In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 315 Ancient Alchemist

It is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially for the Spirit Realm.

After all, this secret realm will suppress the strength of the Mountain and Sea Realm to the level of the Spirit Realm.

That would be perfect for Nangong Jinyi's current cultivation level.

Moreover, this level of secret realm actually released seventh-grade pills.

Or is it a quantity of hundreds?

"In ancient times, were there really so many seventh-grade pills?" Shen Xing couldn't help but ask.

"That was indeed a brilliant era." The saintess nodded slightly, her tone filled with longing. "The ancient times that we in our holy lands refer to are not ten thousand years ago, but about two hundred thousand years ago. In that era, even a Great Saint of the Eighth Realm could not compare to the Saints of today. It is said that there were even beings of the Ninth Realm. In addition, alchemy and weapon crafting were incredibly powerful. The accumulation and wealth of a Seventh-Rank Alchemist in ancient times are unimaginable even to the Saints of today."

Shen Xing understood.

In truth, the world is really on a downward spiral.

It was once so powerful, but now, with the passage of time, it has become so weak that even the Human Federation may not be able to match it.

It's important to remember that 200,000 years ago, humans were just primitive humans.

However, since there are secret realms passed down to this day, we cannot underestimate this world. There may be many secrets that he does not yet know.

Furthermore, if what this person says is true, this world has indeed produced many beings at the eighth or even ninth realm.

The lifespan of a sixth-realm cultivator is already close to ten thousand years. So how long can an eighth-realm or ninth-realm cultivator live?

Shen Xing suddenly felt some pressure.

However, it only lasted for a brief moment.

No matter what he faces in the future, what he needs to do is the same: to keep striving to become stronger.

"In that case, I'll go too," Shen Xing said, then suddenly looked at the people in front of him, lost in thought. "You came to me not just to make a good connection, right?"

That's right, he's already realized it.

These people in front of him seemed to have no ill intentions, or perhaps they were shocked by his methods, but their special appearance at this time might not be unrelated to this secret realm.

It should be noted that even sages are paying attention to everything within the secret realm.

"That's right." The saintess whose name she didn't know until now didn't mince words and said directly, "We can cooperate. All the pills we get are yours, but there's something else we can share. We hope that Young Master Shen can exchange it."

"So much confidence in me?" Shen Xing suddenly laughed. "I haven't even made a move many times."

That's right, he never personally took action in the Central Ruins.

Judging from their reactions, it's clear that they came up with the idea on the spur of the moment.

But she seemed to have great confidence in him.

"Young Master Shen, you may not know this," the woman chuckled, the bells tied to her thigh swaying gently, "your junior sister has been making quite a splash lately."

"Oh?" Shen Xing was indeed curious upon hearing this. "I've been in seclusion for a while, so I haven't found out what she's been doing."

It should be noted that Nangong Jinyi's strength was only at the fourth level. Although he had the few jade talismans that he sent over at the end to protect him, he had nothing else.

She has no teleportation shuttle, no faster-than-light missiles, and she doesn't even have her own armor.

Even so, what could they possibly do that would alarm the holy sons and daughters of countless suns and moons and countless holy lands?

Fortunately, the person in front of me didn't seem to have the habit of keeping me in suspense.

At this moment, she said directly, "First, she defeated all the next generation of Holy Maidens from the Azure Cloud Holy Land, obtaining the qualification to inherit the Heavenly Grade Divine Intent, and successfully inherited it in one fell swoop. Then, she was hunted down in the Azure Cloud Holy Land, but managed to escape from the encirclement of four Mountain and Sea Realm experts. Afterward, she even turned the Azure Cloud Holy Land upside down with a Seventh Realm Jade Talisman. Of course, what is most astonishing is that before entering the secret realm, she defeated all the Spirit Realm candidate Holy Sons and Holy Maidens from more than fourteen Holy Lands one by one!"

Clearly, the last thing was the main reason that truly attracted the attention of these powerful beings at the Sun and Moon levels.

Nangong Jinyi defeated these candidates for holy sons from the holy land!

