The corridor is dark and damp, and one can only move forward by relying on the weak mysterious light of Liu Mang's green sword. A two-person wide stone staircase leads diagonally downward to the bottomless underground.

There were water drops constantly dripping down the stone wall and top. The stone steps were wet and slippery, so the two of them walked very carefully.
The journey was relatively safe and we did not encounter any agencies or guardian beasts.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, some winding vines with unknown names began to grow on the stone wall. Liu Mang pulled at them and found them to be very strong. The two of them continued to move forward while holding on to the vines to prevent slipping.
After walking down for who knows how long, suddenly a glimmer of light lit up in front of them. In such a dark situation, just such a glimmer of light also added a lot of comfort to the two of them.
The closer they walked, the intensity of the light became stronger. Finally, after passing through a small door, a huge hole appeared in front of them.
The circular cavity is dozens of feet in diameter, and the dome is dozens of feet high. It seems that the entire mountain is hollowed out here.
I don't know what kind of plants are growing on the stone walls of the cavity, and the fruits they grow are actually emitting cyan light. It is this light that illuminates the entire cavity.
What is surprising is that there is a very thick tree growing in the middle of this hollow. It takes thirty or forty adults to hold hands to surround the thick trunk. The crown of the big tree and the dome are in contact with each other. Countless canopies hang from the crown. On the vines hang many unknown white objects in the shape of cones, which look like some hanging silkworm cocoons.
On the thick trunk of the big tree, there is another small wooden door. It seems that even if it is opened, it can only allow one person to pass through.
Liu Mang couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this marvelous object: "The world is so big and there are so many wonders.
Qianqian reminded: "Don't just stare at them. I feel like there's something fishy about these white cocoons on the trees. It's better to be careful."
Liu Mang nodded and cautiously came to the door under the tree.
The wooden door was not locked. Liu Mang pushed it gently, and the door opened with a creak. A musty and unpleasant smell emanated from the door. Liu Mang frowned and fanned in front of his nose. It was dark inside the door, but the space seemed surprisingly large. Liu Mang walked in carefully, and then examined it with the light of the green light sword.
Qianqian followed suit and walked in. It was empty and filled with unfathomable darkness. After the two of them walked a few steps, a table blocked their path.
There was a small wooden box and a tattered-looking book on the table, but nothing else.
"Is this the book about elixirs?" Qianqian brushed the dust on the book, and the words "miraculous elixir" were revealed.
"It's true!" Qianqian was a little excited.
Liu Mang reached out and picked up the small wooden box on the table and asked curiously: "What's in it?"
He shook the wooden box slightly, and there was the sound of a round object rolling.
After Liu Mang opened the box, he found two black pills the size of pigeon eggs inside. He took one and put it in front of his nose and smelled it. There was no smell.
Qianqian was afraid of any danger: "Be careful, these pills are poisonous. I'll take a look at the connection between this book and these two pills.
The book had been soaked in water, and most of the words inside were hard to read. Qianqian flipped through several pages, but could not read a complete sentence, but from the few words, it could be judged that this book was that of the ancient great master. The experience of making pills that can be left behind.
Qianqian felt a little regretful: "What a wonderful treasure, it was wasted like this. The elixir spectrum is incomplete, and even if you have extraordinary skills, it will be difficult to learn it."
However, the middle pages are not very badly affected by moisture, so they can still be read clearly.
Qianqian was overjoyed and quickly read out: "The magic elixir requires 5 qian of golden python blood, 5 qian of snapping turtle shell, one Donghuang Dizhi, one Fuyao fairy grass, two Ningshen flowers, two bergamot fruits, A bowl of rootless water is placed in a copper cauldron and refined with the fire of true energy for three days to form one. It looks like a pigeon egg and is black and bright in color. Taking it can strengthen the body, clear the meridians and activate collaterals, and restore the true state of the body. The effect of Qi.
Listening to Qianqian's description, Liu Mang felt more and more that the book was talking about the two black pills in his hand. He compared them again and said: "Since this magic pill is so effective, why don't we take one?" , if it can really help us unblock the meridians, activate the meridians, and restore our true energy as he said, then it will be easy to leave here."
Qianqian shook her head and said: "No, just from the description above, we cannot be sure that this is the magic pill. What if one of the previously lost pill recipes is similar to it and is highly toxic? Yes, we can't take this risk.
Liu Mang was surprisingly determined: "How will you know if you don't try? Besides, if we are trapped here for a long time, we will all die. If we try, there might be some hope. Since you are afraid, just let Let me give it a try. My luck has always been relatively good.
Before Qianqian could say anything, Liu Mang took one and threw it into his mouth and started chewing it.
Liu Mang's face was a little ferocious. He chewed and complained: "What the hell is this? Why is it so unpalatable? It's so bitter."
Finally, Liu Mang swallowed the chewed pill. After a while, Liu Mang felt that the muscles and veins all over his body were aching faintly, and there seemed to be a fire in his dantian, which was extremely hot.
Liu Mang bent down in pain.
"What's wrong with you?" Qianqian's face was full of worry and she quickly went to check on Liu Mang's situation.
"It's nothing, it seems a little expired and a little uncomfortable. Sweat began to appear on Liu Mang's face.
Qianqian's voice was full of anxiety: "I told you not to eat things of unknown origin easily, but you didn't listen. What can I do about this
Liu Mang endured the pain and squeezed out a smile: "What are you afraid of? I haven't said anything yet. But the pain that followed made it hard to keep talking.
The burning sensation in his Dantian began to slowly spread throughout his body, and Liu Mang's whole body began to tremble. After a while, veins bulged all over his body and he was sweating profusely. Liu Mang knelt on the ground in pain, holding his most uncomfortable Dantian and groaning. snort.
Qianqian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot when she saw this, but she couldn't do anything to help. She could only comfort Liu Mang from the side.
Liu Mang couldn't hear clearly what Qianqian was saying.
He only felt that his head was buzzing, as if it was about to explode, and his whole body seemed to be gnawed by countless insects. It was itchy and painful, and it was an indescribable torment.
