Su Mo is not ignorant of the character Zhang Lanque.

As early as in the phantom array on Longshan before, he had already learned that Zhang Qinghu had a total of four apprentices.

Among them, Longshan Guanguan advocates that Rulong is the eldest disciple, and it is also the apprentice who has experienced the most hardships in the process of apprenticeship.

In contrast, the other three were more relaxed, probably because Zhang Qinghu was old at the time and moved to accept apprentices.

Among the three disciples, the second disciple is called Zhang Lanque.

According to the information he investigated from various sources, Zhang Lanque should be an old man he knew in his early years.

Zhang Qinghu accepted him as a disciple, and did not teach him too much, but let him be a layman all the year round, during which he exchanged many letters, or answered questions, or provided assistance, which can be regarded as a master and apprentice.

And on the day of Zhang Qinghu's death, through the Swift Light Transmission Technique, Zhang Rulong received his relics, and similarly, the other three disciples also received relics.

Zhang Lanque's appearance here is probably related to this incident.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a spiritual place here.

Perhaps this was one of the few remaining spiritual energy enrichment points in the world at that time.

In a thought, Su Mo thought a lot, and the movements under his feet did not stop.

He dodged, and the whole person swept into the fourth cave.

The cave is very spacious, with two halves in the middle, the smaller half serving as a vestibule for entertaining guests, and the other half as an ashram for meditation and alchemy.

At this moment, in that quiet room, there was a corpse sitting upright.

He looked to be nearly fifty years old, with gray hair and a stocky face, and was wearing a cyan robe, but the robe was stained with blackened blood, and in the center of the robe, there were several huge wounds, running through the front and back.

I think that's why he died.

The fact that he was able to relocate the bodies of others and return to his own place of residence after being so badly injured shows that his strength is extraordinary.

According to Su Mo's estimate, it should be at the 8th or 9th level, but he definitely failed to reach the mage realm.

If he had stepped into the mage realm, then his body would have been intact for thousands of years, not as it was now.

Seeing that Zhang Lanque's corpse quickly turned into fly ash under the impact of the air, Su Mo sighed slightly, and then all his attention fell on Zhang Lanque's relics.

The first thing that caught his attention was a rotten wooden box next to the futon.

The wooden box contained only four things.

One side of the small ding, one jade slip, one token, three medicine bottles.

He picked up Xiao Ding casually.

Xiao Ding looks like he is only the size of a fist, but he is extremely heavy in his hand, and he is afraid that he will have thousands of catties, and he should be able to return to normal size by applying spiritual power.

The whole of Xiaoding is blue and blue, and the surface is engraved with strange runes the size of flies and insects, faintly forming the style of stars in the sky.

The edge of the mouth is engraved with two ancient seal fonts, called picking stars.

"Could it be that the Star Picking Hall was named because of this Star Picking Trip?"

Su Mo thought with a strange expression, and looked at Xiao Ding back and forth.

At this moment, he already knew that this Fang Xiaoding was a medicine tripod, which was specially used by alchemists for alchemists.

In the ancient cultivation world, a variety of auxiliary professions were opened up in the sorcerer system, such as array mage, acupuncture seeker, and so on.

Among them, alchemist is a more popular profession, comparable to alchemist, and is an extraordinary craft that is enough to make a living.

And if you want to become an alchemist, you will naturally have a medicine tripod used to assist in alchemy.

Like the magic weapon, there is also a hierarchy.

The difference is that the grades here are mainly divided according to the auxiliary effects of the drug tripod.

The more precious the medicine tripod, the stronger the effect of assisting alchemy.

It is rumored that in the heyday of the ancient cultivation world, there was even a Supreme Baoding that alchemy itself after investing materials.

Even the alchemist was directly omitted, which was simply outrageous.

Of course, the medicine tripod in front of him is definitely not as good as that level of treasure ding.

But it's also a rare treasure.

Through checking, Su Mo had already discovered that this small tripod should be a top-grade magic weapon-level medicine tripod.

Of course, the best magic weapon can't compare to the magic weapon.

Not to mention the best magic weapon like a moonlight disc.

But this medicine tripod is mainly used for alchemy, not for fighting defense.

Even if the effect of auxiliary alchemy is slightly weaker, it does not mean that it is impossible to refine higher-grade pills.

