Although offending the Demon Medical Alliance would do more harm than good, he could not care less for the sake of the Heavenly Demon Map.
Anyway, the Yuwen family also had a demon doctor and an alchemist, but their strength was not as good, but they did not necessarily have to rely on the Demon Medical Alliance.
But without the Heavenly Demon Map, the Yuwen family would lose their biggest support, and they might be wiped out one day.
"Wait, have you forgotten the Demon Heart Order?" The Great Elder frowned and shouted.
The Fifth Elder was shocked and stopped.
Offending the Demon Medical Alliance was not a big deal for the time being, but offending the Demon Heart Order was different. That meant being ungrateful and making an enemy of the entire Demon Dao.
Not to mention that their Yuwen family was only one of the four great demon cultivation families, even if it was a hidden family, it could not afford such consequences.
"Then, are we just going to let it go?" The Fifth Elder said unwillingly.
"The Heavenly Demon Map is the foundation of our Yuwen family, so we can't just let it go. Let's go to the Demon Sun Valley to find someone and see if we can convince her to return the Heavenly Demon Map, or redeem it. If she refuses, we'll think of another way." Yuwen Dingfang said thoughtfully.
"The head of the family is wise, let's do as the head of the family says." The elder nodded.
Then, Yuwen Dingfang led several elders and headed to the Demon Sun Valley in person.
They didn't know that Gu Qingxi had broken through the space and came to another secret realm.
Unlike the lush and green Demon Sun Valley secret realm, this secret realm is rocky and desolate, and even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has a sense of vastness and antiquity.
"It's here. I came to this secret realm last time. Qingxi, look, are these herbs very different from those in Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent?" Murong Yi pointed to a few herbs not far away and said excitedly.
Gu Qingxi was stunned. She originally thought that Murong Yi was busy eating all day, so she was ignorant and could not recognize these herbs. Now she knew she was wrong.
Not to mention Murong Yi, even she did not recognize these herbs.
If I remember correctly, not only Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent, but even Tianyuan Continent did not have such herbs.
Gu Qingxi took a few steps forward, bent down, carefully dug out a herb, and looked at it carefully.
"Could it be the Desolate Grass!" Suddenly, a light flashed in her mind.
"What Desolate Grass?" Murong Yi had never heard of the Desolate Grass in the world of cultivation, and asked in confusion.
"The Desolate Grass is a kind of herb that grew in the prehistoric times and became extinct tens of thousands of years ago." Gu Qingxi brought the herb in front of her, smelled the fragrance of the medicine, and concentrated her consciousness to explore the medicinal properties, confirming that this was the Desolate Grass recorded in ancient books.
That ancient book was found in a cultivation cave left by a senior when she was training with Le Kong and Feng Xia Tian in her previous life. It recorded many medicinal herbs that had become extinct at that time.
Gu Qingxi did not expect that after tens of thousands of years since her last death, she would actually see the ancient spiritual herbs recorded in the book.
"What, you said this is an ancient treasure!" Murong Yi said with shining eyes in surprise.
"It can't be considered an ancient treasure, at most it is an ancient spiritual herb. In terms of medicinal properties and potency, it is actually only equivalent to a seventh-grade medicinal herb." Gu Qingxi explained.
Not everything is better the older it is. The reason why antiques are valuable is not because of how good they are, but because of their age. Rare things are precious.
The same is true for ancient spiritual herbs such as Huang Lingcao. Although they are rare, they are far less precious than ancient treasures.
"In other words, it is useless?" The golden light that had just ignited in Murong Yi's eyes immediately extinguished.
"That's not the case. Many of the pill recipes that have been passed down since ancient times originally used the prehistoric spiritual herbs. It was only because the prehistoric spiritual herbs gradually became extinct that other medicinal materials were used to replace them. However, because the medicinal power is not as pure as the prehistoric spiritual herbs, the quality of the refined pills is much worse.
For example, the Yuxu Qingyang Pill is only an eighth-grade pill now, but if two of the herbs are replaced with wild spiritual herbs, the pills that are refined will be ninth-grade pills, and the success rate can be increased by at least 20%." Gu Qingxi said while collecting several other wild spiritual herbs.
With her alchemy skills and divine sense, the success rate of alchemy is not a problem, but she cannot improve the grade of the pills. Even if she refines nine pills in one furnace, all of them are top-grade pills, but the seventh-grade ones are still seventh-grade, and the eighth-grade ones are still eighth-grade.
With the wild spiritual herbs, it is different. Not only can the eighth-grade pills such as the Yuxu Qingyang Pill be upgraded to the ninth-grade, but the pill power is increased several times. In addition, some pill recipes that have been lost due to medicinal materials have the possibility of being refined.
"It turns out that the ancient spiritual herbs have such a wonderful use." Murong Yi became excited again and helped to collect spiritual herbs.
Although she also knew how to make pills, she mainly practiced swordsmanship, so the ancient spiritual herbs she collected were naturally given to Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi came to this secret realm to find Zhuo Moying, so of course she would not spend too much effort on the ancient spiritual herbs. She put the few ancient spiritual herbs into the storage bracelet and walked with Murong Yi into the depths of the secret realm.
As she walked, Murong Yi recalled what she saw and heard when she entered the secret realm last time.
However, she was busy looking for food everywhere at that time, and actually didn't pay attention to anything. She said she was recalling, but in fact she was just complaining all the way.
Facts have proved that her complaints are reasonable. This secret realm is too desolate. After walking for several days, let alone spiritual fruits, she didn't even see a common game such as pheasants and rabbits.
On the way, she found more than a dozen ancient spiritual herbs one after another, totaling more than 200 plants.
This number sounds like a lot, but it is far from enough for an alchemist.
Unfortunately, once the herbs leave their original growth environment, their vitality will quickly dry up, even if they are placed in a storage bag or storage bracelet, and this is even more true for the ancient spiritual herbs. Otherwise, Gu Qingxi really wants to find a suitable medicine garden to try whether it can be artificially planted and survive.
Of course, this is just a thought. Planting spiritual herbs is too time-consuming and laborious. Even if she really finds a suitable medicine garden, she simply doesn't have the time.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingxi subconsciously touched the Sumeru Bodhi hanging on her chest.
It is said that after refining the Sumeru Bodhi, an endless independent space can be opened up, and even a small world of one's own can be formed. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to carry a medicine garden with you and plant whatever herbs you want?
But I don't know how to refine this legendary treasure of heaven and earth?
On the way to Moyang Valley, Gu Qingxi had actually tried several times, but all ended in failure.
This is normal. The Bifang bird spent so much effort and even stayed on the Wentian Terrace to borrow the space turbulence, but in the end it failed to refine the Sumeru Bodhi. It is not so easy for her to refine it successfully.
Gu Qingxi always felt that refining Xumi Bodhi might require some kind of opportunity, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what this opportunity was.
"It's strange, how could there be such a desolate secret place in the world, with nothing delicious to eat." Gu Qingxi was thinking about Xumi Bodhi, and Murong Yi said doubtfully again.
Well, doubt is fake, and habitual complaints are real.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should not be a secret place, but a lost land." Gu Qingxi said.
"Lost land?" Murong Yi didn't quite understand what she meant.
