It was still quiet inside the ice cave outside. A trace of doubt flashed in Mu Jingyu's heart. Logically speaking, he had been in this cold underground cave for more than half an hour. The drunkard and the Qijue scholar must have noticed that he disappeared long ago.
But now, it was still silent outside, without any movement. Could it be that the two of them haven't found the mechanism to crack it and can't enter this secret room?
Or... they have been discovered by the spirits of the Demon Underworld Palace, and they are fighting outside at the moment, so they can't take care of themselves for the time being?
When he thought of this possibility, Mu Jingyu couldn't help but want to go back to the place where he fell to find out.
"Jingyu, what's wrong with you?" Su Yingying followed Mu Jingyu out of the cave and saw him standing there, looking at an ice door not far away, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. What.
"It's nothing..." Mu Jingyu was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped in place. She was afraid that Su Yingying would still have her graceful and delicate body half-covered by clothes, which would arouse the fire that she had finally suppressed.
Hesitating in his heart, he gritted his teeth and turned around. I saw that Su Yingying had already arranged her tattered clothes to cover her exposed body.
Mu Jingyu felt both disappointed and relieved. He couldn't figure out for a moment whether he was disappointed or relaxed.
"It's been a long time since I entered here by mistake, but there was no movement at all outside. I'm really worried that the two seniors, Drunkard and Qijue Scholar, will have their identities revealed by the monsters from the Demon Underworld Hall and have a conflict."
After hearing Mu Jingyu finish talking about her worries, Su Yingying spat softly and said: "Jingyu, I think you are confused because you are concerned. I think that the two seniors, the drunkard and the Qijue scholar, are among the top casual cultivators in Kyushu." First. Even the strongest North Pluto King in the Demon Underworld Palace will stay away when he sees it. Then do the other little demons dare to touch the trouble of these two? "
In fact, Mu Jingyu also knew these situations. But as Su Yingying said, pure concern will lead to chaos.
"Senior sister is right, Jingyu is worried..." Mu Jingyu nodded. Just as he said this, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.
Logically speaking, Su Yingying, like him, has been practicing in Jiuhua Mountain since she was a child. We must not know much about some of the senior experts in Kyushu who have been famous for a long time. What's more, the drunkard and Qijue scholar, who are the leaders of the casual cultivators.
But from her tone just now, it seemed that she knew the details of their cultivation level very well! Could it be that after she came out of Jiuhua Mountain, she had some extraordinary experiences that led her to learn these things? Or, had her grandfather Chiyang Zhenren told her about the two of them a long time ago?
Before Mu Jingyu could ask for details, Su Yingying seemed to realize something, and then said: "Oh, just keep your heart in mind! The most urgent thing is to find the elixir you need quickly. , that’s the serious thing.”
Shocking Pulse Locking Pill! After hearing Su Yingying's reminder, Mu Jingyu suddenly realized that it was his mission to sneak into Danchan Mountain.
"Senior Sister Su is right. Let's go find the elixir quickly and leave here as soon as possible." When he remembered that the medical fairy was still in the Medicine King Valley, waiting for him to help him refine the antidote, he suddenly became anxious.
He looked up at the remaining two ice paths. After a rough identification, he pointed to the ice path directly opposite and said: "One of the remaining two ice paths must lead to the secret room here. I feel that the other one leads to the secret room here." Inside the ice tunnel, there is a faint sound of wind, which must be another exit. Why don’t we go to the ice tunnel directly opposite and have a look, what do you think, Senior Sister Su?"
Su Yingying smiled and said, "I have been trapped in the cicada since I was caught here. You have been wandering around here for a while, so you must know better than me. Everything is up to you, Jingyu."
"Then let's decide!" Mu Jingyu stretched out his hand to summon two fairy swords, hung them on both sides of his body, and walked into the ice tunnel first.
This ice road is not too long, and there are no hidden weapons along the way. When they came closer, an ice door of the same shape appeared in front of them.
This time, Mu Jingyu pushed the ice door directly with his hand. As he expected, Bingmen was pushed open by him silently.
