Chapter 472 Alchemy Secret Scroll
As Su Mohui squatted down to pick the Ice Soul Grass, she looked up and met Xiaoguang's curious eyes. She briefly explained what had just happened and said, "But we have more to collect than just this one. We also need to collect Fire Spirit Fruit, Star Pattern Leaves, and Thick Earth Ganoderma."
Xiaoguang listened carefully. After picking the Ice Soul Grass, he quickly took out the animal skin map. After carefully examining it, he placed his finger on the map and gestured while saying:
"Sister, this Fire Spirit Fruit grows in the Yanhuo Mountains in the southern part of the Suiming Nation. I heard that it's extremely hot there, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close. But we have our own spiritual power, so we don't have to worry too much. In comparison, the Star Pattern Leaf is a more troublesome existence."
He paused, frowning slightly, and continued, "This Star-Marked Leaf grows in the northern Star Valley. It's said to possess a hint of intelligence, capable of disguise and deception. However, it also has a weakness: on full-moon nights, it sheds its disguise, revealing its true form and absorbing the power of the stars. If we want to harvest the Star-Marked Leaf, we'll probably have to skillfully harness the power of the stars."
Su Mohui lowered her eyes and stared at the old animal skin map in her hand, her gaze wandering between the winding lines. "It seems that this thick earth fungus is the easiest to collect."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a strong dizziness. Her eyes went dark and her body swayed slightly. When the dizziness faded a little, she was shocked to find that the Rebirth Mirror in her sea of consciousness was unfolding an ancient scroll, and a bronze alchemy furnace slowly emerged.
The alchemy furnace was suspended among the vast star tracks. The "Lianshan Yi" hexagrams engraved on the furnace seemed to be injected with life under the reflection of the "spark of hope", flowing with the mysterious and distant waves of the long river of time.
At this moment, Su Mohui suddenly realized that within the Suiming fire, there was actually a secret scroll on alchemy carefully left behind by Emperor Zhuanxu. Those previously obscure runes were automatically converted into easy-to-understand simplified Chinese.
Not only that, the twinkling stars between the star tracks also quietly transformed into various rare medicinal materials needed to refine pills.
However, at this moment of dizziness, Xiaoguang was quick-witted and grabbed her wrist, saying anxiously: "Sister, be careful!"
Su Mohui finally woke up from her dream and looked down at the ground. She saw that her shadow had been strangely twisted into the shape of mycelium. The spores that had been purified before were trying to erode her consciousness with the power of fire.
At the critical moment, the bronze alchemy furnace in the sea of consciousness flashed with light and instantly turned into a bronze mirror with an ancient shape and exquisite beauty.
In the blink of an eye, a bronze mirror appeared in front of the two of them, and the mirror clearly reflected the translucent mycelium wrapped around Su Mohui's soul, trying to bind her soul tightly.
When the light emitted by the "Spark of Hope" swept across the mirror, the mycelium seemed to be touched at the vital point, making a sharp and piercing whistle, and then instantly turned into black mist and dissipated under the sunlight.
"It's okay. These mycelium are just some remnants left after purification. They pose no threat to me." Su Mohui looked calm. He activated the Netherworld Fire in his body and completely burned the remaining mycelium.
At the same time, she keenly noticed a strange phenomenon——
Whenever the fire resonated with her own power, the jade plate given by the North Star God would tremble slightly in the Space-Time Cube, and the Rebirth Mirror would project a series of medicinal material distribution maps in her sea of consciousness, guiding her direction from time to time.
Su Mohui put the bronze mirror into the Mirror of Rebirth, only to see the image on the Mirror of Rebirth change into flowing star trails again, looking like the brilliant Milky Way in the night sky.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a relaxed smile. She said, "It seems we are lucky. Tomorrow is the night of the full moon, and the most suitable time for us to collect star pattern leaves is tonight at midnight."
Su Mohui had complete faith in the Rebirth Mirror's ability to judge, and no longer worried about anything else. She turned around and walked towards the south of the Sui Ming Kingdom with Xiaoguang.
Not long after, Xiaoguang suddenly turned his head and hid his hands in his sleeves. The puppet threads that had just disappeared from his fingertips conveyed to him the latest situation of the sacred tree.
Su Mohui noticed his actions and followed his gaze. She saw a beam of emerald light shooting straight into the sky. The originally withered tip of the sacred tree was coming back to life at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Almost instantly, countless firefly-like points of light swarmed out from the tree hole, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight.
The Rebirth Mirror in the sea of consciousness quickly unfolded several images at the same time. Su Mohui looked carefully and found that each light spot carried a fragment of the night watchman's soul.
"That is the power of hope." The old man's voice from before sounded softly in their ears like a gentle breeze. "When all memories return, the Sacred Tree will officially begin to revive."
Su Mohui and Xiaoguang looked at each other, their hearts filled with joy, but before they could speak, the Mirror of Rebirth seemed to be driven by some mysterious power and automatically pieced together into a complete mirror. It slowly floated out of Su Mohui's sea of consciousness and hovered in front of the two of them.
Then, Ji Lingguang's image emerged from it. "Sister, I discovered something interesting in the Ninth Heaven!"
Su Mohui looked at the gray fog floating aimlessly behind him and instantly understood where he was. Without asking any more questions, she nodded slightly, motioning him to continue.
Ji Lingguang's voice seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog, and after a long journey through time and space, it was mixed with the murmur of electricity: "I found the entrance to the underworld at the end of the Gray Realm. There is also a monument there that records your deeds -"
At this moment, Zhuanxu's voice drifted out from the image: "I made a mistake. The seal of Cthulhu's power is actually a paradox. Suppression is not the same as elimination. It has never truly existed in our world. And when we try to suppress it, it will only awaken it."
"So, the key to breaking the seal may be to let the god Cthulhu awaken himself?" Su Mohui thought of the previous inference in his mind and couldn't help but blurt out.
No one answered Su Mohui's question. Instead, Ji Lingguang's image became clearer again. He continued, "But the interesting point is that the things recorded on the rebirth tablet I just mentioned are the process of your self-awakening."
Su Mohui was a little puzzled, but she heard Zhuanxu's voice again: "However, this stele also records other things. Your Nether Fire Seed has a high probability of eliminating the restraining power from this world."
"What do you need me to do?" Su Mohui asked after three seconds of silence.
Ji Lingguang in the Rebirth Mirror smiled, then slowly inserted the bronze key, which had been transformed from puppet silk, into the keyhole that suddenly appeared in the gray fog, saying, "No rush, I still have one last step... to complete."
