Volume 1 If Life is Like the First Time Chapter 18

　　It was still that hazy mist that surrounded the area in all directions, and it was impossible to see too far away, only the mountain peaks in that mist were hidden, and the neighborhood was quiet, windless, and soundless. 　　Su Ming looked at the mountain within that mist, this was the second time he had come here, the second time he had re-surveyed that strange peak from this location, especially when he thought of the countless odd words and patterns that were carved on top of this mountain, all of which caused Su Ming to not be able to help but feel a sense of awe. 　　He took a deep breath and looked down at the pendant on his chest, the black fragments on it had already disappeared, and after pinching his body, Su Ming was once again certain that he had not arrived if a dream, but had truly appeared here. 　　After placing his hand into his bosom again and seeing that the several vials containing the dust-clearing powder were still there, he flashed his gaze and walked quickly towards the fog in front of him, and within a short time, he arrived at the peak of that mountain, before he stepped into the passageway. 　　There was no pause along the way, until he came to the stone door in the passage, looking at the familiar stone door on the circle of lines in the center, the fifteen small holes, Su Ming hesitated for a few moments, fiercely clenched his teeth and stepped forward to take out the bottle of medicine from his pocket, poured out a grain of, two fingers pinched, into the first of the fifteen small holes. 　　Almost the instant his fingers touched the small hole in the stone door, Su Ming immediately felt a weak suction force from the small hole suddenly rose up, raw will be his own fingers within the medicinal stone sucked in. 　　Su Ming's expression was grave and wary, he didn't know if his judgment was correct, let alone what would happen when all fifteen small holes were filled, but he had considered this trip for a long time, and was vaguely filled with anticipation. 　　He did not act rashly, and after that first small hole sucked away the medicinal stone, Su Ming gazed at it, but after a long time, that small hole remained as usual, without the slightest change. 　　Su Ming scratched his head, pondering, so he once again took out a medicinal stone and put it into the second small hole, so as to continue, when he with a heartache, put all fifteen medicinal stones into it, his heart was even more nervous. 　　"Fifteen medicinal stones, if there is no change, then it will all be wasted ......" Su Ming was nervously looking at the fifteen small holes, but just at this time, suddenly a soft light suddenly spread out from within the fifteen small holes. 　　Su Ming's spirit was revitalized, hastily backed up a few steps, but saw that the stone door, along with the fifteen small holes of the light dazzle, more and more bright, the entire stone door on the circle of lines such as alive, slowly running up, a few moments later, it was connected to a piece, as a vortex, rapidly rotating. 　　As it rotates, the light within the fifteen small holes seems to be a little bit of suction withdrawn into this vortex, so that the stone door is covered by a stream of light, but also the sound of rumbling suddenly, echoing in the passage, deafening, so that Su Ming's body could not help but emerge ten lines of blood, the whole body blood rolled over, subconsciously resisting. 　　The rumbling sound continued for a moment, but saw fifteen wisps of green smoke from the fifteen small holes, as if the medicine and stone inside was directly turned into smoke, in the fifteen wisps of green smoke appeared, this huge stone door began to tremble, in the middle of its position, suddenly appeared a straight gap. 　　The gap connected the top and bottom, and then the stone door, in front of Su Ming, slowly moved to the sides and opened! 　　Su Ming's heart was pounding as he watched this scene, his heart and mind shook until the stone door was completely opened, then he sucked in his breath, behind the stone door, there was no longer a passageway, but a small stone room. 　　The walls around that stone room were not smooth, but had some carved patterns, and on the wall in the position directly in front, there was a tightly closed door. 　　In the roof of this stone room, there are some small stones that faintly emit light, fused within the walls, and there is a faint aroma scattered, so that people will smell a bite, will be invigorated look. 　　Su Ming's eyes flashed as he walked slowly and cautiously, his eyes swept over the walls around the stone room, and saw that the images carved within the walls were similar to what he had seen in the passageway before, which were all naked and cloaked figures refining medicinal stones in a primitive atmosphere. 　　When Su Ming first entered this place, he would have been confused when he saw such images, but at this moment, with the success of his quenching and dispersing plus the extra knowledge in his memory, he could understand a lot of these images when he looked at them again. 　　The figures in those images were refining different medicinal stones, Su Ming looked at them and couldn't help but be immersed in them, and after confirming them one by one with his own experience, it was as if he was obsessed, forgetting about the passage of time. 　　He tended to immediately take a few quick steps after he finished looking at one, looking for the next picture, and he didn't know how much time had passed, and when he finished looking at all of the patterns in an uninterested manner, his gaze landed on the tightly closed door within that stone room. 　　This was a stone door that was slightly different from the previous first door, it was pitch black, faintly emitting a burst of aroma, it seemed that the stone quality of this door was very strange. 　　