Behind the ice gate, there is also a cave wrapped in ice. Rows of red wooden medicine racks are neatly arranged in the cave. On the medicine shelf, wooden boxes glowing with cyan light were actually hanging on the medicine shelf. A rough count would probably be no less than a hundred, and there were four medicine boxes placed on each medicine shelf.
"Sure enough, there is a secret room!" Mu Jingyu was overjoyed and quickly put away the two fairy swords. He walked to the medicine shelf in three steps and reached out to take down the medicine box.
But when his palm just reached forward, it was blocked by an invisible layer of ice.
"Huh? It's strange. From a distance, there is nothing here. Unexpectedly, there is an invisible layer of ice wrapped around it."
Mu Jingyu tried stroking it up and down, trying to see if there were any cracks in the mechanism. But after touching it, I found that this invisible layer of ice had wrapped the entire medicine shelf. Moreover, there are no suspicious cracks in the mechanism.
Su Yingying curiously walked to another medicine shelf and followed Mu Jingyu's example, reaching out her hand to touch the invisible layer of ice.
"This kind of thing should be a ten-thousand-year-old black ice called Cold Smoke Phantom."
Mu Jingyu exclaimed: "Senior Sister Su, do you recognize this kind of thing?"
"Yeah!" Su Yingying thought for a moment and then said: "Back when I was in the master's school, I heard my grandfather talk about this kind of thing. So, I recognized it after taking a look."
Mu Jingyu nodded, Su Yingying's grandfather Chiyang Zhenren was the leader of Yuntai Peak who was in charge of Jiuhua Immortal Treasure. Naturally, he has dabbled in some of the geniuses and treasures in Kyushu.
As his favorite granddaughter, Su Yingying often listened to his teachings at his knees, so it was normal to think that she recognized this mysterious thing.
"Does Senior Sister have a magic method to crack this ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice? I estimate that these pills treasured by the Dan Toad must contain the Vein-Shaking Spirit Locking Pill."
"Is this...let me try it first." Su Yingying stretched out her hand on the transparent Wannian Xuanbing and stroked it carefully.
When he touched the middle position opposite the medicine box, his frowning eyebrows relaxed: "It should be right here."
Before he finished speaking, a stream of pure purple energy flowed out of his palm like a trickle and poured into the Wannian Xuanbing.
Mu Jingyu was surprised when he saw it. Logically speaking, as a disciple of Jiuhua Mountain, Su Yingying should have mainly masculine energy in her body. Even if it is not pure gold and silver, it should be light yellow or bright white. There will never be such a purple color mixed with feminine energy!
Just when Mu Jingyu looked at Su Yingying with some confusion, he saw that purple energy, under the control of Su Yingying, spiraling around in the ten thousand years of ice.
A circular pattern slowly appeared in the originally empty ice. In the middle of the pattern is a furnace cauldron emitting a trace of smoke.
Su Yingying stretched out her other hand and gently pressed it on the furnace cauldron. Countless purple energy slowly seeped into it, turning the originally almost transparent smoke completely purple.
As more and more purple energy spreads, cracks visible to the naked eye appear on the entire Xuanbing.
"It's done!" Su Yingying looked happy and increased the infusion of zhenqi again. Within a moment, the entire Xuanbing cracked. That countless purple zhenqi actually melted the extremely hard ten-thousand-year-old black ice.
"Senior Sister Su, when did you become so powerful! You can actually melt this ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice." When Mu Jingyu saw the mysterious ice melting, he immediately put his doubts behind him.
"Haha, Jingyu, you think too highly of me." Su Yingying chuckled and said: "This ten-thousand-year-old black ice called Cold Smoke Phantom is extremely hard. Not to mention my cultivation in the Qi Transformation realm, even if Even if the innate master comes, it will be difficult to break it with spiritual energy."
"Then...what's going on?" Mu Jingyu asked doubtfully.
Su Yingying saw that the entire Xuanbing had completely turned into purple energy and dissipated in the air. She reached out and picked up the elixir in the medicine box and looked it up and down. Then he explained: "Everything in the world has aura, and this ten thousand year ice is no exception."
