Evil Immortal!

Those gold and silver jewels, swords and weapons were one thing, but they all knew that even if they took them, they couldn't hide them, let alone escape the eyes of Master Ziyang outside.

Offending Master Ziyang for this is a case of losing more than you gain, and it's really not worth it.

The real attraction for them was the jade slips and magical artifacts on the bookshelf.

There might be job change skill books or something on the shelf, so they didn't care about anything else and rushed to the bookshelf.

However, it was blocked by a faint white light.

However, at this moment, they noticed something was wrong and discovered that they had been poisoned without their knowledge.

After Haoziweizhi finished speaking, the other players gathered around and began to add their own comments.

"Is that all you wanted to say?"

After listening to what the players said, Meng Yuan glanced at Rat Tail Juice and Twilight Sword, a half-smile playing on his lips, as if he had seen something, causing the two to look away.

"In that case, go back in and take another look. Remember, don't touch anything inside, and remember to blow out that candle."

Meng Yuan raised his chin, gesturing for them to try again. The group nodded in agreement, having no objections whatsoever.

Although I just died once and the feeling of being poisoned was not pleasant, my pain level has been adjusted so it's not unbearable. Besides, I can be resurrected after dying.

Moreover, this mission is quite rare. If we don't do our best and miss this opportunity to make a good impression on Master Ziyang, we'll regret it to the core.

This time, after they went in, they came out quickly, all unharmed.

Seeing this, Meng Yuan knew what was going on. He knew that the candle inside was the culprit that poisoned them. He told them to step back and wait outside while he went into the secret room.

Du Caidie and several other Demon Suppression Guards also followed them in.

Meng Yuan scanned the secret room with his divine sense and confirmed that there was nothing unusual about it. He then went to the bookshelf, which was covered with a faint spiritual light. It looked like it could be broken with a single poke, but it was actually extremely tough.

Even if a master of innate martial arts were to wield swords and other weapons and hack and slash for three days and three nights, they might not be able to break the restrictions on it.

However, this was naturally not a problem for Meng Yuan.

With a casual wave of his hand, a ball of Purple Cloud True Fire emerged, casting a pale purple glow over the somewhat dim secret room.

A faint, warm aura quickly spread, and then the Purple Cloud True Fire rolled on the spot, transforming into a nimble little purple snake, which flew towards the bookshelf with a whoosh.

This small purple snake was only as thick as a finger and a little over a foot long. It had no imposing presence whatsoever; instead, it exuded a certain cuteness. It was so lifelike that even the scales on its body were clearly visible, as if they were real.

In reality, every inch of this fire serpent contains terrifying heat; any ordinary metal object that touches it will instantly turn into molten iron and melt into slag.

Even rare and precious materials like black iron and copper essence can be easily melted.

Just as it was about to land on the bookshelf, suddenly, the faint spiritual light on the surface of the bookshelf shone brightly.

When the purple snake collided with the restrictive aura on the surface of the bookshelf, it easily burned a hole in the aura with a "poof." Then, purple flames spread and burned, quickly melting away the restrictive aura.

However, under Meng Yuan's skillful control, the heat of the Purple Cloud True Fire was contained and did not damage the items on the bookshelf.

Soon, the restriction was broken, and Meng Yuan raised his hand to put away the Purple Cloud True Fire.

Du Caidie couldn't help but glance at Meng Yuan a few more times. Although the purple true fire from earlier was well controlled and not much of its power was leaked, it still gave her a feeling of trepidation.

Even some of the Gu worms on her body showed abnormal reactions, seemingly terrified of this ball of purple true fire.

Most Gu worms are evil creatures. Except for a very few rare Gu worms and exotic species, the vast majority of Gu worms are naturally restrained by certain supernatural powers such as true fire and thunder magic.

Even her natal Gu, after sensing the aura of Meng Yuan's purple true fire, showed a hint of apprehension, demonstrating the terrifying nature of this true fire.

I really don't know how Meng Yuan cultivated such terrifying supernatural powers!

Meng Yuan arrived at the bookshelf.

On the bookshelf were some jade slips, books, and several magical artifacts shrouded in evil energy, such as a bone bowl and a ghost-head dagger.

Meng Yuan didn't look at the artifacts, but instead picked up one of the jade slips and probed it with his divine sense.

White Bone Capture Technique

Upon seeing that it contained a heretical cultivation method, and only a moderately high-quality demonic martial art at that, Meng Yuan casually put it down, showing little interest.

After reading several more jade slips, I discovered that most of these books were demonic cultivation methods, but they were mostly of average quality and intended for ordinary disciples of the Myriad Evil Cave.

Finally, Meng Yuan picked up a light blue jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and finally found his target.

"Collection of Dan Chen"!

This is a wonderful and profound alchemical classic.

It contains various methods of identifying medicines, processing them, controlling the fire, refining elixirs, and nurturing the elixir, and is part of the inheritance of a famous alchemy master from hundreds of years ago.

Meng Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and learned it directly.

[The secondary profession skill book "Dan Chen Ji Lu" has been detected. Do you want to learn it?]

"yes!"

The next moment, a surge of information flooded into Meng Yuan's mind.

[System notification: You have learned the "Collection of Dan Chen"!]

......

【Collection of Elixir Records, Level 1 (0/1200)】

......

Alchemy and weapon crafting were the secondary professions that Meng Yuan had always wanted to learn.

Being proficient in a secondary profession is not a bad thing, especially since alchemy is a profound art that can be beneficial to cultivation.

For example, the Dragon-Tiger Marrow-Replenishing Pill that Meng Yuan exchanged for merit points was a rare high-grade spiritual pill. If it weren't for this spiritual pill, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for him to create his clone Zhong Shenxiu.

Moreover, Meng Yuan himself will not only use the alchemy technique in the future, but once he refines miraculous pills, he can also sell them to players and harvest the experience points they have accumulated.

Setting the jade slip aside, Meng Yuan instructed, "Pack all these things up, seal them, and take them back. Remember, no one is allowed to touch them without my order!"

These cultivation methods, magical artifacts, and the gleaming gold and silver jewelry, swords and other weapons in the boxes nearby are clearly resources controlled by the disciples of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave at this stronghold, which can be considered as start-up capital.

After all, whether it's starting a rebellion or secretly plotting something, you need sufficient financial resources.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to move an inch.

But now... these things have obviously benefited the Demon Suppression Division.

"Yes, sir."

Du Caidie accepted the order and led her people to start packing.

Meng Yuan then left this secret room and came to the door of another secret room.

At this moment, the withered monk, who had finished dealing with some matters outside, came over, put his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, is there anything else you need, sir?"
