After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 771 The Mountain Lord's Underground Palace, The Whereabouts of the Fusang Tree!
"Sum juice?"

Chen Yang paused slightly, then took out the silk scroll that appeared to be a treasure map that he had taken from Xu Guanghan.

"Is this the treasure map of Sam's Juice?" Chen Yang asked immediately.

When this thing was placed with sambal juice, Chen Yang naturally assumed that the scroll was related to sambal juice.

But the drawing was really hasty. Chen Yang took the arched parts as mountains and the winding parts as water.

However, upon closer inspection, it doesn't resemble a mountain or water, offering no reference points or text markings. If this were a treasure map, finding its exact location based on the image would be an incredibly difficult task.

Some time ago, he even used AI image recognition on his computer to compare the map, but he still couldn't get a definite answer.

I don't know if the AI ​​is too weak, or if this is not a treasure map at all.

However, Xu Guanghan definitely knew what was in this picture.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree quickly provided him with the answer: "The pattern on this silk is indeed related to Sangmu juice, and it is indeed a map, but it is a map of the underground palace where the Sangmu tree grows. The lines on it are the doors and walls in the underground palace. The circled areas are the locations where the Sangmu tree's roots are imprisoned, and the exposed areas are the locations where Sangmu tree juice can be obtained..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. An underground palace? Is this a topographical map of an underground palace?
Did Xu Guanghan draw it himself?

He examined the records on the silk again. There were indeed some circles drawn between the rough lines, five in total. One of the circles in the middle of the silk was slightly larger.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "The Sangmu Tree is also called the Fusang Tree. It is a legendary immortal tree. In Xu Guanghan's memory, the Sangmu Tree should have been a Celestial Realm being, but its consciousness has most likely been destroyed and its trunk is imprisoned deep in the underground palace, so the danger level is not high. Every year, he would personally go here to collect some Sangmu juice and send it back to the Gu God Sect..."

"Where is this underground palace?" Chen Yang asked immediately.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "In the tomb of Zhao Quanzhen, the last mountain lord, on Mount Si'e..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang was greatly surprised and carefully examined the silk in his hand.

What is drawn on this is the terrain of the tomb in Si'e Mountain.
Chen Yang had visited Zhao Quanzhen's tomb, and he had also bound Mount Si'e to it.

Inside that underground palace, Chen Yang also killed a giant slug at the Dao True Realm.

"This large circle in the middle is where Zhao Quanzhen's tomb is located, but Xu Guanghan has never been inside. It seems to be guarded by ferocious beasts, but he guesses that the main trunk of the Sangmu tree should be inside the tomb..."

“These small circles outside are the locations where he collects sambal juice. He can collect hundreds of drops at a time, and he does this once a year…”

……

The Three Corpse Tree recounted the memories it had extracted from Xu Guanghan's body.

While it may not be entirely comprehensive, it has a basic understanding of the essential information.

Chen Yang had a deep impression of Zhao Quanzhen's tomb, which was also recorded in the Shushan Chronicle given to him by his uncle.

The tomb entrance was a huge crystal wall with a rotating lock on it. It could only be opened with a Mountain Demon Seal. He had tried before, but he had used up several Mountain Demon Seals without success.

Huang Daolin finally arrived and stopped them.

Because there is a tomb guardian beast inside, a hui, a servant of Zhao Shanjun.

A powerful viper.

It resembles a snake but is not a snake, it resembles a dragon but is not a dragon.

At that time, Chen Yang was only separated by the crystal wall and could only see a blurry shadow, but he was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder on the spot.

It's easy to imagine how powerful that thing must be.

It is definitely a being at the Dao True Realm.

Of course, Chen Yang was only at the Spirit Realm at that time, so it was normal for him to be afraid when he encountered such an existence.

Now that his cultivation has improved and he has condensed his primordial spirit, even if he encounters a Dao True Realm being, he will not necessarily be intimidated by the power of the primordial spirit as before.

However, if the true form of the Sangmu tree is in Zhao Quanzhen's tomb, then the serpent in that tomb, having guarded the Sangmu tree for so long and relying on Sangmu juice, must have reached an unimaginable level of cultivation.

That is definitely an extremely powerful and ferocious creature.

Chen Yang held the silk scroll in his hand for a long time, but his mind was preoccupied with a problem.

It is said that sam juice can restore youth and extend lifespan. Moreover, it has an extremely powerful effect: if a powerful person with a primordial spirit takes it, it can greatly enhance the strength of the primordial spirit. Just one drop can save a Dao True Realm expert from years of arduous cultivation.

