Chapter 130: Magic Medicine Lays Eggs
The short rest allowed several people to recover their strength.
But the few people who had recovered their energy began to fantasize about the ancient cave again.
The big black dog looked like he had been stabbed by someone, and said with regret: "If I'm not mistaken, there is a sacred object exclusive to the emperor in that ancient cave - Immortal Tears Green Gold."
"What?" Several others also exclaimed.
There are nine kinds of divine gold in the world, which are recognized as sacred objects for refining weapons and are known as the exclusive sacred objects of the Great Emperor. They are: Phoenix Blood Red Gold, Destiny Orange Gold, Dao Tribulation Gold, Immortal Tears Green Gold, Feathering Blue Gold, Eternal Blue Gold, Divine Mark Purple Gold, Dragon Pattern Black Gold, and Light White Gold.
Almost every one of them is a supreme sacred object that is hard to come by. Even the ancient emperors might not be able to collect them, let alone ordinary people.
Each one is a magical treasure that can be used to refine the ultimate imperial weapon.
Of course, these things are not the only ones that can be used to forge ultimate weapons. There are also other things that can be used to refine ultimate weapons, such as the root of the mother energy of all things, the void divine iron for forging the void mirror, the purple gold divine iron for forging the demon-subduing pestle, the immortal bronze for forging the immortal cauldron, etc., which are all supreme sacred objects that can be used to forge imperial weapons.
However, compared to the nine recognized divine golds, other divine materials seem to lack the mystery of immortal gold bestowed by heaven and earth.
Now, they have encountered a supreme holy object that even the emperors rarely encounter, and they cannot help but feel regretful.
"Nannan, you and the young Taoist priest have entered the ancient cave. Have you found any trace of the divine gold?" Tu Fei approached little Nannan and asked.
"Nannan and little brother went to help them move stones, and didn't find the magical gold." Little Nannan said sweetly.
"Moving stones?" Everyone was puzzled.
At this time, Ye Fan asked softly: "Nannan, what stones did you help those little creatures move?"
"A stone that blocked the spring." Little Nannan said seriously.
"Spring? What spring? Is there a magical spring in the cave besides the magical gold vein?" Li Heishui also asked.
At this time, Li Zhi, who had covered his eyes with a black silk scarf, slowly said: "Those ancient caves are indeed divine gold mines. Deep in the mine that Nannan and I went to, there is a special divine spring that can accelerate the spiritual connection of metals. As for the other mines, they should have bred different divine golds, but none of them can compare to the fairy tear green gold that has already been spiritualized just now."
The big black dog also spoke up, "What the little Taoist said is right. The Immortal Tears Green Gold in that cave has become spiritual and is about to become a supreme holy spirit. Unless a super expert comes, no one can do anything to it. We are not considered to have passed the immortal treasure."
"That's such a pity." Several people expressed regret.
Then, Pangbo asked Li Zhi, "Boss Li, what did you see just now? Why do we all feel sad?"
“That’s because everyone was influenced by the profound meaning of Immortal Tears Green Gold. Out of pity for the common people, the true immortals shed tears, which turned into nectar of life to save all living beings.” Li Zhi explained.
Li Heishui approached Li Zhi and asked curiously, "Little Taoist priest, you and Xiao Nannan have both been to the ancient cave. Did you dig up any divine gold in the cave?"
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "No. Those little golden creatures invited me and Nannan in as guests, so we naturally can't be thieves, but we did collect a lot of the holy spring water. Black boy, do you want some?"
"Yes, of course. I knew that you, young Taoist priest, are the most generous." Li Heishui said with a smile on his face.
"I collected quite a lot of them. Everyone can use jade bottles to put some in." Li Zhi then said to the others.
Looking at the golden divine spring water that Li Zhi took out, it seemed to be quite different from the divine spring water that Ye Fan gave them. Everyone was amazed. After tasting it, they even found that it seemed to have a little more body refining effect than the colorless divine spring water.
Li Zhi, Ye Fan, Hei Huang and Pang Bo, the four of them had excellent physiques and did not feel any obvious changes in their bodies.
But Li Heishui and Tu Fei were different. Their bodies were relatively weak. After taking a sip of the golden holy spring water, they immediately felt a slight change in their bodies.
