Chapter 485 - Staying Behind

“May I know how to address this young lord?” Bei Gong Xiong asked the man in white

“Si Yue.” Sima You Yue randomly thought of a name.

That’s right. The one who had followed after the Falcon King was Sima You Yue.

A few days ago, just as they were thinking of how to enter the Bei Gong clan without raising suspicion, Little Roc suddenly stood up and opened the window and took a look around, saying, “Yue Yue, I thought of an idea.”

“What idea?”

“I just felt the aura of a bird clan.” Little Roc said.

“You guys wait here. We’ll head down first.” Sima You Yue’s eyes shone.”

After speaking she went out with Little Roc and a short moment later, the Mother Son stone had a reaction.

“There’s a falcon clan nearby. We’re going over to take a look. If it’s possible, we’ll get them to lead us to the Bei Gong clan. Wait for me news.” Sima You Yue’s voice transmitted over via the Mother Son stone.

“Are you going alone? Why don’t we go with you.” Sima Lie was rather worried.

“Grandfather, you all should wait for me in the city. Who knows, when the time comes, I’ll need your help to arrange things.” Sima You Yue said. “You guys can relax. Little Roc is their king, so nothing will happen.”

After speaking, she broke off the connection.

They were outside the city, stopped by two falcons in disguise. After finding out that there was a falcon clan here and that they weren’t too far away, they planned to ask the Falcon King for help. If the time really came for a fight, they might even need their help.

The fact that LIttle Roc had become king was something that all the bird clans knew. All the birds in the surrounding regions obtained the information via a special way. However, they were too far away and no way of coming to pay their respects.

Sima You Yue and Little Roc entered the falcon clan as the Falcon King brought his clan members to greet them.

“Falcon King, we encountered a bit of a situation and would like to request for your help.” Sima You Yue said straightforwardly.

“As long as we can help you, please say the word.” Falcon King said.

Sima You Yue told him the situation and explained that she hoped to borrow the Falcon Clansmen to enter the Bei Gong clan, find an opportunity for her to stay behind and look for someone.

“This isn’t a problem.” Falcon King said.

“Also, I want you to wait somewhere outside the Autumn Moon City secretly. If any trouble arises, we hope you will be able to step in and help.”

“This isn’t a problem either.”

“Then we’ll have to trouble you.” Sima You Yue never thought that the Falcon King would be so easy to work with despite looking so cold and distant.

As such, the Falcon King brough Sima You Yue to the Bei Gong clan.

Bei Gong Xiong saw that Sima You Yue was so calm and composed. This was something that not everyone possessed. Adding on to that the fact that the Falcon King would escort him personally, his identity must not be simple. He might even have come from the inner regions.

He smiled, asking, “I wonder what kind of pill Young Lord Sima wants to refine?”

“Monarch pill.” Sima You Yue said.

The Monarch Pill had the same use as a Divinity Pill. It was just that the effects were different. While the Divinity Pill allowed one to break into the Divine Rank, the Monarch Pill would allow one to break into the Monarch rank.

“Monarch Pill?” Hearing the name of this pill, the Bei Gong Clansmen sucked in a cold breath.

Sima You Yue nodded, saying, “Can you refine this?”

Bei Gong Xiong said, “We cannot.”

Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows, “Why?”

“The method for refining a monarch pill has been long lost. As for us, without the method, we have no way of refining the pill you want.” Bei Gong Xiong said.

When she heard this, Sima You Yue’s expression relaxed, saying, “The method isn’t a problem. I have it.”

“You do?”

“Yeah.” Sima You Yue replied, “I’ve seen the method. It’s an eighth ranked pill. As long as you have an eighth ranked alchemist, it will be fine.”

“We have an eighth ranked alchemist.” Bei Gong Xiong said, “However, the higher the rank, the lower the success rate. Our alchemist has never refinined it before, so the success rate is questionable. If we fail to refine it, we have no way to compensate you.”

Sima You Yue sighed, saying, “I’m an alchemist as well. I know the laws of the refining world. Honestly, I didn’t prepare that many portions of medicinal ingredients. I could only prepare a maximum of three portions, that’s why I went to look for the Buddha Lotus. You know this as well. Aside from being a little bit more efficient, it can also raise the success rate of the pills. I have no other methods now. The one in my clan is already growing old. Only by entering the monarch rank can he extend his lifespan.”

“Then when do you want to begin refinement?” Bei Gong Xiong asked while thinking which clan or sect would be in this kind of circumstance.

“Two more days.” Sima You Yue said, “Because the last ingredient will only mature in two days time. At that time, someone will notify me and send it over. I came first to find a path.”

“Since this is the case, why don’t you stay here for two days? When your ingredient is here, we can begin the refinement.” Bei Gong Xiong said.

“Alright. No matter whether or not the pill is successfully refined, we will compensate you greatly.” Sima You Yue said.

Bei Gong Xiong did not have too many requests. Since the other party was an alchemist, he would naturally know the rates of each rank of alchemist. He wouldn’t renege either. In any case, they were brought over by the Falcon King. It would be really awkward to haggle over the price. Now that the party had spoken thusly, the remuneration wouldn’t be low.

“Young Lord Sima, if you have decided to refine the pill at our place, why don’t you hand the method to us first? Let us research it for a bit to increase the rate of success.”

Sima You Yue was at a loss. This was a lost method. If it was handed over to the other party and something happened, she would lose it forever.

Bei Gong Xiong saw Sima You Yue acting this way and understood. He would be at a dilemma as well if it were him. After all, this wasn’t a small thing.

However, at the end, Sima You Yue still took out the pill method. The ancient paper clearly showed that it had been around since ancient times. It definitely wasn’t a fake.

“I’ll have to trouble the Bei Gong Clan.” Sima You Yue passed the pill method heavily to Bei Gong Xiong.

“I will get them to research this properly.” Bei Gong Xiong said, “I’ll let my men take you downstairs to rest.”

“Okay.”

Falcon King was fussy about his residence. He did not like the noise, so Bei Gong Xiong placed him in a house that was further behind.

Falcon King said that he wanted one close to the mountain, so any courtyard near a mountain would be good enough. As such, they arranged a courtyard near the back mountains.

Sima You Yue kept thinking about the location of Bei Gong Tang’s courtyard that she told her of before. She realised that it wasn’t too far away from where they were going to stay.

“You all can leave. Our King does not like humans to come near.” A falcon said as he waved away those who were leading the way.

It was common knowledge that the Falcons did not like interacting with humans. As such, they were not suspicious at all and left. When Bei Gong Xiong received the news, he ordered everyone to stay away from the area.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
