Chapter 586

This 'old god' was quite thoughtful and made a tomb for himself on the cliff. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably leave without seeing the corpse.

Jiang Yuan stood on the cliff, looked down at the water, and then jumped directly down.

This pool of water is at least ten meters deep, and there is a spring below, so the water is not only clear, but also has no peculiar smell and has a refreshing taste.

There was a splash of water, and Jiang Yuan's figure appeared at the bottom of the pool.

The water is more than ten meters deep, and no matter how clear the water is, it will blur people's vision.

Therefore, Qin Wen, Qin Wu and Li Wei standing on the shore could not see Jiang Yuan at all.

Jiang Yuan stood on the stone at the bottom of the tan, looked around, and then fixed his gaze on a square stone pillar over one meter long and as thick as a thigh.

Behind this stone pillar is a large boulder.

Jiang Yuan's eyes wanted to pass through this huge rock, but he didn't know why he was hindered.

Jiang Yuan reached out and grabbed the boulder, but he didn't move it for the first time.

It wasn't until Jiang Yuan used most of his strength to move the boulder.

A dark hole appeared behind the boulder.

The pool water poured into it instantly, and a suction force immediately rushed Jiang Yuan inside.

Jiang Yuan didn't resist and got in directly.

This entrance was obviously man-made, and there are still traces of digging on the cave wall.

The passage is about ten meters long, with only the front section going down and the steps at the back sloping upward.

Jiang Yuan stepped on the steps and walked up slowly.

Not surprisingly, at the end of the steps is a man-made stone chamber, which only has the same entrance and exit that Jiang Yuan came in just now.

The stone chamber is not big, about five meters in diameter, and is in the shape of a trigram. There is a coffin in the middle. If you look closely, you can see that the coffin is made of a huge golden nanmu with a diameter of more than one meter and a half.

Jiang Yuan was also surprised. He didn't expect this old god to be so extravagant.

Of course, golden nanmu was also used to make coffins in ancient times, but these were used by top dignitaries, and legend has it that their bodies could remain incorruptible for thousands of years.

Jiang Yuan's eyes fell on the coffin, but he couldn't see through it either.

Jiang Yuan looked around and found nothing else in the stone chamber.

If there is a secret, it must be in this golden nanmu coffin.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, clasped his fists at the coffin and said, "Senior, I'm offended."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan put his hand on the coffin lid, and walked his fingers along the gap in the coffin lid. Suddenly, he exerted force and inserted his finger into the gap.

Jiang Yuan let out a low roar and pulled up with both arms, and the coffin lid was instantly opened with a ten centimeter gap.

In an instant, dazzling white lights shot out.

Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed and he suddenly lost his focus.

Jiang Yuan's eyes can see jewels and jewels, which are invisible to ordinary people.

But the light just now was a real light, the kind that anyone could see.

Jiang Yuan's eyes fell on the coffin.

What surprised Jiang Yuan was that there were no corpses in such a precious coffin.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan directly lifted the lid of the coffin.

There were only two things placed inside, an ancient book, a piece of silk cloth, and a small bottle that seemed to be made of copper.

This small bottle was lightly engraved with some mysterious patterns and runes that even Jiang Yuan could not recognize.

Jiang Yuan frowned, glanced at the ancient book, and reached out to pick it up after making sure it was not damaged.

There is no writing on the cover, but it must have been turned over repeatedly because the whole book does not look very flat.

After opening it, Jiang Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

Because there are a few calligraphy written on the first page - alchemy notes!

This old immortal is actually an alchemist!

Jiang Yuan learned from Yuan Bin that alchemists were a rare and sacred profession in the past. However, hundreds of years ago, alchemists disappeared as the art of alchemy was lost.

Then this

How did an ‘old god’ become an alchemist?

Jiang Yuan just pondered for a moment and figured it out, and then it was verified on the second page.

The second page is the life story of this ‘old god’.

The name of the 'Old Immortal' is Yue Qingsong. He was born in the late Qing Dynasty. He accidentally obtained a book left by an alchemist hundreds of years ago. After repeated research, he became an alchemist.

.

It's just that extraordinary people are extremely rare. Although Yue Qingsong has great achievements in learning, he has no use for it. In addition, he has reached the end of his life, so he went to live in seclusion in Li Wei's village.

Jiang Yuan continued to flip through the pages and found that there were hundreds of kinds of elixirs recorded, with different functions, and detailed instructions on materials and refining methods.

Moreover, Yue Qingsong also said that his biggest regret was not finding a good alchemy cauldron.

When Jiang Yuan saw this, he immediately felt that he was very lucky, because his Danding was salvaged from the pond in Jiangjiacun.

Jiang Yuan looked at it carefully and found that he had never heard of the pills recorded on it.

Regardless, when Jiang Yuan turned to the last few pages, his face suddenly became happy.

Because one of the pages actually records the Spiritual Enlightenment Pill!

But then Jiang Yuan frowned.

Because Yue Qingsong marked on this page that he spent decades thinking about the method of refining the Qiling Pill, but in the end he only worked out half of it, and even the recipe for making the pill was incomplete.

There are also some experiences above.

According to Yue Qingsong, at least five to ten materials are needed to complete this elixir recipe, but he has not researched what materials they are.

On the last page, Yue Qingsong said that even though he put a lot of effort into leaving his things here, he also knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. He just hoped that the person who found this place would be interested in the art of alchemy and not ruin him.

of hard work.

