Upon returning to the Li Family estate, Li Gewen immediately instructed Li Lanming, the estate's steward, to retrieve the archives concerning Alchemical Cultivation. Li Lanming was a middle-aged man in his forties who lacked a right arm—a detail that caught Yu Biyue's special attention. For a family renowned for their swordsmanship, the loss of an arm was a fatal blow.
Li Lanming led the two of them to an old book repository. An elderly man stepped out from within to welcome them. The interior was thick with dust and draped in spiderwebs. Producing a key, the old man unlocked a cabinet.
"Second Young Master, why this sudden interest in Alchemical Cultivation? It's strictly forbidden here at the Peak of Yunxiao. You may look, but you must not practice it."
