Chronicles of Celestial Origins

After coaxing Xiao Zhan back into the Tianzhan Sword and getting into the storage bag, Tang Ning sat down cross-legged, took out the elixir and swallowed it to restore her lost spiritual power.

After a long time, the spiritual energy in his body was restored to fullness. He opened his eyes, stood up and continued to walk forward. After passing through the palace here, a magnificent and huge courtyard appeared.

There was a pile of dead bones scattered in the corners inside.

He walked closer, picked up a huge white bone, held it in his hand, and looked at it for a while.

This should be the skeleton of some kind of monster. If it appears in this courtyard, it is very likely that it is the guarding spirit beast here.

No matter what kind of life it is, it cannot withstand the ravages of time. No matter how strong it was during its lifetime, it is nothing more than a pile of withered bones now.

After passing through the courtyard, he came to a large hall. When he pushed open the stone door, he couldn't help but froze on the spot. A strong scent of fragrance hit his nostrils. What came into view were ancient trees full of vitality and two trees. Rows of ancient trees of different colors are arranged on both sides of the arch bridge, and below is a long green river that is about to dry up.

After using the spirit-boosting fairy liquid, Tangning's eyes narrowed and her body flashed before she came to the long green river. Holding a palm of the green liquid in her hand, she activated the green spiritual power in her body. The green liquid in her palms quickly evaporated into water vapor. It was completely absorbed by the green spiritual power in his body.

It is indeed a spirit-stimulating elixir, and its grade is higher than what was found in the ancient ruins of Xingang. It is at least a mid-grade spirit-enhancing elixir, and may even be a high-grade one.

No wonder these ancient trees can grow so lushly in this desert land. It is because there is a spirit-stimulating fairy liquid that provides them with spiritual power.

Judging from the topography, this river is about a thousand feet long and fifty or sixty feet wide. Unfortunately, the spirit-inducing liquid in it has dried up, leaving only a small patch of depressions with some residual greenery left. liquid.

Tangning collected all the liquid from various pits into storage bags and filled nearly half of the bags, which were about two or three square meters in size.

After collecting the remaining spirit-enhancing fairy liquid, he looked at the ancient trees in front of him. Two rows of ancient trees were located on both sides of the arch bridge, located between the rivers. There were twelve beads in total, divided into four varieties.

The tallest ancient tree is five or six feet high. It is a huge tree as red as fire, with a circumference of three feet. It grows extremely luxuriantly, with many branches and leaves, and crystal clear fiery red fruits are scattered on each branch. Above the head, there is an extremely rich aroma.

With a flash of his body, he picked off a fiery red fruit and held it in his hand to examine it carefully. The fruit was shaped like a snake. The handle at one end was slightly curved, like a hook, and the eye at the other end was neatly laid out. Eight fiery red fruit leaves exude an extremely rich scent similar to osmanthus.

If the prediction is correct, this fruit must be the Spirit Snake Fruit. Looking at the eight fiery red leaves in the fruit eye, this fruit is obviously ripe, at least 800 years old.

In fact, this fruit must have existed for more than 800 years, but its age cannot be judged from its appearance.

On the left side of the arch bridge, there were three Pearl Snake Fruit trees. Tang Ning roughly counted and found that there were no more than ten Snake Spirit Fruits hanging on each Pearl Snake Fruit tree, adding up to a total of thirty.

To the left of the Snake Spirit Fruit Tree are three neatly arranged ancient trees as white as snow.

Each bead is about three feet high. Like the Snake Spirit Fruit Tree, the snowy branches fed by the spirit-stimulating liquid are extremely lush and leafy. Hanging on them are strings of snow-white crystal clear fruit beads, shaped like grapes. Each string is There were ten of them, each one no bigger than a quail egg. They were white on the outside but bright red on the inside, emitting a delicate fragrance similar to that of an orchid.

