It was a hidden ear room, with the entrance hidden behind the medicine shelf in the elixir room. There was nothing inside, except for a stone-engraved battlefield terrain map embedded on the wall. Fortunately, because the ear room was relatively hidden, the graphics were not damaged, but parts of it were weathered, but the traces on it could still be seen.
"This is... a battlefield terrain map?" Lin Chuan's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Everyone quickly gathered around.
A relatively complete topographic map is painted on the wall. Although the landform has changed over the past thousands of years, several large landmarks are clearly identifiable. A natural boulder, a dry river bed, and three Z-shaped peaks are the main terrain here.
In addition, the map marked Pure Land Chan Sect's supply points, garrison locations, transportation routes and several main marching passages in this area at that time. Going forward along the passages was the main battlefield at that time.
"We are here now." Liu Suifeng pointed excitedly at the location marked by a supply point on the map, and then slid his finger northeast along a transportation route until he stopped at the mark of a huge Z-shaped mountain peak.
"According to the map, Pure Land Chan Sect's main force was stationed here, about two hundred miles away. There is a high probability that Golden Core Realm's monks were stationed here to fight. Maybe they can find good things."
"Vast Waves Sea is also in the northeast. The main directions are the same. You can explore along the way." Lin Chuan straightened up and said, "Record all the usable information on the map to make sure you don't go the wrong way."
Liu Suifeng excitedly used Jade Slip to print out the map on the wall and recorded it into his array disk.
When everyone came out of the Buddhist temple, the sky was already darker than when they first entered the secret realm. The smell of blood in the air seemed to be stronger.
The five people turned to the medicine garden behind the Buddhist temple, which was surrounded by broken stone walls. The glow above the medicine garden became more obvious in the fading sky, and the fragrance of the medicine became more intense.
That's the real big deal.
After coming out of the Buddhist temple, the sky was a little darker than when we first entered the secret realm. There were layers of gray Black Cloud on the dark red skyline, and the smell of blood in the wind was stronger than before.
The five people did not stop and walked along the gravel path behind the Buddhist temple in the direction of the medicine garden.
Liu Suifeng As he walked, he scanned the front with the array disk to confirm that there were no abnormal spiritual power fluctuations around the medicine garden.
"There is no Demon Beast response." He paused and added, "At least the array disk did not detect any living creatures."
There is no Demon Beast to protect you!
A thought popped into the minds of the five people almost at the same time. Is it true that no one has touched it? If it is really a medicine garden that has not been opened for a thousand years, the value of the spirit medicine inside will be immeasurable.
"Don't be careless." Lin Chuan walked at the end, his hand always pressed on the hilt of the sword, "Things that can survive in this ancient battlefield are either able to be hidden or strong enough. If the formation plate cannot be scanned, it does not mean it is safe."
The formation remains unchanged. Qin Tiexin is at the front, Du Heng follows closely behind, Liu Suifeng is in the middle holding the formation plate, Xu Ying is half a step behind, and Lin Chuan is behind.
The five people passed through the last patch of rocks, and the stone wall of the medicine garden was in sight.
The stone wall is not high, about more than five feet, and is made of gray-white stones. The surface is covered with fine Sanskrit carvings, but it has long lost its aura. The stone door is half open, and a stone plaque cracked into three parts is embedded on the lintel. The words engraved on it have been weathered until only vague strokes remain.
Qin Tiexin took the lead in crossing the stone gate and paused the moment his footsteps landed.
The others followed and walked in, all frozen in place.
The medicine garden is about five acres in size and is divided into two parts by a long-dried Lingquan Canal.
The first thing that came into view were three giant trees. Each tree was as thick as two people could hug each other. The bark was dark green, and the branches were twisted like dragon tendons. The tree crowns covered the sky and the sun, and spread out lushly for several feet. There were more than a dozen hanging on each tree. The fruit is as big as a fist, with a blood-red skin and fine fish scale-like lines on the surface. A sweet aroma emanates from the fruit, mixed with a very light smell of flesh and blood. It is not fishy, but has a strange sweetness.
