However, as soon as Kong Ju stepped into the Gexia Cave, he felt a warm current rushing towards his face.
Orange light spread out from the cave, illuminating Kong Ju and Ning Shuang behind him.
Kong Ju's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled a slightly pungent smell in the cave.
Now he was a third-rank alchemist, so he could tell what the smell was. He immediately smiled and whispered, "The smell of earth fire."
The underground fire is very helpful for refining elixirs.
Therefore, there is a special underground fire outlet in the Cangwu sect's alchemy pavilion that is drawn from the center of the earth for use in alchemy.
After all, Ge Xia was a master of alchemy, so it was natural for him to draw the earth fire in his own cave to assist in alchemy.
Kong Ju didn't think much about it and continued to move forward with Ning Shuang.
The corridor of the cave continued to extend downwards. After walking for a while, Kong Ju felt that he was already under the ground of the island.
Soon, the road ended.
A small secret room appeared at the end of the corridor.
It is no more than twenty feet long and ten feet wide.
The surrounding stone walls have not been deliberately repaired, retaining the original bumpy appearance of the stones.
Kong Ju looked towards the center of the secret room, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of flames gushing out from the ground.
A bronze medicine cauldron stood on it.
"Green cauldron!" Kong Ju's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the medicine cauldron.
In fact, the Golden Luan Furnace is not Ge Xia’s best furnace for alchemy. It was just passed down to Ge Xia by his master, Han Dong’er’s great-grandfather.
Because it has extraordinary significance to Gexia, I carry it with me.
If we really talk about the quality of the alchemy furnace, the green tripod in front of us is Ge Xia's most precious treasure.
It was something Han Xi took out from the sect's treasury after he destroyed a sect and presented it specially to Ge Xia as a gift.
It is considered to be one of the best alchemy furnaces in Wudong.
It has a very significant effect in suppressing the repulsion between various spiritual medicines.
If the elixirs repel each other, the furnace will easily explode.
The Qing Ding solved this problem perfectly, increasing the success rate of making pills by at least 20%.
"I thought that this Green Cauldron fell into the hands of the sect with the death of Ge Xia. Isn't this a good deal for me?" Kong Ju looked at the Green Cauldron with a smile on his face.
He has a powerful spiritual weapon, the Xuanwu furnace, but the function of the Xuanwu furnace is to improve the quality of elixirs.
The function of the Qingding just makes up for the shortcomings of the Xuanwu furnace.
Just as Kong Ju was delighted by this achievement.
Ningshuang had already stepped past the green tripod and walked to the row of bookshelves in this space.
The upper half of the shelf is filled with ancient books.
The lower part displays spiritual medicines and many already refined pills.
Before Kong Jue could react, Ningshuang picked up a bottle of pills and poured them into her mouth.
He chewed it like he was eating candy beans, making a crunching sound.
But the taste of this pill didn't seem to be what she imagined.
The taste of the pill quickly spread in her mouth. Her blue little eyebrows frowned together. She wanted to vomit but couldn't bear to do so. She squeezed her little face together and swallowed it with a roll in her throat.
"It's so disgusting!" The painful expression on Ningshuang's face has not disappeared yet.
Kong Ju had already walked over, snatched the jade bottle from her hand expressionlessly, and cursed angrily: "It tastes bad, but you still ate it."
Ning Shuang puffed out her chest and said her reasoning: "Don't waste it!"
Kong Ju was too lazy to pay attention to her. He put the jade bottle to his nose and sniffed it. Then his face became strange. He turned around and said with a smile: "This is an external injury medicine. Crush it and apply it to the wound."
"What's the difference?" Ningshuang didn't think she had done anything wrong and was still being stubborn.
"It makes no difference. You are a powerful person anyway, and this medicine can't kill you."
"But you can't take these medicines anymore. They are precious."
As Kong Ju spoke, he casually placed the jade bottle back to its original position.
Then he began to identify the quality of the pills placed on the bookshelf one by one.
Unfortunately, the quality of the pills here is not high, including the bottle of external injury medicine that Ningshuang swallowed in one gulp, most of them are second grade.
Kong Ju looked through all the medicine bottles and only found a bottle of third-grade elixir, which was a poisonous pill.
Kong Ju was not surprised by this, and smiled bitterly: "Alas, after Ge Xia was crushed out of Wudong, he lived a miserable life. I don't think he can find a third-grade spiritual medicine to refine."
Having said that, Kong Ju still put the bottle of third-grade poison pill into his pocket.
The third-grade poison pill, named Bi Ya Zui, was made from the poison sac of the palm-born monster, the Bi Ya Snake.
I don’t know where Ge Xia got the green-fanged snake venom sac.
But its toxicity is fatal to even the most powerful ones in the early stages of their lives.
