Chapter 20

While waiting for the pharmacy, Ou Peng helplessly picked up the last seemingly ordinary small box. His heart was filled with anticipation. In the short time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had seen a treasure that he had never seen before. He wondered what kind of treasure was in this box. Could it be something more magical than the Life Prolonging Pill?

The box was cool to the touch and felt very heavy. Ou Peng placed it in front of his eyes and carefully observed it. The whole box was one piece. He didn't know what material it was made of. There seemed to be no trace of a lid. He didn't know where to open it.

Ou Peng tried the four sides, pulling it up and pressing it down, but it didn't work.

He couldn't bite it with his teeth, right?

Ou Peng secretly laughed at himself. He put the box back on the table and then called everyone to come forward.

Everyone looked around for a long time. Old Four and Old Six also came forward and tried several methods, but they didn't work.

Zhang Chengyue frowned and said, "Master, do we need to use a key or something like that?"

Old Six rolled his eyes and said, "Martial Nephew, if you want to use a key, there should be a keyhole. This box doesn't have a lock, and there's no secret lock or something like that.

How do we use it? "

Zhang Chengyue blushed a little and stood there without refuting.

Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing had seen this box before in the secret plane. Wen Wenhai had also tried to open it. At this time, seeing that his master and martial uncle couldn't open it, he didn't dare to propose a new idea. Instead, Xue Qing looked at the box that he won with scissors, paper, scissors and was very interested. He even shook it in his ear to hear if there was any sound inside. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end, the Pharmacy Hall's Hall Master Bai Dong and Elder He Yunpu arrived at the meeting hall. After greeting the Sect Master and everyone else, Zhang Chengyue led them to the square table where the medicine was placed.

The reaction of these two people was even more unexpected. It wasn't that they were not surprised, but that they were too surprised.

From the moment the two of them saw the items in the package, their eyes didn't seem to move at all. Their feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, unable to move even half a step. Their fingers pointed at the medicinal herbs, their arms were trembling, and the saliva in their mouths was flowing, almost dripping to the ground.

After the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, the two of them finally came back to their senses. They didn't pay attention to the laughing expressions of the people who were admiring their embarrassing state, and said to themselves, "This is a six hundred year old ginseng, this is a six hundred year old field seven, this is a four hundred year old field spirit, this is?

255 years old Golden Thread Grass?

That's right, it was exactly the same as what was recorded in the Codex of Herbs. What about this?

Am I seeing things? A thousand-year-old Dragon Slaying Grass?

How could this be?

However, 'the roots are mostly cord-like and curved.

The stems are erect and grow alone or in clumps. There are vertical fine lines, hairless or white fine hairs at the tip. There are many branches on the upper part.

The leaves are dark green on the top and lighter on the bottom. The leaves at the base have a stalk and are oval-shaped. The edges are blunt or serrated. A hundred years have silver teeth, and a thousand years have gold teeth. 'This … this gold teeth. Heavens, I'm not dreaming, am I? "Hall Master Bai said as he slapped his own face with all his strength.

Then, he sucked in his own mouth from the pain.

The other He Yunpu, Elder He, also muttered the names of medicinal herbs that no one understood. His face was also filled with disbelief. In the end, he picked up a medicinal herb that was the size of a palm and said, "What is this?

A cactus? "

Hall Master Bai said, "Nonsense. According to the Codex of Herbs, cactus have thorns. Did it prick your hand?

That's Fish Hand Grass. "

Elder He was also unhappy and said, "The Codex of Herbs says that Fish Hand Grass is in the shape of three fingers. This one clearly has four."

Hall Master Bai looked carefully and also shook his head, saying, "I don't know, I don't know. And the remaining fourth and fifth grade medicinal herbs, I don't think I've seen them before.

I just don't know if the Codex of Herbs has any records of them. "

Elder He also narrowed his eyes and thought carefully. He nodded in agreement, "I don't know. I've learned too little. I've learned too little."

Ou Peng interrupted in time, "Hall Master Bai, Elder He!"

This sentence woke the two of them up. Only then did they realize that they were in the discussion hall and not the medicine hall where they usually discussed knowledge. They hurriedly cupped their hands to everyone, "Seeing so many good medicinal herbs, I'm secretly delighted. I couldn't control myself. Please forgive me, Sect Master and everyone."

Everyone returned the greeting and said it was fine.

Ou Peng said, "Two sirs, what are the value and effects of these medicinal herbs?"

Elder He said, "I wonder where Sect Master obtained these rare medicinal herbs?

This ginseng, Tianqi, Tianjing, Polygonum multiflorum, and other herbs are all common. It's just that the age of these medicinal herbs is truly shocking. A hundred year old is already extremely rare. Unexpectedly, the worst of these herbs are three hundred years old.

As for the Golden Thread Grass, Snake Gall Grass, and other herbs, they are good for treating external injuries. This Snakebite Grass, Coral Grass, and Stone Wind Medicine are panaceas for treating internal injuries. The rest are all rare medicinal herbs. With the addition of other medicinal herbs, using the principle of a ruler and minister, and the principle of yin and yang to concoct medicine, it's certainly a rarely seen good thing. "

At this time, Hall Master Bai sobered up and hurriedly said, "Sect Master, the place where these things were discovered must be kept strictly confidential. Among them, the Dragon Beheading Grass and Peacock Grass can be used to concoct medicine similar to the Qi Generating Pill. It's recorded in our Misty Sect's ancient records." These words caused everyone's ears to perk up.

