Chapter 332: Chapter 330 Medicinal Pangolin_i
The interior of the palace was extremely spacious, traces of various prohibitions and formula methods remaining everywhere, attesting to the fierce struggles the earliest cultivators who entered must have undergone. Lu Xuan moved through the palace as swiftly as a wisp of smoke. Within a short while, he halted at the entrance of a spacious pill room.
After sweeping his spiritual sense inside and finding no anomalies, he floated into the pill room.
Before he could even start to carefully search the pill room, suddenly, a gentle woman cultivator followed him in.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan, she was initially taken aback but her expression relaxed soon twafter.
“So, it’s Friend Lu.”
Friend Qi, what a coincidence to bump into you here in the palace.”
Lu Xuan had some recollections of this gentle woman cultivator. They were acquainted at an auction organized by the Aurora Business Association. She, along with another cultivator in the foundation establishment first-term stage, had settled down and were leading a secluded life on a small island.
According to Shi Zhong’s introduction, this woman had a remarkable insight into alchemy.
Your couple has always stuck together. It is strange to see Friend Qi alone. Where’ s Friend Zhang?”
Lu Xuan looked a bit guarded. The couple excelled at combined attacks and were very rarely apart in their actions due to their deep affection for each other. “My husband has gone to other parts of the palace. If Friend Lu wishes to meet him, I can call him here.”
The woman cultivator politely replied, while she and her husband had lost contact with each other when traversing the strange stone array. After entering the palace, they had to act separately due to various factors.
However, she dared not show any signs of weakness in front of Lu Xuan for fear that he harbors malicious intent.
“Ha ha ha, there’s no need for that. This is not an excellent place for socializing.”
Lu Xuan subtly glanced at the grayish pupil in his hand and laughed. “Friend Lu, why don’t we each explore a different area of this pill room peacefully?”
The woman cultivator suggested.
“Let’s do as Friend Qi says.”
Lu Xuan isn’t a person given to reckless killing and seeing the gentle woman cultivator adopting such an attitude, he naturally went along.
Both of them, keeping their magic talisman at hand, were on guard against each other, each choosing an area to search meticulously.
A faint medicinal aroma lingered around the pill room. At the central area, over ten pill furnaces were placed, each fixed with a prohibition. Seeing them of ordinary quality, Lu Xuan dismissed the idea of breaking the prohibition and taking the furnaces away.
On each side of the room walls, towering wooden shelves stood. Some remnants of spiritual medicines were still on them but had all dried up with their medicinal properties completely lost, turning into various powders at a slight touch.
“Friend Lu, have you found anything?”please visit ” sitestorys(.)c0m ” maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
The woman cultivator asked Lu Xuan after carefully searching her designated area without finding anything valuable.
“No, only some withered herb, and some pill furnaces of low worth.”
Lu Xuan replied casually.
“Same here.”
The woman cultivator sighed lightly and returned to search her area again thoroughly.
“Friend Lu, I will not waste more time here, I’ll take my leave.” Soon, she said to Lu Xuan from a distance and went straight out of the pill room.
Lu Xuan gently nodded, contemplating with furrowed brows.
He always felt that something was wrong here.
There’s nothing inside the pill furnaces, and all parts such as the base and the inner wall of each furnace had been thoroughly checked, with no elixir recipe or anything found. All the spiritual medicines on the shelves have withered. Then where did the faint medicinal fragrance I smelled when I first entered come from?”
After advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm and his flesh body being repeatedly enhanced, Lu Xuan’s senses had reached an extremely formidable level.
He took a deep sniff, again keenly aware of the faint medicinal scent pervading the Pill Room.
The medicinal scent was barely discernable, and he lost all sense of it as soon as he stepped out of the Pill Room.
“It seems there must be something hidden here.”
A faint material began to appear around Lu Xuan’s pupils as his Breaking Illusion Eye Technique activated, and he discovered a few faint bits of spiritual light in the Pill Room.
The spiritual light was floating irregularly in the Pill Room, and despite Lu Xuan’s current mid-stage Foundation Establishment Spiritual Sense, he couldn’t properly perceive it.
“However, merely discovering the spiritual light is not enough, these lights are so elusive, unpredictable, I must find a way to make them appear.” As Lu Xuan pondered, he suddenly has a flash of inspiration and pulled a second-grade Spirit Gathering Pill from his storage bag.
Since this is a Pill Room, then an elixir may resolve the current situation.”
The Spirit Gathering Pill, supported by Spiritual Power, floated in mid-air of the Pill Room.
Under the operation of the Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, the few spiritual lights gathered around the Spirit Gathering Pill as their center.
“It really works!” Lu Xuan was delighted.
He focused on the Spirit Gathering Pill, when suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
The Medicinal Pangolin, a fourth-grade strange insect at the larval stage, is almost invisible. It likes to feed on the Pill Toxin within Pill Furnaces and ’ Elixirs during alchemy. It can automatically clean and maintain Pill Furnaces, preserving their quality, and even slightly improve the quality of the Elixirs.] “Such delights truly exist, it is not in vain that I roam this world!”
“Medicinal Pangolin… So that’s where it comes from.”
Feeling the ideas transmitted by the spiritual light about the medicinal pangolin, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“It likes to devour Pill Toxin within Pill Furnaces and Elixirs. What is poison for others is honey for it.”
Every medicine has its toxicity. Elixirs, despite their magical effects like enhancing and restoring Spiritual Power and healing injuries, contain minor amounts of Pill Toxin. Low-quality Elixirs contain more Pill Toxin.
The Pill Toxin hidden in a Cultivator’s body over years could negatively affect their cultivation and breakthroughs.
The Pill Toxin in the Pill Furnaces was even worse.
However, the Medicinal Pangolin can devour and cleanse the Pill Furnace and Elixirs of their Pill Toxin, maintain the Pill Furnace, and improve the quality of the Elixirs – making it best auxiliary for an Alchemist.
It s still at the larval stage. I can capture it and raise it.”
Lu Xuan was deeply interested in this medicinal pangolin larva.
However, the problem at hand was how to capture this medicinal pangolin larva.
Although he had more or less determined its position, the Medicinal Pangolin itself was elusive. If he wasn’t careful, he might alert it.
So, he must aim accurately and successfully capture it in one go.
Lu Xuan pulled out a Fourth Grade Xuan Yin Pill from his storage bag, increasing the enticing effect.
The Xuan Yin Pill, sourced from the light cluster reward of the Ghost Faced Stone Mushroom, was a valuable supplement for ghost cultivators and yin beasts. It was two grades higher than the Spirit Gathering Pill and was naturally more tempting for the Medicinal Pangolin.
Using his Breaking Illusion Eye Technique, Lu Xuan saw that the spiritual lights surrounding the Xuan Yin Pill brightened slightly.
He quietly took out the White Bone Demon Puppet and threw it at the Xuan Yin Pill floating in mid-air.
“Go, Bone Ball!”
Upon nearmg the Xuan Yin Pill, the terrifying Bone Ball transformed into a huge net and captured both the elixir and the nearby medicinal pangolin.
Before the medicinal pangolin could react, numerous holes in the net quickly formed a thin bone membrane, making the entire white bone huge net windproof.
Then, under Lu Xuan’s spiritual sense control, the huge net began to shrink continuously, confining the movement range of the medicinal pangolin.
