The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 264: The Fairy on the Observatory
"What is the observatory?"

"You can observe the changes in the stars in the sky. They are often built at the highest point. You can use the arrangement of the stars to determine where you are and where you want to go."

"What is the purpose of the Taoist priest in searching for the observatory?"

"Of course we have to find a way out. You don't think it's easy to get out, do you?"

"Then why did the Taoist priest know that there is an observatory in the Spring and Autumn Palace?"

"I'm not sure. Can't you see I'm asking?"

“Finding a way out is of course important, but Taoist Priest, do you really not want to go to the Alchemy Hall to take a look?
If you go, you will definitely gain something. The elixirs given by the Spring and Autumn Palace can’t be too bad! "

"No, time is running out. I'm afraid I won't make it."

"But why do I always feel that the Taoist priest really doesn't care about the elixir? Moreover, he came here and didn't gain anything, and just left directly. Doesn't the Taoist priest feel a little bit at a loss?"

"Old scholar, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I don't want to play dumb with you!"

"I always feel that you are brewing something, so much so that you don't even look down on the elixir of the Spring and Autumn Palace!"

"So, old scholar, are you going to get to the bottom of this?"

"No, I don't dare! I'm just asking. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Don't be murderous!"

At the fork in the road, Chu Zhou and the old scholar stood still. The small guiding clouds in their hands had already split into two directions, representing different destinations.

"Old scholar, take care of yourself and don't die!"

"Master Chu, take care of yourself too!"

Chu Zhou waved his hand and went deeper into the Spring and Autumn Palace. The old scholar stood there, looking at his receding back with a somewhat puzzled look on his face.

After a long time, he sighed, turned around, and went to the other side.

……

The main function of the Spring and Autumn Palace is to make elixirs, and the largest number of them are naturally medicine fields. There are a total of ten medicine fields, 'Jia Yi Bing Ding Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Kui', which can be used to plant and cultivate the main ingredients and auxiliary medicines of most panaceas.

There are three underground fire chambers used for alchemy, all of which attract the most ferocious flames from the earth's core and are bound by formations. They can melt the medicine liquid and remove the residue in the shortest time possible.

In terms of the pill-making effect, it can be improved by at least 10%!
Of course, of the three Earth Fire Alchemy Rooms, only the 'C' type one is open to the public and is taken over by the first generation of immortal servants. There are also several immortal servants who have mastered the alchemy skills and can refine some conventional pills for daily consumption and rewards.

Since the appearance of those wise second-generation immortal servants, the Great Immortal Red Dragon can no longer be considered a loner; he also has social skills.

There are always some ancient immortals who would bring their descendants to pay homage to them, and there are always various large gatherings where nephews and nieces would come to see the world. In addition, those who come to ask for elixirs and monsters must be rewarded with something. People cannot say that the Great Red Dragon Immortal is too stingy.

Therefore, the 'Bing' type earth fire room has a necessity to exist, while the 'A' and 'B' types are exclusively for the Red Dragon Immortal.

At this moment, if one looks down from the sky, the countless people and monsters who have entered the Spring and Autumn Palace, under the guidance of the immortal servants, are rushing towards the "Bing" underground fire room like young swallows returning to their nests.

Outside the 'C' alchemy hall, a long queue had formed. No matter whether they were humans or monsters, they all followed the rules and no one cut in line.

Are you kidding? Those guards who are about ten feet tall, have muscular bodies, wear yellow clothes, red headscarves, and have the word "Force" on their chests are not to be trifled with.

They stared with eyes as big as copper bells, and wherever their gaze passed, even the most powerful monsters and humans would be obedient and dare not act rashly.

Over countless years, both humans and demons have accumulated rich experience, and none of these "Yellow Turban Warriors" can be provoked.

At the end of the line, there was a table, behind which sat an old man with a compassionate look. He had a long beard, which he loved to stroke gently, and in the center of his white coat was a large word "doctor".

