Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 313: Alchemy Palace
"What...what is this?"
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw that there was such a huge underground palace under the floating island.
Both Li Muchan and his group, as well as the masters from both the East and the West, took a deep breath, their eyes widened in shock.
Shangguan Xiaoxian's eyes sparkled, and she whispered, "It seems this floating island is quite mysterious. I'm afraid it has a great origin."
It would take more than three to five years to build such an underground palace. The cost must be unimaginable. Moreover, who could afford such a large sum of money in such a vast overseas area?
Li Muchan looked carefully. Although he knew there was something else going on under the island, he did not expect it to be such a shocking scene.
Others also leaned forward to look, but the distance was still too far to make out anything.
But while they were still watching, some people had already rushed towards the pit, with excitement in their eyes, as if there were some priceless treasures hidden underneath.
"They are about to go down. Should we go down and take a look?" Ding Linglin asked.
But she regretted it as soon as she said it.
After all, everyone present had experienced the battle of Chang'an Underground Palace. It was no exaggeration to say that they had escaped death. If there were any traps underneath, it was self-evident what the outcome would be.
Ye Kai looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "There must be a trap down there."
This place was different from Chang'an. There was still a glimmer of hope in the underground palace of Chang'an, but where was the hope here? They were struggling to survive on the vast ocean. If there were traps or mechanisms, it would be a sure death.
"Even if there's a trap, we have to go down there," Li Muchan said without hesitation, then continued, "Zhu Da and his men, along with those Western masters, no matter who wins, will be the next to go after us. How can we retreat? Besides, Shen Lang and the others are missing, and Li Tanhua and the Flying Swordsman have disappeared without a trace. We can't just sit there and wait for death."
Sun Xiaohong said hurriedly: "Then I'll go down."
“No!”
"no!"
"Don't!"
…
Ye Kai and others hurriedly stopped them.
Li Muchan turned to look at Li Yaoshi. This man was stubborn and would never give up unless he saw Wang Lianhua with his own eyes. He would definitely go down.
Their eyes met, and Li Muchan said thoughtfully, "The three of us will go down, and the rest of you stay up here. The island is no longer safe, so try to leave room for retreat. If you think the situation is not right, don't worry about us, just withdraw."
The three of them are Li Yaoshi, Shangguan Xiaoxian, and Li Muchan himself.
Ye Kai smiled bitterly. Although he was confident in his skills and that he was the best in the martial arts world, he also knew at this moment that the person in front of him was definitely more confident than himself and had more strength to investigate.
"Then be careful. I'll be outside ready to pick you up at any time."
Pharmacist Li rubbed Ye'er's face affectionately, handed her over to Ding Linglin, and warned her, "You should be careful too."
Li Muchan took another look at the treasure ships on the beach, and seeing that the masters on them were gone, he knew that the other party must have landed on the island.
As the mystery on the island became apparent, the forces that had been fighting each other just now changed direction and rushed towards the big pit.
The fighting continued along the way, with screams and roars coming one after another.
"Ahahahaha, the overseas fairy island, this is indeed the legendary overseas fairy island."
Someone didn't know what he had witnessed, and suddenly burst into laughter and exclaimed.
…
Many people have grabbed the cut vines and started trying to explore the deep pit.
"Overseas fairy island?" Li Muchan's eyes changed, and then he whispered, "Let's go!"
While everyone's attention was drawn to the underground palace, the three of them quietly retreated from the treetops, hid under the moonlight, and moved towards the deep pit.
Just now, there was a flame bursting out from it, but in just a moment, the flame quickly dimmed and retreated.
Many people were still fighting, but as soon as they approached, their eyes lit up, and there was only shock and surprise on their faces. Then they jumped in without hesitation.
Seeing these people so reckless and forgetful about their own lives, Li Muchan couldn't help but wonder what they had seen.
When the three of them got around to the other side and were closer to the deep pit, they took a closer look and all of them held their breath and slowed down their pace.
Li Muchan's face suddenly froze, and he murmured in surprise, "I finally understand why it's called the Overseas Fairy Island."
But below the pit, apart from a corner of the underground palace, there was actually a huge alchemy cauldron about six or seven feet high. It was covered with rust, and the surface was mottled and old. There was a faint flame rising from the bottom, which was very unusual.
This is not an underground palace at all, it is clearly an alchemy palace.
Beneath the cauldron stood an octagonal stone platform, with steps descending in layers, their height and depth unknown. Around it stood numerous ancient bronze artifacts, depicting cranes soaring through the sky or children holding eternally burning lamps. Outermost stood eight massive stone pillars, carved with cloud patterns, so thick that they required several people to embrace them, a truly magnificent sight.
What is even more incredible is that there are bursts of medicinal fragrance wafting out of the alchemy cauldron, and there are also bursts of flames, as if some kind of magic medicine is being refined.
Li Muchan's eyes flickered with brilliance as he said calmly, "His origins are indeed unusual."
Shangguan Xiaoxian looked around with interest. "This island must be where those people discovered the elixir of immortality. Haha, look at this alchemy cauldron and those bronze artifacts. They are so old that they are almost impossible to trace and identify. I guess they must have been left behind by some extraordinary person in the martial arts world."
"A strange person?" Li Muchan said noncommittally, "A lunatic is more like fool, or maybe he's a lunatic just like Zhu Da."
He looked at it carefully again, and thought that the flames under the cauldron were rising day and night, making the stone shell on top more brittle and hard. After a long time, it finally broke.
The outline of some palaces could be seen at the edge of the firelight. Although there were signs of repairs, they were still in ruins. In some places, only the foundations were left, and in others, there were broken pillars everywhere, as if they had experienced some turmoil and were in a dilapidated state.
While they were stopping to look around, many people had already fallen to their deaths on the stone platform.
Some people were still fighting, while others were killed by hidden arrows. The scene was in chaos.
"Quick, open this alchemy cauldron."
Some people couldn't wait and gathered all their internal strength, smashing the huge tripod with their fists and palms.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the upper half of the alchemy furnace exploded unexpectedly, and the fragile net was somewhat unexpected.
Everyone looked over hurriedly, but it would have been better if they hadn't looked. When they looked, their faces turned pale and they stepped back in horror .
"Oh My God……"
However, he found that there were no elixirs or magic medicines in the cauldron, but piles of bones.
Not only were there bones, but there were also many exotic flowers and herbs used in alchemy. Mixed together, the bones in the cauldron looked almost like wax, making people sweat and feel creepy.
Even Shangguan Xiaoxian spat with a gloomy expression, "Using humans to make elixirs? Truly devoid of conscience."
Those who had been rushing forward one after another just now were all startled awake at this moment.
At this moment, several black shadows suddenly appeared from under the moon and flew into the Dan Palace below.
"Um, a flying swordsman?"
