Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 144 Qionghua Inherited Vast Wealth
Danzhou, a land of lava.

Cultivators arrived one after another.

The once-in-a-century Danling Secret Realm is about to open, and even though the continent is in turmoil, these sects are still arriving on time.

Clearly, they didn't want to miss this grand event.

The various inheritances and elixirs within the Danling Secret Realm are extremely precious to this world.

"It's activated!" Su You hovered in mid-air, feeling a surge of power erupting from the ground.

Lava erupted, and an alchemical furnace, taller than a mountain, slowly rose from the ground.

"I wonder what grade this alchemy furnace is?" Su You stared at the furnace with burning eyes.

Based on his limited understanding of weapon crafting, this alchemy furnace must have been made using ancient methods.

This alchemy furnace can accommodate 100,000 people, and each person has a different training ground, which is also very vast, no smaller than a medium-sized secret realm.

The interior space of such a magical artifact is so vast that it must be at least a sixth-order artifact.

Only ninth-tier magic treasures, like the Dream Butterfly Mirror, contain a small world within them.

This is the real world, with the sun, moon, and stars, unlike the sun and moon projections in the secret realm, or perhaps there is no sun or moon at all.

Su You was really looking forward to this teleportation, wondering what treasures he could leave behind.

Although I have some interest in this alchemy furnace, it would be very beneficial if he could use it.

After the alchemy furnace was fully formed, Su You felt a faint heat emanating from the mark on his wrist. With a thought, he activated the mark.

The next instant, he vanished from his spot and entered a huge hall, the very place he had visited before.

"Kid, you've finally arrived. It seems you've put in a lot of hard work in your cultivation. I thought you'd be dawdling for hundreds of years." Chi Ding suddenly appeared in front of him, scrutinizing him closely.

Previously, Su You had almost no secrets from it, but now it seems that many of them are no longer transparent to it.

"What kind of cultivation technique is this kid practicing? It actually gives me a feeling of excitement. It seems to be beneficial to the Qionghua Cauldron, and his illusory world..." Chi Ding is only now getting serious.

Although very curious about the other party's secrets, especially the kind of cultivation technique that could benefit the Qionghua Cauldron.

If it were millions of years ago, when it was still with its owner, it would have immediately seized the opportunity to plunder.

But now, it is preparing to leave the Qionghua Cauldron and reincarnate.

As the spirit of a magical artifact, it is extremely difficult for it to improve its strength.

This magic weapon was something its master casually crafted in this world back then, but it gathered the essence of the entire world, barely raising Qionghua to the peak of the sixth rank. Finally, with the help of the earth veins and fire veins of this world, it was placed below and nurtured for millions of years, which gave it the opportunity to be upgraded and become a seventh-rank magic weapon.

Over the years, it has come to realize the shortcomings of being a magical artifact spirit. Although it has a long lifespan, once it is refined by someone, it will be controlled by that person, and its improvement is slow. Fortunately, its master left it with hope, which allowed it to break free from its cage.

“This magical artifact will also be passed on to him in the future, and I don’t need to concern myself with his secrets.” Chi Ding shook his head and said, “Come with me.”

Another major reason is that it is not confident that it can see into the other party's secrets. It can sense that the other party's sea of ​​consciousness is already in chaos, unlike last time when it could still sense a trace of something unusual.

Furthermore, Su You was its hope for escaping the Qionghua Cauldron for millions of years, so naturally it did not want any other mistakes to happen.

Seeing the tall, red figure before him, Su You quickly followed.

He soon arrived at the center of the main hall, where a Taoist statue stood, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

“This is your grandmaster, Huayangzi. Perform the three kowtows and nine prostrations on the prayer mat,” Chiding said.

Upon hearing this, Su You did not hesitate. He straightened his clothes slightly and bowed before the prayer mat.

One, two, three...

After the ceremony was completed, a crimson light shot out from the statue and enveloped Su You.

He neither hid nor avoided anything. As a clone, he was not afraid of any conspiracy. Even if something like a remnant soul possessing another body occurred, he had nothing to worry about.

His sea of ​​consciousness is now surrounded by a seven-colored mirage. Enemy soul attacks, including soul possession, would have to penetrate the entire mirage to reach his sea of ​​consciousness.

