In this Medicine Hall, everything appeared ordinary, and indeed, it was quite ordinary—at least, that was Meng Yirou's impression.

The truly astonishing treasures were actually with Senior Gu.

But this book... it wasn't just Meng Yirou; even Bai Fei'er was slightly drawn to it when she saw it, because the cover bore the four large characters "The Grand Medicine Compendium."

"The Grand Medicine Compendium? What is that?"

Although Bai Fei'er had some doubts in her heart, she didn't want to open the book, nor did she know what it was. Senior Gu's belongings shouldn't be touched carelessly. Didn't she just see Meng Yirou get caught red-handed for doing so?

She didn't want to cause any trouble and possibly anger Senior Gu, especially since he had treated her well.

"The Grand Medicine Compendium... could it really exist?"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Meng Yirou was more knowledgeable. The moment she heard the name, her expression changed.

Bai Fei'er asked her in confusion, "Do you know about it?"

Meng Yirou pursed her lips and whispered, "I once heard my master mention it. It's said that in the ancient Great Void Era, a 'Medicine Immortal' wrote the Grand Medicine Compendium and used it to prove his path, gaining great fame. Unfortunately, it later went missing... Could this book be that Grand Medicine Compendium?"

The Grand Medicine Compendium was a legend in the world, a "rumor" that alchemists had never stopped searching for. Of course, no one had found it. The Great Void Era was a million years ago, and countless people had sought this priceless treasure.

Meng Yirou didn't know if the Grand Medicine Compendium was as miraculous as the rumors claimed, but her master had discussed it with her in detail. She remembered her master saying that although the Grand Medicine Compendium was written by a Medicine Immortal, it contained the secrets of heaven and earth, and only those with great fortune and determination could glimpse it.

"This..."

Meng Yirou looked at the seemingly unremarkable old book and hesitated, glancing at Bai Fei'er.

No, it's too difficult not to want to look at it!

She was obsessed with the art of alchemy, and now she had a chance to see a priceless treasure from legend. Although its authenticity was uncertain, even with Senior Gu's prowess, it was hard to say if it was real.

Then, Meng Yirou made up her mind.

She slowly approached, her jade hand moving extremely slowly, about to touch the book's cover.

Suddenly, a tremendous force surged forth!

Meng Yirou was caught off guard, but the pendant around her neck silently shattered in an instant. Yet, the force continued unabated. At that moment, a silver cat suddenly appeared, leaping onto the book, and with a swipe of its paw, it knocked Meng Yirou's hand aside.

Meng Yirou clutched her hand in pain, nearly stumbling and falling.

"Meow~"

Su Jinxi lazily yawned, looking at Meng Yirou with disdain in her eyes.

"Such ignorance, daring to peek at such a divine object with just an Out-of-Body stage."

She had just finished a bowl of medicinal soup and was resting on top of the medicine cabinet, refining the medicinal power. Who would have thought these two ignorant girls would dare to touch the Grand Medicine Compendium? If she hadn't intervened in time, Meng Yirou would have been crushed to dust by the compendium's power!

Bai Fei'er, upon seeing Su Jinxi, immediately recognized her as the Nine-Lives Demon Cat that Senior Gu kept as a pet and said in fear, "Thank you, Senior Demon Cat, for saving us!"

She had only felt the slightest ripple from the Grand Medicine Compendium, and it nearly caused her body to explode. If not for this demon cat's timely intervention, she would have perished.

"What do you mean, Senior Demon Cat! I'm Su Jinxi, the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, and you two are so disrespectful."

Su Jinxi bared her teeth and claws.

"That book... is really the Grand Medicine Compendium!"

Meng Yirou was still shaken. The pendant around her neck was a Sacred Grade protective treasure, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator, yet it shattered like an ordinary object. Fortunately, the Nine-Lives Demon Cat intervened; otherwise, she would have died a horrible death.

But precisely because of this, the compendium must be real!

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

Su Jinxi walked gracefully to Meng Yirou, raising her head slightly.

"Yes, I am. I didn't know, Senior Jinxi..."

"Never mind, don't think about what you shouldn't. Luckily, my master asked me to keep an eye on you; otherwise, you two would be dead by now! Now hurry and leave, stop disturbing my rest, or I'll bite your heads off!"

Su Jinxi's sharp teeth glinted menacingly, and her imposing aura pressed down on them.

Meng Yirou and Bai Fei'er immediately apologized repeatedly and then rushed out the door.

"Hmph, two little girls."

Su Jinxi flicked her tail, glanced at the Grand Medicine Compendium, resisted the urge to open it, and jumped back onto the medicine cabinet to continue resting.

...

The two girls dashed out of Greenwood City and stopped in the forest outside the city.

Meng Yirou, still shaken, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and gasped, "That demon cat... she said she's the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, Su Jinxi?"

Bai Fei'er was also pale, "That's what she said..."

"Hmm..."

Meng Yirou nodded, then suddenly thought of something, "Wait!"

"Recently, there was news from the demon clan that the Grand Elder of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan died while attempting to reach the Great Ascension stage, unable to withstand the tribulation!"

This news had caused a huge stir, known to everyone. Although Meng Yirou didn't pay much attention to demon clan affairs, she couldn't avoid hearing the rumors.

"What?!"

Bai Fei'er was instantly terrified, "Then the Nine-Lives Demon Cat we just saw must be..."

Meng Yirou agreed, "It should be that Grand Elder! She's still alive, but now she's with Senior Gu... there must be some secret behind this!"

However, whatever the secret was, it wasn't her concern.

Human clans should stay out of demon clan affairs, as the King of Ten Thousand Demons didn't like humans much.

More importantly, there was the Grand Medicine Compendium and the three freshly made eighth-grade pills in her hand.

With such a reclusive master of extraordinary skill, whose medical prowess was unparalleled, just watching him refine medicine had suddenly pushed her cultivation to the brink of a breakthrough, and her alchemy skills seemed on the verge of advancing too!

"Miss Fei'er, I have urgent matters and must return to the Divine Medical Palace. I won't forget the kindness of tonight, and from now on, we are friends."

Meng Yirou said solemnly.

Although this "opportunity" was given by Senior Gu, without Bai Fei'er leading the way, how could she have found it?

Moreover, it seemed that Senior Gu had gifted this Bai Family young lady a Sacred Grade Divine Weapon, clearly valuing her talent and intending to nurture her! In that case, it was better to establish a connection, which would surely be beneficial in the future.

Bai Fei'er was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, and immediately agreed.

Becoming friends with the Divine Medical Palace's saint was something she never dared to dream of before.

Thanks to Senior Gu!
