Chapter 342 - Altering Muscle
As Long Chen advanced, he discovered that the valley before him had started to intersect like a maze. Book Net
The scariest thing was that the fog was becoming increasingly dense, and their line of sight was already less than 1000 feet away. It was just too easy to get lost in such an environment.
Moreover, Long Chen discovered that as he moved forward, he could see less and less figures. However, their cultivation was getting higher and higher, and the core disciples were basically nowhere to be seen.
Long Chen even saw the figures of a few Chosen experts in the distance. However, those Chosen experts weren’t from the other courtyard. When he looked at Long Chen from afar, his eyes showed a hint of surprise.
It was obvious that these people didn’t recognize Long Chen as they carefully searched for him.
Long Chen saw that the Chosen level experts didn’t pay attention to him and didn’t provoke them. He continued to walk forward.
As the dragon dust went deeper into the valley, the fog became denser and denser. The valley entrance also became denser and denser. If he went deeper, it would be difficult to determine his direction.
They had only entered the valley for less than three hundred kilometers, but they already didn’t dare venture any further. If they were to get lost within, then it would be unimaginable.
Disciples who entered the secret realm had to arrive at a designated location before it closed. Only there would they be sent to the outside world.
If they couldn’t make it in time, they could only stay in the secret plane. They could only wait a hundred years until the secret plane reopened before they had the chance to leave.
However, ever since the discovery of the Nine Li Secret Realm, those powerhouses who failed to leave would not be able to last until the next time the Secret Realm opened.
In any case, the seniors’ experience was that as long as they didn’t gather at the appointed time, they would die without a doubt.
"Nine Heart Grass!"
Long Chen was hesitating about whether he should go in or not when he suddenly discovered a strange clump of grass growing on the wall of the valley in front of him.
The grass was eight inches long and nine cores long. It looked like a small flower, but it was completely green and didn’t have the brilliance a flower should have.
Nine Heart Grass was the main ingredient to concoct a tier 5 pill, and its ingredients were extremely valuable.
Because the practice has reached the point of opening up to the point of opening up the mouth to the point of the head to the point of the head to the point of the head to the head to the head to the head to say, "
0" >s_ (); After the Pulse Condensation period, the Nine Heart Meridian Pill had become the dream treasure of the strong cultivators of this realm.
It was a pity that the amount of Nine Heart Grass in the outside world was too little. Even if it was just a division of academies, their numbers were limited. The supply of Nine Heart Opening Pills was simply unable to meet the demand.
However, there were more than ten clumps of Nine Heart Grass. If those Invigorated Meridian Realm old fellows were to see it, they would definitely go crazy.
“Just as they said, there are countless precious herbs in the valley, but once you go in to collect them, don’t even think about coming out!”
Before coming here, Ling Yunzi had told everyone about some of the taboos that existed within the Nine Li Secret Realm. One of them was this very place, the Misty Valley.
The Misty Valley was also known as the Valley of * * or as the Absolute Soul Valley. Ling Yunzi sternly warned everyone that even if they wanted to collect precious medicines, they would have to gather them in the outer region.
It was because outside of the area, one could still see tall mountains in the distance. With the tall mountains as a reference, they could still walk out.
However, once one entered, one would be shrouded in endless fog. If one entered, no matter how many precious herbs one harvested, it would be useless. One would even lose their life.
Long Chen turned his head to look in the direction he had come from and saw a haze behind him. However, with Long Chen’s eyesight, he could see a mountain that was no longer clear in the distance.
“Let’s do it here.”
At the entrance to the valley, Long Chen found a hidden spot and dug a small hole. He took out a pill from his spatial ring and buried it inside the hole.
The pill he had buried was called the Soul Guiding Pill. It was not used to consume, but as a marker.
As an ancient profession, alchemists could be traced back to the era when cultivation and civilization originated from. The knowledge contained within was vast and profound.
The quality of the elixirs were beyond one’s imagination, and there were a myriad of different types as well. As for the effects, they were as numerous as the stars in the sky, countless in number.
Soul Guiding Pill was a type of auxiliary pill. Other than the secondary pill, there was also a defensive pill, an attack pill, and more. It was said that the secondary pill was the secondary pill, a defense pill, an attack pill, and so on.
However, the pill in Long Chen’s hand didn’t have that much of an effect. It was only made of a special material that would allow Long Chen to leave a soul imprint on it.
It was to prevent him from getting lost. With this pill, he would be able to sense the location of the pill.
Long Chen had concocted quite a few of these supplementary pills during his free time. These were all essential ingredients for a pill refiner. He had used them in the right place this time.
The Soul Guiding Pill that Long Chen refined had his own unique soul imprint. Only he himself could sense it, so he wasn’t afraid of the other pill cultivators destroying it. Because of this, Long Chen dared to do so.
After checking again and making sure there were no flaws, Long Chen walked into the valley and arrived in front of the clump of Nine-Petalled Grass. He used a jade shovel to dig it out of the dirt and carefully put it into his Life Ring.
