It wasn't until Feng Chen had left the waterfall for dozens of kilometers that he stopped. He looked back and found that the golden ape had not caught up with him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
That golden ape is definitely a second-level monster!
Feng Chen did not expect that he would be so lucky that he would encounter a second-level monster on the outskirts of the Shenwu Mountains. Unless he broke through to the warrior realm, it would be difficult to compete with the opponent.
However, Feng Chen did not forget that place. He recalled that place in his mind. Judging from the traces, a group of warriors must have discovered it, but I am afraid that it was because of that golden ape that all of them died tragically.
"If I guessed correctly, are those iron-armed apes guarding some kind of genius treasure?" Many strange thoughts flashed through Feng Chen's mind, but he did not turn back in the end.
Before he was absolutely sure, Feng Chen would not take risks with his own life. After all, this was the Shenwu Mountain Range. If he was not careful, he could lose his life every minute.
However, Feng Chen was overjoyed to have harvested three serum flowers, because next he would start looking for medicinal materials to refine the elixir.
Feng Chen looked at the many first-level elixir prescriptions in the Xuanhuang Pharmacopoeia. There were many types, and finally chose the first-level elixir such as solid elixir.
Solid elixir, as the name suggests, strengthens the physical body and expands the meridians.
This kind of elixir is most suitable for Feng Chen at present. He wants to lay a solid foundation step by step and is not in a hurry for success.
"One petal of the Serum Flower, one Ningshen Grass, three Heavenly Star Grasses, and one first-order monster crystal."
Feng Chen closed his eyes slightly, and the list of medicinal materials needed for the solid pill flashed in his mind.
Now, the Serum Flower and the Demonic Crystal have been obtained, which means that Feng Chen still needs to collect Ningshen Grass and Tianxing Grass before he can start making elixirs.
After taking a slight look at the sky, half a day had passed, and Feng Chen decided to start looking for these two medicinal materials in the surrounding area.
Ningshen grass and star grass are not uncommon, so Feng Chen quickly found the medicinal materials he needed, Ningshen grass and star grass.
Among them, while searching for the Sky Star Grass, a first-order demonic beast called the Iron-clawed Wolf was alarmed. This beast was extremely fast and its claws were as if they were made of iron. Feng Chen barely managed to contend with it by relying on his leopard-shaped steps. It took a lot of effort.
It took Kung Fu to kill it, but this time the Iron Claw Wolf did not leave any demon crystal behind.
With an expression of regret, Feng Chen quickly left the scene of the battle and found a natural cave a few miles away.
Obviously there are traces of people living here, but it seems that at least no one has been here recently, and Feng Chen feels at ease to live here.
After half a day of tossing, the sky had darkened slightly, and Feng Chen had set up two strong fires in the cave.
The sky finally dimmed, night fell, and the roars of monsters kept coming from the Shenwu Mountains. At this time, there were very few warriors fighting against the monsters. They were all looking for a place like Feng Chen.
A safe place to spend the night.
Listening to the constant roars of beasts coming from outside, Feng Chen was roasting wolf meat in front of the fire. For someone like him who grew up hunting in the mountains, this was nothing to worry about.
Half an hour later, a fragrant aroma filled the entire cave. Feng Chen looked at the roasted golden wolf legs, smiled, and started eating.
Although Feng Chen was young, he still ate quite a lot. He actually ate up a wolf leg in three to five minutes. After eating, he even licked the corner of his mouth with unfulfilled interest.
"Hehe, I haven't grilled meat in several years." Feng Chen grinned. He had been in the Shenwuzong in the past few years and had no chance to go out hunting.
After eating a full stomach, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for a while. Feng Chen also adjusted his condition to the best, because next, he would refine medicine for the first time.
After a moment, Feng Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and the aura in his body was majestic. He clenched his fists, as if his whole body had inexhaustible power.
Feng Chen glanced slightly outside the cave. Outside, he had more than dozens of simple mechanisms. Although they were not lethal, they could quickly act as a warning once someone approached.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Chen escaped from his arms with the petals of the Serum Flower, the Ningshen Grass, the Sky Star Grass, and the first-order demon crystal.
"The next step is to summon the Nebula Cauldron." Feng Chen muttered, and he thought in his mind that since the Xuanhuang Pharmacopoeia came from the Nebula Cauldron, then the Nebula Cauldron should also be used to refine the medicine.
As his heart moved, the Nebula Cauldron in his mind also trembled slightly. Immediately, Feng Chen's whole body trembled, and a tiny beam of light was projected from between his eyebrows.
The light beam dispersed, revealing a small and simple three-legged tripod. It was the Nebula Cauldron!
Looking at the Nebula Cauldron that appeared in front of him, Feng Chen opened his mouth slightly. He didn't expect to actually use the Nebula Cauldron. However, the next moment, he was worried, why did the Nebula Cauldron become smaller?
However, when he had just thought this, the Xingyun Cauldron transformed into a three-legged cauldron that was about half a person tall!
This was exactly the same as when I first saw the Nebula Cauldron!
"Amazing...."
Feng Chen's heart was filled with shock at this time. He didn't know what words to use to express the shock in his heart. He stared blankly at the simple and elegant Nebula Cauldron in front of him.
This time, he had the opportunity to really see the Nebula Cauldron up close. The three-legged cauldron was an icy black color, like it was made of cold iron, with countless stars imprinted on the clouds, which was very mysterious.
"Xingyun Cauldron..."
Feng Chen gently touched the three characters engraved on Ding's body with his palm. The cold feeling on his tentacles let him know that he was not dreaming.
Although he doesn't know what the Nebula Cauldron is, he knows that everything about him has changed because of the Nebula Cauldron!
After taking a few deep breaths, Feng Chen's expression gradually became calm. The process of refining the medicine requires full attention. Any small mistake will lead to the failure of the medicine refining. This is what Haoyue once said.
With a thought, the lid of the Nebula Cauldron opened automatically. Feng Chen put all the Serum Flowers, Sky Star Grass, and Ningshen Grass in at once, but the Demon Crystal was not put in at the same time.
The most important thing in refining solid elixirs is the demon crystal, because the demon crystal contains the essence of demon beasts and has pure energy. This energy cannot be absorbed directly. Only the essence can be refined and then combined with many medicinal materials.
It is condensed into a medicinal liquid and finally becomes a pill.
Each step of this process requires a lot of effort. Therefore, for a novice like Feng Chen, whether he can succeed in refining medicine for the first time is still unknown.
