Chapter 210 Treasure House Space
At this moment, all the cultivators present held their breath and stared intently at the golden copper gate with a gap exposed.
Lu Changan stood behind the crowd, and faintly smelled a hint of stale medicinal herbs.
"Could it be a warehouse for storing medicinal herbs and elixirs?"
Renren Hu's beard trembled slightly, and his eyes were bright.
The six gates of this palace probably correspond to six categories of storage treasures.
If the first one to crack is the pharmacy secret vault, then luck is good.
"Little friend Lu, please send out the puppets to try."
Hu Zhenren and Tan Zhenren exchanged briefly, suppressing the excitement and urgency in their hearts.
The more critical the moment is, the less anxious it is.
"Lu's detection puppets have been used up, and the puppets used later are more valuable. These losses..."
Lu Changan hesitated.
"Don't worry! Zhenren Tan and I will fully compensate you for the puppets that were lost in the secret realm. Enter the treasure house of the pharmacy later, and you can choose one more."
Renren Hu readily assured.
“Hope real people keep their promises.”
Lu Changan nodded, took out a heavy armored puppet in the late stage of the second order, and manipulated it to come to the golden bronze gate.
The heavy-armored puppet slowly pushed open the gold-bronze door with his palm, and then stepped in.
His figure was quickly engulfed by the night pearl-like indoor light.
The material and formation of the hexagonal palace itself have the effect of isolating the consciousness.
It is a real person, and it cannot be found outside.
"It is indeed a drug storehouse."
As a puppet master, Lu Changan has a connection with the puppet and can receive some basic information feedback.
Not long after, the heavy armored puppet went back and forth, and took back an empty medicine basket.
"good."
Renren Tan was overjoyed, his figure turned into an afterimage, and quickly flew into the treasure house.
"Tan Zhenren!"
Renren Hu's complexion changed. He originally planned to let a foundation cultivator go in to have a look, but he didn't expect Zhenren Tan to rush in first.
Tan Zhenzhen is the strongest, if he is allowed to get the most important opportunity first, he will be passive.
After Tan Zhenzhen went in, the restriction was not triggered.
Seeing this, Master Hu also stepped into the medicine storehouse.
Miss Wei with long hair and gauze skirt followed closely behind.
The young man with a high nose at the peak of foundation establishment and the sixtieth old man in the middle of foundation establishment stood outside the door without going in.
The two are always paying attention to Lu Changan and Shi Xianzi.
Since entering the ruins, the two real people did not allow Lu Changan and Shi Manrong to act alone.
After all, there are still some unexplored dangerous areas in the ruins. If the two are allowed to move, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause uncontrollable variables.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, won't you go in and have a look?"
Shi Manrong was a little moved, and found that Lu Changan was standing still, with a lazy expression on his face.
"No rush, it's useless to rush."
Lu Changan smiled.
Fairy Shi was thoughtful. If you don't have enough strength, even if you get the rare rare medicine first, it will be difficult to keep it.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the formation door opened this time is completely different from the one that Immortal Qi temporarily broke open back then."
While the two real people were searching the medicine storehouse, Shi Manrong spoke via voice transmission.
"Oh, you mean, the gates that were broken that year were not among these six?"
"Yes! Daoist Qi discovered this ruin earlier. He had been exploring for a period of time before he became a concubine. He may have key information that we don't know."
Shi Manrong nodded and said.
The two only exchanged briefly.
Lu Changan let the wind outside, and let the rock mouse follow Shi Manrong into the treasure house.
The ground rock mouse has a more sensitive sense of smell. Through the contract with its spiritual pet, Lu Changan learned the general situation in the medicine storehouse.
The space inside the drug store is larger than estimated from the outside.
It is divided into several areas, displaying hundreds of medicine cabinets, superimposed from the ground up, extending tens of feet high.
However, more than 90% of the medicine cabinets are empty.
The two real people and Miss Wei who entered first found some medicinal materials and bottles and jars containing pills and medicines.
However, most of the medicinal materials have withered and decayed.
A small number of medicinal materials and elixir are relatively well preserved under the influence of prohibition, but their medicinal properties have been greatly lost.
