The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 12 Book of the Divine Thunder

The 108 stars on the Heavenly Star Painting over Lin Yan's head were flickering brightly.

These stars were arranged in groups, both large and small, as they rotated slowly.

Among them, was a constellation, its revolving pattern was strange, unreal, and unpredictable.

What kind of martial arts technique was this illusory and unpredictable in movement? He grew increasingly confused.

Time was going by as Lin Yan did his best to memorize the Heavenly Star Painting, like everyone else around him.

Then he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the profoundness of it.

Half an hour later, someone finally shook his head and stood up regretfully. Knowing that his talent was limited, he did not want to waste time and hurried away.

Later, more and more people found that they couldn't understand the mystery of the Heavenly Star Painting. The map was living up to its name.

Only a true genius could comprehend the truth of it.

In less than an hour, there were only three people left in the whole of Starlight Tower.

These three people were Lin Tianyou, Huang Suqiu, and Lin Yan.

Suddenly, Lin Tianyou stood up. His eyes were filled with surprise as if he had comprehended something.

He threw his head back and laughed. However, his smile gradually stiffened when his eyes landed on Lin Yan.

"So you haven't left yet, Lin Yan. That's it! You're a dead man walking. I will allow you to live a couple more hours!"

Afterward, he bid farewell to Mu Chen and returned home.

Another hour later, Lin Yan opened his eyes slowly. He already had some understanding of the movement of the stars within the Heavenly Star Painting.

The Heavenly Star Painting was like the stars, the sea, the Milky Way, and the void.

Everything seemed so unreal as if it had never existed.

Or like it had always existed but was unknown to anyone.

He was still puzzled and lowered his head in deep thought. Only then did he realize that a pair of bright eyes were staring at him.

"Mr. Lin, from your expression, it appears that you have some doubts. Is the movement of the stars in the Heavenly Star Painting that incomprehensible?"

Lin Yan raised his head and looked at Huan Suqiu, who was standing beside him. She just stood there looking at him and gave him a small smile.

"It would appear you have benefited much from the Heavenly Star Painting, Miss Huang. Would you mind giving me some pointers?"

Huang Suqiu was taken aback. She looked Lin Yan over with some surprise and confirmed that Lin Yan was in front of her.

"There's no way Lin Yan did not discover the mysterious level of the Heavenly Star Painting. Don't tell me. Could he be testing me?" She wondered.

"You must be joking, Grandmaster Lin. If someone as talented as you can't comprehend it, what chance do I have?" Huang Suqiu replied.

But in her heart, she did think so.

To her, Lin Yan was number one in Sun County as he was a rare genius unmatched throughout the Yueming Kingdom.

Putting aside that his Art of Sword cultivation was profound, every stroke he made was fatal.

If news of such a young alchemist were to get out, the imperial sect would not hesitate to extend an olive branch to him.

Although she was not without talent, it was eclipsed by Lin Yan's.

Seeing that they had almost comprehended it, they paid their respects to Mu Chen and slowly left Starlight Tower.

Along the way, Huang Suqiu walked beside him, her hair fluttering in the wind. He felt instantly refreshed.

"Mr. Lin, you are so skilled in alchemy. How long have you been practicing it?"

She quickly added, "I have a favor to ask. My life depends on it. Grandmaster Lin, please don't refuse!"

Huang Suqiu's chatty, happy attitude turned serious in an instant. She stopped walking and bowed to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was startled. He did not understand what she meant.

Huang Suqiu took out a yellow medicinal pill from her storage ring. As soon as it appeared, its medicinal scent filled Starlight Tower.

The medicinal scent attracted every bee and butterfly within a mile like moths to a flame.

Seeing this, Huang Suqiu hurriedly put the medicinal pill into the jade box to prevent an incident.

"Is this..."

Lin Yan's expression was grave. He took the jade box from Huang Suqiu as he narrowed his eyes.

From its medicinal scent alone, he could tell that it was a top-grade spiritual pill, which was the peak of all in existence.

If an ordinary alchemist wanted to refine a medicinal pill like this, he would have to spend half his life researching it. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to succeed.

"This is a Golden Essence Pill. It provides an astonishing amount of Yuan Qi, but it contains a trace of purple soul plants. It has a great effect on my body."

"However, if I can't get more of this purple soul plant, I am afraid that I will die soon!"

"However, the alchemist who had refined the Gold Essence Pills for me had disappeared for no reason. Right now, I'm desperate. I hope that Grandmaster Lin would be able to..."

Lin Yan understood. From what Huang Suqiu told him, she wanted him to refine Golden Essence Pills for her.

He would grant her this favor. After all, why else would he have obtained the recipe for the pill if not for this?

But he couldn't help without asking for anything in return.

Lin Yan couldn't afford to do anything for charity.

He put on a grave face and hesitated. He sighed and said,

"Miss Huang, I'm very sympathetic toward your predicament. It's just that refining pills take up a lot of time and mental energy."

"And I can't help you for no reason, can I? I'll be in trouble!" Lin Yan said calmly.

Seeing Lin Yan's reaction, not only was she not disappointed, she was actually pleased.

She appeared to have anticipated this scenario. She took out a scroll that emitted an ancient aura as she handed it over to Lin Yan.

"This is a copy of the Book of the Divine Thunder. Although it's incomplete and only has one level, it is still a Yellow Rank middle-grade martial art with amazing power!"

She offered, "If you will accept it, I'll give it to you. If you agree, I will owe you a favor!"

Lin Yan's eyes brightened as he stared at the Book of the Divine Thunder in his hand. His heart burned red hot.

Yellow Rank middle-grade!

His Heavenly Sword Finger Technique was only at Yellow Rank low-grade, but after the Show of the Dragon-Devourer's decryption, he already possessed such power.

Once the Shadow of the Dragon Devourer encrypted the Book of the Divine Thunder, wouldn't he be...

Lin Yan was overjoyed. He did not dare to think further. He immediately threw the scroll into his storage ring, stored the Gold Essence Pill, and agreed.

While they walked and chatted, Lin Yan noticed an entourage following Huang Suqiu not far behind them.

One was at the First Stage of the Foundation Realm, the other two were at the Ninth Stage of Body Tempering.

They were so powerful that they could dominate the whole of Sun County.

At the same time, Lin Yan was curious as he had never heard of Huang Suqiu. Just where was she from?

Who was she to have so many people protecting her?
