The belly of the Flying Cloud Summit.
Many spacious stone chambers had five-colored gems inlaid on the walls, which illuminated each chamber as bright as the day.
Although it was the belly of the mountain, it didn't feel dark at all. The air was well ventilated, and the heaven and earth spiritual Qi was thick.
Many of the stone rooms were filled with all kinds of strange herbs. These herbs were stored in special containers. The green leaves in the containers seemed to be still growing.
In a stone room the size of a basketball court, a thick carpet was laid on the floor, and an incense burner was burning. There were many wondrous Spirit Formations carved on the walls, and strands of colorful Spirit Qi slowly moved like snakes inside the Spirit Formations. It was extremely magical.
Shi Yan and Cherry sat down in this massive stone chamber.
Lin Ya Qi served them tea, her face full of smiles. "Hey, why do you remember the Dead Soul Mountain range? I heard that the Endless Sea had a big change. Why didn't you stay there? "
"The Endless Sea's crisis is solved. Within one hundred years, the Fourth Demon Area and the Seven-layered Underworld won't come to the Endless Sea anymore. The Sea Tribes are also safe. I don't need to worry about them." Shi Yan smiled, took a sip of tea, and then said neither slowly nor hurriedly. "How about you? Why didn't I see you in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist?"
"I was accompanying my teacher. I didn't have time to go to those two exotic lands." Lin Ya Qi's beautiful eyes brightened. "I heard that you had a big harvest in the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist. Do you have anything good to show me? You want me to get some benefits? "
"You have Old Li to take care of you. How could you like the little toy in my hand? Don't tease me." Shi Yan shook his head, his face serious. "Well, please notify Old Li. Tell him that I want to ask him for something."
Lin Ya Qi didn't linger on listening to him. She nodded and said, "You guys do as you please. I'm going to notify my teacher."
"Okay."
Lin Ya Qi turned sideways and entered a bright passage, which led to the belly of the mountain. Shortly, her figure disappeared.
Shi Yan drank his tea in silence, observing the wall with interest. Sometimes, he looked at Cherry with a pensive face.
Since they had entered this stone chamber, Cherry didn't say a word. All of her attention was focused on the spiritual formations on the walls. Her eyes sparkled as if she had found a treasure. She silently memorized them, as if she hated that she couldn't memorize all the spiritual formations on the walls. She didn't want to miss a single one.
"Cough cough!"
Shi Yan coughed to attract Cherry's attention. He beamed a faint smile and asked, "You're paying attention to the formation on the wall. Is it an inspiration for your refining?"
Cherry's soft body shivered. Her blue eyes sparkled as she nodded heavily. "Of course. The spiritual formations here are the routes that alchemists use their Soul Consciousness to move in the pellets. They contain the most mysterious spiritual formation field of an alchemist. If I can understand the mysteries of the spiritual formations here, my attainment in refining pellets will enter a whole new level."
Shi Yan was surprised.
Cherry explained, "When alchemists like us refine pellets, we have to pour our Soul Consciousness into the cauldron. We will use the Soul Consciousness to carve the spiritual formation to guide the herbs to activate and promote the efficacy of the herbs. A magical spiritual formation is the most important step in refining pellets. If something goes wrong in this step, even the best materials will be wasted. Alchemists who have a thorough understanding of the spiritual formation can not only save the herbs, but also enhance the efficacy of the pellets. Thus, an excellent alchemist should have a profound understanding of the spiritual formation. "
"So, what realm are you at?" asked Shi Yan with surprise.
"Me?" Cherry beamed a forced smile, shaking her head. "I'm too far behind. Even my teacher Zha Lin doesn't know how many spiritual formations there are. He can't understand them thoroughly. Only an alchemist like Elder Li can familiarize himself with the use of various Spirit Formations and completely bring out the potential of a pill.
Cherry explained simply, then continued to focus on the spiritual formation on the wall. She didn't mind him anymore.
People who could meet Li Zheng Rong were the peak warriors of the Grace Mainland, or excellent alchemists. Even Zha Lin didn't have the chance to come to this place.
Cherry had a hard time to get this chance. She even wanted to be misunderstood by Lin Ya Qi just to see these spiritual formations.
To an alchemist like her who was obsessed with alchemy, the Spiritual Array on the walls of this stone room was simply an endless treasure. It was similar to a martial artist's Martial Technique. As long as she could comprehend it, her future path of alchemy would become much brighter. Everything would go smoothly and she might even be able to advance to the next level.
Shi Yan wasn't an alchemist, so he couldn't understand her obsession. Seeing her concentrating so much, he didn't want to disturb her further. He just let her memorize the spiritual formation on the wall with a distressed face.
After waiting for one hour, Lin Ya Qi quietly returned. She waved her hand at Shi Yan, asking him to come here alone.
Shi Yan got up and found that Cherry didn't have any reaction. She was still concentrating on the wall.
Shi Yan smiled and then walked quietly to Lin Ya Qi, as he was afraid that he would disturb Cherry. He walked with her in the quiet cave.
