Transmigrating into a book and receiving a system, cannon fodder rises to power by stepping on schem

If Fugui were to gain the ability to find treasure, Chen An would not waste his time. He would simply let it lead him straight to the treasure hidden in the shadows of the clan.

Fortunately, they learned about the Flying Fish Crocodile's abilities before long, so they were able to complete the mission.

The flying crocodile crawls very slowly, but it chose to crawl at this particular moment, as if it were deliberately causing trouble for Chen An.

Chen An strode forward, knelt down on one knee, patted the Flying Fish Crocodile's big head, revealed two rows of white teeth, and said with a malicious smile.

"If you dare to waste my time again, I'll try what it tastes like to make soup with the tail of a flying crocodile."

The flying crocodile's eyes widened, and it flapped its wings and took flight.

Led by it, the group found a secret passage in the house that Chen An had entered.

The floor, indistinguishable from its surroundings, was lifted up, revealing a dark, unsafe cave inside.

Chen An broke off a piece of the rotten pine wood frame and threw it down.

After a few sharp sounds of swords piercing the ground quickly faded away, everything returned to silence.

After breaking off a dozen or so pieces of pine wood of varying sizes, Chen An kicked Cui Sinian, who was trying to escape, into the hole.

Fu Gui knew that Chen An was looking for a treasure, and that he could get three times the reward if he found it, so he immediately jumped down.

The Flying Crocodile fawned over Chen An, wanting to carry her down, but only received a disdainful look from Chen An.

The cave in front of Chen An was indeed quite large, but it was impossible for a flying fish crocodile, whose size was measured in tons, to fly into it.

Seeing that its master was ignoring it, the flying fish crocodile felt very aggrieved, but it quickly understood, composed itself, and landed behind Chen An.

Chen An had to throw wooden blocks before taking each step, with Cui Sinian leading the way.

Between being killed by the machine and being beaten to death by Chen An, Cui Sinian continued to move forward shakily.

It took Chen An nearly an hour to travel a distance of less than one kilometer.

When the space in front of him finally opened up, Cui Sinian suddenly felt relieved and unconsciously quickened his pace.

Seeing his smug expression, Chen An knew that if he took another step forward, something bad would definitely happen.

"stop."

When Cui Si Nian looked back, he didn't forget to keep moving forward.

Fortunately, Chen An appeared behind him and pulled him back.

The moment he was pulled back, countless sharp blades slashed to the ground from where Cui Sinian had just been standing.

"Senior Sister Chen An, you saved me."

When Cui Sinian cried, her nose looked even bigger. Seeing her grateful expression, Chen An decided to go all the way and helped her up.

Although she saved Cui Sinian just now because she was worried that if the follow-up matters were also scattered, she wouldn't have enough manpower.

However, since Cui Sinian was already moved, let him be moved even more.

"I don't care what you did to pick a fight with me. As a fellow disciple, I can't just watch you die like this. I don't expect you to repay even the smallest kindness. If you're willing, help me find more treasures. As long as you find them, I'll give them all to you tomorrow."

"Meow." Fu Gui tilted his head and looked at Chen An with disbelief.

That expression seemed to say, "Weren't you happy when I pushed those two stick insects down?"

Cui Sinian was a spoiled young master who was unaware of the dangers of the world. With the added filter of being saved by his benefactor, he naturally felt that what Chen An said made sense, and his eyes were practically overflowing with admiration.

Chen An smiled and patted Cui Sinian on the back, signaling them to keep walking.

This time, without Chen An's coercion, he took the pine block from Chen An's hand and did his best to eliminate the danger for himself, still rushing to the front line.

Fu Gui quickly followed Cui Sinian, who was being sold out and was even helping to count the money.

Cui Sinian's cultivation level was higher than Chen An's, so his ability to perceive the outside world was naturally stronger.

The group walked another forty or fifty meters, and the numerous traps did not harm them in the slightest.

Taking the final step, a huge alchemy furnace appeared before him, with a thick wisp of green smoke rising from it. The smoke gradually condensed into several words: "I am a clan leader, obsessed with alchemy and seeking enlightenment. I have no sons or disciples. If you are destined to enter but not to be, enter to the right and return."

At the same time, a human-shaped passageway appeared on the right side of the alchemy furnace.

"If you come with sincerity to obtain it, step forward and comprehend the elixir."

Looking at the tightly closed door behind the incense burner, and the path to survival left by the ancient powerful clan leader, Chen An resolutely took a step forward.

After the alchemy furnace in front of me spun, the table on which it was placed transformed into a book on alchemy. To the right of the book was a bag of already refined pills and a few common medicinal herbs.

The moment Chen An took down the alchemy manual and the medicinal ingredients, a ball of blue-purple flame appeared at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

The flames were very weak, and a sense of dying struggle wafted over, accompanied by a thick heat wave.

Almost instantly, Chen An felt that most of the water in his body had evaporated.

She pursed her dry lips and turned to the first page of the alchemy manual.

The above refining method is not difficult, but achieving the purity of the pill on the right is not easy.

Fu Gui was getting restless, wanting to use his own abilities to break down the door in front of him and obtain the treasure.

Chen An reached out, picked up Fu Gui, and carried it on his shoulder.

Fugui liked this action very much. More importantly, it understood Chen An's attitude, so it did not make any rash moves and buried its head deep in Chen An's neck, making a purring sound.

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen An relaxed considerably.

He braved the sweltering heat and began his first alchemy session.

Following the book's instructions step by step, Chen An only managed to obtain three shriveled gray pills. Not only were they ineffective, but the potential side effects of ingesting them were also uncertain.

Fortunately, after this failure, Chen An immediately had another set of the exact same medicinal herbs.

After repeating this three or four times, Chen An was about to continue.

Cui Sinian, who had been quiet to the side, spoke up: "One must incorporate one's own spiritual power into alchemy."

Chen An didn't waste any words, "Can you do it?"

Cui Sinian took the pill from Chen An and skillfully began to operate it.

His family is very wealthy, and they are not afraid of him squandering his wealth. Although he has no talent for cultivating immortality or refining pills, his family is still happy to let him play around.

When he was a child, he squandered a lot of the family's medicinal herbs, which is why he is so skilled at it today.

Seeing how skillfully he operated the equipment, Chen An was quite satisfied to have brought Cui Sinian in instead of taking his life directly.

Three minutes later, Cui Sinian confidently opened the alchemy furnace, but strangely, the original medicinal herbs had disappeared.

Cui Si Nian looked around several times, afraid that he hadn't performed well.

Chen An looked at the unchanging, reappearing medicinal herbs and understood them all perfectly.

As an ancient powerful being, Zu Long's alchemy skills are beyond doubt, and his spiritual power far surpasses that of most people. These medicinal herbs are merely illusions conjured by him.

Chen An can only rely on himself to pass his test.

No matter how many times he fails, the clan leader will not blame him; otherwise, he would not have used basic beginner-level pills to test him.
