Passing through the light curtain, Qin Ran's eyes flashed and darkened, and he came to a dark, damp and narrow cave.
He opened his eyes wide and carefully observed the cave in front of him. The small cave was extremely simple, as if it was a naturally formed, ancient cave without human traces. He couldn't help but look back and saw that the formation pattern on the moss-covered mountain wall was disappearing, proving that he had indeed walked out of the last alchemy room, and this place was indeed outside the seal, in Shenhua Mountain.
So he fell into deep doubt.
Could this be the place where Elder Shenhua passed down his legacy?
Old Man Shenhua was the peerless warrior who dominated the world and was extremely famous in the Seven Islands tens of thousands of years ago.
Could it be that this is what his inheritance place looks like?
Could it be that the major forces in the entire Tianhai region have been planning for countless years and assassinating countless lives, all they are seeking is a place like this?
He suspected that he had come to the wrong place.
The cave in front of Qin Ran was not as big as the one arranged by the owner of Longjing Island. The size of this cave was about the same as an ordinary room, no more than 40 feet high and no more than 50 square meters in area. It looked a bit depressing and narrow.
He appeared at a wall of the cave. He stood there and looked forward at the entire cave. He saw that the entire cave was empty, with nothing in it. Only on the wall facing him, a little in the middle, there was a withered skeleton.
The skeleton was sitting cross-legged on a white cushion, with its back to this side and its head lowered towards the mountain wall. The skeleton didn't look anything special, but in its abdominal cavity, there was a ball of red and blue water that was extremely colorful and looked like burning flames.
Although it felt incredible, and he didn’t really want to admit it, and even felt a little disappointed, Kieran still knew:
This is the place where the old demon Shenhua was passed down; this is the place where the old demon Shenhua retreated for the last time, hoping to become an immortal; the dry bones opposite are the old demon Shenhua.
The old demon Shenhua was just a pile of dry bones, and it was impossible to tell who was who; but the water in his body, which had a powerful and sacred aura, was undoubtedly the Shenhua Immortal Condensation.
Looking at the withered bones, Qin Ran didn't know how to describe the emotions in his heart. It was quite complicated.
It turns out that no matter how heroic you are, no matter how brilliant you are, you can never defeat the passage of time! In the end, you are nothing but a handful of dry bones and yellow earth.
"Alas!" Qin Ran sighed to himself.
He walked on the wet ground of the cave, and with the sound of "pat pat pat", he walked to the other side. He did not go behind the old demon Shenhua, nor did he go directly to take the Shenhua Immortal Condensation. He walked in front of the dry bones of the old demon Shenhua.
It must be said that he has gained too much from the Shenhua Old Demon. It is reasonable for him to be more respectful to the Shenhua Old Demon.
Qin Ran looked at the dry bones in front of him and did not sense any aura of a strong man emanating from him or his bones. He was just a pile of dry bones.
There was no flesh, no skin, no clothes, no powerful magic weapon on the bones. The withered bones only contained the divine energy in the body, the storage ring on the finger, and the cushion under the body.
It’s quite dreary, sad and mournful.
He recalled the strong and majestic voice of the old demon Shenhua in the last light curtain. He must be a tall and strong powerful cultivator with extremely strong vitality who dared to fight against heaven and earth.
But in front of me...
A tear fell from the corner of Qin Ran's eye.
After a while, Qin Ran raised his head and looked around the cave.
From this simple and undecorated cave, we can know that in the last moments of his life, the old demon Shenhua simply found a mountain on the sea, opened a cave on the mountain, and carried out the last retreat of his life.
I don’t know what kind of mentality he had when he was in seclusion at the end of his life; but I know that he was still practicing until the last moment of his life.
But, such a person...
He never became an immortal after all.
If you can’t become an immortal, you’ll just be a pile of bones.
A genius of his generation, made successful by Shenhua Xianning, and failed by Shenhua Xianning.
Sad! Deplorable!! And pitiful.
Qin Ran looked at the colorful Shenhua Xian Ning in the dry bones. Standing here at this moment, he could clearly sense the power of Shenhua Xian Ning, and at the same time, he could also clearly see the shackles of Shenhua Xian Ning.
The old demon Shenhua never became an immortal in the end.
"well!"
He sighed. He didn't know how many times he sighed since entering the cave.
He summoned the Shuihua Pearl, took out a Shenhua Pill and a Xianning Pill from it and stuffed them into his mouth.
Shenhua Pill and Xianning Pill are pills made based on Shenhua Xianning. When collecting Shenhua Xianning, taking these two pills will greatly reduce the difficulty and pain.
Although he was in the state of Yuan Shen, as soon as the two pills were swallowed, the medicinal power spread and immediately bloomed in his Yuan Shen like a drop of ink. The divine aura and immortal concentration intertwined with each other, making him think that he had the power of immortals and gods, and he could hardly control himself.
He used his strong character to control his mind in time, calmed himself, stretched out his hand forward, and was about to reach in and take away the divine essence from the dry bones.
He had been planning for so long and had been through so many things, and although he had obtained a lot of resources in the process, he was only doing it for the Shenhua Xianning in front of him.
He wanted to use the Shenhua Xianzhen to reshape his body and transform the Shenhua Xianzhen into elixir water for his clone.
Now that the Shenhua Xianning was right in front of him, no matter how strong his character was, he couldn't help but get excited.
But just as his fingers were about to touch the dry bones of the Shenhua old demon, he controlled himself and stopped forcefully.
Because he suddenly realized one thing: If he took away the Shenhua Xian Ning, what would happen to the withered bones of the Shenhua old demon?
This dry bone has been here for tens of thousands of years. Even if the old demon Shenhua has a cultivation level close to that of an immortal god... once he takes away the Shenhua Immortal Condensation, the dry bone will surely turn to ashes in an instant.
