Volume 3: Ascension Immortal Tower Chapter 158: The Extravagant Medicine Garden
"This place is so weird, I saw an old man just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye!"
Jing Shaoling's heart was beating wildly, and there was a hint of fear on his face.
The old man seemed to have never appeared, but he was really appearing in front of his eyes, as if it was a hallucination, and this feeling made him very bad, even if he was a monk, he was a little frightened at the moment.
He was already a little scared, but he was even more scared at this time.
The unknown is often frightening.
His face was extremely solemn all the way, Jing Shaoling really wanted to leave this ghost place immediately, and the scenes he saw here made him very excited, looking terrifying and weird.
The thought of those corpses in the ruins made Jing Shaoling uncontrollable fear welled up in his heart, and he thought that maybe he would become one of them.
"I don't want to die, at least not in this hellish place!"
Jing Shaoling muttered to himself, the hairs on his body stood up, and he only felt that his scalp was a little numb.
Walking all the way into the depths of the ruins, it was still desolate and lifeless.
The dilapidated buildings and the desolate atmosphere shrouded it, like a lead cloud overhead, such a once glorious city has become a ruined and dead city, quiet and terrible.
Jing Shaoling's heart became more and more gloomy, and he always felt that something would happen.
"What taste, so strong?"
Jing Shaoling's nose shook a few times, and he stopped in surprise, he smelled a trace of vague smell, refreshing, it seemed to be the smell of the medicinal fragrance of the elixir.
"It seems to smell like an elixir, could it be that there is an elixir growing here?"
Jing Shaoling was full of curiosity, searching around along the scent, his eyes saw a ruined palace not far ahead, this palace was the same as the previous one, preserved in the destruction of unknown existence, although it was broken, but it still did not collapse, towering there desolate and lonely.
"Where did the smell come from, is there an elixir in it?"
Jing Shaoling looked at the dilapidated palace with some hesitation.
Some strange things that happened in the Holy Master Hall before made him a little frightened, he was afraid of what danger was hidden in this palace, so he couldn't help but hesitate, he didn't dare to go in.
It's just that the smell of this elixir is getting stronger and stronger, Jing Shaoling is a master of alchemy, and he can tell from this smell that the elixir in it must be a high-grade elixir, at least all of them are elixirs above the second order, which makes him quite excited.
At this time, he was seriously injured and urgently needed some elixir to recover from his injuries.
After hesitating for a long time, he decided to go in and gamble.
Jing Shaoling cautiously approached the palace, and he held the plaque in his hand from behind, just in case.
This palace is even more dilapidated than the previous Holy Master's Hall, the plaque above the palace has disappeared, and the threshold and beams at the entrance of the main hall are rotten, leaving mottled red vermilion lacquer, exuding a smell of decay, as if it will turn into powder if you step on it lightly.
The eaves above the palace were all broken, except for some gray and white stones, and many remained on the dark yellow stone tiles
A black substance that looks like a layer of black paste.
But the vitality of heaven and earth here is unusually rich, Jing Shaoling's spiritual consciousness is very keen, he just stepped into this place and felt it, took a deep breath, and felt the rolling vitality pouring into the dantian, turning into a stream of heat.
This place is very suitable for him to cultivate, but after all, it is in a forbidden land, and there are dangers, and he is not so bold.
Walking into the palace, the fragrance of the elixir became more and more intense, it seemed to be not far away, after passing through the palace was a barren garden, the garden range was about more than ten acres, and the ground around the garden had some broken stones, which seemed to be a wall before, but all collapsed, leaving only some remnants of the foundation.
There is a jade platform more than ten zhang high at the four corners and the center of the garden, the jade platform is carved with complex lines, it can be vaguely distinguished that this seems to be some talisman seals, and the shape composed of five jade platforms looks like a "Hui" character, full of mystical taste.
"This seems to be a formation?"
Jing Shaoling secretly guessed, he approached a jade platform to take a look, and sure enough, he found a broken formation on the top of the jade platform, with a few broken flagpoles and some shattered spars remaining on it.
Standing on the top of the jade platform, Jing Shaoling looked at the other four jade platforms, and vaguely felt a trace of coercion, although the passage of time has corroded and dilapidated all these jade platforms, but he can still feel a trace of fluctuations.
It can be imagined how vast the formation formed by these five jade platforms countless years ago.
It's a pity that he can't see that kind of situation now, he is not familiar with the formation, and he can't figure out what the formation composed of this jade platform is used for, and what is strange.
The rich fragrance of the elixir came from this barren garden, and Jing Shaoling walked in it and saw many dried elixirs, densely packed and countless, different in size, some were as big as a few feet, and some were only a few inches in size.
Moreover, these elixirs are strangely shaped, some are flowers, some are rhizomes, some are branches, some are spherical, and even some elixirs are all beasts, including fish, rabbits, snakes, apes...... It seemed to be like a legendary elixir of transformation, Jing Shaoling, who saw it, was amazed, but he didn't know it.
It's a pity that these elixirs have all withered, maybe they are born aliens, even after endless years, they still retain their form, otherwise they would have turned to dust.
Jing Shaoling was amazed, he tried to pick up a dry elixir, but as soon as his fingers touched it, the elixir turned into dust, although he had a premonition in his heart, he was still very lost.
These elixirs can be planted in this primeval forbidden land, they must all be alien species, and they should all be high-grade elixirs, but it is a pity that no one has taken care of them for a long time, let them wither, and finally turn into dust, which is really a pity.