And more a sense of heaviness exists, there is also a pattern on it, but that pattern is a huge desert tripod, which is also engraved with gusts of smoke rising, quite realistic, Su Ming looked at, vaguely have a kind of this is not a pattern, but a quenching dispersal of the illusion of the real desert tripod. 　　"If I have such a Desolate Cauldron, it would be good ......" Su Ming was very envious and looked a few more times. 　　Above and on both sides of this Desolate Cauldron, he saw several different kinds of herbs, and immediately became energized and looked at them carefully, the purpose of his coming here was to see if there were any other methods of configuring medicinal stones. 　　On the left side of that Desolate Cauldron pattern, there were seven kinds of herbs listed, and five of the seven were clearly the very same medicines used to refine the Dust Clearing Scatter, as for the two extra ones, Su Ming had not seen them, and after gazing at them for a long time, he firmly memorized their appearance. 　　Under this prescription, there were eight small holes arranged on the stone door. 　　As for the right side of the Desolate Cauldron pattern, there were eight kinds of herbs, the same as the prescription on the left side, five of these eight kinds of herbs were still the things needed to refine the Clear Dust San. 　　The extra three, Su Ming looked at the eyes immediately bright, there are two of the things he recognized, but not common. 　　Similarly in this prescription below, there are still small holes exist, but its number is slightly more than the left side, there are twelve. 　　As for the third prescription above the pattern of the Desolate Cauldron, when Su Ming looked at it, his expression slowly became extremely grave. This prescription was not grass or trees, but rather three patterns that made one's heart tremble at the sight of it. 　　The first is a python's tail scale, the second is the ninth leg of a nine-legged spider, and the third is a palm-sized black villain with the third finger of his right hand. 　　Even more bizarre, is this third prescription, there is no small hole exists, as if this medicine stone is too difficult to refine, so it is not forced to refine the same. 　　Su Ming pondered for a moment, eyes back to this is the stone door to approach, right hand raised, without hesitation pressed on the above, at that moment the stone door of the Desolate Cauldron pattern exudes a blinding ghostly light, Su Ming's body will be diffused within. 　　After a moment of discomfort, a wisp of memory once again appeared within Su Ming's mind, and he even obtained the refining methods of these three medicinal stones along with their names. 　　"Nan Li San!" Su Ming's gaze swept over the left side of that Desolate Cauldron pattern, then looked to the right side. 　　"Mountain Spirit Scatter ...... As for this last one ...... Nascent Scatter!" Su Ming muttered as he looked at the bizarre medicinal formula above the Desolate Cauldron pattern of that stone gate. 　　Su Ming is pondering, its body outside the dazzling light gradually dim, the entire stone door on the light of the desert tripod is also weak down, when that light all dissipated in an instant, Su Ming immediately eye splash, he did not tense, such an experience he has had a previous experience, the ears seem to exist in a burst of strange whistling, when the whistling sound ended, he slowly clear up in front of the eyes, still in the tribe within his room. 　　Su Ming took a deep breath, immediately walked to the door, moved away from the chair and pushed open the door, outside is still the dark night, the sky stars shining, surrounded by a silence, there is a night wind blowing, through the coolness. 　　Only that far away from the sky, there is a white line, obviously is going to be the appearance of dawn. 　　"Inside and outside should be similar in terms of time ......," Su Ming closed the door and sat down again on his knees, leaning on his chin, pondering. 　　"These three kinds of medicinal stones are refined in different ways, those two herbs in the prescription of Nan Li San I have never seen before, I can first not consider it, as for ...... Nashen San ...... "Su Ming's double pupils contracted slightly. 　　"This San is not refined from grasses and trees, and the things needed are too strange, but in the memories obtained, the vision that appeared after this San was even formed was extremely amazing!" Su Ming recalled the figure he saw in the memories he obtained before, and then after refining it into Nascent Soul Scatter, it even vaguely triggered a change in the color of the sky and the earth, and the wind and clouds swirled backward, so he couldn't help but be moved by his heart. 　　"This medicinal stone must be amazing if it can be refined! It is a pity that ...... even that stone door does not give a small hole, apparently the refining of this dispersion is quite difficult ...... so it is not associated with opening this door." Su Ming briefly pondered, then guessed seven or eight. 　　"Right now, the only thing that can be refined is the Mountain Spirit Scatter, and of the three extra herbs, I recognize two ...... Although I don't have them in my hands, there must be quite a few in the tribe's hidden medicine room." 　　While Su Ming was thinking, the sky outside gradually brightened up, and a new day slowly arrived. 　　Despite not resting for the night, Su Ming didn't have the slightest bit of drowsiness, this feeling was extremely obvious after he reached the second level of the Blood Condensation Realm, seemingly possessing a large amount of energy as if he didn't have the slightest bit of fatigue unless he stayed up so late for several days in a row. 　　At the dawn of that day, when the clansmen of the tribe had begun a new day of busyness, Su Ming washed up and walked towards a house not far away from this tribe, a house built of grass and wood, surrounded by a fence, and guarded by clansmen at all times.
