Ning Chen, along with Han Yu and others, began to break the formation, and he himself was feeling the trends and changes of the formation anytime and anywhere, corroborating what he had learned, but there was no progress.
The few people just relied on the golden leaves to gradually advance through the maze. Fortunately, this was an abandoned cave with no owner. Otherwise, if there was an owner, they would have been killed many times by the owner's killing array.
Five days later, with Ke Fengzi being the first to step into the valley, everyone finally found a safe passage through the maze.
Just entering the valley, Ning Chen couldn't help but his eyes lit up. The spiritual energy in the valley was obviously much richer than that in the outside world. It seemed that the owner of the valley had also arranged a spirit gathering array here.
The layout in the valley was similar to what Ning Chen had seen in the sky before, but now that he was closer, Ning Chen saw that there were actually many spiritual plants and weeds coexisting in the abandoned medicinal fields, but they were all yellow-level and low-grade.
Spiritual plants and other high-level spiritual plants have long since withered. This is because it is difficult for higher-level spiritual plants to survive without special environment or human care. On the contrary, these low-level spiritual plants have low requirements and can be preserved.
Although these spiritual plants also have some value, everyone's eyes are still focused on the two wooden houses and the cave behind the houses. If there are any good things here, they must be among these three buildings.
"If Lingzhi is not busy dividing it up, let's go first and take a look at these rooms." Han Yu suggested.
Several people looked at each other, nodded in agreement, and walked towards the first house together. However, everyone was extremely vigilant during the walk. Although the owner was not there, they didn't know if their unscrupulous actions would trigger anything again.
Array prohibition.
But obviously everyone's worries were unnecessary. They inspected both wooden houses, and no formation restrictions were triggered. It seems that as long as they enter the valley through the maze formation, it will be safe. Ning Chen thought the same, this is the valley
It is enough to install a security door where the owner lives. Who would put traps everywhere in their house, for fear of accidentally injuring themselves?
The layout of the two wooden houses seemed to be wing rooms for people to live in. A few people only found a few scattered medicine bottles in the wooden house on the left. However, the elixirs inside had long been rotten. After removing the corks of the medicine bottles, they emitted
Waves of stench made Aiqinyi frown at the smell.
"It seems that this valley owner is an alchemist who lives in seclusion in Cangshan Mountain." Han Yu said happily, "Then there should be a lot of harvest in the cave behind, and maybe there is also his recipe for alchemy."
The relics of the senior alchemist are a good harvest, and there are formations here to protect it. It is not like the cave that the valley owner took the initiative to abandon, so a good quality alchemy furnace must have not escaped. If you are lucky, you can still harvest it.
Some elixirs are even the most valuable elixirs.
Casual cultivators have no money, but there are no poor alchemists. Pills are the most important consumables for cultivators. Whether they are to assist cultivation or to achieve realm, they need to be taken, let alone someone like the one who wants to marry Su Zhixuan.
Disciples from aristocratic families rely on elixirs for daily practice.
Therefore, any alchemist who can stably refine elixirs is a wealthy person in the world of cultivation.
The threshold for becoming an alchemist is extremely high. Not only does it require one's own talent, a large amount of resources are consumed and cultivated in the early stage, but it also requires a large amount of knowledge and practical experience. In addition, refining elixirs is also a long-term study process.
Therefore, alchemists are actually extremely rare in the cultivation world.
An alchemist's elixir recipe is not just a recipe for refining elixirs. It also includes the processing of medicinal materials, refining steps, fire control, technique control, and a lot of his own insights into alchemy. It can be said that he has learned all his life. The essence of the medicine, such as the Qixuan Biochemistry Pill that Ning Chen bought, there may be ten alchemy masters who can refine the pill recipe. Although it is generally the same, there are many differences in the details.
Therefore, the alchemists all paid close attention to their own elixir recipes. Ning Chen didn't even see a single elixir recipe on the list in Cangyang Tower at that time.
In addition to communicating with each other, alchemists also particularly hope to obtain other people's alchemy recipes, which means that they can quickly obtain a large amount of refining experience from another alchemist.
Because of the scarcity and wealth of alchemists, the price of elixirs was extremely high. No wonder Han Yu was delighted when he discovered that this was an alchemist's cave.
Everyone looked at each other and rushed towards the cave in unison.
The corridor inside the cave is less than two feet, and the innermost part is the alchemy room. Ning Chen saw a bronze alchemy furnace facing him at the entrance of the cave. There were two side rooms on both sides of the corridor. As soon as everyone entered the corridor, they found the one on the left There is a skeleton sitting on a futon in the side room.
The cave is full of dust. It seems to be the place where the Valley Master practices. There is a futon in the center with nothing else around. The skeleton has long since decayed, and only a few rags are still hanging on the body. Each of his left and right hands holds a jade slip.
Several people looked at each other, but no one came forward. Finally, Hu Yiran said, "Everyone has a share in this jade slip. I'll put it away first. When we get out, we can look at it one by one."
Aiqinyi and the others seemed a little hesitant. They had never encountered this kind of situation before, but they were also old acquaintances who had worked together many times. Seeing that what Hu Yiran said made sense, they didn't object.
Hu Yiran saw that everyone acquiesced, so he stepped forward and took the two jade slips into his arms, and then carefully inspected the practice room. After confirming that there were only these two jade slips, Hu Yiran reluctantly left the cave.
The cave on the right is even more fruitless. It is the place where the elixirs are stored. Like the elixirs outside, they are all rotten.
Ning Chen had heard that there were high-level elixirs that could last for ten thousand years, and even the elixirs were naturally formed, and became stronger the more they were used. However, these elixirs in front of him were obviously not among them. The yellow-level elixirs that could last for hundreds of years were already their limit, and looking at With his skeletal appearance, it was obvious that he had been dead for more than a hundred years.
There was only the last alchemy room left. In fact, except for the bronze alchemy furnace, everyone had no hope. However, as soon as they stepped into the alchemy room, everyone seemed to have passed through an air curtain. This air curtain completely separated the alchemy room from the outside world. open.
"It smells so good, what a smell!" said Duan Long, who was the first to enter.
"The medicinal fragrance is the elixir!" Han Yu pointed to the corner and said.
This alchemy room is larger than the two caves combined. In addition to a bronze alchemy furnace in the middle, there is also a stone platform on the west wall with five porcelain bottles neatly placed on it.
"It's not the elixir, it's the elixir furnace." Ning Chen shook his head and said, the fragrance that filled the room came from the elixir furnace.
I saw that the alchemy furnace was placed in the middle of the cave. It was about five feet high and had three legs without ears. The lid of the furnace was engraved with relief sculptures of herbs, which were lifelike. There was also a fire-control array on the ground at the bottom of the furnace. Although it had been there for many years, No, but it still sealed an underground fire channel that leads directly to the underground fire veins.
"It's an alchemy furnace. It's so powerful. Just by the scent of this medicine, even if it's just a yellow-level alchemy furnace, it can still be sold for the price of a black-level alchemy furnace!" Ai Qinyi obviously knows something about the alchemy furnace. "Just based on it.
The medicinal properties accumulated in the alchemy furnace will allow the alchemist to produce a few more elixirs."
Hearing Ai Qinyi's words, Han Yu and others' eyes visibly heated up. You must know that the price difference between the Huang-level pill furnace and the Xuan-level pill furnace is not just a little, but ten times different!
