Chapter 222 What are you doing!
After calming down for several days , Li Yu felt that he had come out of the influence of the illusion.
Until he walked into the secret cave he had seen in the illusion.
He was a little confused again.
The stone chamber was exactly the same as the one in the illusion, even the furnishings inside were exactly the same.
Li Yu didn't even need to open it to know that on the wooden shelf on the right, the leftmost pill bottle on the second layer contained ten Barrier Breaking Pills, and the pill bottles next to it were all filled with Infant Pregnancy Pills, adding up to dozens of pills.
In other pill bottles, there are recovery pills for the Nascent Soul stage, and several bottles of "Nine Revolution Pills" that can directly improve the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage.
As for low-level elixirs like the Golden Spirit Pill and the Tuomai Pill, they are not worthy of appearing on the medicine shelf at all.
After being stunned for a long time, Li Yu took a tentative step forward.
There was no change inside the stone chamber.
Unlike the ruins outside, where the items inside would decay even with the slightest breeze, everything here was extremely stable. Li Yu picked up a pill bottle, opened it, and could even smell the rich fragrance of the pill.
These pills look like they were just made.
Moreover, the quality of the pills is extremely high, and each pill has five dan patterns on it.
Obviously, this secret cave is independent of the secret realm of Piaomiao Immortal Sect, and everything in the cave will not be destroyed by the years.
This should be the reason why these pills can be preserved for so long.
The map of mountains and rivers even took this into account.
After a brief thought, Li Yu gradually calmed down and figured out some things.
It’s not that reality and illusion are the same, but that illusion is deduced based on reality.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers was originally an immortal weapon created by Piaomiao Immortal Sect. It knew the existence of this secret cave. When the Map of Mountains and Rivers weaved the plot of Piaomiao Immortal Sect's appearance in the world based on Li Yu's memory, what was presented in the illusion was the Piaomiao Immortal Sect it knew, not Li Yu's.
In the illusion, this secret cave helped him a lot.
Li Yu didn't expect that this time of practicing in the illusion would bring such an unexpected gain.
With these barrier-breaking pills, Ali, Zixuan and the others no longer have to worry about their state of mind. As long as their cultivation is sufficient, one barrier-breaking pill can help them break through to the Nascent Soul level of state of mind, without having to enter the Mountain and River Map for deduction.
This also means that Senior Sister Xu does not need to enter the Mountain and River Map to experience it.
Li Yu hurriedly put away the pill bottles, left this space, and came to the outside of Piaomiao Xianzong. He used the spirit snail to contact Jiang Li and asked, "A Li, where is Senior Sister Xu?"
In the spirit conch, Jiang Li said: "Senior Sister Xu is by my side, what's wrong?"
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Tell Senior Sister Xu not to let her experience the illusion in the Mountain and River Map. Illusory memories will affect reality. I found a secret cave in Piaomiao Xianzong. There are elixirs in it that can directly improve the state of mind..."
Jiang Li said, "But Senior Sister Xu came out of the illusion two days ago, and we are now preparing to return to Kunlun. Do you want to talk to Senior Sister Xu yourself?"
Li Yu immediately said: "No need, no need..."
After putting away the conch, Li Yu remained silent.
What he worried about finally happened.
If he had known about this secret cave earlier, he would not have entered the Mountain and River Map. But if he had not entered the Mountain and River Map, he would not have known about the existence of such a secret cave...
It seems that everything is destined.
Li Yu walked into Piaomiao Immortal Sect and returned to the secret cave.
The area of this stone chamber is not small, but there are actually not many things in it. On a row of wooden shelves on the right, there are rows of pill bottles, which have just been put away by Li Yu.
Among them, there are some pill bottles on the top layer of the wooden shelf. Judging from the order in which the pills are placed on the shelf, these pill bottles should contain higher-level pills, but they are empty.
The wooden shelf on the left is filled with books.
Li Yu looked carefully. These books involved exercises, alchemy, refining, talismans, formations, mechanical techniques, etc. Most of the contents overlapped with those recorded in the jade slips he obtained. The difference was that almost every page of these books had dense annotations and insights, and the handwriting of all the books was the same, obviously written by the same person.
This seems to indicate that tens of thousands of years ago, the owner of this secret cave was a versatile person who was proficient in all kinds of immortal cultivation.
Being able to open up a cave inside the only statue in Piaomiao Xianzong, this person must have a high status in Piaomiao Xianzong.
Soon, Li Yu saw a portrait on a wall of the stone chamber.
The portrait shows a man in white clothes, with a tall stature and a handsome face. He looks like an immortal, elegant and otherworldly.
This portrait does not exist in the fantasy world.
The first time Li Yu saw the portrait, he felt it was very familiar. The next moment he realized that the man in the portrait was exactly the same as the statue outside.
However, based on the portrait alone, we cannot conclude that the owner of the cave is the person in the portrait.
