Chapter 410 Alchemist
Chapter 410 Alchemist
Wu Ming looked at Shadow Rat's actions, and he naturally understood why Shadow Rat was so eager to snatch the two storage bags.
Because he had told Shadow Mouse before that there might be precious items hidden in the storage bag, so he must not let them go if he saw them.
So, after that, collecting the storage bags became Shadow Mouse's task.
Wu Ming could actually understand the behavior of these casual cultivators. He was well aware of the hardships and difficulties they faced on the path of cultivation.
However, the other party actually attacked him first, so it was not Wu Ming's fault.
Although he had some sympathy for these wandering cultivators in his heart, at the critical moment of life and death, he would never show mercy out of sympathy. After all, one thing is one thing.
However, when Wu Ming's eyes fell on the two storage bags in the shadow rat's claws and the body of another monk in the room, his doubts were instantly answered.
He also understood why the cultivator attacked him without hesitation upon seeing him. The reason was actually very simple - they both discovered the alchemy room at the same time and fought over an uneven division of the spoils.
So, when the monk saw Wu Ming suddenly break in, he was afraid that Wu Ming would take away his opportunity, so he decisively chose to strike first and attempted to kill Wu Ming.
"Squeak, squeak!"
The voice of Shadow Mouse rang happily in Wu Ming's heart, and it was obvious that it was in a good mood.
"Wu Ming, look, there are two storage bags here! There must be a lot of delicious food in them. You must share some with me when the time comes!"
Wu Ming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. He gently touched Shadow Mouse's furry little head and responded softly:
"I know. Don't worry, I will definitely not forget your share."
After saying that, he carefully took the storage bag from Shadow Mouse's claws and put it in his arms, preparing to carefully check the items inside later.
Then, Wu Ming's gaze fell on the flying sword of the wandering cultivator.
Although this flying sword is only a low-grade magic weapon, for Wu Ming, even a small mosquito is still meat, so he will not let it go easily.
So, he put away the flying sword without hesitation.
After putting away his flying sword, Wu Ming began to look around the room.
He looked around and found that this room was obviously an alchemy room.
In the center of the room, a furnace with its lid opened stood proudly on the side, as if telling of its former glory.
However, the alchemy furnace was empty at this moment, obviously the two wandering cultivators had already opened it and checked.
Wu Ming walked forward curiously and gently touched the furnace.
He was surprised to find that this was actually a top-grade magical furnace!
It’s a pity that the two wandering cultivators were only concerned with the elixir in front of them and completely ignored the most important thing in the room.
You should know that the value of a top-grade magic weapon is usually around one thousand spiritual consciousnesses, which is a considerable number.
However, the value of a top-grade magical furnace is 30% to 50% higher than that of an ordinary top-grade magical weapon!
So this alchemy furnace is also a nice surprise for Wu Ming!
However, the existence of this alchemy furnace also confirmed some of Wu Ming's guesses.
He could now be certain that the owner of this cave must be a foundation-building cultivator, and most likely also an alchemist.
After all, only an alchemist at the Foundation Establishment stage would have such a high-quality alchemy furnace.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Since the owner of the cave is an alchemist, the elixir he left behind might be able to help with his injuries.
So, Wu Ming carefully put away the alchemy furnace and then turned his attention to the three bottles of pills in the room.
The three bottles of pills were tightly protected by a shield. After careful observation, Wu Ming found that this shield was not just an ordinary defensive restriction.
It can not only effectively protect the elixir from external interference and damage.
It can also absorb the surrounding vital energy of heaven and earth, continuously providing nourishment for the elixir, thereby maintaining the medicinal properties of the elixir at all times and preventing the loss of efficacy.
However, Wu Ming was puzzled by the fact that the medicinal pills in the jade bottle still needed to be preserved with a formation to maintain their efficacy. Did they have to keep the pills for hundreds of years?
You know, usually, the jade bottle used to hold elixirs has the function of preventing the loss of medicinal effects. So why did the owner of this cave go to such great lengths to do this?
Wu Ming really couldn't figure out the reason, but he didn't dwell on it too much.
After all, this is actually a good thing for him. In this way, he doesn't have to worry about these pills becoming useless waste pills due to being left for a long time.
Holding the Qingxiao Sword, Wu Ming began to violently dismantle the shield without hesitation.
In fact, Wu Ming did not want to break the restriction, but his understanding of the formation was really limited. His little knowledge of the formation was not enough for him to successfully break the restriction.
Therefore, he did not expect that he could break this restriction with his limited skills.
In desperation, he could only choose this more direct method - forced demolition.
Fortunately, the owner of this cave did not seem to have imposed an overly powerful protective formation on these bottles of pills.
The main function of this formation is simply to delay the loss of the medicinal effects of the elixir.
After all, these pills are placed in the owner's own cave, and the cave itself is also equipped with a defensive formation, so the owner naturally does not have to worry too much about the pills being stolen, robbed or lost.
Therefore, in just a few dozen breaths, Wu Ming broke through the shield and successfully took the three bottles of precious pills into his pocket.
Unfortunately, however, the specific names of the elixirs are not marked on these three jade bottles.
This meant that although Wu Ming obtained the pills, he had no idea about their effects, and was even less sure whether these pills could be useful for his injuries.
Moreover, at this moment, Wu Ming's attention was not fully focused on these three bottles of pills.
Because in this cave, there are many unknown opportunities waiting for him to explore and discover.
After all, this is the cave of an alchemist at the foundation-building stage. As everyone knows, alchemists are very rich. Wu Ming doesn't think that this huge cave is just for a few bottles of pills.
So, Wu Ming decided to put aside his curiosity about the elixir for the time being and continue his comprehensive search in the attic.
He carefully checked every corner, not missing any place where treasure might be hidden.
After some effort, he searched the entire attic, but unfortunately, apart from the three bottles of pills, he did not find anything else valuable.