This further enhanced Su You's ability to protect his soul.

Because of the Gemini mark, he is not afraid of death, but he needs to worry about the protection of his soul. With the protection of the Mirage Realm, very few people should be able to harm him at the soul level.

Fortunately, the light did not cause any harm to Su You, but instead condensed into a small cauldron mark on his chest.

After the mark was successfully formed, the light from the statue fell on the Crimson Cauldron.

sizzle...

The red cauldron emitted a slight sound of pain.

"Senior, are you alright..." Su You called out softly.

"It's okay, I'm very happy now!" Chi Ding said through gritted teeth with a pained expression, but his heart was filled with joy.

Because this light helped it sever its connection with the Qionghua Cauldron.

The light disappeared after a few breaths, but Chi Ding's smile returned.

The only change was that its body flickered between light and shadow, appearing and disappearing as if it had vanished into nothingness.

"Little one, I'm about to leave. You'll gradually learn about what's happening here. From now on, I'll entrust this Qionghua Cauldron to you. You can control it using the Qionghua Mark on your chest. You can refine it slowly when your cultivation is sufficient. I'll also pass on the legacy of my master to you. I hope you won't disappoint me." The Crimson Cauldron quickly gave its instructions.

Inside the hall, the four pillars at the four corners lit up simultaneously, and four different colored lights fell on the Crimson Cauldron.

"Little one, I hope we'll meet again someday." Chi Ding waved his hand, and then disappeared.

"Uh..." Su You was a little confused, his face showing a hint of bewilderment.

He hadn't expected the inheritance to be received so hastily. After all, the initial assessment was incredibly difficult, something no one had been able to obtain for millions of years, and it required him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

Unexpectedly, after coming to receive the inheritance, he disappeared and left without explaining anything.

This is even more outrageous than when he received the Dream Butterfly Sect's inheritance. After all, when he received the Dream Butterfly Sect's inheritance, he learned everything through the Star Mark.

However, since things have come to this, Su You had no choice but to accept reality. In fact, this situation was not bad; it seemed that he had taken over the alchemy furnace, including all the treasures left behind.

This is a huge fortune, far better than the meager sums left behind by the Dream Butterfly Sect.

Of course, it cannot be said that the Dream Butterfly Sect is poor. The sect has accumulated a great deal of wealth, but as time goes by, some of it has been shattered over the long years, and most of it has been devoured and used by the Dream Butterfly Mirror, including various ores, spirit stones, spirit veins and so on.

Furthermore, without a spirit, the only disciple became a wooden figure, unable to make any changes to the sect, thus gradually declining.

This alchemy furnace is different; it has a spirit managing it, constantly accumulating wealth. Otherwise, the Alchemy Spirit Secret Realm wouldn't have so many pills.

Su You looked at the Qionghua mark on his chest, and with a thought, he activated the mark.

A continuous stream of magical power surged towards the Qionghua mark, and only when half of the magical power in the body was depleted was the mark considered activated.

This mark also conveys a message.

This includes how to use the Qionghua Cauldron, and how to disconnect the Qionghua Cauldron from the earth's veins, etc.

"No wonder they left so quickly; it turns out all the information inside the Qionghua Cauldron was left here," Su You said in realization.

"No wonder they made me cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm before I could come and inherit the legacy." Su You understood somewhat.

Each activation of this Qionghua Mark requires a large amount of mana, and this mana is provided instantly. He cannot use it by taking pills; he can only use it by raising his cultivation to the Nascent Soul realm.

After the Qionghua Mark was activated, Su You felt as if he had control over the entire magic treasure, and he could know everything inside the alchemy furnace.

First of all, there is a huge secret realm inside this alchemy furnace. In terms of area, it can be considered a large secret realm. Su You can see that it is planted with dense spiritual herbs, and there are even a considerable number of spiritual roots inside.

These spiritual herbs and even spiritual roots are cared for by special puppets.

In addition, a small area was isolated, divided into 100,000 smaller, isolated spaces, all of which were planted with the same spiritual herbs, though none of them were of high quality.

Aside from these two spaces, the only other place in the entire secret realm is the hall where Su You is located.

