After entering the outer area of Dao of Alchemy, Yuanyang Sect did not push all the way in, but separated the people first.
Chen Yi stood at the entrance, glanced at the surrounding layout, and clicked on a few places.
"Alchemy Chamber, medicinal materials room, Side Warehouse, side hall, search separately. First look for the records, Jade Slip and good things. Put Law Artifact and Medicinal Pill at the back."
"Don't touch the stove and floor tiles. Check the restrictions first."
Everyone responded and quickly dispersed.
Li Yuan and the other two Foundation Establishment monks were assigned to a piece of Medicine Record Room on the east side. The place was not big, with three stone rooms side by side. The medicine shelves outside had long been empty, but there were still many wooden boxes and book shelves inside, but most of them were covered with thick dust.
Li Yuan first scanned it with his spiritual consciousness to confirm that there were no obvious remaining restrictions, and then raised his hand to push open the innermost door Stone Gate.
The door shaft was dry and made a soft sound.
The medicinal smell in the stone room has long since dissipated, leaving only a little stale smell mixed with wood and old paper. There are three rows of bookshelves against the wall, and there is a long desk in the middle, with a few yellowed old books pressed on the desk.
As soon as the Foundation Establishment monk next to him reached out to touch it, the corners of the page shattered into dust.
"It's very bad." The man frowned. "Why not use Jade Slip."
"Jade Slip will break down faster without spiritual power supply, unless it is a high-level Jade Slip, and these are probably of little value." Another monk said.
Half an hour later, more than a dozen old books were piled on the long desk.
Li Yuan paused for a moment when he picked up the thin booklet at the bottom.
There is no elixir name written on the cover, only two words.
Golden Core Formation.
He turned to the first page. The first few pages were not specific methods, but a very neat record, obviously written by a certain Dao of Alchemy monk, using the customary entry format used within the sect.
Li Yuan glanced downwards.
There are no mystical words in it, it only describes what needs to be firmly established before Golden Core Formation. The foundation of spiritual power must be stable, the physical body cannot be too weak, and the spirit cannot be frivolous. If the three are out of balance, even if Golden Core Formation is barely done, there will easily be deficiencies after the elixir is completed.
The following pages also include several frequently asked questions.
Some people have sufficient spiritual power, but their physical bodies are too weak. They cannot bear the back pressure of spiritual power during Golden Core Formation, and the elixir is flawed. There are also people whose souls are unstable, and their minds are lost at the moment of condensing the elixir, and all their previous efforts are wasted. I mentioned later that what is truly Higher Vehicle Dao of Alchemy is not to be strong in any one item, but to develop all three simultaneously and support each other.
Li Yuan's turning of pages is a bit slow.
This booklet is not Cultivation Method, nor is it a secret book. It is just a basic preparation record for the juniors in the sect. But the things written in it are exactly in line with his current path.
Spiritual power, body, soul.
Three-Origin Unification screwed these three things together, and what this old book says is that Golden Core Formation should have made these three things as flat and stable as possible before.
Li Yuan didn't look at it any longer. He put the book aside and flipped through two more books. After confirming that there was no other key content, he put the pile into a temporary storage bag and prepared to hand it over to Chen Yi later.
The monk next to him saw that he had left a book alone and asked, "Is it useful?"
"It's like the preparation record before Golden Core Formation." Li Yuan said, "Submit it first and let Fellow Daoist Chen see it."
The other party nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After rummaging through the three rooms Medicine Record Room, several people took their things out and met another group of people coming back from the side room.
There are also harvests there, but most of them are incomplete Pill Formula and a few booklets recording medicinal properties. The value is hard to say, but at least it is better than leaving it completely empty.
Chen Yi quickly reclassified people.
"Collect the records in the east first, and check Side Warehouse in the west again. Don't touch Pill Furnace and the medicine shelf for the time being."
Li Yuan turned to Side Warehouse this time.
The so-called Side Warehouse is actually a utility room outside the Alchemy District area, divided into several rooms, some for jade bottles, some for utensils, and two rooms that seem to be dedicated to storing Jade Slip and spell records.
The first room you enter is littered with broken bottles and racks, and there is nothing to see.
The second room was much neater, but most of the shelves were empty. Li Yuan glanced over it with his spiritual consciousness, and just as he was about to turn around, a Grey Jade Slip lying crooked on the edge of the wooden box in the corner suddenly fell into sight.
There is no aura on the surface of Jade Slip. It seems that it has been left for a long time and there is a layer of fine dust on the edges.
But I sensed Affix.
Li Yuan looked unmoved and turned Jade Slip over to take a look.

Green Trait.
