Chapter 506 - 502: Sit? Sit My Ass!

Over ten days of training passed in a flash.

In the sect atmosphere of the Star Tower, there was no urgent matter, and no one would come to disturb.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Han decided to go talk to Sect Leader Yu Chou.

After all, it would soon be time for the mountain treasure exploration.

Taking advantage of the free time now, it was best to give the Pill to Senior Yu You first.

Spending fifteen years to gather those materials showed how important this Pill was to him.

Speaking of which, all the Senior Yu Yous treated him quite well.

One should say that the people of the Celestial Sword Sect got along with him quite well.

Shen Han also did not deny that he needed the protection of the strong.

Upon first arriving in this Divine Land, he was in the Cangxuan Valley.

Without the backing of powerful individuals, even when facing injustice, he could only swallow his anger.

Sometimes, to uphold ’reason,’ one needs someone influential to preside over justice.

Senior Yu You had helped him many times, and his strength was formidable, so offering some help was quite natural.

Being grateful is the most basic virtue of a person.

With these thoughts, Shen Han then headed to Sect Leader Yu Chou’s courtyard.

He and Senior Yu You are brothers, and the person most easily contacted was indeed him.

Compared to Yi Qi, he might be even easier to contact.

Upon learning that Shen Han was seeking his brother, Yu Chou’s face showed hesitation.

"My brother often goes into secluded training and comprehending, and lately his mood has been somewhat bad.

Are you sure you want to find him, child?"

Yu Chou’s question basically revealed his intent to decline.

Adults not agreeing immediately is essentially a rejection.

No matter how you say it, Yu You is among the top strength in today’s Divine Land.

He wasn’t someone easy to meet.

However, this time, Shen Han had a hint of determination.

He then took out a Pill and explained everything about the Pill he had previously discussed with Yu You.

"Shen Han, once a Pill is prepared, there’s no going back...

Not to mention completing it, even finishing one step makes starting over impossible.

If a Pill fails in refinement, it’s a complete failure, and there’s no point in wasting time."

Yu Chou, like Yi Qi, considered it a waste of time.

"If you’re truly interested in the path of Medicine-Refining, you can find Hall Master Chen; he has been immersed in the Alchemy Dao for years and can give you some guidance.

However, it’s best to do so after the mountain treasure exploration.

In sixteen days, it’ll be the mountain treasure exploration day, so focus a little more.

Perhaps this time, you might shine brightly."

Always advising Shen Han, today he was a bit persistent.

"Sect Leader, could you please trouble yourself to disturb Senior Yu You just once...

Just this once, I want to see if the ten-plus days of effort weren’t wasted.

Maybe, just maybe..."

If the Pill with white spots wasn’t problematic, he would’ve helped Yu You.

At the very least, he could seek more guidance from him later on.

Even if the Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House didn’t give him enough improvement,

he could still seek instruction to progress toward the Immortal Realm.

Immortal Realm, stepping into the Immortal Realm.

Shen Han constantly thought about that day.

Returning to the Great Wei, seeing Madam Yun, seeing Cailing, seeing Shi Yuezhu...

He didn’t even know what his first words should be.

Yu Chou didn’t expect Shen Han to be so insistent today.

After hesitating for a while, he still agreed.

Firstly, Shen Han genuinely wanted to help.

Secondly, Shen Han had earned qualifications from Snow Mountain House, which truly was meritorious.

Seeing his Sect Leader agree, Shen Han then didn’t disturb further and placed the Pill on the table.

It was wrapped gently in an oil paper.

Watching Shen Han leave, Yu Chou casually picked up the Pill.

Unfolding the oil paper, there were quite a few white spots on the Pill inside...

Yu Chou recalled what his brother had previously said.

His Pill had too many impurities, making it entirely unusable.

Forced consumption was more harmful than beneficial.

These white spots, likely, were those impurities.

Thinking of this, Yu Chou could only smile wryly.

There was no need for his brother to come; he could already ascertain the Pill’s problem here.

But since he had promised, a small gathering would occur.

Despite having recently reunited...

Yu Chou already felt that once his brother arrived, he would certainly get a scolding.

The difference between Yu You and Yu Chou mirrored that between the Celestial Sword Sect and the Star Tower.

Even with his current strength, Yu You remained engrossed in cultivation.

Such constant disruptions naturally invited scolding.

Though Shen Han wouldn’t be scolded, Yu Chou surely couldn’t avoid it.

Returning to the courtyard, Shen Han continued his cultivation while waiting.

In less than two days, Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader Yu You arrived.

Upon reaching the Star Tower’s domain, he sensed something was amiss even before setting foot inside.

With a light snort, he barged directly into Yu Chou’s room.

"You old fool, tell me, what’s the big deal?

