A mysterious baby was left one night in the forest of beasts, but misfortune turns into a blessing

and disguise when it was adopted by five masters that each specialize in their magical techniques.

A grandeur raised the boy, they also imparted to him their various techniques,

making the child, who they named Woon-Sul, one of the kind. All of having godlike strength,

the five masters are in danger of having their inner balance from being broken.

And so, Woon-Sul sets out to the outside world to become a god, wanting to take revenge on his

masters behalf, so begins his journey as an alchemist. A story begins during a night in the forest of

beasts in the Yondemation. The moon is out and the air is filled with a light fog, spooky indeed. This

scary and yet quiet night was broken by the sound of running, and of something crying. The sudden

movement caused the birds to scatter, and the leaves to rustle. A man heaves heavy breaths as he runs

into the forest, seemed moved after action. He is injured, with small cuts along his body. He gives

the impression of a tough and hardened man. However, he seems quite concerned, but not for himself.

It is revealed that he is carrying a baby as he is escaping from something. The man desperately

wished for the baby to stop crying, as he's worried it would attract more trouble than they are

already in. He referred to the child as my lord, indicating that the baby was of noble birth.

He silently begged his young master to stay quiet if they are to survive.

Seeing that he had to do something to make a young master stop crying, the man rushed to his spot

to hide behind a tree. He looked back with worry from where they came from, but his expression changed into

that of happiness when he turned his attention to the child. Apparently, the baby had rested or eaten

for a few days, perhaps from their escape. The man commends his young master for enduring their

hardship and says that nothing less is expected from the son of their head of the house. He looks

down to find the baby smiling at him, delighted at the fact that the baby seems to recognize him,

The man managed to form a smile. Unfortunately, the happy moment went last. Seemingly faced with

no choice, the man asks for an apology from his young lord for what he was about to do as he

rips out a piece of his cloth. Tired in with no other way, he stuffs the ball of cloth on the baby's

mouth in order to prevent it from making the loud sound. The man then bade his young master to

survive at all costs, before tying the bundle with the baby on a tree. He then runs away,

Determine to lure whatever was chasing them to his direction. The man takes one last

look at the baby tied to a tree before disappearing into the night. The bravery of this man

cannot be understated is already a legend in my book. Might turns into mourning. As the next day,

we see an old man with a long beard, glasses, and a cane strolling through the forest.

He's accompanied by his parrot, who seems to have learned a new sound,

imitating the cry of the baby from the night before. The old man, of course, has no idea where his

parent learned how to make that sound, as he was curious whether or not it was because of a trick

from a magic beast, or otherwise known as a warcraft. His trail of thoughts were broken, however,

as he noticed that his burden had landed on a branch with a bundle of clothes on it. The elderly

man took it down and was genuinely surprised that a crime baby was inside. He wonders about the

thing that might have happened that a child would be brought to the forest. But thinking about the

baby's safety, the old man decides to bring the child to the ghost village first. The very ominous

name the call your village, but no judgment. As the man was walking along the path, all the sudden

the surroundings were slowly getting thick with fog. The elderly man noticed something was off,

and mysterious hand reached out from the smoke. The situation does a good job of making you think

that they're in trouble, but actually they aren't. From the smoke, another man materialized,

but this one is noticeably younger than the first one, with dark brown hair instead of white.

The newcomer greets the elderly man, and says that he was glad to see the latter safe from his

trips. But the elderly man gives no reply to his companion's concern, though he explains that

there really was a baby boy crying the forest from the night before. The men noted that even if

the baby is as young as it was, it definitely had a story as to why he ended up there. Cloud swirled

into some sort of tunnel, where the end of it is silhouette of a village could be seen. The men

cut their conversation short as the elder of the two asked the other to prepare the other masters

for their unusual guests. Back in the village, their companions seemed unsure of how to react

to the baby itself. Either they had a curious expression or a timid one on their faces.

One of the masters asked where the baby came from and how come the old master had returned

from his travels with a child? The other masters seemed to take a fence against this,

annoyed that the others were implying that this child was his. After the confusion was cleared up,

the master who asked sheepishly retracted his statement and decided to bring up the thought of

of them raising the baby together. Again, the oldest of the masters reiterated that raising the child would be their responsibility. Since he is old, he couldn't bear the weight of doing it by himself. Suddenly, one master, not huddling towards the baby, spoke up, asking whether or not the decision has been made if they're raising or teaching the child. This blonde-haired master seems to be the youngest out of all of them, and seems to be missing with his arms. Either way, he said, "He has nothing to do with the baby, and so is an entitled to take care of it."

One master from the group didn't take this behavior quite well, and somebody called out this

blond-haired master for his cold hardness despite being handicapped himself.

This caused the old master to call out the stressed master by his name, Jengen.

He reminded his group that their native is broken, which is a technique used by alchemists

to essentially become immortal in a sense where they don't age.

However, what most surprised Jengen was the fact that the old master mentioned his name.

It turns out that the masters had made a pact long ago, agreeing that they wouldn't reveal

their identities to each other.

Must have been an awkward situation, where you don't even know the name of your housemate.

With his identity now revealed, Jangen started to claim that he was a person of fame, saying

that he was a master of the Anda medicinal technique.

The old master then called out his bluff by introducing himself.

It turns out that he, Akleu, was the previous holder of the title "The Judge of Life and Death".

Apparently, Senior Hawk was quite a well-known figure, both for his old position and his

medicinal skills.

His companions immediately knew who he was just by his reputation.

Senior Hawk apologized for hiding his identity, an asset group that although they hid

theirs too, they must already have an idea on who their companions are.

The Elvis Masters' reputation was so great that the others started to introduce themselves

as well.

The group started with Young Sewan, Senior Hawk's companion from the forest, who was also

renowned as the Master of Techniques.

All of his name had already been revealed, introduced himself formally, saying that he was the thief known as "Chumionyodo".

The last master to follow suit was Pangogu, and unlike the others, didn't say any titles or techniques

that he's famous for.

Not letting his companions timid behavior get in the way of his well-deserved recognition.

Jangen noted for everyone that Pang must be the skilled blacksmith known as the Golden Hands.

However, not everyone took part in their get to know each other's session.

The rest of the masters all looked at the young blonde man, who hasn't said a word since

he declared he had nothing to do with the child.

The young masters still stayed silent, and seeing as how he was reluctant to share his identity.

The other masters decided not to pry about it more, they did change the subject though.

Cedar Rock asked the group if it already guessed his reasons as to why he suddenly revealed

his identity.

Master Hion correctly assumed that it was because the elder master wanted them to take the

child as their disciple.

their name and his broken and their prone to dying, and so their hopes were passing down the

techniques lie only in teaching the child everything they know. What's more, they just couldn't leave the

child to fend for itself, saying that the child had every right to survive in the forest too. Even

though their fates were already sealed, the child isn't. A concerned jangan asked the elder master if the

child was physically capable of learning every technique they had to pass down, to which senior

ochreply that he was positive that it was. With all that out of the way, senior och asked the masters

again of his intention to raise the baby together. He asks for any objections, and the group didn't have any.

Now confident that everyone will bear the responsibility, the Elder Master decided to reveal

what seems to be a ring of magical origin that came with the boy. The other Master has gathered

around the ring, and speculated that it would perhaps change when applied the spiritual energy.

They also figured out that the material used for the ring was from a meteorite,

again implying that it was a high-grade item. Along closer inspection,

Master Hyong was able to read an inscription on the inside of the ring, written as "The Altar of the Holy Fire, the start of pure soil."

Without much difficulty, it was also able to decipher the verse, saying that it meant that if the Altar of Holy Fire

would fall, then a pure world would come. This led him to believe that there must be a conflict of old and new

powers out there. Be that as it may. The other masters alone, the Hyong agreed that even if the child was part of some

conflict, whether for good or for evil. The child is innocent from all that, but the child's position as part of

their makeshift family already established. Senior Ox said it was finally time to give the baby a name.

Jengan answered that since Senior Ox was the oldest out of all of them,

he should get the honor of choosing. The elder master then reminisced him a time when he had a son who was sick.

Despite being a master of medicine, his son still died from his sickness because Senior

After Ock was absent from his son's bedside. In honor of his dead son, and the meter it

ring that came with the child, the elder master named the baby Woonsoul, much to the approval

of the rest of the masters. Senior Ock then declared that the child would have four masters

to instruct him, and that he himself would impart his various medicinal techniques and also

these craftsmanship of the river of thirst skill. Apparently this skill was quite rare of great

power based on Jengen's reaction alone. It has learned from the orb of the blood fortress,

And there was no greater spiritual technique than this.

Speaking of Jangen, when surprised, it kind of looks like the giant ape that from Dragon

Ball turns into during the full moon.

Next, Master Hyeong declared that he would teach the child about magical beasts, as well

as the void of space, shadow concealment, and imaginary formation spells.

Master Pang on the other hand simply said that he'll teach him to make mystical tools,

a man a few words.

A flustered Jangen admits that he has no prestigious techniques to teach the child, and

can only pass down flash steps, dirt escape techniques, and self-shrinking techniques

which are admittedly, all skills for a thief.

However, Seniorog was quick to disregard Jengen's doubts, saying that the master thief's skills

are as important as any of them.

Again, the master huddled around Seoul, who was now sleeping soundly without any idea that

he just gained four masters.

Jengen noticed the blond-haired master was still not enthusiastic about the whole idea, and

so decided to bring the sleeping baby in order for his companion to see.

The master thieves seemed to have succeeded in convincing the young master.

As the latter had cuddled the child close to his face without a word.

Perhaps the young master found another person that is the same as him, handicapped in a sense.

The young man isn't as cold-hearted after all.

The passage of time continued on, and ten years have now passed since the master's and

souls faithful encounter.

Right now, however, the peaceful village was disrupted by a ruckus coming from one of the

houses.

Senior Oc was visibly angry at the 10-year-old soul due to his lack of memorization skills,

causing the master to walk out the room.

Soul lit out his side, but unexpectedly, Jengen came into the room at just the right time.

Seeing his fourth master cause a huge smile to appear on the child's face.

The previous lesson was seen or actively with good impression on Soul, who was now soaking

on the porch outside the room.

Who wouldn't be after getting scolded like that.

Thankfully, Jengen was there to keep him company.

The fourth master correctly assumed Solve got scolded because he couldn't memorize herb

mames, to which the boy replied yes to.

Solve all had started thinking that maybe it was because of him being stupid, but Jangen

was quick to dismiss those self-inflicting thoughts.

Jangen assured the trial that he followed his lessons very well, and Cineros rushing

behavior was mainly due to the fact that he's getting old and he worries he might not

be able to teach Solve much more.

He reminded Seoul and he shouldn't resent the first master, and of course they shouldn't blame himself.

Contrary to what the master thought, Seoul was instead concerned for senior ox so much that

he asked Jangit if the first master truly doesn't have long to live. Jangit reveals that

senior oak had lived for 800 years before his maiden was broken. It is only a matter of time

before his time arrives, and he's only getting old until then. The fourth master didn't end on

that depressing thought as he reminded Seoul to work harder in his lessons, so as to also put

senior Osworries to rest. So old agreed, and Jengen noted his kindness. He asked the boy about the one thing his masters kept teaching him as he reached for something. Thankfully, this was something the boy had memorized, so so well recited the lessons, and he should always be kind, believe in himself, and to always not trust others that quickly.

As a reward, Jengen gave him three nectarines, much to the delight of soul. He asked the fourth master if he got them outside the village since nectarines are found in the forest. Jengen casually replied that he did and that even took a goat.

Well, that's a master thief for you. All that excitement prompted the child to ask the fourth master if he can go outside. However, Jengen immediately said no even before soul could finish his sentence.

In stay reminded soul of the first master's condition. If he wants to go out into the forest, he must first open the gates of heaven. In order to reach immortality and balance for their needan, an alchemist must first open the heavenly gates from within. Jangan assured the boy that he'll do so in time, since he already mastered the craftsmanship of the river of thirst. Same at the boy is now back on his feet, the master thief decides to leave, but not before promising soul that he'll bring more nectarines if he would study hard. Jangan seems to be able to do so in time. He's able to keep the

like the cool uncle you have that you only see during holidays. Day turns tonight, and now Seoul is inside his own

rude trying to study. With only one candle lighting his room, he finds it hard to stay awake. Link in his eyes

due to drowsiness. Seoul was suddenly juror by a loud bleeding sound coming from the outside. The boy peered out

the window and saw that the blonde-haired master was feeding the goat, and since the master didn't have

any hands, he used his feet to pick up straws of grass and feed the animal. So, apparently Jengen wasn't

what lying about taking the goat. The kind-hearted boy offered to help. However, the young man said

that being handicapped doesn't prevent him from doing so and that he's fine with feeding the goat.