The appearance is indeed not broken, and the spiritual structure is still there, but the inside seems to be covered with a layer of extremely chaotic patterns. As soon as the spiritual consciousness penetrates, it only feels chaotic and cannot read the content at all.
He did not try hard by himself, but went directly to Chen Yi with Jade Slip.
Chen Yi was standing outside Alchemy Chamber at this time, watching several Array monks remove a door restriction on a cabinet. Seeing Li Yuan coming over, he reached out to take Jade Slip, his spiritual sense penetrated in, and he frowned after a moment.
"Jade Slip body is not broken."
"The content is messed up?" Li Yuan asked.
"The order of the records inside has been washed away, as if it was disturbed by something."
Chen Yi turned Jade Slip over, tried to send a wisp of spiritual power into it, and finally shook his head.
"Cannot read normally."
After he finished speaking, he directly returned Jade Slip to Li Yuan.
"Take it first. It's not broken anyway. Then we'll see if there's any other way."
Li Yuan took it and put it away without asking any questions.
Side Warehouse continued to look inside, and later found a few Dao of Alchemy records Jade Slip and two old books. The really valuable Law Artifact and Chengdan were still missing.
Towards evening, several teams met again in the outer hall of Alchemy District.
Things were all piled up in one place, and the harvest was much better than last time. At least it was no longer just picking and missing. There were some records, old Jade Slip, and medicinal materials books. Whether I could really dig out the useful ones would have to be sorted out later.
After that, everyone continued to explore deeper into Alchemy District.
The first section of the road has been cleared, but the trail behind is getting harder and harder.
It's not that the road is blocked, but that the preserved restrictions have obviously been upgraded to a higher level. The gray and white Spirit Pattern are paved more densely, and Hidden Pattern that were added later are embedded in many places. It looks like the old sect restrictions and subsequent changes are mixed together. If you are not careful, you may touch the two layers of mechanisms.
Spirit Pattern Analysis is still in effect, and Li Yuan can see the structure more easily than others, but the further in, the more troublesome he can feel.
The restrictions at this level are no longer just First-Tier Superior-Grade.
There are some sections of Spirit Pattern that are so complicated that they, the Foundation Establishment monks, can slowly take them apart at present, especially at the innermost arch. The restrictions are not applied layer by layer, but several Main Pattern bite each other to death, almost as if the entire area is locked into one.
Chen Yi and several Array monks stood in front of the door for a full two-quarters of an hour, and finally stopped.
Li Yuan is also looking at that door.
The spiritual power behind the door is very heavy, as if there is a larger area pressing down. If it is broken through forcefully, it will probably not open the door, but directly collapse the entire restriction inside.
Then really don't want anything anymore.
A person next to me whispered, "Deep Layer entrance?"
"Most likely." Chen Yi nodded, "But I can't get in now."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone knew what was going on.
This place can only go so far for the time being.
Alchemy District can check the outer layer, but the really deeper areas inside are beyond the reach of their team. At least they have to wait for stronger people to come, or Array Master with a higher level to take charge, before they can push down.
Chen Yi made a decision quickly.
"We will close the team today. We already have the outer layer, don't waste it here."
"Take all the things you find back to the sect and sort them out. Deep Layer entrance and forbidden patterns are also reported."
No one objected.
On the way back, the team walked faster than when they came.
Returning to Fangshi, Li Yuan pondered for a moment, unloaded a piece of equipment that was not urgently needed in the short term, and then replaced Grey Jade Slip with it after meeting the conditions. Panel was slightly shocked. As soon as Jade Slip was successfully equipped, an incomplete but extremely clear content poured directly into his mind.
It was not an ordinary read, but a remaining method that was forcibly sorted and stuffed in by Affix.
The content of the spell quickly took shape.
This is not Cultivation Method, but a Second-Order Body Tempering Method technique, which focuses on bone refining and Skin Membrane. During operation, spiritual power is used to repeatedly wash away the outer layer of the bone and Skin Membrane texture. It does not seek to achieve it overnight, but to grind it over time.
What's even more special is that this spell itself is also involved in other spell practices. The more spells you master, the stronger the influence between spells is, and the faster this Body Tempering Method spell will advance.
But this Body Tempering technique has no name.
Li Yuan was not in a hurry to continue practicing and just sat quietly in the stone house for a while.
The Ruins outer layer, the old book, the Deep Layer entrance, and the Body Tempering Method technique that was disrupted but still remained. What I got on this trip today is much more than it seems on the surface.
It was quiet outside the stone house, and most of the lights in the city had been extinguished.
Li Yuan Close your eyes and start to adjust your breath.
