757 Immortality Medicine (1/2)

Yang Xizhi and Gu Heng slowed down as they saw no sign of Meng 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 immediately changed his route without protesting.

Inside the sealed chamber, Meng Qi immediately distinguished the different content in the drone of the monks' chanting and discovered the mystery of it. He was, after all, someone who had sat through the Buddhist scriptures chanting of hundreds of monks.

However, he dared not take his time. This was a crucial time, 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 Primeval 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, meditate and comprehend the nature of those chants!

Meng Qi took a deep breath and collected himself. The reflection of his surroundings emerged in his heart as he operated his Vital Spirit. His spiritual force rose as he forced himself to remember the characteristics and origins of the big monsters, demons and deities mentioned in those chants.

Simultaneously, he triggered the efficacy of the medicine so that it would bring some 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.

Meng Qi could only memorize ten species of big monsters, demons and deities within the short frame of time, but he did not have the luxury of time to regret not remembering 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 time, he dared not to fly high and probe around out of fear that the grandmasters duo would discover him. He did not want to meet with the fan straight on.

He had just flown past a section of the cloister when he suddenly smelled a sweet scent that sent tremors down his spirit. The sweet scent rejuvenated his blood and flesh and even somewhat mended 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 meaning automatically came 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 home ground?” Meng 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 alarmed 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 abdomen. This ought to be the cauldron used to concoct elixirs.

Numerous ”multi-compartment shelves” lined the chamber. Inside each compartment 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 moment.

Perhaps it was because ”the master of this chamber had simply left for the moment” that the protective spell had not kicked in. The countless elixirs and ingredients inside the chamber had lost their efficacy with the passing of time. This was the place where the sweet scent originated from.

Fearing possible traps, Meng 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 become completely worthless. It was the same as the state of Primogenitor Lingbao in the Azure Palace.

Fortunately, there was still something 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 Meng Qi saw were the elixirs.

The Golden Elixir of Yuxu was a miraculous elixir capable of extending life by ten thousand years in ancient times. It was said to be refined out of two types of immortality medicine. On the other hand, Meng Qi had not heard of the Taiyi Elixir of Dissolution. Judging from its name, it seemed 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. Meng 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 moment Meng Qi uncorked the vase, their efficacy immediately 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 consumed it, triggering its efficacy in his body. He then corked the vase again.

The vermilion elixir rapidly disintegrated and traveled to every corner of Meng 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 something 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.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”Ginseng fruit!” Meng Qi's pupils shrunk in surprise.
