Daily Intelligence: From Miner to Dao Ancestor of Alchemy and Talismans

The boulder in front of them slowly moved half a foot to the side, revealing a stone door that could only be passed through by one person. The door was covered with the marks of time, but it was not damaged at all.

The concealment formation was easily broken just like that.

Xu Yuan did not rush in.

He took three steps back, gripped the Earth Talisman in his arms tightly, placed his fingertips on the Blazing Flame Talisman, and listened intently to the sounds behind the stone door.

There was no sound, no fluctuation of spiritual energy, not even the slightest hint of killing intent.

He took out a low-level illumination talisman, activated his spiritual power with his fingertips, and the talisman ignited. He then threw the illumination talisman into the stone gate.

The warm yellow light instantly illuminated the entire cave, revealing the entire interior.

The cave dwelling was small, only about half the size of a room. It was dry and clean, without a trace of mold, clearly indicating that an array had isolated it from the outside wind and rain. In the very center of the cave dwelling, a skeleton sitting cross-legged rested quietly against the stone wall. The skeleton was entirely white, and even after decades, it still emitted a faint aura of spiritual energy. The residual pressure alone made Xu Yuan's meridians tighten slightly.

Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

Moreover, he was by no means an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. The fact that his bones still retained spiritual power decades after his death suggests that he was at least a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator or higher during his lifetime.

Xu Yuan waited for another half an incense stick's time to confirm that there were no mechanisms triggered or hidden restrictions in the cave before carefully stepping into the cave, clutching the Thick Earth Talisman.

The stone door slowly closed behind him, cutting off the morning light from the outside world. Only the faint light from the talisman in his hand remained in the cave.

He first walked to the skeleton and bowed in respect.

Regardless of the circumstances, he inherited someone else's legacy, so this gesture of respect is only right.

After performing the ritual, he carefully scanned the skeleton and the entire cave with his divine sense, confirming that there were no restrictions on the skeleton and no hidden compartments or traps on the cave walls. His gaze finally fell on the stone wall beside the skeleton.

There was an inconspicuous crack there, which was the entrance to the secret room.

Xu Yuan didn't try to break it open directly. Instead, following the instructions in the intelligence report, he infused spiritual power into the three corners of the stone wall in turn.

With a soft "boom," the stone wall slowly slid open, revealing a secret chamber less than two feet square inside.

In the very center of the secret chamber, there was a completely black stone box, locked. The lock was covered with runes, but it was not offensive; it was just an ordinary sealing lock.

With a flick of his fingertips, Xu Yuan easily shattered the copper lock and slowly opened the stone box.

The contents of the box were clearly visible in the light of the luminous talisman.

At the very top is an ancient book bound in thread, with six characters written in ancient seal script on the cover: "Complete Collection of First-Order Elixir Formulas".

Xu Yuan almost stopped breathing as he reached for the ancient book, his fingertips trembling slightly.

He opened the book, which was filled with pill formulas, ranging from the most basic Vitality Powder and Rejuvenation Pill, to Spirit Gathering Pill and Spirit Explosion Pill to aid cultivation, to Detoxifying Pill and Meridian Protection Pill to heal injuries and detoxify, and even Breath Concealing Pill to temporarily hide one's aura and Talisman Spirit Pill to enhance the power of talismans...

There are over a hundred kinds of first-tier pills, each one clearly described, including the formula, proportions, heat control, and even how to salvage a failed pill.

Previously, the alchemy inheritance he possessed only contained six first-tier pill formulas, all of which were the most basic. But this comprehensive book completely filled the gaps in his alchemy skills!

Xu Yuan suppressed his excitement and continued scrolling down.

The last few pages of the ancient book contained half a yellowed animal hide, covered with densely written medicinal herbs and refining steps in cinnabar. There were burn marks on the edges, indicating that it had been forcibly torn off.

At the very top of the animal hide were three large characters written: Foundation Building Pill.

A fragment of the Foundation Building Elixir formula!

Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He stared intently at the half-finished prescription, which recorded the ingredient ratios and core refining techniques for 70% of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Only the final three main ingredients and the pill-condensing steps were missing.

Even if it's just a fragment of a prescription, it's priceless!

As long as he can complete the remaining parts, he can refine Foundation Establishment Pills himself and no longer have to depend on the Zhao family or fight tooth and nail for those few Foundation Establishment Pills that are priceless!

Inside the stone box, besides ancient alchemy books and incomplete formulas, there was also a palm-sized alchemy furnace, entirely crimson, with fine cloud patterns engraved on its body. It was warm to the touch, and its spiritual energy was contained within. Just by looking at it, it was hundreds of times better than his previous ordinary alchemy furnace.

Top grade pill furnace!

Beside the alchemy furnace was a bulging storage bag. Xu Yuan probed it with his divine sense, and his eyes lit up instantly. It was full of alchemy materials, hundreds of first-grade spiritual herbs, each with more than a dozen portions, and even a few rare second-grade herbs. It was enough for him to refine hundreds of batches of pills, and he would never have to worry about medicinal materials again.

He didn't rush to leave; his gaze returned to the lifeless skeleton.

When he was bowing earlier, he noticed that the skeleton's right hand was clenched tightly, as if it were holding something.

Xu Yuan squatted down and gently pried open the skeleton's finger bones.

Two things were lying quietly inside.

A yellowed leather diary and a jet-black token with a sharp, blood-red character "煞" engraved on its front.

It was exactly the same as the token he had found in his storage bag before!

Xu Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted. He picked up the diary and slowly opened it.

The handwriting in the diary, from neat to messy, records the last three years of this alchemist's life.

This alchemist, whose Taoist name was Qingxuan, was originally a revered alchemist of a small sect in the surrounding area. Three years ago, the Blood Fiend Sect suddenly massacred his sect. Of the more than two hundred people in the sect, only he escaped with his inheritance; none survived.

The Blood Fiend Sect is a heretical cultivation organization that entrenched itself over tens of thousands of miles around. It is led by three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and employs hundreds of heretical cultivators. They make a living by massacring scattered cultivators in markets and small sects. Wherever they go, nothing is spared, and their souls are annihilated. Their methods are extremely cruel.

They hunted down Master Qingxuan because of the alchemy inheritance he possessed, and the secrets about the ancient talisman he had accidentally obtained.

The alchemist Qingxuan was hunted for three whole years, fleeing all the way to Qingya Village. Exhausted and near death, he could only hide in this cave and pass away peacefully. And in the last few pages of his diary, he wrote down a secret that sent chills down Xu Yuan's spine—

The Blood Fiend Sect's true target was never him, but the ancient talisman hidden in the Zhao family ancestral hall in Qingyafang.

He fled to Qingyafang by sheer accident, stumbling into a trap that the Blood Fiend Sect had already laid out.
