Chapter 757: Immortality dicine
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Yang Xizhi and Gu Heng slowed down as they saw no sign of ng Qi after pursuing him for a while.
“I will wait over there. He will have to go through that place if he wants to go to the other halls from this building,” Yang Xizhi muttered.
Gu Heng had always been a man of few words. Though he was the senior of the two, he was always ready to accept his Junior Sister’s suggestions. He imdiately changed his route without protesting.
Inside the sealed chamber, ng Qi imdiately distinguished the different content in the drone of the monks’ chanting and discovered the mystery of it. He was, after all, soone who had sat through the Buddhist scriptures chanting of hundreds of monks.
However, he dared not take his ti. This was a crucial ti, where every second and minute was precious. Never mind that there might be Dharmakaya masters coming here after detecting him or the grandmaster duo that was desperately trying to snatch his Eight Nine Mysteries technique, the Dharmakaya-level Heavenly Golden Scripture, Nine Prival Seals, divine weapons and magical artifacts. The fact that the duo wanted to kill him alone was enough to make it impossible for him to stay here, ditate and comprehend the nature of those chants!
ng Qi took a deep breath and collected himself. The reflection of his surroundings erged in his heart as he operated his Vital Spirit. His spiritual force rose as he forced himself to rember the characteristics and origins of the big monsters, demons and deities ntioned in those chants.
Simultaneously, he triggered the efficacy of the dicine so that it would bring so relief to his weakened body and injuries. With a wriggle of his flesh and blood, he soon regrew his left shoulder and arm. He stood up, pushed open the door to the sealed chamber and stepped out.
Once he left the chamber, the drone instantly disappeared. Before his eyes were overlapping arches and flying eaves as well as the cloister that winded among them. The cloister led to a serene, far away spot where one could not help sinking into a state of peaceful tranquilness. This was truly a place suitable for quietly cultivating Taoism.
ng Qi could only morize ten species of big monsters, demons and deities within the short fra of ti, but he did not have the luxury of ti to regret not rembering more. He quickened his pace and began running through the cloister on the left.
Since he had no way of discerning a sense of direction due to the uniqueness of this place, he chose the cloister on the left out of habit. This ti, he dared not to fly high and probe around out of fear that the grandmasters duo would discover him. He did not want to et with the fan straight on.
He had just flown past a section of the cloister when he suddenly slled a sweet scent that sent tremors down his spirit. The sweet scent rejuvenated his blood and flesh and even sowhat nded his injuries!
Following the scent, he saw a tightly shut black door with a horizontal board hung above it. While he could not recognize the seal scripts on the board, their aning automatically ca to him:
“The apothecary chamber!”
“Is this a case of good luck that I’m getting what I wish for or is the protective spell quietly pulling the strings because it’s a battle on its ho ground?” ng Qi was struggling between feelings of joy and surprise. He was happy that he was able to find elixirs that could quickly heal his injuries but alard that there was really an apothecary chamber in the place he fell on.
He carefully inspected the door before pushing it open. Its serene interior, with tiles made of white jade and roof beams made of green wood, entered his vision. It was an impressive and grand chamber.
There was a three-legged cauldron as tall as a human sitting in the middle of the chamber. The cauldron was painted with drawings of stars, rivers, mountains and seas, and emanated an air of great vicissitudes of life. It was secured to the ground, with layers upon layers of protective spells linked around its abdon. This ought to be the cauldron used to concoct elixirs.
Nurous “multi-compartnt shelves” lined the chamber. Inside each compartnt were things like jade vases and jade cases with leftover materials. Nothing looked out of place. It was as if the master of this chamber had simply left for the mont.
Perhaps it was because “the master of this chamber had simply left for the mont” that the protective spell had not kicked in. The countless elixirs and ingredients inside the chamber had lost their efficacy with the passing of ti. This was the place where the sweet scent originated from.
Fearing possible traps, ng Qi made a doppelganger and inspected the chamber together. He discovered that the majority of the elixirs and ingredients had decayed and turned into mud. They had beco completely worthless. It was the sa as the state of Primogenitor Lingbao in the Azure Palace.
