Becoming a Taoist Master by Walking on the Underworld

Chapter 330 Entering the Cave, Mid-Grade Magical Refining Furnace
"The rules are mysterious?"
Is this the power of the lightning law?

So, this rule is 'lightning'?

Chen Yushu carefully sensed the profound rule within the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He quickly compared it with the spell rune structures he knew and found that there was no matching spell rune structure, which made him happy.

Because this means that he has mastered a completely different and profound law.

My reading experience also increased a bit.

Not at all.

But he never complained.

Especially now that my reading experience has reached the sixth level, the Transparent Realm, every bit of increase in experience is extremely difficult.

Of course, the profound rules perceived from these rare and precious materials are not simply about defining them.

With his mind completely absorbed, Chen Yushu almost instantly gained a very clear understanding of the profound mystery of this rule.

Although he couldn't completely replicate the ability to manifest it in the void, he understood its meaning in the blink of an eye.

With a thought, a corresponding spell rune structure was created, and in a short time, the spell rune structure was simplified and optimized, reaching a level of optimization comparable to when a spell has been mastered to a high degree or even perfected.

In other words.

If he manifests this rule using the structure of magical runes, it is mysterious.

It's directly a high-level spell rune structure.

Perhaps after a period of further reflection and understanding, it can be optimized again to achieve perfection.

Furthermore, by truly mastering the mysteries of this rule, one can directly cast spells using its subtleties.

Naturally, when the time comes, the power of the corresponding spell can be perfectly unleashed.

"Fellow Daoist Psychic, Fellow Daoist Psychic..."

Just then, the one favored by the gods spoke to Chen Yushu.

"what happened?"

Chen Yushu was startled and snapped out of his reverie.

"We just discussed it."

The reason why this Thunder Spirit Rice has yielded such a large harvest is mainly due to your Thunder Technique.

Therefore, of the four thousand catties of Lei Ling rice, each of us only needs five hundred catties.

The rest belongs to you, fellow Daoist.

The wine gourd beside him chimed in.

"We'll divide it according to the rules we agreed on beforehand."

If it weren't for the trust of you fellow Daoists who led me into this cave, I wouldn't have had so many gains.

If my fellow Daoists insist on being modest, it would only make me appear petty.

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said.

Then he glanced at the Lei Lingmi that they had already packed away, a total of eight huge sacks, each containing 500 jin (250 kg).

Without any hesitation, he took two bags and put them into his storage bag.

"Since you put it that way, we won't stand on ceremony."

Seeing this, Violet remained silent for a moment before speaking.

The others naturally had no objections, but they all looked at Chen Yushu with higher regard.

After all, Thunder Rice is a very precious substance, and even a little more or less can make a significant difference.

Chen Yushu's willingness to give up his share shows great magnanimity.

Next.

The group split up again and began picking spiritual materials one by one.

Some pieces with sufficient age were collected directly, while those with insufficient age but relatively precious were marked.

It's a pity that these rare and precious materials, unlike the Thunder Spirit Rice Tree, cannot store the spiritual energy absorbed by heaven and earth over hundreds of years.

Even with Chen Yushu's use of the annual ring technique, he was unable to successfully accelerate its growth to maturity.

It's not that the tree ring technique has lost its effectiveness, but rather that there's no corresponding spiritual energy to replenish it.

The surrounding spiritual energy may help it grow for several years or even more than ten years, but it is still not enough to bring it to maturity.

Forcibly applying the annual ring technique will only cause the surrounding spiritual soil to crack, damaging the growth of the spiritual plant itself, until it withers and dies completely.

Unless, of course, spirit stones are used to replenish it.

However, the amount of spirit stones required is enormous. For a single spirit plant, especially one that is not needed in a short period of time, it is sometimes not worth the effort.

It would be better to leave it in the cave and let it grow naturally, and then arrange for a spirit plant master to carefully cultivate it later, so that it can be harvested ahead of time.

The spiritual plants are still here; they won't be lost, and they can't be lost.

"Next, we'll enter this secret room."

This should be the true residence of that ancient cultivator.

