Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

"Look!" Jiang Qiong pointed to the center of the canyon and shouted.

There are two gargoyle sculptures standing on both sides of the lava.

This gargoyle had its fangs and claws bared, and its eyes flashed a strange red light. Under the reflection of the magma, it looked particularly eerie and terrifying.

As soon as the three people stepped into the range of the ice mirror, the gargoyle suddenly came to life as if it was awakened.

When they flapped their wings, a wave of heat rushed towards us, the air was distorted, and we felt uncomfortable all over.

"It's a guardian puppet!" Nan Fengxue reacted very quickly and immediately formed seals with his hands.

In the blink of an eye, twelve ice walls rose from the ground and surrounded the three of them.

Jiang Qiong was also not vague. He danced the soft sword in his hand quickly, and the sword light intertwined in the air to form a dense net, covering the gargoyle.

Lang Nana was muttering something, and vines emerged from the ground, like green pythons, and wrapped around the gargoyle's ankles.

The battle was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was gloomy. The gargoyle was extremely powerful and could smash the ice wall to pieces with a flap of its wings.

Although Qiong's sword was sharp, it could only leave shallow marks on the gargoyle's hard shell;
Lang Nana's vines finally entangled the gargoyle, but the high temperature from it made it smoke. The three people and the two gargoyles fought back and forth for a full hour.

Finally, with Jiang Qiong's sharp sword light, the head of the last gargoyle was pierced.

It shook a few times, then fell to the ground with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust.

Looking at Jiang Qiong and the other three, they were all exhausted and panting. Cracks appeared on Nan Fengxue's ice mirror, just like a spider web;

There used to be a group of Lang Nana's psyllies, but now there were only three left, flying feebly above her head;

Jiang Qiong's soft sword no longer had the sharpness it had at the beginning, and several gaps appeared on the blade.

"Hurry up!" Jiang Qiong quickly took out the last spiritual stone and stuffed it into the compass. The star map on the compass reappeared.

The three people stepped on the ice bridge made of ice by the south wind and snow, and carefully crossed the canyon. As soon as they stepped onto the other side, they heard a loud noise behind them.

Looking back, I saw that the road I came from had been buried by collapsed rocks, and the raised dust covered the sky.

The three of them didn't have time to think about it and continued to move forward. Not long after they walked, they found that the entrance to the mine was hidden in a forest of stones.

The entrance of the cave was covered by a thick layer of vines, like a big curtain. Jiang Qiong said nothing, swung the soft sword, and cut the vines in a few "swishes".

But at this moment, two huge dark-blood wolves rushed out of the cave with a "howl".

This dark blood wolf is very scary. Its fur has a metallic luster, as if it is wearing a suit of armor. The figures of three people are reflected in its blood-red pupils, which makes people feel creepy.

"Watch out for their saliva!"

Lang Nana yelled, and her vines quickly wrapped around the neck of a dark blood wolf.

But the saliva of the Dark Blood Wolf was too corrosive. As soon as the vines wrapped around it, a big hole was corroded and smoke came out of it with a crackling sound.

Jiang Qiong's sword cut several wounds on the Dark Blood Wolf, but the Dark Blood Wolf seemed to be fine. It just shook its body and was not affected much at all.

Nan Fengxue seized the opportunity and shot the icicle in his hand towards the eyes of another Dark Blood Wolf.

But the Dark Blood Wolf reacted quickly and dodged the ice spikes by shaking its head.

"Their weakness is in the throat!" Nan Fengxue shouted while forming seals with his hands. The original ice wall instantly turned into sharp ice cones and stabbed towards the lower abdomen of the Dark Blood Wolf.

Jiang Qiong seized the opportunity, and the soft sword turned into a stream of light, piercing into the open mouth of the Dark Blood Wolf and directly penetrating its cervical vertebrae.

The Dark Blood Wolf didn't even make a sound before it fell to the ground with a thump and became motionless.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other dark-blood wolf turned around and tried to escape, but Lang Nana's vines had already entangled its limbs and dragged it into the cage built by Nan Fengxue with an ice wall.

After the Dark Blood Wolf's corpse turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated, a rumbling sound came from deep within the mine, as if some large creature was moving around.

The three men stepped into the mine cautiously, and were stunned by the scene before them.

There were giant stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave, each as thick as a thigh, emitting a soft red light, illuminating the entire mine red.

