han Muye.

Elder Su Liang frowned and Fairy Jin Yuan shook her head gently.

Senior Brother Han was too straightforward.

“If you want to refine a supreme-grade pill, I think you should purify the medicinal effect.”

Han Muye reached out and grabbed the pill in Patriarch Tao Ran’s hand.

He extended his divine sense and felt the rich medicinal power in this pill.

However, he, who was used to refining supreme-grade pills, instantly sensed that there was a trace of impurities in this pill.

The mixed effects of the medicine.

It was also this trace of mixed medicinal power that made this pill definitely not supreme-grade.

“Indeed.”

Holding the pill in his hand, Han Muye nodded, then looked at Patriarch Tao Ran, who was frowning slightly. “Patriarch, if a disciple of the Fire Lineage consumes this pill, most of the medicinal power will be wasted.

In this pill, only the medicinal power of a fire-attribute spiritual medicine can be used.”

At this point, he turned to look at Elder Su Liang.

“Elder Su Liang, is there a simpler way to refine the Void Meridian Pill?”

Simplify the formula?

Elder Su Liang looked at Patriarch Tao Ran.

“Simplify?”

“A waste of medicinal power?”

Patriarch Tao Ran stood up and frowned. “Let’s go. Follow me to the library.

Su Liang, I remember that there’s more than one pill formula for this Void Meridian Pill in the library, right?”

Elder Su Liang hurriedly said, “Indeed, but this is the most complete one. The medicinal pills refined are also the most potent…”

Patriarch Tao Ran nodded and led Han Muye away.

Elder Su Liang’s eyes flickered as he strode forward.

There was confusion in the medical hall.

Fairy Jin Yuan stood there, looking lost.

Was Senior Brother Han’s words really reasonable, or was he making things up?

But the Patriarch seemed to believe him?

“Who is this kid…” Someone shook his head and whispered.

“I seem to have seen this kid somewhere, but I don’t remember.” Someone whispered as he left the medical hall.

Today, he was amazed by Patriarch Tao Ran’s alchemy methods.

However, such a high-quality Void Meridian Pill was rejected. It was puzzling.

Was the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s alchemy really so prosperous that they didn’t even care about the high-quality Void Meridian Pill?

…

In front of a green brick and wooden building, Patriarch Tao Ran took a deep breath.

“Old Wu Three, let me take a look at the pill formula.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired Daoist in a green robe landed in front of the wooden building.

“Crazy Tao, Senior Brother Ran?

Are you going to study the Void Meridian Pill again?”

The old man shook his head and said, “Forget it. Cultivate your sword well. Why are you tormenting that pill?”

“Wu Ziyuan, why do you interfere in my matters?” Patriarch Tao Ran shouted coldly and strode towards the wooden building.

“Look, since I can’t control it, why are you calling me?” Grand Elder Wu Ziyuan shook his head and shrugged.

Turning around, Wu Ziyuan’s expression relaxed. “Junior Sister Su Liang, ignore that lunatic. Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to tea.”

After saying that, his gaze landed on Han Muye.

“Where did you come from, kid?”