He took the boy up on his offer help though and asked Saul that if he really wanted to help,

he could pet the goat. Saul was more than happy to do so. He was amazed by the goat and noted

that there must be other amazing things outside the village. This led Saul to wonder whether

or not the forest where even the outside world was really dangerous. The young master answered

the boys' question, stating that something as fragile as him, a child wouldn't last

a minute out there. That is why all the masters are trying to teach him so that he'll survive

once he leaves. This wasn't exactly a cheerful thought and soul ended up soaking in a corner

with a goat. Seeing that his words had hurt the boy, the young master wanted to make it up

to him. He urged the boy to come sit with him. It seems he's unknowingly becoming a teacher

as well. The master correctly assumed that soul was talented, but he isn't that good at memorization.

In order to help him with his studies, the Master decided to teach the boy a phrase. These sentences

were to be rigorously repeated by soul every chance he got so that he'll engrave it in his memory.

He then proceeded to speak in a very unfamiliar language. However, soul did understand,

and even if he didn't his new Master said that he'll repeat it as necessary until the boy had

learned it by heart. The pair shared a moment by the fire, and afterwards the young Master asked

soul that they should keep us a secret between them. And now, again, time continues on. This time,

five years have passed since we last saw soul. Now, 15 years old, he is able to list down from

memory the ingredients for a herbal pill. This man, what likes its time skips? No. By this time,

however, the first master is bejriden. It still continues to check on the boy's progress in

medicinal techniques. When soul was able to memorize medicinal ingredients by heart, senior

Rock happily announced that he had nothing left to teach him. Unfortunately, this seems to be the last time the first master would be able to give a lesson, as after he gave his thanks, he himself admitted that there isn't much time left for him. The others seem to know this too, as the remaining master's along with soul had gathered by his bedside, staying that all of his companions are present, senior arc asked for their attention, saying that he has one last thing to say. Though previously thought to be impossible, the die master said that there is a way to leave the forest.

This was much surprise as even Master Hyong had never heard of such a method. Talk about dropping the ball one last time right,

Senior Oak. The first Master explained that he came across an injured man during the days when he was still a third

generation alchemist at the blood fortress in Neon Nemation. The man confided in him that his wounds were a result

of him escaping the forest of beasts. The escape, according to the wounded man, had something to do with

someone named Lee Donjin, his spirit stone. This unknown person resides deep inside a cave and a

param in the flood dragon was there too. Although the injured man claimed he already killed the beast.

Still, the location of said cave would still be hard to find, something Master Hion noted.

Nevertheless, so old now had a way out, and since he isn't fated to die in the forests like the Masters,

his chances of survival would be greater if he managed to escape. The first Master then called the boy

towards him. Instructing him that it all costs, he must escape. And he hoped that Soul would be able to repay his master's efforts kindly. However,

Senior Op wasn't done with surprises as after Soul's score that he'd fulfilled his duties even if it meant death.

The Master revealed that the craftsmanship of the river of Thirst skill that he had learned was not perfect.

This angered Jengen, questioning the intentions of the First Master, it's why he'd teach Soul and incomplete and dangerous spell.

The First Master explained that although the skill is powerful, it weren't difficult, it would become to control if he used consistently.

If it would come a time that Soul wouldn't be able to control it, then it would result in a loss of everything trained for.

and not to mention unbearable pain. Senior Akk confessed that when the master of the blood fortress came to him for treatment from the side effects of the skill, he stole it, heard by nothing more than his greed. This betrayal led to one's fame healer to be banished the forest of beasts.

The elder master has been living with regret ever since, especially because his banishment meant he left his wife and daughters alone. Nonetheless, he asked soul to visit the blood fortress and learn the proper way of the skill, and to visit his wife and daughters.

wife and daughters to tell them of his fate. The loyal student, showing his strong resolve, agreed to his master's dying requests.

And then, alone with his thoughts of gratitude for his student and regret because he wouldn't see him grow up, senior out closes eyes, and passed away peacefully.

His companions laid his body in a bed of flowers over the pyre, and moments later, senior of his body was set ablaze.

Soul, along with the other masters, washed as the pyre burned, and the ashes of their beloved

first master scattered in the wind. Time still continued on even after the first master's death,

and for soul, life remained pretty much the same. The boys still received his lessons from the

other masters diligently. The second master taught him military tactics, and the third master,

although lacking in materials, talking how to control a fire through magical means. Regardless,

Both masters were adamant to teach the boy about magical beasts, their dangers, and their usefulness

for mystical tool forging. Also during his time, Jengen instructed Sol and Flash and Hover steps

as well as Consulment techniques useful for sneaking about. For three years, it became Sol's daily

routine, and now, at 18 years old, the boy is becoming close to being a man. One afternoon saw

Sol and Jengen hanging out with the student picking out white hairs from his master's head.

Jangen has become really close with the boy, being with him despite not being for lecture.

So we'll passively mention that he's grateful for all his masters.

However, Jangen could see that something was bothering his student.

He urged him to not beat around the bush and to say what he really wants to say.

And although so old and I had anything occupied his mind with Jangen's encouragement,

he managed to get it out of his chest. It turns out that so old was finding it hard to

open the heavenly gates. Although an alley can feel it within himself, it won't open,

no matter how much spiritual energy he exerts. However, Jangen told him that he is still on the right track,

and in fact, being able to feel the gates of heaven at his young age is achievement enough.

The fourth master also assured his student that since he learned the craftsmanship of the

river of thirst skill early on, breaking through the gates is only a matter of time.

You know, for a technique of such importance, no one has really stated what it actually does as of now.

Despite this, Saul seems so preoccupied by the fact that it's taking him too long to do so.

This concern him so much that he asked Jang and how long it would take. Unfortunately, Jang and

doesn't take too kindly when it comes to impatience, so even before Saul could finish his sentence,

the master gave him a bump on the head. At that soul is in preoccupied now. Jang and proceeded to

scold his student for his complaining. He reminded him that his situation is luckier than most

as other alchemists even if they lived for 100 years couldn't feel. Much less openly gates,

still continuing on his angry tone, Jagan asked Seoul if he already mastered hiding his body

from magical beasts, and then reminded him that the forest contains lots of herbs to help him on his

training. A confused soul answered yes, and it turns out Jagan had already given him permission to go

out and gather supplies himself. Now that you may sure Seoul has a means to be safe, Jagan can

confidently sent him out. The fourth master smiled as he reminded the boy to not fight any beasts,

and to be back before sunset. When it comes to emotionally raising the boy, Jengen seems to be the

best out of all the masters. What a kind-hearted person. Meanwhile, the rest of the afternoon saw

soul exploring the forest outside of the ghost village. He immediately spotted some herbs for use,

such as the jirion and wiggle herbs, and also a flower called the yellow doogen. With this foraging

being a success. Soul nearly didn't notice the sun was getting dangerously low over the horizon,

deciding to make good on his promise to be home by sunset, the boy headed back.

He started off running and suddenly, he was zipping through the forest with his feet barely

touching the ground. Right now we can see one of Jengen's techniques and action. The reason

behind Soul's quick movements was the hover step skill which allowed him to cover vast distances

with his speed, but with a little energy. So old, with the thrill of being able to let loose, thank

the masters for letting him go out. But with that in mind, he thought he couldn't go back without

bringing something back. He skidded to his stop and perhaps remembering how Jengen brought a goat from

before. He decided to catch one himself or something similar to that. And so, a quick on his feet,

so old's agile movement allowed him to move from the forest floor towards the top of the trees.

From there, he stopped at one of the branches, using it as a vantage point to observe the forest.

Soo-o was able to sense the presence of an animal nearby, and as soon as he turned his head,

a goat appeared on a clearing from his right side, with the same quickness he'd climb in the tree.

Soo-o then quietly dropped down and was prepared to rush the goat. His concentration was

broken, however, when suddenly he sensed another beast nearby. The only difference now is that this

one felt more malicious than the last one. Deciding to play it safe and come back for the goat

later on. So we'll hit behind a tree and made up his mind to go home. During his time, the sun

and already set, so he's already late as it is. So much for keeping promises. However, no sooner did the

thought crossed his mind that a large, three-headed wolf appeared just centimeters from his hiding spot.

So what was able to identify the beast immediately as a low-level, magical beast called the

three-crrying wolf. He recognized the trying to fight in his unwise, and his best bet would be to escape.

What surprised him the most, however, was how calm he was during the situation. Without skipping a beat,

the wolf went in for a strike. But the unfazed soul swiftly moved out the way.

Using his flash steps, which allowed him to move quickly and short distances for more energy.

Soul had no problem dodging the wolf. Jangans teachings really do come in handy.

However, dodging one in the fight, and so the boy thought of using the one offensive spell in his

arsenal right now taught by the first master. In the next moments, Stole had gathered rocks from the

forest floor and all the while, he nonchalantly dodged whatever strike the wolf threw at him.

Talk about a boss moment for Stole. Now with enough ammo,

Stole began his chant in a foreign language, and before the wolf could launch another attack,

the stones were wrapped in an aura and flew from Stole's hands towards the wolf.

His energy blasts were so quick and powerful that it pierced through each of the wolf's heads

it's clean through. But still, even with the fight over, Seoul was still in trouble, particularly,

a scolding waiting for him back home. As expected, the masters weren't all too happy with how Seoul

spent his afternoon. Not only did he return after sunset, he'd also brought the corpse of the magical

beast that he had fought. Jangen in particular was hysterical in the fact that the boy had managed

to break every promise he made with him. Seoul could only utter his apologies as Jangen continued

The second master though, although the stern expression on his face, calmly asked the boy a series of questions regarding his experiences going out. Satisfied with Sol's honest answers, the second master's expression softened, and he asked Master Pang to forge mystical tools from the carcass. Deciding that it would be better to let Sol explore, he made a deal with the boy. If he's able to cast a shadow concealment spell properly along with the magic flags that Master Pang would make, then he'll be allowed to go into the forest again. With that, he will be able to kill all the

At the time for Sol's trial for his shadow concealment spells so far off, he returned to his usual lessons.

This time he's training under the third master, Pang.

Sol is diligently cultivating a magical fire from his mouth as a forge.

It's kind of like episode of Forge in Fire right now.

The ball of fire is conjured in order form a blade.

His master reminds him to properly control his chief, so that a dagger could be formed.

Since Sol is an exceptional student, a dagger formed from his magical fire and no time.

Being instructed him to use this dagger to take down low level magical beasts for experience.

To finish forging the blade, Master Pank dictated that he used the wind of the termination to

cool it down.

And in no time, the dagger was ready for use.

The wind of the termination is a forging technique that allows a user to blow cold winds

from one's mouth enough to cool down hot metal.

Curious as to what great his dagger is, so will ask if this could be considered a darmatool

as apparently mystical tools are classified according to the magic it contains.

Unfortunately, according to the third master, such a tool is nowhere near the level of even the lowest of our mature. If so, or to make one of his current skill, it would take him about three years. Still, so was successful in making a weapon. And with that, master paying dismissed his student. The master was still getting ready to make the flags for the trial, so he urged soul to rest. The boy, however, continued on the practice, purple medicines in his spare time. A few days later, so will had successfully made his first medicinal pill.

Throughout the first master, he still continued his study on medicinal techniques.

After five tries, Soil had made the pill of nine beliefs, seeking to remove his body of toxins,

the boy took it, and started to meditate.

His meditation was abruptly ended though, as Jengen came in his room moments later to teasing

about making food.

Soil passively dismissed his playful master, however, it turns out Jengen had a reason for visiting.

Other than annoying his student, at least.

Apparently he was successful in convincing his other masters to let Soul go outside with his current skills. Though actually,

Jeng and just lied to the other masters so that Soul could take the trial. And now, Soul's trial has come.

His test was using the magical flags Pang had made, and he used to cast the shadow concealment spell good enough to hide his presence.

Unsurprisingly, Soul managed the spell with ease.

Soon he hung could not help but commend their student for his excellence.

With his new spell and the magical daggers he made earlier, Sewell is ready to explore the forest

of the beasts.

And for three months, the boy did just that.

It becomes so accustomed to the forest that the beasts from around the village had learned

a high when they felt his presence.

However, Sewell's interests weren't on the beasts this time.

For this trip, Master Pang instructed him to gather spirit stones so that he could forge

mystical tools.

The devil knows that these stones are found in places with high spiritual energy, so he dashed

towards the mountain area of the forest.

With his hover step, he reached the base of the mountain in no time.

The desolate landscape didn't do much to deter him, as he was confident that he'll find herbs

along the mountain.

And sure enough, Sol's hunch was right.

Even right along the mountain side where he started climbing, he saw a few important herbs

for pill-making, such as a flower, heartbreak.