The walls of the cave were densely covered with red flame crystals, which flickered in the darkness like a red galaxy, extremely beautiful.

"Quick, collect ore!"

Jiang Qiong quickly took out the jade box and used the soft sword in his hand like a sharp knife to cut the red flame crystals on the cave wall. Nan Fengxue used ice crystals to stabilize the loose rock walls to prevent them from collapsing.

Lang Nana released the remaining three Psylockes and let them fly around in the mine, looking for the best quality ore.

The three were busy when suddenly there was a cracking sound from the cave ceiling. Looking up, they saw a giant stalactite swaying and falling.

Jiang Qiong was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He swung his soft sword and a ray of sword light shot out, shattering the stalactite in time.

Gravel fell like raindrops, and at this moment, Lang Nana's vines suddenly froze in mid-air.

Her face turned pale, and her voice trembled a little:
"Something is approaching."

The three of them quickly stood back to back in a triangle. Jiang Qiong raised his soft sword, and the sword light flashed.
Ice crystals condensed in Nan Fengxue's hands, gleaming with cold light;
Lang Nana's vines are also ready to go.

In the darkness, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up, and then the sound of wolf howls echoed in the mine, making people's scalps tingle.

"It's the Dark Blood Wolves!" Nan Fengxue's face changed, and the ice in his hand began to condense quickly, "There are more than thirty of them!"

Jiang Qiong carefully put the last piece of Red Flame Crystal into the jade box, then turned the soft sword in a circle in his palm and shouted:
"Nana, use your vines to seal the cave entrance. Fengxue, protect our rear. I'll lead the way!"

After saying that, Jiang Qiong rushed to the front, brandishing his soft sword. His sword flashed like lightning, drawing silver arcs in the darkness;
The icy spikes of the southerly snow shot towards the wolves like raindrops;
Lang Nana's vines were like a big net, blocking the dark blood wolf that tried to rush in at the entrance of the cave.

The three of them cooperated very well and fought their way out of the wolf pack.

When they finally got out of the mine, it was drizzling.

The raindrops hit their faces covered in sweat and blood, feeling cool.

Looking back, the mine had been blocked by collapsed rocks.

In the distant clouds, they could vaguely see several dark shadows circling, as if someone was watching them. "Hurry up!" Jiang Qiong clenched the blood-stained soft sword in his hand and shouted, "The Shadow Alliance is chasing us."

The three people were running desperately in the rain, and the red flame crystals in the storage bags collided with each other, making crisp sounds.

After running for a long time, they finally saw the outline of the county town.

But at this moment, Jiang Qiong suddenly staggered and fell to the ground with a plop.

Nan Fengxue quickly ran over to check, and saw a black feather arrow stuck in Jiang Qiong's back. There was purple demonic energy wrapped around the arrow shaft, which looked evil.

"Hold on!" Lang Nana took out the antidote in a panic, but her hands were shaking so much that the bottle almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Qiong gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and tore off the feather arrow. Black blood immediately flowed out of the wound, which was heartbreaking to watch.

"First... Let's go back to the Casting Pavilion first."

He struggled to stand up, and the soft sword in his hand drew a long bloody mark on the ground.

As the three men supported each other and stumbled to push open the door of the Foundry Pavilion, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky blood red, like a tragic painting.

As soon as Nan Fengxue entered the door, he quickly activated the defensive formation to protect the Foundry Pavilion.

Jiang Qiong leaned against the refining furnace, looking at the red flame crystal flashing in the storage bag, a tired smile appeared on her face.

"This time...it wasn't a wasted trip." He muttered to himself, but his consciousness became increasingly blurred.

Before he lost consciousness, he vaguely saw an ancient rune emerging from the furnace. The rune was exactly the same as the array they had seen in the mine, exuding a mysterious aura, as if telling an unknown secret...

Lang Nana was extremely anxious and rushed into the pharmacy like a whirlwind.

Her eyes were like two beams of anxious light, quickly scanning the medicine cabinets. She pulled open the drawers one after another. Every time she found a herb, she picked it up hastily, her movements were so frantic as if she was racing against time.

In a short while, her arms were filled with all kinds of herbs, and she then piled them next to the alchemy furnace.

The formula of the antidote this time is extremely demanding. The main ingredient is Ice Spirit Grass, which grows in extremely cold places where few people go. The leaves are crystal clear, as if they were carved out of ice and snow. Each leaf exudes a chill that penetrates the bones, as if it has condensed the essence of ten thousand years of ice and snow.

