It was still the same fog that surrounded the area. He could not see too far into the distance. Only the mountain could be seen faintly in the fog. It was quiet around him. There was no wind, and no sound.
Su Ming looked at the mountain shrouded in fog. This was the second time he came to this place, and the second time he scrutinized the strange mountain from this spot. When he remembered the countless strange words and pictures carved on the mountain, Su Ming could not help but feel a sense of respect towards it.
He took a deep breath and lowered his head to look at the pendant on his chest. The black stone on it had disappeared. Su Ming squeezed his body and once again confirmed that he was not in a dream. He had truly appeared in this place.
He put his hand into his bosom and saw that the bottles containing the Scattering Dusts were still behind him. A glint appeared in his eyes and he quickly walked into the fog before him. Before long, he arrived at the foot of the mountain and stepped into the tunnel.
He did not stop until he reached the stone door in the tunnel. He looked at the 15 holes in the middle of the familiar lines on the stone door. Su Ming hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and took out the medicinal bottle from his bosom. He poured out one pill, pinched it between his fingers, and placed it into the first of the 15 holes.
Almost the moment his fingers touched the small hole on the stone door, Su Ming immediately felt a weak suction force coming from the small hole, sucking the medicinal pills in his fingers into it.
Su Ming's face was grave and alert. He did not know whether his judgment was correct, and he did not know what would happen once the 15 holes were filled. But he had thought about this for a long time, and he was filled with anticipation.
He did not act recklessly. Once the first hole sucked in the medicinal pill, Su Ming looked at it. But after a while, the hole remained the same. There was no change.
Su Ming scratched his head. As he fell into deep thought, he brought out another medicinal pill and placed it into the second hole. Once he placed all 15 medicinal pills into the hole with a pained expression, he became even more nervous.
'15 medicinal pills. If there's no change, then it'll all be a waste …' Su Ming looked at the 15 holes nervously, but at that moment, a gentle light suddenly spread out from the 15 holes.
Su Ming's spirits lifted. He quickly took a few steps back. As the light from the 15 holes shone brighter, the lines on the stone door seemed to have come to life. They started moving slowly, and after a moment, they connected together and spun rapidly like a whirlpool.
As it rotated, the light from the 15 holes was sucked into the vortex bit by bit, causing the stone door to be enveloped in a layer of flowing light. There were also rumbling sounds that reverberated in the tunnel. It was deafening, causing 10 blood veins to appear on Su Ming's body. The Qi in his entire body tumbled as he instinctively fought back against the power.
The rumbling sound continued for a while. Then, 15 wisps of green smoke came out from the 15 holes. It was as if the medicinal pills inside had turned into smoke. Once the 15 wisps of green smoke appeared, the gigantic stone door started trembling. Right in the middle of the door, a straight crack suddenly appeared.
The crack connected the top and bottom. Then, the stone door slowly moved to the sides before Su Ming and opened up!
Su Ming's heart pounded against his chest. When he saw this, he was shocked. When the stone door was completely opened, he took a sharp breath. There was no longer a tunnel behind the stone door. There was only a stone chamber that was not too big.
The walls of the stone chamber were not smooth. There were some carvings on them. There was also a tightly shut door on the wall right before him.
On the ceiling of the stone chamber, there were some small stones that were glowing fused with the walls. There was also a faint fragrance coming from the stones. When people took a whiff of it, they would feel refreshed.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He walked forward slowly and cautiously. His gaze swept past the walls of the stone chamber. He saw that the carvings on the walls were similar to the ones he saw in the tunnel. There were some naked people with messy hair creating medicinal pills in a primitive atmosphere.
When Su Ming first entered this place, he was confused when he saw these carvings. Yet now that he had successfully quenched the herbs and gained more knowledge from his memories, he could understand a lot of things as he looked at the carvings.
The people in the carvings were creating different medicinal pills. As Su Ming looked at them, he could not help but become immersed in them. Once he verified what he saw with his own experiences, he became obsessed and forgot about the passing of time.
Once he finished looking at one, he would walk a few steps forward to search for the next one. He did not know how much time had passed, but when he finished looking at all the carvings, his gaze fell on the tightly shut door of the stone chamber.
It was a stone door that was slightly different from the first door. It was completely black and exuded a faint fragrance. It was as if the stone used to make the door was very strange.