As for his corpse, Yue Qingsong said this: We are born between heaven and earth, and we should return to heaven and earth after death.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Jiang Yuan could guess that he should have been cremated.

Jiang Yuan was immediately in awe of this old god. Maybe he was not very strong, but his spirit of disdain to study the alchemy path was worthy of Jiang Yuan's admiration.

He did not use the precious golden nan coffin to preserve his bones, but instead used it to protect this alchemy notebook.

Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely not insult your life's hard work."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan carefully put the book away.

Then Jiang Yuan looked at the silk cloth again. After opening it, he found that it was a map embroidered with gold thread, with some special places marked on it.

Jiang Yuan looked overjoyed, because the things marked on them were actually some places with strong spiritual energy in the country.

Yue Qingsong said that he traveled all over the country in search of elixirs for making elixirs, and finally found a few places where there were a lot of elixirs.

The map was very detailed and Jiang Yuan quickly memorized it in his mind.

There is also the small copper bottle. According to Yue Qingsong, it is an ancient object he obtained. It can lock the medicinal properties of the elixir without losing it. It is a spiritual object!

Jiang Yuan put all three things into his arms.

You need to study the elixir book yourself, this bottle should be used to contain the refined elixir, and this silk cloth should be kept as a souvenir.

When Jiang Yuan swam out of the water again, he quickly landed ashore.

Qin Wen said with excitement on his face: "Brother Jiang, have you found it?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "We're done, you can go back."

"Where's Li Wei?"

Qin Wen smiled and said, "I just said that I had a stomachache, so I went to find a place to deal with it."

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and waited with Qin Wen and Qin Wu for almost half an hour, but still did not see Li Wei come back.

Jiang Yuan's eyes flashed, "Something may have happened."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan gathered the energy in his body around his eyes and looked around, and sure enough he found traces of Li Wei's aura.

People from several big aristocratic families actually followed us quietly!

Jiang Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, "You were careless!"

"Brother Jiang,

What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuan said coldly: "We were under surveillance. We didn't cover our whereabouts when we came, and those few followed us."

"Li Wei has been captured by them."

When Qin Wen and Qin Wu heard this, their faces suddenly became serious.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said: "They are only two kilometers away from us now and are observing us with telescopes. We should not show that we know about their existence for the time being."

"In this way, we set a trap to lure them out."

With that said, Jiang Yuan asked the two of them to come closer and whispered something to them.

After a while, Jiang Yuan and Qin Wen left.

Two kilometers away.

When people from several aristocratic families saw Jiang Yuan and Qin Wenzhen returning the same way, their faces were filled with doubts.

After waiting for half an hour, they didn't come back.

They began to rush towards Qin Wu.

Qin Wu was sitting by the pool, planning to light a fire, and also found some branches to build a shack.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he came back suddenly. When he saw people from several famous families, Qin Wu stood up with a face full of surprise.

"How did you find this place?!"

Suddenly, Qin Wu's expression changed drastically, "Where is Li Wei? Did you catch him?"

"It seems you are not stupid," a middle-aged man smiled, "I didn't expect you to be able to find this place. It saved us a lot of time."

Several people looked at each other and saw one of the middle-aged men walking forward and looking at Qin Wu coldly:

"Next, cooperate with us honestly, otherwise, hum, this will be your burial place!"

"You are dreaming!" Qin Wu said with anger on his face, "I won't tell you anything!"

"It's not up to you!"

The middle-aged man said coldly: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero! You are also an extraordinary person after all, and you should know the strength of our major families!"

"As long as you cooperate with us today, not only will we not harm you, we will also give you a chance to become a guest of several of our famous families."

"You can choose to join any of our major families, and you can enjoy the treatment like a family head. You don't need to do anything at ordinary times. You only need to help solve some troubles at critical times."

"I think if you were smart, you wouldn't refuse, right?"

Qin Wu sneered, "How many aristocratic families? You guys are nothing!"

"Hmph! If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!"

The middle-aged man said something and rushed towards Qin Wu.

Just as Qin Wu was about to fight back, he saw an old man on the opposite side snorting coldly.

Suddenly, Qin Wu's head fainted inexplicably, and before he could react, the man in the middle had already rushed in front of Qin Wu.

He waved his hand violently, and a swarm of dark, ant-sized bugs flew out of his sleeves.

Although these insects were small, they looked very fierce, and they swarmed towards Qin Wu.

Qin Wu's expression changed drastically, and he was caught off guard and wrapped in insects.

The next moment, these insects opened their sharp jagged teeth and bit Qin Wu's body.

Qin Wu quickly said: "Okay, I promise you!"

The middle-aged man snorted with satisfaction, waved his hand, and the insects instantly flew away from Qin Wu's body and got back into his wide sleeves.

"Honestly, what were those two people doing just now?"

Qin Wu looked troubled, "There is a stone chamber under this pool."

"There were some things in there that couldn't touch the water, so they went back to get tools."

"How long will it take to get back?"

"It will take at least five or six hours."

Several people looked at each other and saw several people walking to the lake together.

The oldest old man looked at the middle-aged man who was controlling the bug and said, "Please, Master He, please keep an eye on this kid here. Let's go down and have a look."

He Zun frowned, "I'll trap him with my bugs, and then go into the water with you. There will be more than one person, and there will be more than one to take care of him."