As an auxiliary medicine, the petals of the green marrow flower are light emerald green and tender. The juice flowing from the stamens sparkles with light and exudes an extremely fresh breath, as if it can awaken the dormant vitality.

In addition, a few drops of water from a thousand-year-old cold pond are needed as a medicine. The water in this cold pond contains the sedimentation of endless years, and it is icy cold and extremely pure.

Lang Nana gently picked up the Ice Spirit Grass, her hands trembling slightly, as if she was holding the most precious treasure in the world. She carefully placed the Ice Spirit Grass into the furnace, then quickly danced with her hands, her ten fingers fluttering like nimble butterflies, instantly forming a complex seal.

Below the alchemy furnace, the light blue Samadhi True Fire suddenly jumped up with a whoosh. The flame was extremely hot, yet as stable as a calm lake, without a single sway. It was the indispensable flame for refining high-level elixirs.

Under the scorching heat of the Samadhi True Fire, the Ice Spirit Grass seemed to awaken from a deep sleep. Its leaves gradually became soft and slowly melted into a pool of clear blue liquid, gently rippling in the alchemy furnace and emitting a cold blue light.

Then, Lang Nana picked up the green marrow flower.

Her eyes were focused and pious, and she picked the petals one by one, her movements so gentle as if she was afraid of disturbing this fragile life.

Every time she plucked a petal, she paused, carefully observing the changes in the blue liquid in the furnace, and then controlled the size and temperature of the Samadhi True Fire by subtly adjusting the seal.

The petals fell into the liquid, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing tiny ripples, which then slowly blended with the blue liquid, making the originally single blue color gradually become richer, with a hint of green.

However, just as she was about to add the last auxiliary medicine, Tripterygium wilfordii, her fingers fumbled in the drawer of the medicine cabinet for a long time but still could not touch the familiar touch of the herb.

Her face turned pale in an instant and her eyes widened. "Oh no!" she cried out in surprise, her voice full of despair.

She turned her head abruptly and looked at Nan Fengxue who was waiting anxiously at the side, her eyes full of anxiety and helplessness: "Fengxue, Sanyeqing is gone. This medicine can't be refined without it!"

Nan Fengxue's already solemn expression instantly became even gloomier when she heard this. A hint of determination flashed across her eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, she said in a decisive tone:

"I'll go to the Treasure Sales Pavilion and buy it now. You must keep the furnace steady!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure blurred in an instant, turning into a blue light, and rushed out of the Foundry Pavilion with a "whoosh", leaving only a gust of wind whistling through the room.

The southern snowstorm was like a blue meteor, speeding through the streets of the county town.

Along the way, the houses and pedestrians on both sides were left far behind her, leaving only blurry afterimages.

Soon, she arrived at the treasure-selling pavilion.

This towering building is majestic and imposing. It is one of the largest trading places in the county. It is bustling with people coming and going on weekdays. Today, it has gathered cultivators from all directions, and there are all kinds of rare treasures and precious medicinal materials on display.

Nan Fengxue was so anxious that he had no time to care about the hustle and bustle around him.

She rushed into the pavilion like an agile cheetah and ran towards the medicinal materials area with a clear goal.

As soon as she entered the medicinal materials area, her eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and she searched eagerly on the densely packed shelves.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second that passed made her heart more tense.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, she found those three-leaf green plants.

The tender green leaves and slender vines were exactly the medicinal herbs she had been searching for.

"Boss, I want this three-leaf green."

She hurriedly spoke to the waiter beside her, her voice trembling slightly with anxiety.

The waiter slowly raised his head, looked her up and down, and said slowly:
"Sir, this three-leaf green is a rare item, and the price is not cheap."

Nan Fengxue was extremely anxious at the moment and had no time to bargain with him.

She quickly took out a bag of spirit stones from her storage bag and threw it on the counter with a "pop" sound: "Is it enough?"

The clerk stretched out his hand and weighed the bag, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face:
"That's enough, sir, please take it."

Nan Fengxue grabbed the three-leaf green, turned around and ran towards the Foundry Pavilion, running even faster than when he came, as if there were countless ferocious beasts chasing him.

At this time, in the foundry pavilion, Lang Nana was standing by the furnace, sweating profusely. (End of this chapter)
