It was very likely that some instructors would talk about the results of talisman creation on the surface, but in the end, they would talk about strange things for an entire day.
It was because of Nameless Elder's extreme instability that very few disciples were willing to listen to his lectures. Shen Qian was a little hesitant when she heard that there was only such a lecture.
"Chu Chen, what do you think? Should we sign up for this instructor?"
"To me, any instructor is the same." Chu Chen smiled slightly. Actually, to him, as long as he had enough time to read the books in the library, it didn't make a difference whether he had an instructor or not. He just needed to learn by himself.
Seeing Chu Chen's confident look, Shen Qian had nothing to worry about. She smiled at the female instructor and said, "If that's the case, then let's sign up for this."
To Shen Qian, it was fine as long as someone taught her.
No matter how unreliable an instructor was, since he was a talisman creator, he would at least teach her something. Anyway, at this level, she would learn whatever she could.
The female instructor nodded and recorded down Chu Chen and Shen Qian's information. Then, she took out two crystal clear jade talismans and handed them to the two. "The place where Nameless Elder teaches is in the Medicine Palace Forest behind the Medicine Palace. You can only enter with this jade talisman. Don't lose it. Go there first thing tomorrow morning."
"Understood." The two bowed to the instructor and left the teaching office.
Early the next morning, Chu Chen and Shen Qian arrived at the entrance of the Medicine Palace Forest.
The Medicine Palace Forest was a forest behind the Medicine Palace. It was also the only oasis in the entire Ding City.
However, the strange thing was that it was impossible to enter this forest from the outside. From the outside, it looked like the city behind the Medicine Palace. There was no forest! One could only truly enter the forest after crossing an arch bridge from inside the Medicine Palace.
Therefore, this forest could be considered a secret realm inside the Medicine Palace. Chu Chen and Shen Qian took the talismans and walked towards the back of the Medicine Palace.
At the back of the Medicine Palace was a cliff that wasn't very high. On the cliff was a mottled stone bridge.
This small bridge looked very, very old. There were traces of wind and rain everywhere on it. The palm-sized pieces of stone were uneven, telling the story of this stone bridge's antiquity.
This stone bridge was very long, about five hundred feet long. Below the stone bridge was a bottomless abyss that stretched as far as the eye could see. This was the famous "Secret Abyss" of Ding City. It was said that in the deepest part of the Secret Abyss lived the guardian spirit beast of the Medicine Palace. However, it had not appeared for hundreds of years.
After passing through the stone bridge and the secret abyss, they arrived at a rather short cave.
As soon as they entered the cave, a strong smell of spirit herbs assaulted their nostrils.
The light in the cave was a little dim. This made Shen Qian subconsciously move closer to Chu Chen. "What the hell is this place? It's so eerie."
No matter what, girls would always feel an inexplicable sense of fear in this kind of place.
"I'm afraid this is the legendary spirit herb cave. It is said that this entire cave was carved out of the roots of some thousand-year-old spirit herbs. If you walk through here, you can be cleansed by the spirit herbs. This will make it easier for the alchemists to sense the changes in the talismans. This medicine cave is the treasure of the Medicine Palace. "
Chu Chen smiled. "I told you to read more books. You don't even know about such an important place."
"What's there to show off about being a bookworm?" Shen Qian rolled her eyes at him.
In fact, the legend of the medicine cave did make sense.
After walking through a section of the cave that was about a thousand feet long, Chu Chen could clearly feel that his understanding of alchemy had deepened. Even Shen Qian, who was not very good at alchemy, could clearly feel that she had improved.
This scene made the two of them very happy.
After walking through the medicine cave, Chu Chen and Shen Qian were stunned. There was an empty space in front of them. There were two white-haired elders sitting on prayer mats, one on the left and one on the right. They were motionless. Beneath them was a flat piece of greenish-gray rock, on which there were lines of mysterious array patterns.
The Yin and Yang Dust Formation! The incomplete Yin and Yang Dust Formation!
Chu Chen's shock was no small matter!
The two elders were sitting in a very mysterious position. They were in harmony with the Yin and Yang Dao of heaven and earth. He had seen this kind of array once before. It was when his soul had traveled to the ancient immortal mountain. He had seen these special ancient patterns near the top of the mountain.
The Yin and Yang Dust Formation was one of the most famous arrays in the ancient mythological era. It was as famous as the Nine Bends Yellow River Array and the Ten Ultimate Killing Arrays.
This was a space-type array. When completed, it was said that a speck of dust could carry the sun, moon, and stars. It was the protective array of the ancient Mount Shu sword immortals.
At this moment, the patterns under the two elders were not as ancient, broad, or vast as the ones Chu Chen had seen. However, they had the special charm of the Yin and Yang Dust Formation. This made Chu Chen feel a sense of awe.
