"It's so dark in here, I can't see anything!"
"Senior Brother, could you conjure a fireball?"
As Li Zichen walked in the middle, he felt his hair stand on end, as if something terrifying was watching him from the darkness, ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
"There's not much oxygen in the passage, so let's not use fireballs. I have some solar-powered flashlights here, take one each!"
Lin Xue took out several solar-powered flashlights from her spatial storage and gave one to each of the two people.
Even 629's head was fitted with a miner's lamp.
"Master, what kind of magic weapon is this? It shines brighter than an oil lamp!"
This was the first time Li Zichen had ever seen a flashlight, and he held it in his hand with some surprise, playing with it.
"Master said this is a technological product, made using some special materials. If you're interested, junior brother, you can ask Master for more information in the future!"
Zhao Yunting was focused on cultivation and had no interest in weapon crafting, so although he liked what Lin Xue made, he had no desire to learn from her.
Li Zichen was more interested in these things. He had lived in the village since he was a child and had not seen many luxury goods. Now that he saw these small but practical items, he wanted to study them.
"Master, can I learn from you how to make a flashlight?"
Li Zichen looked expectantly at his master's back. With the flashlight illuminating the way, all the fear that had been growing in his heart vanished.
It is said that the unknown is the most terrifying thing. After he saw the scene inside the cave, his fear had long since vanished.
"Go back and ask the head steward for the information on making flashlights. Just follow the instructions and make one yourself!"
Lin Xue had more important things to do, so she didn't have time to teach her disciples how to make these little gadgets.
However, 629 has complete information. As long as the apprentice studies it carefully, making a flashlight is not difficult.
"Yes, Master!"
The three people and the fox walked a little further in and finally found a relatively large cave.
In the middle of the cave grew a bright red plant with several green fruits on it.
Around the cave, there are also some traces of human habitation carved out by humans.
For example, tables and chairs, and shelves on the walls.
Although there are signs that someone has lived here, apart from the tree in the middle, the entire cave is empty and there is nothing else.
"Host, this is the Crimson Flame Fruit Tree!"
"When the Crimson Flame Fruit ripens, it turns green. The fruit that grows is red, then slowly turns purple, and finally turns green when it is ripe!"
"This is the main ingredient for refining the Blazing Sun Pill. If a cultivator with a fire-type spiritual root consumes the Blazing Sun Pill, they may awaken a trace of the True Fire of the Sun!"
"However, these Crimson Flame Fruits can only be kept for three days after they are picked. After three days, their medicinal effects will disappear, and they will become ordinary fruits!"
629 meticulously searched for information about the plant in front of the host.
If its host still possessed spiritual power, refining pills would be a piece of cake, but now...
"Find the recipe for the Blazing Flame Pill, and I'll refine it into a pill right here and now, so I won't have to worry about the Crimson Flame Fruit expiring!"
Lin Xue glanced at the dozen or so Crimson Flame Fruits on the tree; there was no reason to let such a treasure go to waste.
"But host, you don't have any spiritual power at all, how can you refine pills?"
629 looked at its host with some concern. This must be the most frustrating world for the host.
After all, he had no spiritual power at all, and his inner core in his dantian had been dug out, so he would never have the chance to cultivate immortality in this lifetime.
Even as mission takers, they cannot stay in the mission world for long.
However, personal strength is extremely important; that is a person's true source of confidence.
"Although I can't refine pills, my eldest disciple can!"
"Is that right, Zhao Yunting?"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zhao Yunting.
Zhao Yunting was born with a single fire-type spiritual root. If he wanted to learn alchemy, he would be exceptionally talented and would be able to get the hang of it very quickly.
"Master, I've never refined pills before!"
When Zhao Yunting heard that his master wanted him to refine pills, he hesitated.
Although everyone says that those with a single fire-type spiritual root are born alchemists, he has never studied alchemy.
If this process fails, wouldn't it be a waste of medicinal herbs?
"Don't worry, your teacher is here to guide you."
"I will teach you step by step, and I promise that no medicinal herbs will be wasted!"
After saying that, Lin Xue instructed everyone to start preparing and found a flat open space in the middle of the field to take out the alchemy furnace.
Then, he explained some knowledge about alchemy to Zhao Yunting on the spot, so that Zhao Yunting would have a clear understanding of it.
Then he guided him step by step in refining the medicinal materials, showing him how to control the heat.
It can be said that Lin Xue directed every step perfectly.
The master and apprentice worked together very well, and although the first batch of pills was of slightly lower quality, it was still a success.
Because of the first success, and with his master by his side.
As Zhao Yunting practiced making the pills, he became more and more adept at it.
When it came to the last few batches, he didn't need Lin Xue's guidance at all; he refined the pills on his own.
"Senior Brother, you're amazing! You succeeded on your first try, and you almost never failed afterward!"
Li Zichen looked at his senior brother with stars in his eyes, his heart filled with admiration.
My senior brother is so powerful, I must also work hard to cultivate myself.
I heard that it only took my senior brother three years to go from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the peak of Foundation Establishment.
I must work harder in my cultivation. I dare not say I can surpass my senior brother, but at least I shouldn't fall too far behind.
"It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching. If my master hadn't been guiding me all along, I wouldn't have been able to get the hang of it so quickly!"
Being admired by my junior brother, Zhao Yunting couldn't help but feel a little proud.
After all, they're all young people; who doesn't have a bit of pride?
"Alright, all the Crimson Flame Fruits have been picked. It's time for us to leave!"
"Tongzi, find a way to move this fruit tree!"
If the fruit tree were dug up directly using normal methods, it would probably wither and die as soon as it was taken out.
However, 629 naturally has its own way of handling this kind of thing.
Since the two apprentices couldn't handle this, they had to rely on their own system.
"Host, you take Xiao Zhao and Xiao Li ahead first, I'll catch up with you in a bit!"
Although 629 is capable of doing it, this matter cannot be seen by outsiders.
It could only let its own host and two apprentices go forward first; it had to find a way to dig up the Crimson Flame Fruit Tree.
"Hurry up, we'll try to walk slowly and wait for you."
After saying this, he ignored his two curious disciples and led them further into the cave.
