Chapter 323: The recipe that I can’t remember

A simple jade talisman appeared in the air and floated to Lin Xi. She stretched out her right hand and grasped it.

"This is an ancient secret method. It has been slightly modified by me. It is considered magical. However, it may not be of much use, hahaha!" Song Miao let out a sly and proud laugh.

The demon girl stuffed it into Jin Ziming's clasped left hand, and the two's consciousness was immersed in it, and they learned the name of this technique, which was called "Hand-Hand Invisibility Technique".

The method of cultivation is not difficult, but it can only be used for couples who are in love and have complete trust in each other.

When two people run their skills and walk hand in hand, the body of one of them can completely become insubstantial and disappear.

And his breath will mix into the Taoist couple's body, causing her soul breath to also change.

The invisible person can be male or female, it just depends on whether the invisible person or the visible person is running the method.

"The disadvantage of this secret is obvious. You must keep holding your hands and continue to practice." The man said.

"But there is also something against the heavens. Two people, especially invisible people, can shield the secrets of heaven to a certain extent.

For example, if you find that you have no hope of breaking through the tribulation and are likely to die under the thunder tribulation, you can try to use the 'Hand in Hand Invisibility Technique' with a Taoist companion.

When his breath completely disappears from the world, God will probably think that he has been hacked to death, so he will disperse the thunder clouds and save a small life."

"It's really amazing to be able to evade the lock of Tianji like this."

While they were studying the exercises, another person was eliminated.

Ming Qian Xiaodao and Li Jian were obviously better able to withstand pain than others. Soon, they walked out of a corridor respectively.

After passing the first two levels, only ten people were left. They arrived at different locations in a forest one after another. This was the third level of the trial.

In front of everyone, a huge stone tablet appeared, with the following words inscribed on it:

"Remember the elixir recipe below and walk out of this Forest of Forgetfulness. If you can carve the elixir recipe on the blank wooden board at the end of the road, you will pass the level. Otherwise, you can only continue to try.

You have twelve hours, and those who fail to pass the test will be thrown out of the island. Remember, you can only use your soul to remember, and you are not allowed to burn, write, etc.

Regardless of whether you remember the recipe or not, you cannot exchange methods with each other, otherwise I will clear your relevant memories and let you start from scratch.

Also, your spiritual pets, weapon spirits, soul insects, etc. have all been temporarily banned by me, so I can’t give you any reminders. Now the timer starts!”

Lin Xi and Jin Ziming were shocked. The last one was obviously aimed at them.

The elixir recipe at the bottom contains a total of twenty-three medicinal materials, which are:

"Twelve drops of two-thousand-year-old chalcedony, three strains of Poison Gland Grass, one late-level fifth-level Black Crane Inner Pill, two top-grade fire crystals, half a five-thousand-year-old golden Buddha's hand, one ten-thousand-year-old Xia Rong grass,..."

Remembering these contents was extremely easy for the monks. Everyone suppressed the doubts in their hearts and stepped into the path in the forest.

The road is paved with gray, yellow and white cobblestones, and is lined with Forget-you trees on both sides.

The crown of the tree is large and full of dark green needle-shaped leaves. Dense black whiskers hang down from the trunk and branches, intertwined with the dark roots emerging from the ground.

The breeze blew, and the green leaves swayed gently. Lin Xi childishly stretched out his hand to touch the needles. The needles were frightened and immediately closed them. The branches they belonged to also shot out alertly, avoiding the witch that harassed it.

The air is fresh, the cool breeze is blowing, and the branches and leaves make a rustling sound, which makes it more harmonious and peaceful.

The practitioners' hearts were clear and they were intoxicated by the beauty and pleasantness of the woods. A magical scene appeared. Every time they took a step forward, their hair grew longer.

The two of them, Jin Lin, were not far apart. They were walking on the trail one after the other. Their attention was attracted by the beautiful scenery, and they almost forgot the purpose of their trip.

Seeing Lin Xi's long hair hanging down, the man suddenly woke up halfway through the journey. He quickly recalled the recipe and found that except for the first three flavors, the rest had been forgotten.

He stopped the demon girl and asked: "Lin Xi, do you still remember the contents of the prescription?"

The demon girl was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "What kind of prescription? Ah,... Oops, I only remember two medicinal ingredients."

"I forgot too." Jin Ziming spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Shall we go back now? Walk through it again."

"Wait a minute, I want to see how far I go, and I won't even be able to remember a single medicine."

Lin Xi nodded, and the two of them continued to move forward in silence. Their hair was still growing longer. Lin Xi in front had black hair that was almost above her waist.

Jin Ziming counted his steps silently. After five hundred steps forward, he forgot another medicine. Going forward, he forgot the medicine faster and faster. In the end, they had to give up and start to turn back.

Returning to the starting point, after the two of them wrote down the recipe, they did not set off immediately. Instead, they thought about how to keep this memory. Soon, they both came up with their own ideas.

