I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 27: Thank you very much, Senior Gu!

Everything in this clinic seems ordinary, but it really is quite ordinary—that's Meng Yirou's thought.

The truly amazing treasures are actually all in Senior Gu's possession.

But this book... not only Meng Yirou, but even Bai Feier was slightly attracted when she saw it, because the cover of the book had the four big characters "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia".

"The Primordial Pharmacopoeia? What is that?"

Although Bai Feier had some doubts, she didn't want to look at the book. She didn't know what it was. She shouldn't touch Senior Gu's things. Didn't she see that Meng Yirou had touched it and got caught?

She didn't want anything else to go wrong and might anger Senior Gu, since he had treated her very well.

"The Primordial Pharmacopoeia... Could this thing really exist?"

Meng Yirou was more knowledgeable than her, and her expression changed the moment she heard her read it aloud.

Bai Feier asked her, puzzled, "You know?"

Meng Yirou pursed her lips and whispered, "I once heard my master mention that during the ancient Taixu era, there was a 'Medical Immortal' who wrote the Primordial Medicine Codex and used it to prove his Dao, establishing a great reputation. Unfortunately, this thing disappeared later... Could this book be the Primordial Medicine Codex?"

The Primordial Pharmacopoeia is a legend in the world, a "legend" that alchemists and physicians have never given up searching for. Of course, no one has ever found it. The Primordial Era is millions of years away from the present world, and countless people have searched for this priceless treasure.

Meng Yirou didn't know if the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia was really as miraculous as rumored, but her master had talked to her about these things in detail. She remembered her master saying that although the Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia was written by a medical immortal, it contained the secrets of the creation of heaven and earth, and could not be seen by anyone without great opportunity and great perseverance.

"This……"

Meng Yirou looked at the unremarkable old book and hesitated before glancing at Bai Feier.

No, it's too hard to avoid looking at this!

She was obsessed with alchemy, but now she might very well see the priceless treasure that was rumored to be in the world. Although it was hard to say whether it was real or not, even if Senior Gu was so powerful, it was still hard to say whether such a thing was real.

Then, Meng Yirou made up her mind.

She slowly approached, her delicate hand almost touching the cover of the book.

Then, a tremendous force surged forth instantly!

Caught off guard, Meng Yirou's pendant shattered silently in an instant, but the force continued to surge. Suddenly, a silver cat appeared, leaping onto the book and swatting Meng Yirou's hand aside with a swipe of its paw. Meng Yirou cried out in pain, clutching the back of her hand, and staggered, nearly falling.

"Meow~"

Su Jinxi yawned lazily, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Meng Yirou.

"They are truly ignorant of their own limitations. How dare they, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, try to peek at such a divine object?"

She finished the bowl of herbal soup and was resting on top of the medicine cabinet in the main room, refining the medicinal power. Who would have thought that these two ignorant girls would dare to touch the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia"? If she hadn't intervened in time, Meng Yirou would have been completely crushed into dust by the power of the pharmacopoeia!

Upon seeing Su Jinxi, Bai Feier immediately recognized her as the nine-lived demon cat that Senior Gu had kept as a pet. She said in a panic, "Thank you so much, senior demon cat, for saving my life!"

She had only felt the slightest aftershock from the Primordial Pharmacopoeia, yet it nearly caused her entire body to explode. If the demon cat hadn't saved her in time, she would have perished.

"What kind of senior demon cat are you! My name is Su Jinxi, the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan. You two have no respect for your elders."

Su Jinxi said, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

"That book... really is the 'Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia'!"

Meng Yirou was still shaken. The pendant around her neck was a sacred-grade protective magic treasure, capable of withstanding the full force of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator's attack. Yet, the pendant shattered instantly, just like an ordinary object. Fortunately, the Nine-Lives Demon Cat intervened, otherwise she would have likely died a gruesome death.

But precisely because of this, this pharmacopoeia must be genuine!

"Are you a disciple of the Palace Master of the Divine Healer Palace?"

Su Jinxi walked gracefully to Meng Yirou with cat-like steps, slightly raising her head.

"Yes, I don't know about Senior Jinxi..."

"Never mind that. Don't pry into things you shouldn't be asking. Luckily, my master specifically instructed me to keep an eye on you, otherwise you two would be nothing but bones by now! Get out of here, you're disturbing my rest. I'll bite your heads off later!"

Su Jinxi opened her cat-like mouth, her sharpest teeth gleaming coldly, and her imposing aura pressed down upon them.

Meng Yirou and Bai Feier immediately apologized repeatedly and then rushed out the door.

"Hmph, two little brats."

Su Jinxi wagged her tail, glanced at the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia," resisted the urge to open the cover, jumped onto the medicine cabinet, and continued to rest.

……

The two women dashed out of Qingmu City in a flash and stopped in the forest on the outskirts of the city.

Meng Yirou was still shaken. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and gasped, "That demon cat... she said she was Su Jinxi, the Great Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan?" Bai Feier's face also turned pale: "That's what she said..."

"Um……"

Meng Yirou nodded, then suddenly realized something: "That's not right!"

"A few days ago, there was news from the demon race that the Great Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan died during his attempt to break through to the Mahayana stage because he couldn't withstand the tribulation lightning!"

This matter caused a great uproar and became known to everyone. Although Meng Yirou did not pay attention to the affairs of the demon race, she could not help but hear the rumors.

"what?!"

Bai Feier was immediately terrified and asked hastily, "Then what was that nine-lived demon cat we just saw...?"

Meng Yirou wholeheartedly agreed: "It should be that Elder! She's still alive, but she's with Senior Gu right now... There must be some secret behind this!" However, even if there is a secret, it's none of her business.

Humans should refrain from interfering in the affairs of the demon race; the Demon King dislikes humans very much.

More importantly, there was the "Hongmeng Pharmacopoeia" and the three freshly made Grade 8 pills in her hand.

There is such a reclusive master in the world with superb medical skills. Just by watching him refine medicine, my own cultivation suddenly hit a bottleneck, and it seems that her medicine refining skills are about to break through!

“Miss Fei’er, I have important business to attend to and must return to the Qingyi Divine Palace first. I will not forget your kindness tonight. From now on, we will be friends.”

Meng Yirou said solemnly.

Although this "opportunity" was given by Senior Gu, how could she have found it without Bai Feier's guidance?

Moreover, judging from the way things are, Senior Gu even gifted this Miss Bai a sacred-grade divine weapon, which clearly shows that he values ​​her talent and wants to cultivate her! In that case, why not establish a relationship between them? It will surely be beneficial in the future.

Bai Feier was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and immediately agreed.

She was able to become friends with the Holy Maiden of the Divine Palace of Healing, something she never dared to imagine before.

Thank you very much, Senior Gu!
