Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel

Under the red mist, the ruined temple stood among the weeds, as if time had been completely frozen.

The main body of the entire temple is incomplete. Most of the structures have been weathered into powder over the long years, the beams and columns are cracked, and the wood has turned into sand.

Chu Zheng stepped sideways into the temple, opened his spiritual eyes, and carefully observed his surroundings.

There is no magic circle, no traces of battle, no special spiritual energy fluctuations, and occasionally a few messages pop up on the panel, which are all extremely ordinary things.

After glancing around, Chu Zheng turned his attention to the half-shaped statue sitting high on the altar.

The statue is greenish-gray in color, and its upper body has been shattered. Only the hem of the wide robe can be seen, with simple and rough lines.

Chu Zheng looked at it for a while, and soon a prompt came from the panel.

[Incomplete God Statue (Level 5/Incomplete): A golden statue of a powerful being, sculpted more than 740,000 years ago. Due to the sealing of heaven and earth, it was cut off from the outside world, and its divine power was gradually lost. Over the long years, Medium, covered with dust and dirt, can be repaired (0/1000) (Details)]

[Detailed information: The statue of the Taoist ancestor once enjoyed the incense of all spirits. After the sealing of heaven and earth, it was infiltrated by evil spirits and mutated. In order to resist the erosion of evil spirits, it exhausted its divine energy. After repairing it, you can worship it with Taoist rituals and you can receive the gift of the Taoist ancestors. blessing. 】

Daozu statue?

Chu Zheng's eyes suddenly focused. This inconspicuous ruined temple was actually dedicated to a certain Taoist ancestor of Taoism.

For a moment, he was a little unsure whether this Dao Ancestor was the same person as the one Ji Yuyan told him before at the Xianwu battlefield.

Chu Zheng came closer, lightly licking the dust under the statue, and then his expression changed slightly.

He noticed a strange aura, which was very similar to the evil energy escaping from the space channel above Juze.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of the erosion of evil spirits that this statue collapsed.

What shocked him even more was that this statue was made of the most ordinary clay without any aura, but its grade was so high that it was undoubtedly beyond common sense.

There was a broken curtain on the side of the statue. Chu Zheng looked at it for a few times and couldn't help but his expression moved slightly.

There are cranes and auspicious clouds embroidered on the top of the curtain. Although it has faded now, some traces can still be seen. It is not a magic weapon, but a hand-embroidered object. The embroidery skills are very exquisite.

In his previous life, he had also seen countless treasures passed down from ancient times, and this one was also of the highest quality, no less than the top famous embroidery.

However, no matter how exquisite the embroidery work is, it is just a common thing.

Everything in this ruined temple is ordinary. Except for this statue, there is not even a single advanced spiritual object.

It is hard to imagine that a real golden body of Taoist Ancestor lives here.

After calming down, Chu Zheng stood up and began to repair the ruined temple. He placed a golden body of Taoist Ancestor in front of him and ignored it, which was obviously inappropriate.

What's more, a statue of a god with a grade as high as the fifth level may bring him some new inspiration after restoration.

Follow the prompts on the panel and after repairing it, you can get the blessing of Dao Ancestor.

But now that this world has been closed, there is still a question mark as to whether this blessing can be conveyed to him.

While repairing, Chu Zheng couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

The first time he entered the secret realm, he discovered this ruined temple.

He practices Taoist Qi refining method, and a Taoist ancestor happens to be enshrined here. It is really too much of a coincidence.

The only explanation that Chu Zheng could think of for this was that the secret realm intentionally teleported him here based on the Qi refining method he practiced.

If you are an immortal monk, the place you go to may be a place with immortality.

If this guess is true, then this secret realm undoubtedly hides great secrets.

This world is very likely to be spiritual.

If this inference is correct, then it doesn't seem so strange that Shang Cangyun was able to obtain the inheritance of the Immortal King back then.

There is no reason why you can't get the opportunity to put food in your mouth.

Chu Zheng sorted out the thoughts in his mind. He kept moving his hands and swept away all the weeds within a hundred feet. In just a short moment, under the influence of the repair panel, the ruined temple looked brand new and spotless.

The green bricks and green tiles, the beams and pillars are as red as blood, the altar is bright and clean, and only half of the incomplete statue looks a bit out of place.

On the restored plaque in front of the door, there are only two large gilt characters: 'Tao Palace', simple and clear.

According to the current repair frequency of twenty times a day, it will only take fifty days to repair the statue, which is more than enough time.

After using up the twenty repair times on the panel, Chu Zheng turned around and left the Dao Palace, took out the map of the Cangyun Secret Realm that Geng Yiyang gave him, and began to determine his position.

