At this moment, all the cultivators present held their breath and stared at the golden and bronze door with a gap exposed.
Lu Changan stood behind everyone and faintly smelled a hint of old medicinal herbs.
"Could it be a warehouse where herbs and elixirs are stored?"
Mr. Hu's beard trembled slightly and his eyes were bright.
The six gates of this palace probably correspond to six categories of storage treasures.
If the first one to crack is the secret warehouse of a pharmacy, you will have good luck.
"Little friend Lu, please send out the puppets to give it a try."
Master Hu and Master Tan had a brief exchange, suppressing their inner excitement and urgency.
The more critical this moment is, the less urgent it is.
"Lu's detection puppets have been used up, and the puppets used later are more valuable. These losses..."
Lu Changan said hesitantly.
"Don't worry! Master Tan and I will fully compensate you for the puppets that were lost in the secret realm. You will be able to choose more when you enter the pharmacy treasure house later."
Mr. Hu assured readily.
"I hope real people keep their promises."
Lu Changan nodded, took out a late second-level heavy armor puppet, and controlled it to reach the golden and bronze gate.
The heavily armored puppet used his palms to slowly push open the gold and bronze door, and then stepped in.
His figure was quickly swallowed up by the indoor light like a night pearl.
The material and formation of the hexagonal palace building itself have the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness.
Even the real person cannot be found outside.
"It is indeed a medicine warehouse."
As a puppet master, Lu Changan has a connection with the puppets and can receive some basic information feedback.
Not long after, the heavily armored puppet came back and brought back an empty medicine basket.
"good."
Master Tan was so happy that his body turned into an afterimage and quickly flew into the treasure house.
"Master Tan!"
Master Hu's expression changed. He originally planned to let a foundation-building monk go in to investigate, but he didn't expect Master Tan to rush in first.
Tan Zhenren is the strongest. If he is allowed to get the most important opportunity first, he will be passive.
After Tan Zhenren entered, the ban was not triggered.
Seeing this, Master Hu also ducked into the medicine storehouse.
Girl Wei with long hair and gauze skirt followed closely behind.
The young man with a high nose who was at the peak of foundation building and the old man in his sixties who were in the middle stage of foundation building stood outside the door and did not go in.
The two of them always paid attention to Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi.
Since entering the ruins, the two real people have not allowed Lu Changan and Shi Manrong to act alone.
After all, there are still some unexplored dangerous areas in the ruins. If the two of them are allowed to act, there is no guarantee that uncontrollable variables will not occur.
"Friend Lu Dao, don't you go in and take a look?"
Shi Manrong was a little moved and found that Lu Changan was standing still with a lazy expression.
"There's no need to rush. There's no point in rushing."
Lu Changan smiled.
Fairy Master was thoughtful. If you are not strong enough, even if you get the rare elixir first, it will be difficult to keep it.
"Friend Lu Dao, the formation gate opened this time is completely different from the one temporarily opened by Master Qi back then."
While the two real men were searching the medicine warehouse, Shi Manrong sent a message.
"Oh, you mean, the formation gate that was broken back then was not among these six?"
"Yes! Master Qi discovered this ruins earlier. He has been exploring it for a while before I did. He may have mastered key information that we don't know."
Shi Manrong nodded and said.
The two only communicated briefly.
Lu Changan was outside and asked the rock rat to follow Shi Manrong into the treasure house.
The earth rock rat has a more sensitive sense of smell. Through the contract with its spiritual pet, Lu Changan learned the general situation in the medicine warehouse.
The space inside the medicine warehouse is larger than estimated from the outside.
It is divided into several areas, with hundreds of medicine cabinets on display, stacked upward from the ground and extending dozens of feet high.
However, more than 90% of medicine cabinets are empty.
The two people, Zhenren and Miss Wei, who entered first, found some medicinal materials and bottles containing pills and potions.
However, most of the medicinal materials have withered and decayed.
A small number of medicinal materials and elixirs were relatively well preserved under the ban, but their medicinal properties were greatly lost.
