Chapter 331 - Medicine Beast

  The interior of the palace is extremely spacious, and there are traces of various prohibitions and spells everywhere, which shows how fierce the battles that the cultivators who first entered it had experienced.

  Lu Xuan was like a wisp of green smoke, running at high speed in the palace.

  After a while, he stopped at the door of a wide alchemy room.

  After scanning the inside with his spiritual sense and finding nothing unusual, he lightly entered the alchemy room.

  Before he was about to search the alchemy room carefully, suddenly, a gentle female cultivator followed him and broke in.

  Seeing Lu Xuan, she was stunned at first, and then her expression relaxed.

  "It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Lu."

  "Fellow Daoist Qi, what a coincidence, I met you in the palace."

  Lu Xuan had some impression of this gentle female cultivator. He had met her once at the auction organized by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce. She married another cultivator in the early stage of foundation building and lived a secluded life on a small island.

  According to Shi Zhong, the gentle female cultivator had very good attainments in alchemy.

  "Your husband and wife have always been inseparable, so why is Fellow Daoist Qi alone? Where is Fellow Daoist Zhang?"

  Lu Xuan's eyes were filled with a hint of vigilance. The two were good at joint attacks, and they had a deep relationship, so they rarely acted separately.

  "My husband has gone to other places in the palace. If Fellow Daoist Lu wants to see him, I can call him over."

  Wen Wan, a female cultivator, said with a smile. She and her husband had long lost contact when they passed through the strange stone formation, and after entering the palace, they were affected by various factors and acted separately.

  But she did not dare to show any fear in front of Lu Xuan, fearing that Lu Xuan would have bad intentions.

  "Hahaha, that's not necessary. This is not a good place to talk about friendship."

  Lu Xuan looked at the gray-white pupil in his hand very obscurely and smiled.

  "Fellow Daoist Lu, why don't we two be harmonious and search an area of ​​this alchemy room separately?"

  Wen Wan, a female cultivator, suggested.

  "Just do as Fellow Daoist Qi said."

  Lu Xuan was not a person who killed indiscriminately. Seeing Wen Wan's attitude, he naturally followed her advice.

  The two held magic tools and talismans in their hands, guarding against each other, and chose an area to search carefully.

  There was a faint smell of medicine in the alchemy room. In the middle area, there were more than ten alchemy furnaces, each of which was fixed with a restriction. Seeing that the quality was average, Lu Xuan gave up the idea of ​​breaking the restriction and taking away the alchemy furnace.

  On each side of the wall, there were tall wooden racks. There were still some spiritual medicines left on the wooden racks, but they had become very dry, and the medicinal properties inside had all been lost. They turned into various powders with a slight touch.

  "Did Daoist Lu find anything?"

  Wen Wan, a female cultivator, carefully searched the area that belonged to her, but did not find anything valuable. She came to Lu Xuan and asked.

  "No, just some dried herbs and some worthless alchemy furnaces."

  Lu Xuan replied indifferently.

  "It's the same over there."

  The female cultivator sighed lightly and went back to search carefully again.

  "Daoist Lu, I won't waste time here. Goodbye."

  Soon, she said to Lu Xuan from a distance and left the alchemy room directly.

  Lu Xuan nodded lightly, frowning and thinking.

  He always felt that something was wrong here.

  "There is nothing in the furnace. I have carefully checked the base, inner wall and other parts of the furnace. I didn't find any recipes. All the spiritual medicines on the medicine shelf have withered. So, where did the scent of medicine I smelled just now come from?"

  After being promoted to the foundation-building stage and his physical body being upgraded many times, Lu Xuan's five senses reached an extremely powerful state.

  He took a deep sniff and once again keenly sensed a faint scent of medicine in the alchemy room.   

  The smell of medicine was faint, and when Lu Xuan stepped out of the alchemy room, he could not detect it.

  "It seems that there must be something hidden in here."

  A layer of hazy substance appeared outside Lu Xuan's pupils. With the help of the Delusion-Breaking Pupil Technique, he found that there were several faint spiritual lights in the alchemy room.

  The spiritual lights floated and swam in the alchemy room without any rules. Even with Lu Xuan's current spiritual consciousness in the middle stage of foundation building, he could not normally spy on its existence.

  "However, it is not enough to just discover the spiritual lights. These spiritual lights are really ethereal and elusive. We must find a way to make them appear."

  Lu Xuan was thinking, and suddenly an idea came to him. He took out a second-grade Yunling Pill from the storage bag.

  "Since it is an alchemy room, then the pill may break the current situation."

  The spiritual power supported the Yunling Pill and floated in the air of the alchemy room.

  Under the Delusion-Breaking Pupil Technique, the spiritual lights gathered towards the pill with the Yunling Pill as the center.

  "It really works!" Lu Xuan was delighted.

  He focused his mind on the Yunling Pill, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

  [Medicine Beast, a fourth-grade exotic insect, larvae, almost invisible and colorless. It likes to eat the poison contained in the furnace and the elixir during the alchemy process. It can automatically clean and maintain the furnace, ensure the quality of the furnace, and slightly improve the quality of the elixir. ]

  [It's so delicious, it's worth it to come to this world! ]

  "Medicine Beast... So this is where it came from."

  Lu Xuan felt the idea of ​​the so-called medicine beast transmitted from the spiritual light, and couldn't help laughing.

  "It likes to devour the furnace, and the poison in the elixir can be called arsenic to others and honey to me."

  Medicines are three-point poisonous. Although elixirs have various magical effects such as improving, restoring spiritual power, and treating injuries, they contain mild poison. The lower the quality of the elixir, the more poison.

  The poison is hidden in the body of the cultivator. Over the years, it will have a negative impact on the cultivator's normal practice and breakthrough.

  The poison in the furnace is even worse.

  However, this Yaozhi can eat and remove the poison in the furnace and the elixir, maintain the furnace, and improve the quality of the elixir. It is the best assistant for the alchemist.

  "It is still in the larval stage. We can catch it and raise it."

  Lu Xuan was very interested in this Yaozhi larva.

  However, the problem in front of him was how to catch this Yaozhi larva.

  Although its position has been roughly determined, the Yaozhi itself is ethereal and invisible. If you are not careful, it is likely to alarm the opponent.

  Therefore, you must hit it with one shot and successfully capture it at one time.

  Lu Xuan took out a fourth-grade Xuanyin Pill from the storage bag and increased the power of bewitching.

  Xuanyin Pill comes from the light ball reward from the ghost-faced stone mushroom. It is a great tonic for ghost cultivators, Yin beasts, etc. The grade is two levels higher than the Yunling Pill, which is naturally more tempting to Yaozhi.

  Under Lu Xuan's Breaking Delusion Pupil Technique, he found that the spiritual light surrounding the Xuanyin Pill was slightly brighter.

  He quietly took out the white bone demon puppet and threw it towards the Xuanyin Pill in midair.

  "Go, white bone ball!"

  When the dense white bone ball approached the Xuanyin Pill, it suddenly turned into a giant net, catching the pill and the nearby medicine beasts.

  Before the medicine beasts could react, many of the net holes quickly formed a thin layer of bone membrane, making the entire white bone giant net airtight.

  Then, under the control of Lu Xuan's spiritual consciousness, the giant net continued to shrink, compressing the range of the medicine beasts' activities.
