However, it wasn't long before Chi Jiao and Ao Ying came to their senses. The only person who could see through their true identities so easily and speak to them in such a tone could only be the enormous dragon claw below.
"A true dragon cannot stay in this world for too long, and the heavenly calamity will befall you soon. But this is not a big problem. As long as you are fully prepared, the heavenly calamity will be nothing. What is really scary is the human calamity!" Long Ao's voice echoed in their ears again.
The two people's reactions to these words were completely different. The red dragon's face was filled with confusion. It simply didn't understand what Long Ao meant. In its view, heavenly tribulations were far more ferocious and powerful than battles with human cultivators. Why did it say that human tribulations were the most terrifying? Ao Ying, on the other hand, nodded in complete agreement, expressing its deep conviction in Long Ao's words.
At this moment, Long Ao's words could only be heard by the two people who possessed true dragon bodies. After Su Rui and the others landed safely on the ground, they immediately discussed their experiences and the news they had gained from visiting the Immortal Palace with Wu Qianqian, completely unaware of the subtle changes in Chi Jiao and Ao Ying's expressions.
Elsewhere, Wu Qianqian, upon hearing of Su Rui and the others' discoveries at the Langya Immortal Mansion, could not help but feel envious. It turned out that the Putuo Sect, one of the most powerful sects in the South China Sea and a frequent patroller of the region, was well aware of the Langya Immortal Mansion's planned opening in Luoshengou. However, the Putuo Sect showed little interest in the treasures and heritage within the Langya Immortal Mansion, seemingly preoccupied with other pressing matters. Consequently, Wu Qianqian was unable to participate in the event.
After everyone enjoyed a sumptuous seafood feast that Wu Qianqian had meticulously prepared, she immediately arranged a resting place for everyone within the Lesser Southern Heavens. Su Rui had just taken a seat in the guest room Wu Qianqian had arranged when a maid arrived to announce that the Sect Master would be free the following day to meet and chat with everyone.
Su Rui looked up at the sky, realizing it was still early and lacking the energy to cultivate, so he decided to sort through all the items he had obtained from the Langya Immortal Mansion. After a careful inventory, he found the Jiuyi Cauldron to be the most precious treasure. Not only was it a high-ranking Yuanling magical weapon, but more importantly, it contained an innate Yuantai, possessing the extremely rare power to absorb treasures and protect the body.
As for the silver-white sword pill mixed in with the pill bottles and medicine jars, he had previously ignored it because he was eager to find the treasure. Now, after taking it out and examining it carefully, Su Rui was surprised to find that the quality of this sword pill was so excellent. Taking advantage of the ample time now, Su Rui immediately began to refine this sword pill.
Apparently, this sword pill had been set aside shortly after its creation, with only two restrictions placed within. Its potential for future growth was immense. Furthermore, the sword pill contained a storage space. While small, measuring only three meters in radius, it was a rare find for Su Rui. After all, besides the Black Mountain Divine Seal, this was the second time he had obtained a flying sword with a built-in storage space.
Looking at the suspended sword ball before him, which was gleaming with a cold and sharp silver light, like a bright moon hanging high above a tree branch, Su Rui thought to himself, "I really need to find an opportunity to study the art of refining a flying sword, so that the quality of this sword ball can be raised to a higher level!"
As for the "Five Elements Escape Technique" and the token engraved with the word "Ugly", there is no need to elaborate - the former is suspected to be one of the inheritances of Langya Immortal Mansion; the latter is one of the tokens that holds the key to Langya Immortal Mansion. It can be said that both are extremely valuable gains.
There was also a cushion that looked like it was made of dry straw. Su Rui took it out and sat on it directly. He immediately felt the scent of sandalwood, which lifted his spirits.
Su Rui then produced a scroll of alchemy manual and a three-legged red copper furnace. However, because the manual's characters were written in a complex and difficult-to-understand dragon and phoenix seal script, he was completely unable to grasp its profound meaning. Therefore, Su Rui decided to give the manual to Xiaotu, asking him to help him decipher it.
Now, only the three-legged red copper cauldron stood alone before him. Su Rui quickly rummaged through the various materials he had brought with him. To his surprise, he actually found a recipe for the Rejuvenating Pill, complete with the key ingredient, the Crimson Pearl Grass. This intensified his desire to try refining the pill himself.
He called in the maidservant from Putuo Sect who was waiting outside the door and told her to watch the door and not to enter the house if she heard any sound. Then he gathered his true energy and ignited the alchemy furnace.
The Rejuvenating Pill was the most basic elixir, and many cultivators would often choose to start with the Rejuvenating Pill or the Fasting Pill when practicing alchemy. However, Su Rui had never dabbled in the art of alchemy.
Fortunately, when I was reading books in the Qingcheng Sutra Library, I had read many classic works, including some introductory books on alchemy, and these books happened to record the basic methods and steps required to refine the anti-aging pill.
So, he asked Xiaotu to impart to him the knowledge from an entry-level book on alchemy, and then he embarked on his own journey of alchemy.
I didn't sleep that night.
The next morning, when Wu Qianqian came to find him and invited him to go with her to meet the sect leader, she saw that Su Rui's eyes were bloodshot, and he was holding an object that looked like charcoal in his hand, and he kept muttering some spell.
"Su Erlang, are you refining the elixir here?"
Wu Qianqian reached out and snatched the charcoal-black bead from his hand, holding it before her eyes and examining it carefully. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but once she did, she was astonished—although the bead looked like it had been burned to charcoal, it actually contained a faint trace of extremely weak spiritual energy!