It was no wonder that this secret forest realm was so mysterious. Outsiders had only heard of it, but not many had actually seen it. It turned out that there was such an ancient array guarding it!
"The secret forest realm is not for trespassing. You two little dolls, this is not the place to talk about love. "
As if sensing the two approaching, one of the black-robed elders opened his eyes slightly, revealing a dazzling light. "If you don't have the Guiding Jade Talisman, you should go back quickly."
"Guiding Jade Talisman? Is this it?" Shen Qian took out the jade talisman that the female instructor had given them from her Storage Ring and showed it to the two elders.
"Oh? I didn't expect that there would be people attending this old man's class. "The black-robed elder narrowed his eyes and nodded." Go in. "
"Thank you, seniors." Shen Qian and Chu Chen bowed to the two elders and hurried toward the forest at the edge of the open space.
When they really stepped into the forest of the Medicine Palace, they found that the forest was really unimaginably huge.
In front of them was an endless stretch of giant dark green trees. What was more amazing was that the giant trees in this forest were not like the ordinary primeval forests where only the leaves were green and the trunks were bluish-gray.
All the trees in this forest were dark green from top to bottom, looking as if they were carved out of a huge piece of dark green jade, full of texture.
"Uh … where should we go now?"
Shen Qian was very surprised. The forest in front of them was really too big, like an endless green sea. Moreover, the trees here seemed to be of the same species. Once they fell into it, it would be like falling into an endless green space, and they would not be able to distinguish the direction at all.
"The Yin and Yang Dust Formation, the power of dust, evolves into a boundless world. This test is to test our comprehension. Use your heart to sense the entire space, and you will find the exit."
Chu Chen smiled slightly, closing his eyes. His spirit sense slowly spread out in all directions.
Hearing this, Shen Qian also slowly closed her eyes. Her current cultivation had reached the peak of the [First Stage of the Man Spring] of the Spirit spring stage. Moreover, her aptitude, foundation, and talent were not bad.
Therefore, as long as she calmed her heart, she would very quickly be able to sense traces of a special aura in the air.
If she used her spirit sense to carefully investigate, she would be able to discover that in the seemingly calm forest, there were countless fine lines of "Spirit power".
These lines of Spirit power were emitted from every tree, following a uniform direction and extending into the distance. It looked as if they were forming a "tunnel".
"This is …" Shen Qian was slightly surprised. She had never thought that she would be able to see such a gorgeous and dazzling scene.
"The essence of this forest is that it's a huge ancient formation. Every giant tree is actually a part of the formation. Therefore, these lines of Spirit power are the lines and tracks of the formation. As long as we follow these tracks, we will be able to find the heart of the formation, which is also the place where this substitute teacher lives. "Chu Chen smiled slightly.
"Hahaha … long time no see, brother Chu's eyesight is still as sharp as ever!"
Just as Chu Chen and Shen Qian were conversing, a long and heroic laugh was heard. The two were taken aback for a moment. Turning their heads, they saw an old man walking out from the forest. He looked to be around sixty or seventy years old. His hair and beard were completely white. But what was surprising was that this person was wearing a robe that only the students of the Medicine Palace would wear. It was not the robe worn by the old teachers and elders.
Old student? Such an old new student??
Shen Qian's eyes widened. Chu Chen only hesitated for a moment before remembering. Clasping his hands together, he smiled at the old man, "Senior Li, long time no see."
The person who came was the oldest among Chu Chen's batch of new students, Li Taixin.
When Chu Chen first entered the Medicine Palace to study, Li Taixin was ranked sixth on the "Medicine Palace's new student waiting list". Because he was a late bloomer, he did not discover his cultivation aptitude until he was over seventy years old. Thus, he entered the Medicine Palace to study.
During the Medicine Palace's new student trial, he had met Chu Chen once. Therefore, he had a very deep impression of him.
"Haha, brother Chu, you must be joking. In the path of cultivation, those who are accomplished come first. In terms of cultivation, aptitude, and talent, I'm not as good as you. I'm just a few years older than you. How could I dare to be called 'senior'? Just call me by my name. "
Li Taixin laughed, "I didn't expect to meet you here. We haven't seen each other for half a year since we parted."
"Yes, only after entering the Medicine Palace did I realize that the cultivation courses were actually so arduous." Chu Chen smiled and nodded, "Did you also come here to attend that nameless teacher's medicine talisman refining course?"
"Sigh, don't mention it!" Hearing Chu Chen's words, Li Taixin immediately shook his head with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness, "This old man is old. His body is not flexible. In order to obtain the qualification to learn medicine talisman refining, I spent too much time and energy fishing three Mysterious Crystal Fish. When I finally caught three fish with great difficulty, I was told that all the medicine talisman refining courses were already full. Helpless, I could only come to this nameless teacher. Anyway, I'll learn whatever I can. What about you guys? "
