Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 178: Third Level Inheritance
Seeing that Duanmu Qin still dared to get so close to him, Li Ji'an admired her.

We also understand that it is expressing goodwill and trust.

"Fairy, you are too kind. I am just a casual cultivator, all alone and helpless. Everything I do is to protect myself." Li Ji'an smiled indifferently.

"There's no need to explain, Li Lang. I understand everything. If it weren't for Li Lang's self-protection methods today, the five of us helpless cultivators would have died here." Duanmu Qin smiled sweetly, deliberately including the old formation master and his three disciples.

These words really gave the three of them a boost of energy. They had a greater hope of survival and worked even harder to break the restriction.

However, the three masters and apprentices all secretly complained that the couple was really a perfect match, and each one was more secretive than the other.

Soon, the formation master and his apprentice found and marked the weak points of the forbidden formation in the six stone houses designated by Duanmu Qin.

The forbidden magic circle here has been eroded by time and its power has been greatly reduced. If a second-level forbidden-breaking talisman is used, it can be broken, but it consumes a lot of energy. Duanmu Qin had previously discussed with Li Ji'an that twenty second-level forbidden-breaking talismans were needed.

But at this moment, the formation master has marked the weak points of the forbidden formation, and it can be broken with at most two second-level forbidden-breaking talismans.

As for the remaining two stone houses, they are opportunities left for the three of them, the master and his disciples.

After Li Ji'an and Duanmu Qin got the opportunity and left, they would crack it, which would make them feel more at ease.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist. There is no need to trouble you three here anymore. You can go and study your two stone houses first." Li Ji'an thanked him.

The master and his three disciples immediately understood: "Understood, understood. We will not inquire about the opportunity in these six stone houses. We will go to the side to recuperate. Fellow Daoists, please do as you please."

The three of them hurried towards the corner, and on the way they deliberately walked around a stone house and glanced at Fu Hanxing in the innermost corner from a distance.

The first true disciple of the Lieyang Sect, who was once high and mighty, was said to be invincible at the same level except for the true disciples of the Wanfa Palace.

At this moment, it was huddled in a corner in a panic, trying to force out the poison while having to deal with the long tongue of the monster that shot out from the ground from time to time.

Moreover, at this moment, his face had turned black, black blood was flowing out of his seven orifices, his breath was disordered, and his magic power was weak.

"Boom!" Li Ji'an used a talisman to break the ban and hit the weak point of the forbidden magic circle in the first stone house.

"Crack!" Cracks appeared on the magic circle instantly.

"Boom!" After another one, the forbidden magic circle shattered.

This stone house is the alchemy room discovered by the disciple of the formation master before.

Hearing the sound of the magic circle shattering, the old magician's brows jumped, and he was sure that the two of them were using a second-level forbidden-breaking talisman.

Because the forbidden-breaking talisman was specially created for magic arrays, it was much more difficult to draw this talisman than the ordinary five elements talismans of heaven and earth. At the very least, the talisman master needed to study the array in depth and have a clear understanding of the principles of the array.

Ordinary cultivators have limited lifespans. Except for those high-level cultivators who cannot further advance their cultivation and can use the rest of their lives to study a few cultivation skills, other low-level cultivators rarely have the energy to study a second skill.

Therefore, the ban-breaking talisman has always been relatively rare.

Even in some areas with many relics and ancient tombs, high-level forbidden-breaking talismans are hard to come by.

"These two have probably been preparing for this opportunity for many years."

The restriction in the alchemy room was broken, but Li Ji'an did not act rashly.

Duanmu Qin didn't go in immediately either.

However, the two have different ideas.

Duanmu Qin didn't want Li Ji'an to misunderstand that she was trying to steal the opportunity.

Li Ji'an was worried that there was danger inside.

"Then let me go in and take a look first?" Duanmu Qin thought of Li Ji'an's usual safety-first philosophy, and suddenly realized it, so she asked tentatively.

Li Ji'an nodded.

Duanmuqin cast a magical shield and slowly walked in, but she only glanced around the stone house, making no other moves that might cause Li Ji'an to misunderstand. Only after confirming that there was no danger did Li Ji'an enter.

Stepping into the stone house, the layout inside is not much different from that of an ordinary alchemy room. In the middle there is a fire-gathering foundation for the alchemy furnace, a row of medicine shelves on the left, and a wooden table at the back.

