Still Shadow Sinks Jade
Upon entering the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, Yi Yun felt as if he had entered an abyss. Dark red light flickered everywhere, giving him an almost suffocating feeling. Inside this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and earth had accumulated for hundreds of millions of years, which was simply unbearable for martial artists with low cultivation levels.
"Careful."
The Old Man Black Stone erected a thin shield, enveloping the Nine Li Witch Maiden within it.
As for Yi Yun, he did not enter the shield, nor did he even circulate his own energy. Instead, he stood in the surging wave of energy, fully embracing the baptism of this energy.
"Young friend Yi Yun, this is a grand formation left behind by the Medicine God. After hundreds of millions of years, it's hard to say what dangers might have arisen here," the Old Man Black Stone warned.
"It's alright." Yi Yun took a deep breath of the rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. He saw the dark red magma flowing not far away. He was very familiar with everything here. This Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was eight or nine parts similar to the Heaven and Earth Grand Array in the Sun Burial Sand Sea.
The difference is that the great formation in the Sun Burial Sand Sea has been almost dormant due to years of burial.
The great formation before us has remained active year after year thanks to the maintenance of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom.
"Call--"
A surging heat wave swept over him; the heat of this flame was no less than that of the Star Fire that Yi Yun had endured in the Kanglong Ding.
However, this was nothing to Yi Yun. With the Evil God's Fire Seed present, these heat waves couldn't even get close to Yi Yun.
Seeing Yi Yun walk calmly through the flames, the Old Man Black Stone was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Yi Yun's mastery of fire-based laws to be so high, which made him think even more highly of Yi Yun and place even more hope in him.
"This fire elemental energy is too intense."
Looking at the surging heat waves outside the shield, the Nine Li Witch Maiden felt as if she were walking on molten lava.
"If I'm not mistaken, there's a strange fire seed within this great formation."
When Yi Yun entered the Sun Burial Sand Sea, he found the Evil God 'Evil God's Fire Seed Evil God's Fire Seed, which was the core of the Heaven and Earth Grand Array.
Since this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation is eight or nine parts similar to the previous formation, then logically speaking, its core should also contain a fire seed.
I just don't know what level of fire this is.
He sensed the direction where the fire elemental energy was most concentrated and walked towards it.
The Old Man Black Stone and the Nine Li Witch Maiden followed behind. The flames grew fiercer, but this was nothing to the Old Man Black Stone, whose energy shield could easily block all heat waves.
Soon, a dark red ocean appeared before Yi Yun's eyes.
The lava churned into ocean waves, and the surging heat distorted space, creating a magnificent and breathtaking spectacle from afar.
Yi Yun leaped into the air and slowly floated across the sea of lava, preparing to fly deeper into the lava sea.
However, as soon as Yi Yun stepped into the airspace above the sea of lava, he frowned slightly. After all, this was a large formation that was in an active state, and now that he had arrived at the inner formation, it would not be easy to cross it. If he was not careful, he might get lost in it, and it would be troublesome to get out then.
Yi Yun recalled the Heaven and Earth Grand Array of the Sun Burial Sand Sea. Although he had personally entered that formation, Yi Yun still needed to ponder many of its arrangements.
"Brother Yi Yun, let's go this way."
Just then, Ling Xie'er's spiritual energy transmitted to Yi Yun's mind, directly providing guidance to him with her mental power.
Yi Yun was overjoyed. "Xie'er, you can find the way?"
"Hmm... this core formation is exactly the same as the one I was in back then."
Ling Xie'er has been in the Sun Burial Sand Sea formation for hundreds of millions of years. Or rather, Ling Xie'er is part of that Sun Burial Sand Sea formation. Her understanding of this formation far surpasses that of Yi Yun.
However, merely entering the grand formation is still a far cry from completing it and obtaining the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Pill.
"Good."
With Ling Xie'er pointing the way, Yi Yun saved a lot of effort; otherwise, finding a way would have been a huge headache for Yi Yun.
"Senior Blackstone, stay close to me and follow in my footsteps."
With each step Yi Yun took, he left behind a mark of vital energy, serving as a guide for the Old Man Black Stone to move forward.
Even with Ling Xie'er present, it still took Yi Yun several hours to cross the sea of fire.
At that moment, Yi Yun felt a layer of misty water vapor wash over him, and the heat waves suddenly disappeared, revealing an island in front of Yi Yun.
This is a magical island located in a sea of lava.
This small island is only a hundred feet in circumference. The soil on the island is dark red, and at its very center is a turquoise lake.
Yi Yun took a deep breath. He knew that both the small island and the emerald lake were formed from Law Array Pattern, and were part of the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation set up by the Medicine God.
Before Yi Yun arrived at this lake, it was filled with the pure essence of water.
"It's actually a combination of water-based and fire-based refining techniques..."
Yi Yun muttered to himself, "Alchemy mainly uses fire refining, but there is also water refining. Ordinary people boil medicine with water to extract the medicinal juice. Alchemists also use this method, but it is too unorthodox and rarely used."
The Medicine God refined this Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Pill by combining two methods...
Yi Yun walked to the edge of the lake and looked into the water.
In the emerald green lake, Yi Yun could see the shadow of a Medicine Cauldron, which was bound by eight chains and quietly sank to the bottom of the lake.
A Medicine Nurturing Great Formation requires Medicine Cauldron as its container. The same was true for the Heaven and Earth Grand Array in the Sun Burial Sand Sea. Moreover, that Medicine Cauldron was the Medicine God's natal Medicine Cauldron, which was of much higher quality than this Medicine Cauldron.
When Yi Yun's gaze shifted to the Medicine Cauldron and he strained to see it, he was stunned. Incredibly, he saw a hazy figure slowly coalescing on the Medicine Cauldron.
The figure was washed by the water, the image constantly swaying. Her features were exquisite, her eyes were gently closed, she lay on her side floating in the water, her hands were placed in front of her chest, and her legs were slightly bent.
Her body was well-proportioned and slender, her skin was fair and smooth, and her long, black, satin-like hair flowed behind her. She was bathed in the ocean without a single cloak of clothing, like a beautiful jade sinking in the water.
Her skin seemed to be enveloped in a faint glow, enveloping her in this radiant light, truly Still Shadow Sinks Jade.
Upon seeing the girl, Yi Yun opened his mouth, momentarily speechless with embarrassment.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
With the keen insight of an alchemist, he immediately realized that the girl he saw was actually the transformed form of the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing Pill. Moreover, the girl's figure and eyes were exactly the same as those of the Nine Li Witch Maiden, and her appearance was exactly the same as that of Huan Chenxue.
He stood there stunned for a while before slowly turning around, looking somewhat embarrassed at the Nine Li Witch Maiden behind him.
The Nine Li Witch Maiden looked at Yi Yun and her eyebrows twitched slightly. "What's wrong?"
"I think I saw the elixir. It was a bit of a surprise; it was shaped like a young girl, and... it's a little inconvenient..."
After hearing Yi Yun's words, the Nine Li Witch Maiden seemed to have a feeling.
"Elder Hei Shi, please wait a moment," the Nine Li Witch Maiden said to the Old Man Black Stone.
The Old Man Black Stone nodded and stopped in his tracks. The Nine Li Witch Maiden slowly stepped forward and walked to Yi Yun's side.
She looked out into the ocean, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"This..." The Nine Li Witch Maiden stared at the figure for a long time. She never expected that this was the elixir Yi Yun had mentioned, and that it was herself!