But what most caught his attention was just up ahead on his path, he saw a flower glow

in with a faint purple light. So while couldn't believe his luck as he just so happened to find a rare herb called

the flower of light. Unfortunately, excitement turned to caution a soul remember that where there are

magical herbs, magical beasts are sure to be present. Without skipping a beat, a low-class magical eagle-like

beast showed up, angry at the presence of the intruder that it spotted. So while it was able to identify

the giant bird, calling it a "sutra beast," the next thought that Cross's mind was to go in the

defensive, as immediately he grabs stones from the mountainside and shot them towards the beast

using energy blasts. The effort was all for nothing though, as even the spell that took down

the three-headed wolf could not bring down the bird. What's more peculiar is that soul

notice that despite being hit and despite him being at a disadvantage, the bird still didn't

attack. It occurred to him that the bird might be more concerned for the rare herb than

attacking. And so, the boy devised a clever plan. He reached up to uproot the flower of light,

much to the birds' annoyance, and tied it to a rock. So old and shot the flower downwards with his

energy bursts, and the angry suture bees followed suit. With no more distractions,

so old swiftly maneuvered himself onto the top of the cliff.

Now the suitable platform to cast his spell. The boy laid down the flags in his circle,

and casted his shadow consummate spell. And it was just in time too. No sooner than his body

turned completely invisible, the sutra beast appeared out of nowhere, hovering in the air

and searching for the human who threw its precious herb. So all slowly backed away, but when

an old problem is solved, a new one arises. Out from a distant cave, he noticed another beast

approaching. A Jade-Riveen bore, which is a bore with green skin and covered in flames, and felt

the presence of another beast. The bore looks like one of the pigs from angry birds was

doused in flames. This one was an intermediate monster, and no sooner when spotted the

sutra beast did it decide it wanted to fight. This one looks straight out of Digimon monsters.

The two monsters look eyes and both prepare to fight, all the while soul seems to be caught

between the Battle of the Beasts. Who's ready for some WWE Smackdown, with the magical beast's

version? Both beasts charge their attacks, the boar had a ball of fire ready, and the giant bird

to accumulate a lightning energy for a strike. Their attacks were released at the same time, and the energy

released from the clash resulted in a blinding light. It's like a Kamehameha versus a Gallic gun. So, while couldn't do

anything but cover his eyes, he was amazed that despite the battle being between a low level and an

intermediate magical beast, the power they exerted was still greater than his. When the dust had settled,

the fight still had let up. The Sutra beast, using the dust as a smoke screen, decided to go on the

offensive. It coated itself in an aura and dash earthward towards its enemy. The board had

seen what the bird had planned and so increased the fires on its back, growling as it did

so. Unfortunately, it was Seoul who had noticed. All the while, Seoul was still stuck in

his ritual circle flags. By the time he looked up, the Sutra Beast was close to hitting

the board, leaving no time to dodge. This time the impact was much greater than the last

one as a ball of pure energy wrapped around the beasts upon impact. This caused a huge

crater to appear where the collision took place and had made the entire mountain shake.

The poor soul by this time was flung into the air at the moment of impact. Better be more

attentive next time, man. Thankfully, Soul had a flower of light that allowed him to survive

the impact of being thrown high into the air. When the battlefield fell silent, Soul

decided it was safe to explore the crater in order to see when it had become of the creatures.

He crept up slowly and slid down the side of the hole, only to find both of the beast's lying dead.

If the battle between low level beast is enough to put a crater on the ground, imagine those

of a higher level, thankfully for soul, means he can take the spoils of war for himself, knowing

that intermediate beasts possessed native themselves.

The boy decided to search for the boars carcass first.

Inside his dead body, he found his coveted spirit stone.

This one, though small stone, produced a large fire that wrapped around it, perhaps due to

the nature of the ravine boar.

He also took the time to pluck feathers from the sutra beast's body, thinking to himself

that he'll be able to craft a Dharma tool with that.

The more surprising hall that Soul was able to acquire, however, was the flower of light from

earlier.

A pair of the bird had saved it from its fall, and was clutching it in its talons ever since.

So essentially, Soul was camping in that fight.

Gotty got what he came for and more, the boy headed back to the ghost village with his pack full. Back at the village,

Sobel's exploits on hunting and intermediate beast did not go unnoticed. With all his materials gathered,

he and Master Pang immediately started a craft, a Dharma tool called the Podge of abundance.

This tool allowed the user to store vast amounts of material,

no matter the shape and the size, into it despite its small appearance. With that and his recent

successes in exploring the forest, Sobel's life had again become a routine. In the morning,

you'd go out to the forest to gather supplies, and in the evenings he'd make Dharma tools

and Dan Pills to help him in opening the heavenly gates. And after three months,

he was finally ready to try to open those gates to achieve heavenly rebirth, and Voila,

another time escape. In order for Sol to do so, he must first take the Dan Pill that he has been

cultivating, and then meditate in order to spiritually open the gates. The Masters had stated that

making such a pill required precision and that one mistake during the process would lead to poisoning.

However, they also profess their belief in soul's ability, and even if something were to go wrong,

the masters would be there by his side. With that encouragement,

Sobel confidently went about the ritual. He swallowed the pill and closed his eyes to meditate.

Immediately after taking it, he felt the two sides of his body simultaneously feeling

hot and cold energy from within.

Master Hyong picked up on this and warned him to endure the pain.

If so, while we're to even open his mouth, half the energy accumulated from his body will be gone.

And so, the student persevered. Soon enough, it seemed that he reached a balance from within,

and the energy is no longer separate inside him, but one. Now is his spiritual self.

He is covered in a colorful, but dark aura. Immediately in front of him was his goal, the heavenly gates.

With his overwhelming spiritual energy, Sowell walked towards the gate, and with his two hands,

pushed the door open, and walked towards the light inside of it. The next thing the boys saw were the faces of his

masters as he regained consciousness. All he could see were their faces filled with smiles. The

masters gladly informed him that he succeeded and jangan, more cheerful than the rest. Jokingly expressed

his jealousy because now Sowell can live to be 400 years old. Master Hyong congratulated their

student for his achievement and commended him for taking the first step towards being a true alchemist.

The master is explained that he now has completed the damned development ritual, where in his need and will be formed.

Next, soul would have to undergo heavenly birth, where his form would take on that of the sky.

Here we then have to achieve the stage of the law of spiritual energy, which is a stage where an alchemist can freely use spiritual energy to take the form of the barrier.

Next one is the breath of the sun. A power that allows the user to manipulate a

semi-fire and make use of fire abilities. The next power to be acquired is the

vitality of Yin and Yang, which is sent to draw from free treasures where

everything originates. If all of that is achieved, then an alchemist will be able to

enter the stage called the heaven's throne, where essentially that person becomes a

god. The masters wish for so old to try and reach the last stage, and the boy made

It's only a thing out of place was when Sowell asked how much time had passed since he fell asleep.

Master Pang answered one month.

That's one way to take a rest.

After taking another month's rest, Sowell was confident enough in his new abilities.

Now he's able to jump off the air and even fly.

Talk about an upgrade.

He climbed a peak of a mountain.

Watching as the sun set behind the mount-tops over the horizon.

Apparently Sowell had taken a liking to climbing tall peaks of mountains.

Well, if anyone could fly an easily-scale mountains, they'd do that, too. During this particular day,

so was admiring the scenery from the top. Although it's been a long time since he opened the gates,

he's still getting used to the powers that came with it. He looked over to the neighboring mountains

and recognized the cliff from where the boar and the sutribees had fought. Observing the place

from a different angle, he found that there was something else on the mountainside. He literally jumped

only heir to reach the other mountaintop, hoping for spirit stones or some herbs. He hovered

over the object of interest, only to find an empty nest, perhaps from a dead sutra beast.

The lesson of underestimating a magical beast was still fresh on his mind, and so soul

decided to be cautious about his approach. He drew out his newly crafted mystical tools,

intrigued his sword and intrigued his shield. Musing that if there is trouble, this would

be the perfect test for his weapons. So we'll set himself down softly in the middle

the nest. He observed that the floor was littered with sutra feathers, but there was no sign of anything alive.

That is, I tell he heard something rustle the dried straws of the nest behind him.

Acting on instinct, soul deployed is in treaty shield. The boy braced for impact as the

shield expanded into an almost spherical wall seemingly out from nothing. However, an attack

never came. So old and peered from outside to shield, hoping to see the source of the sound.

And there it was, from a little bit ahead of him, tiny little pig was lying on the floor.

All how cute. This wasn't any ordinary pig, however, as it had red markings on its body.

So we'll assume that it was the child of the Jade-Rovian boar from earlier. Nonetheless, the boy

approached the harmless baby boar and even fed it by hand. He theorized that the boar must

of attack the Sutra beast because it must have taken its child. Anyhow, so we'll decide to take

the baby bore back to the village, sensing that such a beast when tamed would be very useful.

The master had a welcoming reaction when they saw what creatures Sowell had brought this time.

Who wouldn't if it's as cute as that? So, I'll confess that he had found an all alone in the

sutras nest, and so he expressed his desire to raise the beast himself. Master Hyeong approved,

saying that beasts can be tamed, especially more so when they already lost their parents.

Jagan was quick to pick up what the second master was saying, and continued to boast on the latter's

behalf. It turns out the second master was famed throughout the land for being an expert

beast hammer. If so old would like to tame this boar, Jangen suggested he listened to Master

Hyeong attentively. The praises caused Master Hyeong to blush. Well, apparently the master was

as humble as they come. Nevertheless, Master Pang said that it would take at least five years for

the boar to produce fires enough for forging. And so, Seoul was again left to wait for the

fruits in his labors. Well, there isn't really much to complain about since Seoul can live up to 400

years. Anyway, the story picks up again after five years since Soul got the baby boar. The boy was

disheartened because there isn't much progress in his training. And same as last time, Jangen appeared

out of nowhere to console his student. He jokingly accused Soul of being greedy, but again gave him

tips to further his progress. Jangen thought that Soul needed to have a new place to practice. He asked

if the student had learned about the pill eternal youth Dan from the first master. Soul replied

yes, but he had already learned Jengen's shape alteration technique, so it seemed kind of redundant.

Although both are appearance-changing techniques, Jengen explained, the eternal youth

Dan is far harder to detect than the other. So if so, we'll begin to gather supplies in order to

make the pill. The herbs needed can only be found near a waterfall, therefore so old went to one to

forage for herbs. It thinks about how the ingredients for this pill are rare enough to find,

and about how these constantly practicing and training day by day. Deciding it wouldn't hurt to relax

every now and then, Solo rolled up his pants and dicked his feet in the small lake form at the

base of the waterfall. It took his sweet time, but as soon as he turned to leave, he sensed the

presence of something approaching. Solo immediately deployed his shadow concealment spell from

behind cover and waited to observe what seemed to be humans coming. His hunch was right and

and soon enough to figures were visible. But what he didn't expect, they were women. So

we'll have to find the inner voice of his fourth master to resist the temptation as the

women undressed to go swimming. Focus, my fellow soldier, focus on the goal, and what he

remembered along with that was the fact that he shouldn't trust anyone, especially what seems

to be women alchemists. To confirm his suspicions, he took a look at their clothes, and sure

enough, each had their own pouch of abundance, indicating they were alchemists who at least

the heavenly gates. He thought about taking their pouches, but before he could get over his own moral rules, a man out of nowhere beat him to it. The mystery man grabbed the pouches, but as soon as he did so, black smoke was emitted from the packs and straight to his face.

Maem was coughing out the powder as the two ladies approached. So, well, by this time, was just happy he didn't act rationally and remembered his lesson not to trust a person's character that quickly.

Talk about dodging a bullet. The two ladies mocked the man. They called Joe Jagan and berated him for being such a desperate creep.

What he had just inhaled was black acid powder designed to suppress his ability to use spiritual energy. Turns out, Jagan had tried to marry one of the women who were sisters.