Chen Yang wasn't sure if the claims about restoring youth and replenishing lifespan were true, but he was certain that it would enhance the strength of his primordial spirit.

After all, Chen Yang had the Three Corpse Divine Tree try it.

It's a bit of an exaggeration that a single drop could exempt a Dao True Realm cultivator from several years of arduous cultivation. However, according to the Three Corpse Divine Tree's estimation, it's still possible to exempt an early-stage Dao True Realm cultivator from a year of arduous cultivation.

Take the results Chen Yang just tested as an example. Without the aid of elixirs, it would probably take him three or four days to increase his Yuan Shen by 1 point when cultivating the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill. At this rate, he would only gain about 100 points of Yuan Shen per year.

If an ordinary early-stage Dao Realm cultivator's cultivation speed is similar to Chen Yang's, then they would only increase their Yuan Shen cultivation by one rank per year.

In other words, a drop of sam juice can roughly raise one's rank of Nascent Soul.

Of course, Chen Yang's conclusion was based on his analysis of the Three Corpse Divine Tree.

We'll have to try it to find out the specifics.

Fortunately, he still had quite a bit of samosa juice on him.

The sam juice I got from Xu Guanghan was a small amount, but it was still about five drops.

A few days ago at Dawa Mountain, I obtained a considerable amount of Sangmu juice from the Gu God Cult, probably about twenty-five or twenty-six drops.

In total, there should be thirty drops.

Besides sam juice, there was also more than half a bottle of Three Corpse Divine Water, which was over a hundred milliliters.

These are all items used by the Gu God Sect to trade with the Divine Fire Sect.

He won't be able to use the Three Corpse Divine Water, but Chen Yang can try the Sangmu Juice now.

Immediately, Chen Yang took out the bottle containing the sambal juice.

This thing must possess extremely strong energy.

Therefore, Chen Yang did not dare to take too much medicine rashly. He went to his grandfather's room and found a dropper that his grandfather used to measure medicine before.

I gently sipped a little sam juice and then dripped it onto my tongue.

Saliva was secreted, quickly wrapped around the back of the tongue, and swallowed down the throat.

It didn't have any special taste, just a slightly sweet one. But after a while, a burning energy quickly started burning up in my stomach.

So fierce?
Chen Yang felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and a powerful energy surged like a raging sea, rushing directly towards his celestial inspiration.

He dared not delay and quickly continued to cultivate the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill, refining its medicinal power.

……

-

The sun is rising.

In half a night, Chen Yang refined five drops of samum juice.

“Primordial Spirit: 5506”.

The strength of his primordial spirit increased by five grades, to about 500 points.

In other words, just as Chen Yang estimated, a drop of samum juice can indeed raise one's cultivation level by one grade.

The effect is really good.

"If there were enough sangmu juice, why would we need to refine pills or develop cultivation techniques?" Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh.

With the medicinal power of the sangmu juice, Chen Yang suddenly felt that even the old horse of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill might not be unable to pull his cart.

The Three Corpse Divine Tree said, "You can't rely solely on Sangmu juice, can you? What if you run out? Will you stop improving? Besides, who knows if there's a limit to how much you can use?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "Old Tree, you know how to spoil the fun."

"I'm reminding you of the facts," the Three Corpse Divine Tree said. "No matter what it is, what you control in your own hands is truly yours. Alchemy is a skill you can learn..."

He started preaching again.

Chen Yang listened awkwardly.

The thirty or so drops of sangmu juice in his hand were enough to raise his primordial spirit cultivation to the eightieth rank.

But what happens after you've used it?

“Old Tree, the mulberry juice is so effective, I think it’s really worthwhile to visit the Mountain Lord’s Tomb on Mount Si’e…” Chen Yang said.

“It is necessary, absolutely necessary,” Wu Lei Zhenren echoed.

How could it be unnecessary? Although the Five Thunder Immortals are in the primordial spirit form and do not need sangmu juice, it is Zhao Quanzhen's mountain tomb. Could there be Zhao Quanzhen's Dharma body inside?

If so, could he emulate Ding Huanchun and directly possess his primordial spirit in his physical body, gaining a powerful body at the Celestial Realm level, thus being reborn and able to walk openly in the world again?

Of course, according to the Three Corpse Divine Tree, Ding Huanchun was bound by Chen Tianyang's physical body, and his primordial spirit could not escape.