This is the Xue Yuan Pu, which is at least a thousand years old. Every hundred years, one more Xue Yuan Pu will be born, ten in a bunch, so its age can be judged from its appearance.

There are ten strings hanging on each snow tree here, a total of thirty strings.

Tangning put all the Snake Spirit Fruits and Blood Origin Pus into his bag and went to the other side of the arch bridge. The six ancient trees on the right were the Green Lotus Fruit Tree and the Blood Python Tree.

The green lotus fruit is green with bluish color, pear-like in shape, and has tiny protrusions like lotus seeds on the outside. It matures in eight hundred years, and each plant has twenty, forty in total.

The branches of the blood python are about half a foot long, coiled into a semicircle, and the tips of the branches resemble snake heads. Its maturity period is one thousand years, and each plant has fifteen branches.

………

Snake Spirit Fruit, Blood Essence Fruit, Green Lotus Fruit, and Blood Python Branch, these four types of elixirs are all very rare in the spiritual world. Not only are they difficult to breed, but their maturity period is also extremely long, and their fruit trees only bear fruit once in their lives.

Adding these four types of elixirs together, there is only one possibility, and that is the spirit-boosting pill.

Tang Ning once read in a book that recorded elixirs. The spirit-boosting elixir requires the main ingredients of Thousand-Year Blood Python Branch, Thousand-Year Blood Yuan Pu, Eight-hundred-year Green Lotus Fruit, and Eight-hundred-Year Snake Spirit Fruit. Such a rare and expensive medicinal material is the most coveted by everyone in the spiritual world because of its efficacy.

Taking the spirit-boosting pill can directly increase the spiritual energy in the monk's body.

After ordinary pills are swallowed into the abdomen, because the spiritual energy is not pure and rich enough, it needs to be refined through the breathing method before it can be integrated into one's own spiritual sea point. The refining process is equivalent to filtering and purifying.

However, the Spirit-Building Pill does not need to be refined. Its spiritual power is pure and rich enough. After swallowing it, the spiritual power inside can be directly integrated into the Linghai Cave after just one cycle, and it will have the same effect for thousands of years. The same is true for spiritual milk and ice crystals refined from gourds. Because their spiritual power is pure enough, there is no need for further purification and filtration, so they can directly increase their cultivation level after taking it.

In addition, there are some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that also have this effect.

But among the elixirs, only the Spirit-Building Pill can directly increase the spiritual power of a monk. Another elixir with the same name as it, the Zengyuan Dan, is called the two divine elixirs in the cultivation world.

The effect of the Zengyuan Pill is to increase the longevity of monks. The former head of the Jiang family, Jiang Qingzheng, is approaching his longevity. It is said that he found the Zengyuan Pill in an ancient ruins, so he lived for a few hundred more years.

…

Tang Ning pocketed all the elixirs one by one. Since the owner of this pyramid planted these four elixirs in the temple, he must be refining the elixirs. If his body is found, he might be lucky enough to get one or two. Bottle of tonic elixir.

He observed the empty hall for a while, and soon found a secret entrance. There was a part of the stone wall on the right side of the hall that seemed a bit out of harmony with the whole. According to his many years of experience, this was a secret door, and there should be an inner door inside. room.

When he pushed open the heavy stone door, a large cauldron with nine legs and three ears as red as fire came into view. Cabinets were displayed on both sides, and there were some remaining medicinal powders on the table.

Tang Ning quickly walked inside and opened the cabinets on both sides. She saw a pile of elixirs and herbs neatly arranged inside. They seemed to be auxiliary medicines for refining the spirit-boosting pills. However, she rummaged through all the cabinets and found nothing. Replenishing elixir.

He was a little disappointed. He came to the red and fiery alchemy cauldron. There were many complex characters engraved on the cauldron. The object was extraordinary at first sight. After all, he was also an alchemist. Although his level was not very high, he knew the art of alchemy. I still understand a little bit. The refining of elixirs is very complicated, and there are corresponding requirements for fire veins, alchemist techniques, elixir age, and elixir cauldron grade.