He seldom communicates with others, but any humans or monsters that come up will sit in front of him. He will mostly just glance at them, occasionally take their pulse, and then throw out pills.

Some of these pills can repair hidden injuries, some can clear toxins, some can expand meridians, some can refine the body, some can improve aptitude, and some can enhance cultivation...

It can be said that its functions are varied and it covers everything, but it is also the most suitable for them at this stage!

This is the reason why humans and monsters are fighting to the death to enter the Spring and Autumn Palace!
The fourth-level barrier-breaking pill and the life-creating pill are indeed precious, but they may not be useful to them. However, these pills are really a huge help in their path of cultivation.

Those who received the elixir were of course extremely grateful, but when they stepped out of the alchemy hall, that was the beginning of the killing.

From here outward to the light blue water curtain, the road seems not long, but it is paved with blood and body parts all over the ground.

Countless human masters and monsters are fighting here just to seize those bottles of elixir.

One's own things are certainly important, but other people's things can also be useful. If one can get one or two Life-Creation Pills, or four-turn Barrier-Breaking Pills, one can even get a lot of rewards in the two cities of the human race, or in the three demon mountains.

From here on, the fighting and struggling will never stop.

Of course, there are some Yellow Turban warriors or immortal servants from the medicine garden stationed here, but as long as they don’t cause too much damage, these immortal servants will not try to stop them!
These are the rules they must follow!
The old scholar was already standing in the team. He looked around and saw many familiar faces, such as the ancestor of the Ba Zong and the warriors of the Golden Horde who had fought their way in with great difficulty; and the four people including the Blind Sword Saint and the Boy Buddha who had been following Dong Huang obediently.

There was also the bear monster that walked into the hall in a rude manner, but under the gaze of the Yellow Turban warriors, it slightly reduced its arrogance and lined up obediently.

Behind him, Patriarch Xuan Yue and the Nine-headed Lion had become half-human, with bloodshot eyes.

They seemed to be aware of each other's existence, and when their eyes met, they communicated.

In another direction, Chu Zhou had already embarked on a lonely road, heading deep into the Spring and Autumn Palace.

The clouds turned into small arrows, indicating the direction. Chu Zhou ran quickly, and he turned into an arrow, getting faster and faster.

At the beginning, he wanted to avoid those immortal servants as much as possible and hide in the rockery pillars and palace corners.

But later, he found that these immortal servants really didn't care, so he rushed in without any scruples.

The Spring and Autumn Palace was very large, built along the undulating mountains. Chu Zhou could only run there, and he discovered that the palaces were deeper than the other.

He ran for nearly half an hour and finally saw a tall tower standing alone on the top of the mountain. It was dozens of stories high and almost unique.

There are also bronze bells hanging on the eaves of the four corners. When the wind blows, the tinkling sound is endless, which actually has the effect of calming the mind and soul.

Chu Zhou stood at the bottom of the observatory and looked up, only to find that it was very high, even above the clouds.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in. It seemed like no one had been here for a long time, and he actually felt a sense of coldness and loneliness.

When he stepped in, he found that the center seemed to be a skylight, and he could see very high up, and there was even a design similar to an elevator.

It was a disc, large enough for several people to stand on, and could be driven by magic power to climb straight up.

Chu Zhou chose the top floor and waited for several minutes before the disc finally stopped steadily.

Then, a dome with nine stars reflected in the sky appeared before his eyes.

Standing here, as long as you select a position, you can adjust the dome and directly locate the position of the nine stars in the sky.

When they reach the realm of Great Red Dragon Immortal, their vision is no longer limited to this small world, but they can "look up to the nine heavens and explore the nine underworlds" to witness the truly vast universe.

Among them, exploring the Nine Netherworld does not mean going deep underground, but the real low-dimensional world, the underworld.

As for the Nine Heavens above, it is not turbulent winds, but endless void.

The void is vast and eternally silent, and it seems like there is no living thing, but there are abundant resources.

All those meteorites have been deposited over the years. Even the most common meteorite iron is a precious material for refining weapons.