Why should I escape? I already possess a physical body at the Celestial Realm level, why would I need to escape?
Therefore, Wu Lei Zhenren was quite interested in going to Zhao Quanzhen's tomb.

"This one……"

The Three Corpse Divine Tree chuckled dryly, "How about we wait two more days? I haven't fully deciphered some of Xu Guanghan's memories yet, including the specific situation inside the underground palace. Once I've figured out the details, we can discuss whether or not we should go, or if we can even go."

"also."

Chen Yang nodded.

Anyway, the sambal juice we have left will last us a few more days. We can wait until the Three Corpse Divine Tree has figured out the situation in the underground palace before deciding whether to go or not.

This sam juice is also extremely tempting to the Three Corpse Divine Tree.

Moreover, it probably shares the same idea as the Five Thunder Immortal.

If this Sangmu tree is really just a shell, can it directly possess the Sangmu tree with its primordial spirit?

That Sangmu tree was once a being of the Celestial Realm.

If this idea comes to fruition, then it might not need to bother asking Chen Yang to help it find the seeds of the Three Corpse Tree.

The two men, each with their own thoughts, found Zhao Quanzhen's tomb, a place of great allure to them. As long as the danger level wasn't too high, they would both want to explore it.

……

-

Huangjiacun.

Today, Huang Ying returned, and Chen Yang specially went to the county town to pick her up.

She took a long leave of absence after breaking through to the Spirit Realm. Under Huang Daolin's guidance, she has now stabilized her realm and become familiar with her increased power.

The holiday is almost over, and it's time to go back to school. After all, summer vacation will be here again in just a few days.

Inside the room, Huang Ying was preparing her lesson plans, while Chen Yang, after taking a nap, went to the courtyard to help Huang Daolin refine pills.

Refining the Heart-Refining Pill.

Huang Daolin put in a lot of effort on this trip to Dawa Mountain, but it was not without its rewards.

The biggest find was the batch of "Human Souls" unearthed from under the Tong Family Ancestral Hall.

This thing is a key ingredient used to refine the Heart-Refining Pill; it's something that's hard to come by.

Just then, Chen Antai ran out of the human soul fragment he had left behind. It was like a pillow being delivered to someone who was just looking for a place to sleep. It was all so easy.

Although most of these human soul fragments are not as high quality as the one left by Chen Antai, they are enough to refine the Heart Refining Pill.

According to Huang Daolin's estimate, there should be no problem in refining twenty batches.

Even if only two or three pills are produced from one batch, it can still produce about fifty finished pills.

Of course, there will also be some useless pills among them.

Huang Daolin's technique was skillful. According to him, at most one out of ten batches would be ruined. Therefore, conservatively speaking, thirty or forty grains should be possible.

With so many Heart-Refining Pills, Chen Yang will definitely get some benefits too.

This elixir is incredibly helpful in improving one's state of mind.

His cultivation level and state of mind are now balanced again, both at the mid-stage of the Creation Realm.

If you want to further improve your spiritual level, you must first improve your mental state as well.

On his own, cultivating one's mental state is extremely slow, and even if he occasionally has a sudden enlightenment, it's not something that happens overnight.

Of course, it is said that the "Immovable King Sutra" of the Divine Fire Sect is an excellent method for cultivating one's state of mind, but Shi Ling has not yet woken up, so no one is translating it for him, right?
Chen Yang also knew alchemy, so he was quite skilled at assisting Huang Daolin.

Besides the Human Soul, other medicinal materials are also needed to refine the Heart Refining Pill.

These medicinal herbs were relatively common. When Chen Yang went to pick up Huang Ying in the county town today, he stopped by Taihetang to get the herbs.

Since we're going to refine it anyway, let's refine it all and use up all of the "Human Soul".

Chen Yang is not short of money now, and Xue Kaiqi is his friend, so the quality of the medicinal materials is guaranteed. Chen Yang will take care of all these auxiliary medicines.

“Uncle, your alchemy furnace is quite good too. It’s comparable to mine. Mine was taken from the bottomless cave in Longmen Mountain. It’s said to have been the Qiankun Qi Furnace of the Chunyang Temple in Emei Mountain.”

A good furnace can greatly help improve the yield of pills. Chen Yang originally thought of bringing the Qiankun Qi Furnace, but he found that Huang Daolin's furnace was also extraordinary.

Its appearance is not much different from the Qiankun Qi Furnace, but it is larger.

