After spending an entire day, Long Yucai finally walked through all eighteen entrances of the storage palace. Furthermore, he walked through four halls from each entrance.
There were a total of seventy-two medicinal pill bottles. Unfortunately, some of them were empty. In the end, Long Yu obtained fifty-one medicinal pills, all of which were Ancient grade and Immemorial grade. There was even a large pile of transcendent-grade and peak-grade medicinal pills.
However, Long Yu didn't dare to use them rashly, so he decided to go back and ask the Death Envoy first.
Long Yu looked at the halls at the back, very envious, but it was a pity that if he went any further, he would be sucked away by the spatial crack that traversed the entire hall. If he lost his life, it wouldn't be worth it.
However, when Long Yu saw that there were still three more palace halls behind, all of them were filled with pill bottles that were protected by spirit arrays. He felt rather reluctant. There were so many pills, but he could see them but he couldn't get them. It was really too puzzling.
The entire storage palace originally had at least tens of thousands of halls, which stored tens of thousands of pills. Even if most of them were destroyed by the spatial crack, there were still a few hundred that weren't destroyed.
And now, Long Yu had only obtained 51 pills. Naturally, he wasn't too satisfied.
It wasn't that he didn't know how to be content, but he was very clear that he wouldn't have such an opportunity again after this. Where would the other ancient ruins have so many pills for him?
Every sufferer was a natural alchemist, and the one who was caught by the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor was probably the only one …
"Let's see if I can use other methods."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes and thought hard.
The entire palace was pitch-black, but as long as Long Yu formed a hand seal, the surrounding stone walls would all light up, illuminating the entire hall.
This hand seal was exactly the same as the one used to close the protective arrays of the pills. Suddenly, Long Yu had an idea, and formed the hand seal, extinguishing all the light in the surroundings.
"Ancient Shadow, turn into a shadow and move forward!"
Long Yu formed an ancient shadow, and then turned it into a shadow, moving forward in the darkness. Soon, he discovered that the spatial crack really didn't have any suction force on pure shadows!
Anything else, even if Long Yu formed a Nine Nether Hand, would be sucked away by the spatial crack, but after turning into a shadow, it wouldn't be affected by any suction force!
This solved the problem of the spatial crack's suction force, but in this way, there was another problem in front of Long Yu, and that was that after turning into a shadow, he couldn't form a hand seal, and couldn't close the protective arrays of the pills. How could he take the pills?
Long Yu pondered for a moment, then stopped the ancient shadow from turning into a shadow and stood in the hall again, and instantly felt the strong suction force of the spatial crack.
However, Long Yu immediately made the Desolate Ancient Shadow cast the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light, enveloping the entire palace hall in the black fog of the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light!
The ancient shadow, which was originally affected by the suction force, instantly stopped in place, which made Long Yu overjoyed.
Sure enough, the Light of Nine Nether could block all the effects of the spatial divine characters, and even when facing the suction force of the spatial crack, it could still stop it!
Unfortunately, the Light of Nine Nether could completely not affect the spatial divine characters, but it itself would be sucked away by the spatial crack's suction force, and the speed at which it was sucked away was quite fast.
This had already given Long Yu enough opportunities. If he still couldn't obtain more pills, he might as well just knock his head against the wall and die.
As expected of the ancient martial skill Light of Nine Nether, this was a martial skill used by the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor, naturally it was extraordinary, especially after he cultivated it to perfection.
If he could step into the Transcendent realm, the effect of this move would be even more shocking.
The Light of Nine Nether cast by the ancient shadow only needed two breaths' time for all the black fog to be sucked away by the spatial crack's suction force.
Therefore, Long Yu had to constantly cast the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light. The Nine Underworld Heavenly Light he cast himself could only last for three breaths of time. However, Long Yu still needed time to form seals. Therefore, he could only continuously condense Desolate Ancient Afterimages and let them cast the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light one after another.
Fortunately, he had stepped into the Emperor Path Secret Realm, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this.
It was precisely because he could continuously cast the Light of Nine Nether that he was slowly approaching the next hall that the energy in his body was constantly being consumed. Almost every twenty breaths' time, he had to absorb a shadow attribute beast crystal.
This made him pay a huge price!
Even though he had stored thousands of beast crystals in the Void Spirit Dragon Blade, he couldn't keep up with this kind of consumption. But compared to the pills he was about to obtain, these beast crystals were not even worth mentioning.
When Long Yu returned, he spent fifty thousand shenbi to exchange for these one thousand beast crystals.
But if he could obtain one more pill here, it would be worth more than fifty million shenbi. This was a transaction that was a thousand times more valuable. Anyone would be willing to do it.
"Hand seal, open!"
After going through a lot of hardships, Long Yu finally moved forward a hundred li and arrived at the fifth hall. Then, he formed a hand seal to cancel the protective formation that stored the pills, and grabbed the pill bottle in his hand.
"Since I'm already here, I can't let go of the sixth and even the seventh hall!"
