As Long Chen walked forward, he found that the valley ahead began to become criss-crossed, like a maze.
The scariest thing is that the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the line of sight can no longer reach a hundred feet. It is too easy to get lost when traveling in such an environment.
Moreover, Long Chen discovered that as he advanced, fewer and fewer people could be seen, but their cultivation was getting higher and higher, and core-level disciples were basically invisible.
Long Chen even saw the figures of several supreme-level powerhouses in the distance, but those supreme-level powerhouses were not disciples of other courtyards. He glanced at Long Chen from a distance, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. It should be that Long Chen was surprised.
With his cultivation and courage, he dared to go deep into the valley even in the early stages of Yijin.
Obviously these people did not recognize Long Chen and were still searching forward cautiously.
When Long Chen saw those supreme powerhouses, they ignored him, did not provoke them, and continued to walk forward.
As Long Chen went deeper, the fog inside became thicker and thicker, and there were more and more valley openings. Going further inside, it was really difficult to identify the direction.
We have only entered the valley for less than 300 miles, and we are afraid to go deeper. If we get lost in it, it will be disastrous.
Disciples who enter the secret realm must arrive at a designated place and gather there before the secret realm is closed. Only there will they be transported to the outside world.
If you can't make it, you can only stay in the secret realm, and you can only have a chance to get out when the secret realm opens again a hundred years later.
However, since the discovery of the Jiuli Secret Realm, those strong men who could not leave the secret realm could not survive the next opening of the secret realm and disappeared into the secret realm. No one knows the specific reason.
Anyway, the experience of those seniors is that as long as you don't reach the meeting point within the specified time, you will definitely die.
"Nine Heart Grass"
When Long Chen was hesitating whether to go in, he suddenly found a strange grass growing on the rock wall of the valley in front of him.
The grass is eight inches long and has nine cores. It looks like a small flower, but it is completely green and not as bright as a flower should be.
Jiuxincao is the main ingredient in refining the fifth-level elixir, Jiuxin Tongmai Dan. The medicinal material itself is extremely precious.
Because after reaching the realm of channeling through cultivation, the Nine Hearts Channeling Pill becomes the treasure coveted by those who are strong in this realm.
It's a pity that Jiuxincao is too rare in the outside world. Even in branches, the quantity is extremely limited. Jiuxin Tongmai Pill is simply in short supply.
And there are actually more than a dozen plants in this clump of Nine Heart Grass. If those old guys in the Tongmai Realm see it, they will definitely go crazy.
"It's true as they said, there are countless precious herbs in the valley, but once you go in to collect them, you won't be able to get them out."
Before coming, Ling Yunzi was on the road and told everyone some taboos about the secret realm of Jiuli, including this place - the Misty Valley.
The Misty Valley is also called the Lost Soul Valley or the Broken Soul Valley. Ling Yunzi solemnly warned everyone that even if they want to collect precious medicines, they should do so in the outer areas.
Because in the outer areas, you can still see the mountains in the distance. Using the mountains as a reference, you can still get out.
But once you get inside, it's so foggy that you can't tell the difference between east, west, north, and south. Even if you get in, no matter how many precious medicines you pick, it's all in vain if you can't get out, and your life will be at risk.
Long Chen turned back and looked in the direction he came from. There was already a haze behind him, but with Long Chen's eyesight, he could still see the mountains in the distance that were no longer very clear.
“Just here”
Long Chen found a secluded place at the entrance of the valley, dug a small pit, took out a pill from the space ring, buried it in the pit, and filled it in to make sure no one could tell the difference.
After that, I felt relieved.
The elixir he buried was called the soul-inducing elixir. It was not for eating, but for marking.
As an extremely ancient profession, alchemy can be traced back to the era when the cultivation civilization originated, and its knowledge is extensive and profound.
The grade of elixirs is beyond human imagination, and the types are even more diverse. As for the effects, they are as numerous as the stars in the sky, innumerable.
Soul-inducing pills are a type of auxiliary pills. In addition to auxiliary pills, there are also defensive pills, attack pills, etc. It is said that the materials are good enough and the alchemist is strong enough. The refined pills can be transformed into human forms.
Fighting is amazing.
However, the elixir in Long Chen's hand is not that effective. It is just a special material that allows Long Chen to imprint his soul mark on it.
It is the elixir used to prevent getting lost. With this elixir, the alchemist can find the location of the elixir through induction.
In Long Chen's spare time, he refined a lot of these auxiliary elixirs. These are essential items for alchemists, and this time they were put to good use.
The soul-inducing pill refined by Long Chen has his own unique soul imprint, which only he can sense, so he is not afraid of other pill cultivators destroying it. It is for this reason that Long Chen dares to do this.
After checking it again and making sure that there were no flaws, Long Chen walked into the valley and came to the clump of Nine Heart Grass. He used a jade shovel to dig it out of the soil and carefully put it into the life ring.