"Foundation Building Pill? It's a pity that most of the medicinal properties have been lost."
Miss Wei held a jade bottle, poured out the dim elixir inside, and shook her head regretfully.
In this medicine storehouse, second-level elixirs are relatively common.
Occasionally, you can see third-level elixirs and medicinal materials.
Lu Changan had already been mentally prepared for this situation.
This ancient ruins, as a refuge or a backup treasure house, must have been abandoned very early and forgotten over the long years.
Before the evacuation, most of the precious treasures that were easy to carry here were taken away by their owners.
Even if there are secretly preserved treasures, they should be hidden in a dark place, rather than being located in such a conspicuous warehouse and being conquered by a third-level array mage with fake alchemy cultivation.
…
After half a day of exploration.
The disappointment on the faces of the two real people became more and more obvious.
It’s not that there was no gain.
Some of the medicinal materials and elixirs obtained in the medicine storehouse are a rare treasure even if the loss of medicinal properties is taken into account. It is easy to sell them for tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
Less than half of the huge medicine storehouse has been explored.
However, this is far from the psychological expectations of the two real people.
What they want is an opportunity for the fake elixir to go further.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are spiritual beings from heaven and earth that allow fake elixirs to be transformed smoothly, and even rare elixirs refined by humans.
This is extremely rare in today's world of immortality. In earlier times, it was relatively easy to obtain.
Judging from the current situation, this abandoned medicine warehouse cannot contain such precious items.
"Rat! Leave the demon pill for me!"
Suddenly, a loud shout like spring thunder came from the treasure house.
Squeak!
The rock rat flew out in panic, holding a dark purple elliptical sphere in its mouth, about the size of an adult's fist.
"Third level demon pill?"
Lu Changan's consciousness swept over and saw the origin of this object.
Because the demon pill is covered in dust, its specific origin and quality cannot be revealed for the time being.
The inner elixirs of monsters can often be used as materials for alchemy, and it is normal for them to appear in the medicine warehouses of ancient ruins.
"Little friend Lu, ask your spiritual pet to hand over the third-level demon pill."
Master Tan chased him out with a bad tone.
The Earth Rock Rat handed the demon pill to Lu Changan and hid behind his master in fear.
Lu Changan took the demon pill and made a preliminary assessment that it should be left by a big demon in the middle to late third level.
It's a pity that the demonic power has been seriously lost, and it is not of earth attribute.
"Little friend Lu, this is not something you should take."
Master Hu also came out of the treasure house. Perhaps it did not meet his expectations. His face was gloomy and his tone showed dissatisfaction.
"If Mr. Lu remembers correctly, Master Hu just promised to make up for the loss of the puppet. After entering the medicine warehouse, you can also choose one more item."
Lu Changan held the demon pill and said slowly and calmly.
Mr. Hu's expression froze and he explained: "Those are two different things! When the ruins are almost fully explored, we can settle the compensation together."
"Why shouldn't Lu choose this thing?"
"The value of the third-level demon elixir cannot be simply exchanged for one share."
Master Hu chuckled and said, "Otherwise, you and Master Tan will both have a share of this demon pill, and I will keep it for now."
"also."
Lu Changan thought for a while and threw the demon pill to Master Hu.
The two real people are in a very bad mood now. If they fall out at this moment, they will start a war in advance, which will not be conducive to his plan.
Master Hu took the demon pill, examined it with his spiritual consciousness, and showed a hint of joy.
Demonic elixirs with good blood and quality are strategic resources in the world of immortal cultivation. They can be traded with true elixir monks and sect forces for rare spiritual items that can help transform elixirs.
Squeak!
The rock rat rubbed Lu Changan's clothes, looking a little aggrieved.
Lu Changan touched its head and cast a comforting look.
In fact, due to the incompatible attributes of this demon elixir, it is not particularly helpful to the Earth Rock Rat.
It just expresses its dissatisfaction with having its achievements taken away from it.
"Little friend Lu, you can go to the medicine store and choose an item by yourself."
Master Hu put away the demon pill and said generously.