As Long Yu cast the Light of Nine Nether, he flew forward quickly. But this was too much of a consumption. He soon discovered that he had already used up ten beast crystals by the time he reached the fifth hall.
At this rate, he wouldn't have enough beast crystals to take away all the pills. Not to mention, the closer he got to the spatial crack, the stronger the suction force, and the faster his energy would be consumed!
Long Yu thought about it and made an extremely bold decision.
He gave up on using the Light of Nine Nether to conceal himself as he advanced. Instead, he directly exposed himself in the palace passageway and was quickly sucked in by the spatial crack's suction force.
Although it was extremely dangerous, this action allowed him to quickly reach the sixth hall a hundred li away. Moreover, he didn't have to spend a single beast crystal!
Upon reaching the sixth palace hall, Long Yu reacted quickly. In that instant, he raised his hand and unleashed the Nine Underworld Heaven Light, enveloping the entire palace hall. After that, the Desolate Age's afterimages condensed and began to take turns to unleash the Nine Underworld Heaven Light.
The Nine Nether Heavenly Lights cast by the Desolate Ancient Shadows only needed a breath's time to be completely absorbed. So, Long Yu's consumption in the sixth hall was more than double that of the fifth hall.
Fortunately, it only took three breaths' time for Long Yu to continue letting go, quickly heading towards the seventh hall!
He had already obtained the pill bottle from the sixth hall. Everything had gone smoothly, but he needed to be even more careful. This was because at this point, the suction force from the spatial crack was becoming increasingly strong.
By the time he reached the seventh hall, the Nine Nether Heavenly Light that Long Yu's Desolate Ancient Shadows condensed would be completely sucked away by the suction force in half a breath's time. Long Yu's consumption had doubled once more!
All that was left of the seventh hall were broken walls. Further ahead was an endless void. He was likely thousands of miles away from the spatial crack, but the suction force was already extremely great.
Even the palaces that had been fused with countless first-rate divine rune crystals couldn't resist the suction force of the spatial crack at such a close distance. If Long Yu continued forwards, he wouldn't even be able to condense the Nine Nether Heavenly Light to stop himself from being sucked into the spatial crack. This was because the suction force was far too strong. With his current level of Nine Nether Heavenly Light, it was impossible for him to withstand it.
Long Yu was not in the mood to observe the ruins of this palace. After obtaining the elixir from the seventh palace hall, he immediately turned around and flew back to where he came from. At this moment, he could not conserve his energy like he did when he came here.
He had to constantly condense divine rune crystals and condense the Desolate Ancient Shadows. Only then could he return step by step and resist the tyrannical suction force of the spatial crack.
From the seventh hall to the sixth hall, he had used up a total of 40 beast crystals!
From the sixth hall to the fifth hall, he had used up another 20 beast crystals!
Finally, from the fifth hall to the safe fourth hall, he had used up 10 beast crystals. In other words, he had obtained three pill bottles on this trip, which meant that he had used up 70 beast crystals.
"If I calculate it like this, then if I want to go through the other seventeen entrances, I will need a total of 1200 beast crystals to restore my strength … I have less than 900 on me right now. It's not enough!"
But even if it wasn't enough, Long Yu wouldn't stop doing this, because he had really profited greatly this way.
He opened the medicine bottle from the seventh palace hall, and immediately, an ancient medicinal fragrance wafted out. With just a sniff, Long Yu felt as if he had been transported to an endless battlefield, watching countless ancient existences constantly killing each other on the battlefield …
This was a pill that surpassed the Archaean level!
Right now, Long Yu couldn't take it anymore. He immediately closed the pill bottle, and this made him even more determined to go to the other entrances and get the pill out of the seventh hall.
A pill that surpassed the Archaean level, just what level would it be?
Long Yu hadn't heard the Envoy of Death mention it before, but he knew that it definitely existed. A pill that surpassed the Archaean level contained spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it could even be tens of thousands of times that of an Archaean level pill.
One had to know that there was a difference of one level between the Archaean and Archaean level.
And how much stronger would a pill that surpassed the Archaean level be compared to an Archaean level pill?
Not to mention, a pill that surpassed the Archaean level could possibly contain some sort of unique effect. This wasn't something that the current Long Yu wouldn't know about, in fact, no one in the entire Shen Wu world would know about.
A pill that surpassed the primordial grade was a priceless treasure to Long Yu. What did it matter to him to expend a mere seventy exotic beast crystals?
Long Yu continued to work, entering the other entrances one after another, going deep into the seventh hall and taking away the pill bottles inside.
After seven days and seven nights, Long Yu had gone through all ten entrances and obtained another 30 pill bottles. But unfortunately, six of them were empty, leaving only 24 pills.
Among them, only the pill that Long Yu obtained the first time was a pill that surpassed the Archaean level. The other pills in the seventh hall were either Archaean level supreme or Archaean level supreme level pills.
And after seven days and seven nights, Long Yu continued to use the Nine Underworld Heavenly Light without stopping, finally allowing this martial skill to achieve another breakthrough.