After refining the golden holy spring water, Tu Fei said with satisfaction: "Even though I didn't get the holy gold, it's worth it to get some holy spring water that can be used to refine the body. Using the holy spring water to make enlightenment tea is a perfect match."
“It’s a pity that we couldn’t enter those ancient caves to take a look. Maybe there are other good things in the caves besides the spiritual fairy tear green gold.” Pang Bo on the side sighed.
"You are more like me than I am. Could it be that you have been influenced by me?" Seeing that everyone had forgotten the horror just now so quickly, the big black dog said without showing a greedy look.
"Actually, there was a chance, but unfortunately you forgot my previous advice." Li Zhi added, shaking his head slightly.
Everyone then remembered Li Zhi's previous warning: if you encounter any holy objects in the Immortal Mountain, never show greed, otherwise it will scare the holy objects and even bring disaster.
"Little Taoist priest, you will lead the way from now on. I will follow you."
The big black dog was the first to react. It seemed that in comparison, the benefits they gained were less than one-tenth of what Li Zhi gained.
The other people also nodded in agreement, indicating that they would definitely not act on their own on the road ahead.
At this time, while eating nuts, little Nannan said incoherently: "Little brother is the most delicious. He shared many delicious things with Nannan and gave Xiaoyanzi and the others a bag of golden beans to eat."
Ye Fan, holding his little girl, suddenly remembered his behavior when he went down to the tomb with Li Zhi. When Li Zhi took the bronze ware from the tomb, he seemed to have asked the tomb owner for permission.
It turned out later that the bronze artifacts they had taken with permission did not cause any trouble to his life.
Instead, it allowed him to achieve financial freedom directly.
It seems that Li Zhi has an extremely high talent in how to obtain treasures without being affected by cause and effect.
He only used a bag of golden beans to exchange for an unknown amount of holy spring water. His method is truly enviable.
Afterwards, Ye Fan used telepathy to teach Li Zhi the contents of the holy killing method of the killer dynasty - Heaven, which was recorded on the skin of the saint, as if to indicate that everyone who saw it would have a share in the harvest from the Immortal Mountain.
Li Zhi did not refuse and directly accepted the sacred killing method from the Killer Divine Dynasty.
After a quick read, Li Zhi thought to himself that killing is indeed a matter that requires skill and does not require a high level of cultivation, and it is of little help in attaining enlightenment.
Although Li Zhi will not practice them, they still have many merits as a reference to perfect his "Red Dust Tribulation" technique.
As a martial art for taking beatings, the more defensive one can get, the better, and the fewer loopholes one has, the better.
After resting for more than half an hour, everyone set off again.
Following the winding road, the group was getting closer and closer to the center of the Immortal Mountain. The black mountain in front of them was becoming more and more majestic, and one could even clearly sense the ancient aura flowing through the mountain. The compelling momentum that reached the nine heavens above and pressed down the nine underworlds below was even more heart-pounding.
The mountain is covered with lush old trees, all exuding the breath of time, but it is very quiet, with almost no sounds of insects or birds, and is filled with the smell of death.
Suddenly, an intoxicating fragrance wafted into everyone's mouth and nose, making them feel several years younger.
"This is the breath of the immortal elixir." The big black dog was the first to react and immediately looked towards the surrounding mountains and forests.
"Be quiet, don't move, and don't use your spiritual sense to find its location. Just wait and see what Li Zhi does." Ye Fan immediately used his spiritual sense to send a message to everyone.
The Immortal Elixir will run away when it is frightened. This was the experience Ye Fan gained when he tried to catch the Real Dragon Immortal Elixir in the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest.
Then, everyone focused their attention on Li Zhi.
Li Zhi also smelled the fragrance of the elixir of immortality, and his heart moved. He immediately thought of the Xuanwu elixir of immortality in the Immortal Mountain.
Then he said to little Nannan: "Nannan, can you see a little green turtle on the nearby mountain?"
Little Nannan quickly looked around the mountains and forests, pointed to a hillside on the left, and said, "There is a small green turtle basking in the sun in the grass."
Ye Fan and the others then turned their heads to look in the direction that Xiao Nannan pointed, and sure enough, they saw a leisurely little turtle basking in the sun.
"That is the legendary 'Long Live' elixir of immortality. Who would have thought it was actually in the Immortal Mountain." The big black dog almost drooled with greed, but still suppressed the greed in his heart, and did not make a sound, but spoke to everyone with his divine mind.
