Chapter 236: Materials are being prepared, Thunder Mountain Secret Palace

After strongly condemning the false advertising and writing a commission, Jiang Yi walked back to the upper floor of the inn to see the room he had booked.

The room is decorated with jade vases, hung with ink paintings, and filled with books to entertain guests, highlighting a comfortable and high-end atmosphere.

Although it's a bit expensive, it's quiet enough here, and the view is wide enough when you open the window. You don't have to go downstairs to eat next time, you can walk to the corridor of the inn to enjoy the view.

Living high up, you can also feel the fairy air.

Jiang Yi put down his backpack, took out his notes and drawings, and perfected the alchemy array he designed for his physical transformation.

In each magic circle filled with the seven elements of the sun, moon and sky, different alchemical runes are written and different alchemical formulas are constructed.

"I bought seven silver resins at high prices from merchants and adventurers, which are enough to serve as the basis for physical transformation. But it is a pity that no merchant has the silver ancient tree branches and the silver flowers growing from the earth."

Jiang Yi shook his head. The silvery-white resin grows on ancient trees in deep mountains and forests, just like the silvery-white fungus of the half moon. Ordinary people can get it with luck, but the branches and flowers of the silvery-white ancient trees are truly rare treasures that no one can get.

In the land of Teyvat today, the only ancient silver tree he knew growing outside was on the Mondron Ridge Snow Mountain. It was already dead and lifeless, and it was difficult to revive. There was no use picking it.

Other silvery ancient trees grow in the secret realm of Teyvat, serving as instruments used by many ancient civilizations to reward trial-takers.

The secret realm will disappear, the ancient trees will collapse, and some stones and branches of the ancient trees containing the power of space will flow out, but this kind of thing will not happen for a hundred years, and Jiang Yi cannot wait.

Unlucky Bennett did encounter this, but the tree he saw fell into the void, leaving no branches at all.

Moreover, the secret realm was not in a state of disappearance, but was replaced by a silver-white tree that grew out of the void.

After sensing the earth veins and joining the big family of earth vein plants, Jiang Yi suspected that all the silver-white ancient trees in the world were the same one, and that the ones in the secret realm and on the surface were all its branches.

Independent yet connected.

"Forget it, I'll go chop one myself... No, I'll go ask for one!"

"The closest secret place with the silver-white ancient tree is the 'Thunder Mountain Secret Palace' in Mingyun Town, east of Wangshu Inn, near the Mondelongji Snow Mountain."

"I passed the trial myself, so I don't need anything else in there as a reward. Just a small tree branch is not too much!"

Jiang Yi packed up his things and decided to prepare, collect some information, and visit the first level of the secret realm in a few days.

Today, he is going to collect another kind of alchemical material.

Teyvat is a group of frogs that live in humid environments and are full of vitality.

The body secretes substances that also make people full of energy.

He bought some from a vendor, but it wasn't enough.

Even if we place a commission and hire many people to fetch it, it probably still won't be enough.

Because the amount he needs is a little bit bigger, which is a large bucket that can be applied all over the body.

The substance is secreted from the frog's body. Without killing the frog, each frog can secrete several grams per day.

The substances coming out of a living frog are better than those of a dead one. The dead air at the time of death will cause slight pollution and mutation, making the vitality impure.

Therefore, Jiang Yi repeatedly told the client not to kill the frogs, as this would not only damage the ecology but also destroy the alchemical materials and drain the pond of fish.

In order to prevent himself from developing a phobia of catching frogs and getting slimy and slippery things, Jiang Yi made full preparations.

Set up the crafting table in your backpack and craft a potion that attracts frogs and has an insect-smell.

I closed the door and windows and glanced at the cat and dog that slipped past the corner.

In Wangshu Inn, people are prohibited from flying using the Wings of Wind, as the dust dropped in the air would affect the diners below, so Jiang Yi had no choice but to walk on.

Dihuazhou has many water areas, many islands, and many reeds, water plants and insects.