Even if a person is poisoned in the middle stage of his life, he will have to spend a lot of effort to suppress the poison, which will affect his strength.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can hurt the powerful palm master.
After collecting the Bi Ya Zui, Kong Ju no longer looked down on the other elixirs. Even if he sold them all, they would not be worth much.
"Leave it to the people of Huode Sect. They don't practice the essence of human spirit anymore. Consider it a mercy of the inheritance of Gexia for me."
Muttering to himself, Kong Ju looked at the upper part of the bookshelf again.
There were densely packed ancient books and some jade slips, which should be the jade slips containing elixir recipes.
Those are Kong Ju's main purpose of coming here.
Anyway, there is no rush to leave now. There is no one in the entire Shuangding Island who can threaten Kong Ju.
Kong Ju began to check them one by one. He picked up a few jade slips and looked at them while his eyes wandered around other areas of the cave.
It can be seen that the cave dwellings in Gexia are very simple.
Apart from the things on this bookshelf and the green tripods placed in the center of the cave, the only thing that caught Kong Ju's attention was a dusty tablet in the corner of the cave.
At this distance, Kong Ju could clearly see the words on the token.
The words "The spirit of my late beloved disciple, the Seven Killing Sword Han Xi" are engraved on it.
This is Han Xi's spirit tablet. Being able to address Han Xi as his beloved disciple shows that this token was obviously left by Ge Xia.
Seeing this, Kong Ju shook his head and sighed: "Ge Xia is a man who values love."
No matter how Ge Xia acts, he is always affectionate and caring towards the people around him.
It's unconditional love for Master, Han Xi, and Han Dong'er.
Even before he died, he couldn't help but mutter a few words because Kong Ju had inherited his alchemy skills, as if he regarded Kong Ju as the successor of alchemy.
He even asked to see him off.
According to etiquette, that is a requirement that a master has for his disciples.
Although he was feeling emotional, Kong Ju was not idle. After taking a look at the token, he continued to focus his attention on the pill recipe on the bookshelf.
Kong Ju glanced at the first- and second-grade pill recipes and put them down.
Second-grade pill recipes are only useful to Kong Jue unless they are rare recipes like the Great Mirror-Breaking Pill and the Foundation-Building Pill, or ancient recipes.
Kong Ju had already begun to look down upon the other second-grade items.
Therefore, he focused on selecting third-grade elixir recipes and ancient elixir recipes.
When Kong Ju was concentrating on the recipe of the elixir, the cave also became quiet.
Apart from the dull sound of tongues of fire occasionally gushing out from the center of the cave, no other sound could be heard.
In this way, Ningshuang seems too boring.
Because she didn't find the pills tasty after taking a bottle of them, she didn't even look at them again. Instead, she lay under the green cauldron, holding up her chin to watch the tongues of fire that were being drawn out from the ground.
Time passes slowly.
Select five pill recipes.
One of the recipes is a second-grade ancient recipe.
The remaining four recipes are all third-grade recipes, and are all useful to Kong Jue.
Among the four third-grade pill recipes, the one that made Kong Ju the most delighted was that one of them was actually the recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill.
The Soul-Restoring Pill is also an ancient pill recipe, and the main ingredient in its refining is the Soul-Restoring Lotus.
The Soul-Bearing Lotus has become extinct in the Xianyun Realm, but don’t forget that Kong Ju encountered a third-grade spiritual medicine when he landed in Chaodi Ancient City.
That third-grade elixir is the Soul-Restoring Lotus needed to refine the Soul-Restoring Pill.
"Fate, could it be God's will?" Kong Ju murmured, holding the black jade slip that recorded the recipe of the Soul-Restoring Pill in his hand, with a look of joy on his face.
What is the most serious injury for the great master of the palm of life?
It's not physical harm.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Because they have already left their physical bodies, their cultivation and life are all above their spirits and souls.
Once the soul is severely damaged, it will be fatal to the powerful one.
And this Soul-Restoring Pill is a life-saving miracle drug for the great master Zhang Sheng.
It can be said that ten thousand years ago, before the spiritual inspiration changed, the price of the Soul-Restoring Pill was already sky-high.
Although it is a third-grade elixir, it is sold at the price of a fourth-grade elixir.
In the current Xianyun Realm, this Soul-Restoring Pill is even more of a treasure.
The value will more than double tenfold.
"If used well, this Soul-Restoring Pill can be a second life for the powerful Palm Life Master."
Kong Ju was worried about having a magical medicine but no recipe for the elixir, so he found it in the Gexia Cave.
If this isn't God's will, then what is it?
"The biggest gain of this trip is the recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill." Kong Ju rubbed the recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill in his hand, and the smile in his eyes could not be concealed.
If this soul-restoring pill could be refined, it would be unique in the Xianyun Realm.
