Chapter 83 Master Lu remained skeptical of this.
Unfortunately, this wisp of black energy only possessed the most basic level of intelligence and was completely incapable of communication.
Moreover, it is far too weak, possessing no means of attack other than its shrieking.
Chu Lengyu studied it for a while but didn't gain anything. Then, a flash of spiritual light appeared between her fingers, and she annihilated it without a trace.
In her view, the world has a sparse spiritual energy, so it is only natural that some weak evil spirits or spiritual objects would emerge.
However, she never imagined that she would encounter evil spirits in the palace today.
Now that she has seen this, Chu Lengyu is even more confident that she can find some useful precious materials.
Fortunately, she had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so the urgency of breaking through to the Core Formation stage was not high, and she had enough time to prepare.
Upon closer reflection, I realize that the challenges ahead will be even greater.
Even though the portable spiritual spring solved the problems of insufficient spiritual energy and slow recovery speed, the problem of material shortage still exists.
Moreover, Chu Lengyu highly doubted whether this world with its sparse spiritual energy could truly contain materials suitable for Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even higher levels.
In response to her question, the system replied:
This realm will have sufficient materials to support the host's cultivation needs.
"General?" Chu Lengyu's eyes flickered slightly.
Will the world undergo tremendous changes in the near future?
Could it be that a spiritual revival is about to occur, the world will change, and all things will be renewed?
She snapped out of her thoughts and chuckled softly, "Alright, I look forward to that day."
The system fell silent.
Looking around, Chu Lengyu saw a desolate scene and realized that this place was probably the Cold Palace, where resentment lingered, which was not surprising.
With a soft sigh, she turned and left, her steps light and graceful, leaving no trace of dust.
……
Inside an ancient palace in the distance.
The door to the room was slightly ajar, its surface engraved with intricate ancient seal script, subtly revealing a sense of vicissitude and solemnity accumulated over the years.
As you push open the door, a faint medicinal fragrance mingles with the intense heat of the fire, instantly enveloping you.
The interior layout is exquisite, with various alchemical furnaces and cauldrons arranged in a staggered and orderly manner, some simple and elegant, others with unique shapes.
The fire roared, leaping with golden flames, both intense and pure.
The surrounding bookshelves were filled with all sorts of medicinal herb illustrations and alchemy manuals.
In the very center of the alchemy room, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a blue robe, sat with his eyes closed on a futon.
At this moment, as if sensing something, he opened his eyes, let out a soft exclamation, and muttered to himself, "That underwater evil has actually been eliminated? How strange, how wondrous."
That evil creature has been entrenched underground for years, avoiding the world and venturing out. It is extremely cunning. Even a highly skilled and insightful person like him can only sense its existence but find it difficult to eliminate.
Over the years, he had made several attempts, but all of them failed because the evil thing was so well hidden and so clever in its escape.
The old man was somewhat surprised that the evil creature had been dealt with quietly, wondering which expert had made the move.
I feel a little regretful that I was unable to resolve this matter myself.
He struck the bronze bell beside him, and a palace servant entered the room, respectfully addressing him, "Master Lu, please give your orders."
The old man pointed to the small porcelain bottle on the table and said, "I have examined this pill. It is indeed a rare and miraculous medicine with no other side effects. However, I have exhausted all my efforts to develop this formula, and I can only produce one or two tenths of it."
As he spoke, he took out several thin sheets of paper, which were covered with tiny writing.
He explained, “Another 30% was deduced by me. I only know its general medicinal effects, but not its specific name or appearance. But the remaining materials are beyond my imagination.”
This elixir is truly miraculous.
"Thank you for your trouble, Master Lu." The palace servant respectfully accepted the thin paper and porcelain bottle and placed them on the tray.
Now that the Imperial Medical Academy and Master Lu have both examined the medicine and confirmed that it is non-toxic, it can be presented to His Majesty.
"Wait a moment, I have another question to ask you," the old man called out to him.
"Master Lu, please ask."
"Who is the person who entered the palace today?"
The palace attendant hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard that she is Chu Lengyu, the adopted daughter of the former Duke of Zhenguo, Chu Hanchen."
This matter was not a secret in the palace, and everyone was very curious about what the mysterious girl looked like and what she would discuss with His Majesty the Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Master Lu frowned and pressed for an answer: "Chu Lengyu, is that the person who caused a scene the other day?"
"This... I dare not speak ill of Your Excellency." The palace servant looked troubled, but there was a hint of protectiveness in his words. "But Miss Chu must have real talent and learning."
Although these palace servants lived in the palace, the strange phenomena that appeared in the sky the day before yesterday made no one doubt Chu Lengyu's abilities.
She can change the course of events with just a word; how could a mere palace servant like him arbitrarily judge such a divine figure?
Throughout the entire palace, it seemed that only Master Lu Dan was skeptical of this, and even the palace servants did not understand why he would do so.
"Alright, you may leave." Master Lu shook his head gently, without explaining further to the palace servant.
In fact, he had mastered a technique called Qi Observation, which allowed him to observe the spiritual energy of heaven and earth (the term for spiritual energy in this world).
The so-called "celestial palace," "jade pool," and "fairy maiden" from the other day were all illusions to him, having no real substance.
But this was the first time that Master Lu had ever seen such a grand and exquisite illusion.
Moreover, having lived to such an old age, this was the first time he had ever seen such abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as if the power of heaven and earth had gathered on its own initiative, solely for the use of one person.
He even began to secretly wonder if his family's ancestral art of observing qi was lacking in some way.
How could the fragile human body possibly withstand so much spiritual energy from heaven and earth?
That girl in white must have some other skill or have used some kind of treasure.
The pill she took out was also quite miraculous; Master Lu studied it for a whole day but made no progress.
This tiny pill seems to contain the essence of hundreds of herbs, and the refining method is extremely exquisite, without a trace of smoke or fire. It is as if it were made by nature. Just smelling the fragrance of the medicine can make people feel comfortable all over.
The method of refining this elixir is unheard of, and the formula is so complex that it would take the efforts of several generations. It is very likely a unique inheritance of a reclusive family.
Even in the misty mountains, he had never seen anything so exquisite.
Therefore, Master Lu believed that this medicine might be a legacy from Chu Lengyu's ancestors that he accidentally obtained during his travels and adventures, and that he had specially presented it to curry favor.
This unique and miraculous medicine may very well be the only one left in the world.
Unfortunately, the emperor wouldn't allow him to continue his research any longer.
Sigh, it's just that some alchemists ran away with the pills before, why should we be wary of even a respected elder like him?
Master Lu sighed.
To be honest, he did have a slight urge to possess it.
After all, elixirs that can prolong life are extremely rare.
However... he had many doubts about this suddenly appearing Chu Lengyu, and wondered when he could meet her and find out her background.
If she comes from some hidden force, perhaps there will be an extra seat at next year's Fog Mountain Tea Party.
Master Lu slowly stood up, gazing at the distant sky, and murmured, "This world truly is a place where dragons and tigers hide, and extraordinary individuals emerge in great numbers. I wonder whether this woman's appearance is a blessing or a curse..."