Lin Xi's method is to recall the elixir recipe every time he takes a step to make sure that he has not forgotten it before taking the next step. Although this method is stupid, it may be effective.

Jin Ziming is much more cunning. He just forgets it when he feels like it. He just goes to the end of the road and then uses the "non-choice, destroy, inaction" method to connect to the Wangyou tree there.

Wouldn't it be easier to let it tell me what the prescriptions written by those who passed it before were?

Since they couldn't communicate with each other, the two looked at each other, smiled and started on the road again. The man was in high spirits, with his long hair flying in the wind, looking particularly unruly and unrestrained.

The enchantress frowned, looking very attentive. She walked very slowly, one step at a time.

Jin Ziming took the lead and reached the end first. Naturally, the prescription had long been forgotten. He sat down cross-legged and began to use the "Non-Selection, Destruction and Inaction" and "Nianli Jue".

What Mang Han is best at is communicating with plants. It didn't take long for him to connect to a big tree next to him.

After some pleasantries, he asked: "Dashu, have you ever seen anyone successfully pass the level? What did he write on the wooden board?"

The Forgotten Tree did not respond, but conveyed a picture that made people laugh or cry through its soul.

An old woman smiled jokingly at him and said loudly:

"Boy, you are very smart and your methods are good. Unfortunately, no tester has ever been on the island before, and the only person who has passed the test is Lao Shen.

I naturally remember the prescription, but there is no need to carve it on the wooden board. Even if you ask several trees, you won't get the answer.

I advise you to go back honestly and stop wasting time and taking advantage of opportunities."

Jin Ziming was stunned. He didn't expect such a result. He had to laugh at himself and quickly returned. Halfway there, he met Lin Xi, who was retreating with a droopy face.

Her method also failed. Even if she memorized it every step she took, she would still forget it after taking too many steps.

The two returned to the starting point and tried again. Smart, stupid, and average methods were used one by one.

Due to the inability to communicate, sometimes a method that has failed has been used by another person.

The sky gradually darkened and night fell. Until dawn, the two of them were still shuttling back and forth on this path, unable to do anything. They watched helplessly as the twelve-hour deadline got closer and closer.

Among the ten people, Mingqian Trail has been successfully cleared, so he naturally used the method of time.

When he reached the end, his soul plunged into his own time. Despite the interference set by Lord Song Miaozhen in advance, the journey was filled with mist.

But with his extraordinary understanding of the way of the past, his spiritual consciousness successfully returned to the starting point, saw the elixir recipe, and naturally and accurately described it. He became the winner of this level and received the corresponding reward.

After thinking hard, Lin Xi finally realized that she had overlooked an important clue, that is, hair.

Why is the hair the same length every time it reaches the end point, but returns to the original length when it returns to the starting point?

Does the length of hair represent a certain memory node? Is it possible to mark the end of each hair with your soul after writing down the recipe at the starting point?

And at the end, if you cut off the excess hair, will you be able to return to the state you were at the starting point and recall the contents of the recipe?

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, feeling that this method might work, and that this path would just make people forget about the recipe.

As for other memories, there will be no omissions. At the end of the road, you should be able to think of the soul mark on the tip of your hair.

The witch was so furious that she ignored the man and started to work directly. When she came to the finish line, she silently recalled the marks on each hair and found that they were as clear as a beacon in the dark night.

Lin Xi no longer hesitated, and with her fingers like a sword, she cut off all the newly grown hair. When the last few black hairs fell, her mind suddenly became clear.

The elixir recipe on the stone tablet seemed to be right in front of her eyes. There were twenty-three herbs, each with a lot of ingredients. The demon girl pursed her lips and smiled, it was done! Looking at a few blank wooden boards on the ground, she hesitated slightly.

In the end, Lin Xi did not pick up the board, but turned around and retreated. The cut hair quickly changed back and fell below her knees again.

She took more than ten steps and was surprised to find that although her hair was getting shorter, she had not forgotten the successful method just now.

When she returned to the starting point, she found that the man had a sad face and was still racking his brains in meditation. His hair had been messed up by him, but he didn't realize it.

Lin Xi showed a charming smile to her lover and said proudly: "Jin Zi, I succeeded."

"Wow, you are so powerful! Then why are you back again?"

"Idiot, you haven't passed the test yet. I didn't carve the elixir formula on the wooden board, so you can still come back here. Do you think you can find a way?"

The reckless man thought for a while and sighed:

"There are still more than three hours until the deadline. I really have no confidence that I can get this done in such a short period of time."

"Okay, then don't memorize the recipe now, but think about how I can bring you there without breaking the rules?" the demon girl said decisively.

"Then you can do it again. I will stand side by side with you and carefully observe every move you make. You'd better go slower. It should inspire me to find the answer."

Lin Xi was thinking about whether it was possible, but unexpectedly a voice sounded in their heads: "This is cheating, no!"

The mangy man's heart sank, knowing that Lord Song Miaozhen was warning him, so he had to start thinking again and find a new way out. After a while, an idea suddenly came to him.
