Mortal Seeking Immortal

Ye Zhou looked at the spiritual plants carefully with sharp eyes, and finally found three small tender buds in the least noticeable corner of the spiritual plants.

A hint of joy appeared in Ye Zhou's eyes: "If it weren't for this medicinal fragrance, I'm afraid I would have missed the three spiritual plants of Bingling Huiqi Root, Taiqing Peiying Grass, and Yuye Ziwu Fruit."

After Ye Zhou quickly reported the names of the three spiritual plants, he couldn't wait to look at the golden hourglass on the side, only to see that the golden sand in the golden hourglass was still flowing down.

The joy in Ye Zhou's eyes froze: "It seems that there are spiritual plants that have been missed."

Ye Zhou calmed down and slowly replayed the growth process of the spiritual plants in his mind. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind: "Indeed, there are spiritual plants that have been missed due to my negligence."

At this time, the spiritual plant in Ye Zhou's mind grew rapidly in reverse, and turned back to the fist-sized dark brown seed at the beginning, similar to the size of a walnut. The next moment, the seed broke, revealing two similar-looking, pigeon egg-sized, black and inconspicuous seeds.

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "I was really careless. I missed the seed of the turtle marrow red gold fruit at the beginning, as well as the seeds of the Nine-bend Golden Marrow Grass and the Polymorphic Holy Spirit Fruit wrapped in the turtle marrow red gold fruit."

After Ye Zhou said the names of the three spiritual plants, he murmured: "There should be no mistakes now."

After that, Ye Zhou turned his gaze to the golden hourglass on the side. When Ye Zhou said the names of the last three spiritual plants, the golden hourglass stopped flowing, and the golden sand was suspended in the hourglass.

So far, Ye Zhou only took less than two-thirds of the time to pass the second level. During this period, there were more than a dozen figures covered by golden shields outside the side hall.

It seems that they are also people who come to participate in the test of the Alchemy Hall.

The darkness around Ye Zhou retreated like a tide, and a bright white light shot out from the retreating darkness, wrapping Ye Zhou inside. When the white light dissipated, Ye Zhou found that he was already in an ancient alchemy room.

In the center of the alchemy room, there was a huge alchemy furnace about one person tall. Under the alchemy furnace was a round hole half a meter wide. A blazing flame emitting hot and high temperature came out from under the round hole, licking the alchemy furnace like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, heating the alchemy furnace to boiling hot, and a burst of alchemy fragrance came out from the alchemy furnace, filling the entire alchemy room.

The alchemy room was surrounded by tall and simple wooden racks, on which various rare spiritual plants were piled up at random. The rich spiritual energy emanated from the spiritual plants, blending with the strong fragrance of the elixir to form a peculiar fragrance. Ye Zhou felt comfortable in this fragrance.

The next moment, a two-foot-wide, simple and exquisite bronze mirror placed on the wall emitted a dazzling light. The light shone in front of Ye Zhou, casting the back of a monk in green clothes. A powerful breath that made people tremble with fear emanated from this back.

An extremely huge pressure fell on Ye Zhou, pressing Ye Zhou's face pale, and he couldn't help kneeling at the feet of this back, but at this time, the Demon God Body Forging Art in his body began to operate slowly, and Ye Zhou dispelled this pressure in the blink of an eye.

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved, and looked at the back in front of him solemnly. He knew that the third level test was about to begin.

The monk slowly turned around, revealing a slightly old face. He looked handsome and heroic, about 30 years old, but his temples were already gray. His expression was empty, as if he was unaware of the outside world.

Ye Zhou guessed that this monk was the senior Jin Yangzi who created this secret realm tens of millions of years ago. This bronze mirror should contain a trace of unconscious remnant left by the senior Jin Yangzi after he created the secret realm.

Ye Zhou was able to obtain a lot of treasures and opportunities from the secret realm, all thanks to the senior Jin Yangzi. He respectfully bowed deeply to Jin Yangzi three times.

"Thank you, senior!"

Just as Ye Zhou bowed, Jin Yangzi's originally empty eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of tenderness, but then this touch of tenderness disappeared again.

After Ye Zhou finished bowing, Jin Yangzi said calmly: "Congratulations, you have reached the last level before entering the Dan Palace. This level is particularly important. The top five who enter the Dan Palace will be teleported to the main hall of the secret realm after they obtain the corresponding number of elixirs and spiritual plants stored in the Dan Palace. In the main hall are some powerful magic weapons, skills and my inheritance that I stored back then."

"However, not everyone can obtain my inheritance."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou was slightly excited.

Jin Yangzi said again: "The first person to enter the Dan Palace can take away 25 items at will in the Dan Palace."

"The second person to enter the Dan Palace can take away 20 items, the third person can take away 15 items, the fourth person can take away 10 items, the fifth person can take away 5 items, and from the sixth person onwards, each person can only take away two items."

Jin Yangzi paused and continued: "I set up the third level test questions. The first two tests tested the cultivator's consciousness and memory respectively. Only cultivators with strong consciousness and memory are qualified to become a good alchemist."

"This third level test is to test the cultivator's alchemy skills!"

Sure enough, just as Ye Zhou had guessed before, Jin Yangzi was indeed an old predecessor who loved alchemy, and the inheritance he left behind was to test the ability of alchemy.

And this is exactly what Ye Zhou is good at.

After saying that, Jin Yangzi waved his sleeves, and a jade slip placed on a wooden rack quickly floated in front of Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou respectfully took the jade slip.

Jin Yangzi continued, "Here is a jade slip that contains a recipe for a pill called Qingling Bodhi Pill."

"As long as you can successfully refine the lower-grade Qingling Bodhi Pill within three times, you can pass this level smoothly."

"Of course, if you have superb alchemy skills and refine higher-quality pills, I will not only send you to the Alchemy Palace, but also give you some extra opportunities."

As soon as Jin Yangzi finished speaking, before Ye Zhou could ask what the opportunity was, the light emitted from the bronze mirror suddenly dissipated, and Jin Yangzi's figure disappeared.

Ye Zhou tightly grasped the pill formula, thinking with a serious face: "Just refining pills is so easy? This level seems to be much simpler than the previous two levels, but is it really so?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou released his consciousness to explore the jade slip.

After a while, Ye Zhou had carefully explored the pill formula in the jade slip and found that in addition to the large number of spiritual plants required to refine the Qingling Bodhi Pill, there was no difficulty in the refining technique.

This discovery made Ye Zhou feel a lot heavier than before exploring the pill formula.

Ye Zhou thought for a moment and found that he had no clue, so he suppressed his doubts for the time being and began to prepare the spiritual plants needed to refine the Qingling Bodhi Pill.
