The moment Jiang Chuan stepped into Lesser Red Heaven, he smelled a rich medicinal fragrance.
Immediately, a medicinal field spanning several miles came into view.
The loamy soil was crystalline, like amber jade, paved across the land.
"This is all top-grade medicinal soil, an inch is worth one Spirit Stone. Just how many Spirit Stones is all this medicinal soil worth?" Que Jinling exclaimed in surprise.
"It's a shame, the spiritual herbs in the medicinal field have all been destroyed."
Jiang Chuan looked at the patches of black ash on the medicinal field, his heart aching.
It wasn't that some cultivator had entered Lesser Red Heaven and destroyed the spiritual herbs.
It was because the spiritual herbs had grown for too long, developed sentience, and transformed into demons, wanting to escape the medicinal field.
The Grand Formation of the medicinal field had operated, summoning lightning to destroy the spiritual herbs.
"It truly is a shame."
Que Jinling nodded gently, "Let's first go search for the legacy and treasures left by Lihuo Daoist."
"I wonder what Dragon Transformation Venerable's Cave Mansion is like?"
Jiang Chuan's mind flashed back to Dragon Transformation Venerable's Cave Mansion on Chisha Island, and he followed Que Jinling, flying towards the Daoist Temple at the end of the medicinal field.
The Daoist Temple had white walls and black tiles, with an ancient design.
A stream flowed slowly in front of the Daoist Temple.
A blue Alchemy Furnace, over a person tall, stood before the stream.
Jiang Chuan seemed to see an ethereal True Immortal gathering herbs here, refining pills, and quietly reciting Daoist scriptures.
"Lihuo Daoist was a cultivator from the Middle Ancient Era. During that time, the humans and demons were in conflict. He would surely have worried about his legacy and treasures falling into the hands of the Demon Race, endangering humanity."
Que Jinling looked at the Daoist Temple's gate, her pretty face filled with vigilance and longing. "I suspect Lihuo Daoist must have left behind a trump card and a trial, so you'll have to go retrieve the treasure alone."
Jiang Chuan didn't reply. Instead, he raised his hand and pushed open the Daoist Temple's gate, entering the main hall.
The hall was paved with gray bricks and stones, with a statue in the center.
The statue wore Mountain River Boots, a Star River Robe, and the Sun and Moon Crown. Although it was just a statue, it seemed to encompass all the wonders of the universe, making people's hearts involuntarily feel reverence.
"Is this the ancestor of the Immortal Path, Taixu Daojun?"
Jiang Chuan looked at the statue, matching it with the records of Taixu Daojun he had seen in his mind.
"Junior."
Just then, a deep voice sounded out of thin air in the hall.
The next moment, a Daoist wearing a lotus crown, an Yin Yang Daoist robe, and a jade-like face appeared out of thin air before the statue of Taixu Daojun.
"I am Lihuo Daoist. That you can enter this place means you are fated with me. Three… nine… post… then…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lihuo Daoist's phantom figure dissipated once more.
Jiang Chuan: "…"
Senior, couldn't you spend a few more Spirit Stones to prepare a better quality recording stone?
The image is gone before he could even finish a sentence.
Jiang Chuan sighed lightly and walked to the statue of Taixu Daojun, picking up the recording stone left by Lihuo Daoist.
After scanning the images within with his Divine Sense, Jiang Chuan's eyes twitched slightly, and he walked out of the Daoist Temple.
Que Jinling saw Jiang Chuan emerge and quickly asked, "Jiang Chuan, did you obtain Lihuo Daoist's treasures and legacy?"
"The treasures and legacy are not in the Daoist Temple."
"Not in the Daoist Temple? Then where?"
"In the Alchemy Furnace."
"What?"
Jiang Chuan pointed to the Alchemy Furnace behind Que Jinling, "In the Alchemy Furnace by the stream behind you."
Que Jinling: "…"
This is not what the storybooks describe!
In storybooks, shouldn't the legacy and treasures be in the Cave Mansion, and you have to go through many trials to obtain them?
Why did Lihuo Daoist so brazenly put them in the Alchemy Furnace?
And why aren't there even any trials?
To these questions, Jiang Chuan could only say that storybooks are not to be trusted.
After all, there's no rule stating that one cannot put legacies and treasures into an Alchemy Furnace.
