Chapter 374

Hearing Gao Yuyao say this, Song Qingming couldn't help but look at the Baoguang Tripod in her hand a few more times, discovering that this magic tool was also a rare second-tier top-quality magic tool. If it could still be used as a second-tier top-quality pill furnace for refining pills, then the value of this item would far exceed ordinary magic tools of the same tier.

A second-tier top-quality pill furnace, even in a large market like Yangshan Market, was rarely seen. The number of cultivators in the entire State of Wei who possessed such a treasure was estimated to be no more than ten. If only talking about the price of spirit stones, this Baoguang Tripod was estimated to be even more precious than the Azure Water Bell in Song Qingming's hand.

Seeing Gao Yuyao's appearance of being unable to put down the Baoguang Tripod, Duan Xueyi on the side could only smile helplessly, turned around, and said to Song Qingming and his companion:

"Since we have already agreed beforehand, I think this item should be kept by Junior Sister Gao first. After we leave here, we will distribute it again. You two Fellow Daoists have no objections, right!"

Although Fang Wuqian's eyes hadn't left the Baoguang Tripod, he had always been obedient to Duan Xueyi's words along the way, so he nodded immediately to indicate no objections.

"Just as the Fairy said, I have no objections!" Song Qingming also followed Fang Wuqian and replied with a smile.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Gao Yuyao generously put the Baoguang Tripod into her storage bag, and then the four turned around and left, looking at other positions in the hall to see if there were any missed treasures.

Having obtained a treasure like the Baoguang Tripod as soon as they entered, everyone's faces were now filled with smiles, full of anticipation for other treasures in the cave dwelling.

This cave dwelling could use a second-tier top-quality magic tool as a formation eye; it seemed that what Gao Yuyao said on the hairpin was not false. This place was very likely to have been a Core Formation cultivator's cave dwelling.

However, after the group searched a circle, they discovered that besides this Baoguang Tripod in the hall, there were only some rotten books and sundries that were difficult to distinguish, and no other spirit items of value appeared.

It looked like no one had entered here for at least several hundred years. What exactly the senior had left in the cave dwelling was truly hard to say.

Fortunately, besides these useless things in the cave dwelling hall, there were also three tightly closed stone gates, which looked like places for the cave dwelling owner to meditate, refine pills, or refine tools. There was still a very high probability of finding good things.

"Everyone, this stone gate is a bit sturdy. Let me handle the matter of opening the gate!" After Fang Wuqian finished speaking, under the expectant gaze of the crowd, he patted the spirit beast bag at his waist and released a green ox with a huge body.

This green ox demon beast looked like its level was not high, only a first-tier top-quality demon beast, but it was incomparably powerful when it moved. Seeing it take a few steps back, it quickly began to sprint forward, and its huge body instantly crashed into the first stone gate.

Only hearing a "rumbling" sound that shook the earth and mountains, that stone gate was easily smashed into a pile of rubble by Fang Wuqian's green ox demon beast, just like a wooden board.

Seeing that his spirit beast didn't let everyone down, Fang Wuqian stepped forward quickly, waved his sleeves, cast a spell to release a burst of light wind to blow away the dust that had risen in front, and then made a "please" gesture to the crowd with a smiling face.

"Hehe! Everyone, please!"

The four walked forward one after another. After entering the first stone gate and seeing the scene inside clearly, Song Qingming and the others revealed expressions of surprise one after another.

"This, seems to be a spirit medicine garden?"

Unexpectedly, behind this stone gate, a spirit medicine garden with a very large area was hidden, which truly surprised the four, and they couldn't help but let out a sigh of exclamation one after another.

The space of this spirit medicine garden was much larger than the hall outside. The ground, which was over ten zhang in radius, was planted with all kinds of immortal herbs and spirit medicines, and the spiritual energy inside was also much denser than outside.

However, what was somewhat regrettable was that because no one had taken care of these herbs here for a long time, the vast majority had already lost their spiritual energy and withered. Only in the middle position were there some spirit medicines left, emitting spiritual light.

The four ignored the spirit medicines around that were of no value and went directly to the middle position of the spirit field, discovering that the spiritual energy here was even more abundant than in other places. It seemed that a formation like a spirit-gathering formation had been specially set up under the spirit field.

In this small area, a total of eight spirit medicines were planted. Although Song Qingming couldn't recognize their names at a glance, judging from the aura emitted by the spirit medicines, the quality of these spirit medicines was not low; they were at least second-tier spirit medicines or above.

Especially the two snow-white spirit flowers on the far left—Song Qingming looked at their grade and felt they seemed to be about the same as the third-tier Sky-Mang Flowers he had seen when he picked herbs with the Huang family before. It was very likely that they were also third-tier spirit medicines.

Before Song Qingming could recognize this item, Gao Yuyao on the side saw these two spirit flowers and suddenly shouted loudly with joy: "Could this be a third-tier Snow Dragon Flower? Senior Sister Duan, I shouldn't have recognized it wrong, right? I didn't expect that there were actually two third-tier spirit medicines hidden here."

"Fellow Daoist Gao, you said these two spirit medicines are third-tier spirit medicines? Then we have truly had great luck this time." Fang Wuqian on the side heard Gao Yuyao's shout and also became excited.

"Not bad! It is indeed a third-tier Snow Dragon Flower. It's just a pity that these two spirit medicines have been unattended for a long time, and their spirituality has been damaged somewhat. It's very difficult to use them as main ingredients for refining pills again; they can only be taken to my master to be used as auxiliary ingredients for refining other high-tier spirit pills."

Also as an alchemist, Duan Xueyi's alchemy level was much higher than Gao Yuyao's, and her identification of various spirit medicines was naturally more precise.

Under her guidance, the few soon discovered that there were some light yellow spots on the leaves below these two Snow Dragon Flowers, which was a clear characteristic of the loss of spirituality in spirit medicines. And it wasn't just the Snow Dragon Flowers; the other few spirit medicines also had some such spots in different positions.

Duan Xueyi sighed lightly and said again: "It seems that the owner of this cave dwelling should also be an alchemist. The spirit medicines planted here should all have been prepared by him for his own pill refining back then. It's just a pity that we came late. Over these years, they have all been exhausted due to lack of care. Even the spirit medicines that are still alive now have damaged spirituality and cannot display their original value."

Once the spirituality of ordinary spirit medicines is damaged, as Duan Xueyi said, the original medicinal effect will be affected to some extent, and the value of the spirit medicine will be greatly reduced.

However, even so, these spirit medicines could still be exchanged for quite a few spirit stones when taken outside, especially those two third-tier Snow Dragon Flowers. Even if the medicinal properties were damaged somewhat, taking them directly to the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion could still exchange for quite a few good things.

Duan Xueyi and Gao Yuyao took out a few jade boxes and carefully picked these spirit medicines. Being able to obtain these spirit medicines in here, the four present were already very satisfied.
