A flash of light flashed, and Su Ming appeared in the teleportation array at the other end. The moment he appeared in the array, cracks appeared in the teleportation array under his feet, and the runes on it also collapsed and could no longer be used. .
"A one-time formation?" Su Ming frowned slightly. It was not easy to hide the teleportation formation in the ground node of Yulinyuan without any spiritual energy, or to have a one-way teleportation formation.
After stepping out of the teleportation array, he emitted his spiritual thoughts, and the scene here immediately appeared in his mind. However, in some places, his spiritual thoughts were isolated. Unable to probe.
This is a cave, and the place where he is is the hall.
The rockery is floating on water, the pavilion is surrounded by green bamboos, and the water from the waterfall falls in a luxuriant manner, scattering pearls and jade all over the ground, tinkling and reflecting wonderful light.
The exquisite balconies, elegant pavilions, and beautiful marbles complement each other beautifully.
However, the plants here had long since withered because they were not nourished by spiritual energy, and the formations in the cave had long been stopped. Su Ming made a move, and the formation flags hidden everywhere were directly stored in his storage ring.
The secret room on the left was the place that was isolated from his spiritual search. Su Ming opened the door. In the center was a two-person-high alchemy furnace. The fire had long been extinguished. On one side of the alchemy furnace, a figure was sitting. He took a closer look. , this man was wearing a Taoist robe, his face was as rosy as a baby, his hair and beard were all white, and his expression was peaceful. If it weren't for the fact that he was completely breathless and couldn't sense his soul, Su Ming almost thought he was asleep.
There are various medicinal materials placed on the surrounding wooden shelves, but because the Taoist priest died, these medicinal materials have long lost their effectiveness.
"You are good at refining elixirs under the eyes of Yulinyuan, but you are just a bit unlucky." Su Ming shook his head, with a trace of sympathy in his eyes, and then took off the storage ring from the Taoist's hand.
The Taoist priest had long since died, and the soul brand on it had naturally dissipated. He re-branded it and found out that there were many things in the ring.
A magical sword at the level of a spiritual treasure, some elixir recipes, many elixirs and precious medicinal materials were all preserved in jade boxes and vases without losing their medicinal properties.
Lingbao-level magic swords can only be used by Yuanying monks. Is this Taoist a Yuanying monk? Su Ming was a little surprised. How could the dignified Nascent Soul cultivator die here so easily?
Even if there is a court outside that prohibits Taoist law, they won't be trapped and die here alive.
Then he opened the secret room next door, and the sight in front of him surprised him. There were many cages here, and there were many corpses in them. They had different shapes, some had arms turned into claws, and some had bodies covered with scales, and some had horns growing on their heads.
These people looked ferocious, their dead eyes full of madness, and the cages made of fine iron were covered with tiny claw marks and dark red blood stains after a struggle.
Is this a demon?
Su Ming took out the magical sword he had just obtained, poured it into the Buddha's essence, and with a single wave, cut off all the locks on the prison cage, and then inspected the corpses here.
However, Su Ming discovered a strange aura among these corpses.
Dragon spirit!
These demons have more or less dragon energy in them, and their quality is not low.
Su Ming stretched out his hand to grab it, and wisps of golden dragon energy gathered from their bodies into the palm of his hand, condensing into a mini golden dragon. After losing the dragon energy, these monsters immediately turned into powder and scattered on the ground.
Just after he collected the dragon energy, the Great Zhou Qi he carried also reacted and became restless. The dragon energy in his hands was instantly assimilated and absorbed by the Great Zhou Qi.
Suddenly, the panel on Su Ming's body changed. The luck value on it changed from 400 to 500. A conjecture suddenly appeared in his mind, Ye Xue, these dragon qi originally belonged to Dazhou, but were just used by others. The transfer was used on these people.
Because the dragon's energy enters the body, and they are mortal bodies, they are assimilated by the dragon's energy and possess some of the characteristics of the dragon.
Suddenly, Su Ming thought of someone.
Emperor Shenwu!
In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, only he can divide the dragon energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In a sense, the dragon energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also luck, because this is a dynasty, where people's hearts aspire and the thoughts of billions of people gather together. Dragon energy is formed, and when many dragon energy condenses to a certain extent, it becomes the destiny of the dynasty.
Compared with the dragon energy of those true dragons in the East China Sea, the dragon energy gathered by the imperial court is undoubtedly more complex and difficult to deal with. They are even essentially two different things.
Therefore, this power is difficult to refine.
Could it be said that these are all test subjects on Emperor Shenwu's path to immortality?
Thinking of this, Su Ming shook his head. Even if it was a test product, so what? In order to extend lifespan in future generations, wouldn't those large consortium medical institutions conduct too many human experiments?
Besides, if he were the emperor and had the power over the world, he would probably do more than Emperor Shenwu did.
"Huh~"
Su Ming took a long breath and wiped away the reverie in his heart. It was useless to think about it anymore. He had better finish looking for things and leave. He hadn't found those monsters yet.
Immediately afterwards, he continued to search, and after a while, he basically searched out all the valuable things in the cave.
Then, he came to the alchemy room and opened the alchemy furnace.
Sure enough, there was a furnace of elixir inside, but it had been used up. But even if it was a used elixir, Su Ming could still feel the pure and peaceful vitality in it. At the same time, it also confirmed his suspicion.
This is the place dedicated to refining elixirs for Emperor Shenwu.
As someone with the power of the imperial court, he also needed elixirs to sustain his vitality. Apart from the old emperor sitting on the dragon throne, Su Ming could not think of anyone else in the world who needed such elixirs.
Emperor Shenwu diverted the dragon energy and used others to test the medicine, probably to test the pill's resistance to dragon energy. After all, the emperor's dragon energy was extremely overbearing, and the effect of the pill he took would definitely be greatly reduced.
Su Ming put the alchemy furnace into the storage ring, then found a teleportation array in the secret room and left directly.
······
In this mountain range, in addition to Emperor Shenwu, the prince, and Prince Qi and his son, who were preoccupied, the generals and nobles were hunting with all their might, and the wolves, jackals, tigers, and leopards, and the large beasts suffered disaster.
After all, they are just ordinary beasts, which are enough to deal with ordinary people, but how can they be the opponents of those guards who are so powerful that one is worth a hundred?
As long as they stop the confrontation, these beasts will only be slaughtered wantonly by the nobles.
At the same time, during these two days, all the civil servants racked their brains, trying to write excellent poems and win the first place in one fell swoop. Since ancient times, there has been no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. This Qianqiu Hunting can be regarded as the best in recent years. The biggest event, no one is willing to miss this opportunity to win His Majesty's favor, except Zhang Daozhi, the chief minister of the current cabinet.
Ever since Qianqiu saw His Majesty during his hunting trip, he couldn't sleep or eat, couldn't sleep at night, and was worried all day long.
That night, the stars were bright and the full moon was hanging high. He woke up from the couch, put on his single clothes and came to the courtyard. The fifty-year-old Zhang Daozhi was relatively young among the courtiers. He was the number one scholar in Shenwu for forty years. , in twenty years, he rose through the ranks and reached the position of chief assistant.
No one knows the current situation of Dazhou better than him, but it is precisely because of this that he is worried about the situation in the court and can't sleep at night because of it.