Fortunately, there was still sothing worth getting happy over: there were two jade vases and several jade cases that were secured with protective spells. Perhaps the items inside were more precious.
“Golden Elixir of Yuxu... Taiyi Elixir of Dissolution...” Undoubtedly, the first things ng Qi saw were the elixirs.
The Golden Elixir of Yuxu was a miraculous elixir capable of extending life by ten thousand years in ancient tis. It was said to be refined out of two types of immortality dicine. On the other hand, ng Qi had not heard of the Taiyi Elixir of Dissolution. Judging from its na, it seed to have a different kind of use from healing injuries.
He created more doppelgangers to remove the protective spells. Smoke spilled out of the jade vase, its sweet scent entering his nostrils. ng Qi could feel his injuries rapidly healing after just a whiff of it.
Inside the vase were two elixirs in the color of vermilion. The elixirs whirled non-stop as if they had spiritual nature. However, the mont ng Qi uncorked the vase, their efficacy imdiately began to drop.
Recovery was his highest priority in such a dangerous situation. He did not have the luxury of considering anything else. Taking out one of the elixirs, he swiftly consud it, triggering its efficacy in his body. He then corked the vase again.
The vermilion elixir rapidly disintegrated and traveled to every corner of ng Qi’s body like a stream of air. His flesh and blood frantically absorbed the elixir and in a flash, his injuries were healed as his strength returned to its tip-top condition.
“I suppose this elixir is capable of bringing a person back from the brink of death to a certain extent...” He could not help sighing with emotion.
Suddenly, he felt that sothing was off but nothing unusual stood out in his field of perception.
He abruptly turned around and looked behind him. There, he was paralyzed in place as he saw that one of the jade cases had opened out of nowhere. Inside was an exotic seed of a fruit. It resembled a newborn infant with a complete set of facial features and limbs. It was imbued with the spiritual air of heaven and earth.
“Ginseng fruit!” ng Qi’s pupils shrunk in surprise.
Even more astonishingly was a red and moist animated peach lying atop the Ginseng fruit. Its entire body was emanating a bloody radiance. Inside its translucent flesh were veins and arteries, as well as energy channels, that were cheerfully absorbing the essence of the Ginseng fruit!
“The animated peach fruit?” ng Qi subconsciously looked at the back of his hand. He noticed the thunderbolt mark was now in lightning mode.
The little animated peach stopped its absorption as if discovering that ng Qi had taken notice of it. It wriggled a little and used its front to “look” at him. It moved slowly, almost as if it was caught doing sothing bad.
Then, the animated peach slowly turned around again and continued its absorption. It was as if it was saying that they should both mind their own business and not disturb one another.
“Just like a proud, pampered and gluttonous cat...” ng Qi wiped the nonexistent sweat off his forehead. He looked around the chamber again and saw that several more jade cases had been opened. The items inside were all missing. Judging from the scent drifting in the air, they were either immortality peaches or immortality dicines.
This thing was a demonic remnant of the ancient era that had been hiding in Longevity Sage’s skull. It was similar to the immortality peaches and had sothing to do with lifespans. It seed very interested in absorbing other immortality dicines.
ng Qi stared blankly for a flicker of a mont before rushing toward the remaining jade case that was untouched. He prayed that the animated peach had not got to this case. He still had to feed it to Uncle Master Xiaobai!
ng Qi did not know what the future had in store for him. Naturally, he regarded the remaining Golden Elixir of Yuxu as an elixir for his personal consumption.
The mont the jade case fell into hands, ng Qi removed its protective spell. He found two immortality peaches the size of a fist inside. Both were incredibly tempting; he wanted nothing more than to gobble them right up.
He had just put the peaches away when he heard the illusory sound of a “belch” and saw the animated peach finishing its absorption of the GInseng fruit. With a bounce in its step, it flew back to ng Qi with the look of sothing that had eaten its fill.
It bounced around ng Qi, causing him to break out in goosebumps. He imdiately took out the Supre-wisdom Tree and swayed it in front of the animated peach.
