Eternal Life Treasure Art.
These four words inexplicably attracted reverie.
Su Qingxue pursed her lips as she said in fascination, “Mr Jin, do you think the Everlasting Treasure Technique could be within this frigid city pool.”
Qin Li shook his head, “I don’t know! But what is certain is that this place was a branch altar of the Eternal Life Sect, which was later overthrown.”
Zhao Lingzhi also interjected, “So the albite pit was dug out by the Eternal Life Sect.”
The three of them had a lot of thoughts in their minds.
Suddenly!
A bright light flashed in the distance.
Because the three of them were standing extremely high, they easily spotted the anomaly.
“Go over and take a look, there might be something good!”Qin Li rose into the air, and the two women followed behind.
Soon!
The three of them sought out the bright light.
It turned out to be a plaque, hanging high above the Ice Hall, on which two silver-coloured tadpoles glowed, and from which the bright light came.
“Mr Jin, what are these words!”Su Qingxue vainly sought advice.
“Dan Room!”Qin Li replied.
Zhao Lingzhi rejoiced, “Surprisingly, it’s a Dan Room, if we can find a few Ancient Treasure Dan, we’ll be rich.”
Su Qingxue shook her head with a bitter smile, “The age is too far gone, the fifth-grade materials are all decayed, let alone pills!”
The three of them entered the Dan Room.
Qin Li summoned a flame that shone in all directions.
This place was originally a palace piled with ice crystals, and once the firelight shone on it, it reflected colourful and magnificent colours in a beautiful manner.
The reliefs on the walls also brightened up, revealing a beautiful mural, which depicted hundreds of naive children, fat and innocent, some playing in the water to catch fish, some frolicking and playing, some jumping. There was also a group of pregnant women at the back, with kind brows and serene demeanour, holding a big belly, and a round wheel of light at the back of their head, as if they were the Holy Mother.
“This relief mural is so evocative!”Zhao Lingzhi marvelled.
Su Qingxue was also very surprised, “I can’t imagine that the aesthetics of the Eternal Life Sect is so peculiar that it even has a child pregnant woman as the protagonist.”
Qin Li explained, “The Eternal Life Sect believes that in order to live forever, one needs to have a heart free of distractions and return to their roots. Like a child with a bare heart, like a foetus with an innate immaculate nature, like a pregnant woman with a spiritual heart. This directly shapes their aesthetics.”
Upon hearing this, Su Qingxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with colour, “Mr Jin, you are so knowledgeable, even the elders of the Earth Flame Sect are not as open-minded as you are.”
Qin Li smiled, “This is something I read from an ancient book, it’s not considered erudite.”
This ancient book was the Husbandman’s Handbook, which explained in detail the known seven great Immortal Kings above, dissecting their Dao separately as a form of reference.
“There’s more than one floor of the Dan Room, let’s go down and take a look!”Zhao Lingzhi said with gusto.
The three of them went down to the basement.
It was as cold as a thousand-year ice cave, and the Immortal Lords were somewhat unable to carry it.
There were quite a few corpses on the floor, all frozen. Moreover, there were many white porcelain tile cylinders placed in the corners, sealed to death by the cold ice.
There were two shapes of white porcelain tanks, a large and a small one, the small one depicted pictures of children playing, and the large one depicted pictures of pregnant women smiling.
“Among the porcelain cylinder, could there be an ancient elixir!”
Zhao Lingzhi’s heart rejoiced as she hurriedly rushed over and used her sword weapon to pry open a small porcelain jar.
She probed and looked inside, her face instantly turned white and her legs trembled, “Why, why is there a baby’s corpse in the porcelain cylinder.”
Suspicious, Su Qingxue took a few steps forward and used her sword weapon to pry open a large porcelain vat, and was so scared that she lost her face, “It’s too horrible, inside is the corpse of a pregnant woman!”
“Ai!”
Qin Li sighed, “Sins!”
Su Qingxue’s lips trembled slightly as she cringed, “Mr Jin, what the hell is going on.”
Qin Li explained, “The Eternal Life Sect, don’t look at the name, but it’s actually a cult. The Eternal Spring Master is also a complete human demon!”
“He discovered the existence of innate air within infants, which not only increases cultivation, but also prolongs life and even returns old age to children. Therefore he pioneered the method of alchemy for living infants, brutally killing children, breaking their bellies to extract the foetus, devouring human blood, and all sorts of evils sinking to earth.”
“Thus the era of the Eternal Spring Reality, alias the Dark Age. It wasn’t until the rise of the Yuan Dan Immortal, the Five Weapons Immortal, that this evil was ended, and everything in the Everlasting Sect was destroyed.”
“And I guess that this Ice City might be the ‘Sheep Pen’, specialising in raising ‘two-legged sheep’, which was later attacked by the Twin Immortals and sunk into the ground, with all of its members perishing.”
Said the secret history!
Su Qingxue’s face was ugly and scary.
Zhao Lingzhi remembered the scene she had just seen, her stomach churned and she almost vomited.
“This Ice City, it’s not a True Immortal residence at all, but a hell.”Su Qingxue was indignant in her heart, unable to imagine the darkness of that era at all.
