Mortal Seeking Immortal

After removing the shield, Ye Zhou walked to the front of the hall with a heavy heart. Through the hall door, he could see several tall wooden racks in the corners around the side hall, with countless transparent shields of different sizes on them. Spiritual plants and pill bottles emitting rich spiritual energy were quietly suspended in the shields.

Feeling the terrifying power hidden in the restriction, Ye Zhou couldn't help but feel a little pain. At present, with his means, he couldn't break the restriction covering the side hall at all. The treasures under these restrictions were only visible but not accessible.

Ye Zhou turned around and was about to call Xiaoshan to leave, but unexpectedly, Xiaoshan suddenly exclaimed.

Xiaoshan pointed to the dozen or so floor tiles covered by the restriction in front of the side hall and said in surprise: "Master, these floor tiles seem to be different from the floor tiles next to them."

Ye Zhou looked at the dozen or so floor tiles that Xiaoshan pointed at curiously, and saw that the dozen or so floor tiles were similar in size to the surrounding floor tiles, about half a foot long and wide, and the colors were also very similar, but there were some subtle differences upon closer inspection.

Ye Zhou casually walked to a floor tile near him, released his spiritual sense to scan the floor tile carefully several times, and then found several golden runes as small as dust from the tiny gaps around the floor tile.

After careful identification by Ye Zhou, it can be inferred that there is a small formation hidden under this floor tile, but it is unknown what kind of formation it is.

Ye Zhou frowned slightly: "Why did the owner of the secret realm secretly set up more than a dozen small formations here? Could these formations be related to entering this side hall?"

"If so, how to activate these formations?"

Ye Zhou paced and pondered, looking into the side hall from time to time, as if looking for clues to activate the formation.

"Dan Hall, Dan... That's right! Alchemy requires fire, does it need to be burned with flames to activate it?"

Ye Zhou circulated his spiritual power and released a ball of black hot flames. The shape of this flame was like a three-headed dragon, which was the three-headed red flame dragon beast fire used by Ye Zhou when refining the pill.

With the appearance of the beast fire, the air temperature around Ye Zhou rose rapidly. The small formation under the floor tiles in front of him seemed to feel the beast fire in Ye Zhou's hand, and the golden runes exposed instantly became brighter.

Ye Zhou was delighted. He actually guessed right.

Then he waved his hand, and the three-headed red flame dragon beast fire floating in his palm drew an arc in the air and fell quietly on the floor tiles. The small formation under the floor tiles quickly absorbed all the beast fire, and then a dazzling golden light was released from the formation, as if urging Ye Zhou to move forward.

Ye Zhou first released a low-level poisonous insect into the formation. After confirming that there was no danger in the formation, he called Xiaoshan and walked into the formation with Xiaoshan. The golden light emitted by the formation turned into a solid golden shield, covering Ye Zhou and the others.

The scene changed, and Ye Zhou was already in a huge dark and silent space.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of spiritual plants as dense as a hill appeared in this space at the same time, most of which were ancient rare spiritual plants.

Before Ye Zhou could think carefully, a tiny golden light appeared in the void in front of him, and then the golden light shattered with a "bang", turning into tiny golden lights floating in front of Ye Zhou, gradually converging into three lines of pale golden ancient characters.

"Accurately find the spiritual plant for refining Ziyang Huanling Pill from the spiritual plants in front of you. The time limit is two quarters of an hour. Those who fail will lose the qualification to enter the Dan Palace!"

The ancient characters turned into tiny golden lights again, forming a recipe for Ziyang Huanling Pill. There are hundreds of spiritual plants needed to refine Ziyang Huanling Pill. To accurately find these hundreds of spiritual plants from this pile of tens of thousands of spiritual plants, some of which are very similar in appearance, this is a great test of the cultivator's soul strength and familiarity with spiritual plants.

Soon, Ye Zhou finished reading the recipe of Zi Yang Huan Ling Dan, and the golden light dissipated, turning into a golden hourglass floating in front of Ye Zhou.

This Zi Yang Dan is a top-grade elixir that improves the efficiency of Qi gathering for cultivators in the foundation-building stage. It is very rare on the market. I didn't expect Ye Zhou to get the recipe here.

As the golden sand in the hourglass slowly fell, the countdown began.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath, closed his eyes to calm his nervousness, and a complete recipe of Zi Yang Huan Ling Dan appeared in his mind. Ye Zhou's soul was so strong that he could remember everything he saw, and he had firmly remembered the recipe of Zi Yang Huan Ling Dan.

Next, he accurately found the more than 100 spiritual plants from this pile of spiritual plants.

Ye Zhou released his spiritual sense to sweep through the mountain-like spiritual plants in front of him, and quickly identified the spiritual plants. For all the spiritual plants that he confirmed, Ye Zhou grabbed them back with a thought. In just a few breaths, Ye Zhou had accurately found several spiritual plants with his powerful spiritual sense. At this speed, he could easily find the spiritual plants needed to refine the Ziyang Huanling Pill within two quarters of an hour.

Just when Ye Zhou was making good progress in the formation, several uninvited guests came to the side hall. Among them was a female cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, wearing Qingshamen clothing, and a little bit of beauty.

On the left and right of the female cultivator stood two male cultivators in the great perfection of foundation building, and these two male cultivators protected the female cultivator firmly in the middle.

As soon as the female cultivator appeared, she was attracted by the Dan Hall. A glimmer of excitement appeared in her eyes. She ignored the male cultivator standing beside her and ran straight to the Dan Hall.

The taller, fair-skinned male cultivator on the left side of the female cultivator nervously followed the female cultivator's steps and advised, "Junior Sister Ruoyan, don't be impulsive. There are many restrictions in this inner secret realm. Before leaving the sect, I promised Master that I would bring you back safely. If you have any mishap in the secret realm, how can I explain to Master when I return?"

Standing on the right side of the female cultivator named Ruoyan, a male cultivator with slightly darker skin also echoed a few words. When Ruoyan heard the words, he snorted disdainfully: "I just said, how could dad let you guys go without any reason? The two of you came with me, and you two were sent to control me."

Without waiting for the two male cultivators to explain, Ruoyan raised her chin towards the Alchemy Hall in front and said with a proud face: "Yuan Kai, Mingcheng, since you two are here, if you don't do something, your trip will be in vain. Then you two can help me explore whether there is any danger in this side hall."

The fair-skinned Yuan Kai glanced at the side hall, and then glanced at Ye Zhou and the two men who were covered by golden shields in front of the side hall. Knowing that there was something wrong with the side hall, he looked at Mingcheng, who had slightly darker skin next to him. , said helplessly: "Okay, Mingcheng, you can protect Junior Sister Ruoyan here, and I'll go find out what's weird about this side hall."

Seeing Mingcheng nodding in agreement, Yuan Kai walked towards the side hall cautiously. When he reached less than a foot in front of the side hall, he stopped. He took out a foundation-building low-grade shield from his storage bag and covered it with him. He stepped forward, waved his hand, and instantly condensed a cold sword energy, which shot towards the open door of the side hall with a 'swish' sound.

When the sword energy was about to shoot into the wide open palace door, a golden shield shrouded outside the side hall suddenly appeared, blocking the attack of the sword energy, and shot out in the direction of the sword energy many times the amount before. golden blade.

Yuan Kai hurriedly activated the shield to block the golden blade that was shot at him. There was a "bang bang bang" sound on the shield. After a moment, the golden blade disappeared. Yuan Kai removed the shield and stepped forward to study the general carefully. The golden shield covering the side hall.