When a lady with a lighter hair than her sister refused, he kidnapped the other, named Buyong,

now it's being toxic, since they couldn't be jogging as he was on the seventh stage of heavenly

birth, and they were only on the third and fourth stage. They devised a plan. They knew he would

try to steal their pouches, and so they sabotaged it beforehand. With the intruder incapacitated,

the ladies decided to go back to their bath. Soil himself, upon knowing the whole story,

decided not to interfere as he thought the man deserved it. He turned to leave, but the last

moment he noticed jogging pull out silver needles from inside his cloak. Soil calls out, hoping

that the women will see this deception. Because of Sol's warning, the women were able to defend

themselves from the sneak attack. Infuriated by the sudden interruption, jiving shot at angrily,

who was the one whom intervened. Nonetheless, the ladies noted that jiving was moving freely for

someone who just got poisoned. Turns out the evil alchemist had anticipated that the ladies would

try to poison him, so he had already developed a spell to counteract it. Javing brandished his

Dharma tool and boasted of his gap against the women's level. Although he saw through the trap,

Javing was admittedly worried about the invisible intruder. Soil had wisely not shown himself as

of yet, choosing to wait for a proper time to do so. Without any other options, the women announced

their thanks that are unlikely savior. Along with that, they also proposed a deal where they'll

take down Jagging. The evil alchemist then countered their offer, saying that he'll give much of the

spoils whoever it was that interfered. So we'll consider his position carefully. He'd made up his

mind to help women, and although there was a skill gap, all three of them who reached the fourth

stage of heavenly birth would be enough to take on Jagging. Well, you could leave. So, no one's been

He wasn't able to detect you, right? Deciding to play on Jayden's intentions, so he'll walk out of his

consummate circle. The others were shocked by how close he was to the group. Apparently, even if an alchemist was an

expert, they would still get detected if they were that close. Jagging questioned the newly arrived

soul, asking him what level he was currently. The boy answered with a lie, saying that he was still trying to

form a need in, and was not even out of the Dan development. He did, however, disclose that he has many useful

Darma Tools. Jagging, ever the greedy man, decided to take care of the ladies first and then kill

soul for his magic weapons. Some people just can't be satisfied. The senior alchemist asked soul for help,

and the boy, playing dumb, agreed to the request. On the other hand, the women were not too keen to

have gained another enemy. One of them, who seemed to be wary of men, moved to strike the first blow.

She moved it her sword, and now came a flash of green lightning. Saul swiftly deployed his intrigue,

shield, protecting him, and jagging. The boy assumed that jagging didn't purposely block in order

to gauge his strength, and now that you've seen it, the eel alchemists want to counter. Using his

Dharma tool, jagging gathered dark colored energy and used it to strike against the female alchemists

that attacked. She was pushed back, but otherwise fine. Jagging mocking the question the

skills of his would-be assassins before letting out another surge of dark energy. This time though,

the ladies were ready for it. The one with the sword used for saber barrier skill,

creating a dome of slashes that shielded them from the attack. The other female alchemists who

wielded a fan took the opportunity to attack since jogging was still playing around with them.

Looks like we have katana for Mortal Kombat here. She let out a gust of red beams that shot

directly into jiving of unbelievable speeds. So old didn't let the attack hit though as to keep his

His cover, he had the defend jiving at all costs. The strike angered the evil alchemist,

bounding at this time, he'd take the fight seriously. He even urges soul to disregard blocking

and strike as well. The boy had no choice but to follow, so he launched his slash from his

swords, along with Javing's dark energy attacks. Boy, on, the one with the sword saw the attack

coming, and again shielded her and her sister's sealogy from the attacks. Finally, all two of the

the women's names are revealed. However, jiving was anticipating the appearance of the barrier

and launched another Dharma tool-based attack. Calling at the compressed jade staff, jiving

through multiple small crystal-like balls at the barrier, so will guess that it must be specialized

in taking down barriers. The boy figure that now was his only time to strike, while jiving

was eagerly waiting for the results of his attack. Soil swung his blade at him. The senior

Alchemist was able to dodge this however and with his cover blown. So it had no choice, but to go on the offensive.

Before his target could recover, Soil conjured some silver needles of his own and shot them towards Jagging.

When the senior Alchemist raises arms to block, Soil cleverly used his squalter of anxiety technique,

blowing the wall of flame towards the old Alchemist, just like the fireball jutsu from the ruto, right?

Anyways, with jiving now incapacitated by the flames,

Seoul went for one last finishing attack, his energy bursts.

The beams of energy hit jiving square on,

making him collapse to the group.

Seoul confidently approached the down alchemist,

and proclaimed his greed to be his downfall

before swinging his blade down on him.

Nothing short of badass.

With the evil alchemist now dispatched,

the two sisters formally expressed their thanks

to their savior.

They asked for forgiveness, especially Bion,

saying that it was wrong to bury him earlier about men being the same. Well, so old himself

had to put up a facade in order to hide his intentions from jogging, so he also said sorry. Nonetheless,

they still called soul a hero. And so, the two female alchemists decided to formally introduce

themselves. The eldest of the two was Yac Boyan and the one who wielded the fan from earlier

was Uncealgy. And upon their request, soul also introduced his full name. With jogging taken

care of, the three decided to split the contents of his patch of abundance. This included special

darmatools, such as the marble darmatool and the jade staff used against them earlier. The mirror

darmatool and the zen mirror along with some herbs. Since Seoul was the one looking for herbs in the

first place, the sisters were more than happy to let them have it. In fact, since they lived near

the waterfall and the forest itself, they were able to give Seoul much of the ingredients he needed.

It only thing they didn't have was the serene bamboo, which was rarer than most items. Stole didn't mind though, as he said,

he'll acquire it himself, that's the case. Buoyong recognized that Stole was seeking rare items,

and so she formally asked what the young alchemists had planned to do with those.

Thinking that the sisters would not be able to recognize eternal youth Dan Pills,

Stole instead tried to painstakingly explain about this special Dan pill that keeps the appearance

of the user young. However, the sister did know of the pill, though they admitted that they

They were not skilled enough to make a regular damn pill, much less an advanced one.

Woyong teasingly said she's jealous, and more so her sister who once maintained a youthful appearance.

If Aun wasn't blushing from that, she definitely did after Soil called her pretty.

"Oh, Soil, you big charmer, you."

But back to business, Woyong then proposed another deal.

It just so happened that the sisters know where to find the Serene Bamboo.

As he head in home, Soil thought about the deal.

The sisters would lead him to the area and help him take down the monster guarding it.

And in return he'll give them some eternal youth Dan Pills.

The opponent at this time wasn't no simple thing, as the beast guarding the Serene van Mu was

a great conch spider.

What's more, it's classified as an advanced level beast, more powerful than the ones he had

faced before, nonetheless the boy had accepted the deal.

And so, he sought the advice of the one master who's an expert in magical beasts, Master

Hyun.

So, we'll say that he had found the spot for the Serene Ban move, but he didn't mention anything about meeting other people outside.

Heme, curious. The second master said that it is to be expected since magical herbs tend to be guarded by magical beasts.

In fact, Seoul is extremely lucky at its only an advanced level magical beasts.

Apparently, it is an uncommon to have beasts of a higher level than that guarding the rare herbs.

Whatever the case, the master would still do anything to help his students progress.

The second master warned Sol that the spider's webs will be the most annoying thing about it. So

he'll make a potion that'll make their weapons cut right through the threads. Sol thank his master and

left, but he still hadn't mentioned the events that happened earlier. He actually wanted to talk about it,

and so he turned to Jengen. Emotional support master to the rescue. The two huddle around a campfire and

Sol proceeded to tell his fourth master about his encounter with other alchemists. The young man

mentioned something about one of the alchemists he met who had died. Jengan then asked Sol if he

was the one who killed him. Sol answered yes, affirming that the person was evil, leaving him no

choice. As he said that however, sadness can be seen from his eyes, sensing that the boys still had

some kind of guilt. Jengan supported his actions, saying that there will come a time when he'll have

no choice, other than to not hesitate. The master admitted that he hasn't heard of any alchemists

by the names of souls new friends though. And when the boy asked for advice about them,

Jangin was quick to remind him that he shouldn't trust anyone that quickly.

Even teased his student of becoming too trusting because they were women. Oh, Jangin,

if only you knew how soul made unblush earlier. Nevertheless, even if Jangin believed soul when he

said they're good people, he reminded him that people, especially alchemists, are prone to change

because of greed. Good looking out for your son, Jangin. Winter season had arrived and the ground

this filled with snow. During this time, soil and the sisters were prepared to take on the

conscious spider. Soil formulated their plan to attack and you shared his anti-web potion with the

rest of his group. Their plan was to have so-all set a magical trap on the spider's home,

all the while the sisters distracted it. When asked how sure is the young alchemist that his spell would

work, soil, without being smug, answered yes with confidence. Boyan couldn't help but feel how

How advanced Seoul was in terms of intellect, skill, and techniques, especially by the fact

that you can't gauge how strong Seoul actually was.

It's the same feeling you get when you sit close to the genius classmate in class.

And so, the group tracked on.

Soon enough, they reached a place where the snow was thick enough to conceal a spider's

tracks.

Seoul called for their added caution, especially because just a few steps ahead.

The serene bamboos were there.

Peaceful settings like this were too suspicious for the group, Seoul will remember from

his lessons that if things were going too smoothly it meant that he had walked into a trap.

The young alchemist immediately began to scan their surroundings and he was just quick enough

to notice the giant spider from above. The beast shot a web towards the hero but the sisters

were able to slash an apart. Bodeon called for soul to hurry and set the traps, making sure

their plan went underway. Now the sister's only focus was to keep the spider's attention

warm enough for soul to finish. Bodeon and Eon stood at the ready and both sisters waited

for the spider to attack, and in one swift movement, the Conspirator rushed forward, bearing its

fangs. It struck Wuyong first with its legs, but the female alchemist was able to parry the strike

properly. She then called Yon from behind, where she had been getting ready to cast a spell. With

a wave of her fans, a number of conjured butterflies hovered over toward the spider, distracting

it greatly. However, the butterflies were not for distraction only, as when unclosed

for fist, the butterflies started to explode. The spider got engulfed in pink explosions

as hundreds of butterflies overwhelmed the magical beast. The explosion kicked up the snow and

rubble around the magical beast, with no way of figuring out if their attack had worked, the

sisters braced themselves for when the dust settled. However, from out the smoke, the

spider sprung up pretty distract again. Even the midst of all those explosions, it seemed

it didn't have the slightest effects. Looks like it would take more than a rolled up newspaper

to kill the spider. Nonetheless, the sisters didn't expect things to go easy, both parry the rushing

attack the spider had made, and Ian took the chance to attack again. She launched her phoenix burst

iris, spell straight through the spider's eye. The spell formed an insignia made of light before

exploding from the inside. This appeared to have damaged the beast, but it seemed more angry than

hurt. Of all, this time it was the Conspirator's turn to attack and gathered a ridiculous

amount of Frost Chia at its mouth. It shot this beam of freezing energy towards the sisters,

but both had instinctively dodged to safety. If one would get hit, as the name suggests,

that person would be flash frozen. Thankfully, out of nowhere, soul arrived just in time.

He thanked the sisters for their efforts and declared that his trap was already set. Now, it was

It was the young alchemist's turn to face the conch spider.

Soil swiftly maneuvered towards the top of the spider's body with hover steps and drove his

sword downwards to its body.

If it were any other beast, then it would truly have fallen, but unfortunately, the spider's

armor was thick.

What's more, it could turn its head backwards to face its back, if charged another ball of

frozen chi and shot it towards Soil.

Soil still had his wits about him though as he was able to escape being frozen thanks to his

agility.

Seeing as how this sword is useless in a head-on approach, so old decided to test something.

He shot some silver needles towards the serene bamboo and sure enough, the spider moved

intercepted.

The young man at theorized that the spider would do anything to protect the herbs, and so

so old devised a plan with his group to use that as the bait.

Quick on his feet and on his mind.

So old inch closer towards the spider, with the sisters cutting off its path on either side.

Unknowingly, the conspider had stepped into the circle of flag's soul had prepared.

Without a moment to lose, he activated the void of space technique.

With this, Sowell had single-handedly restricted the giant spider's movement.

Now with a proper chance to attack, the sisters allowed some powerful strikes, though like before.

They weren't able to damage the beast.

Sowell decided to take matters into his own hands, and attacked the beast himself.

Though successful in killing it, so will collapse as he apparently got bit by the spider.

Not to worry, this was all part of his plan to gauge his companions' true intentions.

Contrary to what he expected, the sisters helped him instead, and so, the young alchemist

felt sheepish for even doubting it.

Faming unconsciousness, the sisters brought him to their home, along with the serene

band moves that they wanted.

Once he was late on the bed, the sisters frantically tried to search for a cure by analyzing

the dead spider's venom.

Now left alone in the room, so will decide to do a bit of exploring of his own.

He noticed the books on the table, and was surprised to learn they were advanced alchemy manuals.

However, the books were obviously damaged from something, making them hard to read.

Nevertheless, that was the least of his concerns, as he heard one of the ladies coming back.

He frantically tried to go back to bed in his original position.

Like how your mom catches you using your phone at night in bed, and you might have to pretend

go to sleep.

They're still trying to keep up the roofs and take long before Iyun discovered that Seoul was awake.

Awkward.

Seoul couldn't just admit that he was faking his injury because he felt suspicious of the sisters

that tried to help him, so he decided to play it smart.

