(PS: Thanks to the "Leisurely Listening to the Wind and Rain" Alliance's second chapter.)
There were shadows in the central control area. One could imagine that the problems in those areas wouldn't be small.
Yan Zhaoge roughly identified them and realized that they were all the vital areas of the Pill Hall.
The core control area of the hall, the core pill room, the pill storage, the medicine storage …
These vital areas were all shrouded in shadows.
If the central control area was compared to the front desk or the hall, it would be the main control room.
What was worth mentioning was that there were a large amount of precious pill recipes stored here.
It was even more complete than the records in the Martial Repository. Some pill recipes weren't even preserved in the Martial Repository, and could only be found here.
The core pill room was the largest and had the best environment among all the silent rooms used to refine pills.
In the past, including the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, most of the top-notch pill refinement furnaces of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace were placed there.
There were only a few people in the entire Heavenly Court who were qualified to use the core pill room to refine pills.
From a certain perspective, the pill storage was the most attractive place.
Because it stored a large amount of refined divine pills and treasured pills that weren't brought out by others.
The Pill Hall wasn't destroyed during the Great Calamity. If nothing unexpected happened, the pill storage should be relatively intact.
As for the medicine storage, it stored all sorts of treasures, spirit grasses, and spirit medicines that were prepared to be used to refine pills. In terms of value, it wasn't much inferior to the pill storage.
Yan Zhaoge scanned his surroundings and paid attention to the spots that seemed to contain impurities within the streams of lights.
These represented Yan Di and the others who entered the Pill Hall.
They weren't like Yan Zhaoge, who could find his path in the Pill Hall. Therefore, they seemed to be stagnant.
If one didn't know how to walk within the Pill Hall's cosmic void, it was no different from walking on the spot.
Only bigwig experts whose cultivation had reached a certain level could ignore part of the rules and walk freely.
However, Yan Zhaoge and the others' cultivation had yet to reach the level where they could suppress others with their aura.
"Unfortunately, I can't only open a part of the restrictions. I have to open all of them if I want to." Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips regretfully, "If someone else enters from behind, they wouldn't be obstructed anymore."
Yan Zhaoge naturally wouldn't give up the advantage of being the first to enter. Then, he started writing in the air.
One seal after another froze in the air before transforming into a beautiful and profound scripture.
Yan Zhaoge summoned the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace once more, stamping it like he was signing his name.
Then, the mysterious runes flew up into the sky and disappeared into the starry void.
In the next moment, the light streams that were like the stars in the sky all trembled, and then all turned blue.
The speed at which the balls of light flowed had clearly slowed down, no longer forming a continuous stream of light. Instead, the balls of light were slowly moving in a certain pattern, clearly distinguishable.
Then, the "impurities" in the ball of light gradually became clear, as if they were human figures.
However, the images were still very blurry, and he couldn't tell who was who.
However, the movements of those figures had clearly become much more natural. They began to search for their own paths instead of staying where they were.
"I'm still not familiar with this place. If I could study it for a few more days, I would be able to control this place more deeply. At that time, it would also be a simple matter to directly contact father and the others. Sadly, time waits for no man." Yan Zhaoge thought as he observed.
At the same time, he vaguely felt that someone was interfering with him, causing him to be unable to control this place better.
Thinking about it, it should be the opponent who used the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace to set up the trap.
Yan Zhaoge's figure shook. As if his clone had turned into a shadow, another person suddenly appeared beside him.
It was his North Ocean Clone.
The North Ocean Clone had already returned to his human form. After appearing, he raised his head and looked at the "starry sky" in front of him.
After leaving his clone here, Yan Zhaoge himself left this place and continued his journey.
Currently, he had already understood most of the patterns of the changes within the Pill Hall, as well as the various paths.
Now, he was going to explore those shadowy areas.
His opponent seemed to be busy with other matters, and couldn't be bothered to stop them from entering. Of course, this was a good start.
However, on the other hand, Yan Zhaoge and the others wouldn't have a good time if he really got what he wanted.
It would be best if he could stop his opponent's actions midway.
Yan Zhaoge walked alone for a while. After passing through layers of void, his footsteps gradually slowed down.
According to his memory, he was already approaching a shadowy area according to the Pill Hall's internal structure.
He hadn't reached the important areas yet. It belonged to the outer area, and was near the pill storage.
After arriving at the shadowy area, Yan Zhaoge's heart moved slightly, "Such a strong suppression …"
There seemed to be an invisible force suppressing the circulation of Yan Zhaoge's true essence.
Yan Zhaoge silently circulated his profound art and got rid of this influence. However, he also became more cautious.
If he were to fight with someone here, the consumption would be much higher than outside.
"The medicinal fragrance in this area is also fading." His nose twitched, and he felt that this place was unusual.
While walking in the dark void and feeling the invisible force, Yan Zhaoge's expression didn't change.
As he was vigilant of his surroundings, he stopped his footsteps. He found a door in the void and opened it.
This was a quiet room used for alchemy.
After opening the door, Yan Zhaoge's pupils suddenly shrunk.
There was a figure inside the room.
A person who had already died.
Yan Zhaoge's first reaction was to raise his alertness to the highest. He was on full alert, and checked the quiet room inside and out.
After confirming that there was no other living person other than himself, he walked in and came to the side of the person who had died.
This was a lean and handsome old man. He had white hair and a youthful face, and didn't look old at all.
His eyes were closed, and his expression was peaceful as if he was sleeping.
Yan Zhaoge had seen him before.
At that time, he didn't know his exact identity, but he did later on.
World beyond Worlds' Kunlun Mountain's Ingenious Flying Peak, of the Grand Clear lineage, Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi's senior apprentice-brother, ninth level Martial Saint, late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, "Broad Clear Old Man" Ran Chi.
In the past, he had been one of the famous experts in the World beyond Worlds.
Back then, he had led the team to participate in the fight for the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace. In the end, he had fallen into a trap, and disappeared together with two other Immortal Bridge Martial Saint experts and three Prime Clear lineage experts. After so many years, his whereabouts were still unknown.
From the looks of it now, he had already perished.
After mourning for a while, Yan Zhaoge said softly, "I'm sorry."
He extended his palm and placed it on Ran Chi's wrist.
Although Ran Chi no longer had a pulse, Yan Zhaoge's true essence still entered his body.
Almost immediately, he felt a miraculous power contained within Ran Chi's body.
This power wasn't dangerous. It was just that because of Yan Zhaoge's touch, it was going out of control, and might cause damage within Ran Chi's body.
Yan Zhaoge's expression didn't change as he immediately suppressed it.
"He has already died for so many years. The reason why his body hasn't decayed is not because the qi and blood of an Immortal Bridge Martial Saint is strong. On the contrary, it is because of the maintenance of this power."
"The inside of his body … has long since been in tatters!"
It wasn't that his body had been decayed. Instead, every single bit of existence within his body, including his flesh, blood, bones, meridians, internal organs, and even his blood vessels that were thinner than a strand of hair, had all been destroyed.
The old man before him was like a statue of sand.
If not for the maintenance of the power within his body, he would probably have long since been reduced to dust.
With Yan Zhaoge's light touch just now, that power had lost its balance. If he hadn't suppressed it in time, the old man's corpse would have shattered as well.
And in that instant of contact, Yan Zhaoge felt that icy cold intent once more!