Lu Changan did not refuse, and went to the medicine storehouse with the Earth Rock Rat again.
At this time, only two-thirds of the medicine library had been explored.
Lu Changan's spiritual consciousness, experience, and even the earth rock rat's sense of smell have advantages that outsiders don't know about when it comes to obtaining high-value items.
Half an hour later.
Lu Changan found a black medicine jar on the top floor of the medicine store. He recognized it briefly and put it away in his storage bag calmly.
The two real people noticed this scene and didn't care much.
In this medicine library, all pills and medicines have greatly lost their medicinal properties.
The black medicine jar Lu Changan obtained, even if it was a rare third-level medicine, was not worth much.
…
After a whole day, the exploration of the medicine storehouse was completed.
Although it did not meet expectations, the value of the harvest was considerable, and the expressions of the two real people softened.
Lu Changan winked at Shi Xianzi.
Shi Manrong understood and took the initiative to exchange ideas with Master Hu on how to break the formation next.
"You're saying that there might be a hidden formation gate above this palace?"
Hu Zhenren raised his head and looked at the top of the hexagonal palace building, where a pair of halos were suspended, with a blue crystal ball in the center, releasing surging spiritual power.
"My guess is that the area guarded by these six gates is so conspicuous that it should be just an ordinary warehouse. The real treasure house should be hidden in the dark."
Shi Xianzi analyzed it rationally.
"The six formation gates are connected end to end, and no hidden formation gates have been found..."
Master Hu looked puzzled and fell into deep thought.
"Hey! The center of the six formation gates should be where the formation eye is? The formation eye is hidden very deep and is protected by the six formation gates. If there is a hidden formation gate, then it can only be..."
An idea suddenly came to Mr. Hu's mind. After discussing with Shi Xianzi for a while, he came to a preliminary conclusion.
Master Shixianzi's clear eyes moved, as if she had some realization.
"Everyone, please stand back."
Master Hu and Master Tan exchanged a few words via voice transmission, and said to the five foundation-building monks.
Lu Changan had a strange expression on his face, and together with Shi Xianzi and others, he stepped back more than ten feet.
I saw Mr. Hu in front taking out a rusty copper token from his storage bag.
"Half a year ago, I got this thing from under a corpse in the ruins. I don't know its purpose and there is no response."
Hu Zhenren looked solemn and thought to himself.
He held the bronze token in his hand and glanced at the several foundation-building monks behind him, showing hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, if your conjecture is true, it is best not to let outsiders try it. Maybe there is only one chance."
Tan Zhenren said in a message.
"If Fellow Daoist Hu doesn't dare, it's better to let Tan take the risk." His words showed his courage to take the lead.
"Master Tan doesn't understand the formation, so let Hu do it."
Hu Zhenren sighed and finally made a decision.
Mr. Tan smiled and did not argue hard. This kind of attempt was risky.
As a fake elixir master, the future is bleak. If there is an opportunity to go further, many people are willing to give it a try.
Hu Zhenren held the bronze token in his hand, placed it in his sleeve robe, and quietly injected the elixir power into it.
The token is still unresponsive.
Hu Zhenren closed his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face.
Through the token, he felt the hidden seventh gate, located in the center of the hexagonal palace building.
"One of the six outer formation gates is the best breakthrough."
After a long time, Master Hu opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed past him.
Don't wait for Master Tan to ask.
He took a step forward, took out the Forbidden Breaking Pearl, and struck it towards the gap in the formation above the golden and bronze gate.
The Forbidden Breaking Pearl turned into a twisted black and white beam of light, passing through the formation flaw behind the formation gate, stirring up a blue-red flame.
boom!
The light formation above the hexagonal palace building opened a large hole.
At the other end of the large hole, there was a foreign-like glimpse of light, which was projected into Hu Zhenren's eyes.
That scene was obscured by the chaotic light of the formation, and the monks behind could not see it clearly.
"Is it a small space created by man? It is the location of a secret vault of ancient ruins?"