Huang Daolin smiled and said, "This furnace was left to me by Master Woyun. It is said to be from Qitian Temple and is called Haotian Furnace."

Oh!
Chen Yang suddenly realized that the items belonged to Qitian Temple.

It seems that before Master Woyun left, he left his uncle many good things.

……

With Chen Yang's assistance, the efficiency was much higher and the success rate of pill production was also higher. From noon to evening, Huang Daolin made five batches of pills. Except for one batch which produced two pills, the other four batches each produced three pills.

While its quality isn't top-grade, it's still considered a mid-grade elixir.

Smelling the enticing fragrance of the pills, Chen Yang smiled somewhat foolishly.

There are fourteen pills in total.

Huang Daolin divided the pills into three parts, giving four to Chen Yang, keeping six for himself, and reserving the remaining four for Huang Ying.

Huang Daolin truly cared for his granddaughter immensely, practically cooking her meals and feeding her himself.

Chen Yang was overjoyed when he received the medicine.

Adding the one he had left over, he now has five Heart Refining Pills in his possession.

The "Human Soul" has not been used up yet, but the other auxiliary medicinal materials have been used up.

Taihetang has limited stock of medicines, so they have to source them from the provincial capital. Therefore, today's alchemy will have to stop here, and we'll have to wait for the Xue family to send over the remaining medicinal materials.

He also obtained the medicinal materials from the Xue family to refine the Spirit Nourishing Pill. Because the demand was large, Xue Kaiqi also had people prepare the goods for him.

However, Chen Yang asked her to pause the production of the ingredients for the Spirit Nourishing Pills. He wanted to see if the Gu God Church would take over the previous batch of Spirit Nourishing Pills before making any decisions.

If he accepts the request, he will increase his output; if he doesn't accept it, then so be it.

……

"This medicine shouldn't be taken too frequently."

Seeing him laughing heartily, Huang Daolin immediately reminded him, "Your mental state is already a bit out of sync. Eating too much or too frequently will only have the opposite effect. There should be at least a two-week interval between meals..."

"it is good."

Chen Yang nodded. Taking one pill every two weeks wouldn't be too long.

He took one a while ago, and the effects of the Heart-Refining Pill were quite powerful.

It just takes a little more time. With this pill, even if my mental state doesn't reach the Dao True Realm, reaching the late stage of the Creation Realm is no problem at all.

The future looks bright.

"Uncle."

Chen Yang put away the Heart-Refining Pill and then started gossiping, "I haven't asked you before, but I heard Master Xuanqing say that you looked familiar after he saw you, like an old friend of his. Do you two really know each other? I saw you two chatting quite happily when you were at Dawa Mountain."

"Haha."

After listening, Huang Daolin laughed, "Master Xuanjing is a revered monk of Emei. How could I possibly know him? The fact that he said he looked familiar only means that part of my lineage comes from that old friend of his..."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly, curiosity piqued. "I wonder, is it some old acquaintance?"

Huang Daolin shook his head. "Let's talk about this later. Go kill a chicken. Xiaoying loves stir-fried chicken; she's been talking about it for ages..."

"Ok."

Seeing that he seemed to be avoiding the question, Chen Yang wisely refrained from asking any further questions and headed directly towards the chicken coop.

But my curiosity hadn't diminished at all.

inherited?

I wonder what the origin of my uncle's lineage is.
Hyun-jung said it was an old friend of his, and since it has the word "old," it's probably someone who has already passed away.

He asked Hyun Jung, and Hyun Jung seemed to be hiding something as well.

Most likely, he was also a senior figure in the legal profession.

……

Chen Yang hasn't told Huang Daolin about Zhao Quanzhen's tomb yet, since the Three Corpse Divine Tree hasn't given him any definite answer.

He was ready to go and then spoke with Huang Daolin.

We'll see if Huang Daolin wants to come along. With his uncle around, Chen Yang will feel more confident.

……

The next morning, Chen Yang took Huang Ying to school and then went to the county town to find Qin Zhou.

Last night, Qin Zhou called him, saying that something had happened and he needed to come over immediately.

It has to be said that this old man is a troublemaker; he was rambling incoherently on the phone and couldn't make anything coherent.

Upon arriving at the Emeishanyue residential complex, I parked my car in the underground garage and went straight upstairs.

The doorbell had only rung twice when Qin Zhou rushed over to open the door for him.

The old man closed the door, didn't even give him a sip of water, and like a thief, impatiently pulled Chen Yang into the study.