The "Long Live" immortality medicine, the mature plant is shaped like a small green black tortoise, with endless medicinal power. According to legend, eating a mature black tortoise can extend one's lifespan by 10,000 years. Among the many immortality medicines, this is the most effective medicine for prolonging life.
It has a stronger life-extending effect than the immortal peaches and ginseng fruit.
Although everyone was drooling, they did not act rashly. Instead, they waited for Li Zhi to make a move.
Then, Ye Fan asked Li Zhi: "Can we catch him?"
Li Zhi couldn't guarantee that he could catch the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir, so he asked Xiao Nannan: "Nannan, is there a golden dragon next to the little turtle?"
After looking for a long time, Xiao Nannan said, "The golden dragon only extends a section of the hillside, and it is still a long way from the little turtle that is isolated by the black light." Then, Li Zhi asked Ye Fan, "Ye Fan, use your Yuantian God Eye to see if there is a treasure land that can breed vitality at the end of the golden dragon that Nannan mentioned."
Ye Fan immediately used the Yuantian Divine Art to investigate, and sure enough, as Li Zhi guessed, at the end of the golden lines was a treasure land that could produce great medicines. However, there was not even a single spiritual medicine growing there.
Ye Fan told Li Zhi about his observations.
After Li Zhi pondered for a moment, he sent a message to everyone, "As I expected, the Void Emperor wants to use the fortune in the Immortal Mountain to cultivate the Emperor. This path first leads to the place where the ancient tea tree of enlightenment is located, then to the divine gold mine, then to the immortal medicine here, and then I'm afraid it will lead to the ancient temple that records various "Tao" and "Fa". Almost all the key cultivation resources a cultivator needs can be gathered in the Immortal Mountain."
After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, everyone was quite shocked.
I admired the methods of the ancient emperor even more.
Then Li Zhi continued, "The 'Long Live' immortality drug is not at the end of the road of life. It should have changed its root location in the last thousands or tens of thousands of years."
"Then how do we pick it?" Tu Feixun asked with his divine sense.
Li Zhi said, "Stay here and don't move. Xiao Nannan and I will go over there. Maybe we can catch it."
Afterwards, Li Zhi carried little Nannan on his back and came to the place at the end of the road where the "Wansui" elixir of immortality once took root.
After arriving at the abandoned treasure land, Li Zhi said to little Nannan: "Nannan, I will lie in the sand pit underground later. You call the little green turtle out to play with you in the sand."
Little Nannan asked curiously, "Will it listen to Nannan and come over by itself? Previously, a stone crocodile ran away after seeing Nannan."
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Nannan is so cute. As long as they are cute little creatures, they will get close to you. Have you forgotten those golden creatures we met before? They took the initiative to come close to you. That little turtle will also come to play with you."
Little Nannan said happily: "Okay then. Nannan will call it over to play with me later."
At the foot of the mountain, Ye Fan and others were also watching Li Zhi's actions. They all wanted to know how Li Zhi captured the immortal elixir in the desperate situation.
Li Zhi dug a hole in the ground, lay down in it, and then buried himself in a layer of mysterious silver sand.
Seeing this scene, Pang Bo asked Ye Fan: "Ye Zi, what is Boss Li going to do?"
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Keep watching and you will find out."
On the hillside, Li Zhi, who buried himself in a sand pit, also began his operation.
A special fragrance belonging to the human-shaped immortal elixir emanated from the mysterious sand and drifted towards the direction of the little green turtle.
The little girl standing on the sand shouted to the little green turtle, "Little turtle, come and play with me. The sand here is very soft."
The little green turtle in the distance seemed to have smelled the tempting fragrance and crawled towards the little girl.
It was like a real tortoise, climbing quickly in the mountains and forests, and no formation could stop its progress.
Soon, the little green turtle crawled in front of Xiao Nannan, and without any hesitation, took root in the pile of silver sand.
Then his roots began to greedily absorb the special life essence in the fine sand.
On the sand, little Nannan squatted in front of the little green turtle, teasing it constantly, touching its shell, and then taking out her snacks to share with the little green black tortoise.
The four people and one dog at the foot of the mountain were stunned by what they saw.
"We caught them already?" They all couldn't believe that this was real.
