The entire area occupied by the Pill Pavilion was about the size of an ordinary large sect. Apart from some obstructing formations on the path leading up the mountain, there were no obstructing formations set up in the main hall and even the back.
However, the area was too large. Yi Tian didn't dare to fly directly in the air for fear of triggering a backlash from the formation. Along the way from the Technique Inheritance Hall, they continuously passed by several side halls.
There was a sign at the entrance of each hall. Yi Tian's eyes only took a quick glance before he imprinted the structure of each hall in his mind.
The Pill Pavilion also followed the prescribed order of selecting some outer sect disciples with aptitude to enter. Then, they would divide the various steps of refining pills into categories. Every hall would have a test, and only those who passed would be able to enter the next stage of learning.
After flying past a group of stone halls, Yi Tian looked up and saw an ordinary stone room at the end of the stone path. However, the building in that direction was definitely not simple.
He couldn't help but think that this was the stone room where the Pill Pavilion's Head Elder, Wan Zongming, was cultivating. He instantly flew toward the end.
After ten breaths of time, Yi Tian arrived in front of the stone room. After looking around, he found that the stone room had no door. The surrounding walls were engraved with rune formations. If he tried to break the formation by force, it would definitely trigger a backlash from the formation.
After thinking about it, he took out seven formation breaking needles with his left hand. He then walked around the stone room, trying to find a node to break through from the formation inscriptions.
However, after walking around, he didn't find a chance to break through. This stone room was completely isolated. There was no door or window. He didn't know how Wan Zongming got in.
Every time he wanted to get within ten feet of the stone room, the inscriptions on the walls would begin to flash as if they wanted to attack.
After putting away the Restriction Breaking Needles, Yi Tian stared at the stone room in a daze. After a while, a thought flashed through his mind. He took out the horsetail whisk that he had obtained in the main hall. His right hand raised the Nan Ming Li Fire and infused it with it. Then, he gently raised the horsetail whisk and swung it at the stone room. A white spiritual light appeared above the stone chamber and drilled into the wall of the stone chamber.
After three breaths of time, creaking sounds could be heard coming from the four walls. The restrictive inscriptions were activated and scattered to one side, revealing a medium-sized door.
Yi Tian was overjoyed when he saw this. He put away the horsetail whisk in his hand and rushed into the door in a flash. After Yi Tian's figure disappeared, the stone room actually became distorted, and soon disappeared into thin air at the end of the passage.
After entering the interior of the stone chamber, Yi Tian was faced with a straight corridor. He reached out his right hand and lit up a wisp of flame to illuminate the path ahead. Only then did he realize that this place was like a sealed space.
When he walked around the outside, he discovered that the stone chamber was only thirty feet in radius, but after entering the interior, he discovered that there was more to it than meets the eye. After walking for a short while, he could vaguely see a white light in the distance. However, at his current speed, he didn't know when he would reach the end.
In order to save time, he cast the escape technique and cast the True Flame Armor around his body. He exerted force under his feet and suddenly a green and red spiritual power spread through his body. He blasted out like an arrow leaving the bow.
With this speed, Yi Tian roughly estimated that he flew for nearly a hundred breaths before reaching the exit of the passage. If he was outside, he would have flown thousands of miles away.
After exiting the light door, he came to an ordinary stone chamber. At this time, he hurriedly scanned with his Divine Thought for fear of missing any clues. This must be the place where Wan Zongming was in retreat. In the middle of the stone chamber, there was a flower pot with some black soil in it, but there were no traces of spiritual plants in this flower pot.
After scanning the flower pot with his Divine Thought, Yi Tian's eyelids suddenly twitched a few times. There was actually a flower pot in this secret room. Obviously, it meant to cultivate spiritual plants, and things that could be placed here must not be ordinary. Although he didn't know the use of this flower pot, since he was here, he couldn't miss it.
After putting away the flower pot, Yi Tian turned his gaze to the mural behind him. The person painted on the mural was the Li Huo Ancestor, and the one kneeling below should be Wan Zongming. However, no matter how much spirit force he poured into the mural, there was no reaction at all.
After looking around, Yi Tian thought about it. In terms of strength, Wan Zongming should not be much worse than his ancestor, Yun Zhongzheng. Even so, under the Li Huo Ancestor, there were still four disciples. Logically speaking, even if they couldn't maintain their original prestige, they shouldn't have fallen apart 2,000 years ago. Perhaps there was some inside story that he hadn't learned yet.
After collecting his thoughts, he looked at the other corners of the stone chamber and found a five-inch iron eight trigrams on the opposite side of the pill furnace. There was also a jade box next to it, but this jade box was sealed. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't find a way to open it.
After picking up the jade box, Yi Tian gently blew off the dust on it, revealing a bright golden inscription on its surface. Upon closer inspection, Yi Tian drew a cold gasp. However, he was in awe of the Li Fire Sect's artifact chamber's craftsmanship. The inscription on it was exactly the same as the one outside the chamber. It was like a miniature version of the chamber.
As such, the items contained within must be extremely important. With his previous experience, Yi Tian did not think too much about it. He took out his horsetail whisk and gently raised it to sweep the jade box.
When the Nan Ming Li Fire transformed into a white beam of light and opened it, Yi Tian found three jade scrolls. One of them had the words' Essentials of the Li Huo Pill Refining Technique 'written on it, while the other two looked like letters. Reaching out his hand, he picked up the 'Essentials of the Li Huo Pill Refining Technique' jade scroll and placed it on his forehead. After reading through it, his expression turned extremely interesting.
This jade scroll contained hundreds of pill formulas of various sizes. It ranged from the Qi Refinement realm to the Yuanying realm.
Alchemy had always been his weakness. Now that he had this legacy alchemy manual, as long as he studied it a little, he would definitely be able to make up for his shortcomings. He might even become an Elixir Monarch.
Shaoqing placed the alchemy manual back into the jade box and took out the two letters to carefully study them. The first letter's message was very different from what he previously understood. It was mainly about Wan Zongming berating Gu Hui for not being considerate towards his fellow sect members, insisting on taking over the Li Fire Sect. As for Yun Zhongzheng, his attitude was ambiguous. He repeatedly avoided the matter of taking over the position of Sect Master. Finally, he led his disciples to set up a branch sect far away from Dong Ao.
However, this letter seemed to be written by Wan Zongming to his eldest senior brother, Gu Hui. For some reason, it was not sent out.
Picking up the letter, Yi Tian quickly read through it and immediately felt an indescribable chill in the air pressing down on him. This letter recorded how Wan Zongming had sent the disciples of the Elixir Chamber out of the sect and ordered them to set up the Great Sun Glorious Sun Sect.
However, it was also mentioned that this Martial Granduncle was being a little cautious. He even mentioned that his own descendants were trapped in the Ascension Platform.