Li Yu looked at the portrait and once again felt the unusual fluctuations coming from the Qiankun Furnace in his chest.
He looked down. In the illusion , the Qiankun Furnace had not undergone such changes. However, when facing the map of mountains and rivers, and those imitations of immortal artifacts, it often had such reactions.
Especially when facing this portrait, Qiankunlu's reaction was extremely strong.
Li Yu was almost certain that the Qiankun Furnace was a thing from the era when Piaomiao Immortal Sect existed. It was very likely that it belonged to Piaomiao Immortal Sect, and it should have some relationship with the man in the portrait.
Something must have happened in that era that caused the powerful Piaomiao Immortal Sect to disappear directly. The Qiankun Furnace was also severely damaged and almost shattered. It has not been completely repaired to this day.
In the illusion, he had repaired the Qiankun Furnace to 99% completion, but just when it was about to be repaired, the giant hand fell from the sky, and then he returned to reality.
Li Yu collected all those books. These things could inspire the development of alchemy, talismans, and refining techniques in the current world of immortal cultivation, and could be studied slowly by the disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect.
There were not many things in the stone chamber, and Li Yu quickly emptied it.
Only after confirming that there was nothing useful here did Li Yu leave.
Although he himself could not use the elixirs found in this cave, others still needed them, especially those bottles of elixirs that could improve the cultivation level of Golden Elixir.
There is no elixir in today's world of immortal cultivation that can directly improve the cultivation level of the Golden Core Stage, not even in the previous era.
But in the era of Piaomiao Immortal Sect, there was a kind of elixir called "Nine Revolutions Pill". Taking one pill could improve the cultivation level of a Jindan-stage cultivator by one revolution.
The Nine Revolutions Pill is also recorded in the jade slips of Piaomiao Immortal Sect.
This kind of elixir is a top-level fourth-grade elixir. With Li Yu's current strength, he is unable to refine it even with the help of the demon girl.
Li Yu has studied the recipe of this pill. This pill sounds very powerful and can make the cultivation of the immortal cultivators in the Golden Core Stage leap forward. But in fact, it is just like that, because the most important main ingredient of this pill is the golden core of the immortal cultivators or the demon race.
Directly refining other people's golden elixirs can also have the effect of taking the Nine Revolutions Pill.
The difference is that the Nine Revolutions Pill is made of golden elixir as the main ingredient, supplemented by some precious spiritual medicines. It has a higher utilization rate of golden elixir energy and can save about half of the waste. It was developed by the top alchemist of Piaomiao Immortal Sect in order to reduce the waste of mana.
Li Yu still has a large number of golden elixirs in his hands, and they are all top-level golden elixirs. After he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he will be able to refine the Nine-Transformation Pill.
The most precious part of this kind of elixir is the main ingredient of the golden elixir. The other spiritual medicines can be found in the spiritual medicine warehouse of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Together with the several bottles of elixirs he obtained from this cave, at least everyone around him can cultivate their single spiritual veins to the peak of the Golden Core.
When leaving here and returning to the place where he practiced, Li Yu saw a figure standing alone beside the spiritual spring, staring at the surging spring water in a trance.
Li Yu was a little worried about Senior Sister Qin's condition.
The reason why he could get rid of the influence of the illusion memory so quickly was not because of his firm determination, but because of the help of the Qiankun Furnace. However, for Senior Sister Qin, her cultivation level from the peak of Poxu realm dropped to Jindan realm in an instant . Her three thousand years of practice was nothing but a dream. If it were the demon girl, she would probably not be able to accept such a blow.
Li Yu walked to her side and asked softly: "But... Senior Sister, are you okay?"
Qin Keren shook her head gently and said, "I'm fine."
Although she said so, she looked obviously haggard and her hair was a little messy. Li Yu habitually reached out his hand to help her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. Qin Keren did not dodge and stood there quietly.
She looked at Li Yu, and looking at this extremely familiar face, her body suddenly trembled, and her eyes gradually became tender.
Facing this tender gaze, Li Yu's body also shook. Deep in his mind, the suppressed illusion memory quickly took over.
Under the suppression of three thousand six hundred years of memory, the memory of only thirty years could not withstand a single blow and was instantly pushed into the depths of the memory.
"Karena..."
"Um."
Li Yu held her face gently, his eyes also containing affection that had accumulated for thousands of years.
The Qiankun furnace in his chest continued to emit warm currents, trying to wake him up, but all of Li Yu's thoughts were trapped in these watery eyes.
He gently lifted the thin veil. Qin Keren also anticipated what was about to happen and slowly closed her eyes.
Just as their lips were about to touch, a figure came flying rapidly from a distance.
Nangong Chan covered Li Yu's mouth with her hand, angry and anxious, with shame and disbelief, and shouted: "What are you doing!"