Theoretically, the higher the level of the elixir, the higher the requirements for these conditions. A high-level elixir cauldron is an essential food item for all alchemists.

Some alchemists will carry their own alchemy cauldron wherever they go, especially high-level alchemists, who have their own dedicated alchemy cauldron.

When he looked inside through the transparent mirror of the alchemy cauldron, he couldn't help but feel refreshed. A fiery red gourd came into view.

Tang Ning hurriedly opened the lid of the cauldron, took all the gourds in the cauldron into her hands, opened the cap of the gourd bottle, and instantly a mind-blowing medicinal fragrance filled the entire room.

The half-red and half-purple elixirs rolled down from the gourd one after another. Each one was about the size of a rosary bead. The spiritual energy contained in it was surprisingly rich and it was the spirit-boosting elixir.

He never expected that the owner of the pyramid would put so many soul-boosting pills in the elixir cauldron. His heart went from disappointment to ecstasy, as if from hell to heaven, and he even couldn't help laughing.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to put elixirs in the alchemy cauldron. Because the alchemy cauldron is used to refine elixirs, it is completely unnecessary to put the elixirs in the inner room and have to take them out every time you refine elixirs. What's more, if you put them in a storage bag, A few bottles of elixirs are more than enough.

But why did the owner of the pyramid hide the spirit-boosting elixir in the elixir cauldron?

Tang Ning looked at the messy powder on the desk and had a rough guess in her mind.

There is only one possibility for all this, and that is that the owner of the pyramid encountered a very urgent and dangerous situation during the process of refining the elixir. He had no time to deal with it, so he hurriedly placed the newly refined elixir in the alchemy cauldron. Inside.

The messy powder on the desk can also confirm this. The average alchemist will clean up the room every time he refines the elixir.

As for why he didn't put it in a storage bag and take it away, it can only mean that the crisis is imminent. The owner of the pyramid could not escape the disaster, so he did not take the elixir with him to avoid being taken away by the enemy. .

The battle should have been carried out in the outer room. There were no signs of damage inside the Gein Pyramid. Both the external restrictions and the inner magic circle and puppets were intact, which is enough to show that there was no battle in the inner room.

The owner of the pyramid must have suffered a heavy blow, otherwise he would definitely come back to take away these elixirs. Similarly, the invading enemy failed to achieve a complete victory, otherwise he would definitely break into the pyramid to search.

Perhaps the two fought to the death together, or perhaps the intruder killed the pyramid owner, but was seriously injured himself and was unable to break into the tower again.

Tang Ning couldn't help but think of Ding Jianyang again. If the dark shadow in his body was a soul like Xiao Zhan, then this soul must have a significant relationship with the ruins here.

It is very possible that the black shadow is the soul of the pyramid owner, or the soul of the invader.

But if you think about it carefully, something seems wrong. If the soul in Ding Jianyang's body is related to the owner of the pyramid, his purpose of entering the ruins is very clear, which is to take these soul-boosting pills, but why hasn't he appeared yet?

Where did Ding Jianyang go?

Could it be that there is not only this pyramid in this space, but also another more important treasure location?

No matter what, it was a worthwhile trip to get these spirit-boosting pills.

Tang Ning happily pocketed the gourd and put everything in the alchemy room, including the alchemy cauldron, into the storage bag.

Now that he has a sufficient amount of snake spirit fruit, blood essence grape, green lotus fruit, and blood python branches, plus these auxiliary medicines and this elixir cauldron, he can completely refine the spirit-boosting elixir by himself in the future.

After leaving the alchemy room, he carefully searched all areas of the pyramid, and then left the place.

The most important thing now is to find Ding Jianyang. He escapes from the light, his consciousness spreads far away, and he continues to walk eastward. (End of chapter)