Such a vast secret realm is right in front of us. It is undoubtedly a pity that it has been abandoned here for such a long time.

…………

…………

In the Cangyun Secret Realm Map, the area that has been explored has a radius of tens of millions of miles.

Among them, there are three types of areas, marked with black, red and gold colors. In this picture, Geng Yiyang gave very considerate tips.

Gold represents the area where the chance of immortality has occurred, red represents the traces left by the alien path, and black represents dangerous places that cannot be entered.

In addition to these three types of areas, the entire periphery of the map, as well as some areas, are shrouded in a layer of fog.

That was a place that no one had ever set foot on, or in other words, it was an area that Taixuan Holy Land didn't understand.

This map of Geng Yiyang's is already considered obsolete compared to the ones held by the other major holy places.

After all, Taixuan Holy Land has been closed for a long time, and the last time disciples from the Condensation Realm were sent into the secret realm was thousands of years ago.

After that, there was no more Condensation Realm monks in Taixuan Holy Land, and there was a break.

Due to the need to repair the golden body of Dao Ancestor, Chu Zheng could not leave too far.

After spending most of the day and exploring for nearly a hundred thousand miles, Chu Zheng just confirmed his position.

His location is close to the edge of the map and belongs to a red area.

The only red area around here is the Dao Palace, there are four areas that are exposed to golden light, and there are as many as six black areas, most of which carry huge risks.

There are four black areas with brief information labels, such as:

[The remaining ancient killing array], [A powerful alien creature that looks like a dragon, its scales are difficult to damage with high-grade magic weapons, and its breath is highly poisonous], etc. are all descriptions of dangerous places.

The remaining two black areas, without information marks, mean unknown risks. There is a high probability that a condensed monk died in them inexplicably, and the reason cannot be found.

After Chu Zheng weighed it for a while, he set off and rushed to one of the areas glowing with golden light.

Although this area has been explored, Chu Zheng believes that there must be some 'treasures' left behind.

He pinned his hopes on finding some fragments of immortal treasures and even elixirs. Even if he couldn't repair it now, there would always be a day when he could repair it in the future.

When his cultivation level is high enough, these things will naturally come in handy.

Soon, Chu Zheng arrived at the area marked on the map.

It can be clearly seen here that it is the ruins of Fangxian Sect, covering a thousand miles in radius. There is a weak spiritual energy floating below it, and it is obvious that a spiritual vein once existed.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and despite the isolation between heaven and earth, the spiritual energy has not yet dissipated. When this spiritual vein was at its peak, it was at least a top-quality spiritual vein.

In order to prevent mistakes and omissions, Chu Zheng opened his spiritual eyes and scanned them all.

Every inch of this place has obvious traces of being cleaned. The monks who came last time did not even leave the underground. They almost turned the area upside down, obviously because they were worried about missing the hidden treasure house.

Soon, Chu Zheng followed the general layout of the Immortal Sect and found the location of its alchemy hall.

One of the pill furnaces was in a mess and had lost a lot of its spiritual energy. It fell to the ground in a mess. The top cover had been lifted and medicine dregs were everywhere.

[Fengyang Ding (Level 5/Incomplete): The best magic weapon, cast 700,000 years ago. Under the temper of time, the spiritual energy is completely lost, the magic circle disintegrates, and it is almost scrap metal. It can be repaired (0/200) ( detailed)】

[Detailed information: After being calcined by divine fire, absorbing the essence of plants and trees over the years, it has acquired the energy of the three elements of metal, wood, and fire. It is only half a step away from channeling. It can greatly increase the chance of successful alchemy. After repair, it can be conceived with high-level divine fire. If you raise it, you can expect to have psychic powers within a hundred years. 】

A treasure that is about to be channeled means that after repairing it, there will be an extra channeling arm in a hundred years.

For magic weapons, spiritual treasures are a qualitative change. Once they are channeled and have consciousness, they are alive and no longer a dead thing.

Being able to independently absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and repair oneself, the time it remains in this world is a hundred times more powerful than the best magic weapon.

There are several withered bones sitting in the corner of the palace. They are obviously monks belonging to this immortal sect. It is just unknown whether these people were alive or dead when this world was sealed.

There are no traces of stored magic weapons on these people, and it is most likely that they have been taken away by their predecessors.

According to the prompts on the panel, most of these corpses' previous cultivation levels were floating around the third and fourth levels, and they died of normal lifespan depletion.

From the scattered medicinal residues and waste elixirs, Chu Zheng obtained many precious elixirs.