He can sell it at whatever price he wants.
Even if you don't sell it, you can keep it and give it to yourself or to a sect, which is also feasible.
Kong Jue's wonderful mood did not last long.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! A series of air-breaking sounds, accompanied by the fluctuations of spiritual power at the Ascension Wheel Realm, suddenly came from the cave passage into the Gexia Cave.
Although it was far away, it was beyond the warning range of the monks in the Shenglun realm.
But Kong Ju had cultivated his spiritual consciousness using the Jinming Spirit Refining Method.
His sharpness is not comparable to that of the Shenglun realm.
"The remnants of the Huode Sect have finally reacted." Kong Ju was not surprised by this.
He stayed in this cave for half a day, and it would be strange if the Huode Sect monks outside did not react.
Kong Ju put away the recipe and was about to get up to solve those problems.
"I'll go, I'll go!" Ningshuang, who had already shown signs of impatience, was not willing to miss this opportunity to relieve her boredom. After saying this, she turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the cave.
It was too late for Kong Ju to stop it, so he could only subconsciously say to the cave entrance: "Leave him alive!"
I don’t know if Ningshuang heard it.
In less than three or two breaths, a series of screams were heard outside the cave.
The Frost Palm is a powerful being, perhaps the weakest among the powerful palm-born beings.
It is effortless to deal with these remnants of the Huode Sect.
Kong Ju opened his virtual vision and glanced at the location where the battle broke out. After confirming that no one was dead, he slowly withdrew his gaze and said, "Not bad."
These remnants of the Huode Sect are the last flames of the Huode Sect, and none of them have cultivated the essence of the human spirit, so they have no way to die.
Kong Ju had received so many benefits from Ge Xia, so naturally he had to ask Ning Shuang to show mercy.
However, Ningshuang did not come back after dealing with those people, and Kong Ju was too lazy to care about it.
Anyway, Zhang Sheng can still walk around freely in the Endless Sea, so he is not worried about Ning Shuang's safety at all.
Without being disturbed by outsiders, Kong Ju was just about to take out the recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill to study it again.
After all, there is underground fire here, which is more helpful for alchemy than the furnace fire driven by elixirs.
Kong Ju planned to do some research and refine the soul-restoring pill here.
It was just when Kong Ju took out the black jade slip that recorded the recipe of the Soul-Restoring Pill again.
His finger accidentally touched a raised part of the jade slip.
Snap!
The recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill immediately made a crisp sound.
Then, under Kong Ju's dull gaze, the jade slip was cut in half along the side.
Half of the jade slip remained in Kong Ju's hand, while the other half slipped directly out of his hand.
Without waiting for it to land.
Buzz! A gentle spiritual power surged out from Kong Jue's body, lifting it up first.
"Not bad!" This unexpected incident frightened Kong Ju so much that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took the half jade slip in his hand.
If the recipe for the Soul-Returning Pill was broken this time, Kong Ju would slap himself twice.
However, during this process, Kong Jue's face, which still showed lingering fear, soon became abnormal.
When he touched the half of the jade slip that he had held up with his spiritual power, he found that it felt very wrong.
Apart from the fact that it is still black in color, the material is completely different from the other jade slip, which is more delicate and soft.
"There's something wrong with this jade slip of medicine!" Kong Ju narrowed his eyes, and he first immersed his consciousness in the half of the jade slip in his hand.
The recipe for the Soul-Restoring Pill was exactly the same, without any mistake due to the broken jade slip.
Obviously, this is the recipe for the soul-restoring pill.
"What about the other half of the jade slip?"
Kong Ju put his consciousness into the jade slip with a suspicious attitude.
This time it was no longer a pill recipe. The moment his consciousness sank into the jade slip, he felt the sky was dizzy and the earth was dark.
Consciousness came to a mysterious space.
The space was gray, as if covered by a layer of gauze.
A black jade tripod was floating in it, and white air was constantly spewing out from the jade tripod.
They did not dissipate after leaving the Jade Tripod, but instead condensed into words in the void.
"There is indeed a way!" Kong Ju narrowed his eyes and looked at the words condensed in the mist.
The first four words are 'Taixu Youshen!'
"It looks like a set of martial arts!" Kong Ju's eyes flashed across the handwriting, and his expression gradually became solemn.
It is indeed a set of exercises.
And it is very obscure.
Kong Ju's comprehension was so high that even a proud person like Huangfu Wuqin praised him.
You can do it just by performing the Moon Wheel Seal twice.
It took only three days to master the most advanced technique of Frost Moon Palace, Ancient Moon Chant.
Kong Ju felt that this martial art called Taixu Youshen was no less difficult than Gu Yueyin's.
"I think I discovered something incredible!" Kong Jue looked a little strange. (End of this chapter)
