Chen Yun looked at the giant dandelion in disbelief, once doubting whether it was the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion.
This medicinal material, he had searched through all the pharmacology books and found no information about it.
At the time, Chen Yun still thought that this medicinal material might be very rare.
It's rare that even with all the precious books in the Taoist Temple, there's no record of it.
Therefore, he always feels that he is unlikely to obtain this medicinal material.
Therefore, after collecting most of the medicinal materials needed for the liàngqìhuàshéntāng, he never thought of actively searching for the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion.
After all, it's better to spend more time on cultivation than to waste a lot of time gathering medicinal materials with no information about them.
In Chen Yun's opinion, he has already created the second turn of the "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique", and his cultivation speed is relatively fast, so it doesn't matter whether he has the liàngqìhuàshéntāng or not.
In all his calculations and planning, he never anticipated that he would come to the soup valley to pursue the assassination of Gouteng Taoist and Xie Wu Yang, and then encounter the white cloud fairy dandelion root.
Chen Yun's mood became slightly excited, and he urgently wanted to pick it down.
Perhaps he noticed that Chen Yun had been staring at the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion for a long time.
Nai He followed Chen Yun's gaze and then slightly froze, saying, "The root of the white cloud fairy dandelion?"
Chen Yun turned his head and looked surprised, asking, "Do you know about this medicinal material?"
Nai He chuckled and replied, "People who have attained the Dao and ascended to immortality for a long time should know about it."
Chen Yun, with a hint of curiosity, asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Nai He said, "The body of an immortal is eternal, a true Dao element immortal body, only time can make it decay. Ten thousand and eight hundred years later, if it is still unable to ascend to immortality, the body of an immortal will be decayed and destroyed. Even though there are other means that can destroy immortals completely, they can never reach the extent of decay. However, there are exceptions in this world. There is a medicinal material that can allow the body of an immortal to decaying to some extent."
Chen Yun guessed subtly, "You mean the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion?"
Nai He nodded, "That's right. Therefore, immortals see such bizarre roots and avoid them, afraid of being contaminated and decaying."
Nai He laughed and said, "Of course, the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion can not only decay the body of an immortal, but it also has some peculiar medicinal effects. If a mortal takes it, it can wash the marrow and change the sinews to some extent, or even transform their bodies. However, immortals are not suitable for it."
Mortals can, but immortals cannot?
Chen Yun was truly surprised beyond measure.
He couldn't understand why this medicinal material was so peculiar.
Could it be that there's some secret about an immortal's body that conflicts with the medicine?
If that's the case, why is this medicinal material included in the liàngqìhuàshéntāng?
Chen Yun knew that the creator of the "Dalong Ling Tang" would not joke about such a thing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate and become an immortal in such a short period of time.
So that means one thing: in order to break the fetter and surpass the ten thousand and eight hundred years limitation, the physical body needs to "decay" first?
He wasn't sure if his guess was correct, but with the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion right in front of him, there was no way he could give it up.
Chen Yun didn't respond to the two people's words and walked slowly towards the front.
Nai He saw this, couldn't help but frown and reminded, "Mr. Chen, the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion will not decay the body of an immortal until it is taken in. But even if you touch it, your ethereal energy will be corroded."
Chen Yun calmly said, "Thank you for the reminder. I know what to do."
Nai He and Waihe looked at him not listening to their advice and didn't feel like wasting any more words.
Both found a place to sit down and began to channel qi to restore their strength.
Chen Yun extended his hand, summoned the small bronze cauldron that he had not called upon for a long time, and then lifted the lid.
Although the small bronze cauldron was very important, he wasn't afraid that someone would covet it.
Because the most important part of "Dalong Ling Tang" is the formula.
The small bronze cauldron only serves the purpose of refining medicine.
Furthermore, it can only be used to refine medicine according to the formula recorded in "Dalong Ling Tang," and it's not very useful for anything else.
Even if someone else took it away, in the end, they could only use it as a storage artifact.
Nai He and Nai He are immortals; would they turn against themselves for a storage artifact?
The answer is definitely no!
As expected, Nai He and Nai He glanced at Chen Yun's actions and then turned away to take care of their own matters.
Chen Yun approached the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion, but dared not reach out to grab it.
Chen Yun activated his magic, materializing a golden hand formed by spiritual energy, reaching out to grab the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion.
In the next moment, a terrifying scene unfolded.
Chen Yun only saw that the golden hand formed by his spiritual energy touched the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion just now, and it was corroded into a pit about the size of a fist.
And, this corrosion was still spreading incessantly, as if it was trying to follow the spiritual energy that formed the golden hand and invade Chen Yun's body.
Without bothering with the corrosion, he quickly pulled out the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion, roots and all, and threw it into the small bronze cauldron.
Although Chen Yun's speed was fast, there was still a trace of the corrosive qi of the white cloud fairy dandelion that invaded.
Chen Yun felt as if his spiritual energy inside was like hot oil splashing into a drop of water, immediately buzzing with excitement. Even his golden pill was affected, showing subtle signs of cracking.
"What a terrifying corrosiveness!"
He hurriedly summoned more spiritual energy and allowed the corrosive qi to erode, until he exhausted all the corrosion.
After doing all this, Chen Yun directly summoned the small bronze cauldron back into the space of his heavenly pot technique, and did not brew the elixir in front of Nai He and Nai He.