In the ring of life, it can cause them to stop growing. However, if their life force is preserved, living medicinal herbs are definitely more valuable than death.
Just these Nine Heart Grass could be exchanged for a large amount of points. If Long Chen were to refine it into the Nine Heart Meridians Pill in the future, it would be an astonishing amount of wealth.
“It’s just as the legends say. Once inside, it’s very difficult to get out!”
Long Chen turned around and saw a vast expanse of whiteness behind him. He could no longer see the entrance to the valley where he had been standing.
This was a strange place in the Misty Valley. Looking inside, one could see a distance of several hundred zhang, but looking outside, one could not even see a distance of one zhang.
In the past, there had been smart people who had thought of a clever way to tie a rope to the position at the mouth of the valley, so that when they came out, they could follow the rope and find their way in.
But don’t forget, there are both evil and good people here, if you leave a rope here, no matter who sees it, it would expose you.
When you come out, there will definitely be a group of people outside waiting to kill them for their treasures, so this method won’t work.
Long Chen walked over to the spot where he had buried the Soul Guiding Pill and looked at the blurry mountain in the distance. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his method, he wiped off the footprints he left on the ground.
After all, the Misty Valley was infamous for its ferocity, so Long Chen didn’t dare to be careless. Ever since he was buried in the ancient tomb, he became much more cautious.
If the Soul Guiding Pill had failed, he would have been able to track the footprints he left behind. Now that this method proved to be feasible, Long Chen naturally had to erase the imprint to prevent others from seeing it. He didn’t want to be surrounded by a large group of people when he came out.
As he went deeper into the valley, he discovered that there were a lot of rare herbs. He had actually discovered three clumps of Nine Heart Grass and four other precious medicines, all of which were extremely rare in the outside world.
Long Chen was wild with joy. Pill Refiners loved to interact with medicinal ingredients, and Long Chen was no exception. In his mind, there was the memories of the Pill Emperor.
Even though the Pill Emperor’s memories were incomplete, the process of refining this pill and the identification of the medicinal herbs were very complete. Some medicinal herbs that even the outside world did not possess were also picked up by Long Chen.
Long Chen couldn’t help but be grateful to the fellow who had ‘given’ his Life Ring in the examination. This fellow had helped him greatly.
Long Chen walked along the canyon. After walking for about ten miles, he saw a fork in the road that led to another canyon.
After laying down another Soul Guiding Pill, Long Chen continued his journey. Three days later, there were already hundreds of precious medicines lying in Long Chen’s ring.
One had to know that these precious medicines were all high-grade medicinal herbs. The value of refining high-grade medicinal pills was extremely terrifying. If they were refined into pills, it would be even more terrifying.
Bang.
As Long Chen was collecting precious medicines, he suddenly heard a muffled sound from within his body. The air around him surged and a boundless power rose from within his body.
“I’ve broken through to the First Sky!”
Long Chen couldn’t help but be happy. It had been several days since he’d advanced to the Altering Muscle stage. Long Chen hadn’t specifically cultivated, but had used the Three Flowers Through Muscle Meridian Pill to nourish his muscles and veins.
What made Long Chen pleasantly surprised was that the absorption of medicinal properties in his body was astonishingly powerful. Even after swallowing ten Muscle Meridian Rejuvenation Pills, he was still able to fully absorb the medicinal effects.
The thing that surprised Long Chen the most was that as he absorbed the pill, not only were his meridians strengthened, but his cultivation was also slowly increasing.
Moreover, the cultivation that he used medicine to raise was extremely solid. There wasn’t even the slightest sign of him loosening up.
Pills were only a part of supporting cultivation. Although they could increase one’s cultivation base at a rapid rate, they could not be obtained through hard work. They could cause one’s foundation to be unstable, their aura to fluctuate, and if it was not solid enough, it would affect one’s Dao foundation in the long run.
Relying on pills to increase their strength required a large amount of time to precipitate it. If one wanted to quickly precipitate it, then they would need to fight, and the stronger the battle was, the faster it would precipitate, especially in the Life and Death level battles. It was the best way to precipitate their strength.
However, Long Chen discovered that his body didn’t have any worries in this regard. Could it be that the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique itself was a medicine jar? Long Chen had thought of this more than once.
After advancing to the first layer, Long Chen felt the abundant energy in his body and couldn’t help but smile. He took out a Three Flower Invigorating Pill from his space ring and swallowed it.
Since his body could fully absorb the medicinal effects, Long Chen simply ate the pill as a meal. This was also a test of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique, he needed to unravel its mysterious veil.
After swallowing a bunch of Tri-Flower Muscle Altering Pills, Long Chen continued on his way. He also went to the entrance of the valley and harvested quite a few precious medicines.
Suddenly, Long Chen saw a pile of bones lying on the ground in front of him.
