Chapter 375: Alchemy Room

After the group came out of the first stone gate with satisfaction, Fang Wuqian summoned the giant green ox again and used the old method to directly and violently demolish the second stone gate.

This time, they entered a stone room that didn't look large. As soon as they walked in, Song Qingming felt as if he had smelled a somewhat strange medicinal fragrance.

Smelling the scent and looking around, he discovered that there were several rows of wooden shelves made of spirit wood against the walls around this stone room, and there were quite a few small porcelain bottles of different colors on them.

Gao Yuyao stepped forward, picked up one of the porcelain bottles, opened it to look, and then put it to her nose to smell it, immediately frowning, and tossed it to the side.

"Senior Sister Duan, you were indeed right. This place seems to be the place where that senior refined pills. It's just a pity that these pills have lost their usefulness after a long time, and they can only be taken back as waste pills for researching pharmacology."

Ordinary pills are different from other spirit objects. No matter how well you preserve them, they will begin to lose their spirituality after being placed for too long. Even second-tier high-grade spirit pills like the Foundation Establishment Pill can only be preserved for a few decades at most.

This cave dwelling has not been entered for several hundred years. The pills in the jade bottles, without needing to open them all to look, the few also knew that they were basically useless.

Gao Yuyao and Duan Xueyi put away these jade bottles and searched carefully in the stone room again, somewhat unwillingly, but the result was still nothing, and they could only leave here with some regret.

These two alchemists were so eager to find something, Song Qingming didn't need to guess to know that they were likely wanting to obtain the alchemy secret books left behind by this senior.

In the world of immortal cultivation, high-level alchemists above the third tier are very rare. Like the Carefree Sect, which has controlled the immortal cultivation world of the State of Wei for thousands of years, there are only two third-tier alchemists in the sect, and one of them does not have much lifespan left.

Although Duan Xueyi has excellent cultivation talent and is a two-spirit-root cultivator, there are now at least five or six people like her in the Carefree Sect who are core formation seeds that the sect focuses on cultivating.

Without the benefit of special circumstances, if she were to rely solely on herself to compete fairly for Core Formation resources, Duan Xueyi's hopes were clearly not as high as those of a cultivator with a superior spiritual root like Li Yungong.

But as a second-tier high-grade alchemist, as long as she has the opportunity to go further and become a third-tier alchemist, Duan Xueyi's status in the sect will instantly rise, and the Carefree Sect will certainly invest more core formation resources in her.

If Duan Xueyi and her companion are lucky this time and can find an alchemy classic left behind by a senior here, it will certainly be of great help to her alchemy skills. In the future, maybe she will truly have the opportunity to break through and become a third-tier alchemist.

If this is truly the case, then her chances of forming a core in the future will also be greatly increased. After all, the Carefree Sect, as a large sect, still has to consider the long-term development of the sect. A third-tier alchemist is enough to attract the attention of the sect's Nascent Soul ancestors. Gao Yuyao, who is equally keen on this, also has this small calculation in her heart.

Although Gao Yuyao's background in the sect is far inferior to Duan Xueyi's, who has a Core Formation master to take care of her, she is also a two-spirit-root cultivator, and her cultivation talent is not inferior to Duan Xueyi's. She also has a not-so-small chance of forming a core.

It's just that Gao Yuyao's alchemy skills are only second-tier low-grade, and there is still a long distance from a third-tier alchemist. But as long as there is this hope, she naturally will not miss it easily.

After searching carefully in the stone room several times, they still couldn't find what they wanted, so Duan Xueyi and Gao Yuyao could only shake their heads helplessly and follow Song Qingming and his companion to leave this stone room.

"Two Fairies, don't be discouraged. Now that there is this last stone gate left, maybe the things you want are inside."

Seeing Duan Xueyi and Gao Yuyao somewhat disappointed, Fang Wuqian, who was about to start preparing to break the door by force, comforted the two women with a smiling face.

Gao Yuyao and Duan Xueyi heard this, their expressions eased slightly, and they focused their attention on this last stone gate again.

Following Fang Wuqian's order, that giant green ox raised its four limbs again, shouted, and rushed toward the last stone gate.

The group originally thought that this stone gate would be the same as the previous two stone gates and would be smashed into powder by this brute-force green ox in one breath.

Unfortunately, after seeing the scene in the next moment, Song Qingming and the others opened their eyes wide again, and Fang Wuqian's face had already turned iron-blue.

Seeing that the green ox hit a chi in front of the stone gate, it was as if it had hit a large mass of cotton, and the giant ox head could not move forward another step.

The green ox, seeing that it couldn't smash the stone gate, retreated again, went to a place further away, and rushed toward the stone gate with even faster speed.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was the same as before and still couldn't touch the stone gate. The giant green ox was also bounced back by a huge force and fell directly to an empty space on the side.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, let's put away your spirit beast first. This stone gate is different from before. There should be special restrictions set on it, and it seems difficult to enter by brute force alone."

Hearing Song Qingming say this, Fang Wuqian smiled somewhat awkwardly, kicked the giant ox that was still somewhat dizzy on the ground with his foot, and then directly put it back into the spirit beast bag at his waist, giving up his position to Song Qingming.

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist Song, then it all depends on you."

Song Qingming nodded slightly, took out a set of array flags from his storage bag again, and inserted them into the ground according to the positions he had looked at in advance.

"Several Fellow Daoists, please help in a while and inject some magic power into the magic array I arranged."

Duan Xueyi nodded with a smile and replied, "Fellow Daoist Song, no need to be polite. Just tell us what we need to do in a while."

This time, breaking the restrictions on the stone gate was simpler than the magic array at the entrance of the cave dwelling earlier. Song Qingming only used less than half an hour to successfully crack the restrictions on it.

Song Qingming first used the arranged magic array to tentatively attack this stone gate, and after detecting the weak point of the restrictions on the stone gate, he borrowed the spiritual energy of the magic array to gather the magic power of several people together to launch an attack directly at the weak point of the restrictions, and soon forcibly broke this restriction.

The restrictions on this stone gate were just casually set by the cave dwelling owner. After a long time, the power of the restrictions had also dissipated for the most part, unlike the magic array at the entrance of the cave dwelling earlier, which had the Treasure Light Cauldron as an array eye, could continuously absorb the spiritual energy in the cave dwelling to supplement the magic array, and repair the damage to the magic array at any time.

Seeing that Song Qingming had lifted the restrictions on the stone gate, Fang Wuqian, who had long been unable to hold back, directly took out a very heavy silver giant sword, stepped forward, and slashed a sword energy at the third stone gate with all his might.

After a burst of violent movement, the last stone gate also soon turned into a pile of broken stones, revealing the scene hidden behind it.