In the life ring, they can be put into a state of stopping growth, but their vitality will be retained. Live medicinal materials are definitely more valuable than dead ones.
With these Nine Hearts Grass alone, you can exchange for a large amount of points. If Long Chen refines it into the Nine Hearts Tongmai Pill in the future, it will be a very amazing wealth.
"It's just like the legend says. Once you get inside, it's difficult to get out."
Long Chen looked back and found that there was a vast expanse of white behind him, and he could no longer see the valley entrance where he was standing just now.
This is the weird thing about the Misty Valley. Looking inside, you can see a distance of hundreds of feet, but looking out, you can't even see a distance beyond a foot.
There were smart people in the past who thought of a clever way and tied a rope at the entrance of the valley. This way, when you come out, you can follow the rope to find the way in.
But don't forget, the people here are both good and evil. If you leave a rope here, no matter who sees it, you will basically be exposed.
When you come out, there will definitely be a group of people outside, waiting to kill people and steal treasures, so this method won't work at all.
Long Chen walked to the place where the soul-inducing pill was buried before, and took a look at the blurry mountains in the distance. After confirming that his method had no problems, he wiped away the footprints he left on the ground.
After all, the Misty Valley has a reputation for evil, and Long Chen doesn't dare to be careless. He has become much more cautious since he was buried in an ancient tomb last time.
If the soul-inducing pill had failed just now, he could have followed the footprints he left to find his way back. Now that this method is proven to be feasible, Long Chen will naturally erase the marks to avoid being seen. He doesn't want to wait until he comes out.
Besieged by a large group of people.
Long Chen continued to move forward, and as he went deeper, he discovered that there were an alarming amount of precious medicines in the valley. Within a hundred feet of advancing, he unexpectedly found three clumps of Nine Heart Grass and four other precious medicines, all of which were extremely rare in the outside world.
s things.
This made Long Chen ecstatic. The alchemist's favorite thing was to deal with medicinal materials, and Long Chen was no exception, especially since he had the memory of the Alchemy Emperor in his mind.
Although the memory of this pill emperor is incomplete, the refining of this pill and the identification of herbs are very complete. Long Chen also picked some herbs that were not even owned by the outside world.
Long Chen had to be grateful to the guy who "gave" him a life ring during the assessment in another hospital. This guy helped him a lot.
Long Chen walked along the canyon. After traveling for dozens of miles, a fork appeared in front of him, leading to other canyons.
After burying another soul-inducing pill, Long Chen continued to move forward, until three days later, Long Chen's life ring already contained hundreds of precious medicinal plants.
You must know that these precious medicines are all high-level herbs, used to refine high-level elixirs, and their value is extremely terrifying. If they are refined into elixirs, it will be even more terrifying.
"boom"
Long Chen was collecting precious medicine when suddenly there was a muffled sound in his body, the surrounding air surged, and a majestic power rose from Long Chen's body.
"Breakthrough to the next level"
Long Chen couldn't help but feel happy. It had been several days since he was promoted to the Changing Tendon Realm. Long Chen did not practice specifically, but nourished his tendons with the Three Flowers Tongjin Pill.
To Long Chen's surprise, he found that his body's ability to absorb the medicinal properties was surprisingly powerful. He swallowed ten Sanhua Tongjin Pills in a row and was still able to fully absorb the medicinal properties.
What surprised Long Chen the most was that while absorbing the elixir, his body's muscles and veins were not only strengthened, but his cultivation also began to slowly grow.
Moreover, the cultivation level improved through the use of drugs is actually extremely solid, with no sign of loosening at all.
You must know that elixirs are just a part of auxiliary practice. Although they can quickly improve your cultivation and increase your practice speed exponentially, it is not the result of your own efforts. It will make your foundation unstable, your aura floating, and not solid enough. In the long run,
If it goes down, it will affect the road foundation, which is equivalent to destroying the seedlings and encouraging the growth.
Therefore, people rely on elixirs, but they dare not rely entirely on them. The strength improved by elixirs requires a lot of time to precipitate. If you want to precipitate quickly, you need to fight. The greater the intensity of the battle, the faster it will precipitate.
, especially life-and-death battles, are the best way to accumulate strength.
However, Long Chen found that his body did not have such worries. Could it be that the Nine-Star Hegemonic Body Technique itself is a medicine jar? Long Chen thought this way more than once.
After being promoted to the first level of Heavenly Queen, Long Chen felt the abundant power in his body and couldn't help but smile. He took out a handful of Sanhua Tongjin Pill from the space ring and swallowed it directly.
Since the body can fully absorb the effects of the medicine, Long Chen simply eats the medicine as food. This is also a test of the Nine-Star Hegemon Body Technique. He needs to unravel its mystery bit by bit.
After swallowing a large handful of Sanhua Tongjin Pill, Long Chen continued to move forward, and walked through several valley entrances, harvesting many precious medicines.
Suddenly, Long Chen saw a white skeleton lying on the ground in front of him, and his pupils shrank slightly.