From God's perspective, he could clearly see ten enormous iron walls inside the temple.

This iron wall is a kilometer long and a hundred meters high.

The iron walls were engraved with various intricate patterns. According to the information provided by the markings, there were countless compartments inside these iron walls, which stored all the elixirs here.

Within this iron wall lies a special formation that continuously absorbs spiritual energy to nurture the pills within. This ensures that the pills not only do not lose their medicinal properties over time, but also continuously strengthen them.

According to the information left inside the mark, there are billions of pills here, most of which are first- or second-tier pills, tens of millions of third-tier pills, and only a few hundred thousand fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-tier pills.

Even so, this is still a terrifying number; if converted into wealth, it would probably be an astronomical figure.

Even if it's used to train subordinates, it can quickly cultivate a group of capable subordinates.

In addition, this magical alchemy furnace can refine pills on its own. As long as the pills do not exceed the fourth rank, the Qionghua Cauldron can automatically refine them in batches.

No wonder there is such a huge amount of pills stored here; it must have been accumulated over the years.

Aside from this fortune, the most precious things in the Qionghua Cauldron are the spiritual herbs grown in the secret realm.

Unless some spiritual herbs have a limited lifespan and are harvested every few years to be used for alchemy, many spiritual herbs without lifespan restrictions are cultivated independently, and their value is no less than that of alchemy pills.

Moreover, among the spiritual herbs, the most precious are the spiritual roots, including the Enlightenment Tea Tree that Su You has been longing for. There are three trees in total, two of the fourth rank and one of the fifth rank. They yield harvests every period of time and are all stored in the iron wall, including the spiritual fruits that these spiritual roots produce every period of time.

After a cursory examination of the Danling Secret Realm, Su You remained silent for a long time, then helplessly complained, "If I had obtained this inheritance earlier, the Dream Butterfly Mirror would have been mostly repaired long ago."

He only needs to use a small portion of his wealth to help the Dream Butterfly Mirror be repaired quickly.

Although the Qionghua Cauldron is of a much lower grade than the Dream Butterfly Mirror, its value is not necessarily lower. It is a magical artifact that can continuously generate and make money.

Although the wealth accumulated in the Qionghua Cauldron is due to the passage of time, its powerful money-making ability cannot be denied.

The ability to automatically refine pills is something that the Dream Butterfly Mirror cannot do.

However, the Dream Butterfly Mirror can also cultivate spiritual herbs in secret realms, as long as there is a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, enough spiritual herb seeds, and enough cultivation puppets.

Of course, Su You can't fully utilize the Qionghua Cauldron's true potential right now. After all, its main body is a pill furnace, and its purpose is to refine pills, especially high-level pills, which inevitably requires a good pill furnace magic weapon.

Aside from the Qionghua Cauldron, Su You's greatest gain was acquiring countless alchemy inheritances, including alchemy secrets, knowledge of spiritual herbs, and so on.

"Danhun, Danhun..." Su You's divine sense quickly searched within the Qionghua mark.

This was something he had always been thinking about. The reason he was able to improve his alchemy skills so quickly was because he used several pill souls, which allowed him to raise his alchemy skills to the fourth level in a short period of time.

Otherwise, it would take at least several hundred years and require a large amount of spiritual herbs to practice before there would be any chance of advancing to the fourth-level alchemist.

"As expected! The Soul Elixir Secret Technique!" Su You was somewhat excited and immediately read the secret technique.

A moment later, a smile appeared on his face. "As expected! Just as I thought, this secret technique can do more than just refine pill souls. It seems that my plan to reap the benefits of all living beings can begin."

The Qionghua Imprint contains a vast and comprehensive heritage. Although it is much less than the heritage of the Dream Butterfly Sect, each has its own expertise, and the help it brings will not be insignificant.

After calming his excitement, Su You realized that the Danling Secret Realm had opened once again.

Or rather, it could be said that outside cultivators once again used the loopholes deliberately left by the Crimson Cauldron to send these geniuses into the Pill Spirit Secret Realm.

“Now that the Qionghua Cauldron has been returned to its rightful owner, you will no longer have the opportunity to take advantage of it.” With a thought, Su You used the Qionghua Mark to send everyone back out.
