"Pill Furnaces? It seems this is the Pill Refining Room."
Su Shan's gaze slowly swept over the damaged triangular Pill Furnaces, a look of certainty flashing in her eyes as she made her deduction.
"There are also strange patterns on these walls; perhaps there are hidden array seals. Let's search carefully." Fang Hong's eyes lit up. He pointed at the surrounding walls, his eyes filled with anticipation.
With Su Shan's previous experience, the three now had a clear goal and began to observe the walls.
After searching for a while, Lin Na suddenly let out a shriek, exclaiming with a hint of excitent.
"Look here, is this an array seal?"
Fang Hong and Su Shan quickly moved to her side after hearing the sound.
Su Shan's eyes carefully scanned the patterns back and forth. A mont later, she smiled and said with certainty.
"That's right, this is indeed an array seal. It seems this level also has a hidden chanism."
Hearing Su Shan's reply, joy imdiately appeared on Fang Hong's face. The first level had Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, so what would this level have?
Su Shan once again began to cast spells, streams of magical power pouring from her fingertips and injecting into the array seal on the wall.
As the magical power was injected, the array seal on the wall began to flicker with a faint light, slowly aligning itself.
The ground did indeed begin to vibrate again, and dust rustled down from the ceiling. Fang Hong quickly retreated a few steps, vigilantly watching his surroundings.
A mont later, a crack once again appeared in a corner of the palace.
The three exchanged glances, then cautiously approached to look. Inside, there were no Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, but a black scroll.
"A scroll? Could it be so kind of Pill Formula?" Fang Hong was greatly interested, his eyes instantly brightening.
He eagerly used his magical power to draw the scroll towards him. The scroll slowly floated in the air under the influence of the magical power.
Fang Hong took a deep breath and slowly injected magical power to open the scroll.
The scroll slowly unfurled, revealing so crooked characters, clearly an ancient script.
"Uh, what kind of writing is this? I can't understand it at all." Lin Na gave a wry smile, shaking her head helplessly.
"I can't understand it either, Fellow Daoist Fang, what about you?" Su Shan also shook her head and turned to ask Fang Hong.
Fang Hong likewise shook his head, indicating he couldn't understand it.
However, he rembered that the sect's Scripture Pavilion had many books on ancient scripts. It was a pity that he wasn't interested in those books at the ti, so he hadn't copied or read them.
He could only wait until he returned to the sect to thoroughly investigate. Perhaps the scroll recorded so valuable Pill Formula, Fang Hong thought to himself.
"Since none of us recognize it, let's copy it down first. Maybe we'll encounter these ancient scripts in the future," Lin Na suggested.
"Hmm, that's all we can do." Su Shan nodded, then took out two wide talismans from her Storage Pouch. After injecting magical power, she began to copy the contents of the scroll onto the talismans.
A mont later, the copying was complete. Su Shan gave one copy each to Fang Hong and Lin Na, keeping the original herself.
Afterward, the three ticulously inspected the palace, not missing a single corner.
After confirming there were no omissions, they continued along the underground stairs to the third level.
The underground stairs were still very long, and it took the three another half an hour to reach the end of the stairs.
This ti, the end was not a grotto, but a stone chamber.
The area of the stone chamber was half the size of the previous two levels' grottoes, only forty to fifty feet wide.
There was no wide arena inside, only so damaged Refining Cauldrons, scattered haphazardly on the ground.
There were still so scattered skulls on the ground, appearing particularly eerie in the dim environnt.
In one corner of the stone chamber, there was another underground staircase, which ant there should be another level.
"Broken Refining Cauldrons? I guess this is the Artifact Refining Room, very similar to our sect's Artifact Refining House," Lin Na guessed.
"Indeed." Su Shan nodded, her gaze also surveying the room.
"This level doesn't seem to have any dangers. Let's search carefully. Perhaps, like the previous two levels, we've overlooked so valuable Spiritual Artifacts," Fang Hong said with anticipation.
Imdiately after, the three began to ticulously inspect every corner of the stone chamber.
This ti, there were no strange patterns on the walls, so the previous thod probably wouldn't work.
As they searched, Lin Na suddenly seed to press so chanism, and the entire stone chamber began to vibrate.
"Nana, what's happening?" Su Shan quickly ca to Lin Na's side, holding her magical sword with a vigilant expression. Fang Hong also stood guard nearby.
"I, I just pressed a brick," Lin Na said nervously.
The vibration of the stone chamber only lasted for a mont. After the vibration, several floor tiles in the middle of the stone chamber suddenly caved in, forming a square groove. This scene was sowhat similar to the previous two levels.
Fang Hong and the two carefully approached to look, finding six fist-sized blood-red crystals placed in the groove. Red flas flowed on them, and waves of heat assaulted them.
"So hot. Could these blood-red crystals be high-grade spirit stones?" Lin Na exclaid in surprise.
"No. That's not right. These aren't high-grade spirit stones, these are 'earth fire crystals'." Fang Hong's face was filled with wild joy when he saw the blood-red crystals, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's actually earth fire crystals. This is a truly precious treasure." Su Shan also showed pleasant surprise.
"Sister Shan, what are earth fire crystals?" Lin Na asked curiously.
"Earth fire crystals are a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure, usually born deep underground. They only have a chance to form after thousands of years of tempering by core earth fire. These are excellent materials for refining Spiritual Treasures." Su Shan explained with a smile.
"Refining Spiritual Treasures." Lin Na's beautiful eyes widened in surprise after hearing the explanation.
Although she didn't know about earth fire crystals, she knew the preciousness of Spiritual Treasures. Those were treasures that only Core Formation cultivators could temper with their Dan Fire.
This ant that even Core Formation cultivators would covet these earth fire crystals, no wonder Su Shan and Fang Hong were so excited.
"You, after you return to the sect, you should read more books in the Scripture Pavilion to broaden your knowledge." Su Shan pointed at Lin Na's head. Lin Na's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave an embarrassed smile.
At this mont, Fang Hong used a magical power hand to retrieve the six earth fire crystals and divided them equally with Su Shan and Lin Na, each receiving two.
With these two earth fire crystals, they would be of great use in refining Spiritual Treasures in the future.
"Let's continue searching." Having obtained the earth fire crystals, Fang Hong was in a good mood.
Afterward, the three once again searched carefully within the stone chamber. After searching for nearly half an hour, and confirming that there were no missed treasures on the third level, the three continued towards the fourth level.
