Then he turned to the stone shelf beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the shelf beside the furnace sat over a dozen jade vials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen opened one; a rich elixir fragrance surged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside lay three pills, the size of dragon’s eyes, entirely crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Red Sun Pills?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen’s heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Red Sun Pills were a supreme healing elixir, especially potent for fire-affinity cultivators, enhancing their cultivation base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by their quality and the spiritual power within, they were at least high-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen was about to take one out, when the three pills suddenly vanished with a soft “puff” inside the vial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen sighed inwardly—these elixirs had aged too long and had long since rotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he disturbed them, they dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened the other jade vials one by one; most were empty, and only a few contained elixirs—some to boost magic power, others to stabilize the spirit—but all, like the Red Sun Pills, vanished the moment opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second chamber was the artifact forging room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from some forging materials and a long-extinguished earth-fire furnace, there was nothing remarkable. Clearly, the Hermit of Canglang was not skilled in artifact forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third chamber was the scripture repository.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chamber was small, containing only a stone bookshelf, upon which sat a few jade slips alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen picked up one and probed it with his spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivation scripture titled “Cangming Immortal Scripture” appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scripture was the Hermit of Canglang’s core inheritance, a supreme water-affinity method directly pointing toward the Jin Xian path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the outside world, it would have sparked bloody battles among countless cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for Su Chen, it held little use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His “Hunyuan Jin Dan Zhen Jie” had been passed down by the Patriarch Bodhi, directly pointing toward Da Luo, its profundity far surpassing the “Canglang Zhen Jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, another’s stone may polish one’s jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen still collected all the jade slips; besides some water-affinity techniques, they contained the Hermit of Canglang’s personal cultivation insights and travel records—useful as supplementary knowledge for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thoroughly exploring all the stone chambers, Su Chen found no particularly astonishing treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chen found it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legacy of a Heavenly Immortal should not be so meager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze returned once more to the skeleton.\u003C\u002Fp>",1201,"2026-06-21T05:42:07.836Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","09bbb2be5a270247a5f0141a31768ec8420b1245bbaf47eba776c279e447ef46","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-35","i-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-chapter-33",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-invincible-and-you-tell-me-this-is-journey-t-cover.jpg"]
