Inherited Memory in the Copper Piece

Lu Nan did not know that he had just passed out.

A flash of white suddenly appeared at his side, then his body floated up and drifted onto the bed.

The White Figure followed close behind, a delicate, slender hand resting on Lu Nan's forehead.

With a movement of that pale hand, Lu Nan's pallid face gradually regained its color.

"You little fellow, your luck is quite good." A cool, astonished voice rang out.

"Who would have thought that a Broken Copper Token would contain an Inherited Memory?"

As her voice fell, the White Figure turned and surveyed the entire room.

Her lovely brows furrowed. With a wave of her deft hand, the entire room instantly became perfectly neat and level.

After finishing all this, the woman in white returned to the bedside.

Looking at the sleeping Lu Nan, she said, "It's a pity his Spiritual Root is somewhat lacking. Otherwise, he would have been qualified to become my disciple."

"What a pity!!"

Sensing Lu Nan's cultivation, a glint flashed through the woman in white's eyes.

After pondering for a moment, she took out ten bottles of Qi Condensation Pills and placed them on the table.

Her figure flashed, and she vanished.

Not long after the woman in white disappeared, Lu Nan slowly awoke.

"Mm... where am I???"

Lu Nan abruptly sat upright. "I remember a ray of light shooting out from that copper piece, and then I passed out!"

Thinking of this, Lu Nan hurriedly checked himself over. Only after a moment did he let out a long breath of relief.

"Does this count as a blessing in disguise?

Who would have thought that the light shot from that Broken Copper Piece was actually the inheritance of a fifth-grade Alchemist."

As he recalled the countless pill formulas and Alchemy techniques in his mind, a strange expression appeared on Lu Nan's face.

This really was a case of getting exactly what he lacked. With this Alchemist's inheritance—

It was no exaggeration to say that once he fully mastered it, he would become a genuine fifth-grade Alchemist.

A fifth-grade Alchemist!! As far as he knew, even the Peak Lord of Spirit Pill Peak was only sixth-grade.

The thought filled Lu Nan with excitement, but a powerful Alchemist also needed profound cultivation to support him.

To refine fifth-grade pills, he would need to reach the Golden Core realm before he could even try.

With his current strength, he could at most refine first-grade pills.

But for Lu Nan, that was enough for now.

Ignoring his body's exhaustion, Lu Nan hurriedly sorted through the Inherited Memory.

Before long, he found the pill formulas he wanted: the Body Tempering Pill and the Qi Condensation Pill.

The Body Tempering Pill was no longer useful to him, so Lu Nan searched some more.

In the end, he found a pill formula called the Bone Hammer Pill, whose medicinal effect could temper one's bones.

After quickly reviewing the required ingredients for the Qi Condensation Pill and Bone Hammer Pill, Lu Nan immediately had a clear idea.

He already had all the ingredients for the Qi Condensation Pill.

However, for the Bone Hammer Pill, he was still missing a spiritual herb called Bone Break Grass.

"I'll ask Fu Ye later. Spirit Treasure Pavilion should have it."

Only then did he have time to look around. One glance left him utterly dumbfounded.

"Th-this is my room?? Since when did it become so neat??"

Amid his astonishment, Lu Nan suddenly realized that the air seemed to be filled with an incredibly pleasant fragrance.

Unsure, he sniffed hard, ultimately confirming that there really was a scent in the air.

It was even a familiar scent. Thinking carefully, wasn't this the fragrance that vicious woman carried??

Having reached that conclusion, Lu Nan shuddered. "Damn it! That woman came here while I was unconscious???"

He hurriedly lowered his head and patted himself all over. "Thank goodness! Thank goodness!! Everything's still here!"

"What did that woman come back for??? Could it have been for the Inherited Memory??"

Lu Nan suddenly looked toward the table. "Hm?? Are those pills???"

He sprang from the bed and ran to the wooden table, examining it carefully. "They really are pills—and Qi Condensation Pills at that!!"

Looking at the ten bottles of pills on the table, Lu Nan fell silent for a time.

Only after a long while did he say in a complicated tone, "What exactly do you want?"

After thinking for a long time without reaching any conclusion, Lu Nan exhaled a breath of turbid air. "Fine!

At least for now, that woman doesn't seem to bear me much ill will.

As for what she is plotting, I'll find out eventually."

Picking up the pills on the table, Lu Nan returned to the bed.

He sat cross-legged and began cultivating. As bottle after bottle of pills disappeared,

Lu Nan's cultivation steadily rose as well.

By the time the morning sun rose over the horizon once more, all ten bottles of pills had been used up.

"Fifth layer of Qi Condensation???" Lu Nan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and murmured.

After moving his body a little, he took out Talisman materials and began drawing.

He planned to spend the next month drawing Talismans and studying Alchemy.

He did this for two reasons: first, he had run out of resources; second, he needed to stabilize his cultivation.

That was to prevent an unstable foundation. Besides, since he had obtained an Alchemist's inheritance,

he naturally had to try and see whether he could become an Alchemist.

Over the next few days, Lu Nan was either drawing Spirit Talismans or studying Alchemy.

"I wonder if that person has been spying on me?" Lu Nan placed the Spirit Talisman he had just drawn to one side.

He tipped his head up at the sky and muttered to himself.

Ever since his last bout of unconsciousness, Lu Nan had not dared enter or leave the Mysterious Space carelessly.

He wanted to avoid exposing the existence of the Mysterious Space, which meant he had not entered it for more than ten days.

"How did that person even set her sights on me??" Whenever Lu Nan thought of it, he could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

His talent was mediocre, and he had never done anything earth-shattering since entering the sect.

So why had she singled him out???

Suddenly, inspiration struck Lu Nan. He lowered his head and looked at the Spirit Talisman in his hand.

He remembered that when he had encountered the woman in white, he had been drawing a Spirit Talisman.

Perhaps she had noticed him then. After all, a Spirit Talisman Master was one of the rarer professions.

"If I'd known, I wouldn't have drawn them in the Book Collection Pavilion!" Lu Nan immediately regretted it bitterly.

Because of his carelessness, he had caught the attention of a big shot who was likely in the Nascent Soul realm.

"I wonder what status that woman holds within the sect?

But judging from our two encounters, her status must be quite high.

Still, why would a big shot like her come to a godforsaken place like the Book Collection Pavilion?"

"Damn it! Who did I offend?

I've been keeping my head down and cultivating, yet I still ran into a big shot like this." The thought made Lu Nan feel miserable.

"Ugh! What a sin!!" While grumbling, he put away the Spirit Talismans on the table.

He planned to personally visit Spirit Treasure Pavilion this month,

to see if he could find a chance to enter the Mysterious Space.

With his current cultivation, there was no way for him to know whether that woman was monitoring him.

After tidying up a little, Lu Nan pushed open the door and left.

Following the familiar route out of the sect, after advancing to the fifth layer of Qi Condensation,

his travel speed had increased greatly. Before long, he arrived at Mountain Market.

After checking himself and finding no problems, he walked straight toward Spirit Treasure Pavilion.

The moment he stepped inside, a maid led him to an Elegant Pavilion on the second floor. A familiar voice soon rang out.

"Why has Brother Lu come? You didn't even send word."

As Fu Ye spoke in a reproachful tone, she walked up to Lu Nan and looked at him with a smile.