"Dragon Blood Fruit!"
Xu Ying's voice trembled slightly. She walked quickly to the tree, looked up at the blood-red fruits, and the light in her eyes almost overflowed.
"It's really Dragon Blood Fruit. Looking at the tree's girth and bark texture, it must be over a thousand years old. You see, the scale pattern on the bark is a unique feature of Dragon Blood Fruit Tree. Every hundred years, an additional circle of scale patterns will grow. There are at least a dozen circles on this tree."
Just as he said this, Xu Ying's voice stopped suddenly and he was looking ahead blankly.
Everyone looked at Xu Ying and saw that in the center of the three Dragon Blood Fruit Trees, half surrounded by them in the shape of a cross, there was a small tree as tall as a person.
The trunk is only as thick as a forearm, the bark is pale golden, and there are not many leaves, about a hundred or so, each of which is half the size of a palm. The veins of the leaves glow with a vague light golden Buddha light under the dark red sky. Looking from a distance, the entire small tree seems to be shrouded in a very light golden halo, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding dark red wasteland.
Xu Ying Continue walking forward and stop five steps away from the small tree.
She took a deep breath, as if she was trying her best to suppress some emotion that was about to overflow. As a Alchemist who grew up smelling the fragrance of medicine in the Jade Cauldron Pill Pavilion, she had seen countless spirit medicine treasures, but she had only seen this one in front of her in the ancient books and maps collected by Lineage.
"Bodhi Tree. This is live Bodhi Tree."
Her voice was much softer than before, as if she was afraid that if she was too loud, she might startle something.
"This is the first of the three main medicines of Dragon Elephant Bodhi Pill. Look at the Buddha's light on the veins of the leaves. It is a strange phenomenon that can only occur in an environment infiltrated by Buddhist aspiration. Most of the Bodhi Leaf that can be seen occasionally on the market are a century old, and there is no aura on the veins, let alone the Buddha's light. This Bodhi Tree is at least a thousand years old."
She walked half a circle around Bodhi Tree and squatted down on the ground not far away.
Several palm-sized ganoderma-like spirit medicine are growing at the root of a decayed spiritual tree. The caps are milky white with very light golden lines on the surface, and they are shaped like a crouching baby elephant.
"White Jade Elephant Ganoderma. It is also one of the main medicines of Dragon Elephant Bodhi Pill." Xu Ying stood up and scanned the entire medicine garden, "Now the three main medicines are complete."
She walked back to Bodhi Tree, squatted down, and pressed her palms on top of Bodhi Leaf, feeling the warmth coming from the very faint layer of Buddha's light on the leaves.
"However, these medicinal materials are overkill for refining Dragon Elephant Bodhi Pill. Medicines that are ten years old are enough to refine third-grade elixirs. These medicinal materials that are thousands of years old can be used to refine fourth-grade elixirs. The monks of the Golden Core Realm are demanding to buy fourth-grade elixirs."
She stood up and took a deep breath. The excitement in her eyes had been replaced by a sense of determination.
"We Jade Cauldron Pill Pavilion want all these spirit medicine. After leaving the secret realm, I will convert Spirit Stone according to the market price and distribute it to everyone according to the previous rules. If anyone wants the real thing, they can also convert it into spirit medicine in proportion." At this time, Xu Ying expressed Jade Cauldron Pill Pavilion Lineage's decisive style, she looked at Liu Suifeng and Du Heng, "Suifeng, Brother Du, go over there to pick White Jade Elephant Ganoderma and other auxiliary medicines. Dig carefully and don't tear off the roots. Some auxiliary medicines can continue to be planted even if they leave roots."
"Senior Brother Ming and Lin - Mr. Lin, please help me pick Dragon Blood Fruit, and finally transplant the Bodhi Tree." She pointed at the three Dragon Blood Fruit Tree trees and said to Qin Tiexin and Lin Chuan.
