People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 120 Life Devouring Pill

The last time Su Qian returned to Canaan Academy, he was in a hurry to go into seclusion to break through, so Chen Xiao and Zi Yan were unable to reminisce with him.

This time, taking the opportunity to send Queen Medusa in, we can sit down and have a good chat.

The change of ownership of Fengcheng and the changes in the situation in the Black Horn Region have had some impact on Canaan College.

The most intuitive thing is that from now on, those students who go to the Black Horn Region for training can go to Maple City to seek refuge when they encounter danger, which greatly reduces casualties.

"This is a great thing for the academy. To be honest, when Han Feng was still around, I was a little worried about him. After all, he was the only sixth-grade alchemist in the entire Black Horn Region, and the attraction of strange fire to alchemists goes without saying. Now that Han Feng is gone, I can rest assured."

"You have just settled in Fengcheng. You have enough combat power above the Dou Wang level, but there shouldn't be many mid-level and low-level personnel available. Every year, a group of students will graduate from the inner courtyard. I will tell them when they graduate. If they don't know where to go, they can come and join you. That way, they will have a place to stay for the time being, and you will also have manpower available."

Listening to Su Qian's proposal, Chen Xiao nodded in agreement.

This is a win-win situation, there is no reason to refuse.

After reminiscing with the Great Elder for over an hour, Chen Xiao left Zi Yan behind, took away a batch of ancient books he had never read, and went alone to the attic where he used to live, to visit a few of his fellow residents.

Especially Cao Hui, they were friends before, and now they have a relationship with the Cao family. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, they can basically be said to be relatives.

One night's idle chat is not worthy of being written down.

The next day, early in the morning.

Chen Xiao, who was practicing, was awakened by the crunching sound of Zi Yan chewing.

"Where are we going to hunt for treasure?"

Seeing Chen Xiao open his eyes, Zi Yan quickly swallowed the pill in her mouth, wiped her hands, put away the jade bottle, stood up and asked.

"Tianyin Mountains!"

...

The mountains are rolling and undulating, like dormant dragons lying across the earth. This mountain range is full of miasma and is shrouded in dark clouds all year round, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate, making the entire mountain range appear dark and depressing.

The Tianyin Mountains got their name from this.

At the foot of the southeastern Tianyin Mountains lies an old-established force in the Black Horn Region, the Tianyin Sect.

Its leader, Yin Gu Lao, is also a well-known five-star Dou Huang powerhouse on the blacklist.

"This Tianyin Mountain Range seems to be even larger than the Magic Beast Mountain Range in the Gama Empire. What exactly are we looking for?"

Stopping high in the sky, Zi Yan looked down at the hazy mountains below, very curious about the purpose of this trip.

"To be precise, it should be considered a legacy." Chen Xiao replied after a little consideration.

"I can't do anything about that. I can only sense the treasures of heaven and earth."

Zi Yan spread her hands, indicating that she could do nothing to help.

Being able to sense natural treasures and naturally controlling the power of space is already enough to make people envious. If one can even sense inheritance, then how can others survive?
Chen Xiao shook his head and chuckled, "It's okay. We have plenty of time to search. Just pay attention to those hidden places, such as caves."

For ordinary people, searching for a skeleton in the vast Tianyin Mountains is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But Chen Xiao and Zi Yan are both Dou Wang powerful warriors, and they are determined to search for it. It is only a matter of time before they find it.

What's more, Chen Xiao had a similar experience before.

The opportunity in the cave in the Warcraft Mountains was very similar to this one.

As for the current situation, it is known that Xiao Li was being hunted and fled into the Tianyin Mountains. By chance, he obtained the Life-Devouring Pill. After taking it, he jumped from a Great Fighting Master to a Fighting King.

So, from this information, we can first rule out the direction where the Tianyin Sect is located.

After all, with Xiao Li's strength, he simply did not have the ability or courage to enter the Tianyin Mountains from the direction of the Tianyin Sect.

Furthermore, there are so many people in the Tianyin Sect, and they must be familiar with the area close to their sect. The possibility of the inheritance being there is extremely small.

Also because Xiao Li's strength is too low, those areas in the Tianyin Mountains that have fourth-level or above magical beasts can be excluded first.

Just like this, with a simple screening, the scope of search is instantly narrowed down several times.

"Constrain your breath and don't scare the monsters inside. We should pay more attention to the areas where low-level monsters are active..." Chen Xiao briefly explained the search plan to Zi Yan.

Zi Yan nodded heavily and restrained her breath as instructed.

After determining the direction, the two immediately began an in-depth search from the southwest of Tianyin Mountains. This was because this direction faced the center of the Black Horn Region. Chen Xiao brought Xiao Li into the scene where he was being chased, so the probability of him escaping into the mountains from here should be the greatest.

Chen Xiao originally thought that even if they had a lot of information, it would still take the two of them ten days or half a month to find the target.

However, the surprise came unexpectedly.

In just less than three days, he sensed a crack in a small valley that was buried by rocks and almost invisible from the outside.

"So simple?!"

Zi Yan smashed the pile of rocks into pieces with a punch, and looked at the narrow gap that was revealed with a look of surprise.

From the time they entered the Tianyin Mountains until now, the two had not encountered any threats at all. The strongest magical beast was only level three, which was equivalent to the level of a human Grand Fighter.