It's all Jengen's fault for making him an overthinker.

He asked how Iyun was able to figure out he was already awake, and it turns out she had noticed

the blanket shifting ever so slightly.

If Seoul was truly paralyzed from the poison, he wouldn't be able to move enough to disturb

the blanket.

Nonetheless, the young alchemists decided to spend a little white lie, saying that he recovered

quickly because he built up an immunity against poison already. Thankfully, Don had no reason to

not believe soul and so his excuse was accepted. And when Buiong walked into the room to check on

soul, she bought her words as well. The sisters promised soul that he could have the spider carcass

and they even brought the serene bamboo for him. They'd feel bad about lying now hot soul.

Although now is the time that Bayon had become more straightforward in asking her questions.

She seemed intent on interviewing Seoul in order to make sure he'll hold up his part of the deal.

Boyong first asked Seoul about his age and both she and her sister were shocked to find out that

he was just turning 24. To be honest, with all those time skips, it's hard to keep track.

The two were amazed that someone so young could reach the same level as they are,

wherein the both of them had to train for 100 years to do so.

Now the question turned towards Sol's origin. Since he mentioned that he was born in the forest,

Buoyang asked if there was someone who took care of him. Though he was more trusting of his companions now,

he couldn't just carelessly reveal all of his master's identities. So Sol told the sisters that his

master had retired long ago and was already dead. In order to ensure no more questions arose from this,

Sol ended his sentence with a definite message. He will not talk about it anymore. But the sisters said

They said there were apologies of their own accord, saying that there was a reason why they're so desperate to get the damn pills.

It turns out, both Yun and Boon-Yong were descended from the Umiak faction, which were alchemists from the combined clans of the Yun and Yat clans.

This group focused on herbal medicine and the crafting damn pills out of them.

Unfortunately, the faction met its end when the Dark Forest Mountain clan raided their home quarters.

Most of the survivors flew into the forest of beasts, but as of now, the sisters along with all the books,

books, herbs and manuscripts they save are the only things remained from their group. With that being said, they

were glad of the new friendship they had made with soul and so agreed to give an access to their herbs and

manuscripts. Back in the village, soul reported his experiences to Jengen. Now given a reason to trust

the girls, the fourth master bade that it's better that way since suspicion could poison the heart,

at least he admits when he's wrong. With that, the master's gathered around soul as he had now

completed his trial to acquire the ingredients for the eternal Dan pill. Master Hyong figured

the boy would start crafting right away. Jengen jokingly retorted to not give him any ideas,

as the boy will most likely disappear in his room for months. Nevertheless, Master Pang

reminded the young alchemist that taking time is essential in order to create something worth

while. Besides, so wouldn't be totally alone. The boy had employed the help of his

Jade bore, who by this time, although not fully grown, is able to produce flames strong enough

for magical forges. Yup, totally forgot the pig existed. And so, Saul said about crafting

the eternal youth Dan Pills for over a year, losing contact with his masters and the sisters.

What he expected to be a peaceful visit, however, was interrupted by two men, seemingly accomplices

of jagging, trying to blow up the steel doors of the sister's house. Soil washed as an explosion

rocked the earth itself. What became of the sister alchemists, would soul after yet another

timeskip be able to save them. Tune in for the next video to find out. As always, leave a like,

subscribe, and comment down below. Till next time, everyone. The steel door of the ladies' home

remain intact against the fire bombs. The two accomplices believe that their bombs should have made a

man-size hole in the steel door. So, they plan to install another one. It looks like things have

gone south for the ladies. Before one of the villainous priests could install another explosive,

The door opened to reveal the two women. Yap Buyallen insisted that the despicable Joe Jogon

deserved to die for his evil deeds, but the intruders just won't accept her words,

no matter how many times she repeats herself. It's finally clear that these guys are here for revenge,

and they're not aware of souls involvement. These villains are heavenly birth alchemists,

and his fourth master drilled into him not to help others by risking himself.

But you just can't stand by as you promise to give the girl's eternal youth done pills.

For now, he'll plan his course of action. The priests are finally done exchanging words. If the girls don't obediently give in, the villains are going to subdue the two by force.

The bald priest conjure a massive flaming ink from his brush to bring the girls to their knees.

Fortunately, the two can create a barrier in time to block it, but as they are preoccupied with the flames, the man has already positioned himself right past them.

The bald priest is now cornering them from behind while the other one is seeking from the front, since they don't have Dharma tools, they can't yet retreat.

The bald man is skeptical how they beat the formidable Jagan. The two men are convinced that the women use some underhanded tactics. One of them suggested using his cracking wit to dominate the girls, but he's got another thing coming.

So we'll rush to the scene with a sword in hand while throwing some hidden daggers. The priest was so pleased with himself that he failed to sense the incoming danger until it was too late.

He was surprisingly blinded by the effects of Jogon's looted delicate Jade staff.

He cracked his whip in the direction of the attack, asking who was in front of him.

Unfortunately, Solo is still quite a way off from his striking distance compared to the

whip.

The weapon wrapped around his hand for stricting its movement.

He tried to cut it with his weapon to no avail.

The man ridiculed him for trying to cut the whip while pulling him closer.

He successfully dragged him out of the ground and into the sky while claw blades awaited

his landing.

The man is confident that it's already over for soul as he jabbed his claw blade against him.

When he realized that soul's fighting style was not distance oriented, it was already too late.

His blade didn't even fracture soul's ribs as our boy stockpile of energy in his mouth.

He released the swelter of anxiety at point blank range enveloping the villain.

The man thrashed around while burning all over, but soul even followed it up with his energy

burst, launching daggers.

The man is burning in his dagger's lodge all over him, and Soil is so posturing with his sword.

He rests with formidable speed against the defenseless villain.

He skillfully cuts him in half for the single slash.

This dude really gave him an overkill mortal combat fatality.

The bald priest couldn't help but yell for his companion.

Now that Soil is here, the tables have turned against the villain's priests.

His white spider sword is quite handy, and he also has a firebomb in hand.

Now that they hold the numbers advantage, he's sure that they stand a chance.

The bald man's anger has flared as he now knows who's responsible for killing Jogong.

Today, he vowed to comfort the souls of his two brothers with the blood of their enemies.

Coming from inside the cramped entrance, a scorching blaze started to escape.

The explosion following was bigger than any fire bombs the villains were using earlier.

The bald man proposed that if the girls slashed souls throat, he would go easy on them.

Of course, it would not fall for that, so the three brandaged their respective Dharma tools

and preparation.

Despite their efforts, this kind of attack doesn't seem quite enough against the bald man's

defense.

This priest is still extremely salty that his brothers die because of tricks.

His convinced that this group wouldn't even be able to touch his hair.

Rather in Christ, what hair are you talking about?

If his baldie is relying on his flame barrier to neutralize them, so will thinks about using

the fire bomb.

He threw it with perfect precision and remarkable speed.

The bald priest immediately recognized that it was a firebomb coming for him.

If he blocks with the flame barrier, help you toast with the explosion.

He panicked for a little bit as the bomb came so close to landing on him, but he quickly dodged

his predictable trajectory.

So he responded with a confident smile as he tugged on an almost invisible silk string.

Baldi was quick to sense that something was afoot, but when he turned around to see what was

up, the lit up firebomb was already upon him.

So while successfully exploited, Baldi's soul dependence on the flame barrier.

Baldi couldn't help but despair at his inevitable demise against the firebomb, a massive explosion

swallowed in a hole, vaporizing his body.

If it weren't for his white spider's sword and web, it would have been difficult to get

this win.

So we'll turn around and check on the girls to see if they were hurt in any way.

It's already the second time that they have been saved by this young man.

Seals you couldn't help but dive into him with a grateful hug as the two of them thanked

him sincerely.

It's the ship sailing. They hadn't heard from him in the past year, so they thought that he had died. Thankfully, he came out just in time to fulfill his promise to them. This can only mean one thing for the ladies inside the abode. He showed them the fruits of his successful dun extraction. As promised, he's going to give them one pill each. They never would have thought that they could take eternal youth dun pills in this lifetime. On top of that, so we'll even made them partial dun seals to help them nurture their spirit energy.

This man is a certified Riz alchemist. Now he's planning to extract the done from the girls' herb collection,

even though he's still hesitant to take over their legacy. But the ladies insisted that they

wholeheartedly trust their Sega for this. If he extracts done from this massive amount of ingredients,

it will take him at least five years. That's a full-time job at this point. And so five years past just like that,

inside one of the houses in the village, the bedridden second master expressed his pride and soul

for greatly improving his abilities. This old man had chanted thousands of demon spells and tried

to tame a fiend, leading to the loss of his spirit energy. He advised the young man not to do

something as stupid as that. Nonetheless, the second master was relieved to see his boy in his final

moments. He was certain that soul would be able to enjoy eternal life. He tasked him with taking care

of his shadow orchid and never forgetting to light torches at night. Those were the final words

of his second master before he peacefully passed. It hadn't been long since the other masters had

passed away, and they were already burying another one. John gone already knew that the second

master was no fun, but to think that he had even passed away so quietly. He was no fun until the very end.

He even joked that there weren't many days before his time comes as well. He looks sincerely at his

disciple, since so will already knew the other master's stories, it was about time he shared his own.

Among alchemists, he was an infamous thief born without natural talent. When he found out about alchemists,

he stole all kinds of elixirs to pursue eternal life. At the age of 40, he obtained natural talent and

became an alchemist himself. He ended up with a nickname "The Goblin Bandit". If his knight and were intact,

he would have stolen souls' eternal youth done pill too. He insisted that he would have given it to his

master of our contest. That's not what John gone taught him. If the other masters knight done were fine,

They wouldn't have taught soul at all. And he knows that his fourth master is ripe.

Alchemists are people who would do anything to become masters of their own destiny after all. They cannot be trusted.

Maybe the first and second master weren't like that, but John Gond fits the description.

This thought cast a depressing mood over soul.

John Gond only wanted to say that he's not that person anymore as he pinched his disciple.

He's relieved that soul came into his and the other master's lives.

He sincerely thanked the boy, however he's so curious about something else. The younger master,

with the passage of time painted on his face, asked what it was. Up until now, no one still knew

the identity of the younger master. He thought that it's useless to know such things now.

But John Don wouldn't be able to rest in peace if he couldn't find out. This is him cashing in

on his first and last favor to the younger master. It's really his dying wish that the younger master

introduce himself as Peng Xiyang. The mention of his name shocked Jangan immensely. If he's not wrong,

then this man is the monarch of the evil sword and the Marshall Gatekeeper, senior Peng Xiyang.

Jangan didn't expect such a formidable figure to be imprisoned in this place for so long.

He was already taken aback that the late senior Aq was a genius without knowing they had another one.

He asked Peng what the secret was to achieve the vitality of Yin and Yang in just 300 years.

But he just dismissed John Gaughn, telling him that there's nothing to know with their night

undistroid, but it's a different story with their soul. John Gaughn insisted that the late

senior oc would not disagree if punk took on the role of souls first master. This man just

coldly declined the offer. John Gaughn knows that for a guy like punk to end up here,

a terrible conspiracy must have taken place. He asked the man if he wants to take revenge.

If that's the case, then soul can undoubtedly get his vengeance once he learns

pums ways before leaving the forest of beasts. Pum just continued to walk away, pretending not to

hear John Gond's words. Another two years have passed in the forest. John Gond is recounting the

time when he was finally caught. He told his captors where all his treasures were located to save

his life. However, he kept his most bizarre and unknown treasure a secret. Now, he'll tell so

over he hit the key of a hundred choices. The location of that key is the last help that he can give

even if senior pun doesn't take soul and disciple, he must attain eternal life doing what he wants as a better man.

John gone assured his disciple and more aptly, his son, that he will protect him in the next life.

John gone was a real one, rest in peace.

Soil has yet again buried another one in the people closest to him.

The young boy has become a young man who has seen the decks of people he loves.

It's been a week since John gone passed and he's standing before Palm with a settled mind.

the settled mind. His ear to humbly ask for the armless masters' teachings, 21 years ago,

punk taught him a chant of some kind. Souls still remembers that night. This chant was just

the tip of the iceberg. It developed souls' mind to maintain peace in any situation. Punk had

shared it on a whim, but if soul wanted to serve him as a master to receive his legacy,

that the story would become vastly different. Soul was determined to do whatever this fallen

on genius wanted him to do. Punk stated two conditions to take him in. First, just like

Jungan said, he'll have to take revenge on Punk's behalf. He was ambushed by unknown people.

It broke his night in and cut his arms off, then threw him into this forest. So almost

find out the culprits and take vengeance. He swore that once he gets out of the forest of beasts,

he will stop at nothing for this revenge. For the second condition, Master Punk will pass

on destruction's sword arts, string craftsmanship, chant a black ice, and freehand sword technique.