Lu Changan looked at the big hole from a distance. Although he couldn't see clearly what was inside, he noticed signs of overlapping spaces.
Similar breath leakage is similar to when the Qingming Secret Realm is opened, but it is much weaker.
"As expected of a senior level three formation mage, he is more stable and precise than Master Qi back then, and can break through vital points with one blow."
Shi Manrong remembered the details and sighed secretly.
…
"Yin Yang water... fine crystal condensation elixir..."
Hu Zhenren exclaimed, with ecstasy in his eyes. Under the light of the shattered formation, his face was uncertain.
He was so excited that he picked up the protective shield, held the bronze token in his hand, and flew to the large hole where the formation glowed.
The bronze token shimmers red.
The formation light around Master Hu condensed into a large blue and white net, covering him in a vortex shape.
"Master Hu, be careful!"
Master Tan's pupils shrank and he immediately waved the golden rope of the magic weapon he had prepared in advance.
Whoosh!
The golden rope was like a golden-scaled snake, instantly wrapping around Mr. Hu's waist and pulling him backwards.
There was a flash of light and shadow.
Mr. Hu's short body was dragged back.
Taking a closer look, Mr. Tan's heart felt chilly.
The golden rope of the best magic weapon in his hand was broken inch by inch.
The Mr. Hu who was pulled back turned out to be a charred corpse.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly. If I were swallowed up by that formation trap, I would die without resurrecting..."
A hoarse voice with lingering fear came.
Whoosh!
The charred corpse turned into a blackened scarecrow.
The pale-faced Mr. Hu stood up from under the scarecrow that had been carbonized into powder.
"A strange object that can bear injuries for one's life?"
Lu Changan's eyes looked strange. Da Kun had only seen such magical props twice in his previous life.
Of course, such life-saving props often have a certain upper limit.
If Master Tan had not taken action just now, Master Hu would not have been able to escape.
"Master Hu, what happened with the scene just now? Do the 'yin and yang water' and 'fine crystal condensation pills' you mentioned really exist?"
Master Tan was breathing heavily and couldn't help but ask.
"The other end of the formation hole that I just broke open leads to a small independent space. There, I saw the scenery of an ancient garden, and there were stone platforms covered by light masks."
"Light mask stone platform?"
The minds of all the cultivators present were drawn away.
"On every stone platform, there is a treasure floating on it, with its name and purpose engraved on it..."
Master Hu stated in a low voice, and the subsequent content was blocked by the soundproof cover set up by Master Tan.
"Master Hu, looking at the way you lost your composure just now, I suspect you were affected by an illusion."
Tan Zhenren said bluntly.
"Illusion? If it is really an illusion, I will be able to distinguish it after I wake up. But the scene just now was completely witnessed with my own eyes, and there is no flaw..."
Master Hu took the elixir, shook his head and said.
"Two real people."
Outside the soundproof enclosure, Lu Changan came over here.
"What's the matter with you?"
The conversation between the two real people was interrupted, and they looked worried.
Lu Changan noticed the increasingly cold attitudes of the two real people.
After conquering the ancient ruins to this point, he and Shi Xianzi had little use value left.
"Master Hu, I would like to remind you that the token you used to sense the hidden formation just now..."
Lu Changan lowered his voice and said.
Although the voice was small, everyone else heard it.
"Token? Not good!"
When Hu Zhenren realized it, his expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously touched his body, but couldn't find it.
"The token is missing?"
The two real people and several foundation-building monks couldn't help but cast their eyes towards the place where the hexagonal palace building broke the formation.
"Hu Zhenren, please heal your injuries first, and Tan will help you look for it."
Master Tan said kindly.
Having said that, head over there first.
How can Mr. Hu sit still?
Enduring the pain, he stood up and turned around to chase Master Tan.
At this moment, he sensed a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
laugh--
A shadowless needle light, exuding a sharp aura that was almost like a magic weapon, passed through Hu Zhenren's vest to his chest.
"Well……"
Hu Zhenren's body froze and he turned around with difficulty, his face full of disbelief.
