A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 16 Searching for Yu Zitong's Storage Bag

In the initial draft of his book, he set up the premise that the four prescriptions had been obtained by Doctor Mo many years ago.

then.

Doctor Mo founded the Jingjiao Society, but was betrayed by his enemies and poisoned with a rare and deadly poison.

Not wanting to sit idly by and wait for death, they had no choice but to seek medical help everywhere.

He was lucky enough to find a long-secluded family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

Although it couldn't completely eradicate the deadly poison and hidden ailment from his body, it did save his life and strength.

As for what methods Mo Juren later used to obtain the several prescriptions,

Needless to say.

Originally, the Yellow Dragon Pill and the Golden Marrow Pill were elixirs created by a family of physicians for their own use to strengthen their constitution and improve their physical condition. After they fell into the hands of Doctor Mo and were used by the original protagonist Han Li, who was studying medicine in the book, the original protagonist, Han Li, was helped to reach the eleventh level of Qi Refining by taking medicine, thanks to the convenience brought by the small bottle.

It's incredible.

After all, who would have thought that a mortal pharmacist could develop elixirs that are even suitable for cultivators in the mid-to-late stages of Qi Refining?
Who would have thought that such a valuable prescription originated from the hands of an ordinary physician?
"And Mo Juren is also quite remarkable; he collected seedlings of four kinds of herbs related to elixirs several years ago." Han Li was also deeply moved as he watered the seedlings.

Unfortunately, these herbs are not old enough.

Without the small bottle of green liquid to accelerate ripening, it's impossible to prepare the four kinds of elixirs.

...

The large house where Dr. Mo lived.

The door creaked open from the outside.

A figure stepped in; it was Han Li.

He would go into the house every now and then to help Dr. Mo clean the room. This was one of the reasons why Dr. Mo liked him so much.

"Let's keep looking, paying special attention to inconspicuous places. Although we haven't found it in the last ten or so times, maybe this time..."

Then came a flurry of activity as they rummaged through drawers and cabinets.

Let's start with medical books.

It's no exaggeration to say that he has read through all the dozens of medical books on the bookshelves here in three years, and many of them are almost worn out from being read so many times. Combined with the keen senses, broad knowledge, and thirst for knowledge that cultivators possess, he has also absorbed most of them into his mind.

And it was here that he found the formulas for four kinds of pills, including Huanglong Dan and Jinsui Wan.

Unfortunately, almost all the books here are on pharmacology, and there are no cultivation methods.

"That book of longevity is not here."

The black book that Dr. Mo always loved to hold and study was mostly taken away with him by his personal belongings.

"Where is Yu Zitong's storage bag?

As a disciple of a certain cultivation family in the Yue Kingdom who was sent to the mortal realm for training, Yu Zitong likely carried quite a few valuable items with him. At the very least, he probably possessed some historical artifacts related to the cultivation world.

"I've searched this house at least ten times; I've looked every nook and cranny where I could hide something..."

"Where exactly did Doctor Mo hide that storage bag?"

"Shouldn't you carry it with you?"

As a mortal without magical powers, Doctor Mo cannot use a storage bag. For a mortal to wander the world carrying a storage bag, a minor magical artifact used by cultivators, is simply like trying to carry a lantern in a toilet... courting death.

As long as Yu Zitong doesn't want to die a violent death along with Doctor Mo, he will absolutely not try to trick Doctor Mo on this point.

That's for sure.

therefore.

Yu Zitong's storage bag is most likely still hidden somewhere within the Seven Mysteries Sect.

The fact that Doctor Mo never produced a "Blood Spirit Grass" from beginning to end indirectly proves this point.

"Perhaps, Doctor Mo possesses a secret little treasure trove within the Seven Mysteries Sect that I am unaware of, a place specifically for hiding things..."

"Oh right, the cave in the book where the corpse puppet Zhang Tie is hidden...!"

Suddenly, Han Li thought of something.
In the book, Zhang Tie disappears for two years. During those two years, he was actually secretly murdered by Mo Juren and turned into a corpse puppet. He was placed in an extremely secluded cave at the foot of the mountain, where Doctor Mo hid him for two years.

It wasn't until two years later that Mo Juren brought him up the mountain and into Shenshou Valley.

"Were all the items placed in that cave by Mo Juren?"

"Trouble..."

In his past life, he was indeed the author; he set up all the plot points in the book.

However, his descriptions of details were not so detailed as to be omniscient.

For example, in the book, he had absolutely no clue about the cave where Mo Juren hid the corpse puppet Zhang Tie.

"I thought I could find Yu Zitong's storage bag, and then use my magic to open it and see if there was anything useful inside." Like getting a magic artifact or something.

