Inside the crevice is a long passageway.
The passageway is inclined, and Jiang Chen and the others walked for about half an hour before a light appeared overhead.
Swish swish swish!
The sound of splashing water rang out as Jiang Chen and the others surfaced from the water, and everything opened up before them.
"How beautiful!"
Jiang Chen exclaid.
What appeared before everyone was a cave full of stalactites, each one emitting a soft white light that illuminated the entire cave as if it were broad daylight. The cave was filled with a rich, aromatic scent, much like aged fine wine.
On the largest three stalactites by the shore, crystal clear droplets exuding an aromatic scent were slowly dripping down, falling into a basin-sized depression. At the edge of the depression, there was a tiny channel that extended next to a small, colorful flower.
Splash!
Jiang Chen and the others jumped out of the water and landed on the shore.
"I didn’t expect such a marvel here at the bottom of the sea!" Ying Zi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the cave, a joyful smile on her face.
Jiang Chen chuckled softly and turned to Xuan Long: "No wonder you call it Spiritual Wine, it really does sll like fine wine!"
Xuan Long smiled slightly, leading everyone to the depression, but no one noticed that ever since they entered, Supre Long Huang’s expression had turned terribly grave, a look of panic flashing in his eyes.
"The Spiritual Wine dripping from the stalactites all converges here. When the Spiritual Wine overflows to the channel, it will water the small flower over there. Initially, it took half a day for the wine to reach the channel, but after a week, it beca a day, and another week later, three days. Now it takes two weeks to reach the channel!" Xuan Long said softly.
"This really is it!"
The panic in Supre Long Huang’s eyes turned to deep worry, and he took a long breath, speaking in a low tone.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Chen turned to look at Supre Long Huang, noticing his grave expression, and was slightly stunned, becoming serious.
Supre Long Huang spoke heavily: "This thing is called Companion Liquid, it has no specific na, it’s a liquid companion to the Spirit Grass. According to Xuan Long’s account, this Companion Spiritual Liquid will flow dry in about two days. That small flower is called Unity Grass, a Spirit Grass that helps Martial Artist break through the peak of the Venerable Realm to reach the Saint Realm. The Companion Liquid is the Spiritual Liquid that nourishes it, and this Unity Grass... should not appear here!"
Pausing for a mont, Supre Long Huang emphasized each word: "Or rather, it should not appear in this era!"
"Are you saying... it’s sothing from the Era of Martial Decline? A sign of that era coming!?" Jiang Chen’s expression changed, speaking in a deep voice.
Supre Long Huang nodded heavily.
"What happens if I take the Spiritual Liquid like this?"
Xuan Long asked nervously, fearing that his recklessness might destroy the Unity Grass, and his guilt would be great!
Supre Long Huang glanced at Xuan Long, speaking with so regret: "The Spiritual Liquid cannot be intercepted, even a single drop affects Unity Grass. The current Unity Grass cannot help a Venerable Realm peak martial artist break through to the Saint Realm!"
"What?!"
Xuan Long was startled, turning to Jiang Chen, apologizing deeply: "Young Master, I’m sorry, I..."
"It’s okay!" Jiang Chen smiled slightly, patting Xuan Long’s shoulder: "The Unity Grass can’t directly help soone break through, but it can be used to brew an Elixir to aid in the breakthrough. I know of an Elixir that can help soone break through to the Saint Realm, the main ingredient is Unity Grass, and it just happens to be seventy percent mature. If it were more mature, it’d actually be a waste!"
"You can brew Unification Elixir!?"
Supre Long Huang looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, an incredulous look in his eyes.
Jiang Chen glanced at Supre Long Huang, surprised: "You know about Unification Elixir?"
"I also read about it in ancient records. Brewing Unification Elixir requires Unity Grass, pure Life Energy, and another Spirit Fruit, the Consoling Soul Fruit!"
Supre Long Huang spoke softly: "These three are the main ingredients, and many auxiliary ingredients are needed, but the records only list the three main ingredients, nothing else!"
"Indeed, the three main ingredients: Unity Grass is used for breakthrough, Life Energy for purifying the body, Consoling Soul Fruit for cleansing the soul!" Jiang Chen nodded lightly.
Supre Long Huang’s eyes revealed a knowing look, then he frowned slightly: "Getting all three main ingredients is very difficult, getting even one is like a stroke of luck!"
"It’s not hard! Now we have two already!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Life Energy can be replaced with a Life Energy Crystal from a Gene Organization Venerable Realm cultivator or above, though it might require more quantity. As for the Consoling Soul Fruit... we’ll cross that bridge when we co to it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen stepped to the side of the Unity Grass, gently starting to pick it.
Supre Long Huang opened his mouth, glanced at Xuan Long, but said nothing.
Actually, ancient records also ntioned sothing, that the higher the maturity of the three main ingredients, the more energy they contain, making it easier to brew Elixirs. But since Jiang Chen said that to ease Xuan Long’s mind, Supre Long Huang did not point it out, allowing Jiang Chen to assert that picking at seventy percent mature Unity Grass does just fine!
Xuan Long saw Jiang Chen picking now, indeed relaxing a little, then deeply rembering the two nas ’Life Energy’ and ’Consoling Soul Fruit’!
Jiang Chen carefully picked the Unity Grass.
He took out a small jade vial from his pocket, emptied the Bone Soul Revival Liquid in it in one gulp, then slowly crumbled the Unity Grass into bits and put them into the jade vial.
"You’re really wasting it, kid!"
As Jiang Chen opened the jade vial, Supre Long Huang had already slled what was inside, and seeing Jiang Chen drink the small jade vial completely, he couldn’t help but snark.
"Why? Don’t want wasting, then hurt yourself and deplete your Inner Qi until you’re nearly exhausted, I’ll give you a vial to drink!" Jiang Chen rolled his eyes moodily.
Supre Long Huang glared at Jiang Chen, choosing not to bother with him.
"Alright, start filling up!" Jiang Chen completely inserted the Unity Grass into the jade vial, stood up and spoke.
Xuan Long took down a leather backpack from his back, pulled out several jade vials the size of mineral water bottles, and began filling them with Spiritual Liquid.
"Why don’t you use those jade vials?" Supre Long Huang couldn’t help but speak again.
Jiang Chen sneered, retorting: "Didn’t you hear Xuan Long say the jade vials are just right? Using those vials would waste Spiritual Liquid!"
"You..."
Supre Long Huang rolled his eyes, not continuing the argunt with Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen paid no mind, directing Xuan Long to properly fill the Spiritual Liquid.
