Herbs took ten years to become spiritual, a hundred years to become a treasure, a thousand years to become supreme, and ten thousand years to become sentient.

However, the lifespan of a Qi Refinement cultivator was 125 years. With the continuous absorption of Essence Energy, a Foundation Establishment cultivator's lifespan could reach 200 to 250 years, a Golden Elixir cultivator's lifespan could reach 400 to 500 years, and a Yuanying cultivator's lifespan could reach 1,200 to 1,400 years.

A Soul Formation cultivator could ascend to immortality. However, no cultivator had ascended to immortality in this world for thousands of years. Li Jinzhi did not know how long a Soul Formation cultivator could live.

However, there were not many Yuanying cultivators in the Northern Polar Domain. On the other hand, there were many Yuanying cultivators in the Guangyuan Desert that the protagonist had gone to.

After all, the Northern Polar Domain was the most remote place on this mainland. Cultivators from other places could not be bothered to look at the resources there.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivator, who had the longest lifespan, was only a little over a thousand years old. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator was born with a batch of herbs, they would only be able to harvest a batch of Supremacy level spiritual herbs when they were a thousand years old.

Herbs that could become sentient were even more out of the question. Unless they encountered a fortuitous opportunity in a mystic realm, or came from a large family clan that had gone through many years of cultivation, they would only be able to obtain a ten-thousand-year-old spirit herb.

Unless they had a mysterious bottle that could mature spirit herbs like the protagonist of The Legend of A Mortal's Journey.

Therefore, Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng stared at the spirit herbs in the room for a long time in a daze.

The room in front of them was divided into four medicine fields. Spirit herbs were neatly planted in the fields. There were Candle Bud Grass, Bone Condensing Flower, Vase Flame Ginseng, and many other spirit herbs that were priceless. Some of them had not even appeared in alchemy, so Li Jinzhi did not recognize them.

Ye Cheng looked at the small animals that were squatting, crawling, or jumping around the spirit herbs. He said in shock, "Are those the spirit herbs' bodies?"

"I'm afraid so."

Li Jinzhi quickly came back to his senses, but the doubts in his mind grew stronger. This ice palace and the spirit herbs and treasures in it would cause a commotion if they were to be thrown into the streets.

However, it did not make sense that the mighty cultivator had left this place behind when he ascended to immortality.

Because this ice palace was a magic tool, it could shrink and shrink at will, so it would be strange not to take it away.

Unless this person is a tycoon, and when the tycoon left, these things were no longer useful to him, so he discarded them. It seems that it makes sense to think like this?

Li Jinzhi put aside the confusion in his heart and nodded. "It should be. Are these all spiritual herbs that have transformed?"

"…" Ye Yu twisted his body and raised his head to look at Li Jinzhi. "Then, will they be willing to hand their bodies over to us?"

Li Jinzhi was not worried. He recalled the description of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the Dao of Pills and said, "Spiritual herbs have no attack power when they transform. In order to protect most of the main body, they will be willing to hand over their branches. The main body only needs to recuperate for a while and can condense new branches." He paused and said solemnly, "When you go out, you have to study hard."

Ye Cheng, who was once again despised for being uncultured, died.

While the two of them were talking, the originally peaceful herb garden became chaotic. The transformed spiritual herbs calmed down after a while, and a little monkey was pushed out. As it walked, it turned into a little old man who only reached Li Jinzhi's knee. The little old man looked cautious. "May I know who the two of you are?"

Li Jinzhi looked at the little old man who looked like a local eunuch and could not help but laugh. "The two of us have just entered this place and have no evil intentions."

The little old man's vigilance did not decrease. "Are you the owner of this palace?"

"No." Li Jinzhi denied. He thought for a while and added, "I will be in the future." He could take this palace after taking the magic tool array core. This answer was not wrong.