The little peach hastily took several steps in retreat and shook the void as it emitted squeaking noises. It seed to be asking ng Qi to return the remaining immortality peaches for it to slowly consu!
“Since you have eaten so many, you should leave so. If you’re greedy, so will this tree.” ng Qi shook the tree in front of the peach and threatened it without holding back.
The peach fell forward, with its head landing on the ground first. It flew up with an aggrieved look and threw itself into ng Qi’s thunderbolt mark, causing the mark to swell and form a sphere.
ng Qi collected himself and tried to take the cauldron. When he realized that it would take him a considerable amount of ti, he promptly decided to leave it and continue moving forward.
The users of this apothecary chamber ought to be the Jade Virtual disciples, so the cauldron was likely not a Prival object.
He flew close to the ground for so ti, leaving behind the overlapping buildings before finally seeing a large hall ahead. The board indicated that it was called the Yuan-xin Hall.
“Yuan-xin Hall? Could it be a hall containing the impartation of the Yuan-xin Seal?” ng Qi beca delighted.
Based on the information that Duke Huan provided, the immortals and disciples learned the Primary Instruction of Gold Badge from the Heavenly Primogenitor within the Jade Virtual Palace of Kunlun in the past. They would then visit the different halls to comprehend the Nine Prival Seals based on their personal nature, inclination, and comprehension. Each hall would contain its own seal. Thus, different Golden Immortals would co to learn different skills such as Guangcheng Designs, Nine Revolving Mystic Kung Fu, Edict of Life and Death, and Divine Disciplines of Virtue. The seals that they grasped would also differ. For instance, Guangcheng excelled in the Fan-Tian Seal and Chi Jingzi was an expert in the Yin-Yang Seal.
Like the Buddha’s Palm, there was only the Primary Instruction of the Dharmakaya-level Heavenly Golden Scripture left. The detailed cultivation thods were hidden among the Nine Prival Seals. There was no ti limit. Everyone would comprehend different things based on their personal nature, for “one would succeed no matter which seals one cultivates, and the Prival would naturally appear”. Even so, most crucial were the First Three Prints. It could even be argued that the latter six seals, Fist Art of Five Beginnings and Five Morals, were evolved from the first three seals.
“Yuan-xin Seal” was the last of the Nine Prival Seals. ng Qi had never understood what kind of seal it was. He could tell the use of the Fan-Tian Seal, Yin-Yang Seal, Wu Ji Seal, and Kai Tian Seal from their nas alone. He even had a good guess about the use of the Dao-yi Seal, as mysterious as it was. Dao birthed a single entity, then the single entity birthed two entities, two entities birthed three entities, and three entities resulted in all living things. It was similar to the concept of the first few seals birthing karma that would, in turn, evolve into the rest of the karma. This ought to be one of the seals that corresponded with the Seed of All Karma technique. The rest ought to correspond with the Wu Ji Seal and the like.
ng Qi did not slow his pace even as these thoughts crossed his mind. He rushed toward the Yuan-xin Hall.
When he opened the doors to the hall, he saw that its interior resembled a temple. However, what was being worshipped was not the statue of god but a simple bell that was condensed out of purple cloud. It was exactly the sa as the “Yuan-xin Seal”, the object imbued with the Gist of Trueness impartation, in Duke Huan’s description!
ng Qi’s flying light sped up as he charged at the bell. He was so close to obtaining it.
Just then, a shadow enveloped the altar as a giant jumped down from the roof beam above. The giant lifted his right hand and unveiled his spotlessly white fingers. His movent caused the void to contort, destroying heaven and earth and firmly drawing ng Qi to his palm.
Yang Xizhi appeared from the shadows of the doors, with a sword in her right hand and the Fan of Flas and Aves in her left. She pointed the fan at ng Qi and was about to fan it in his direction.
Suddenly, soone “stepped in” from the doors. With his green robe billowing in the air, it was none other than ng Qi!
In his right hand was his saber and in his left a wooden whip. Expressionlessly, he slashed the wooden whip in Yang Xizhi’s direction.
He had created a doppelganger to probe for traps and as expected, there were indeed enemies lying in wait!