Waiting until he had left Cherry, Lin Ya Qi snorted and rolled her eyes at him. "Hey, you care a lot about that woman, don't you? Not only did you bring her here, but you also don't want to disturb her. Tell me honestly, what's the relationship between you and her? "
"She's my woman. Didn't I tell you?"
"Only ghosts believe you! When you held her hand, she was surprised. She didn't act naturally. You think I didn't see that? "
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I gave you face. Bastard, you don't appreciate it?"
"No, thank you. Thank you."
"Then tell me, what's the relationship between you and her?"
"Nothing. The Spirit Hall has arranged for her to take me to the Flying Cloud Summit. She's taken good care of me on the way. She really wants to come to the Flying Cloud Summit to see. I'm a good guy, giving her a hand."
Lin Ya Qi was naive and naive. She seemed to be interested in the relationship between men and women a lot. Along the way, she kept asking about this topic, inquiring about Shi Yan's private matters. She even asked how many women he had had and how he had met each of them, which made Shi Yan depressed.
When they were halfway there, Shi Yan shut his mouth. No matter what she asked, he didn't say a word.
Lin Ya Qi gritted her teeth, glaring at him for a while. "I'm just curious. Can't you satisfy my little curiosity? You know, my Old Master controls me tightly. That kid Ye ZhangFeng often goes out. I don't have the guts to stay in this place all the time. It's so boring … "
Shi Yan was astounded for a while. "Your teacher doesn't allow you to go out?"
"When my realm hasn't reached his requirement, he forbids me to go out." Lin Ya Qi drooped her head, her face dispirited.
"Wait until you reach the Third Sky of Sky Realm and your alchemist level has reached the Spirit Level, I will allow you to go out for three years." A lazy laughter came up from behind the wall in front of them. The wall suddenly split open, revealing a passage decorated with precious gems. A dazzling light shone in front of the passage.
"Hurry up. Old Master heard it." Lin Ya Qi stuck out her tongue, quickened her pace, and glided towards that place.
ShiYan immediately followed him.
In a spacious cave, there were dozens of cauldrons of various sizes. Each cauldron was of a different color, and there were mysterious patterns engraved on the cauldrons like tadpoles. They were quite mysterious. The dozens of cauldrons occupied a small half of the space in the cave. Outside the cave, there were many utensils and bottles, all of which were filled with refining spirit herbs.
In the middle of dozens of cauldrons, a big fat man was lying. His fat body looked like a mountain of meat. He squinted his small eyes, wearing a harmless smile on his face. He looked at Shi Yan, slightly raised his hand and said, "My little friend, you are Shi Yan, right? Thank you for your drop of Life Original Fluid. Haha, you're from the Endless Sea. You're a distinguished guest. "
Li Zheng Rong moved his body, leaning against a big cauldron to sit up. He smiled embarrassedly. "I'm too fat. It's not convenient for me to move, and I'm too lazy to move. If I can sit, I won't stand. If I can lie down, I won't sit. When I used to refine pellets, I used my body to test the pellets. At that time, my realm wasn't high enough, so I refined many unqualified pellets. I ate too much, and my body got sick.
It's such a headache. "" Old Li, do as you please. You don't need to worry about me, "Shi Yan smiled kindly, walking to each cauldron. He observed dozens of cauldrons of different sizes, then asked with surprise." These cauldrons are Old Li's way of refining treasures, right? "
Li Zheng Rong's small eyes brightened. The fat on his face shivered as he smiled. "What do you mean?"
He looked like he wanted to test Shi Yan. He seemed to be interested, as his small eyes became more spirited.
"When Old Li was refining pellets in his early years, he must have used the biggest cauldron." Shi Yan put on a solemn countenance, walking to those big cauldrons. "At that time, Old Li's realm wasn't profound, and he relied too much on his tools. His knowledge of refining pellets wasn't enough. Thus, he needed the big cauldrons to carve the spiritual formation to urge the efficacy of the herbs."
"As Old Li's realm increased, his knowledge of the spiritual formation and his refining technique became better. Gradually, he recognized that tools were just a container for refining pellets. He didn't depend on the big cauldrons anymore. He started to understand the higher Upanishads of refining pellets. That's when he started to use the small cauldrons."
"When Old Li's realm reached the perfect realm, he didn't need the cauldrons anymore. He just needed the flame in his body to condense the pellets, which was the power of Nature. At this time, Elder Li had left the cauldron and stepped into the pinnacle of alchemy. He had become a grandmaster, so naturally, he didn't need to rely on external objects anymore. With his body as the cauldron and his mind as the medicine guide, he could condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He could catalyze and condense the power of the herbs to the greatest extent.
"Brat, you are indeed knowledgeable!" Li Zheng Rong's small eyes brightened. He nodded continually, and his fat hands clapped hard. He seemed to see Shi Yan again. "No wonder why that kid Chang Feng said you're extraordinary. Today, I know that although that little bastard is a little naughty, he has some knowledge."
Shi Yan smiled modestly. "I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to find Senior Li. I hope that Senior Li can help me get a friend back from the Pure Land. I can use the Life Original Fluid to exchange for it. "
Li Zheng Rong was astounded for a while. Eventually, he straightened his body, speaking with a serious face. "No matter what you offer, the Pure Land won't release them. I'm sure about this."