The art of the Heart Sword might be hidden within this secret chamber of the cave.

After processing the various spiritual plants in the spiritual field, the group of four arrived at a cave dwelling.

There was also a formation set up at the entrance of the cave.

Although it is not as large as the outer formation, its protection is much more robust.

Fortunately, both Chen Yushu and Violet are proficient in array formations.

Furthermore, since this protective array was unguarded, it was easily breached.

"I never expected this cave to be so spacious."

They even divided it into several special secret rooms.

Alchemy room, sword practice room, cultivation room, spirit beast room, library..."

Upon entering the cave, the group's eyes lit up.

Not only because the spiritual energy inside the cave is at least twice as dense as outside, but also because of the numerous secret chambers that resemble rooms.

Although it was closed with a gate.

Everyone knew that if there were truly treasures inside, they would surely be in these rooms.

"The closer we get to this point, the more careful we need to be."

Ancient sword cultivators were so powerful that they were considered invincible among those of the same realm.

That Wutong Zhenren is an elder of the ancient Heart Sword Sect's Transmission Pavilion, and his strength must be extremely formidable.

Based on my understanding of ancient cultivators, their strength should be at the late Golden Core stage.

Based on the current strength comparison, he is roughly equivalent to the third stage of the Soul Refining Realm, the True Person level of the Life-Seizing Realm.

Its absolute strength is undoubtedly above that of other True Immortals of the same realm.

If such beings have left behind any backup plans, we simply cannot withstand them.

Looking at these cave dwellings, Violet's face turned serious.

"The Life-Taking Realm?!"

The others all fell silent upon hearing this.

The Soul Refining Realm has three levels: True and False, Transformation into Yang, and Life Stealing.

Taking lives is the third realm.

However, they are far more powerful than most of the Seven True Ones of the Martial Kingdom.

For example, the Hundred Ghosts Taoist is very famous, but he should still be at the True and False Realm level.

Even the strongest of the Seven True Ones, Nine Swords True One, only revealed his Yang Transformation Realm strength last time.

The Realm of Death.

Only veteran powerhouses and top sect leaders can be considered to be at this level.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying this level of strength is.

Therefore, even though things had gone quite smoothly before, they were still on edge and dared not make any rash moves.

We will explore them one by one.

Let's start with this alchemy room.

The chosen one looked toward the secret chamber closest to their group and spoke.

"it is good!"

"Let's start in this alchemy room!"

Because the doors were tightly closed, they had no idea what was happening in the other secret chambers. They were also afraid that there might be other dangers and attack methods in this cave, so they were all very cautious.

Then, the chosen one waved his hand, and the ruler in his hand transformed into a stream of light that landed on the door of the secret chamber.

Buzzing... Suddenly, a special defensive shield appeared, enveloping the wall.

"This is a normal protective measure."

Give me half an hour, and I should be able to break this restriction.

The wine gourd glanced at the protective barrier there, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

He didn't know much about formations, but he put a lot of thought into methods to break restrictions.

This mainly stemmed from the fact that he was obsessed with gambling on jade slips for a period of time.

Therefore, he specifically studied the method of breaking the restriction for a period of time.

However, due to the fact that he lost more than he won, his financial resources became insufficient, which led him to gradually give up this hobby.

"There's no need for that."

"Just break it with force."

Violet, standing to the side, waved her hand and said...

She could naturally see that this restriction was not actually integrated with the entire formation, but rather stood independently on the gate.

Therefore, while it would be better to break the restriction by means of force, it would be faster.

Then I saw her move forward a little.

The silk in his hand flashed like lightning and struck the barrier directly.

buzzing...

A loud bang was heard.

The restriction was immediately broken.

The door was then opened smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat ancient-looking alchemy furnace appeared before everyone.

Besides the alchemy furnace, there are also many spiritual materials.

Some were sealed in jade boxes, while others were scattered randomly on the ground. Many of them were cultivated in the medicinal fields.

Judging from their appearance, they are all of high quality.

Some of them are even rare and precious treasures.

"It's a pity that these spiritual materials were scattered carelessly and were not properly stored, so they have lost all their spiritual energy."