At present, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of the Immortal Cultivation Realm is thin, many elixirs have disappeared, and even the psychic flowers for refining Zhuji Dan are becoming increasingly rare, otherwise in the last battle of the Spirit Pool, the Heavenly Demon Sect would not have so many disciples who had condensed their Qi to participate.
It is really a scarcity of elixir, and there are many monks and little meat.
Jing Shaoling carefully took a cue at the roots of some elixirs, and sure enough, he found some
Exceptional, although the years have passed, these withered elixirs still retain some traces, the silver and gold lines are still very clear, and there are even some purple and crystalline elixirs.
"Oh my God, the lowest level of these elixirs are all fourth-order elixirs!"
Jing Shaoling exclaimed, his face shocked.
Although these elixirs withered, the roots still retained the hierarchical patterns of these elixirs.
There are nine levels of elixirs in the world of cultivating immortals, of which the first-order elixir is common, and the elixir above the third order begins to be scarce, as for the elixir above the fourth order, it is even rarer, as for the fifth-order elixir and the sixth-order elixir, they are all legendary elixirs.
The elixir is born from the creation of the aura of heaven and earth, extracting all kinds of aura of heaven and earth, plus the growth of various opportunities, it is an indispensable treasure medicine for monks to promote and cultivate.
Depending on the time of growth, the medicinal effect is different, and the older the year, the stronger the medicinal properties.
Taking a hundred years as the calculation year, a first-order elixir should be at least a hundred years old, and after forming a white vein at the root, it can be called a first-order elixir, if there is no white vein, it can only be called a mortal medicine.
The second-order elixir is the elixir that has been in fire for more than 500 years, and there is a blue stripe at the root, this elixir is usually extremely precious, and it is a treasure medicine promoted by the foundation building monks, although it is precious but it is not difficult to find.
The third-order elixir is an elixir of more than a thousand years, and it can only be called a third-order elixir after a copper pattern is formed at the root, this kind of elixir is very rare, not to mention rare, but it is also extremely rare.
Only some sects have, and occasionally at some auctions, causing cutthroat competition.
And the fourth-order elixir is really a rare existence, this kind of elixir must be three thousand years old, and the powerful medicinal power will form a copper pattern at the root, so it can be called the fourth-order elixir, the fourth-order elixir is said to be only available in some forbidden places, and Jing Shaoling has only seen a few of the most common ones in the jade slip.
When it comes to the elixir above the fifth order, the year of the elixir is more than five thousand years, and the roots will form a silver vein, no one has ever seen it, and there are only a few records in the jade slip.
The sixth-order elixir belongs to the legendary elixir, the details are unknown, only that the root will form a golden vein.
As for the seventh-order, eighth-order, and even ninth-order elixirs, there is no record on the jade slips, and it is still a mystery whether they exist or not? When Jing Shaoling was reading an ancient book in Longhe Mountain, there was a sentence recorded in it, which was formed by purple veins, which belonged to the high-level holy medicine, above the sixth-order holy medicine.
What did he see in front of these withered elixir remains, the roots of the most inferior elixir were silver and gold veins, and there were hundreds of purple veined elixirs, as well as a few crystalline elixirs, and he didn't know what level it was.
This is enough to show that the lowest level of these elixirs is above the fifth order.
This is really incredible, who is the owner of this barren medicine garden, he actually planted so many high-level elixirs, densely packed with tens of thousands of plants, if these elixirs appear in the outside world, it is estimated that it will cause a storm, and it will cause countless monks to covet it, so there will be sectarian wars
Possible.
And judging from the planting area of this elixir, the silver and gold elixirs are only at the very edge of the medicine garden, and the surrounding soil looks very irregular, and the elixirs are entangled with each other, very messy, and it looks like radish and cabbage are planted at random, and they have no intention of taking care of it.
Only those purple and crystalline elixirs were close to the center, slightly regular, seemingly planned and cared for, but also extremely limited, and seemed to be only slightly cared for.
Only in the place of the jade platform in the center of the medicine garden, a place was planned squarely, vaguely composed of five kinds of soil, and some broken array flags were inserted around, which seemed to be isolated with prohibitions, and it was extremely important.
It's just that it's empty, there's nothing, and the treasure medicine seems to have been taken away.
Jing Shaoling was dizzy when he looked at it, and his heart was full of horror, "The owner of this medicine garden is really terrifying, the fourth-order and fifth-order elixir is like a cabbage, and it is still growing in a corner at will. The elixir above the sixth order was a little more concerned, and he didn't seem to pay attention to it, only the jade platform in the center seemed to be worthy of his careful care......
If the monks of the Immortal Cultivation Realm knew about this, they would probably vomit blood.
The owner of this medicine garden is also too extravagant.
Jing Shaoling was a little speechless.
What made him feel distressed was that all these treasures had withered, which was really a great loss.
If he is allowed to get a plant casually, not to mention that his cultivation has skyrocketed, he can sell it for a sky-high price, and it will be barren and even withered like this, which is really a waste of heaven.
Jing Shaoling wanted to say: "You don't want me, I can get a formation or something to protect it!"
Of course, these words can only be muttered in my heart, the owner of this medicine garden is long gone, and it is useless to say it. Fortunately, the medicinal fragrance he smelled was not emitted by these withered elixirs in front of him, but from other places, which made Jing Shaoling a little relieved, maybe he could pick up some leaks in this ruined medicine garden, the fourth-order and fifth-order ones did not dare to expect extravagance, and he was very satisfied with a few third-order elixirs, following the taste of the elixir, he gradually followed the past.