Ou Peng said, "Does the ancient records record how to concoct the Qi Generating Pill?"

Hall Master Bai said, "No, the formula for the Qi Generating Pill has long been lost. What's recorded in the ancient records are only a few similar pills. The effects are limited, and the required herbs are extremely rare."

Ou Peng said, "Hall Master Bai, take these medicinal herbs to the Pharmacy Hall to study and see what effects they have. Also, take a detailed look at the formula for those pills similar to the Qi Generating Pill. Be prepared, perhaps …"

Ou Peng hadn't finished speaking when Hall Master Bai had already understood tacitly. He immediately said, "I'll follow Sect Master's instructions."

Then, together with Elder He, he carefully carried the package and left the Conference Hall.

Ou Peng also instructed Zhang Chengyue to deploy more people to the Pharmacy Hall to protect it.

After Hall Master Bai and Elder He left, Ou Peng sat back in his chair.

His gaze fell on the small box on the table that he couldn't open no matter how hard he tried.

After thinking about it, he still instructed Zhang Chengyue to call Hall Master Shi of the Divine Engineering Hall. The Divine Engineering Hall was the place where the Misty Sect refined weapons and concealed weapons. Hall Master Shi was the master of forging weapons in Ping Yang City.

Not long after, Shi Yukun arrived at the Conference Hall. He observed the small box for a long time and used various methods, but he was similarly at a loss.

However, he hesitated for a moment and asked Ou Peng in a probing tone, "Sect Master, I think, why don't we let Shi Niu come over and try?"

Shi Niu was a boorish fellow from the Misty Sect who practiced the Strong King Kong Hand. His martial arts weren't very good, but his strength was top-notch. In addition, he specialized in the Strong King Kong Hand. In terms of strength alone, he was the best in the sect.

Shi Yukun's words enlightened him. The box was only a container to store things. In order to obtain the things in the box, it was good to keep the box intact. If they couldn't keep the box and open it skillfully, then they could only use brute force to crack it.

In the end, obtaining the things was the most important thing.

Shi Niu also arrived at the Conference Hall. He was a rather tall and muscular man. Standing, he was taller than everyone in the Conference Hall by a head. His entire body was filled with strong muscles. Looking at his honest and simple smiling face, Ou Peng didn't say much. He just passed the small box to him and gave him an order, "Open it."

Shi Niu received the box and didn't say much. He used his two hands to pry the box open. The box didn't move at all.

Then, Shi Niu placed the box on the ground and took a deep breath. His two arms suddenly became much thicker, and his two fingers became thicker. Then, Shi Niu shouted loudly. His eyes were fixed on the box, and he used his two hands to slap the box. There was a muffled sound as his two palm-leaf fan-like hands slapped the box. The box didn't shatter as everyone expected. Instead, Shi Niu slapped it flat into the Conference Hall's stone floor.

Shi Niu took out the box that was slapped into the stone floor. Looking at the perfectly intact box, he scratched his head and looked at the Sect Master with an innocent expression. He was very depressed.

He thought to himself, "What is this thing?"

After sending Shi Niu away, Ou Peng was also depressed. How should he deal with this box?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, but then he put it back in.

The eyes of the remaining people in the Conference Hall also lit up. They knew that the Sect Master had thought of a good way to open the box.

Zhang Chengyue didn't wait for Ou Peng's orders. He said to Shi Yukun, "Doesn't Hall Master Shi have a 'Broken Water'?

Why don't you give it a try? "

Shi Yukun glanced at Ou Peng. Seeing that the Sect Master didn't have any objections, he said, "Sect Master and everyone, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."

Not long after, Shi Yukun came back with a simple scabbard. He said to Ou Peng, "Sect Master, let me try it first."

Ou Peng nodded in agreement.

Shi Yukun pulled out the sword from the scabbard. This sword wasn't as shiny as other swords. Instead, it had a dark surface. Occasionally, light would reflect off the surface of the sword. It was a bit dazzling, like black lightning.

Shi Yukun raised the sword and tried to cut at the corner of the box. The box didn't react. Then, he took a deep breath and raised the 'Broken Water' again. He slashed at the corner of the box with all his strength.

However, there wasn't the cracking sound that everyone expected. There wasn't even any sound. It was as if the sword had cut through cotton. The box was still there, undamaged.

Ou Peng glanced at Shi Yukun, who was about to slash again, and said, "Give me the sword."

Ou Peng took the sword from Shi Yukun and placed the box on the ground in the small groove that the Stone Cow had created. Then, he circulated his qi in his dantian. The color on his face kept changing. It wasn't until the sixth time that he stopped. Old Four and Old Six looked at him with envious eyes. They thought to themselves, "Sect Master Senior Brother's Ethereal Divine Art is so profound. He's already cultivated it to the sixth level."

Ou Peng raised his' Broken Water 'and injected his Zhen Qi into the blade. The entire blade was no longer as dark as it used to be. Under the infusion of the Ethereal Divine Exercise, there were even some changes in color. Then, Ou Peng shouted and chopped towards the box.
