Chapter 227 The Nine Patterns
The two of them quickened their pace and soon arrived at the end of the corridor and in front of the hall door.

Looking at the hall's entrance, which looked nothing special, Chen Mu used his spiritual sense to carefully inspect it.

"There are no traces of other monks... No one has entered this place yet."

Wei Xingyou nodded when he heard this, and stretched out his hand impatiently, touching the door of the hall.

The two looked at each other and pushed hard.

"Rumble..."

A crack opened up, and suddenly a cloud of extremely thick emerald green mist emerged.

"Be careful……"

Chen Mu frowned, and before he could finish his words, he saw the green mist getting brighter and brighter, and in the blink of an eye it became a dazzling brilliance.

His vision was impaired, so he quickly used his spiritual awareness to surround himself so that he wouldn't be unaware of the approaching danger.

The two paused for a long time, but found that the dazzling light was still there, and there was no sign of it weakening.

"Junior Brother Chen, this doesn't seem dangerous... How about we go in?"

Wei Xingyou's heart moved, and he asked in a low voice.

Chen Mu nodded and did not say anything to stop them, so the two of them walked into the hall together as if they had agreed.

"boom!"

There was a slight sound, and in an instant, the two of them felt dizzy and as if the world was spinning.

After a while, the dazzling light in front of him suddenly disappeared.

The two of them actually entered an unknown place again!
The sky was like a dome, covering a huge jade platform that covered a large area and was at least several thousand feet in diameter.

On the jade platform, there were vaguely arranged blurry objects about ten feet high. At first glance, they seemed endless and difficult to see clearly.

As for the area surrounding the jade platform, there was an even more vast medicinal field that stretched as far as the eye could see, as if it were a world of its own...

"This is……"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Mu was shocked.

"Is this the end? Is this also a secret place?"

He had never heard of the secret realm within the secret realm.

"Brother Wei, do you have any intuition here?"

Chen Mu asked slowly, but waited for a moment but received no reply, so he turned around and saw Wei Xingyou staring blankly at a certain place in the medicine field.

"Brother Wei?"

Chen Mu frowned slightly, followed his gaze, and found a magical herb about a foot long that looked like a jade dragon.

Only then did Wei Xingyou slowly come back to his senses. He said softly with an expression of disbelief, "Zhilong Xuanye, a third-grade top-grade spiritual material... I actually have the honor of seeing its appearance..."

"Third level?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mu's eyes widened and he replied, "Brother, are you sure?"

After saying this, he still had some disbelief and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore the front.

Strangely, when he carefully explored a certain magical herb or flower, he suddenly smelled an indescribable medicinal fragrance that was almost intoxicating.

"No doubt about it... I'm familiar with a wide range of medicinal elixirs, so I often browse through ancient books. I once wrote down the characteristics of the Zhilong Xuanye, and they are exactly the same..."

Wei Xingyou thought for a moment and spoke with certainty, enunciating each word.

Chen Mu's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately waved his hand lightly, generating a strong suction force.

As he had just entered an unfamiliar environment, he did not dare to be careless, so he only used his magic power to test it out.

The jade dragon-like Zhilong Xuanye was seen shaking gently, even the mist surrounding it was blown away and disrupted, but its body was still firmly rooted, without any sign of breaking out of the ground.

Seeing this, Wei Xingyou felt a surge of urgency. He hurried forward a few steps and gently tapped the grass with his hands, hoping to summon the magical herb according to the secret method recorded in the classics.

Unexpectedly, as he made his move, the Zhilong Xuanye that was still shaking suddenly stopped, and then in the blink of an eye it dispersed like clouds and mist, and disappeared in the air.

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he looked at Wei Xingyou with emotion.

"Another hallucination..."

Wei Xingyou also cursed in his heart several times, then turned to the other spiritual medicines in the medicine field.

"This is... the Linghe Flower. It's exactly this plant, and it's pretty much the same as described in the classics. But why is this one more lush on the left side... Yes, on its left side, there's a Huaxuan Wood growing alongside it..."

"This is Chuoyuelan. It sways gracefully like a woman's figure... It can be used as medicine to refine pills used by foundation-building cultivators."

……

Wei Xingyou walked forward, gradually identifying the person and introducing him to Chen Mu.

This not only confirmed the knowledge in the classics in his mind, but also broadened Chen Mu's horizons. In just a short while, he learned about many magical medicines...

The only drawback was that all the elixirs they encountered along the way were illusions, which made the two of them very itchy.

After a long time, the two finally crossed the long road through the medicinal fields and arrived at the most conspicuous jade platform in this world.

When I first came in, the distance was very far, so I could only vaguely see something arranged on the jade table, but I couldn't see clearly what it was.

But when they got closer, they found that the things one after another were not ordinary objects, but alchemy furnaces of extremely uniform style!
"Alchemy furnace?"

Chen Mu looked at the red alchemy furnace in front of him, which was about ten feet high, with his brows slightly frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't this also an illusion?"

He pondered in his heart that he was really reacting subconsciously to the illusions that were everywhere in this secret realm.

Wei Xingyou ignored Chen Mu's questions. His eyes flickered, and from time to time, he showed an extremely strong sense of conflict.

Chen Mu noticed his expression and asked softly, "Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

"For some reason, an irrepressible thought suddenly popped up in my mind... I wanted to touch this alchemy furnace..." Wei Xingyou looked solemn and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Perhaps, this is your destiny?"

Wei Xingyou shook his head: "I can feel it, it's not."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and reached out to touch the alchemy furnace.

"I couldn't control myself..."

The next moment, there seemed to be bursts of bell sounds echoing in the sky, and in the two people's sea of ​​consciousness, a vicissitudes of life and long-standing voice suddenly sounded, echoing.

"One hundred thousand medicine boys have all entered the immortal land, taking the essence of all things and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth... Anyone who can make a high-grade elixir and achieve nine patterns can become a disciple of Dan Ding Tian..."

The sound is faint but deafening.

Chen Mu stood there in a daze, his heart beating fast for a long time.

"Dandingtian? The sect that established this secret realm?"

"But...what does it mean that the pill can form nine patterns? It can actually make someone become a disciple of the inheritance."

The rarity of inherited disciples is even higher than that of true disciples. Just by refining a nine-patterned elixir, one can become a disciple of such a great sect?
"Brother Wei?"

Wei Xingyou's body trembled, and a hint of extremely passionate yearning flashed in the depths of his eyes, which he himself did not even notice.

"Nine patterns...is actually a term used thousands of years ago. It's based on the poisonous impurities in the finished elixir."

"Oh?" Chen Mu's eyes flashed: "I know about erysipelas..."

Wei Xingyou nodded and continued, "A one-patterned pill, with 60% impurities, is essentially ineffective. Instead, it easily accumulates poison and can damage one's foundation... Nowadays, it's what's commonly known as an inferior pill."