But after soul learns everything, he must kill his last master with destruction's sword arts.

Hearing this final condition bewildered soul, he did not expect that killing Master Pong is the final

requirement to inherit his legacy. Seven years later, Master Pong stands at the highest point of

a plateau. He asks soul if he's prepared for what they're about to do. The fully grown boy confirms

He learns that he is holding a sword in his hand. Master Pong wears an accepting smile on his lips as he leaves everything up to him. He understands what he must do right now. The wind blows through his hair as the master and disciple share a moment of silence. He thinks about all his mentors.

He implores them to watch over his every step until the end.

With pure determination in his eyes, he changes his stance.

Exhibits a powerful burst of speed.

He activates hovering steps equipped with a sort and daggers.

Master Palm wanted to teach him that good-natured people like him will be used endlessly.

Eventually, he'll have to create a standard of accepting and disconnecting from human relationships.

Right now, Palm has finally understood what John gone always babbled about.

He watches Soul execute one masterful move after another in quick succession.

Pong has become convinced that Soul's good nature will be his strength.

As a man of destruction, it wasn't easy for Pong to take him in.

The master hopes that he understands someday.

Soul is now capable of emanating a terrifying amount of power.

He can charge in just a blink of an eye.

He can float into the air and attack from above.

The always scowling master Pong has learned how to smile again.

thanks to his disciple. Just like the other four masters who passed, someone like him, who had lost all hope for the future, has found meaning in life again.

Even with the wrinkles on his aged face, he looks more at peace than ever. So holds reluctance to land the strike is evident in his face.

Pong has to scream at him to come in fulfilling condition.

And so, he unleashes the fearsome flying, swallow energy strike. This is what his master always wanted to see again.

This is his beloved destruction Sword Arts. Pung-si-yeon peacefully passes in the hands of his only

disciple, so all has put all his five masters, mentors, and fathers to rest. He kneels and pays

respects in front of the tombstones for the last time. He now leaves the ghost village to head

for the outside world, living by the ways they have taught him. He will treat the deserving better

than the goddess of mercy and the wicked worse than a demon. He'll become a terrifying enemy for his

master's enemies and vows to get their revenge.

Sovalom barks on his journey with the Jade-Rovine boar atop his flying sword.

He wants to make another stop somewhere before leaving.

It's the home of the two women.

Seelji slowly opens the doors, knowing who their visitor is, as been 9 years, 7 months and 12 days.

Soval reasons that he had a lot on his plate.

It's been a long time since he's been here, and yet it looks like he's leaving again.

But Seelji knows that there's nowhere else to go in the forest of beasts.

That's when he revealed that he's leaving the area altogether.

This shocks the lady.

Everyone trapped in here has had that thought.

Even she and her sister want to get out.

It might not be clear, but so has a clue.

If there's a chance, he's determined to take it.

See old Jesus worried that he might just be chasing a floating cloud.

But he believes that everything can seem impossible for you to achieve it.

His results will speak for themselves, seeing how determined he is to leave saddens her.

She tries to thing his smile while wishing him luck in achieving his goals.

He thanks her for this, but she still has another worry about his journey.

She reminds him that whenever he gets tired, he can always come back here.

She and her sister would welcome him with open arms.

If I were so, I would have folded right then and there.

Soil will keep this invitation in mind, and so, Mike falls in the forest of beasts.

He decides to take a break from his journey and sets up camp in one of the mountains.

He asked the sisters where an ancient dragon might reside.

And they give him four possible locations. Right now, he rests with the Jade-Rovine bore.

This was the fourth place on their list, but there's no sign of an ancient dragon. He was

so confident when he left, only for that confidence to be extinguished, while he wallows

into disappointment. His bore makes an alarming sound. It turns out that the little guy bumped

its head on the mountain walls. He takes this as his pet being frustrated as well and

banging its head against a wall, but examining the surface closely, there's something

odd about the crevice. Surprisingly, there's an airflow coming from within the walls. Thinking

that there's something inside, he strikes the walls completely. With a sword in hand, something

unusual is revealed in front of him. There's much more the cave inside this secret wall. If

a crumble like this, it's likely that everything inside has been buried, but he starts to notice

that there's something deep inside. When he takes a closer look, it resembles a human asking

for help. It's a woman chained up at the end of the cave, pleading for anyone's help. She doesn't

look like she's doing well while locked up in chains. So will observe the chained-up woman

carefully. He asked her who she is and how she ended up in this precomant. She explains that

she ended up here after refusing those who tried to force her into becoming a concubant. He

sympathizes with people who have been abused, so he wants to release the deceitful woman. She puts

on the best appreciative face she can while telling him that she'll do anything. So will get closer

and observe that she's bound by a chain with such strong spirit energy. He asks her what she thinks

about that observation. Insert among a susan effect. She feigns ignorance, telling him that she just wants to get

out right away. She says that she doesn't know where she is, as people just drag her here. He explains that this is the

forest of beasts, a den of strange creatures. Some fiends can even turn into humans. She continues to act like she

doesn't know what he's hinting at. He asks her if she knows about a plant called the shadow orchid,

a plant that gives off a smell that fiends hate. In his hand is a vial of condensed essence from the

plant. He's really pulling out the fart essence for this one. So will admit that he doesn't know

if it'll be effective or not, but the woman is already showing signs of panic. He opens the

vial to put his experiment to the test. The woman starts to have a hostile reaction to the smell.

She transforms into a fin and snarls at Seoul to get away from her. She starts bathing him to go

away with his a cursed shadow or get essence. He starts taking out his sword from the pouch,

causing the beast to panic. She promises that if he releases her, she'll never harm him and will

will give Soul anything he wants. He asks her that offer really includes everything.

I/O. Are we switching to a very different genre? After being chained for 200 years, she's willing

to go the distance within her power. She insists that she won't be able to harm him. If that is indeed true,

Soul wants to see if they can make a deal. He asks her if she knows if any place where an ancient dragon

can reside. Now she knows why he's wandering around this place, but with his meager abilities,

He won't even be able to touch an ancient dragon. He already knows his limits, but he still

needs the location. Having lived here for so long, the fiend swears that she knows where it might be.

But she's not stupid enough to tell that information without being set free. But it's the same with her.

She could just kill him where she's unchanged. This fiend wants to stand her ground and never say

a thing before being released, so to not put himself in any danger, so will just walk away.

He reassures the fan that she will wait for another 100 years before native people come here.

In addition, he'll restore the entrance back to its concealed state.

Even if fearsome fan cannot keep her calm after hearing those threats,

she has no choice other than to reveal the location and hopes of soul coming back.

She's not in any position to demand fairness in this exchange. She feels like she's being cheated,

but what other choice does the fan have? If he enters the dragon's cave and dies,

You won't even be able to come back to release her. Even a young ancient dragon is a low level

fiend like her. Harmony Human Alchemist is child's play to them. Before making a deal, she asks him what his name is,

he introduces himself as the disgraceful priest, Joe Jogong. This fiend is the nine tale evil Fox,

and her kind never forget Grudges and Revenge. Although she'll reward him when her chain gets broken,

she'll also make his life hell of she's deceived. So well as she was the fiend that he'll remember that sentiment.

So now, she'll reveal where the location might be. Making his way to the place on this flying sword,

it heaves a sigh of relief after facing a powerful fiend. It's realizing that he should keep his guard up even

more in the future. After all, his vast land is still the deadly forests of the beasts. Not far from him,

there's a religious leader celebrating the Dragon God. The humble people from the Riverside village

came to the gods' abode to offer their gratitude. They're giving the Dragon God three innocent

virgins to be made servants. Something sounds extremely fishy with this religious offering.

This is their way of pleading for the fiend's favor and protection. The village leader reminds

the girls to never leave the altar until the dragon descends. One of the sacrifices named

Wollong is tasked with looking after the other two. They must do their best to serve the dragon

God's will for the sake of the village, so will arise at the location and observes what's

happening in front of the cave. Those sacrifices should be for an ancient dragon. He thinks that he

he must have the right place. Since he's certain that Dragon Gods don't exist, this must

be the place he's looking for. With these offerings, the ancient Dragon might arrive at

any minute now. In preparation for that, he set up a flat formation on the cliff. For now,

he needs more information. So, he jumps off the cliff and heads straight for the sacrifices

on the altar. The three girls await the descent of the dragon while peacefully sleeping.

So old jumps from the cliff directly to the altar itself. He carries the girl named

whoa yum, waking her up with extreme confusion. He proceeds to jump within human levels of elevation,

leading whoa yum to believe that he must be the dragon god. Soil enters the formation he's set up,

and she thinks that the god's descent is quite different from what she's heard. He treats her with

great care. She didn't expect that the dragon god would be this kind of person, but so will breaks her

daydream, saying that he's not the dragon god that the villagers talk about. She starts

Just a panic after being taken by a different person.

He respectfully introduces himself as just an alchemist passing by, and he has an urgent question

to be addressed.

It seems like the man in front of Woldeong is fully aware that he's doing something rude,

but he just needs some clarity after looking at the altar.

After this conversation, he'd gladly put her back.

She starts to notice the intermediate-level Jade ravine bore by his side, a mark of someone

extraordinary.

He also exhibits some high-level techniques to bring her here.

She knows she can't be rude to an expert, so she asks him what it is that he's curious about.

He wants to know if a dragon god is an ancient dragon, but it seems like she's not even familiar

with the term.

He explains that it's a fan of the scale body, two horns, a red chest, a blue back, and a white

pattern on its neck.

She's not entirely sure about that description since she's never even seen the dragon god

before.

This lady is being sacrificed alive to an alleged god that only the village chief has seen

before.

She agreed to this for the sake of the riverside village's protection.

For the sake of making the god happy, there must do anything.

She believes that if they can save them any by sacrificing the few, then it's the way to go.

That is the destiny of the weak people, after all.

After their talk, he finds out that the ancient dragon has been active for the past five years.

As his master said, "There's a place where an ancient dragon is fallen, and this might

be that place."

First, he can't confirm anything without witnessing it, so he needs to stock up on power

first, the K-Fee and already warned that he wouldn't be able to do anything with his current strength.

He spends the night meditating in the middle of his formation until the sun rises. After reaching

the 11th stage of heavenly rebirth, he starts to feel the gates of spirit energy. It feels that

it's raining in the gates of heaven. The barrier inside him exudes a huge and strong feeling.

His masters told him that to break through this, he'll need to use his spiritual energy and

his character. His cultivation is interrupted with the arrival of someone. The heavy steps emanate

power, it's a man wearing extravagant silk. The ladies on the altar notice his presence

and prepare themselves. They kneel down to greet their dragon god. He evaluates the excellent

sacrifices this time around. But he also notices that there's an alchemist observing him from

afar. Soul feels the threat of someone strong looking at him directly. The man below can detect

his shadow concealment from afar. He picks up the bore as he knows that this place just became

extremely dangerous. He wants to retreat on his flying sword after finding out that he's out of

his death, but a silhouette in the hulking beast interrupts his route, that beast transforms

back to the smug man with red hair and extravagant clothes.

Low shoot, I thought this guy was a fraud.

Soul immediately takes out multiple shadow or could essence vials from his pouch.

This lowly thing throws the vials at him, but the man realizes that something is a miss.

The vials emit a remarkably foul smell for him.

This only serves as fuel to his anger.

In the man as a figure of his true form, a draconic monstrosity.

Soul tries his best to escape the dragon's wrath.

It transforms to its real fearsome form, chasing after his flying sword.

It unleashes a massive electric attack, but the Jade-Rovian board jumps in to rescue.

The little guide takes the full brunt of the attack to save soul from harm.

And so, our tiny piglet passes in his master's arms.

But the ancient dragon isn't done terrorizing soul yet.

He demands for the human alchemist to fall.

And Solo is hit with a powerful concentration energy.

It falls from the skies, but the dragon's descending speed is even faster.

It touches the ground first after changing back into human form.

The man cleans himself up from the awful smell of the shadow orchid essence, as for the

falling soul.

He has another plan for him.

The man lives in midair with magic and takes out the remaining vial of the essence from

his pouch.

This dragon is fascinated by this invention.

He also finds the unconscious soul quite interesting.

Dragon Master incoming.

Inside the dragon's cavern lies an ornate palace guarded by female soldiers.

The ancient dragon is engaged in a discussion about souls' shadow orchid essence witchcraft

with another man who shares a similar hair color.

For that very reason, he has brought soul captive into his palace.

After losing consciousness, soul is just awakened in this unfamiliar place.

Now that he's finally awake, the ancient dragon prays him for creating something quite enjoyable.

He recognizes his position and dismisses his vials as merely a trivial skill.

