Clouds of poisonous miasma gradually floated over from afar.
Before the miasma arrived, the pungent smell had already filled the air.
Everyone present, including Bai Shenshen, felt their chests tighten and their breathing become uneven.
The young alchemists who had yet to reach the Subtle realm and condense their spiritual senses couldn't sense anything strange.
However, even Heavenly Medicine Sect's Bai Shenshen and Yu Yuan, who had unique Heavenly Souls, felt a suffocating pressure on their souls when the poisonous miasma approached them.
It was as if an evil creature had seen them as prey, or perhaps … food!
Bai Shenshen felt her hair stand on end. She looked at the poisonous miasma in shock and cried out, "W-why is the poisonous miasma moving?"
She had long since noticed the poisonous miasma floating above the swamp because Jin Fan and his disciples from the Guifu School had been appearing in that area recently.
The Heavenly Medicine Sect had long since set that area as a forbidden area and forbade disciples from entering.
The reason for this was that in the past hundred years, many of the Heavenly Medicine Sect's disciples had been poisoned and died while picking and exploring herbs in that area.
The poisonous miasma in that area was terrifyingly acidic, and the swamp was dangerous. There were also many poisonous insects gathered there.
The Heavenly Medicine Sect didn't refine poisonous pills, so the poisonous insects and herbs in the swamp were of no benefit to the disciples who studied the orthodox way of alchemy.
Alchemists with high realms had explored the area, but they only said that the environment there was strange and that there was a strange formation that had formed naturally.
Therefore, the swamp was listed as one of the forbidden areas in the Bifeng Mountain Range by the Heavenly Medicine Sect.
Bai Shenshen had long known that the area was dangerous and strange. Therefore, when she saw the activities of Jin Fan and his disciples from the Guifu School, she vigilantly observed them, but in fact, she was filled with malice.
She hoped that Jin Fan and his disciples would suffer a great loss and then obediently retreat from the Bifeng Mountain Range.
She never expected that after Jin Fan left, the poisonous miasma would float over with him.
"You! Run to the Heavenly Medicine Sect immediately! "
After the initial shock, Bai Shenshen quickly regained her composure. She pointed at the young alchemists of the various empires and said, "That miasma is poisonous! More than ten people from the Heavenly Medicine Sect have died in the past hundred years! Your realms are low, and you are still very young. Don't be careless and die here! "
She glanced at Yu Yuan and urged him to leave with her eyes. She wanted Yu Yuan to leave quickly.
"Take care, everyone!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
The group of pharmacists from the various empires who weren't considered old also sensed that something was wrong.
Everyone ignored Jin Fan's threat. After talking to Bai Shenshen, they suddenly scattered in all directions.
Jin Fan grinned and said, "I didn't ask you to leave, so stay."
"Hu!"
Banners with dense runes drawn on them whizzed out from the back of Jin Fan's clothes.
There were a total of nine banners. Looking at the banners carefully, there were lizards, centipedes, scorpions, spirit snakes, giant pythons with dragon horns, strange insects, and unknown spirit beasts.
The flag fluttered noisily in the wind, emitting a faint green, blue, and deep purple spirit light.
Rays of various colors spread out like a brilliant sea of light, covering the heads of the crowd.
"Bang! Bang! "
Most of the young pharmacists who tried to flee crashed into the spiritual power shield and were bounced back.
Only one third level Spirit grade pharmacist, who had three medicinal plants engraved on his chest, suddenly had a silver cone appear in his palm as he tried to flee.
That cone pierced through the spiritual power shield, allowing him to pass through in an instant.
A smile immediately appeared on his face, as if he had just escaped death, and he planned to run as fast as he could.
Jin Fan chuckled.
One of the banners suddenly turned into a purple lightning bolt and pierced through the young pharmacist's back like a long spear.
After killing the pharmacist, the blood-stained banners flew back lightly and joined the other eight banners.
The young pharmacist's body, which was bleeding profusely, seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and flew directly towards the poisonous miasma cloud that was gradually drifting over.
When the corpse reached the bottom of the cloud, it seemed to be caught by something and pulled into it.
"Crunch!"
The sound of bones being gnawed came from the poisonous miasma cloud, but not a single drop of blood fell from it.
Seeing that the pharmacist had escaped, they all took out their spiritual tools. The other pharmacists, who wanted to give it a try, suddenly turned pale and hesitated, holding their spiritual tools.
That pharmacist's instant death made them realize that if Jin Fan wanted to kill them, it would be as easy as flipping his hand.
"What's your name?"
Seeing that the juniors had quieted down, Jin Fan rolled his eyes and looked curiously at Yu Yuan. "Everyone else is running away. Why aren't you moving?"
Yu Yuan's reaction was truly abnormal.
While all of the young pharmacists were planning to leave the Heavenly Medicine Sect, Yu Yuan was the only one who stood like a boulder, without the slightest intention of running away.
Yu Yuan's eyes were clear and bright, and his eyes were bright. He wasn't a fool.
Since that was the case, why didn't he run away, knowing that danger was approaching?
Jin Fan found it strange, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
"The difference between our realms is too great. Since you've said that you're not allowed to leave, there's no point in running away." Under his gaze, Yu Yuan could still be considered calm. "I know that whether I run or not, the result will be the same. In fact, I might even die faster like that fellow. So I might as well be a little more obedient. "
As soon as he said this, the few people who were still hesitating suddenly gave up in dejection.
"Senior from the Guifu School, we have no grudges. Please don't kill us, alright?"
"Why don't you capture me alive? My clan's ancestor dotes on me a lot. There are also some rare spirit insects in the back mountain of my clan that will be helpful for you to cultivate the spirit arts of the Guifu School! "
"Senior, I'm also quite skilled in the dao of talismans! And the Guifu School is the holy land of cultivation that I've always dreamed of! Senior, why don't you test my attainments in talismans and see if I'm qualified enough to catch your eye and be accepted as your disciple? "
Seeing that they couldn't escape, those who were smart immediately found another way and used all kinds of methods to beg for mercy.
Jin Fan chuckled and looked at the young alchemists who were racking their brains to beg for mercy with a mocking gaze. "To be honest, among you, only the descendant of King Wei Ling that I let go is worthy of my attention. With your attainments in medicine refinement and talismans, it might be something in the Qian Xuan Continent, but in the Tranquil Continent, it's nothing special. "
"Don't waste your time. You don't deserve to be my direct disciples, nor do you deserve to enter the Guifu School."
"Besides, my three personal disciples were sent into the poisonous miasma cloud by my carelessness and were devoured by that thing. I don't even feel sorry for their deaths, let alone you guys. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked as if they had lost their parents.
"Kid, you're still worthy of my attention." Jin Fan glanced at Yu Yuan again. "Unfortunately, your cultivation base is too low, and you don't seem to be an alchemist. You probably don't have much potential." He shook his head lightly and felt regretful.
"Senior, I sincerely hope that you'll be able to control that thing well. Don't play with fire and get yourself burned." With these words, Yu Yuan put on a fake smile and started rummaging through the cloth pouch at his waist and the inner pouch at his chest.
He had planned to come to the Jade Peak Mountain Range before coming to the forbidden land of the Falling Moons, so he had made some preparations.