The little old man saw that there was no greed on the other party's face, and his voice and appearance did not seem to be a person with ulterior motives. He slightly relaxed his vigilance and proposed a condition. "We are willing to give you the branch of the palace that you provide for us to cultivate."

Li Jinzhi was waiting for this sentence. He agreed without hesitation. The main branch gave birth to nine branches. As long as the main branch did not die, the branches would not die. With the guarantee of the spiritual herbs of the main branch, would there be a need to worry about the lack of spiritual herbs in the future?

The medicinal properties of the branches and the main branch were much worse. Many cultivators would rather not have those branches and obtain the main branch. Therefore, this little old man was very cautious.

When the little old man saw that Li Jinzhi agreed, he turned into the little pink monkey again. The little animals behind him also surrounded them and chattered to Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng.

"My name is Bai Pin."

"My name is Bu Ti."

The more Li Jinzhi listened, the more shocked he became. These were spiritual herbs that had long been extinct in the world. Among them, there was the Bone-growing Grass that he had obtained long ago.

Due to the continuous increase of cultivators, the spiritual herbs were excavated year by year. The hundred-year-old wild spiritual herbs in the wild were difficult to find for thousands of miles. Many species were extinct. Therefore, when the secret realm opened, there were so many cultivators who rushed to kill and snatch the spiritual herbs.

Finally, after greeting the spiritual herbs one by one, Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng walked out of the inner hall and pushed open the door of the hall next door. It was a bedroom. The huge ice-white jade bed occupied half of the palace. It was covered with layers of gauze curtains. There was a small table beside the bed. Inside the bed, there was a bookshelf against the wall. There were countless jade slips placed on the bookshelf. In front of the ice bed, there was an exquisitely carved alchemy furnace.

This room had existed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, yet there was no trace of dust. Ye Yu fluttered twice and walked towards the bed. Halfway there, he heard Li Jinzhi say from behind him, "There are books here. Come and read them when you have time."

"Why did you mention such a depressing topic?"

Ye Cheng twisted his head and walked back. He said calmly, "Let's take a look at the last Hidden Tools Pavilion. After that, the two of us will cultivate in seclusion here."

Li Jinzhi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "You cultivate here. I'll cultivate in seclusion at the ice spring."

"Why don't you cultivate in the same room with me?" Ye Cheng was startled. He stared at Li Jinzhi pitifully with his beady eyes and drooped the corners of his mouth.

Li Jinzhi looked back at him indifferently. "What do you mean why?

Have you ever seen cultivators cultivate in seclusion in the same room? "

"The two of us can set a precedent."

Ye Cheng's face was calm. "Besides, the spiritual aura in this room is quite rich. It's covered by the Spirit Gathering Array. You've already drunk the ice spring. Why do you still want to go there?"

"I didn't drink it dry." Li Jinzhi looked embarrassed. He retorted weakly, but it was obvious that he lacked confidence.

Ye Cheng followed up with another attack. He twisted his body and gestured to the size of the bed. "I see that this praying mat is quite big. If you're on the left and I'm on the right, we won't interfere with each other."

Li Jinzhi was powerless to refute. "This is a bed."

"En." Ye Cheng concluded. "Then it's decided.

Didn't you say that you want to enter the Yuanying stage as soon as possible?

Why are you still so wishy-washy at this time? "After saying that, he turned and walked out of the bedroom.

Li Jinzhi, who was accused of being wishy-washy, had a complicated expression on his face.

Everything in the Hidden Tools Pavilion confirmed Li Jinzhi's earlier guess. Perhaps this palace was really left behind when cultivators ascended because its grade was too low.

Although the magic weapons in the Hidden Tools Pavilion were ancient magic weapons, their styles were simple and their functions were unknown.

However, they were all used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage and the Golden Elixir stage. If these things were placed in the outside world, people would fight over them. However, if they were placed in front of cultivators who ascended to the Deification stage, they were somewhat insignificant.