Quite a few of them are in the fourth and fifth levels, and there are also a small number of sixth-level elixirs, which have a great effect on the divine infant and even the power of the divine transformation realm.

The fourth-level elixir can be repaired in only two or three days with Chu Zheng's current repair level.

For an ordinary alchemist, it would take at least several months to collect the elixir for such a furnace of elixirs, and there is no guarantee that it can be made.

In contrast, Chu Zheng had to save a lot of effort in this process, and he was just sitting back and enjoying the results.

Soon, in less than half a day, Chu Zheng swept away the entire Immortal Sect ruins. He didn't find anything too precious, but he still gained a lot.

He didn't stay too long, turned around and returned to the Dao Palace, exhausted the number of refreshed repairs, and then started exploring again.

In less than ten days, several nearby golden areas were swept away by Chu Zheng.

He obtained many damaged magic weapons, the most precious of which was a large golden bow half as tall as a man.

[Falling Star Bow (Level 7/Incomplete): A top-quality semi-immortal treasure. The bow string was broken, the bow body cracked, the immortal pattern is broken, lack of materials, and cannot be repaired by your ability (details)]

[Detailed information: An immortal treasure with extremely amazing power. One arrow can fall into the star, ten arrows can shoot the moon, a hundred arrows can pierce the sun, and a thousand arrows can be combined into one, which can kill real immortals. Currently, there is a lack of materials: the essence blood of seventh-level monsters. , the seventh-level true dragon spine tendon, the method of engraving immortal patterns. 】

The Falling Star Bow was discovered by Chu Zheng in a thousand-mile canyon. It was said to be a canyon, but it was more like the slash marks left by a sword. To this day, it is still filled with evil intent.

With Chu Zheng's current physique, he could feel a chill while walking in that canyon, as if he was facing the decisive blow of the unknown strongman hundreds of thousands of years ago.

In this sealed area, there must have been extremely brutal killings and killings.

Chu Zheng looked at those black areas from a distance. In one of them, he sensed some evil energy. Although it was very slight, it was definitely evil energy.

Chu Zheng is now unable to confirm why the supreme Immortal King in ancient times sealed off the world in front of him. Whether it has anything to do with these evil spirits.

But one thing we can know is that there should be no passage to the demon world in this blocked area.

Otherwise, nearly a million years have passed, and this secret realm has long been eroded.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye, time flies, and more than a month has passed.

In the Dao Palace, Chu Zheng, with some anxiety, used up all the repair times refreshed today.

The moment the golden body was repaired, a burst of clear energy poured into Chu Zheng's mind, and the mighty divine voice continued to echo, coming from the distant void.

The prompt on the panel sounded quickly.

[Treasure Record of True Tribulation for Eternal Life (Level 10): The Taoist ancestors passed down the method and experienced all kinds of tribulations, and one can achieve the status of Daluo Jinxian. 】

Level ten! And it’s a complete tenth-level method!

Chu Zheng took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes before he could even digest the complicated information in his mind.

Looking at the repaired residual image, he suddenly looked slightly startled.

The appearance of this Dao Ancestor seemed somewhat familiar.

After looking at it for a moment, he was slightly startled, turned over his hand and took out the solar mirror, hanging it in front of him.

Looking at the face reflected in the mirror, Chu Zheng raised his head again and glanced at the image. For a moment, he felt a chill down his spine and hairs all over his body.

The statue looks more like... than at first glance just now...

Wow——

Just as he was dazed, an evil wind blew in outside the temple gate. For a moment, Chu Zheng's ears were filled with the tinkling sound of rolling and colliding sand and gravel.

Even with Chu Zheng's current level of cultivation, he couldn't clearly see the scene in front of him. The wind and sand even blocked his spiritual thoughts.

When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had returned to its original state.

There were no tiles above the head, the beams and pillars were cracked, and the red glow reflected in, illuminating the dusty altar.

Only half of the statue enshrined on the altar was left, and the bottom was full of dust.

If it weren't for the treasure record of eternal tribulations recorded in his mind, Chu Zheng would even doubt whether he had a dream.

He turned his spiritual eyes and looked at the statue again.

[Broken God Statue (Level 0/Broken): An unknown statue of a god whose remaining traces have been erased, cannot be traced back to its origin, and cannot be repaired. 】

this……

Chu Zheng tried his best to calm down the turbulence in his heart. After a while, his heart was still pounding. He had no idea what happened.

Daozu gave his blessing, and then everything returned to the way it was when he first came, as if someone had reversed time and space.

The statue in front of me cannot even be repaired a second time.