The biggest factor restricting alchemy is the alchemist himself.

If you have the highest level of alchemy, even if you use a low-level magic weapon-level medicine tripod, you can still refine an elixir that works on the mage.

As for the Bao Dan above the mage realm, it is estimated that it is impossible, after all, the pill of that level, the burning Dan fire alone is afraid that it can burn the medicine tripod.

Su Mo weighed the star tripod, and he was still quite happy in his heart.

Although it is only a top-grade magic weapon-level medicine tripod, it is more than enough for him to use.

His magician realm is only 3rd order now, let alone this level of medicine tripod, even if it is a low-level magic weapon level medicine tripod, it is just right for him to use.

As for his secret martial arts cultivation, which is comparable to that of a martial arts master, it doesn't play much role in alchemy.

Because there are only a very few special pills in this world that need to be urged by qi and blood.

Popular pills are usually prepared using spiritual power.

Of course, the advanced martial arts cultivation is not completely useless, at least it can allow him to grasp the heat more finely and control the alchemy process.

This also means that his alchemy level can quickly catch up with the realm of a sorcerer.

Even later, it was purely his own sorcerer realm that restricted him from refining high-grade pills and nothing else.

"It seems that we have to find a way to speed up the progress of cultivation at the sorcerer level."

Su Mo couldn't help but think of the stone platform that had just been put away.

Maybe you can imitate the spirit gathering array above and arrange multiple formations in your own villa.

Coupled with the spirit gathering effect of the Lung Talent, in the case of multiple overlapping buffs, the cultivation progress will not be slow down to the current dog.

In addition to this medicine tripod, the more important thing is the jade slip next to it.

By looking at the information left in the jade slip, Su Mo learned that it not only recorded Zhang Lanque's alchemy experience, but also recorded more than a dozen Dan prescriptions.

With these pills and alchemy experience, even if he didn't need to add points to the system, he could learn from scratch and quickly master the refining methods of some low-level pills.

The only thing to worry about is that many of the materials described above may no longer be available now.

For example, the main material needed to refine the Huasheng Pill before, the Huasheng Fruit, may not be able to be found in the whole of Huaxia.

"But just because you can't find it now doesn't mean you won't find it later."

"As long as the aura continues to recover, those heaven and earth spirits will always appear."

"And even if you can't find the original material for the time being, maybe you can replace it with other materials."

Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but relax a little.

He turned to look at the three pill bottles in the wooden box.

Unplugged the medicine bottle, and a foul black gas appeared inside.

The bottom is full of gray and blackened dregs.

Obviously, the pills that were originally stored in the medicine bottle did not survive thousands of years after all, and all of them turned into a pile of waste residue.

However, Su Mo was not so depressed, he had expected this scene a long time ago.

Dump all the black and gray medicine residues, and put away the three jade medicine bottles, which can be used to hold the pills he refined in the future.

And then only the last token remains.

The token as a whole is diamond-shaped, palm-sized, no more than a finger thick, the surface is bronze, and there is a [Wan] character ancient seal written on it, the era of looking at the handwriting should be even older, if it weren't for the fact that he had just checked a lot of history-related materials during this time, he might not be able to recognize it.

After getting this token, Su Mo immediately thought of the Mysteriously disappeared Ten Thousand Weapons Sect.

This token should be left by the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect, even if it is not, it must have something to do with that sect.

I just don't know what this token is for.

Su Mo faintly sensed that this token had extraordinary value, and he put it away.

At this point, all the things contained in the wooden box were put away by him.

Looking at the rotten wooden box on the ground, Su Mo immediately recalled the wooden box that Zhang Rulong had received.

Obviously, this wooden box is also Zhang Qinghu's legacy to him.

It's not good, even the star picking and even the alchemy secrets are all handed down by Zhang Qinghu.

Su Mo thought to himself.

At this time, people from outside also walked in one after another.

Obviously, everyone is trying to find a way to dig up the treasures of this relic cave.

But he'd scanned it before, and there wasn't really anything worth caring about in this cavern except for the wooden box.

Su Mo looked at the wall on the right side of the Dan room.

Except for the big medicine garden outside, few people know that Zhang Lanque also runs a private small medicine garden in the Danfang.