It's no longer of any use.

After examining it, the chosen one shook his head and said...

Somewhat unwilling, the wine gourd opened the jade boxes to examine the medicinal fields inside, and a look of disappointment quickly appeared on its face.

These jade boxes did indeed contain some medicinal herbs, clearly three or four kinds, all over a hundred years old.

However, because the sealing method failed, the spiritual energy had already lost its effect due to the slow dissipation.

Even if a little bit of spiritual energy and medicinal power remains, it is less than one-tenth of its peak value. Even if it were used to refine pills, it would certainly not succeed.

On the contrary, excessive accumulation of erysipelas may lead to the formation of toxic erysipelas or unusable erysipelas.

"This cave has been abandoned for at least several hundred years."

Then came the transformation of heaven and earth.

It's perfectly normal that medicinal herbs are difficult to preserve after harvesting.

"Violet said with emotion."

"However, it wasn't all without gain."

At least this alchemy room is of very good quality. It's at least a low-grade magic weapon.

Then, she changed the subject and her gaze fell on the alchemy furnace.

Even though it has not been used for many years, its surface is still incredibly shiny and faintly emits an amazing spiritual light, making it undoubtedly a treasure above all magical artifacts.

As for whether it is a low-grade or mid-grade magic weapon, that can only be determined after investigation.

"really!"

Chen Yushu had noticed the alchemy furnace long ago, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He had already begun to refine his alchemy skills and was now considered a mid-level or even high-level first-grade alchemist.

Therefore, the more one appreciates the preciousness of this alchemy furnace.

It's infinitely better than the one he's using now.

If he could acquire this alchemy furnace, he wouldn't need to replace it for a long time.

This alchemy furnace is more than enough to enable him to become a high-level second-grade alchemist, or even a third-grade alchemist.

"However, none of us are alchemists..."

Violet glanced at Chen Yushu and said.

"I do have some interest in alchemy."

Why don't you give me this alchemy furnace?

You set a price, and I'm willing to compensate for any extras beyond my share with spirit stones.

Chen Yushu didn't stand on ceremony and spoke directly.

"it is good!

However, no compensation is necessary.

If there are any other gains later, we can each take what we need.

In short, no one present will be disadvantaged.

Violet smiled slightly and said.

"Correct!"

"As it should be!"

The chosen one and the wine gourd also nodded.

This is the first secret room.

And it's not even the most important secret chamber; getting this alchemy furnace is already quite good.

They naturally believed that there would be more gains to come.

By then, they will naturally be able to select treasures that satisfy them.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yushu nodded.

Then, with a thought, his spiritual power transformed into a stream of light and landed directly on the alchemy furnace, where he used a simple refining technique.

This refining method not only allows the artifact to recognize its master, but also enables simple control and use of it.

Although it certainly cannot compare to the effects of long-term refinement, it is enough for him at this moment.

After a series of rituals and refinements.

Then he reached out and beckoned again.

buzz~
The alchemy furnace trembled slightly and then burst out of the ground.

It spun around and shrank to the size of a large bowl, landing steadily in Chen Yushu's hand.

"This is actually a mid-grade magic weapon."

Not only can it be used for alchemy, but it also offers some protection; at least it can withstand a full-force attack from a Night Wanderer Realm cultivator.

A look of surprise appeared on Chen Yushu's face as he spoke.

Congratulations, fellow Daoist!

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled in alchemy."

With this alchemy furnace, it's truly like adding wings to a tiger.

"If we ever come to you seeking your alchemy services in the future, please don't refuse, fellow Daoist."

"The one favored by the gods," said the wine gourd, quickly offering his congratulations.

You're too kind.

If you have any needs, just let me know.

Chen Yushu waved his hand and said with a smile.

Next, the group inspected the alchemy room again. Apart from discovering a fire array connected to the underground fire beneath the ground, they found nothing else. So they came out again and went to the door of the second secret room.

Sword practice room!
This time, they arrived at the entrance of the so-called sword practice room.

The same method was used to repeat the process.

A magical artifact descended, and the defensive barrier was successfully broken.