In the past, even when she was looking for medicinal herbs in the mountains, she had to fight with those monsters every time to harvest them, which took a lot of effort. Now, suddenly it was so smooth and unbelievable that she felt quite uncomfortable.

"Let's go in and take a look first. We're not sure if this is the place we're looking for."

Chen Xiao was somewhat prepared. After all, this was an opportunity even Xiao Li could obtain, so the risks involved couldn't be high, and luck played a larger role. Zi Yan nodded slightly, leaning sideways and squeezing into the pitch-black cave first.

Chen Xiao took out the moonstone for lighting and followed closely behind.

The passage was extremely narrow, only as wide as the side of an adult. Fortunately, both of them were of normal build. If it were a fat person like Queen Medusa with a curvy figure, she would probably be stuck at the entrance.

After walking sideways for dozens of steps in a crab-like posture, the passage gradually became normal and could be walked on normally.

After following the winding passage for a few minutes, the two finally reached the end and came to a doorless stone chamber of about 20 square meters.

With the soft light emitted by the moonstone, the two of them could see the situation inside the room at a glance.

A stone table, a stone chair, and a stone bed.

There was nothing on the stone table, and a pale skeleton was sitting slumped on the stone bed.

Next to the right arm of the skeleton, there were some miscellaneous items and two jade bottles emitting a faint red glow.

Apart from this, there is nothing else!
"That's it?"

Looking at the simple furnishings in the room, Zi Yan felt a little disappointed.

Chen Xiao embedded the moonstone in his hand into the stone wall for illumination and stepped forward.

From the first moment he saw the skeleton, he was certain that this was the place he was looking for.

"Don't underestimate this guy. He is at least a seventh-grade high-level alchemist."

Chen Xiao waved his fighting spirit to sweep away the dust and searched through the pile of debris.

However, the ring was found, but Chen Xiao was surprised to find that the collection inside could only be described as embarrassing, not even one percent of his net worth.

The martial arts and fighting skills were only some below the Earth level and were not worthy of being shown on the stage. The pill recipes were all common ones, and even the medicine cauldron that was essential for alchemists was nowhere to be seen.

The entire ring, except for a blood-red scroll, had nothing that could attract Chen Xiao.

"This doesn't look like the wealth of a high-level alchemist."

Chen Xiao felt very strange, and immediately released his soul power to carefully explore the entire stone chamber, but still found nothing.

"Hey, I know the reason. Look at this."

Just when I was feeling confused, Zi Yan giggled and threw a note over.

Chen Xiao opened it, and what caught his eye were some essays written by the skeleton's owner before his death.

To summarize it briefly, he was not from the Black Horn Region. He fled to the Black Horn Region because some of his things were coveted. He was already seriously injured and could not even make medicine to save himself. In order to survive, he auctioned off his most valuable fighting skills, even pill formulas and medicine cauldrons, etc. in the Black Horn Region and exchanged them for healing items. Unfortunately, in the end, he was still unable to save himself.

The helpless owner of the notebook could only accept this result and entered the Tianyin Mountains in despair, until he finally passed away here.

"It's unexpected, but it also seems reasonable."

Chen Xiao sighed lightly and put the notebook aside.

In the original trajectory, Xiao Li came here by chance. Among the things he could get, the most valuable ones were only two Life-Devouring Pills and the Life-Devouring Pill formula.

This is far from consistent with the assets of a high-level alchemist. If you think about it carefully, you can find the abnormality in it. There must be a reason.

Now this note provides a reasonable explanation.

The owner of the notebook was robbed because of creating the recipe for the Life-Devouring Pill, so it makes sense that he brought this "ominous thing" underground.

As for the soul cultivation method, this thing is too precious, even in Zhongzhou. No one in the Black Horn Region can afford the corresponding price.

Perhaps that's why I was able to stay.

"These two pills look so strange. They give me a completely different feeling from ordinary pills, but I can't tell exactly how they're different."

Zi Yan picked up the two jade bottles on the stone bed, looked at them and frowned.

When you open a jade bottle, you can see that the pill inside is blood red and about the size of a longan. This pill looks extremely mysterious. At first glance, it is like a transparent bead filled with blood. From a distance, it looks like a tiny eye, and the whole thing has a weird feeling.

"This is a seventh-grade elixir, the Life-Devouring Pill. It has no effect on us. Its function is..."

Chen Xiao briefly explained to Zi Yan the miraculous effects of the Life-Devouring Pill, which even Yao Chen was amazed at, and which had caused a stir in the Central Plains.

After hearing this, Zi Yan didn't take it seriously.

"Relying on it to build an army of Dou Wang-level warriors? Are those people in Zhongzhou stupid? How can a seventh-grade elixir be so easily mass-produced? Instead of relying on this Life-Devouring Pill, wouldn't it be easier to cultivate it with elixirs like the Douling Pill and the Huangji Pill?"

There is some truth in what he said.

However, the Life-Devouring Pill is not so useless. The most amazing thing about this pill is that it ignores the talent of the user. Even if you are a pig, it can help you become a Dou Wang.

Although the sequelae are serious.

"You're right. Let's go. It's time to go back. We got two Life-Devouring Pills and the recipe. This trip was worthwhile."

After rubbing Zi Yan's head, Chen Xiao waved his hand and collected the skeleton on the bed.

The moment the skeleton entered the ring, it disappeared like light smoke.

At the same time, a reminder of the subsequent completion came to my mind.

This time the cycle is even shorter than expected!