There was also a heavy feeling to it. There was also a picture on the door. However, the picture was of a gigantic Barren Cauldron. There were also wisps of smoke emitting from the carvings. It looked very realistic. As Su Ming looked at it, he had a feeling that it was not a picture, but a real Barren Cauldron that was being quenched.
'If only I had a Barren Cauldron like this …' Su Ming looked at it enviously.
He saw a few different herbs on the top and sides of the Barren Cauldron. He immediately became excited and looked at them carefully. He came here to see if there were any other ways to create medicinal pills.
There were seven herbs listed on the left side of the Barren Cauldron. Five of them were the herbs needed to create Scattering Dusts. As for the other two herbs, Su Ming had never seen them before. He looked at them for a while and memorized their faces.
There were eight small holes on the stone door under the formula.
There were eight herbs listed on the right side of the Barren Cauldron. It was the same as the one on the left. Five of the eight herbs were also needed to create Scattering Dusts.
Su Ming's eyes lit up when he saw the three extra herbs. He knew two of them, but they were not commonly seen.
There were also small holes under the formula, but there were more of them than on the left side. There were 12 of them.
As for the third formula on the top of the Barren Cauldron, Su Ming's expression slowly turned serious when he looked at it. This prescription wasn't about plants or trees, but three frightening pictures.
The first one was the scale of a python's tail. The second one was the ninth leg of a nine-legged spider. The third one was a small black humanoid the size of a palm with the third finger on its right hand.
What was even stranger was that there were no holes under the third formula. It was as if the medicinal pill was too difficult to create, so there was no need to force it to be created.
Su Ming fell silent for a moment. He looked away and walked towards the stone door. He lifted his right hand and pressed it without hesitation. Immediately, the picture of the Barren Cauldron on the stone door let out a piercing light that enveloped Su Ming's body.
After a moment of discomfort, another memory appeared in Su Ming's head. He also obtained the method to create the three medicinal pills and their names.
"South Asunder!" Su Ming looked at the left side of the picture of the Barren Cauldron, then at the right side.
"Mountain Spirit … As for the last one … the Welcoming of Deities!" Su Ming looked at the strange formula on the top of the picture of the Barren Cauldron on the stone door and mumbled.
As Su Ming was deep in thought, the dark light surrounding him gradually dimmed. The light from the Barren Cauldron on the stone door also dimmed. The moment the light completely disappeared, Su Ming's vision blurred. He was not nervous. He had experienced this once before. There was a strange whistling sound in his ears. When the whistling sound stopped, his vision slowly cleared up. He was still in his room in the tribe.
Su Ming took a deep breath and immediately went to the door. He moved the chair away and pushed the door open. It was still dark outside. The stars shone brightly in the sky. It was quiet all around him. The night breeze blew past him, bringing with it a chill.
However, there was a white line in the sky in the distance. It was clear that dawn was about to arrive.
"The time inside and outside should be about the same …" Su Ming closed the door and sat down cross-legged once again. He supported his chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.
'The methods to create these three medicinal pills are all different. I've never seen the two herbs in the formula for South Asunder, so I won't think about it for now. As for … the Welcoming of Deities …' Su Ming's pupils shrank slightly.
"This pill isn't made from plants and the ingredients required are too strange. But based on the memories I obtained, once this pill is formed, the phenomenon that appears is incredibly shocking!" Su Ming recalled the people he saw in the memories he obtained. Once he created the Welcoming of Deities, he could vaguely see the weather change and the wind and clouds tumble backwards. Su Ming could not help but feel his heart pounding.
"If I can create this pill, it will definitely be amazing! It's a pity … even the stone door did not have a small hole. It's clear that the creation of this pill is incredibly difficult … that's why it has nothing to do with opening the door. "Su Ming thought about it for a moment and guessed most of it.
"The only thing I can create now is Mountain Spirit. I know two of the three extra herbs … I might not have them with me but there should be quite a lot of them in the medicine store in the tribe."
As Su Ming was thinking, the sky outside gradually brightened. A new day had arrived.
Even if he did not rest for the entire night, Su Ming did not feel sleepy. This feeling was incredibly obvious after he reached the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm. It was as if he had a lot of energy. Unless he stayed up all night for a few days straight, he would not feel tired.
When the sun rose and the tribe members started their busy day, Su Ming washed up and walked towards a house not too far away from the tribe. It was built with plants and was surrounded by fences. It was also guarded by the tribe members at all times.
