According to Zhou Yang's analysis, the inexplicable creature should be hiding, because if it were a fifth-level high-level monster, there would be no need to hide it, and it could be destroyed by just lifting its foot.
"It must be a speed and hidden monster, and its grade won't be too low!" Zhou Yang looked around vigilantly and made a quick judgment.
He released his spiritual consciousness to investigate deeply, but still found nothing.
Just when he was about to lose his patience, a gust of evil wind struck behind him.
Zhou Yang had already been on guard. With a twist of his body, he moved more than two feet away in an instant, and the gray shadow flew into the air again.
The surroundings fell into silence again, but this invisible and intangible feeling made Zhou Yang's scalp feel tingling, like a ray on his back, making him restless.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, the gray shadow attacked again. Zhou Yang paid great attention. Not only did he avoid the attack, but when Red God stabbed repeatedly, he also hit the edge of the gray shadow, and blood seemed to spill out.
The silence lasted for a long time, but Zhou Yang gradually locked the location of the thing because it had the aura of blood on it.
With a sneer on his face, Zhou Yang swung his sword in one direction, but a spiritual light suddenly shot in another direction.
When the spiritual light reached it, screams rang out, and then a line of blood was drawn in mid-air. The gray figure that appeared suddenly rushed out, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
This time he probably really left.
Zhou Yang let out a sigh. Although he didn't see the appearance of the thing clearly, he could roughly see its outline. It was small in size, had a long tail, and was gray-black in color. The aura it showed when it escaped should be at the fourth level.
"It's not easy to find a place to stay. This place is much more dangerous than Cangshou Mountain." Zhou Yang shook his head and muttered to himself, then circled around a somewhat rotten giant tree.
The gray-black long-tailed monster jumped out from the grass under this giant tree.
That thing is hidden so secretly. Could it be that there is not only a hole in the tree, but also its nest?
"This is the Green Mango Fruit!" Zhou Yang circled around the giant tree for a long time and suddenly found a plant under his feet. The plant bore three green fruits.
Seeing these three fruits, Zhou Yang couldn't help but scream in surprise. The Green Mango Fruit was the last ingredient of the God-Building Pill. No wonder he was surprised.
It was really hard to find anything here, and it took no effort to get here. Unexpectedly, he found what he had dreamed of here. It was so great!
With the Green Mango Fruit, the God-Building Pill can be refined, and hidden diseases in the consciousness can be eradicated.
Not only that, if you or your relatives or friends encounter damage to your consciousness in the future, taking this elixir can quickly heal them.
Also, the God-Building Pill should also be effective against Sima Ling'er's injuries to his consciousness.
Zhou Yang didn't care about searching the tree hole anymore, and hurriedly leaned down to observe the green mango fruit carefully.
This kind of fruit is green in color and about the size of a longan. It grows on a green plant about a foot tall. It has three branches extending in three directions. Three green flowers grow on each branch. Among the flowers are Tightly wrapped with green mango fruit.
It is recorded in the Essentials of Alchemy that the green mango fruit is dark gray when it first grows, becomes bluish gray when it grows older, and becomes pure blue when mature.
The three green mangoes in front of me are close to pure green color. Although they are still a little short of pure green, they are enough to be used as alchemy materials.
Zhou Yang took out a handkerchief, first wrapped a green mango fruit, then stretched out his hand, carefully picked the fruit, and put it into the treasure box.
The other two followed the same pattern and were also put into the box.
After doing all this, Zhou Yang didn't give up and started searching around the giant tree again.
However, after a while, the green mango fruit was no longer found.
"That long-tailed monster was waiting here. Maybe he wanted to swallow these three green mango fruits, but I beat him to it. You are unlucky." Zhou Yang thought to himself, but continued without stopping. Search for other giant trees.
After half an hour, there was no gain, so Zhou Yang gave up.
He put the branches, leaves, rhizomes, and part of the soil of the precious green mango into the Moment Treasure Box, and then returned to the giant tree before and started tapping it gently.
After a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
There is indeed a hole in the tree, and it is quite small. The entrance is about ten feet above the ground. There is an irregular hole there, but it is only about the size of a palm.
After determining the location, Zhou Yang took out a long sword, took a few steps back, and nailed it to the giant tree seven or eight feet high. Then he jumped and landed lightly on the long sword.
He took out the red god and drew a small circle at the small hole above his head. Then with a little force, the red god had penetrated into the tree stem.
Sure enough, the outer bark of the giant tree was empty within a few inches.
Zhou Yang used his sword to draw a hole, then put away the round bark that he had removed, and then jumped up slightly. His body was already above the hole, and with another wave of spiritual power, he took the long sword nailed to the tree into his hand. .
As he fell, Zhou Yang stepped on the lower edge of the tree hole, held the upper tree pole with his hands, and then slowly slid into the hole.
He controlled his body shape, and after falling for a moment, he stepped on something real. However, his feet were a little soft, and it should be the rotten wood inside the giant tree.
It was dark inside the cave, with only a faint light coming from the entrance.
Zhou Yang released his spiritual consciousness and searched carefully, and found that there was still some distance up, and it was empty in front, back, left and right. The tree hole was very big.