"Building Foundation Pill? It's a pity that most of its medicinal properties have been lost."
Miss Wei held a jade bottle, poured out the dull medicine inside, and shook her head regretfully.
In this medicine storehouse, Tier 2 pills are relatively common.
Occasionally, you can see third-order pills and medicinal materials.
Lu Changan had long been mentally prepared for this situation.
This ancient ruin, as a refuge or a spare treasure house, should have been abandoned very early and forgotten over the long years.
Before the evacuation, most of the precious treasures that were easy to carry here were taken away by the owner.
Even if there are treasures that are kept secretly, they should be hidden in the dark, not in such a conspicuous warehouse, and be conquered by a third-order array mage with fake alchemy.
…
After half a day of exploration.
The disappointment on the faces of the two real people became more and more obvious.
Not without gains.
Some medicinal materials and elixirs obtained in the medicine storehouse, even counting the loss of medicinal properties, are a rare fortune, and it is easy to sell tens of thousands of spirit stones.
The huge drug storehouse has only been explored less than half.
However, this is far from the psychological expectations of the two real people.
What they want is an opportunity for fake Dan to go further.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are heaven and earth spirits that allow the fake pills to disappear smoothly, and even rare pills that are artificially refined.
This is extremely rare in today's world of cultivating immortals. In earlier times, it was relatively easy to obtain.
Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for this abandoned drug storehouse to have such precious things.
"Thieves! Leave the demon pill for this real person!"
Suddenly, a shout like spring thunder came from the treasure house.
Squeak!
The rock rat flew out in a panic, holding a dark purple oval sphere in its mouth, about the size of an adult's fist.
"Third-order demon pill?"
Looking at Lu Changan's spiritual sense, he saw the origin of this thing.
Due to the dusty demon core, the specific origin and quality cannot be seen for the time being.
The inner alchemy of monsters can often be used as a material for alchemy, and it is normal to appear in the medicine storehouse of ancient ruins.
"Little friend Lu, ask your spiritual pet to hand over the third-order demon pill."
Tan Zhenren chased him out with a bad tone.
The rock rat handed the demon pill to Lu Changan, and hid behind its master fearfully.
Lu Changan held the demon pill, and preliminary identification showed that it should be left by a great demon in the middle and late stages of the third rank.
It's a pity that the demon power has been seriously lost, and it is not an earth attribute.
"Xiaoyou Lu, this is not something you should take."
Renren Hu also came out of the treasure house, perhaps not meeting expectations, with a gloomy complexion and a dissatisfied tone.
"If Lu remembers correctly, Master Hu promised just now that he will make up for the loss of the next puppet. After entering the drug store, he can also choose one more item."
Lu Changan held the demon pill and spoke slowly.
Really Hu's expression froze, and he explained: "That's two different things! When the ruins are explored to a certain extent, we will settle the compensation together."
"Why doesn't Lu choose this thing?"
"The value of the third-order demon pill, of course, cannot be simply equal to a share."
Renren Hu chuckled and said, "How about this, you and Zhenren Tan will both have a share of this demon pill, and I will keep it for now."
"also."
Lu Changan thought for a while, and threw the demon pill to Master Hu.
The two real people are in a very bad mood right now. If they fall out at this moment, they will have to fight in advance, which is not conducive to his plan.
Renren Hu took the demon pill and probed with his spiritual sense, showing a touch of joy.
Blood and high-quality demon pills are strategic resources in the world of cultivating immortals. They can be traded with real pill monks and sect forces for rare spiritual items that can help transform pills.
Squeak!
The rock mouse rubbed against Lu Changan's clothes, seeming aggrieved.
Lu Changan touched its head, and cast a comforting look.
Actually, because the attributes of this demon pill do not match, it is not particularly helpful to the rock rat.
It just expresses its dissatisfaction with the loss of its achievements.
"Little friend Lu, you can go to the medicine storehouse and choose an item by yourself."
Hu Zhenren put away the demon pill and said generously.
Lu Changan did not refuse, and went to the medicine store together with the rock rat.