Shen Xing now roughly understands what the geniuses within these holy lands are all about.

The titles of Holy Son and Holy Daughter represent the strongest person in a holy land, at least above the Mountain and Sea realm, and continue until the Sun and Moon realm. Only when they step into the seventh realm will they relinquish this title to the next person. At the same time, the strongest group of people in the Spirit Realm are called "candidates".

When the existing holy sons and daughters reach the realm of sainthood, the next one will be chosen from among these candidates.

This means that they are all the most outstanding among these holy sites!

Nangong Jinyi defeated all of these geniuses who were also in the Spirit Realm!

"Your junior sister has stated more than once that she is only ranked around the top 100 in the forces behind you, while you are the number one genius in history. Regardless of how much of this is true or false, it is enough for us to trust your strength, Young Master Shen," the saintess continued with a smile.

In fact, after meeting her just once, she became even more convinced of this idea.

It wasn't just her; some people around her were the same.

Because of the momentum.

That domineering aura cannot be faked.

This person's strength was only at the Mountain and Sea level. Even if he wore that magical and powerful armor, he could not compare to the Heavenly Demon Buddha. However, he did not take the so-called Heavenly Demon Buddha seriously at all.

Combined with what Nangong Jinyi said, even if the claim is exaggerated, this person could still indiscriminately kill people in the secret realm.

This kind of strength is exactly what they need.

"What do you want?" Shen Xing asked directly.

"Naturally, it is the inheritance of the ancient alchemy path." At this moment, another person spoke up. This was a man with a somewhat disheveled appearance, or rather, an unkempt man, but he was indeed a powerful expert at the Sun and Moon Realm. He said directly to Shen Xing, "In the secret realm, there is a competition. If you are strong enough, you are qualified to receive the inheritance of the ancient alchemy path. In the past, everyone could only receive a part of it. If you receive it, we are willing to pay a sufficient price to share it."

"And who are you?" Shen Xing asked the man who had spoken again.

He had already noticed that this person possessed a unique charisma.

That's right, it's that kind of temperament that's crazy about alchemy or weapon crafting.

"I come from Liantianfang," he said directly.

Shen Xing's eyes lit up immediately.

"The Holy Son of the Heaven Refining Workshop?"

"No, I am not the Holy Son." The man's face darkened, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just shook his head and said, "You can call me Hua Hui. I know you plan to study at my Lian Tian Fang. As long as you can obtain the inheritance, not only will I become a guest of honor for you, but you will also become a distinguished guest of the entire Lian Tian Fang."

Shen Xing didn't care much about those uncertain footprints from before.

But what Hua Hui said did indeed tempt Shen Xing somewhat.

For him personally, and for the entire civilization, alchemy and weapon crafting techniques were of paramount importance.

Liantianfang seems to combine these two aspects.

In other words, the Refining Heaven Workshop is a place you absolutely must conquer.

Either be friendly or use force.

And now, it seems there is an opportunity for friendly contact?

After thinking it over, Shen Xing readily agreed, "It doesn't seem like it would do me any harm, so I have no reason to refuse."

"Alright." The woman chuckled again, "We will also tell Young Master Shen everything we know about this secret realm."

The others also relaxed considerably, without prior arrangement.

The atmosphere was clearly becoming more and more relaxed.

Some even took out a secret treasure, instantly transforming the surrounding area into a huge pavilion.

This treasure also seemed extraordinary, allowing Shen Xing to witness an even more wondrous scene in the realm of martial arts.

Subsequently, he obtained the information he wanted from these people.

This secret realm, though called a secret realm, is actually extremely large, incredibly large, with layers upon layers of internal space. Even though it only opens once every thousand years, no one knows the full extent of this secret realm to this day.

It can be said that the Xuanlong Secret Realm that Shen Xing previously possessed could not compare with this secret realm, even in terms of size alone.

Its creator was at least at the late stage of the seventh realm, and possibly even stronger.

During the time it is open until it is closed, everyone under the sun and moon can enter.