The spiritual herbs next door were probably not old when they were planted, so they were left behind. However, when they arrived, it was already ten thousand years later.

However, the little bit that was left behind by Da Zhang became a precious treasure in Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng's hands.

Li Jinzhi was caught by Ye Cheng's tail and forcibly pulled back to the bedroom. He only let go when he reached the bed. When he placed his hands on the ice bed, he realized that this bed was a bit strange.

It was warm and soft to the touch, but cold to the touch for a long time. The rich spiritual aura disappeared into his body. When he looked at his dantian again, he saw that the wisp of spiritual aura was already quietly hovering. This bed was actually a magic weapon that assisted in cultivation!

In that case, it wouldn't be difficult to enter the Core Sacrifice stage, which was equivalent to Yuanying, as soon as possible.

Now that he had formed his demon core, he should be at the Yuanying stage. His demon core was equivalent to the Golden Elixir of an ordinary cultivator.

The two of them sat on opposite ends of the bed, closed their eyes at the same time, and operated their cultivation methods at the same time. After two large circulations, the two of them stopped their cultivation methods at the same time and looked at the person opposite them with eyes full of shock.

Li Jinzhi's heart was filled with shock. There was no other reason other than the fact that this bed was indeed strange and abnormal. Just now when he was operating his Secret Art, he actually faintly felt the existence of another slightly warm Spirit Qi. It seemed that using the bed as a medium, the Spirit Qi and his Spirit Qi reflected each other, forming a strange Spirit Qi circulation route.

Moreover, there was no sense of harmony at all.

"This bed is quite strange."

Ye Cheng sat cross-legged on the bed and stared at Li Jinzhi with his soybean-like eyes. The roots of his scales were slightly red. "You actually forced us to do Dual Cultivation."

When Li Jinzhi heard the words "Dual Cultivation" from Ye Cheng's mouth, he was slightly embarrassed and corrected him. "It's just connecting our spiritual auras and extending the circulation route to increase the speed of cultivation."

After thinking for a while, he explained, "When spiritual aura enters the body, it usually needs to circulate nine large circulations before it can be purified and enter the dantian. However, if the circulation route is extended, it can enter the dantian in just three circulations."

When Ye Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed. It was unknown what he thought of, but his body twisted even more.

"What are you thinking?" Li Jinzhi asked expressionlessly.

"Then doesn't my spiritual aura have to circulate in your body?" Ye Cheng looked at Li Jinzhi with watery eyes.

Facing those eyes, Li Jinzhi couldn't find the words to refute. Then, he pretended to be fierce. "Why do you care how many rounds your spiritual aura circulates in my body?

It's fine as long as it can advance quickly. Hurry up and transform, lest we get caught by that old man to refine elixirs. "After saying this, he closed his eyes and began to circulate his cultivation method.

When Ye Cheng heard this, the anticipation in his eyes slowly faded, and a cold glint flashed by. He would take back everything that Moksha had given them.

For a moment, the room was silent. The two of them circulated their cultivation method at the same time. Ice-white spiritual aura converged from the bed under the two of them and combined to form an ice-white band of light with a hint of red. It was like an aurora, beautiful beyond compare.

Li Jinzhi quietly sensed that his cultivation speed was several times faster than before. He immersed his mind into his sea of consciousness. His primordial spirit condensed and evolved into the shape of an Ice Phoenix countless times. The spiritual aura in his dantian quickly condensed and compressed. As it expanded and contracted, the faint cry of an Ice Phoenix could be heard.

The spiritual aura in Ye Cheng's body similarly expanded and contracted. The Yao Core condensed and contracted, and the small flood dragon swam continuously between changes.

Time flew by. Cultivators in meditation had no concept of time. After an unknown period of time, the surface of the two of them was covered by a thin layer of ice. The aura around their bodies soared several times, and their hair and eyebrows were covered with frost and snow.

The spiritual aura connected to the ice under their seats faintly condensed into a solid form.

"Kara!"