At this time, the drug storehouse has only been inspected for two-thirds.
Lu Changan's spiritual sense, experience, and even the sense of smell of ground rock rats have advantages that outsiders do not know about obtaining high-value items.
Lu Changan found a black medicine jar on the top floor of the medicine storehouse. After a little identification, he put it into the storage bag without making a fuss.
The two real people noticed this scene and didn't care much.
In this medicine library, all pills and medicines have lost their medicinal properties.
The black medicine jar that Lu Changan obtained, even if it is a rare third-level medicine, its value will not be very high.
…
After a whole day, the medicine storehouse was explored.
Although it did not meet expectations, the value of the harvest was considerable, and the faces of the two real people eased.
Lu Changan winked at Fairy Shi.
Shi Manrong understood, and took the initiative to communicate with Master Hu about the next step of breaking the formation.
"You mean, there may be a hidden gate in this palace?"
Renren Hu raised his head and looked at the top of the hexagonal palace. There was a pair of halos floating there, with a blue crystal ball in the center, releasing surging spiritual brilliance.
"My concubine's guess, the areas protected by the six gates are so conspicuous, they should be just ordinary warehouses. The real treasure house should be hidden in the dark."
Fairy Shi analyzed with reason and evidence.
"Six formation gates, connected end to end, no hidden formation gates were found..."
Renren Hu showed doubts and fell into deep thought.
"Hey! The center of the six formation gates should be where the formation eyes are? The formation eyes are hidden very deep and are covered by the six formation gates. If there is a hidden formation gate, it can only be in..."
Renren Hu had an idea in his mind. After discussing with Fairy Shi for a while, he came to a preliminary conclusion.
Fairy Shishi's clear eyes flowed, as if she had realized something.
"Everyone, please stand back."
Hu Zhenren and Tan Zhenren exchanged a few words through voice transmission, and said to the five foundation-building monks.
Lu Changan showed a strange expression, and together with Shi Xianzi and others, retreated more than ten feet.
I saw that Master Hu, who was in front of him, took out a simple and rusty copper token from the storage bag.
"Half a year ago, I got this object under a corpse in the ruins. I don't know its purpose, and there is no response."
Renren Hu had a solemn expression and thought to himself.
Holding the copper token in his hand, he glanced at the few Foundation Establishment monks behind him, showing hesitation.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, if your conjecture is true, it is best not to let outsiders try it, maybe there is only one chance."
Tan Zhenren said via voice transmission.
"If Fellow Daoist Hu doesn't dare, it's better to let Tan Mou take the risk." In his words, he showed the courage to be the first.
"Tan Zhenren doesn't understand the formation, let Hu come."
Master Hu sighed and finally made a decision.
Tan Zhenren smiled, but he didn't argue hard. This kind of attempt is also risky.
As a fake alchemy real person, the future is bleak. If there is an opportunity that may go further, many people are willing to give it a try.
Holding the bronze token in his hand, Hu Zhenren put it in his sleeve robe and quietly injected Danli.
The token remains unresponsive.
Renren Hu closed his eyes with surprise on his face.
Through the token, he felt the hidden seventh gate, located above the center of the hexagonal palace.
"One of the six outer gates was broken, which is the best breakthrough."
After a long time, Master Hu opened his eyes, and a flash of light flashed by.
Don't wait for Tan Zhenzhen to ask.
He took a step forward, sacrificed the Forbidden Bead, and hit the gap above the golden and copper gate that had been broken.
The Forbidden Bead turned into a distorted black and white beam of light, passing through the formation gap behind the formation gate, a blue-red flame was stirred up.
Boom!
The formation above the hexagonal palace tower opened a big hole.
At the other end of the big cave, there is a glimpse of an exotic world, which is projected in the eyes of Hu Zhenren.
The scene was covered by the chaotic light of the formation, and the monks behind couldn't see it clearly.
"Could it be a small space created artificially? As the secret storehouse of ancient relics?"
Lu Changan looked at the big hole from a distance. Although he couldn't see the scene inside clearly, he could detect signs of overlapping spaces.
