Chapter 638
The cultivators of the Grand Void Palace cleaned the battlefield quickly and efficiently; whether it was useful or not, they took it back first. Many things, even if they were useless, seemed to have great use in Xu Henshui's hands.
Seeing Xu Henshui throwing various residual limbs, broken clothes, and magic treasure fragments into the storage bag, Wei Yuan was a bit curious and asked: "Uncle-Xu Shi, your family has a big business, why pick up these things?"
Xu Henshui said: "These are all excellent pill materials, why not pick them up?"
Wei Yuan asked himself that his pill refining level was just so-so, which was a line stronger than Xu Henshui, but he couldn't see how these things looked like pill materials at all.
Xu Henshui rolled his eyes at him and said: "It's a loss that you have also refined spirit pills; you don't even have this common sense? The 'Supreme Pill Canon' says: 'Heaven and earth are the furnace, Yin and Yang are the charcoal, and all things are copper.' It can be seen that the ultimate realm of the alchemist is to take heaven and earth as the furnace and refine the whole world into a pill; this is the extreme of the pill Dao!
So these things in my hand, theoretically, can all refine pills; if they can't be refined, it can only be said that the level is not enough, not that the pill materials are not good."
Wei Yuan really hadn't read much of the Pill Canon, just read it through roughly; his first time refining pills relied on the Human World Renjian Yanhuo to assist in simulating the perfect pill refining process, and the movements were accurate to the second. The second time relied on the optimized process of the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, also accurate to the second. Then it was constant optimization, constant precision, and so on.
But hearing Xu Henshui say this, Wei Yuan really couldn't help it and said: "Uncle-Xu Shi, is there a possibility that when that ancestor wrote this sentence, it was actually a metaphor?"
Xu Henshui said: "I can know this? But the predecessor pointed out the Dao path, and one doesn't need to be able to do it oneself. And we juniors naturally have to go further than the predecessors on the Dao path pointed out by the predecessors; only then is it the right path. The predecessors dared to think, so we have to dare to do.
In my generation of Xu Henshui, refining a world is impossible, but we have to refine a cave heaven, a small world, or the mountain gate of a certain sect into a furnace of pills, right?"
Wei Yuan never expected that this Uncle-Xu Shi's ambition was so great; refining the world into a furnace was simply re-establishing the earth, fire, water, and wind. Who said alchemists didn't have a heart to destroy the world?
This was a matter for the distant future, so Wei Yuan didn't stop Xu Henshui from picking up trash for the time being. The information given by Lei Dong already included a detailed map around the Dark Iron Mountain; after Wei Yuan actually looked at it once, he confirmed the location of the fortress to be built and guarded.
Numerous cultivators built five or six fortresses within a few miles around the Dark Mountain.
Time was tight, and Wei Yuan didn't have time to dig tunnels, so he put a foundation-realm warrior to guard in each fortress, and then retreated to the Dark Mountain with the cultivators; the crowd built another fortress on top of the Dark Mountain; this place was high and looked down, taking everything within dozens of miles into view.
Wei Yuan now arranged three cannons on the top of the Dark Mountain, pointing in different directions. These cannons were cast from dark iron, extremely sturdy, and the gunpowder was matched with Dao power, with great power, so one cannon could hit dozens of miles away.
Subsequently, Wei Yuan also returned to the Dark Mountain and began to study the painting left by the Shuli incarnation with the cultivators.
After arranging arrays around and the cultivators had made sufficient preparations, Wei Yuan opened the scroll. As the scroll slowly opened in Wei Yuan's hand, a landscape painting appeared, inside which was a city. The city was antique, leaning against the mountain and facing the water, and the style of the buildings in the city tended to be more toward the human race style.
A corner of the city in the painting was burning with fire, many buildings collapsed, the ground was scorched black, and everywhere in the city were Shaman people running back and forth in panic; beside the small square were rows of corpses, and more Shamans were constantly being carried over.