If some precious things are found, they will be snatched up even in heaven!
However, the most feared thing in space exploration is getting lost, so "positioning" is extremely important.

Chu Zhou even saw many courses on "Introduction to the Universe", "Wonders of the Void", "Cosmic Positioning Method" and so on in the Reception Hall. Each course had a very high price, and it seemed that it cost more than 1,500 merit points.

Among these positioning methods, the most commonly used one is the observatory, which has many functions, stargazing is only secondary. The most important thing is that it can be used as a lighthouse.

Just like a ship in the sea, when it sees a lighthouse it knows the direction of sailing.

Of course, these are too far away from Chu Zhou and are not necessary, but generally speaking, there will be local maps preserved on the observatory.

It’s like if you want to locate yourself in the sky, you naturally have to determine your position first, and this is what Chu Zhou wants.

He wants the map of the secret place!
He wanted to find the most central point of the secret realm! He wanted to find the place where the core of the cave was placed when the Red Dragon Immortal opened up this blessed land.

Generally speaking, there should be some in the observatory!
But Chu Zhou tried many methods, even using some half-familiar hand gestures, trying to find out if there was any secret there, but to no avail.

His heart couldn't help but sink!

According to Chu Zhou's accumulated knowledge, the development of the paradise is actually spreading in a circle from the core to all directions.

The core of the cave is basically at the center of the entire secret realm, which is also the intersection of the spiritual cycle.

But the size of this secret realm is beyond imagination, and one cannot fly directly. If there is no map, Chu Zhou can only measure the boundaries with his feet and determine the center point bit by bit.

The time required would be calculated in years, and he was unwilling to wait that long.

Just when Chu Zhou was in despair, a beautiful female voice sounded: "What are you looking for?"

"Of course I'm looking for a secret place..."

Before Chu Zhou finished speaking, he jumped up, looked in one direction, and asked, "Who are you?"

There, on one wall, there was a painting.

In the painting, there is a fairy with an extremely beautiful face, a graceful posture, and wearing a light-colored long dress.

As Chu Zhou looked at her, there seemed to be a spiritual light pouring out, and finally the fairy stood in front of Chu Zhou.

"I am the manager of this observatory, the No. 1 recorder, and I am mainly responsible for assisting the Great Red Dragon in recording the position changes of the stars in the sky.

You are the first human to come to me in so many years, how can I help you?"

As she spoke, she blinked her big eyes, as if she was expecting something.

Chu Zhou paused, then said, "I want a complete map of the blessed land. I wonder if, uh, Fairy Sister has it?"

"Yes! But, this kind of thing involving confidential information is not as simple as one or two pills. Why should I give it to you?"

"this!"

Before Chu Zhou could think of an answer, the fairy suddenly jumped up and said, "You want a complete map, are you looking for the Red Dragon Palace?

That is the first of the nine immortal palaces, and it is also built on the core of the cave heaven. So, do you want to refine this cave heaven and become the master of the cave heaven?"

Chu Zhou didn't say anything, but at this moment, he couldn't control his expression!
When the fairy saw his expression, she immediately knew that she had guessed it right, and she jumped up happily: "I guessed it right, I guessed it right, I said I'm not stupid, but the Red Dragon Fairy always calls me stupid!"

"Can Fairy Sister help me?"

"Of course not, this is the deepest secret of the cave!

Moreover, it was only because Great Immortal Chilong made some arrangements before he left that the guards in the Spring and Autumn Palace were removed. Otherwise, you people would not be able to walk freely in the Spring and Autumn Palace, let alone reach me.

Although those Yellow Turban warriors are a little stupid, they are still quite powerful!"

Chu Zhou seemed to have noticed something and asked, "Then why did the Red Dragon Immortal cancel the alert of the Spring and Autumn Palace?
I guess any host wouldn't like guests wandering around their home, right?"