The dragon reassures him that he will not be killed.

He suggests that if he wanted him dead, he'd already be so.

If they desire the extraction method, he will gladly provide it.

However, the dragon believes that this human possesses more skills on his sleeves, so he inquires

about poisons.

The human confirms that he's capable of crafting done pills from sacred herbs and poisons

from poisonous herbs.

With that information, the dragon plans to put his skills to the test.

Nevertheless, if he's merely boasting, he'll be swiftly killed.

Soul bows down and expresses his understanding. The palace guest asks his dragon brother, Geo, why he would

entrust something so crucial to a mere human. If the lesser devil poisoned, Geo could have crafted

himself, but he has an even more important done pill to create. Intensity uses late uncle

Jo Yeon's knight in to make this pill. This revelation shocks the palace guest, who assumes that

this dragon killed his own uncle. However, Jo Yeon passed away 50 years ago and he wasn't even

match for his uncle. From their conversation, so will learn that this specific dragon died 50 years

ago the hands of an unknown assailant, causing a few within the family. Here are calls his master's

tales of the mysterious alchemists who slew an ancient dragon in the past. This ancient dragon was

challenged by someone named Oachshook to a life and death battle, with his uncle's inheritance at stake.

It seems people are in for shocking news today. In truth, this is why he summoned the palace guest.

The sacred herbs he needs would necessitate a portion of the guest's bitter plant as a supplement.

Yet, if this man gives it to Joe, it would likely wither after its life force is drained.

Yo-asurous in that this sacrifice would undoubtedly lead to victory.

And in return, if Joe wins, this man can acquire the powerful of Chuk's Night Inn.

If this is his reward, he is willing to exchange his bitter plant.

Soil realizes that when this confrontation occurs, he will have his opportunity.

He must focus on surviving for now, with all details settled, due retrieves something. He tosses it to this human

captor to ingest. It's a prohibition pill, a poison that would gradually affect him in various ways,

ultimately leading to death unless the antidote is administered. Over the course of a few days,

his body and health would deteriorate slowly. Thus, running away is an viable option.

Geralt also hands soul the document for creating the lesser devil poisoned to study,

instructs the guard to escort Seoul to the medicine room to begin immediately. Based on the symptoms

described, he's convinced he was administered the traitorous fifth poison, while crafting a lesser

devil poison he must secretly concoct the endote. Beyond the cavern palace lies the less opulent

medicine room. One of the lady guards escort the balance Seoul into the facility. In choirs

whether she's also from the Riverside village, his continuous questions prompt the woman to silence

She believes there's no need for conversation since he's destined to die soon.

He recognizes that even if he complies with the ancient dragon's wishes,

he won't be allowed to leave. They aren't may Eve, they understand the situation.

The guards face contorts with sadness as she hears soul's resignation.

They journey further into the medicine room.

Finally, they arrive at soul's workplace.

In front of him stands shells upon shells of precious medicinal herbs and poisons to work with.

to work with. It's an astonishing sight. With such resources, he can undoubtedly create the lesser devil

poison while secretly formulating the antidote. The guard will now observe his every move. After his restraints

are removed, the guard ensures he comprehends the situation. He reassures her that he won't do anything

foolish. A myriad of valuable ingredients is within his grasp. According to the documents,

he needs approximately two months, and it's been a month and a half. The dragon should soon check

his progress, and as he anticipated, he's notified that the palace's master is seeking him. In the main hall, the ancient Dragon demands a report. So

what reveals he completed the poison the previous night, which surprises everyone. Even if he followed the

document meticulously, it shouldn't have been this swift, but he attributes it to his talent with

done pills and poisons. He devised his own new method to create the poison. The amused dragon intends

to test souls' talents. However, he never expected the dragon to take the toxic substance

and ruthlessly hurtle it to someone to test his talents. The lesser devil poison flew past soul and

struck someone behind him. It landed directly on one of the guards of the dragon palace.

Instantly, it caused her to arrive in uncontrollable pain as the dark energy engulfed her.

Though she's still breathing, she's paralyzed confirming the efficacy of the poison.

Although this poison isn't lethal, it's still intricate to synthesize. Stepping on the head of

Out of the paralyzed guard, Jio, the ancient dragon, is content with souls' results.

He's so pleased that he inquires about a suitable reward for soul.

Soul bows his head and humbly declines the rewards presented by the dragon.

Jio not only ends the guard's life with a stomp, growing bored with souls' response.

Brows a straight-up psychopath, shivering on his knees, soul requests the return of his pouch

of abundance to aid his process.

If this would enhance his efficiency and synthesis, the dragon has no issue providing it.

Once he completes his done pills, Jude intends to spend the following year absorbing them.

He asks about the name of the girl currently attending to him, who was done well young.

Her task is to observe and learn proper poison preparation from soul.

In soul's mind, her leaf washes over him at the prospect of a year's respite.

Yich malleges that after that window closes, you won't have any opportunity to escape, therefore,

he must find a solution swiftly.

He then escorted back to the medicine room.

It appears none of his belongings in the pouch of abundance have been touched as they are all irrelevant to an ancient dragon.

Frustration consumes him due to his powerlessness to alter his situation.

Even Wull Young can perceive his current distress.

With respect, she addresses him, deducing correctly that he's contemplating a final escape from this place.

The former guard who looked after him was a friend of Wull Young's.

She was informed of his thefts and covered concoctions.

He explains that he's merely trying to resist the fate others are imposing upon him.

Once the methods of dumb extraction are passed down to Wolyeong, he'll become dispensable to the dragon.

Nonetheless, even if he manages to flee, he'll succumb within half a month without an Ando.

He discloses that he's been stealing ingredients to make a breakthrough while preparing

medicines.

Furthermore, he has already crafted an antidote for the ancient dragons poison.

While Y'all is surprised by the revelation of the pre-made antidote, beyond the dragon palace

are the guards in attendance of Joe, they are welcoming a higher ranking guards arrival,

who seems to be heading for the medicine room.

Someone greets her with a voice identical to her own.

it is none other than soul using illusion. Imagine the possibilities of this ability. He finds

mimicking the lady quite awkward. Slowly, his illusion fades, revealing his true form. He was

compelled to take her form to come here without detection. He confirms that he has prepared

the antidote, knowing that Joe Woon would never let him live. Yet, he wonders why the guards

haven't reported his theft to the dragon. She has her reasons. Lady Yu have explained that

The powerful magic trap called the dragon line windstorm guards the cave entrance.

So we'll question why she's sharing this information with him.

Her reasons aren't important, she simply wants him to concentrate on escaping.

Grasping her intention, he continues to inquire about passing through the magic trap.

The key lies with the eight alchemist maids who know the direct path.

All 100 on the law of spirit energy, while the odds of persuading them to assist him are

low with an antidote in hand.

situation changes. Lady Yeo will arrange a meeting with one of the alchemists. She insists he doesn't

need to thank her, but if he succeeds in escaping, she hopes he will aid wolyeong's escape as well.

The meeting with the alchemist materializes quickly. President R. Wolyeong, Lady Yeo, and a powerful

alchemist from the dragon palace. Lady Yeo introduces him to the senior alchemist made. This is

His aim so shone, one of the ladies in waiting, who's interested in detoxifying Gu's sadistic poison.

He identifies it as the treacherous fifth poison and is fortunate to possess the antidote.

However, she's not ready to trust him fully.

Doing so would put their lives at risk.

Soil assures her that his knowledge is sufficient to improve poison recipes, and he's adept

with antidotes.

While he indeed finished the lesser devil poison earlier than expected, it doesn't guarantee

the antidote's efficacy. In response, Sowell has one question. He inquires whether Joe

Woon has a 100% chance of winning against Oak Shook. If Joe Woon loses, everyone will be

unable to detoxify the poisons in their bodies. Eames Sir Chiang finds his sentiment amusing

and laughs, acknowledging that their lives hang in the balance and she's being too blunt.

Understanding the situation fully, she agrees to listen to his request if it doesn't involve getting

him out of the cave. If they do that, she knows the ancient dragon will unleash his fury on the

ladies and waiting. What he truly seeks is the opposite of that request, as he will escape a live.

He proposes that they end his life first. He's just like me. For real. The dragon palace is

presently sealed shut with guards stationed around the clock. Suddenly, signs of destruction emerge

from within. A devastating energy erupts outward, sending guards flying from the shockwave. This

This man must be the worst boss to work for.

Geowuem emerges from his year-long cultivation with newfound powers.

He's confident that this breakthrough will enable him to defeat Oatshook.

In choirs of the Lady and Waiting, if anything happened while he was focused on practicing

his breathing technique.

She reveals that Sobel has died and apologizes for her oversight.

Geowuem reassures the dragon that Woldeong has advanced her skills to the point where

Sobel tried to escape, hearing he become useless.

He lost his life to the dragon line winstorm.

However, he managed to complete ten pots of lesser eel poison and wall-yawn can now take over the operation.

Yoo-woon continues to ask when Sol passed away.

She tells him that the corpse was found yesterday, since he planned to kill Sol anyway.

He instructs her to feed the corpse to the fiends outside.

She follows the orders and leaves, outside the cave, a cloth-covered body is encircled by wild fiends.

A wolf approaches, ready to feast, but the body unexpectedly stirs.

So will Awakens, finding himself outside the dragon's territory. Thanks for this stealth technique,

he's escaped from that hellish cavern. Following the full move on, Joe, Woon, and Ochuk are set to engage in a deadly duel,

so almost locate Ochuk's cave as soon as possible. Before long, he discovers a volcano with

searing lava. Observing from above, he descends to investigate further. This location matches the one

senior E-mentioned. It must be Geo Young's residence. This also means the entrance must be guarded by the

the dragon line windstorm. He knows how to navigate it, he just needs to be decisive. Upon stepping inside the magic trap, it activates a full force.

Firey energy surges from the ground, conjuring blazing tornadoes. So old realizes the challenges severity, countless deadly world pools churn at the entrance. It's stronger than anticipated. He must pass through seven specific gates amid the tornadoes. He must navigate the dragon line windstorm to succeed. He dashes through narrow gaps, fully concentrated.

he reaches halfway at no time, getting closer to his goal. Meanwhile, the magic trap continues blazing from a distance, nevertheless, soul successfully crosses the line, safely, on the other side. While he managed to enter, exiting poses a similar challenge. He calculates that Joe Woon has a 90% chance of winning the upcoming duel.

Before events unfold, he must locate the teleportation circle. He searches diligently, leaving no stone unturned.

He even climbs to a higher vantage point to no avail, two bays pass, and he remains frustrated.

Not going to lie, I would have given up in the first 10 minutes. He begins to suspect that the alchemist's first master

met mine of lied. His life was at risk to reach this point, yet there's no sign of a teleportation portal.

In weariness, it tosses a rock, it lands on the scorching lava, revealing an odd reaction.

Soul takes note of the strange behavior. Here's another idea. Even the heat, the pool should be filled with

of molten lava. The test is theory. He attaches a bamboo darmatool to a rope. He cautiously lowers the tool into the lava. He

confirms that it doesn't behave like lava at all. It feels like being submerged in a lake. He continues to lower it without

hitting the bottom. Instead of melting the tool, the lava does nothing. It's just a regular water-filled lake. He's determined to explore this

possibility. Despite the terrifying prospect, he dips his hand into the pool. The dump of both of his arms confirms his

suspicion. That's low key and amazing illusion. I'd love to have a fake law this swimming pool.

As expected, the hot lava is just a normal lake. He must uncover what this illusion conceals.

He dives into the depths of the illusory lava. He witnesses the meticulous measures taken to

conceal this place, as anticipated. It's autumn of skewer device at the bottom. Squiffly,

he swins down to the riverbed. Approaching the device lifts his spirits. His master was right,

The teleportation portal is indeed here. Here are calls that help meet spirit stones depending

on the distance. Presently, he has 30 middle class and 80 low-class spirit stones. It's wiser

to have too many than too few. This is what's needed to escape the dangerous beast-filled forest.

He places every spirit stone in the middle of the device. The portal instantly absorbs every

middle-class spirit stone. It devours them at incredible speed. In hopes of activating it,

He supplements the portal with his own energy. Even this energy gets drained swiftly.