Every dozen breaths, the painting would ripple like water waves, and then the Shaman people in it would change accordingly. Several Shaman warriors were surrounding a burning building to bring rain, and the fire was extinguished little by little. But the fire in other buildings was burning more and more vigorously.
After looking, the cultivators of the Grand Void Palace looked at each other; they probed with divine sense, but only felt a layer of water-like film, and couldn't penetrate it at all. The primordial spirit seemed to be able to pass through and enter the world in the painting, but no one would do so.
Xu Henshui came from a family and had a broad vision, saying: "There should be a small world like a blessed land in the painting, and this painting should be the entrance, not the blessed land itself."
Yu Zhizhuo said: "This is reasonable; otherwise, a blessed land that can be carried around would be at the immortal treasure level. And if immortals knew, they would all take action to compete; this Shuli is just a Gloomy Shaman, how could he have such a treasure?"
Wei Yuan said: "It's just a pity that the Shuli incarnation died too quickly; otherwise, if he could be tortured to reveal the usage of this scroll, it would also be a great harvest. This should be a real world in the painting, not a primordial spirit world."
Feng Tingyu was eager to try: "How about I go in and explore?"
Wei Yuan refused immediately: "No! No one knows what the situation is on that side; this kind of space travel is the most dangerous. Once the entrance appears turbulent when the primordial spirit enters and exits, the primordial spirit may be banished to outside the sky forever, turning into food for monsters outside the sky."
The crowd discussed for a while, and in the end, Wei Yuan decided to use a foundation-realm warrior to go in and explore. Wei Yuan chose a foundation-realm warrior who hadn't opened his wisdom, attached a wisp of divine sense, and then manipulated him to fly into the world in the painting.
The foundation-realm warrior locked onto the scroll, and when approaching, a voice sounded: Do you want to enter the Jade Spring Blessed Land?
"Enter." Wei Yuan responded in his consciousness, and then the picture produced a suction force; the foundation-realm warrior became smaller and smaller, finally turning into the size of a sand grain, and flew into the painting.
Then Wei Yuan cut off the connection with him, and saw the foundation-realm warrior appear in mid-air, falling helplessly, seemingly losing the ability to fly.
He didn't fall to the ground but into a big pit, in which rows of snow-white blades were erected, and a layer of highly corrosive poisonous water rippled at the bottom.
The foundation-realm warrior fell helplessly into the blade pit, was pierced by sharp blades, and subsequently his body was corroded, emitting rolling smoke, and the whole person carbonized rapidly, then turned into nothingness.
Wei Yuan's consciousness felt a slight pain, and he had lost this foundation-realm warrior forever.
The cultivators of the Grand Void Palace had sharp eyes and had already seen that rushing into the scroll was a dead end; those blade pits and acid pools were not prepared for nothing. And after entering the scroll, the foundation-realm cultivator seemed to have lost the ability to fly, and couldn't even use a life-saving Dao technique. Falling into the blade pit was also killed in an instant, just like an ordinary person.
After the maintained Dao power dissipated, the warrior disappeared out of thin air, turned into spiritual energy, and returned to heaven and earth. The crowd stared at Wei Yuan and asked: "What is your feeling?"
Wei Yuan said with a bitter smile: "The connection was cut off the moment I entered the painting; it seems it really traveled into another world."
Zhang Sheng said: "A foundation-realm cultivator who is not weak, after entering, couldn't use any Dao power at all, and didn't even have the instinctual body protection; this shows that the heaven and earth rules of the world inside are extremely powerful, and the restrictions are extremely great; it must not be entered easily. The best way is to find a way to find the correct usage of this treasure."
Sun Yu said: "This mostly falls on the last Shuli incarnation. What should we do next?"
Wei Yuan said: "I will transplant all the immortal orchids given by Uncle-Xu Shi first; they can generate their own domain and replace the kingdom here. Once I get the information of the entire kingdom, we will take this Dark Mountain as the center and extend the domain toward the core of the kingdom; wherever the domain reaches, our firepower will cover."