So he hesitated.
He looked at the old demon Shenhua. This senior who was called a demon but acted like an immortal. He had received too many benefits from him.
He taught him the complete art of water-based alchemy, and even the magic art of refining elixirs, the whole set was handed over to him; he gave him more than ten elixirs and recipes of extremely high grade and quality; and indirectly taught him the art of formations in the Tianhai domain.
The old demon Shenhua is no different from his master.
Is he going to treat his master like this?
He thought about it, withdrew his hand, cleared the ground in front of him, and then knelt down.
He must get the Shenhua Xianning, but before taking the Shenhua Xianning, he can apologize to this "master". It can also be regarded as a thank you for giving him something.
Three bows and nine kowtows were his greatest apology and respect to the old demon Shenhua.
"I know I am a bit of a beast. ...Master, I am sorry."
After bowing, Qin Ran looked at the dry bones of the Shenhua old demon and was still ashamed of his shamelessness.
But he still stood up and reached out his hand to the dry bones of the Shenhua old demon again.
And this time, he still stopped when his hand was about to touch the dry bones, because at this time, the whole cave suddenly began to shake!
"?" Qin Ran was startled and stepped back quickly, looking around. "What happened again?"
As the cave continued to shake, the ground cracked just behind the old demon Shenhua, slowly opening to both sides, revealing a dazzling pit.
Qin Ran frowned, not understanding what was going on. He looked inside and saw a crystal-like transparent coffin in the pit, surrounded by some dolls, ritual implements, books, cloth and other burial objects.
He came to realize that this was the coffin and tomb prepared for himself by the old demon Shenhua.
The deep pit opened, and the light shone on the dry bones of the Shenhua old demon. The dry bones turned into powder. Perhaps the wind blew out of nowhere, or it was controlled by some strange force. The bone powder floated up and floated into the crystal coffin in the pit.
Then, the coffin closed automatically.
When the crystal coffin was opened, it was transparent and visible. Now that it was closed, although it was still a crystal coffin, the inside could not be seen from the outside. After the coffin was closed, the deep pit did not undergo any further changes.
“He even prepared a tomb for himself…” Qin Ran thought, “Does he want me to fill it with soil to show my filial piety?”
But when he saw the burial objects in the pit, greed suddenly arose in his heart.
It’s not his fault, because the books in the pit are probably the essence of the skills that the Shenhua old demon has obtained in his life; the magic weapons inside must also be the treasures of the Shenhua old demon.
These things, such an immeasurable wealth, cannot help but tempt people.
But he didn't go down immediately. He suppressed the greed in his heart, secretly cursed himself for being a bad person... and hesitated.
He forced himself to retract his gaze and looked in front of him, at what was left after the old demon Shenhua's bones turned into ashes: the Shenhua Immortal Condensation was floating in the air, and the water inside was boiling as if it had life; the storage ring was also floating in the air, and no one knew what good things were inside; the white cushion on the ground had not disappeared yet.
Looking at these three things, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind:
The dry bones turned into powder only after he kowtowed. What would have happened if he had not kowtowed and directly taken the Shenhua Xian Ning or the storage ring?
He had a vague feeling that what happened must not be a good thing.
Just then, the cave began to shake again.
He looked forward and saw that the grave was slowly closing.
Looking at the closed grave in front of him, he suddenly realized something...
The reason why the tomb was not closed immediately was that it was waiting for someone to go down and take the burial objects. Once someone really went to take the burial objects, it would be hard to say what would happen.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Because it wasn't just the grave in front of him, when he reviewed everything he had encountered along the way, it seemed to be like this.
If a cultivator who doesn't know how to make elixirs comes in, and he has to learn it from scratch, then how long will it take him to learn it?
What will happen if the alchemist who enters the sealed space does not follow the steps of learning alchemy and then making the elixir?
What would happen if the alchemist’s skills were poor and he couldn’t make the required elixir?
What will happen if you reach the alchemy room where the Yin-Yang Immortal Pill is located, but fail to realize that the light curtain there is fake?
If he had just arrived at the cave and rushed straight towards the dry bones, he would have stepped on the grave of the Shenhua old demon.
What would have happened if he had not kowtowed and directly reached out to take the Shenhua Xiangen?
Plus the burial objects in the tomb just now...
In addition, if he used low-grade elixirs to open the light curtain, then what he got must also be low-grade elixirs...
Only then did he understand that there was a reason why the Shenhua Old Demon was called the Shenhua Old Demon.
This is not a demonic character, but he is not an immortal character either. He is a chaotic, evil character.
Chaotic justice in all its glory.
He would generously pass on his inheritance, and teach his successors with warmth and care, but at the same time, he would also leave some small traps and pranks... pranks that could kill people.
Qin Ran couldn't help but look up, because he suddenly suspected that the old demon Shenhua had been watching him from behind. This old demon who had played with people's hearts tens of thousands of years ago, tens of thousands of years later.
But he didn't see any living creature other than himself in this damp cave.
"Huh..." He took a breath, calmed himself down, and forced himself to regain his composure.
He looked at the Shenhua Xianning in front of him again and again, and was a little suspicious for a moment, suspecting that this was another prank by the old demon Shenhua, and that this was a fake Shenhua Xianning.
But he recalled that he had not suffered any loss along the way. As long as he followed the rules of the Shenhua Demon, the Shenhua Demon would always give generous rewards. There was no need for him to tamper with the Shenhua Immortal Condensation.
He looked at the Shenhua Xianning, hesitated, and finally when the Shenhua Dan and Xianning Dan in his body were about to lose their effectiveness, he jumped forward and jumped into the Shenhua Xianning.
