Couple cultivating immortality: My Taoist partner and I grew up through planting

"You know it again? Did you see it?" Han Xin rolled her eyes at him.

Shi Yan chuckled, "I guessed."

The stones here seemed to have the effect of weakening the detection of spiritual sense, so except for the tunnel they were in now, his spiritual sense had never penetrated into any place with rocks.

At the same time, he was also distracting Han Xin so that she could relax.

After walking another hundred meters or so, Shi Yan called for a stop again.

"Have we encountered a formation again?" Han Xin asked.

"This time it's not a formation."

If it’s not a formation, then what is it?
"It's a mechanism." Shi Yan pressed hard on a wall, and a stone door opened before their eyes.

This is an alchemy room, divided into inner and outer rooms.

The outer room is a place dedicated to alchemy. Maybe because the underground fire is still there, the temperature here is much hotter than the tunnel outside.

A cauldron for making alchemy was placed on a ground fire stove. Without the company of its owner, the cauldron seemed very lonely.

Shi Yan went forward to check the only valuable item in this alchemy room, and finally shook his head with regret.

The alchemy furnace has been preserved to this day and is still as new as ever. It was used by a famous alchemist five thousand years ago. Shi Yan thought it was some kind of treasure or immortal weapon, but after taking a look, he found out it was just a top-grade spiritual weapon. He would be disappointed.

Shi Yan said to Han Xin who was standing beside him, "Put it away. After all, it is a top-grade spiritual tool. It can be used as a medicine cauldron."

This alchemy furnace is much larger than those in Xinxin's space, and it is also a top-grade spiritual weapon.

At worst, you can sell it and get a lot of spirit stones.

Han Xin did not put it into the space immediately. She checked the furnace once more to make sure there was nothing poisonous inside and it was not a furnace for refining poison pills. Only then did she feel at ease to put it into the space.

The inner room was just a small compartment with two medicine racks against the wall, on which were placed many jade bottles.

Han Xin approached and saw the names of the pills written on the pill bottles: Infant Formation Pill, Golden Formation Pill, Soul Nourishing Pill, Detoxification Pill, etc.
"I wonder if these pills are still useful after thousands of years?"

Han Xin picked up a pill bottle and whispered.

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

Shi Yan took the medicine bottle from her hand and said "hold your breath", then he opened the jade bottle.

A burst of medicinal fragrance came out of the bottle, but unfortunately the two people who were holding their breath could not smell anything.

Shi Yan poured the medicine onto the medicine shelf, and a round pill rolled out of the bottle.

Just as a smile appeared on the two men's lips, the next moment the pill slowly fell apart before their eyes, leaving only a small pile of powder.

After that, all that came out of the stone inkstone was powder.

"Alas" they both sighed at the same time.

It was all in vain.

Han Xin took out a few more bottles from the medicine shelf and opened them to check. The results were the same. They had all turned into powder, and because too much time had passed, the medicinal effect was gone. The medicinal fragrance was quite strong, but they didn't know it.

There was nothing in the room except two medicine racks and a pile of expired pills that had no effect. They did not even collect the pill bottles and turned to leave the alchemy room. Because there was nothing inside, they did not even close the stone door and continued to move forward.

On the rest of the journey, the two never encountered any formations or secret rooms again.

When she was still dozens of meters away from where the bats were stationed, Han Xin turned on the flashlight and swept it towards the area where the bats were stationed.

The result was just as Han Xin had guessed. When the flashlight shone on them, the bats immediately flapped their wings and flew away.

Seeing this, Han Xin couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly urged Shi Yan, "Don't just stand there, A Yan, turn on the flashlight."

If she could avoid facing these bat monsters head-on, Han Xin certainly didn't want to.

Shi Yan immediately turned on the flashlight to shine on the bats.

Every time the bats flew a few meters away, they would move forward a few steps. Han Xin thought it would continue like this until they drove the bats out of the tunnel. They had already discovered that there was a fork in the road at the end of the tunnel, so they just had to choose not to go through the same tunnel with the bats.

Unfortunately, Han Xin's imagination was too naive. If the monsters here were just ordinary bats, they might have retreated, but this group of bats had a leader.

Their territory has been invaded. As the boss, how could the mutant bats allow them to continue to drive out their people again and again?
A sharp sound wave came from the front, almost knocking the two men off their feet, and their consciousness was also shaken for a moment.

Shi Yan reminded: "This is a sonic attack unique to bats. It can affect our sonic attack. I'm afraid that a fourth-level bat has appeared."

As soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, a black bat that was more than three times larger than the other bats appeared in their consciousness. After the mutant bat appeared, the bats that had been retreating to avoid the light stopped retreating and instead followed the mutant bat and flew towards the two of them.

Shi Yan took a step forward and stood in front of Han Xin. "Be careful, this one is not easy to deal with."

He had never expected that there would be a fourth-level monster here, and it was a mutated one.

It was already difficult to deal with them at the fourth level. After all, both of them were only in the middle stage of the Golden Core. With their many methods, they could deal with the fourth level, but if there was a mutation, it would be difficult.

The strength of the mutated bats was added up, which was equivalent to them having to deal with two fourth-order bats. Fortunately, the opponent was only in the early fourth order.

Han Xin took out a large stack of third-grade top-grade blasting talismans and placed them in Shi Yan's hand, "If it doesn't work, just blow it up."

"No, this is a cave. It will be difficult to get out if the mountain collapses." Shi Yan rejected the idea without even thinking.

Han Xin: I didn’t think it through.

She took the stack of blasting talismans from Shi Yan's hand and put them into the space.

Shi Yan: That’s not necessary. As long as you don’t throw the blasting talismans over a large area, they can still be blown up. You can leave these blasting talismans to me.

The next moment, there was another stack of talismans in his hand, but the number was more than half less than before.

"This is an ice-sealing talisman. Use it to freeze them one by one, and then release the ice soldiers." Thinking that Ah Yan had ice-type spiritual roots and could already use the freezing trick, Han Xin did not give him many ice-sealing talismans.

"That's possible, but nocturnal monsters like bats are more resistant to cold, so it's harder to freeze them completely than other monsters, and the time they can be frozen is much shorter. But even if they are only frozen for a moment, I still have time to kill them."

"It's just that mutant bat that's hard to deal with."

Now in Shi Yan's eyes, the minions and bats are easy to deal with.

At this time, Han Xin had already thrown her fear to the winds. She was now concentrating on how to get rid of the mutant bats with the least loss.

Since the mutant bats took the initiative to attack the two, they would not stand still and allow the other party to attack them. When the bats were more than 300 meters away from them, Shi Yan threw a freezing talisman forward. (End of this chapter)