Zhang Sheng also nodded and said: "However, Shuli is a Gloomy Shaman after all, and this is his kingdom; we must guard against him having other backhands. Everyone should exert some more effort and gather some useful magic treasures. The more magic treasures, the fewer accidents."
Xu Henshui's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "The domain of a single immortal orchid is limited, I'm afraid it is not enough to cover too many places. Do you still want immortal orchids?"
Wei Yuan was unexpectedly pleasantly surprised: "You still have them?"
Xu Henshui nodded and then said: "Three immortal orchids for one ancient immortal pill prescription. If you don't have it, you can owe it first. I will give you nine now!"
Wei Yuan gasped; this time it was truly both surprised and happy. Nine immortal orchids, this number was completely unexpected to him. Although a single immortal orchid was weaker than other immortal plants, it couldn't stand the large quantity!
But the request made by Xu Henshui made Wei Yuan very embarrassed; ancient immortal prescriptions were hard to find, and immortal prescriptions were even harder. That is, the Longevity Pill given by Xiang Hou could be listed as an immortal prescription; this was because its efficacy was the most important longevity.
Encountering one such ancient immortal prescription was an opportunity. What's more, three? However, the request made by Xu Henshui was not excessive at all, so Wei Yuan prepared to grit his teeth and agree. Anyway, he was used to owing debts, and it seemed that the debts he owed didn't need to be repaid.
!
Every time Wei Yuan repaid a part, Ancestor Xuanyue would borrow more, and there were always people borrowing money to him, which made Wei Yuan very strange.
Just as Wei Yuan was preparing to increase his face cultivation, an intention from the girl Yin-Yang suddenly came: "Agree to him!"
"Ah?" Wei Yuan was a bit confused, not understanding why the girl Yin-Yang participated.
"I have an immortal prescription here."
"How many?" Wei Yuan asked with hope.
"As many as you want."
This answer was completely beyond Wei Yuan's expectation: "Where do immortal prescriptions come from?"
"Inheritance left by predecessor immortals."
"Let me see."
"You can't understand." The girl Yin-Yang didn't leave any face for the Creation Immortal Venerable at all.
Seeing Wei Yuan agree, Xu Henshui showed a look of "as expected", and then said he would hand the immortal orchids to Wei Yuan after returning. After the crowd discussed, they finally recognized Wei Yuan's strategy of advancing step by step and defending with firepower coverage. At the same time, they hurried to study the Gloomy Cold Realm, especially the kingdom, to enrich the Dao collection of the Grand Void Palace.
Subsequently, Wei Yuan acted with double caution, especially strictly forbidding Feng Tingyu from going out. Feng Tingyu promised on the surface, but as soon as the crowd dispersed, she quietly found Wei Yuan and questioned why she wasn't allowed to go out and play.
Wei Yuan knew she had this idea, but now there was only one Shuli incarnation left, and who knew what backhands he still had? So Wei Yuan was especially guarding against him jumping over the wall in a hurry, so he naturally didn't dare to let any Grand Void Palace cultivator go out to take risks.
So Wei Yuan said to Feng Tingyu: "There is a very fun thing you can try. That is to practice handling multiple tasks at the same time in the Human World Renjian Yanhuo. The more tasks you can handle at the same time, the more you can exercise your spirituality! It is very good for the development of Dharma Form in the future. Do you want to try it first and see how many you can do at the same time?"
Feng Tingyu was indeed very interested: "Have others played it?"
"They play it every day!" Wei Yuan said solemnly.
"Good, then I will try it too." Feng Tingyu jumped and jumped into the Human World Renjian Yanhuo, making Wei Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. Until Feng Tingyu left, Wei Yuan remembered one thing: she didn't return the magic blade.
Everything followed the plan, and Wei Yuan was also waiting, waiting for the Dream Eater to come and find him.