Even a low-grade magic weapon is still more useful than divine weapons in the mortal world.

With a magical weapon capable of cutting through iron like mud in hand, he could easily launch a surprise attack on Mo Juren if he was caught off guard.

Another example.

Find the Blood Spirit Grass. Use the Blood Spirit Grass to concoct a spiritual liquid to help improve your cultivation.

That aged Blood Spirit Grass is best suited for use in the late Qi Refining stage. When used to prepare Blood Spirit Pills for cultivators to consume and refine, it can greatly enhance the cultivation level of Qi Refining cultivators.

In fact, wasn't it precisely to protect that Blood Spirit Grass, which had been medicinal for hundreds of years, that Yu Zitong fought a bloody battle with a cultivator of higher cultivation level, which led to his current miserable state?
How could a spiritual herb that could make Yu Zitong, who was obsessed with worldly luxury, change his ways and risk his life for it be an ordinary item?

Yu Zitong possesses the formula for the Blood Spirit Pill.

Yu Zitong also had the recipe for preparing special spiritual liquid using Blood Spirit Grass, and it was even written in a book in this study.

No matter what.

The Blood Spirit Grass is either in Doctor Mo's possession and has been taken away, or it is in Yu Zitong's storage bag.

"What a pity, what a pity..."

Han Li shook his head, put away his complicated emotions, left the study, and finally returned to his small wooden house.

However, he always felt that he had a connection with that Blood Spirit Grass.

This feeling is inexplicable.

...

Spring goes and autumn comes, and more than a year has passed.

Shenshou Valley is still the same Shenshou Valley.

The herbs in the medicinal herb field are growing well.

but.

Doctor Mo hasn't returned to the mountain for a year and a half, which has caused some concern among the higher-ups of the Seven Mysteries Sect.

Sect Leader Wang, along with several other deputy sect leaders and elders, came to Divine Hand Valley one after another to inquire about Han Li and Zhang Tie.

Unable to get an answer, they all left with their own worries.

And before leaving, each of them would give Han Li and Zhang Tie a few words of advice:

"Once your master returns, immediately inform the disciples of the Asuka Hall..."

"The disciple understands."

The two of them certainly had no objections.

Even if they didn't need to inform them at all, since the disciples guarding the mountain of the Seven Mysteries Sect should have passed on the message before them, why would they need to say anything more?
But they have to listen to what the higher-ups say, and they have to act obediently and compliantly.

Also.

It is worth mentioning that.

Before leaving, Sect Leader Wang reassured the two of them, "Since you two are Brother Mo's personal disciples and are from my Seven Mysteries Sect, I will naturally not mistreat you. You can continue your training and herb cultivation in Divine Hand Valley as usual. I will have the money and rewards that Doctor Mo gives you distributed on time. Everything will remain the same..."

Clearly, this means they don't mind forming a good relationship with the two kids.

The two were very grateful for Sect Leader Wang's kindness: "Thank you, Sect Leader."

"Go back to the valley, no need to see us off."

"Respectfully seeing off the sect leader."

Doctor Mo might not be very well-known among the disciples in the valley, because he doesn't treat ordinary young people at all. However, he is very well-known among the higher-ups, after all, his medical skills far surpass those of the other physicians on the mountain, and he is the exclusive physician for those in the sect's higher-ups.

This sudden disappearance of more than a year was not because the higher-ups were concerned about Dr. Mo's safety, but because they were worried about his own health.

In the past, with Doctor Mo around, even if they were seriously injured by internal martial arts masters while traveling, they could be saved by medicine.

But now.

Dr. Mo is no longer here.

If they have a rare or complicated illness or suffer a serious injury, no one can cure them.

The doctors on the mountain are fine for treating minor injuries and illnesses, but when it comes to serious illnesses and injuries, they can only keep the patient alive. This is a far cry from the situation when Doctor Mo was still around.

of course.

Han Licai didn't care about the lives or deaths of the Seven Mysteries Sect's higher-ups.

Those people are tough; they won't die so easily.

Even though the Seven Mysteries Sect has been clashing more and more with the Wild Wolf Gang, a bandit group, he knows that it will be three or four years before the Wild Wolf Gang borrows military crossbows from the imperial court to attack the Seven Mysteries Sect, or even asks Master Jin Guang to come out of the mountains to help.

It happened when he was eighteen.

It's still early.

"I wonder what Mo Juren's current situation is?"

On their side, he was already prepared.

If Zhang Tie doesn't make a breakthrough soon, he'll have to fake his death to escape.

That's right.

He planned to run away.
