Chapter 195: Ancient Elixirs
In ancient times, as the number of cultivators in the Tianyuan Continent gradually increased, the resources in the world of cultivation gradually became scarce, and often a spiritual herb was picked before it was ripe.
In order to leave resources for cultivation for future generations, the ancient sages sealed countless secret realms and kept the resources in the secret realms. The Canglan Secret Realm is one of them.
In the past few thousand years, with the continuous emergence of secret realms, the monks in the originally impoverished Beichen Continent have once again seen hope for cultivation.
Several hundred years ago, a secret place suddenly appeared in southern Xinjiang. It contained not only a large number of medicinal pills, but also some unknown energy crystals.
At first, the leaders of the seven major sects believed that these energy crystals containing powerful spiritual energy were immortal crystals. Later, after many verifications, they found that the cultivators were unable to absorb the spiritual energy inside, and finally they could only give up.
Later, this energy crystal was used by the seventh-grade divine formation master, An Lushan, as a source of energy in the formation signal tower for exploring the endless forest.
A large number of the pills inside had lost their efficacy due to their age and turned into black pills. It was impossible to tell what kind of pills they were.
There are many lost god-level elixirs among them. In order to find out the composition of these elixirs, the leaders of the seven major sects decided to send these elixirs to Dan City.
He hoped to use the power of Dan City to analyze the ingredients in these pills so that they could be restored. His only request was that Dan City could share the pill recipes with the seven major sects.
Over the years, Dan City has lived up to everyone's expectations. Many new pill recipes and elixirs have come out, bringing endless benefits to the cultivators of Beichen Continent.
As the chief referee, Liang Chaobei took out a pill left over from ancient times and cut it into two small pieces when asking the questions, which would serve as the content of the third round of the competition.
Liang Chaobei did not expect them to be able to analyze all the ingredients, let alone refine the elixir. After all, this kind of question was extremely difficult.
Take the elixir he provided this time for example. It took Dancheng several years to research and develop this elixir.
When the butler announced the content of the third game, everyone present was amazed at its difficulty.
Dongfang Yuanhua frowned when he heard this, and held the small piece of pill carefully. It did not have any medicinal properties at all. If people did not know in advance that this was a broken pill, anyone who saw it would think it was a piece of dirt.
Dongfang Yuanhua broke off a small piece, rubbed it back and forth between his index finger and thumb, and then put it to the tip of his nose to smell it. A faint smell of urine came, and black lines appeared on Dongfang Yuanhua's forehead.
He thought he had made a wrong judgment, so he smelled it again, and it was still a smell of urine. Dongfang Yuanhua subconsciously glanced at Liang Chaobei on the podium, wondering if he had taken the wrong thing, and then looked at Lu Chen opposite him.
When Lu Chen heard the question, his heart was filled with joy. This was simply a question tailor-made for him. With the powerful analytical function of the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, not only could it analyze the ingredients of the elixir, Lu Chen could even come up with the elixir formula.
But Lu Chen still pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Dongfang Yuanhua opposite him. The two of them happened to look at each other, and Lu Chen smiled politely at Dongfang Yuanhua.
Dongfang Yuanhua felt a little better when he saw that Lu Chen was also at a loss. He then lowered his head and began to study the elixir again.
"Hehehe...Mr. Liang! Aren't the questions in the third round too difficult? Moreover, the time is short, and you see they have no clue at all." Yin Cang bowed and smiled at Liang Chaobei.
“Hehehe… It’s a bit difficult, and I don’t have much hope for them, but it’s not without clues. As long as they think about it carefully, they will be able to analyze some of the spiritual herbs.” Liang Chaobei shook his head and smiled.
At this time, Lu Chen had already secretly practiced the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue. He took the pill in his hand, looked at it back and forth pretentiously, and then crushed the entire incomplete pill into powder. A faint smell of urine wafted out.
The ingredients and refining method of this incomplete pill in his mind have been deduced. As long as he finds the corresponding spiritual herbs, Lu Chen can refine this pill.
This pill is called the Nirvana Pill, and its function is to repair the damaged Dantian. For example, if some cultivators' Dantian is destroyed or broken during a battle, they can take the Nirvana Pill.
There are almost no such pills on the market at present, and even if there are, they can only repair minor damage to the Dantian.
If the Dantian is destroyed, there is no elixir that can completely repair it. At least with Lu Chen's current knowledge, he has never heard of it.
The Nirvana Pill requires more than thirty kinds of spiritual herbs to be refined, one of which is called Panniu Root. The smell of this spiritual herb is a bit unique, similar to the smell of urine.
So after Lu Chen crushed the pill, there would be a faint smell of urine.
Then Lu Chen picked up the jade slip and began to write the necessary spiritual herbs. However, when Lu Chen wrote the fifth spiritual herb,
But suddenly he stopped, and the younger generation broke out in a cold sweat.
Because every time I write down the name of a spiritual herb, I will have an inexplicable sense of crisis in my heart. This feeling is hard to explain, but it is real.
Lu Chen knew that he had been practicing the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue for a long time, and he instinctively developed a certain perception of dangerous things.
After thinking about it, Lu Chen thought of a serious problem. The housekeeper said that this pill came from a cultivation cave in ancient times. It has been countless years since ancient times.
How could a spiritual medicine master like me restore this incomplete pill in such a short time? I can't say that I was just lucky! It would definitely arouse Liang Chaobei's suspicion.
In order to verify his guess, Lu Chen wrote down the names of more than a dozen spiritual herbs in succession. The sense of crisis in his heart was so strong that it brought him a sense of pressure, and sweat had soaked his clothes.
Lu Chen quickly erased the name of the spiritual herb in the jade slip, and the sense of crisis in his heart gradually subsided.
It was not until only three kinds of spiritual herbs were left, Purple Heart Lotus, Blood Sunflower Essence, and Panniu Root, that the sense of crisis in the center disappeared completely.
Lu Chen couldn't care less about so many things. Even if he lost the game, what would happen? He would not joke with his own life.
Dongfang Yuanhua also put down the jade slip in his hand, because he had tried his best and he thought that the other party was not much better.
Liang Chaobei was not surprised that both of them handed in their papers early. On the contrary, he thought that this was normal. Otherwise, how could it demonstrate his high level?
"Who do you think will win in the end?" Qi Yutang asked.
"It's hard to say, but I feel that Dongfang Yuanhua has a greater chance of winning. After all, his alchemy method is more orthodox," Zhao Chengzhi said lightly after thinking for a while.
"That's not necessarily true. I feel that the alchemist named Lu Xiaoyao is very extraordinary. I guess he will be the winner in the end." Yang Yunfei expressed his opinion.
Then Zhao Chengzhi and Yang Yunfei made a bet that whoever lost would treat the other to a meal.
Such speculation and betting also occurred among other monks, and everyone was looking forward to the final result...
