"Back in the day, with a wave of my hand, I was able to eat and drink well no matter where I went. Now that I'm by your side, not only do I not have good spiritual herbs to eat, but I also have to go out to find food. What's even more ridiculous is that I have to guide an ignorant youth like you every day. Tell me, why is my life so hard … "The little hamster's speech was full of emotion, and it seemed as if tears were about to flow down.
Chu Chen used two fingers to pinch the little hamster away from his ear and held it in front of him.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Just tell me if you have a way."
"It's just a small matter. How can it stump me?" The little hamster's fat body twisted and slipped out from between Chu Chen's two fingers that were like iron pincers. It smacked its lips. "The headquarters of the Medicine Palace is in the desert. You know this, right … About three hundred kilometers northwest from your Medicine Palace, there's a very deep cave that's steaming hot. That's the only medicinal fire cave in this desert. There are many kinds of medicinal fires inside … However, most of them are useless fires. Because they contain too many impurities, there's no way for cultivators to smelt them directly. However, this Medicine Palace is useful, so they'll buy them at a high price. "
"A useless fire seed can be exchanged for fifty contribution points in this Medicine Palace … If you're lucky enough to get a real medicinal fire seed, you can exchange it for at least five hundred contribution points. The most suitable way for you to earn contribution points in the near future is probably this. After all, medicinal fire is a good thing that all pharmacists yearn for even in their dreams. If you're lucky enough to get a rare medicinal fire seed, haha … Then you'll make a fortune. "
The little hamster laughed and wiped its mouth as it spoke.
Hm? Medicinal fire cave?
Chu Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this. When he first came to the Medicine Palace, he saw the magic of medicinal fire. Liu Leng wanted to release medicinal fire at that time, but she was restrained by the gatekeeper.
At that time, he knew that medicinal fire was something that every pharmacist in the Medicine Palace had to possess and refine.
There was actually a place to obtain medicinal fire. Chu Chen was instantly excited.
"Oh … That's right."
Seeing Chu Chen's excitement, the little Hamster pouted and said, "I forgot to tell you. The lowest level requirement to enter the Fire Medicine Cave is to be at the ninth level of the Spirit Water Realm and above. Seeing that your cultivation is only at the eighth level of the Spirit Water Realm … Go to the Spirit Ascension Platform and enjoy the breeze for two days. "
The little Hamster curled its lips and turned into a white phantom, disappearing without a trace.
It seemed that after sleeping for too long, the fat Hamster had started to steal food.
Although this arrogant rat didn't have any skills, if it wanted to escape, not many people could catch it. Therefore, Chu Chen wasn't worried about it.
Chu Chen furrowed his brows and pondered for a moment. Then, he smacked his lips and shook his head. "The spirit ascension platform … no matter where it is, it looks like I really have to make a trip there."
The Spirit Ascension Platform was a very special place in the Medicine Palace. It was located at the edge of a towering cliff.
According to legend, it was the place where all the earth veins in the Medicine Palace converged. It was equivalent to the spirit eye of a huge super spirit vein. Therefore, it contained an incomparably dense amount of spiritual energy. Cultivating there for a day was equivalent to cultivating outside for ten days.
However, the Spirit Ascension Platform wasn't a place that could be entered casually. Cultivating there for a day would cost three hundred contribution points. Chu Chen sold half of his Starfield Grass and the Soaring Dragon's Beard for seven hundred contribution points, but it was only enough for two days of cultivation!
Two days … In the Spirit Ascension Platform, he estimated that he should be able to condense the ninth drop of spirit water.
Chu Chen calculated in his mind. His current speed of condensing spirit water was already very slow. If he were to cultivate outside, he would have to persevere for more than a month or so.
Since the concentration of spiritual energy in the Spirit Ascension Platform was ten times that of the outside world, two days should be enough!
Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly put on his clothes, packed up his belongings, and ran into the depths of the Medicine Palace.
The Medicine Palace covered an extremely large area. After wandering around the various halls and secret areas for a full hour, Chu Chen finally arrived at a cliff that towered into the clouds.
Looking up, he saw layers upon layers of dense spiritual energy rising and enveloping the entire space.
The entire Spirit Ascension Platform was made up of countless large and small floating rocks. These rocks were a brass-colored and were all made up of extremely hard ten-thousand-year-old medicinal rocks. For an alchemist, this was the best place to cultivate.
A gentle breeze blew past, causing the huge medicinal rocks to gently sway. It looked as if they would fall from the sky at any moment. With his eyes like torches, Chu Chen could faintly see that these seemingly messy medicinal rocks actually formed a huge three-dimensional array. The higher one went, the closer they were to the center of the array. The spiritual energy contained within would also become denser.
When Chu Chen arrived at the management hall of the Spirit Ascension Platform and expressed his wish to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform to cultivate, the manager, who wore thick crystal glasses, looked down at Chu Chen for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a new student."
Chu Chen nodded and subconsciously rubbed his nose. Do I have the face of a newbie?
"As a new student, the amount of contribution points you receive is relatively limited." The manager pondered for a moment before speaking in a low and powerful voice, "I don't mind if you use your contribution points in the Spirit Ascension Platform … Although the speed of cultivation is very fast, it is more cost-effective to use your contribution points to buy the medicinal herbs you need. You should use them sparingly."
Chu Chen was stunned. He hadn't expected the manager to give him such advice. He nodded with a bitter smile and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Teacher. However, this disciple has a necessary reason to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform for two days. Please grant my wish, Teacher. "
Seeing Chu Chen's insistence, the manager didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then go up … Remember, you only have two days, a total of twenty-four hours. However, you must not fall from the medicinal rocks. Once you do, you must stop cultivating and your contribution points will not be refunded." With that said, he waved his hand at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen bowed. Then, his figure flashed like a vigorous dragon as he slithered up the floating medicinal rocks. He had already noticed that the higher the medicinal rocks were, the denser the spiritual energy was. Thus, he had a clear goal and jumped straight to the highest point.
The medicinal rocks were several hundred meters tall. When Chu Chen reached the highest point, he was surprised to find that there was already a figure sitting cross-legged on the highest medicinal rock.
It was an extremely sturdy fatty with a fierce expression. He was dressed in black and carried a huge sword as wide as a door on his back. It was Qi Fei.
