185: Miracle Medicine

The palace was resplendent with gold and jade, with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an aura of luxury that left Li Qi stunned the moment he first saw it.

The archway at the bottom of the immortal island read “Danxia Abode,” and if a mere abode’s palace was this luxurious, Li Qi could hardly imagine how extravagant the main residence would be.

Li Qi arrived before the palace’s grand entrance, his heart filled with caution.

This was the core area of the immortal island, filled with numerous Restrictions; if he carelessly triggered one, he would undoubtedly suffer a terrible attack.

The blood-colored boundary wall of the Three Thousand Blood Realms constantly enveloped Li Qi as he cautiously stepped through the main entrance.

The palace was vast, containing many side halls in addition to a main hall.

After entering the main hall, Li Qi saw that it was empty, with nothing but a few massive pillars.

After circling the main hall without any findings, Li Qi walked towards the adjacent side halls, but his brows quickly furrowed.

Many of these side halls were sealed by Restrictions, with obstructions at their entrances; only by using violent means could one break through the Restrictions and enter.

Leaving aside whether Li Qi had the ability to break the Restrictions laid by Danxia Zi, even if he were to use any offensive means here, it could lead to unpredictable consequences.

After some attempts and confirming he couldn't enter, Li Qi changed his target and walked towards other side halls.

After passing four side halls in a row, when Li Qi arrived at the fifth side hall, his face lit up with joy; he found that this side hall surprisingly had no Restriction blocking it, so he smoothly walked inside.

“There are indeed many good things here.”

This side hall was filled with miscellaneous items, with some books and bottles on several rows of wooden shelves; Li Qi stepped forward to examine them.

The books on the wooden shelves were some Cultivation Techniques, as well as some notes and insights on Alchemy, while the jade bottles contained some Medicinal Pills that had already been refined.

Additionally, there were some Materials used in Alchemy here, but these Materials had decayed over thousands of years, turning into powder with a touch of the hand, rendering them unusable.

Li Qi searched this side hall thoroughly, collecting all useful items before leaving and continuing to search other side halls.

There were a total of eight side halls here, two of which had their Restrictions Failure, allowing Li Qi to enter smoothly and collect all the good things within.

Arriving at the back of this grand hall, Li Qi discovered that there was even a Medicinal Garden!

Although it had been left untended for a long time, and many Spirit Medicines had withered, there were still over a dozen Spirit Medicines that had survived.

Li Qi’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly stepped forward: “Good things! Truly good things!”

“These are Spirit Medicines that have survived for thousands of years!”

The medicinal properties of Spirit Medicines are closely related to their age of growth; the older the Spirit Medicine, the more precious it is.

For example, a hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine is already extremely valuable, and a thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine is even harder to come by!

If Spirit Medicines that have grown for thousands of years were placed in the outside world… they would be enough to cause people to fight fiercely over them!

It would cause no small amount of upheaval!

“Now these Spirit Medicines are all mine!”

Li Qi chuckled, immediately stepping forward to harvest them.

Although he had not yet ventured into the Dao of Alchemy, it was not an issue; as long as he obtained the Alchemy method, he would quickly be able to improve his technique and instantly master the Alchemy method.

These thousands-of-years-old Spirit Medicines… would surely come in handy in the future!

Soon, Li Qi had harvested all the Spirit Medicines in this Medicinal Garden, leaving behind only bare ground.

After collecting the Spirit Medicines, Li Qi did not linger, continuing to seize the time to search various locations.

In just a few moments, Li Qi had thoroughly searched the entire palace, inside and out.

After confirming that he had not missed anything, Li Qi turned and left the palace, walking down the steps towards the mountain.

“Is that Senior Brother Li?”

“Senior Brother Li is back!”

Upon discovering Li Qi descending the steps, the Disciples of Four Seas Sect all exclaimed in surprise and hurried to meet him.

“Senior Brother Li, how was the palace up there? Did you gain anything?”

Facing everyone’s questions, Li Qi smiled faintly: “The gains were decent; let’s discuss it once we’re outside.”

Li Qi looked around and noticed that the number of people on the mountainside had decreased; only those from Four Seas Sect and Purple Firmament Palace remained.

“Hmm?”

“Where are those people from Evil Shadow Sect?”

Liao Shi explained: “They have already withdrawn from this immortal island…”

“And from their posture, I believe they are probably already prepared outside; as soon as we exit… we will face their fierce attack.”

Li Qi nodded: “No matter, this is not a concern; let us rest here for a moment first…”

“Alright, we’ll follow Senior Brother’s lead.”

The immense pressure of exploring the palace at the mountain peak had consumed a good deal of Li Qi’s physical strength; Li Qi planned to rest here first, and once his physical strength was fully restored, he would go deal with those fellows outside.

Not long after, Ji Luojia also came down from the mountain.

However, Ji Luojia no longer had his initial composure; his appearance had drastically changed, his clothes soaked with sweat as if he had been pulled out of water.

Moreover, his face was pale, and his body trembled, looking as if he had overexerted himself.

Ji Luojia’s expression was bewildered as he turned his head, then looked at Li Qi, who was not far away, with a mournful expression…