The frog is fat and big, and can jump three feet high.

After choosing a good location, setting up a large barrel, pouring in medicine and emitting a scent to attract frogs, Jiang Yi left directly and went to the next location.

After arranging ten positions, he returned to the first position and looked at the frogs inside. Under the influence of a stimulant in the potion, the frogs secreted a lot of vital substances and left in a depressed state.

"The effect is not good enough. Not enough frogs are attracted. We need to increase the smell!" Jiang Yi improved the potion on the spot, synthesized a new bottle and poured it in.

In order to prevent someone from stealing it, he hired ten more people to help watch over it and collect the vital substances.

After two days of hard work, a small jar appeared in my hand.

On the third day, an accident occurred. Some hill people appeared, destroyed his arrangements, and scared away the hired guards.

Jiang Yi could only hire a new adventurer and beat up the surrounding hillbillies and make them leave.

Next time, see you, I’ll kill you.

Seeing that things were getting on track, we set off for Mingyun Town.

When it came to practicing, he was very motivated. He traveled day and night and ran straight to the "Zhenlei Lianshan Secret Palace". On the way, he encountered a flower that contained hidden gold, which he swallowed and refined.

The vitality in his body increased greatly, his true energy increased, and the space element became a little bit thicker.

Entering the first level of the secret realm, there is endless rolling thunderstorm.

Jiang Yi started the trial.

With his current strength, he can kill the monsters on the first level with ease, so he is very interested in studying the isolation barrier after the secret realm trial is opened.

This barrier contains the power of space and the power of rules.

When he dissolved the space and tried to escape, it turned into thick glass that penetrated many spatial layers and directly blocked him.

"It's not that simple!" Jiang Yi saw that he was still unable to fight against the rules of the secret realm, so he honestly passed the trial to remove the barrier.

He came to the silver-white ancient tree and communicated with it as the "new sprout of the earth's veins."

"I don't want the prize of the trial, I want one of your branches!"

Apart from the dull thunder, the only sound in the secret realm was the mechanical sound that indicated the power of the silver-white resin.

This mechanical sound belonged to an ancient civilization, not to the silver-white ancient tree, so Jiang Yi ignored it.

The buildings and altars located in the void had nothing to rely on, but in Jiang Yi's perception at this moment, the power of the earth veins still flowed from the void, and more space elements gathered towards the silver-white ancient tree.

Jiang Yi has discovered that there are no holy relics or alchemical materials under the altar. These items were transferred from other places by the silver-white ancient tree in the secret realm through the power of space.

"I can pay the price!" Jiang Yi asked the silver-white ancient tree. The whole body of the ancient tree was reflected in his memory palace, and he analyzed the alchemical runes one by one.

A blue array of seven suns emerged from the surface of the body's skin and took root in the earth veins of the secret realm.

A creepy deathly aura gushed out, and there seemed to be endless dead souls under the secret realm's veins. Jiang Yi's body trembled and his soul felt cold.

A warmth appeared in the silver-white resin in my hand.

"This is..." Jiang Yi was filled with thoughts, feeling that he was touching the truth of the offering.

Every secret realm with silver-white ancient trees is either a place where civilizations are buried or where a large number of lives are buried. It is a real place of death. Why do the silver-white ancient trees growing in it crave the power of silver-white resin? Why does the ancient civilization that made the rules use silver-white resin as the key to unlock the reward?

This silver-white ancient tree, in its analysis of communicating with the earth veins to obtain information, is more like a cooperative relationship with the ancient civilization, guarding the treasures of the ancient civilization and executing the promises made in the past.

The ancient kingdom of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain prospered because of the silver-white ancient trees, but also became desolate because of the extinction of the ancient trees.

Civilization and the silver-white ancient tree, what is it?

He raised his head and asked again.

The silver-white ancient tree did not answer. The silver-white resin in Jiang Yi's hand disappeared, and a silver-white branch fell from the sky.