“It’s all in the past, history will bury everything.”Qin Li struck out a flame, shattering all the large and small porcelain cylinders, incinerating all traces of them, and ultimately, dust to dust to earth.
“Let’s go down! There seems to be another layer underground.”
The three of them went down another layer.
It was obviously much wider here, and the temperature dropped once more.
There were dozens of third and fourth grade dan furnaces placed around, and the tallest one, which should be sixth grade, was worth more than one could imagine.
Unfortunately, time wore away all spirituality, and these heavy treasures all turned into scrap metal.
“Pity!”
Qin Li couldn’t help but be heartbroken.
He desperately wanted to exchange it for a high-grade Dan Furnace, after all, the second-grade white iron furnace was really not smooth. And here was a field of Dan furnaces, all of which were scrap, causing him heartache.
“These Dan Furnaces are all ruined, I don’t know which Sixth Grade Dan Furnace will be able to withstand the ravages of age.”Qin Li muttered.
The three of them approached the Sixth Grade Dan Furnace.
The Dan Furnace was very tall, taking the shape of a gourd, and had consumed an unknown amount of precious materials, but unfortunately, the years were merciless, and it had already rusted and lost its essence, and was not even comparable to a first-grade Dan Furnace.
“Ai!”Qin Li shook his head in disappointment.
Suddenly!
He discovers that before the Sixth Grade Dan Furnace, there sits a white-robed cultivator, presumably an alchemist, with a Zhanzhan jade pendant hanging from his waist, and in his hand, he is also cupping a blue jade slip, which is flickering with spiritual light.
“These two things have not yet decayed!”
The three people’s spirits were shaken, and they hurriedly split the ice.
Ka-ching.
The ice layer shattered open.
The white-robed cultivator instantly weathered and shattered, leaving only the jade pendant and jade slip behind, glittering.
Zhao Lingzhi was quick on her feet and snatched the jade slip ahead of her, saying, “Let’s distribute it fairly, the jade pendant belongs to you, and the jade slip belongs to Miss and I.”
Su Qingxue frowned, “Lingzhi, you will chill Mr Jin’s heart with this.”
Zhao Lingzhi bristled, “Miss, this may contain the Everlasting Life Treasure Technique, how can I give it away!”
Qin Li smiled without saying anything.
How could the Eternal Life Treasure Art be obtained casually.
With a lift of his hand, he grasped the jade pendant in his hand and felt a coolness travelling throughout his body, dispelling anger, suppressing his heart’s demons, and regulating his blood qi.
“Could this be ……”
Qin Li was pleasantly surprised in his heart, the jade pendant was most likely a ninth grade material, the Frozen Heart Jade, when worn on the body, it was capable of suppressing the fire from going off, it was a top tier treasure, it was no wonder that it was able to resist the ravages of time.
At this time!
Zhao Lingzhi looked at the jade slip and said with disappointment, ”This isn’t a longevity treasure technique, but an eighth grade Dan formula, the Million Dan. It actually requires slaughtering a million people to gather blood qi.”
Su Qingxue was alarmed, “This is an absolute demonic Dan, leaving it out will cause chaos in the world, let’s quickly destroy the Dan formula.”
“Wait!”
Qin Li hurriedly stopped, “Eighth grade Dan formulas are rare in the world, don’t waste it, why don’t you sell it to me, I’m willing to offer a fourth grade Dan.”
Zhao Lingzhi was shocked and doubtful, “You would actually have a Fourth Grade Dan, that said, what are you going to do with this kind of demonic Dan formula, is it possible that you want to kill people to make a Dan.”
Qin Li explained, “You can rest assured of that, most of the ancient medicinal herbs are extinct nowadays, it’s impossible for me to refine a million dans. Moreover, I am a Sixth Grade Alchemist, and this Dan formula will greatly benefit me.”
“What, sixth grade alchemist!”
Zhao Lingzhi was first shocked, and then laughed with her belly, “You can really brag, alchemists are rare, the third grade is a generation of masters, the fourth grade is prominent on one side, the fifth grade is famous in the four domains, the sixth grade is already a legend, and the seventh grade is even the limit of the Dan Dao. On your shabby appearance, you also dare to call yourself a Sixth Grade, and are not afraid to laugh your head off.”
Qin Li shook his head, this kind of thing did not make sense.
“Mr Jin, if you like it, take this Dan formula over, we don’t use it anyway.”Su Qingxue was understanding and handed over the Dan formula.
Zhao Lingzhi was anxious and wanted to snatch the Dan formula, but Su Qingxue glared at her, and she instantly caved in, unable to lose her temper.
“Many thanks!”
Qin Li received the jade slip and threw out a jade bottle.
Su Qingxue took it and looked at it, it was really a Fourth Grade Dan, could it be that Mr Jin was a Sixth Grade Alchemist.
Qin Li carefully flipped through the jade slip, his heart somewhat disappointed. Million Dan this was only an imaginary eighth grade Dan, although it had many reference values, it was ultimately not an eighth grade, at best it was a super seventh grade. It seemed that only Yuan Dan Immortals, in the world, had eighth product dans.
Suddenly!
“Ah–”
A miserable scream rang out from outside.
