After a flash of white light, Linlong realized that he was alone in a forest that he could not see the end of. The trees in the forest were extremely tall and there were even some that required more than ten people to wrap their arms around.
The forest seemed very quiet and only traces of light shone through the treetops onto the ground.
It seemed that the people who entered were randomly distributed in various places, Linlong thought to himself.
That should be the case. Otherwise, he would not appear here alone with Lin Shiyin.
After taking out the compass given to him by the Alchemist Alliance before entering the mystic realm, Linlong began to search for the rewards according to the coordinates he had obtained from solving the previous questions.
…
Time passed by slowly and after an unknown amount of time, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth holding a compass arrived between two tall trees.
"It should be here," he muttered.
After looking around and not discovering anyone else, he picked up a stick beside him and began to dig in the ground. The sand and stones on the ground were very loose and very quickly, a square wooden box was dug out by him.
Seeing this box, a look of joy appeared on his face.
This box looked like it had been buried for god knows how many years but due to the special wood used, the box did not show any signs of rotting.
However, this youth clearly did not care about the materials used in the box. He was only interested in what was inside.
With a little bit of force, the wooden box was immediately opened by him and he saw a small brocade box inside.
The brocade box was very exquisite but from the surface of the brocade box, it should have been placed for many years like the wooden box.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the youth opened the brocade box. Then, he saw a pill placed inside.
It looked like a sparkling and translucent pill.
"It's actually the Extreme Clear Pill! This trip is really not in vain!" After identifying this pill, the youth immediately exclaimed in joy.
This pill was a type of pill that was designated to be refined in the alchemy competition.
However, one should not think that these items were cheap just because they were casually taken out to refine so many materials. In reality, these items, including the pill, were all extremely expensive. To most alchemists, these items were extremely valuable.
Some of them struggled their entire lives and might not even be able to obtain a type of pill refined from these items.
And this Extreme Clear Pill was undoubtedly a valuable asset to this youth who had just advanced to a third-grade alchemist.
After putting away the Extreme Clear Pill, the young man carefully looked around before picking up the compass again and walking in another direction.
"I hope the next location will be the same." The young man thought happily.
However, after walking for a short while, four people jumped down from the big trees next to them.
The young man was stunned. He had no idea what these people were up to. However, when he saw that one of them was someone he knew, he immediately frowned and scolded, "Ye Ming, what are you grade-2 alchemists doing?"
From their attire, he could tell that they were all second-grade alchemists.
"Nothing. I just want you to hand over the treasures you have. Otherwise …!" Ye Ming's face turned grim immediately.
Ye Ming and the other three were tall. The young man who was surrounded was clearly one size smaller than them.
However, he did not feel the slightest bit afraid, because he had already tried, and there was no way to use profound qi in this map.
"Hahaha." The young man laughed out loud. "Ye Ming, you idiot. You're just a grade-2 alchemist, and you want me to hand over the things to you? Are you out of your mind? Get lost now. Otherwise, you'll suffer when we get out of the secret zone. "
A grade-3 alchemist's status and identity were much higher than a grade-2 alchemist's. That was why the young man dared to say something like that.
"Idiot?" Ye Ming chuckled. "Then, I'll show you who's the idiot here … Go!"
Ye Ming seemed to be the leader of these people. As soon as he gave the order, the rest surrounded him immediately.
"Idiot, not only can't you use profound qi here, but you'll also be forcefully reflected when you hit someone," the young man scoffed.
However, his smile soon froze on his face because the punches from the three people who surrounded him did not rebound. Instead, they landed on his face.
Although he was a martial artist, he could not use profound qi, so how could he defend himself? He was beaten to the ground after a few punches and kicks.
"How is that possible? How can it not rebound? What the hell is this Runic Formation doing? "he shouted in shock.
He could not figure out why this place was different from the outside world. Moreover, the Alchemist Union's mentors had repeatedly emphasized that attacking one's opponent would be useless in such a map. Why was it different here?
"Hahaha, I don't know why either. All I know is that I can beat you up now!" Ye Ming said proudly. He stomped on the young man's face as soon as he was done speaking.
Although this young man did not bully him outside the secret zone, his arrogant expression pissed him off.
'So what if you're a grade-3 alchemist? You're just like a dog before me now!' With that thought in mind, he stomped even harder and knocked the young man out directly.
"Ye Ming, be gentle. What if you stomp him to death?" Someone said in worry upon seeing Ye Ming's action.