In such a rush to call me over, you scoundrel, you’re still here drinking tea!"

A long sword suddenly slammed onto his desk with a snap.

Seeing his elder brother standing in front of him, Yu Chou quickly stood up, a smile on his face.

With a handkerchief in hand, he promptly helped wipe the long sword.

"Brother, please sit, please sit."

"Sit? Sit my ass!

Didn’t you say the Star Tower encountered a crisis again?

Where is the crisis?

And what about Nangong Jin?

Didn’t you say he injured you!!"

Yu You really felt like hitting someone, like beating his brother half to death first.

"Brother, calm down, calm down, you’re so old, why be so irritable..."

"Irritable?

If I wasn’t worried about something happening at the Star Tower, would I be this irritable?

If today you don’t give me a suitable reason, I’ll be surprised if I don’t leave you crippled for a month or two!"

Saying this, Yu You sat down directly.

He took a drink from the teacup beside him, seemingly drank too much, and spat out some tea leaves the next moment.

Sect Leader of Star Tower, Yu Chou, still smiling, brewed a pot of hot tea again.

"I was just afraid you wouldn’t come, so I made up an excuse..."

"Spare me the nonsense, what’s the real reason?"

Seeing his elder brother truly angry, Yu Chou coughed lightly a few times.

"Actually, it’s nothing major, just your younger brother wanting to have a meal with you.

After all, we at Star Tower have gained two qualifications for the Forbidden Land of Snow Mountain House."

Yu You sneered: "I don’t accept this reason, all these matters can be explained through sound transmission.

If you’re making up a reason, at least make it sound plausible.

If you can’t come up with a suitable excuse, I’ll be damned if I don’t leave you crippled for ten days or half a month."

Hearing this, Yu Chou also showed a wry smile.

"Actually, it’s really nothing big, it’s just that Shen Han, that child, said it’s the Pill you gave him.

Since he returned, he’s been trying to process it for you.

After all, it’s his effort, so he wants you to take a look."

As soon as he said this, Yu You was so upset that he stood up.

"Yu Chou, are you like a three-year-old child!

Even if you don’t practice the Alchemy Dao, you have no understanding of Pills at all?

Giving those Pills to him already proved they were useless.

You’re so old yet can’t even discern such things and just follow along foolishly.

At this rate, you’re going to bring the Star Tower to ruin!"

A tirade of scolding ensued, this was all within Yu Chou’s expectations.

He also knew he was in the wrong, so he endured the scolding quietly, not daring to retort.

"Since you’re here, might as well guide our disciples at Star Tower.

After all, the mountain exploration is about to begin.

Perhaps with your guidance, our disciples might gain some insight."

"So this is your true purpose after all."

Yu You rolled his eyes at his brother but mostly looked helpless.

"Since I’m here, let’s go.

If anyone else had deceived me into coming, it would’ve been impossible not to get hurt."

Saying this, Yu You began walking out of the courtyard.

Yu Chou hesitated for a moment before fetching the Pill.

Though Shen Han is quite unreliable, since his brother had come, he should at least take a glance.

"Brother, just take a look, perhaps the changes aren’t very noticeable.

But what if there’s a slight improvement?"

Looking at the oiled paper-wrapped item in front of him, Yu You shook his head before even opening it.

"Anyone with some knowledge of Alchemy Dao would know this is absolutely impossible.

You’re not some young novice to the path of cultivation, can’t you even fathom this?"

Yu Chou pursed his lips beside him.

"Brother, please just keep this Pill as a sign of the disciple’s gesture.

It’s far better than those disciples who never think of us.

Just accept the Pill, say a few nice words, say it seems to have some changes and tell other Great Medicine-Refining Masters to study it later.

Shen Han has quite an obsession with this, so let’s not discourage him."

Hearing this from his brother, Yu You hesitated for a moment but eventually reached out to take the Pill.

Indeed, this made sense.

Though everyone knew Shen Han’s efforts were in vain, he genuinely wanted to help.

The Pill was just wrapped in oiled paper.

Only the lowest grade Pills would be wrapped in such oiled paper.

There was nothing to be done; this was the only packaging material Shen Han could find at hand that was suitable for wrapping a Pill.

After taking the Pill, Yu You spread it out and glanced at it.

And just with that glance, he suddenly froze in place.

On the Pill’s skin, small white dots appeared before his eyes.

The original Pill’s skin was a solid, earthy color.

Seeing his brother frozen, Yu Chou also came over.

He also lifted his eyes to get a glimpse of the white dots on the Pill.

"Though I don’t understand Alchemy Dao, I know these white spots on the Pill’s skin indicate impurities.

But this is Shen Han’s goodwill, and Pills with such white spots are indeed rare.

You can take it back and have the Hall Masters studying Alchemy Dao do more research."