Upon entering, one will find oneself in a random space where various challenges will arise. Some are illusions, some are pursued by powerful monsters, and some simply group several participants together, with only the final victor qualified to pass.

You will then enter the space of the next level.

Each level is more difficult than the last.

The current limit is the fourth level. Once you reach this level, you can obtain some alchemical inheritance.

Clearly, this hurdle is what these people are expecting of Shen Xing.

"Just take me to the entrance." Shen Xing already had a plan in mind.

It's simply a test of strength, potential, and willpower.

For him, there was indeed no problem.

Moreover, Shen Xing also wanted to know if he could enter the secret realm at any time if he also set up coordinates in this secret realm.

If possible.

There should still be quite a few remaining pills here.

With this expectation, Shen Xing arrived at the entrance.

It's called an entrance, but it's actually just a teleportation array.

This is different from most secret realms—they are all hidden in a closed space.

Shen Xing was already quite familiar with the process.

Activate directly.

In an instant, he could clearly sense the changes in space, and the profoundness of these changes made his eyes light up slightly.

It has already far surpassed the ordinary seventh realm.

Since mastering the Five Realms Space, Shen Xing has been exploring the mysteries of space. He has long realized that he is extremely sensitive to space and has a strong ability to control it.

It's just unclear whether this ability comes from the shuttle or is something he already possesses.

But in any case, his perception at this moment was profound, but not indestructible.

"Could there be a chance to cheat?" Shen Xing's interest grew even stronger.

He was observing everything around him. It was a vast desert, so vast that it seemed to stretch to the horizon, and above him was an equally enormous "fireball" that was scorching everything around it.

Furthermore, there is no vitality.

Yes, there is no vital energy in this space, or rather, the vital energy is extremely scarce.

"Is this what desert treasure hunting is like?" Shen Xing murmured the name of the test.

Yes, this is not some unprecedented test; on the contrary, this place has appeared more than once in nearly ten trials over the past ten thousand years.

It requires the test takers to explore the entire desert in this extremely harsh environment and find the "treasure" within.

Among them are elixirs and "keys" that can help you pass the level.

If they can't find it, then in this environment, even ordinary spirit realm cultivators would only face certain death. If they didn't bring any elixirs, they probably wouldn't even survive for a few months.

also--

"It really has an effect." Shen Xing felt the changes in himself at this moment. "The flow of Yuan energy has become abnormally slow, and it is also being lost rapidly."

Clearly, something is accelerating the loss of his elemental energy and restricting its flow.

Shen Xing tried it briefly and found that it was indeed suppressed.

However, the effect of the suppression was not as exaggerated as expected—at this moment, when I was at the peak of my spiritual realm, I was still much stronger!

"This is different from what those people said." Shen Xing narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised.

But he quickly guessed the reason.

Because he had already realized that this suppression seemed to be a kind of suppression similar to the level of dragon power.

It's incredibly mysterious.

It cannot be explained simply by "quality" or "quantity".

Even so, it clearly does not possess a dominant suppressive force over its own Yuan Power, or rather, the current suppression is only achieved through its advantage in "realm quality".

"It's a pity it's not a trial for combat." Shen Xing was slightly disappointed.

However, I don't really care.

Finding things was also a very simple task for him.

At that moment, he directly pulled out a high-powered detection device from his own space shuttle.

Now that we have money, the flying shuttle space is filled with all sorts of high-tech gadgets.

From weapons to functions, and even a wide range of materials.

It can be said that the shuttle at this moment embodies the technological achievements of an interstellar civilization.

With just a glance, Shen Xing laughed.

All the elemental reactions, no matter how concealed, were clearly visible.

This is a completely different field after all. No matter how much that ancient seventh-grade alchemist tested it, he would never have imagined that someone would use such a method to break it.

Shen Xing casually walked to a marked spot and raised his hand.

A treasure chest flew up from the depths of the desert, enveloped in elemental energy.

Inside was a Rank 6 pill!

There are at least forty or fifty such elemental reactions here.

This is only the first hurdle!

Even Shen Xing felt that they were being a bit too extravagant.