He put the cut round bark back in place, just blocking the hole.
After finishing all this, he sat down cross-legged with some exhaustion.
Since entering the secret realm, after a series of fierce battles, Zhou Yang had to rest at all. Zhou Yang's spiritual power and physical strength had been exhausted, but fortunately he did not suffer any serious injuries.
After swallowing a handful of pills, he controlled his breath and quickly entered a state of recovery.
A full two hours later, Zhou Yang opened his eyes again. At this time, his condition had returned to his prime.
"It's a pity that there is no earth fire here, otherwise we can start refining elixirs." Zhou Yang said to himself, looking at the green mango fruit in his hand.
According to the key points of alchemy, one green mango fruit can provide the required eighteen replenishing elixirs. Excluding those that were wasted due to failure, it is estimated that these three green mangoes can be used to refine nearly fifty replenishing elixirs. This is already. It's a good harvest.
Although he couldn't refine it immediately, Zhou Yang's face was still filled with an excited smile.
After experiencing many dangers along the way, his hard work was finally not in vain. Not only did he get two cloud mink beast inner elixirs, he also unexpectedly harvested three green mango fruits, especially the latter, which was more precious to him. Before, How could he not be happy once he got something he couldn't get after years of traveling?
After putting away the green mango fruit, Zhou Yang took out the two cloud mink beasts from the storage bag, split the beast's heads with his sword, took out the inner elixir and observed them carefully.
Everyone only knew that the inner elixir of the Cloud Sable Beast was the main material for refining the Enlightenment Pill, but they did not know that this inner elixir had another wonderful use.
According to the Alchemy Essentials, the cloud mink beast not only has the effect of enhancing and repairing spiritual consciousness, it can also increase the practitioner's movement speed.
After refining this elixir, and taking it with lightning grass and palm mustard for a long time, it can greatly increase the movement speed of body and footwork. This effect was understood by the ancient alchemy master after many attempts.
However, what depressed Zhou Yang was that the method of taking these three ingredients was not explained in the Alchemy Tips.
"It would be too straightforward to swallow the three of them directly!" Zhou Yang pondered for a long time and couldn't think of a good way.
There is a way to refine the cloud mink beast's inner elixir. You can wrap it with spiritual power or mana, and then use flames to remove the impurities on the outside before taking it.
The key is the usage of Lightning Grass and Palm Mustard.
Generally, spiritual herbs are either refined into elixirs or boiled into soups before being taken. Very few of them are swallowed directly. Even if it can be swallowed directly, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced.
"Could it be that master who is testing future generations?" This thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Yang's mind.
At first glance, the key to alchemy is just an alchemy technique, but now Zhou Yang doesn't think so.
The main purpose of this secret is of course alchemy, and the alchemy techniques contained in it are the best of ancient times, much more advanced than contemporary alchemy techniques.
Zhou Yang started to learn alchemy from this magical art, and his starting point was naturally very high. Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that he has an excellent understanding of the alchemy path.
At first, he also believed that the so-called alchemy should be carried out according to the methods recorded in the key points of alchemy. However, as his experience and knowledge increased, he realized that today's alchemy technique was incomparable to the ancient alchemy technique contained in the key.
Although there are similarities between ancient and modern alchemy techniques, contemporary alchemy techniques only inherit part of the ancient alchemy, and many wonderful methods have been lost.
Moreover, when he used ancient methods to refine elixirs, he accidentally discovered an even more amazing effect, which was to increase the intensity of his spiritual consciousness. This alone is beyond the reach of contemporary alchemy.
Zhou Yang was grateful for his good luck, and he devoted himself more to studying the ancient alchemy method, and paid attention to mutual verification with the current method of alchemy.
In particular, his conversation with the alchemist Ye Chongshan in Jin Chengguo benefited him a lot, and he gained a deeper understanding of the ancient and modern alchemy techniques. He was deeply inspired, and his alchemy techniques also improved. Great progress.
Not only that, in recent times, he has been memorizing the entire text of the key to alchemy, and has gained a lot. He is not far away from memorizing it all.
During the days of memorizing the key points of alchemy, he gained a deeper understanding of this Tao, which can be said to have been sublimated to a certain extent.
The most direct result after comprehending sublimation was the creation of a colorless and odorless potion. This potion powder can quickly make people lose spiritual power and physical strength. It has the same effect as the Hualing Powder developed by Fan Yuan based on the Taiqing Sect poison. similar.
If this potion is used at critical moments, it can achieve surprising results.
It's a pity that Zhou Yang hasn't developed an antidote yet. It will hurt others and himself, so he doesn't dare to use it. But for Zhou Yang, who had just entered the alchemy path, this was extremely valuable.
Based on his sublimation and breakthrough in the understanding of alchemy, Zhou Yang didn't care too much when he encountered this problem today.
The art of alchemy pays attention to step by step, from low to high, from easy to difficult.
The ancients created an elixir after countless attempts, so why couldn't he try it himself!
Moreover, there is already a result in this area, which is his original Fire Spirit Pill.
