However, that old guy is at most the first level of the Martial King Realm.
Duan Lingtian can roughly infer this point through the memories of the reincarnated Martial Emperor over two lifetimes.
"What? Is there something wrong?"
Lu Bai saw Duan Lingtian suddenly stop walking, feeling a little lost and lost. He also stopped for a moment and asked curiously.
"nothing."
Duan Lingtian came back to his senses after hearing the sound and shook his head.
He still decided not to tell Lu Bai about his discovery.
If Lu Bai knew that Lu Song was always accompanied by a 'Martial Emperor', he would definitely not be in a good mood.
After all, as long as he still wants to become the next generation head of the Lu family, he must eliminate Lu Song's 'stepping stone'.
If he were to know that Lu Song was protected by the powerful Emperor Wu, he would probably feel desperate.
Seeing that Duan Lingtian had come to his senses and seemed to be worried, although Lu Bai was confused, he did not continue to ask.
He could tell that Duan Lingtian didn't want to say more.
Therefore, he did not intend to force Duan Lingtian to speak.
Soon, under the leadership of Lu Bai, Duan Lingtian walked into the magnificent and tall mansion in front of him and entered the main hall in the middle of the mansion.
In the main hall, there are already people waiting there.
The head of the Lu family, Lu Rui!
"Master of the house."
Seeing Lu Rui, Duan Lingtian smiled and said hello to him, but did not bow and salute like Lu Bai.
If it were another person, Lu Rui would definitely be unhappy.
But this person was Duan Lingtian, who not only made him feel like it was nothing, but also responded with a smile, "Elder Duan."
"Elder Duan, I read through some ancient books and finally found written records about the two medicinal materials you are looking for... In the past two days, I searched many times in the treasure house of my Lu family, and finally found them.
There are several medicinal materials with similar characteristics to them, but I just don’t know if they are what you are looking for.”
Lu Rui said straight to the point.
"Several kinds?"
Hearing Lu Rui's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes brightened and he asked eagerly: "Master, can you take out those medicinal materials and identify them for me?"
Duan Lingtian's words seemed to be mixed with a bit of excitement.
In his opinion.
Since there were several kinds of medicinal materials for him to choose, there might be something he wanted among them.
"sure."
Lu Rui raised his hand and took out seven kinds of medicinal materials.
Three of them are root-shaped medicinal materials that look similar to ginseng, but are quite different.
As for the other four medicinal materials, they are all leaf-shaped medicinal materials.
"Elder Duan, look... hmm? None of them?"
Lu Rui, who was about to hand the seven kinds of medicinal materials to Duan Lingtian, just looked up at Duan Lingtian and saw that Duan Lingtian's face was full of disappointment and he sighed at the same time.
For a moment, he vaguely realized something.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded and said with a wry smile: "Among these medicinal materials, there is no 'soul-stabilizing root' and 'soul-fixing grass' that I want... However, no matter what, I still want to thank the master for working for me."
After talking about it, Duan Lingtian looked grateful.
"Elder Duan is too polite."
Lu Rui said: "My understanding of the 'Soul-Reinforcing Root' and 'Soul-fixing Grass' is limited to rough written records in ancient books, so even if I actually see them, I may not be able to recognize them."
"In our Lu family's treasure house, there are some medicinal materials that meet the characteristics of these two 'Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures' written records, but I have not taken them out together... Otherwise, Elder Duan, come with me, and you can
Check?"
Lu Rui said later and suggested.
"Then I'll thank the master here first."
When Duan Lingtian said this, he undoubtedly agreed and planned to go with Lu Rui to the Lu family treasure house to inspect the medicinal materials inside to see if there was anything he wanted.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Lingtian left the mansion with Lu Rui. As for Lu Bai, he went back to his own mansion and did not follow him.
The Lu Family Treasure House is located to the north of the Lu Family Mansion. It is surrounded by three layers of protection inside and three layers outside. It is full of 'inscription arrays', and some of them are even more powerful 'killing arrays'.
The Lu Family Treasure House is a 'palace' shrouded in many inscriptions. It has only one entrance and exit, and is guarded by an old man himself.
"Elder Duan, head of the family."
The old man was a little surprised when he saw Duan Lingtian and Lu Rui appear together, but he still greeted them warmly.
"Elder Zhi."
Duan Lingtian responded with a smile.
The old man in front of him was no stranger to him. He was none other than 'Lu Zhi', one of the three guardian elders of the Lu family whom he had met a few days ago, a powerful Martial Emperor.
"Elder Zhi, I'll take Elder Duan in to find some medicinal materials."
Lu Rui said to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi nodded, and when he raised his hand, soft power extended out, activating an 'inscription array' at the entrance and exit of the Lu family's treasury.
Creak!
At the same time, the door to the treasure house opened on its own.
Duan Lingtian and Lu Rui walked into the treasure house together. What they saw was a colorful brilliance, but there were piles of jewels in front of them. When the light brought in by Duan Lingtian and the two of them illuminated them, they emitted a brilliant light.