Ye Ming scoffed. "It's better if you stomp him to death. Do you want him to take revenge on you when we get out?"
Upon hearing what Ye Ming said, the person who had figured it out immediately felt his heart palpitate. If they really let Ye Ming go, they would definitely be in trouble when they got out. A grade-3 alchemist's ability and connections were not something they could resist at all.
"Why aren't you coming over and killing him?" Ye Ming shouted.
The few people who understood that they could not leave him alive hurried over and beat the young man to death.
Subsequently, they began searching the young man's body.
"Yo, not bad. You actually obtained three medicinal pills in such a short time … Come, everyone except Ah Pei will get one. Ah Pei, I'll give you the rewards later …"
After dividing the pills, the few of them left immediately to look for their next target.
They initially came here to have fun, but their ambition exploded uncontrollably after discovering that they could attack people in this place.
One must know that the treasures in here were originally out of reach for them. But now, they were so easily obtainable.
Moreover, by relying on the strength and strength of their bodies, they could make these arrogant alchemists bow at their feet. How refreshing was that?
The few of them could be said to be the first batch to realize this. Soon, many other idling grade-2 alchemists also realized this.
Apart from the grade-2 alchemists, some grade-3 and grade-4 alchemists also realized this.
This discovery caused a bloodbath in the entire forest. In here, no matter what grade one's alchemist rank was, no matter which realm one was in, if one's fist wasn't as hard as others, then only death or escape awaited one.
…
Lin Long's figure appeared in front of an ancient tomb. He walked to the ancient tomb's stone tablet. After taking the stone tablet away, there was actually a cave entrance underneath.
Lin Long jumped in without hesitation.
It was a completely different world inside. There was a tunnel that allowed two people to walk at the same time. The tunnel was not long. After taking a few steps and turning left, Lin Long saw a stone house.
There was only a stone table inside, and there was a stone box on the stone table. Lin Long lifted the stone box and opened it. The item inside was revealed to Lin Long.
It was a brocade box. Lin Long had seen many brocade boxes like this before, so he knew that this brocade box was used to store elixirs.
Indeed, after opening it, he discovered that there was a grade-4 elixir inside.
When he picked up the elixir, a somewhat damaged piece of paper that was made of a very special material was also taken out along with the elixir.
If anyone was here, they would definitely be very shocked. This was because Lin Long did not even look at the elixir and casually threw it into his pocket. Instead, he paid attention to the piece of paper.
These elixirs were not attractive to Lin Long at all. The reason why he paid so much attention to the piece of paper was because he could already tell that this piece of paper was simply a small piece of a map.
He had already obtained three pieces of such a map before this.
The more he looked at these maps, the more he felt that if he collected all of these map fragments, he would very likely be able to find the location of the spirit fire.
Because of this, he paid so much attention to this piece of paper.
Indeed, with one look, this map fragment was clearly different from the other three pieces that he had collected previously.
Along the way, Lin Long realized that the coordinates before the twentieth question did not have such a map fragment. Only the coordinates after the twentieth question would have such a map fragment.
Lin Long wondered if he would be able to obtain the entire map after finding these coordinates after he had completed a hundred questions.
This was a question that he could not figure out at the moment. He could only wait for himself to answer it.
Just as he was about to return, he heard a noise from the entrance of the cave. When he walked out to take a look, he saw a panic-looking young lady jumping down from the entrance of the cave.
"Who are you?" Lin Long frowned and asked.
Although this young lady looked very beautiful, Lin Long did not have the slightest bit of tenderness for the fairer sex.
This was because after entering this map, he realized that although this map restricted the use of Celestial Qi, it did not restrict attacking others.
However, the young lady did not answer him. Instead, she said to Lin Long anxiously, "Lin Long, please help me. There are many people loitering around this ancient tomb. I'm afraid that they will harm me."
"Then aren't you afraid that I will harm you?" Lin Long asked.
"I don't think you're that kind of person." The young lady raised her head and looked at Lin Long.
After some thought, Lin Long said, "Sure … but there's a condition for me to help you."
"What condition?" The young lady had a bad feeling.
"Let me see your spoils of war. If there's anything that interests me, I'll help you," Lin Long said calmly.
This was clearly a tiger's den only to enter a wolf's lair. The young lady really wanted to cry.
However, since Lin Long was clearly stronger than her, she had no choice but to take out a small bag that contained her spoils of war.
After receiving it, Lin Long opened it immediately.
