Chapter 78: The Effect of Strengthening the Marrow

  "Really?"

  Yue Yunjie's gaze also shifted to Yue Yizhen, and finally, with a hint of a smile, he raised the corner of his lips. "Zhen, what do you think yourself?"

  "Dad, this question is somewhat redundant!"

  Yue Yizhen hugged her fist without hesitation, and there was not a single expression on her face. "If Brother Yu can make my Yue family rise to power in the north in the future, then it's not just this small tribe leader, even if he wants me to go to death one day, I, Yue Yizhen, will be willing!"

  Yue Yongjie burst out laughing as soon as he heard the words, his voice full of delight: "What a willing heart! This is indeed worthy of being a son of the Yue family, it's not in vain that I've taught you for so many years!"

  Yue Yunwen, who was standing beside him, frowned and listened for a moment before flinging his sleeve in annoyance. "Forget it! The position of clan leader is your family's affair anyway. I'm tired of meddling!"

  "Hehe! In my opinion, Yunwen, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. I think Yu'er may not necessarily be eyeing this position. It's better for Yizhen and him to help each other out, that way they can complement each other..."

  At this point, Yue Yongjie couldn't help but laugh at himself. "Actually, if that child can really make it to that step, he might not even bother with the likes of me, the head of the insignificant Yue family!"

  Yue Yunwen was taken aback, and at this time, Yue Yunjie also stopped talking, leading the Xuanjia heavy cavalry behind him, rushing straight towards the City Master's Mansion. The demeanor was unprecedentedly proud.

  ※※※※

  Hurriedly returning home, Yue Yu's first thing to do was to analyze the material structure and composition of the three Strong Brain Pills in the small bottle.

  When these three 3D holographic spectra were recorded in detail on the auxiliary intelligent system, Yue Yu's expression was both joyful and worried.

  Fortunately, most of the ingredients were things he had seen before in the valley over the past six months. Unfortunately, those ordinary herbs probably wouldn't be of much help this time.

  The ingredients of this Strong Tendon Pill, astonishingly, include nearly half that he had only seen in some rare medicines. And among them, the most difficult to obtain were the bone marrow of those third and fourth grade demonic beasts.

  This means that if he wants to mass-produce the Strong Spirit Pill, he must go far beyond the valley and enter the area where high-level demon beasts roam.

  And the precious medicinal herbs afterwards were not simple either. In this year, although he knew that there were some small-scale black markets near the Yue family city, but the amount he needed was really too large, and it was also very difficult to conceal his purpose and identity.

  Fortunately, there is still the Shunfu Pharmacy, which can purchase through the channels established by Yue Zhangshi from outside the controlled area of ??Yuejia City. It may be the only feasible way. As long as it's not bought and sold in Yuejia City, the clan won't be dissatisfied either.

  Shaking his head slightly, Yue Yu swallowed another Strong Tendon Pill into his stomach. As the medicinal effect gradually took hold in his belly, Yue Yu initially felt a warm and comfortable sensation throughout his body. However, after half an hour, he began to feel as if every bone in his body was about to shatter, and it was as if millions of ants were biting him with intense pain. The pain was even more severe than the last time he had risked taking five Five Elements Spirit Pills at once. Fortunately, Yue Yu didn't need to divert his attention to manipulate the true energy within his body anymore; all he needed to do was grit his teeth and endure the suffering, then record the effects of the medicinal ingredients and the changes in his body.

  After a while, when the pain in his body had subsided slightly, Yue Yu's entire body was covered with yellowish-black stinky sweat. However, he couldn't care about the foul odor on his body at this time and almost immediately began to sit cross-legged and cultivate his internal energy, silently examining the situation inside his body. Then, within just ten minutes, Yue Yu stood up with a somewhat disheartened expression.

  Just as the demon books he had read said, the effect of this strong marrow pill was only to strengthen the marrow blood in his body, increasing the amount of yuanqi produced by the human body every day. Although the efficacy is also very good, it cannot achieve the effect of the five-element spirit pill, which can be seen immediately after taking it. It is estimated that even if he successfully imitates and takes it every day, three years later, at most, he will only reach the peak of a third or second-level martial artist.

  Looking at the physical condition he recorded earlier, this strengthening has a limit after all, at most around 180 to 200. The Strong Bone Pill will completely lose its effect on him. On the other hand, the permanent effect will be of great help to him in the future, allowing him to barely catch up with those with mediocre martial arts qualifications in terms of internal energy cultivation.

  Forcing down the disappointment in his heart, Yue Yu washed up and changed into new clothes before sitting on the bed to think. Although this medicine's effect wasn't great, he still had to go replicate it; after all, it could increase his strength by a bit. However, if he wanted to meet Yue Yongjie's requirements within three years, then he would inevitably have to find another method.

  Suddenly, Yue Yu's heart moved and he quickly rushed out of the yard, retrieved the dragon-horned horse and hurriedly headed northwest towards the location of the Cangshu Building.

  At this moment, it was the time of the clan's grand comparison. The usually crowded library was unexpectedly quiet and deserted. After Yue Yu entered, although she was slightly surprised for a moment, she then rushed into the stairs without caring about anything else, taking three steps at a time to reach the third floor.

  Meanwhile, at the entrance of the third floor staircase, there were originally four or five elderly people leisurely reading books. Seeing Yue Yu Feng rushing up the stairs to the third floor, they first flashed a hint of murderous intent in their eyes, but immediately afterwards, they all smiled and let Yue Yu walk upstairs.

  Yue Yu didn't find it surprising at all, in fact, as early as a year ago when he had just woken up, he already knew that these old men were extraordinary. Although they looked no different from ordinary old people, as long as you observed their thick joints and strong muscles, you could tell that they were the result of years of martial arts practice.

  Specifically, Yue Yu couldn't see the actual strength at that time. However, from the fact that in these years, no less than thousands of mid-to-high-level martial artists have visited the Yue family's library, yet not a single one dared to enter the third floor, one can guess something about it.

  However, the higher the strength of these elderly people, the more noble their status in the clan should be. It also means that most of these elders are aware of his affairs.

  Actually, thinking about it, the 108 Elixir Pills that Yue Yongjie promised to provide him with over three years are worth as much as a thousand taels of gold. Such a large sum of money, his uncle, even if he is the respected head of the Yue family, may not be able to afford it himself and would necessarily have to seek support from the elderly members of the clan.

  As soon as he stepped onto the last floor, Yue Yu first looked around. He found that there were only about 6,000 to 7,000 books on this floor. However, they were not placed as casually as those downstairs. Each bookshelf was divided into categories and held about 50 books, wrapped in animal skin to prevent water and fire damage. The bookshelves themselves also emitted a strong sandalwood scent, indicating that they were made of high-quality wood that could repel insects and ants.

  Among the bookshelves, there were also several elderly people who were quietly reading. When they saw Yue Yu's arrival, they were all surprised and put down the books in their hands, curiously looking towards the staircase, wondering what the little guy was going to do this time.

  Yue Yu himself was oblivious to it, he first walked around the entire floor, until he saw a bookshelf with internal skill mind method labels, only then did he stop.