"Are you saying that this thousand-year-old ice also has spiritual consciousness?" Mu Jingyu opened his mouth in shock.
In his opinion, only humans, birds, beasts, fish, insects, and other creatures have divine knowledge. But according to Su Yingying, things like flowers, plants, water, fire, etc. can actually have spiritual energy. How could he not be surprised?
Su Yingying nodded and said: "The tens of thousands of creatures in our clan and in Jiuzhou are all blessed by heaven and earth, and are born with spiritual consciousness. Flowers, grass, trees, wind, fire, thunder and lightning, etc., also have their own spiritual consciousness. Only But it is very thin, without millions of years of condensation, or a great opportunity to be created by heaven and earth, it will never be able to transform into a great wisdom like us."
"That's it." Mu Jingyu slowly nodded, never expecting that Su Yingying knew these things.
Su Yingying looked at the elixir in her hand and then looked inside the medicine box. At the bottom of the medicine box, she saw the five boys of Shengsheng Good Fortune Pill engraved on it. Come to think of it, the small characters engraved on it are the name of this elixir.
As Su Yingying put the elixir in her hand back into the distance, the ten thousand-year black ice that had originally dissipated condensed out lifelessly again, wrapping the entire medicine box in it.
"This elixir is not a pulse-shaking elixir. Let's look at the next one."
Mu Jingyu looked at the hundreds of medicine shelves here, frowned and said: "Senior Sister Su, there are hundreds of medicine shelves here, and the number of pills stored here is no less than four to five hundred. If you were alone, Look, I don’t know how long I’m going to be busy. Why don’t you teach me how to crack it, and we’ll get a lot faster together.”
"I was about to tell you, but I didn't expect you to mention it first." Su Yingying smiled and said: "It is not difficult to break the ten thousand-year ice."
Su Yingying said, pressing her hand to the outside of a medicine box next to her: "Although this cold smoke phantom is extremely hard, the inside of it has been planted by the alchemy demon. As long as you pour it with true energy, you can make the little The alchemy furnace mechanism appeared."
Su Yingying explained the rationale while cracking the mechanism.
It turns out that underneath Dan Chan Mountain, there is an ice crystal that has been condensed for thousands of years. Because it is colorless and odorless, it turns into smoke and dissipates when exposed to spiritual energy, hence the name Cold Smoke Phantom.
Presumably when the alchemy demon was building the alchemy room here, he undoubtedly discovered the body of the cold smoke phantom buried deep underground, so he built this alchemy room hidden underground with the help of these ten thousand-year-old ice crystals.
Not only does it help him refine elixirs, but it can also be used to preserve the elixirs he has concocted. If ordinary people don't know how to do it, it will be difficult to open it with brute force.
However, when the Alchemy Demon built this secret room, he deliberately left a small medicine cauldron mark in each medicine box. As long as the true energy is poured into it, the mark of the medicine cauldron can be revealed, thus cracking open the ten thousand year mysterious ice.
When Su Yingying cracked the medicine box, Mu Jingyu also completely learned how to crack it. The two men immediately divided into two groups, starting from both ends, opening the medicine boxes one by one and checking the pills inside.
Time passed by, and before I knew it, almost an hour had passed. Because the cultivation level of the two was not high, their true energy could not keep up with the speed of consumption, so the progress was slow. So far, I have only checked more than a hundred medicine boxes, but there is still no trace of the Zhenmai Locking Pill.
Just when Mu Jingyu felt a little discouraged, he casually opened the medicine box on the next medicine shelf.
After reaching out and opening it, I found that the elixir inside was ordinary. There is neither an attractive fragrance nor anything special. If it hadn't been stored here by the elixir demon, Mu Jingyu would have thought it was just an ordinary elixir.
Holding it in his hand, after playing with it casually for a few times, Mu Jingyu looked at the bottom of the medicine box in disappointment, wanting to confirm the name of the elixir again.
But then his eyes tightened and his mouth opened slightly. It took a long time before he whispered: "Senior Sister Su, I found the elixir!"