The similar breath leakage is a bit similar to when the Qingming Secret Realm was opened, but it is much weaker.
"As expected of a senior third-tier formation mage, he is more stable and precise than the real Qi of the year, and he can break through the vitals with one blow."
Shi Manrong firmly remembered the details and sighed secretly.
…
"Yin-Yang Water...Exquisite Congealing Crystal Pill..."
Renren Hu exclaimed, with ecstasy in his eyes, under the light of the shattered formation, his face was uncertain.
He was so excited, he took up the body shield, held the bronze token in his hand, and flew to the big hole where the array was shining.
The Bronze Token shimmers red.
The array around Daoist Hu condensed into a large blue and white net, enveloping it in a vortex shape.
"Master Hu, be careful!"
Zhenren Tan's pupils shrank, and he immediately waved the golden rope prepared in advance.
Shua!
The golden rope was like a snake with golden scales, it wrapped around Zhenren Hu's waist in an instant, and pulled it backward.
Light and shadow flashed.
Hu Zhenren's short body was pulled back.
Taking a closer look, Tan Zhenren felt chills in his heart.
The golden rope of the top-grade magic weapon in his hand broke every inch.
The real Hu who was pulled back was actually a charred black corpse.
"Fortunately, the old man reacts quickly. If he is swallowed by the formation trap, he will die without a life..."
A hoarse voice with lingering fear came.
Shua!
The scorched black corpse turned into a black charred scarecrow.
The pale-faced real Hu stood up from under the carbonized scarecrow.
"A strange thing that takes life's injuries?"
Lu Chang'an's eyes showed a strange look. In his previous life, Da Kun had only seen this kind of magical props twice.
Of course, such life-saving props often have a certain upper limit.
If Tan Zhenzhen hadn’t made a move just now, Hu Zhenren would not have escaped.
"Master Hu, what happened to the scene just now? Do the 'Yin Yang Water' and the 'Exquisite Condensation Crystal Pill' you mentioned really exist?"
Tan Zhenren was short of breath and couldn't help asking.
"The other end of the formation hole that the old man broke open just now leads to a small independent space. There, the old man can see the scenery of the ancient garden, and there are stone platforms covered by light masks."
"Reticle stone platform?"
The minds of all the cultivators present were drawn.
"On each stone platform, there is a treasure floating, and the name and purpose are engraved..."
Hu Zhenren made a statement in a low voice, and the subsequent content was shielded by the soundproof cover laid by Tan Zhenren.
"Master Hu, judging by the way you lost your composure just now, I suspect that you were affected by a hallucination."
Tan Zhenren said bluntly.
"Illusion? If it's really an illusion, the old man will be able to tell the difference after 'waking up'. But the scene just now was completely witnessed by my own eyes, and I can't find any flaws..."
Hu Zhenren took the elixir, shook his head and said.
"Two real people."
Outside the soundproof enclosure, Lu Changan came over here.
"What's the matter with you?"
The conversation between the two real people was interrupted, and their expressions were worried.
Lu Changan noticed that the attitudes of the two real people became more and more indifferent.
The ancient ruins have been conquered to this point, and the use value of him and Fairy Shi is running out.
"Master Hu, I would like to remind you that the token you used to sense the hidden gate just now..."
Lu Changan lowered his voice.
Although the voice was small, everyone else heard it.
"Token? Bad!"
Hu Zhenren came to his senses, his complexion changed suddenly, and he subconsciously touched his body, but couldn't find it.
"The token is missing?"
The two real people and several foundation-building monks couldn't help looking at the place where the hexagonal palace building broke down.
"Master Hu, heal your injuries first, and Tan will help you find them."
Tan Zhenren said kindly.
After all, let’s go there first.
How can Daoist Hu sit still?
Enduring the pain, he got up, turned around and chased Tan Zhenzhen.
At this moment, he sensed a faint aura fluctuation, and his heart felt inexplicably cold.
Chick—
A shadowless needle glow, exuding a fierce aura almost like a magic weapon, pierced through from Hu Zhenren's vest to his chest.
"Well…"
Renren Hu froze and turned his head with difficulty, with disbelief written all over his face.