"Of course, this is because the Great Red Dragon Immortal arranged it for his successor. He said that after many, many years, this paradise will welcome a new owner, and before he leaves, he must take care of everything that needs to be taken care of.

Then, he asked us, the immortal servants, to wait for the successor to arrive, and after he obtained this cave, we would obey the successor's arrangements.

But we have been waiting for many years!"

Having said this, the fairy seemed a little gloomy, and the light in her eyes had gone.

Chu Zhou's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "Then how do you know that I'm not the successor?"

"You, the successor? How could you possibly be?"

The fairy was very disdainful: "You are just a small golden elixir, you can't defeat a few more yellow turban warriors.

Moreover, the successor of the Great Red Dragon Immortal must be an immortal, otherwise, this world may not be able to suppress it!"

Chu Zhou asked back: "Did the Great Red Dragon Immortal tell you that his successor must be an immortal?"

“That’s not the case, but the Great Immortal Red Dragon came from Heaven. He said that this world was also opened up by the order of Heaven.

The successor must be sent by Heaven."

Chu Zhou couldn't help but smile when he heard that. He raised his hand and drew a few spiritual patterns in the air, and then a stream of magic power was projected out.

Then, the light and shadow changed, and an ancient token appeared in Chu Zhou's hand and rotated slowly.

"Heavenly Court Reception Order? Are you a Heavenly Court Messenger?"

The fairy screamed as if she was frozen in time. After she came to her senses, she immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Heavenly Court Weapon Casting Department, batch 9993, origami puppet number 933 greets the Heavenly Court Messenger!"

Chu Zhou was stunned by her introduction and asked, "Are you a puppet?"

"Yes!"

The female fairy seemed to know Chu Zhou’s confusion and said, “The Heavenly Court does not like to use living creatures as Taoist soldiers, so it has abandoned the traditional blood refining method and instead uses other spiritual materials instead.

For example, the most common steel puppet is made of various spiritual materials and is mainly used for killing, such as the Yellow Turban Warrior.

For example, by refining spirit beans and using the technique of 'casting beans into soldiers', they can be transformed into bean soldiers, and with the help of virtual souls, various professions can be cultivated.

In addition, there are the rarest plant soldiers, the best of which are plant-transformed monsters, but their numbers are small.

And mine is shaped by the magical power of 'paper cutting into adults', which can be put into the painting, can last longer, and do some delicate work. "

The fairy explained in great detail, but Chu Zhou didn't really care about it. Instead, he asked, "Now, can you give me a complete map of the blessed land?"

“Of course, but the envoy is going to the Red Dragon Palace, why bother?

I will just point out the direction to the messenger!"

As she spoke, she gestured in the air, and another small white cloud fell into Chu Zhou's hands.

Chu Zhou sensed it slightly and found that the white cloud turned into an arrow pointing straight into the distance!

He lowered his head again, looking at the half-kneeling female fairy, and hurriedly helped her up, saying, "I still have a lot of confusion, but, wait until I refine the cave, then we can talk about it."

"Of course!"

"In that case, I'll leave first."

Chu Zhou felt a lot more relaxed when he stepped out of the observatory again. After entering this secret realm, he was actually under a lot of pressure.

But judging from the current results, the Great Red Dragon Immortal did make a lot of arrangements before leaving to make it easier for him to take over.

This guy is a good person!
Thinking of this, Chu Zhou prepared to leave and get out of this secret realm first.

But he had just taken a step when his face changed drastically. He raised his hand and punched out suddenly.

This punch was thrown suddenly, so it certainly couldn't be said that he used all his strength. However, the force of the punch was like a tide, and the impact on the air formed a wave that was visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, an arrow transformed from mist hit the fist force, was suddenly blasted away, and spread in all directions.

For a moment, Chu Zhou seemed to be shrouded in fog.

And in the mist, a voice rang out: "It must be him, it must be him, the Chu Zhou who brought you in?"

It was King Yanxia of Yanbo Mountain who showed up, and next to him was the ancestor of the Ji family who had an embarrassed look on his face.