"Why doesn't Li Zhi do anything yet?" After watching for a long time, Li Zhi didn't make any move and just let the little girl play with the little green turtle.
Just when they were puzzled, Tu Fei suddenly said to everyone: "Look, the turtle laid eggs."
Sure enough, in the eyes of everyone, turtle eggs as big as quail eggs were "pulled" out by the little green black tortoise.
The crystal clear turtle eggs exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, and there were eight of them.
Moreover, as soon as the turtle eggs come out, they will be buried in the silver sand, which will directly block their fragrance from escaping.
After laying eight turtle eggs in a row, the little Xuanwu became listless.
Little Nannan looked at Little Xuanwu with some concern and said, "Little Turtle, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Li Zhi sent a message to little Nannan: "Nannan, it's tired from playing, you can coax it to sleep."
"Little turtle, be good and sleep well. Be good, turtle, sleep well." Little Nannan immediately did as she was told, and the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir made her fall into a deep sleep.
Then, Li Zhi put all the silver sand and the eight divine eggs under the Xuanwu Immortal Elixir into the Coffin of Life.
Then, he quickly walked down the hillside carrying his little girl on his back.
When he came down from the mountain, Ye Fan and his companions immediately surrounded him.
The big black dog asked in confusion, "Little Taoist priest, why didn't you take away the immortality medicine?"
Tu Fei also asked: "Little Taoist priest, why didn't you just pick the mature little black tortoise, but let it lay eggs? How did you make it lay eggs?"
"What do you mean by I made it lay eggs?" Li Zhi muttered in his heart, and then said, "Because I don't want to be hunted down by the beings in the Immortal Mountain because of the immortality medicine, and miss the great fortune that may come next."
The big black dog suddenly realized and said, "I understand. You are afraid of disturbing the immortal medicine and letting it run deep into the Immortal Mountain, thus letting the beings inside know that someone has sneaked into the Immortal Mountain. Little Taoist, you are really thoughtful."
Li Zhi nodded and said, "With our current cultivation, we are no different from ants in the eyes of those supreme beings. As long as we don't make a big noise, we won't alarm them. In addition, there are the Void Dao Patterns left by the Void Emperor to isolate the perception of the beings inside. As long as we don't destroy the structure here and alarm the creatures here, safety can be guaranteed with a high probability."
Ye Fan also asked curiously: "Li Zhi, how did you do it? You actually made the immortal medicine lay eggs?"
The others also stared at Li Zhi with curiosity, as if they all wanted to know the answer.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "Our sect's secret method."
In fact, it is a secret method of cultivating the elixir of immortality left by the Taoist priest Changshou, which records a secret technique of extracting the magic medicine elixir from the mature elixir of immortality.
It is effective for those immortality elixirs that grow into animal forms, such as the True Dragon Immortality Elixir, the Qilin Immortality Elixir, the Vermillion Bird Immortality Elixir, etc.
Afterwards, Li Zhi gave everyone a magical medicine egg from the Xuanwu Immortal Medicine.
Although the magic egg under the magic medicine of longevity cannot extend their lifespan by 10,000 years, it is more than enough to extend their lifespan by a thousand years.
If the magic medicine egg can be refined into a magic pill, it is estimated that it can prolong life even longer.
Even the little girl got one. The little girl was so happy that she wanted to eat the magic egg on the spot.
Fortunately, the big black dog was quick to stop her from eating it, saying that she should wait until they left the Immortal Mountain before eating it. He was afraid that after she ate the magic medicine egg, she would cause a big noise in the Immortal Mountain.
Afterwards, everyone continued on their journey, looking for the escape route left by the Void Emperor in the Immortal Mountain.
Sure enough, after walking for several miles, they saw four temples that were suspected to be left over from ancient times on several low black mountains in the distance.
This directly confirmed Li Zhi’s guess.
"Could that be the preaching temple specially left by Emperor Void?" Looking at the ancient temple on the mountain, Pangbo said in surprise.
"It can't be the temple left behind by the Void Emperor. The beings in the Immortal Mountain will not allow the Void Emperor to leave behind a missionary temple." The big black dog directly denied Pangbo's guess.
"Then how do you explain these temples?" Li Heishui asked.
Then everyone turned their attention to Li Zhi, wanting to hear his opinion.
