After leaving the Security Bureau, Su Mu hurriedly returned home, only to find himself in the Immortal Cultivation Realm when he opened his eyes.
The array outside the Dan Pavilion looked like it was about to collapse; the light circle was becoming increasingly dim, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
When the princess and the other woman joined forces to strike, the formation finally shattered with a deafening roar.
The two were delighted to see this, and after greeting Su Mu, they headed straight for the Pill Pavilion.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly followed.
Upon entering the attic, the first thing you see is an enormous furnace, standing at the very center, its surface carved with birds and beasts, exuding a sense of desolation.
After glancing at the cauldron, the princess and her companion looked away, guessing it was just a decoration.
There were rooms on both sides of the attic, some of which were open and others were closed. There was a flash of spiritual light at the door, which probably meant that there were protective formations around them.
The two princesses looked on helplessly. They had just broken through the outer formation, but they hadn't expected there to be another formation inside.
Su Mu ignored all that and walked straight towards the room that had already been opened.
The outer formation wasn't broken, so it seems the place hasn't been looted.
The room closest to Su Mu had some books and bamboo slips scattered on the floor, but these books and bamboo slips simply crumbled when Su Mu approached.
Su Mu scanned the area but didn't see anything that looked like a treasure. Instead, he noticed a dense array of jade plaques hanging on one side of the wall.
Su Mu looked on curiously and couldn't help but reach out and take a piece.
"Number 36, Qianzi".
Su Mu looked closely and recognized the words on it; there was also a faint glow on the jade tablet.
Su Mu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately took down the board with the jade pendant hanging on it.
"Do you think this is the key to open the room?"
Su Mu was in a hurry when she left the room with the board, causing the jade pendants hanging there to clink together.
While the princess and her companion were still looking at the densely packed rooms with some frustration, they were taken aback by Su Mu's words.
Gu Yu reacted the fastest, picking up a jade tablet as if exploring something with her Divine Sense. After selecting one from the jade tablets, she waved it towards the door on the right.
A miraculous thing happened: the door slowly opened.
It really is a key!
Su Mu's spirits lifted; with this, there was no need to waste time breaking the formation.
"It really works!"
Gu Yu was delighted to see this and quickly went inside.
The room was much tidier than the Su Mu had just been in. There was a small stove in the middle and a shelf on the left filled with porcelain vases.
"This is the Alchemy Chamber, probably for Pill-Refining Apprentice. The higher the rank, the more important the pills they refine should be."
After taking a look and confirming the layout, the eldest princess immediately had a general idea in her mind.
The Alchemy Pavilion is entirely dedicated to alchemy, and some of the pills produced are kept by the alchemists themselves, while others must be handed over to the authorities.
If that's the case, then the good stuff should be up there.
Gu Yu waved his hand, directly taking the porcelain bottle from the side. After opening it, he found that all the pills inside had turned into powder.
Take a gentle sniff.
"Hmm, the Dustless Pill tastes like this; it's for disciples who haven't yet entered the cultivation realm. The Essence-Gathering Pill is for disciples who haven't yet entered the realm. Both are low-grade pills."
Although the pills were gone, the lingering fragrance still allowed Gu Yu to identify some of the pills present.
"Let's go, with the jade token, we don't need to waste time down there."
The two nodded slightly and headed straight up.
When they arrived on the seventh floor, they randomly opened a room.
The Pill Furnace was still there in the room, and the flames beneath Pill Furnace were still burning.
"This Pill Furnace looks to be of good quality, but unfortunately it's already been burned."
No one knows how long this thing has been burned; it's no wonder it's ruined by now.
After examining the Pill Furnace, the two began to inspect the pills beside it.
This time, the two were not disappointed; several bottles contained pills, all in extremely good condition.
" The Spirit Wood Pill is the most suitable medicine for Core Formation Cultivator. It is made from an extremely precious spirit wood, no wonder it has been preserved."
The eldest princess, being knowledgeable and experienced, recognized the elixir in her hand.
The value of this pill is probably at least several thousand Spirit Stone.
After dividing up the elixirs in the room, the three began climbing upwards, opening any rooms they encountered along the way.
If you encounter a room without a jade tablet, just let it go and find a room with a spirit tablet.
The room was filled with pills used by Core Formation Cultivator, or some rarer pills, such as those for strengthening the soul and tempering the body.
Although not many pills were preserved, they were all of the finest quality.
"Huh, Body-Sculpting Pill?"
The eldest princess opened a jade box, and inside the box was a pill that looked somewhat grayish-white.
"It seems that next we'll need pills that only Nascent Soul Cultivator can use."
Why?
Su Mu found it strange.
" The Body-Sculpting Pill is a pill used only for External Incarnation, and External Incarnation is Divine Ability that only Nascent Soul Cultivator can cultivate."
Su Mu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"In that case, we have almost all the materials needed to rebuild a physical body. Once we get back, we should be able to condense a physical body for you."
The eldest princess put the pill away and said something.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and he swallowed the word "thank you" that was on his lips.
"Let's continue."
Gu Yu divided the collected pills among herself and continued searching for the next room.
So far, no cultivators from outside have been able to enter. The three of them are the only ones in the huge palace, which is quite enjoyable.
Each time you open the room, it feels like you're playing the lottery, which is incredibly exciting.
The number of treasures in the subsequent rooms increased significantly, and several Pill Furnace were collected.
The eldest princess and Gu Yu were overjoyed, probably because the elixirs inside were very useful to them.
Su Mu looked at the pills, and although he wasn't as happy as the two princesses, he was still extremely excited.
Just because he can't use it now doesn't mean he won't be able to use it in the future.
Besides the pills, the three also found quite a few Pill Formula. Surprisingly, there were even many Pill Formula for low-level pills in the Alchemy Chamber.
Some of the Pill Formula here are no longer usable, but others are still usable. Su Mu collected them all, and could carefully examine their usability later.
After looting the alchemy pavilion, the group left in a hurry, showing no intention of looting the lower levels.
Time is limited, so let's go and collect the more valuable items first.