Some of the huge beads were still shining brightly after the light disappeared, illuminating the entire treasure house and making it even more eye-catching.
"Night Pearl!"
Duan Lingtian raised his eyebrows.
"If Elder Duan is interested in these things, feel free to take them."
Lu Rui said cheerfully as if he saw Duan Lingtian's eyes being attracted by the pile of jewelry.
For a family like the 'Beiling Lu Family', the piles of jewelry on the floor are just extremely ordinary decorations with little value.
"I'll just take a look."
Duan Lingtian shook his head, indicating that he was not interested in those things.
"Master, where are the medicinal materials?"
Looking around, Duan Lingtian didn't see any medicinal materials. For a moment, he couldn't help but look at Lu Rui with confusion and asked curiously.
"The medicinal ingredients are inside."
Lu Rui said while leading the way.
The Lu family, in addition to being one of the two strongest families in Beiling, is also the 'alchemist family'.
For an alchemist, the most precious thing, apart from the 'medicine cauldron', is nothing more than the 'medicinal materials' needed to refine elixirs.
Therefore, to the Lu family, medicinal materials are the most precious treasures.
Especially those rare medicinal materials.
Along the way, from the place where the 'jewellery' was stored to the place where the 'medicinal materials' were stored, Duan Lingtian also passed several other places.
In those places, some ancient books, artistic conception fragments, spiritual weapons and other treasures are stored.
"This is it."
As Lu Rui opened the mechanism, a stone door rose in front of him.
The next moment, Duan Lingtian smelled the strong medicinal fragrance coming from inside and quickly entered his nostrils.
For a moment, he felt light all over, as if he had taken some magic pill.
After a moment, he came back to his senses.
"Elder Duan please."
Lu Rui greeted Duan Lingtian and walked into the spacious side hall behind the stone door. There were many medicinal materials stored in the side hall, but it was not possible to take them all in at just one glance.
"Lingxin grass, butterfly flower, traceless stem... so many rare medicinal materials!"
After a while, Duan Lingtian was attracted by the many medicinal materials in the side hall, and he whispered a little uncontrollably.
Although these medicinal materials are not as good as the 'soul-fixing root' and 'soul-fixing grass' that he is eager to get now, they are also relatively rare medicinal materials.
Lu Rui stood aside, not surprised by Duan Lingtian's gaffe.
He still remembers.
When he first came here, he was older than Elder Duan, but his determination was far inferior to that of Elder Duan.
At that time, he was looking at a pile of rare medicinal materials and could not move for a long time.
Later, it was the old master of the family who slapped him to wake him up.
"Master, where are the medicinal materials you mentioned?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Lu Rui and asked.
There are so many medicinal materials here. If he really had to go through them all, it would take at least a few days. Thinking of this, he had a headache and couldn't help but ask Lu Rui.
Now, he just hopes that Lu Rui will take those medicinal materials aside so that he can choose them directly.
"I asked someone to classify the medicinal materials and put them over there."
Lu Rui pointed to a corner of this side hall and said.
When Duan Lingtian heard this, he felt relieved. He immediately walked to the corner of the side hall and pulled open the 'dust-proof cloth' covering a pile of medicinal materials.
After the dust-proof cloth was lifted, Duan Lingtian's eyes suddenly opened up, and dozens of various medicinal materials appeared.
Duan Lingtian took a cursory look and found that the medicinal materials he saw were more or less similar to the 'soul-fixing root' and 'soul-fixing grass' he was looking for.
"The master of the house has taken the trouble."
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian turned to look at Lu Rui and said seriously.
The pile of medicinal materials neatly placed in front of him was obviously collected in the past few days, which was enough to show Lu Rui's good intentions and made Duan Lingtian feel warm in his heart.
Although he is a 'first-grade alchemist', he has not helped the Lu family refine a single elixir since he joined the Lu family a few days ago. It can be said that he has not contributed anything to the Lu family.
Under such circumstances, Lu Rui's contribution to him on behalf of the Lu family made him feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.
"I hope Elder Duan can find what you are looking for."
Lu Rui said with a smile.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded and looked back at the pile of medicinal materials in front of him carefully.
Soon, his eyes froze and fell on one of the medicinal materials, and he could no longer move away.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the side hall became extremely solemn.
Hiss! Hiss!
…
Duan Lingtian's increasingly heavy breathing could only be heard.
The sound of breathing became heavier and heavier, which made Lu Rui couldn't help but feel curious. He stepped out and came to Duan Lingtian's side like the wind, and followed Duan Lingtian's gaze.
At the same time, a root-like medicinal material appeared in front of him.
This root-like medicinal material has all its roots curled together and twisted into a ball, which looks extremely weird.
"This...couldn't this be the 'soul-solidifying root'?"
Lu Rui asked in surprise.
The root-shaped medicinal material in front of him was very different from the description of the 'soul-solidifying root' he had seen in ancient books. The latter did not mention that the 'roots' of the soul-solidifying root would curl together.
"That's right! This is the 'Soul-Reinforcing Root'...and it's not just an ordinary 'Soul-Reinforcing Root'!"