The medicine shelf was almost empty, with only three jade plates. The medicinal materials inside had long since withered and decayed, and it was impossible to tell what they were.

"Li Lang." Duanmu Qin found a jade bottle and a jade slip on the table at the back.

Li Ji'an nodded, indicating that it could be opened.

"Is this... the Crystal Condensing Pill?" When the jade bottle was opened, a fragrance wafted out, and a hint of surprise flashed in Duanmu Qin's beautiful eyes.

Li Ji'an took the jade bottle and poured out the elixir inside. Unfortunately, the elixir had been corroded by time and was basically scrapped, with only a faint trace of its medicinal effect remaining.

However, based on its medicinal properties, Li Ji'an was unable to determine what kind of elixir it was or what its effects were.

His understanding of alchemy was based on Master Mo's alchemy and Yan Qingwan's second-level alchemy inheritance. His research and comprehension over the years also incorporated some alchemy information available on the market.

"Fairy, can you tell me the secret of this place?" He didn't even know it, so how could Duanmu Qin, an outsider, know it?

Duanmu Qin realized that she had spoken out of turn, and then she smiled, glanced outside the room, and said in a voice transmission: "As long as Li Lang is willing to listen, I can say anything."

Li Ji'an smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary. I just need to know what's related to this place."

Duanmuqin looked at Li Ji'an with even greater admiration, then transmitted a message: "My ancestor found a jade slip and this jade pendant among the withered bones in the ruins next door. The slip contained instructions for his descendants, stating that he had left them with an opportunity to achieve Dan Formation and also gave them instructions for future affairs. It mentioned a crystal-condensing pill he had developed using reference to Dan Formation spiritual objects. The effect was similar to that of Dan Formation spiritual objects and could help condense a magic pill."

Li Ji'an was delighted.

Being able to develop elixirs that are beneficial to elixir formation by referring to spiritual objects that help form elixir is enough to prove that this person is at least a third-level alchemist.

And given the ancient environment, he was able to study the Dao of Alchemy to the third level. His knowledge and understanding of the Dao of Alchemy must have been extraordinary.

He immediately looked at the jade slip with some anticipation.

"It is indeed the inheritance of the Dao of Alchemy!"

Li Ji'an was overjoyed when he probed with his spiritual sense and saw the records in the jade slip.

It contains not only the inheritance of the third level of alchemy, but also all the experiences and insights from the initial study of alchemy to the first level, second level, and finally the third level.

"These two things belong to Li Lang." Duanmu Qin observed his expression and took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you, fairy." Li Ji'an put away the expired pill and the inheritance jade slip without hesitation.

Apart from this, there was nothing else of value in the alchemy room, and it ultimately could not withstand the erosion of time.

Then the same method was used to break down the other five stone houses.

In one of them, there is a piece of monster leather that was once at least third-level, but now it has lost a lot of spiritual power and has fallen to the middle second level. It can be made into a specific talisman material.

A jade slip of music inheritance was found beside the pillow in the main room. It was exactly what Duanmu Qin had been longing for. He took the initiative to say that the music he practiced was in line with this inheritance.

There was also a wooden bracelet beside the pillow. Li Ji'an couldn't tell the grade, but it obviously had the effect of concentrating spiritual consciousness and preventing spiritual consciousness from detecting it. The effect was much better than the super fine magic weapon forehead protector he bought at the auction that year.

That super exquisite magic forehead guard should have been a top grade magic weapon, which should be able to protect against detection in the middle stage of foundation building. However, due to the erosion of time, its grade has dropped. For the time being, it can only protect against detection in the early stage of foundation building, and has 30% effect on the middle stage of foundation building.

However, this wooden bracelet hindered his spiritual awareness in the late stage of foundation building.

"What the fairy said before about the spiritual objects that can form elixirs and the treasures of heaven and earth must not be a lie to me, right?" Apart from these valuable items, there was nothing else in the six stone houses, and Li Ji'an's biggest hope this time was actually the spiritual objects that the fairy said about forming elixirs.

"How could I lie to Li Lang? The jade slips passed down by our ancestors did say that the younger generation should come here to get the Ningjing Pill, the Seven-Colored Jade Tree and the Qiuli Water, and then go find him after condensing the golden pill." Duanmu Qin explained hurriedly.
