Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 260 Night Visit to the Imperial Preceptor's Palace

Dressed in a jet-black outfit, Su Yue lurked silently in the shadows like a ghost in the night.

Once she was sure there was no one else around, Su Yue flashed and leaped over the three-meter-high wall.

It landed almost without making a sound.

She moved with lightning speed, rushing towards the top floor of the palace.

Throughout the journey, she remained highly vigilant, not only watching out for the patrol personnel moving back and forth, but also constantly on guard against any hidden sentries that might be lurking in the trees.

However, even in such a tense and exciting situation, Su Yue couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before her eyes. The Imperial Preceptor's Hall was simply too luxurious and magnificent.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the most prestigious and magnificent place in the capital.

Without needing to guess, Su Yue knew that the Imperial Preceptor must be here. Just as she was carefully making her way forward and was about to reach the Imperial Preceptor's Hall, a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly wafted over.

"Hmm? Someone's actually refining pills! And judging by the concentration of the fragrance, it must be almost finished. Hehe, I'll go take a look." Su Yue thought to herself, and then changed direction without hesitation.

With her keen sense of smell, Su Yue quickly followed the aroma of the pills to a somewhat dilapidated courtyard.

As they drew closer, the scent of the medicinal pills grew stronger.

Su Yue couldn't help but take another deep breath, then nodded vigorously, saying to herself with absolute certainty, "That's right, this is it!"

Perhaps it was because everyone believed that no one would be so audacious as to dare to trespass into the heavily guarded Imperial Preceptor's Hall, let alone come to steal the alchemist's pills.

Therefore, the number of patrol personnel here is noticeably small, especially near the alchemy furnace.

Apart from the two drowsy and listless guards standing watch outside the door, there was only one person inside the room focused on alchemy.

In this way, it would be incredibly easy for Su Yue to get in.

She didn't even need to go to great lengths to display any profound martial arts skills; she simply picked up a few inconspicuous pebbles from the ground and flicked them away lightly.

The two small stones flew out like lightning, striking the pressure points of the two guards at the entrance with perfect accuracy.

In an instant, before they could even react, they collapsed limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Su Yue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Immediately afterwards, she moved nimbly and quickly to the door, reached out and lifted the two unconscious guards off the ground like chicks, one in each hand.

She then stepped effortlessly into the courtyard and carefully closed the gate again.

However, just in case, fearing that the two people might suddenly wake up, Su Yue did not hesitate to strike again, giving each of them a heavy punch on the back.

After doing all that, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Su Yue tiptoed closer to the crack in the door and peered inside through the narrow gap.

At first glance, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge alchemy furnace that is as tall as two people.

At that moment, the person refining pills happened to have his back to Su Yue, completely focused on his work.

Although Su Yue had read many books and jade slips about alchemy in the space, none of the alchemy methods recorded there were the same as those of the person in front of her.

It must be said that this person's alchemy method was quite unique. Although his alchemy skills were quite impressive, the success rate of his pills was really low, and it could be said to be rather unsatisfactory.

Su Yue stood quietly outside the door, her eyes fixed intently on the closed door, silently calculating the time in her mind.

She knew that refining pills would take a lot of effort and time. Finally, when a slight sound came from inside, Su Yue keenly sensed that the pills had been refined.

She quickly took out a lit incense stick from her storage space and slipped it through the crack in the door.

After a short while, there was no more movement inside the house.

After confirming that the person inside had completely fainted, Su Yue nimbly flipped over the window and landed lightly inside the house.

Upon entering the room, she first went to the alchemy furnace and examined it carefully.

This alchemy furnace has an antique design and emits a faint medicinal fragrance.

Su Yue circled the furnace a few times, then reached out and opened the lid, taking out the two pills that had just been refined.

She gently picked up one of the pills and examined it closely by the candlelight.

The pill was not perfectly round and smooth; its surface was somewhat pitted and uneven, but it was a pale red color.

Su Yue leaned closer and took a sniff; a strong medicinal smell wafted up.

However, after examining it, she discovered that it was just an ordinary blood-tonifying pill, nothing special to her.

"I really don't even look at such low-grade pills!" Su Yue muttered.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he tossed the pill into his spatial storage.

At this time, Snow White in the space was pregnant again. This pill was very beneficial to her, as it could replenish her nutrition and help her give birth to healthy cubs.

The medicinal power of the pills in the space was too strong for it, and Bai Xue was already quite old and couldn't withstand it at all.

After feeding the pill to Bai Xue, Su Yue's gaze fell on the pill furnace again.

She thought to herself: This stove looks pretty good, I'll take it home and practice using it.

So, without hesitation, she also put the pill furnace into her spatial storage.

Then, Su Yue began to walk around the house, looking for anything else worth taking.

The room was small, and apart from some ordinary furniture such as tables and chairs, there wasn't much useful stuff.

Then, with a swift movement, she gracefully flipped out of the window.

After landing, she crouched down and ran towards the direction of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall.

Before long, she arrived at the foot of the Imperial Preceptor's Hall.

At this moment, Su Yue did not act rashly, but hid in the shadows to observe the surrounding movements and patiently waited for the best opportunity.

Finally, during a break between guards' shifts, she seized the opportunity, leaped up, and successfully flipped into the Imperial Preceptor's Hall.

Upon entering the hall, the first thing that catches the eye is the spacious and solemn main hall.

Two long benches, one tall and one short, were placed on a high platform in the center of the main hall.

However, this seemingly ordinary hall actually hides a secret.

Looking up, one can see that the roof is inlaid with more than fifty luminous pearls that emit a soft glow.

These luminous pearls, like twinkling stars, illuminated the entire hall, making it bright and dazzling.

Looking at the other furnishings in the room, they seem plain at first glance, but with a little attention you can find that they are all made of the finest materials.