This small medicine garden is hidden behind a mountain wall, and it is forbidden to enter it in a unique way.

It just so happened that the technique was recorded in the jade slip.

Su Mo opened the wall with his hand, and a secluded secret place was revealed inside.

The secret place is only about a dozen square meters, and there are several glowing crystals inlaid on the top, and even after a thousand years, those crystals are still emitting a faint light.

In the small medicine garden opened up on the ground, most of the spirit plants had already turned into ashes, but only three purple spirit plants with leaves like eyes were left to grow stubbornly.

"I didn't expect to leave the purple-eyed grass, it looks like the seeds after dormancy have been revived and re-grown, and now it's cheaper for me."

Purple Eye Grass is one of the ingredients of many pills, and one-third of the pills recorded in the jade slips will use this spirit grass.

Su Mo did not hesitate to dig it out and prepare to transplant it into his villa and plant it.

With the bonus of the Spirit Gathering Array, even if the concentration of spiritual energy is still not as good as here, it is enough for the Purple Eye Grass to continue to grow.

What's more, even if the growth rate slows down, it doesn't matter, they have now reached a level that can be used for alchemy.

As long as you find other suitable alchemy materials, it won't be long before you can get them all gone.

After harvesting the only spiritual plants in this medicine garden, Su Mo left this cave in awe of many scattered cultivators.

I saw countless scattered cultivators going back and forth in the caves like locusts.

There are even many casual cultivators who are not giving up and are digging everywhere outside.

Occasionally, you can hear chatter, arguments, and even shouts of joy.

It is a fragment of a magic weapon, which can attract everyone's exclamations.

However, although these loose cultivators on the scene fought fiercely, there were no incidents of treasure snatching and killing, which had something to do with him and the other two giants sitting here.

Just like when he was sweeping inside the Dan room before, the other cultivators only dared to check in the front hall outside.

After all, it is here that some kind of order is formed.

But when they leave, it won't be for sure.

Su Mo was thinking about it, when Shen Panxia's shout suddenly came from the side:

"Brother Mo, look at this!"

As he spoke, Shen Panxia slipped over, picked up a red ribbon-like magic weapon and showed off:

"What do you see I've found?!"

"A medium-grade magic weapon? Yes, yes, just right for you. ”

"Hehe, this thing is so much better than the strange things I've collected."

Shen Panxia picked up the red ribbon, which became longer for a while, shorter for a while, thicker for a while, and thinner for a while, obviously unable to put it down:

"However, there are too few intact magic weapons left here, most of them are broken, I searched for a long time to find such a one, obviously the fire back then was not extremely serious."

"Speaking of which, I've probably investigated what happened here back then, do you want to know, Brother Mo?"

Looking at her little appearance, Su Mo was as kind as she was, and said with a smile:

"Then we'll have to hear what's going on."

Shen Panxia took out a yellowed jade piece and said with a smile:

"This jade tablet was left by a female cultivator named Zhong Yun, and there are many contents recorded on it.

According to her, after entering the era of the end of the law, the spiritual energy in the world was extinct, and in order to find a way to practice, she followed many loose cultivators to find the secret realm of the spiritual land.

During this period, she encountered all kinds of dangers, and was involved in the robbery of the spiritual land, and in the end, she and another fellow female cultivator were left alone, and they accidentally met Zhang Lanque, who was searching for spiritual grass in the mountains.

After that, the two of them were invited to enter the spiritual land where Zhang Lanque was, that is, the Star Picking Palace.

After coming here, in order to repay Zhang Lanque's kindness, they helped Zhang Lanque a lot, including taking care of the medicine garden outside, collecting spirit grass, inquiring about news, and so on.

Later, they successively took in some other loose cultivators and established this small gathering point, which was quite popular for a while, and the internal unity was also very strong, and even repelled several attacks from outsiders.

Later, more cultivators gave birth to children here.

Everything seems to be developing for the better, but unfortunately, as time goes by, the aura continues to decline, and even in this spiritual land, the concentration of aura is constantly decreasing.

In the past, it was good that the aura was still fully supplied, but now the aura is declining to the point that it is difficult to maintain even the cultivation, and conflicts have finally begun to arise internally.

And the most important thing is that they found Zhang Lanque's lie. ”