Approaching the Alchemy Furnace, Jiang Chuan infused it with his magic power and easily opened it.
Jiang Chuan and Que Jinling looked into the Alchemy Furnace with anticipation.
Clang!
Robes, boots, and crowns of various colors flew out of the alchemy furnace's opening, landing before the two of them.
Jiang Chuan: "."
Que Jinling: "."
What happened to the promised treasures and inheritances?
We traveled thousands of miles, risking our lives, to come here.
Are we really going to get nothing but a pile of clothes and shoes?
Soon, the two of them shifted from confusion to joy.
After the robes and boots were dispensed, three rolls of yellow jade books were ejected.
Jiang Chuan reached out and grabbed the three rolls, which looked as if they were carved from yellow jade.
"Lihuo Dao Scripture, One Qi Dao Sword, Lihuo Alchemy Book."
Just as Jiang Chuan finished examining the three jade books, a blue gourd flew out of the alchemy furnace.
The blue gourd looked as if it were carved from blue crystal, clear and translucent.
A golden pill, the size of a dragon's eye, floated within.
A rich medicinal aura emanated from the pill, manifesting auspicious signs such as lingzhi mushrooms emitting auspicious energy and divine flowers blooming.
It was evident at a glance that this was an extraordinary pill.
"Bone Remolding Pill!"
Que Jinling excitedly grabbed the Bone Remolding Pill.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuan also showed a pleased expression.
He was finally about to receive his reward!
Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!
The sound of sword cries rang out as two flying swords, one black and one white, roared out of the alchemy furnace like two black and white flood dragons.
As the sword light flowed, it emitted a soul-stirring sharpness that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Good sword! Good sword!"
Jiang Chuan was extremely excited.
The power of either of these two flying swords surpassed his Flame Sun Needle; they were both Top-grade Treasure Artifacts.
After grabbing the two flying swords, Jiang Chuan's gaze instinctively fell upon the four golden ancient characters on the sword bodies.
One Yang, Two Yin.
Jiang Chuan: "."
Senior Lihuo, if you really don't have any talent for naming things, we won't name them.
These two sword names are like a joke.
Fortunately, these two treasure swords were only Top-grade Treasure Artifacts and not Dao Artifacts.
Otherwise, Jiang Chuan felt that the artifact spirits of these two treasure swords would definitely go mad!
"From now on, you shall be called Young Yang and Young Yin."
As soon as Jiang Chuan finished speaking, an ancient diagram flew out of the alchemy furnace.
Que Jinling took it and discovered that this ancient diagram was the formation map for controlling the Grand Formation of Lesser Red Heaven.
[After obtaining the inheritance and treasures of Lihuo Daoist, you did not immediately leave with Que Jinling.]
[The Bone Remolding Pill is a pill refined by combining spiritual medicine with precious metals and stones. Ordinary cultivators cannot refine it by consuming it.]
[It needs to be simmered with true fire for seven days and seven nights, transforming the Bone Remolding Pill into a pool of golden liquid.]
[Que Jinling enters the golden liquid, circulates the Lihuo Nirvana Method recorded in the Lihuo Dao Scripture, absorbs the medicinal power, and reshapes her body.]
[You, on the other hand, are comprehending the three Daoist Scriptures left behind by Lihuo Daoist.]
[Among the three Daoist Scriptures, you are most interested in the One Qi Dao Sword.]
[The One Qi Dao Sword gathers the origin energy of heaven and earth, nurturing a Dao Sword with Dao Transformation Power.]
[You almost died from Dao Transformation after comprehending the Dao Stele left before Bodhi Temple. You are well aware of the horror of Dao Transformation. Even many cultivators in the Eighth Realm, Ninth Realm, and even Tenth Realm, will turn into Dao principles and merge into heaven and earth after death.]
[Ordinary cultivators cannot resist the power of Dao Transformation at all; touching it means instant death.]
[You feel that if you were to master the One Qi Dao Sword, it would not be impossible to even defeat a Fifth Realm cultivator.]
[Ten days later, Que Jinling finished reshaping her body, and you left Lesser Red Heaven together, preparing to head to Bamboo Immortal Island.]
[Unexpectedly, as soon as you left Sunfall Sea, you encountered cultivators from Bamboo Immortal Island.]
