Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 242 A Brief Overview of the Gains, The Art of Qimen Armor Opening
"what?"

Suddenly, Chen Yushu's eyes lit up.

He opened several jade boxes and suddenly saw a small cauldron inside.

This cauldron was indeed not large, about three feet tall, with a lid on top and a triangular base. The key point was that he could smell a strong medicinal fragrance coming from it.

"Is this an alchemy furnace?"

Chen Yushu quickly took out the cauldron and soon confirmed this.

He discovered obvious signs of burning from flames beneath the cauldron.

Contrary to the common perception among cultivators that alchemists use alchemical fire and earth fire to refine pills, novice alchemists actually mainly burn 'firewood'.

However, what is usually burned is firewood.

It is a special spiritual material with extremely high combustion heat. The flames produced by burning it are colorless and smokeless, which is sufficient for use in the refining of relatively basic spiritual pills.

"Originally, I planned to gather medicinal herbs and start trying to refine pills."

Previously, the list of required medicinal materials had already been submitted to the Liu family pharmacy, asking them to help collect them.

The only thing lacking is a suitable alchemy furnace.

Chen Yushu's eyes lit up.

He was already lacking a pill-refining furnace, and he had been planning that if he couldn't find one, he would have to take one of the secret medicine furnaces that the Liu family's pharmacy used for refining medicines and use it as a pill-refining furnace.

Unexpectedly, what I had been searching for came to me without any effort.

He was in need of a suitable alchemy furnace, but through the Nine-Stem Daoist, it was delivered directly to him.

"Although it is only a basic level alchemy furnace."

But for the short term, it's enough.

After examining it briefly, Chen Yushu carefully put it away.

Besides the alchemy furnace, Chen Yushu soon discovered a second good thing.

Flying sword!

Although its grade is not high, only at the mid-grade level, it is a rare set of magic artifacts.

There are seven swords in total. If one has a suitable sword-controlling technique, their power is far greater than that of many high-grade magic weapons.

If calculated in silver, one weapon would cost at least three thousand taels of silver, and seven weapons would cost twenty-one thousand taels of silver.

but.

By this time, Chen Yushu gradually realized that silver was no longer a hard currency in the cultivation world, especially for cultivators at the Dao Entry Realm level who had reached the level of three incense sticks or higher.

Many people who possess valuable items will not accept silver as an equivalent exchange.

Most of the time, it was a barter system, or the exchange of spirit stones and talisman coins.

Among them, the talisman is a special kind of spiritual talisman that stores spiritual particles.

Essentially, it is a sealing talisman, but the cultivator has infused it with pure spiritual particles, which is why it can be sold.

The spiritual particles stored in one talisman coin are roughly equivalent to the cultivation of a cultivator in the Dao Realm for a whole day.

Of course, it takes a cultivator at the Dao Entry Realm three to five days to make a qualified talisman.

And this is the true hard currency among cultivators.

In the black market, a single talisman is worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

As for spirit stones.

In fact, it has always existed in the cultivation world.

However, due to early mining and changes in the natural energy of the world, each one used is one less available.

However, its value is recognized by all cultivators.

Moreover, there were spirit stones inside the Nine-Stem Daoist's storage bag.

There are quite a few.

There were a total of seventeen.

In addition, there are thirty-five talisman coins.

"Seventeen spirit stones and thirty-five talisman coins."

If calculated in silver, it would be 200,500 taels of silver.

This is a huge sum of money for anyone.

Not to mention.

There are so many medicine boxes here…

Muttering to himself, Chen Yushu casually opened a medicine box. Ginseng, a precious medicine!

Chen Yushu's eyes lit up.

Precious ginseng.

Moreover, it was of very high age, far exceeding the age of the precious ginseng that his father had given him to get him into the Liu family's pharmacy.

This is a precious ginseng root that is at least 350 years old.

The medicine is extremely effective; even if the Liu family pharmacy were to purchase it from outsiders, they would have to pay 150 taels of silver per dose.

Then he opened the second wooden box.

"Seven-star colorful flowers!
It is another precious medicine.

The price is slightly lower, but the quality of this piece is at least worth one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

Then came white jade grass, bitter dried flower, black vine grass... each box contained precious medicinal herbs.

All the boxes, big and small, totaled fifty-three..."

As Chen Yushu counted the items, he was also amazed in his heart.

If each of these boxes contained precious medicines, their value would be at least thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, since some of these medicines are indeed quite valuable.

In particular, there is a precious medicine called White Jade Lingzhi, which is said to have the effect of bringing the dead back to life and turning bones into white bones, and is extremely rare and valuable.

This single serving is worth three thousand taels of silver.

Not to mention, there are some that even Chen Yushu couldn't recognize at first glance, and their value is even more immeasurable.

This doesn't mean that he lacked knowledge.

Instead, the world is filled with countless spiritual materials and a wide variety of precious medicines.

His understanding of precious medicines came from the medicinal books left behind in the Liu family's pharmacy.

It contains a wealth of information, including details about many precious medicines.

However, there will always be omissions, and it is impossible to include all the precious medicines in the world.

Among this batch of precious medicines, there were at least five that he couldn't recognize, but judging from their radiant appearance, he knew very well that their value must be considerable, not much less than that of the White Jade Lingzhi.

"Besides the precious medicine, there are also some elixirs and talismans."

There were even a few cultivation manuals, spells, and secret techniques..."

Chen Yushu checked and counted them one by one.

Finally, the summary is done.

"This wave has yielded quite a harvest."

No wonder, even though the Nine-Zombie Daoist's physical body was destroyed and his soul left his body, he did not escape immediately. Instead, he carried the storage bag and desperately tried to leave with it.

indeed.

There's so much stuff here.

I reckon that's all of that Nine-Stem Daoist's wealth... and even more.

"Could it be that inside, there are even supplies sent by the evil cult as rewards for its disciples?"

Chen Yushu muttered to himself, and some guesses began to form in his mind.

After all, inside, he discovered many things that cultivators needed.

They also discovered a martial arts manual.

There are quite a few secret manuals.

There were more than a dozen books.

He skimmed through it and found some martial arts techniques that were of extremely high quality, not much inferior to the Medicine King's Heart Sutra.

Some sword and knife techniques also have their unique features.

"However, among these martial arts, the most powerful should be this one, the Qimen Opening Armor Technique."

It is a specialized martial art for body refinement.

There are eight realms in total. Each realm unlocks a new armor level. Once an armor level is unlocked, the cultivator's power will increase by 10% out of thin air.

All eight auspicious signs appeared simultaneously.

It can instantly transform a person into a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, making them incredibly powerful.

It can sweep across an entire area.

Chen Yushu glanced through it and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