Although others may not covet the small cauldron, the liàngqìhuàshéntāng may not be the same.
Chen Yun understood these principles.
After collecting the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion, Chen Yun did not recover his strength like Nai He and Nai He did.
Because his own recovery ability is strong, even if he doesn't actively recover, his recovery speed is not slower than others.
Chen Yun continued to look around, hoping to see if there were other natural treasures existing.
Since there is the root of the white cloud fairy dandelion here, the possibility of having other natural treasures should be quite high.
As someone who attained immortality in a short period of time through the "Dalong Ling Tang,"
He knew very well how much faster one's cultivation could progress with the aid of natural treasures.
He naturally wouldn't let go of any place that might have a natural treasure.
At first, because his spiritual awareness was affected, he could only rely on his eyes to explore and Chen Yun really didn't find any other natural treasures.
However, as he continued to explore, he gradually discovered that there was something unusual in the deep canyon. There was a faint glow that flickered between bright and dim.
"Could it be some other treasure?"
Chen Yun continued to walk forward, eager to find out the truth.
Not long after, he arrived at the depth of the canyon.
Here, it was dim and damp, completely unlike the heat outside.
And among the dim and damp place, there was a strange fruit tree.
This fruit tree was only a foot and a half long.
The shape of the tree was like a lotus leaf, emitting a faint glow.
Judging from its size, this tree is probably still in the early growth stage.
Upon seeing the fruit tree, Chen Yun couldn't help but be startled.
"This..." He couldn't believe it and rubbed his eyes, "Could it be the Yellow-center Plum seedling?"
To be honest, if it wasn't for Chen Yun having the formula for "Dalong Ling Tang," which could show him the specific shapes of various natural treasures, and having seen the Yellow-center Plum tree in Ba Jing Palace before, he might not have been able to recognize it.
Chen Yun truly seemed to be unable to believe it.
Because according to what he knew, the true heaven and earth treasure such as Yellow-center Plum had particularly strict requirements for growth environment.
Only Ba Jing Palace of Laojun and Xuanguangmuye's hanging garden in Kunlun can meet the conditions.
And now, he had actually seen a Yellow-center Plum seedling here?
Chen Yun truly suspected that he might have mistaken it, but after carefully examining it for a long time, the young seedling in front of him was indeed Yellow-center Plum!
"Should I transplant it?"
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, "According to all the records, the Yellow-center Plum has particularly strict requirements for the growth environment. If I were to transplant it, perhaps placing it in the hidden compartment of the small bronze cauldron during the transfer wouldn't cause any problems. But the spiritual soil from my Qingcheng Mountain, which was moved from the Taodao Hall, may not meet the requirements for planting and could only make it wither."
Just thinking about the harsh requirements for the growth environment of Yellow-center Plum, he couldn't help but feel conflicted inside.
On one hand, he didn't have a suitable environment for the growth of Yellow-center Plum, and transplantation seemed to be useless. Therefore, he shouldn't dig it out.
On the other hand, it was also possible that this place might not be suitable for the sustained growth of the Yellow-center Plum.
It's fine for now, but it doesn't necessarily mean it can grow healthily in the future.
What if the spiritual qi couldn't keep up later, or someone else broke in and dug out the seedling?
It is precisely because of these considerations that Chen Yun's heart was in a bit of a tangle.
According to his understanding of Yellow-center Plum, this tree takes a thousand years to grow, then blooms once a thousand years, bears fruit once a thousand years, and finally matures after another thousand years.
Even without considering the seedling stage, it also takes three thousand years to obtain the fruit.
Over these thirty to forty thousand years, who knows what will happen in the Tang Valley?
"No, I have finally come across it, so I must transplant it."
Chen Yun immediately made up his mind.
The current lack of suitable environment for the growth of Yellow-center Plum is one thing.
If it were to be dug away by someone else, that would be another matter.
At least, while there isn't a suitable environment for it, he can keep the Yellow-center Plum seedling in the hidden compartment of the small bronze cauldron, preventing it from "dying prematurely."
However, it can only grow normally in the dark compartment of the small bronze cauldron.
Anyway, he can still plant it once a suitable environment becomes available in the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Yun without hesitation took out the small bronze cauldron again and pulled out the hidden compartment.
After doing all these, he carefully dug it up with his hands over there.
The main reason was that he couldn't normally use his spiritual awareness here, and Chen Yun was afraid that if he used spiritual energy carelessly, he might accidentally injure the root and stem of the Yellow-center Plum seedling, which would be a real disaster.
Chen Yun carefully unearthed the soil bit by bit.
He kept observing the root and stem of the Yellow-center Plum seedling and tried to avoid it as much as possible.
After digging for a while, he finally dug out the Yellow-center Plum seedling, including its root and stem, in one piece.
Chen Yun feared that the lack of soil nourishment would cause the seedling to wither rapidly.
He quickly placed the seedling into the hidden compartment of the small bronze cauldron.
The hidden compartment has functions of preservation and freshness.
The Yellow-center Plum seedling should be safe inside.
After doing all this, he put away the small bronze cauldron.
Chen Yun couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect that my luck would be so good today. First, I harvested a root of the white cloud fairy dandelion. Then, I found the Yellow-center Plum seedling here. This time, I really made a big profit."
He was thinking about another matter. Since there was a Yellow-center Plum seedling here, did it mean that there were other precious spiritual roots in other places as well?
