I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 520: The Secret Realm of the Jacaranda Tree

The temptation of the Ningying Pill is too great, especially for a Jindan-stage cultivator like Su Mo who needs it right now.

It is not easy to refine the Ningying Pill. Even when Suzhou was prosperous in the past, the number of alchemists who could refine the Ningying Pill was no more than one hand. What's more, now that Suzhou no longer exists, it is even more impossible to find any alchemist even if you want to.

Compared with searching aimlessly for the Ningying Pill left behind among the countless fragments of Suzhou, the one in front of him that he could see and possibly touch was obviously more cost-effective.

The opportunity is right in front of him, and Su Mo will fight for it no matter what.

Yuan Qi did not stand there waiting for Su Mo to hesitate. He just waited for a while and then looked at Su Mo, turned around and walked away, heading in the opposite direction of the exit of the Thunder Domain.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to care whether he was willing to follow or not, and just walked away on his own, Su Mo, who had already made up his mind, hurried to catch up.

She has already taken the big black ball and the reptiles back into the space. Anyway, as long as she follows the senior closely, she will not be afraid of encountering lightning arcs.

It was not known whether the other party did it on purpose or not. He seemed to be walking leisurely but his speed was very well controlled. Su Mo had to use all his strength to activate the light body technique to barely keep up.

She had to admit that this blue-robed monk was indeed the strongest monk she had ever seen in Suzhou.

As Su Mo followed behind and tried to hurry on his way, he had random thoughts in his mind. It seemed that the other party didn't know about Suzhou's current situation. He didn't know what his reaction would be when he knew that Suzhou had been shattered into countless pieces.

Before she could continue her wild thoughts, Yuan Qi in front of her stopped.

Su Mo braked immediately and landed calmly behind Yuan Qi. The ability to brake urgently while moving at high speed was the result of Su Mo's proficient application of the light body technique, which she had learned from the experience of chasing and escaping with reptiles in the dark swamp in the past few years.

The place where they stopped was not much different from other places in Jiaolin. Even the distance between the charred woods was almost the same. Su Mo did not ask why they stopped here, because Yuan Qi in front had already taken action.

Yuan Qi made a complicated hand gesture with his right hand, and the next moment, a circular door appeared out of thin air one meter away from one of the charred trees.

Su Mo was shocked when the portal was just opened. Su Mo, who often traveled back and forth between Blue Star and the fragments of Suzhou, knew by feeling that it was a space channel, not some cave magic weapon or something like that.

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and an idea popped into her mind: Could this be the real secret place that she had been looking for but couldn't find?

Su Mo secretly glanced at Yuan Qi and sighed. No wonder he had traveled all over the Thunder Realm but didn't realize there was such a senior hiding here. It turned out that the senior had been living in the secret realm and had made the secret realm recognize him as its master.

Yuan Qi, who had already opened the passage, didn't know that the young monk behind him was experiencing a psychological change of sudden realization and sigh of regret. He turned his head to look at Su Mo, raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and took the lead to walk into the portal.

Su Mo was also not vague. She knew the nature of the real secret realm of Suzhou. She knew that the secret realm would not isolate her from the small tower like a trap, so she was very calm.

After stepping through the gate, the secret scenery can be seen at a glance.

That’s right, this secret realm is not very big, at most it is just a county town, and it is entirely made up of low and rolling hills that occupy the secret realm. The place where they are standing now is, relatively speaking, the highest hill in this secret realm.

Looking down from here, it seems that only one kind of tree grows in this secret realm, with large patches of light blue leaves densely intertwined together. The trees growing here are just like the mountains here, not very tall.

Unlike the trees in other secret realms that were dozens or hundreds of meters tall with thick trunks, the short trees here, which Su Mo didn't recognize as their species, were only five or six meters tall.

"These are jacaranda trees." Yuan Qi said when he saw Su Mo looking at them curiously.

"Oh, this is the first time I see this kind of tree." Su Mo retracted his gaze and began to observe the small area on the top of the mountain where there were no jacaranda trees.

Yuan Qi "..."

He looked at Su Mo suspiciously. The blue jacaranda tree was not a rare plant in Suzhou. Was it his first time seeing it? Yuan Qi was a little uncertain about the identity of this young monk.

But he didn't ask. Su Mo was observing the environment and observing her.

It was obvious that this open space was not formed naturally. Su Mo knew without asking that it was a place opened up by the senior himself.

It's just that the senior had lived a miserable life, and his belongings were in a mess. There were only a few tables, and a lot of bottles and cans and materials were piled haphazardly on and under the tables, with some half-processed ones left alone.

“Tsk…”

Yuan Qi "..."

Su Mo looked further away and could see a few small planting areas with some... Wow, they were medicinal herbs? !

"Wow, Senior, you still grow your own food?"

But Su Mo just took a quick glance and had a general idea of ​​it. She didn't want to take a closer look because her attention was already attracted by the things in the only wooden shed here!

"Then, that's the alchemy cauldron, right?"

Why is there an alchemy cauldron here? Does the puppeteer also need an alchemy cauldron to refine puppets?

"Senior! Can I see that?" Su Mo turned around and looked at Yuan Qi, hoping to get approval.

This piece of open space, which could barely be called a living area, was in a mess except for the area around the alchemy cauldron, which was clean and tidy, and there was only one house where people lived.

It can be seen that it is an important thing to the other party, so Su Mo doesn't dare to act rashly without permission.

Yuan Qi's cheeks trembled, but he did not stop. Instead, he walked to the other side and sat on a square cushion that was also placed casually. He took out a teapot and two small cups and began to make tea.

"Just don't get too close, just look at it."

Due to long-term use, the temperature of his alchemy cauldron was quite high, even without ignition.

"I'll pay attention!"

Su Mo, who was very curious, walked in quickly and started to watch in a circle.

The alchemy cauldron is two meters high, with a red base and a dark yellow body, and intricate patterns carved on it, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

Su Mo couldn't understand it either. Although she had taught herself some introductory knowledge of alchemy because of the need to bind to Ling Yunzhi, Ling Yunzhi's spirit gave her some slack during the test, and the things she learned in the test were really very introductory.

Therefore, she was only familiar with the runes that needed to be engraved on various alchemy furnaces, but she knew nothing about their effects and functions.

Su Mo didn't stay here for too long. After taking a careful look and satisfying his curiosity, he obediently returned to Yuan Qi.

Only after getting permission did she kneel down on the mat opposite Yuanqi.

"You haven't even seen a jacaranda tree, so you probably haven't seen an alchemy furnace either," Yuan Qi asked tentatively.

He pushed a cup of tea in front of Su Mo.

Su Mo took the cup of tea that was floating in the air and drank it in one gulp, but did not answer whether he had seen the alchemy furnace.

She thought about it and asked a question that she was curious about.

"Senior, does a puppeteer need to use a pill furnace to refine puppets?"

Yuan Qi was stunned and stumped by Su Mo's nonsensical questions.