The device lights up but takes too long. So he runs out of breath and spiritual energy. Finally,

he succumbs to the environment. He closes his eyes, losing control of his body. He collapses on

top of the teleportation portal. Soil stops breathing. While the portal continues emitting a

blinding light, unexpectedly, his necklace, a ring begins to react. Unconscious,

Seoul remains unaware of the mysterious energy emanating from the ring. The ring's reaction

intensifies the portal's light. The light grows to envelop Seoul's entire body. Oh dang,

mysterious baby ring coming in clutch. We have arrived in the Jonyangmation, specifically in the

Lee District. Seoul lies unconscious in an unknown location. He slowly opened his eyes,

feeling pain coursing through his body. He noticed a blanket draped over him and recalled his last

memory atop the portal. There was another alarming discovery. His internal gates of heaven

had closed, causing his spiritual energy and latent powers to regress to the fifth stage of

done extraction. Did they just nerf our boy as payment for teleportation? The first master had already

informed him about this phenomenon. While his experience would remain intact, he would return

soon without any issues. However, there was another problem he couldn't remember his current whereabouts.

A chiming looking man greeted him with joy now that he was finally awake. Unfortunately, he couldn't comprehend his

single word coming from the man's mouth. Similarly, the man couldn't understand him either,

leading to the conclusion that Saul might be from another country. Both of them struggled to

determine the language the other was speaking. It became evident that Saul had been teleported to a

different country, prompting the man to rush out to find a translator. Saul felt relieved to be free

from the clutches of the forest of beasts. Five months later, he was still residing in the home of the

kind man. He had been informed that they would be leaving for something important soon.

The kind man was amazed by how quickly Seoul had become fluent in the language of the

Junyang nation in just three months. Seoul was unprepared for the large size of the party that was

leaving the city. They were accompanying a young woman named Zhugirion to mount Wenchu's open

market in hopes of finding a cure for the master of the lead district. So we'll ask why they

They wouldn't simply search for medicine in a nearby market. This was because immortals were

apparently the ones who opened the Mount Wenchu Market. The men should have immortals caught

souls' attention, the caravan departed with guards and attendants. The young woman and her

entourage were need two more days of travel to reach their destination. They had come too far

to return empty-handed. The young woman's father's condition was deteriorating daily. She inquired

about the goods of one of the stalls. Despite her usual indifference, she was taking a personal

interest this time. The low-level immortal merchant deduced correctly that this party consisted

of ordinary people who hadn't embarked on the path of transcendence. She asked if this would be an issue.

Since the day had been dull for the merchant, he was willing to answer their questions,

explaining that the market operated on a principle of equal exchange and asked what they were seeking.

Excellently, she requested her to help her father's weakening energy. The merchant recommended

in a bitter, rude ginseng. Known for its efficacy and nourishing the soul. Moreover, its effects

would be even more potent for ordinary people. Seeing the sincerity of the young lady, the merchant

agreed to sell this herb for just a single, low-level spirit stone. However, the young woman

was unfamiliar with the concept of a spirit stone. She called on Jambo to bring out their chests,

which contained gold bars, jewels, and other treasures. The merchant, though insisted on

spirit stones emphasizing that it was the currency needed for this market. Without the correct

currency, they might not be able to make any purchases. Can I get those gold bars instead? It's

useless for immortals after all. As they lack spirit stones, Jango comforted the young woman

as they left the marketplace. Their mood summer. Despite their efforts over the past few days,

they had been unable to obtain anything. The young woman tirelessly searched the market for four

days but her efforts yielded no results. However, thanks to the expedition. So old managed to acquire

some Dharma tools and sacred herbs. He was contemplating how to repay this kindness,

with their leaders' health declining. So old was worried that something dire might occur. Nevertheless,

he held a strong belief that the elder master would recover. The night fell and it became apparent that

their carriages were being targeted by assailants. These villains have been tailing them since they left

the marketplace. They waited for the moment when they thought there were no alchemists around.

With a sudden burst of flames, the ground beneath the guards erupted in fire. They realized they

were under attack by a bizarre fire in all angles. These two scoundrels were now hovering in the air,

and the guards identified them as immortals. The scoundrels laughed arrogantly, confident that they

had trapped the humans. They even threatened to kill everyone in the group. These guys couldn't have

have picked a worst target than this party. The soldiers were in even more alarms state than they

already were. That's when the young Miss herself exited the carriage to speak with the immortals.

She introduced herself as the daughter of the head of Jewish state, county magistrate of Lee

District, and stated that she would peacefully surrender the treasures. The scoundrels

could see how clever and beautiful she was. She did not miss the opportunity to inquire if the

villains above had the cure for her father. However, her pleas were met only with boisterous laughter.

Some of them told the young mist that they had no intention of dealing with anything troublesome.

While they initially planned to kill everyone, the man now desired to take mischievous his concubine.

Feeling helpless against the words of the alleged mortals, she saw the man raise his flaming blade

with the intent of burning everything, except the treasures and the young mist.

A massive fireball descended upon the soldiers like a blazing mirror.

However, its descent was abruptly halted by none other than soul and blade.

This development was beyond the pair's expectations. They found themselves face-to-face with

the cold stare of soul, stumbling like an idiot, unsure of what to do. The arrogant man was swiftly

divided into three parts by three razor-sharp cuts. I'm pretty sure that middle-cut has slashed

something else out. His partner and crime hadn't even had the chance to react, let alone respond.

In the criminal's mind, soul was an alchemist far superior to him. Descending from the air,

He humbly kneeled on the ground. He pleaded with soul to spare his life this time and vowed never to appear before him again. However, met with a cold stare. He was informed that soul couldn't grant that request. He had learned not to leave any troubles for the future. Jango and the young missed stare at him, unable to believe what he was capable of. A few days later, they returned to the lead district. Welcome by a feast. The food was excellent, just like the performances. Soul thanked the young mis

kindness throughout the months. In return, she expressed her gratitude for saving her and her people.

This small community had welcomed him and cared for him as a complete stranger. Thus,

he wanted to assist with any requests within his capabilities. Naturally, this lifted the young

Mrs. Spirits, and she had one wish in mind. She promptly took souls to her father's sick room.

His breathing was unstable, and he was in pain even while asleep. The local doctors couldn't

wouldn't identify his illness. Saul reached for the man's wrist to assess the situation.

Before it lay a complete and detailed understanding of the leader's constitution, he quickly discern

what was afflicting the man. Inside the man's stomach, he found a venomous insect. Though it was

of the lowest level, it's still a parasitic fiend. Did broswall a bug or something? The hummus was

eager to hear his findings, and removing this latent poison was a simple task. The only concern

for so old was that this matter might be connected to another alchemist. He infused the man's body with his

spiritual energy and crushed the parasite. Worried that so old might be over exerting himself,

the young miss urged him to rest, but the treatment was already completed. She was taken aback as she had

only seen him hold his hand out briefly. He assured the young lady that her father would awaken

within the week, he explained the latent poison of the pinworm, and how it had depleted her father's

energy and nutrients. Currently, they needed to provide him with nutrient-rich food to restore his stamina.

Hearing all this brought tears to the young lady's eyes, she knelt and pledged her eternal gratitude.

He dismissed it, saying any alchemist would have done the same. However,

the young Mrs. experiences with alchemists have been poor so far,

while Seoul had saved her and her father. Seoul believed staying here for a while to gather

information and regain his power wasn't a bad idea. He finally accepted her offer to repay her

death to him. After all that had occurred, Jango had returned to his daily tasks. It had been

a year since Seoul had last emerged from his locked room. The young miss in the Lord had been

incessantly questioning this poor man about why their savior had an emerge yet, but then a familiar

voice with a charming quick that would be heard behind them. Seoul had finally emerged from

his year-long seclusion. Jango informed him how tough it had been dealing with the young

miss in the Lord's nagging. He was also obligated to attend the New Year's celebration. Since

did not have a train for a while, it was a good time to join the festivities. The Jew

family's New Year Festival was a grand affair, especially this year, as it celebrated the Lord's

recovery. A grand banquet awaited, filled with captivating sights and experiences, so old couldn't

afford to miss it. At night, the sky was illuminated with resplendent fireworks.

Lee District's New Year celebration lived up to its reputation. Every citizen was in a festive

mood. The young miss, the lord and soul were seated in the best seats in the city. However,

several noticed someone with ulterior motives approaching. Judging by the aura, it seemed this person was in the early stages

of heavenly birth. He was certain this person wasn't here merely to watch the fireworks,

so well wondered why an alchemist would sneak into the mansion. The pyrotechnics continued to paint

the night sky. The lord intended to personally thank soul for saving his life, but when he turned his

head. Soul had already disappeared. It's a gifting hands and sword slashes for new years.

Before the Lord could even look for soul, he was already interrupted by an official alongside the alchemist,

they had prepared wild ginseng for the health of the wise leader. Seeing this man,

the manner head, he invited them inside to talk. He thanked the manner head for their concern,

and the man introduced a disciple who excels in medicine. Trusting the man, he let the alchemist

check his pulse. That's when it occurred to the alchemists that the leader had been fully healed. He

composed himself and happily reported that the Lord was as healthy as he could be. The alchemists then

excused himself to continue watching fireworks outdoors. Meanwhile, so will hit himself from a distance,

trying to get a fetal for the intentions of the alchemist. His suspicions were strong with this one.

The celebration of the New Year seemed like it wasn't going to end as the fireworks continued to

explode one after another. The Lord also excused himself to avoid overexertion, so he entrusted

everything to his daughter for the night. He lay down, putting his past illness behind him,

but that's when he suddenly felt something wrong inside his room. He immediately tried to reach his

ornate blade. He swung the sword towards the intruder, but the man just disrespectfully beckoned

him to be quiet. He finally saw the face of the supposed medical disciple. With a blazing fire in

his hand, he threatened to burn and kill everyone in this place right now. Hearing Miss

led the Lord to drop his sword, the alchemist was surprised that the Lord referred to him correctly

as an alchemist, a sign that there might be another one around. The Lord admitted that he's

crossed paths with one. If that alchemist managed to get rid of the latent insect inside him,

then that's a sign of great skill. The Lord threatened him that this alley is still in residence

and won't stay still if he's harmed. But this alchemist doesn't care if the Lord is under

someone else's protection, they'll just kill him without a trace. That's when Sol's voice escaped

out of the void as he ripped through it with his sword. The weapon in the alchemist hands was

flung away with the sword strike. That same sword was then pointed at the man's throat in the

blink of an eye. Sol finally decided to intervene in this encounter. The alchemist confirmed that

Sol is the man Lord Jew is talking about. Sol will apologize to the lord for barging into his room

in hopes of intercepting a suspicious person. He threatened the man to answer his questions

without a fuss, he wants to know why the man wants to kill Lord Jew. The man revealed that his

master is the forefather of Wang Wang, the governor of Manyangoon, a renowned alchemist. This master

decided to reconnect with his worldly relations, so he'll want to know more about this master.

Wang Wang wants to kill Jujang wanting to take the magistrate position. The man thinks it's silly

and trivial, but his master's orders. So he'll press the man for the name of this master, but the

But the man won him to reveal his name and sect first.

He introduced himself as womb soul, independent.

And this man is done Jubyong from the Iron Protector sect and his master elder is Wang Tael.

Jubyong assumed that he knows what that sect means, so he told him to put his sword down.

But before putting the blade down, he needs a guarantee that Lord Jubyong will be harmed.

Jubyong found it unreasonable that he's doing all these because of a mortal.

He wanted to find a compromise to help Wang Guang that harming a lord.

The man finally relented that there's no need to bump heads just because of a single mortal.

This cause so old to put down his blade.

This caused Jubion to pull out a talisman while insulting him for being mave.

The talisman transformed into a torpedo, launching towards the Lord.

But the multi-attack was intercepted by his transforming shield.

Jubion was caught off guard by such a fast reaction and defense.

You finally concluded that this alchemist is not someone to be trusted.

You might have blocked the torpedo, but this only sparked greed for his shield.

So we'll found it unfortunate that they are at a point of no return right now.

Jubion took this as arrogance and launched his fire and ice spells forward.

All these measly projectiles were effectively blocked by his shield while he read the Genesis

sword to strike, but that's not all, even his intrigued sword has sprung into action.

Two swords, one from the back and one from the front, are now locked onto Jubion.

This is one of the techniques in the destruction's sword arts.

In a young junction at the fourth second, both swords charged, leaving no way out.

Jubie Allen is put in a serious predicament between the blades.

In response, he started to unhook the pouch of abundance tied to his waist.

Coming from the pouch, a massive bear name that you have gewo materialized to block

the blades.

That's a literal pocket monster pockaman.

This is a fin that can be suppressed into a pouch he wanted to create it before.

But he didn't have the materials.

Perhaps now would be the time.

The swords easily went through the massive body of the bear. It fell to the floor,

much to jubyong's surprise. The mampanic and shivered in terror, what's to come as he fumbled for

another talisman. So old criticized the man's lack of experience relative to his level,

while sinking past him. His full is starting to grasp at straws, screaming at soul.

This prompted him to finally finish the job with a masterful killing move. While the corpses

of the enemies lie on the floor, he asked Lord Jew if he's alright. He instructed the

The Lord to get a trusted servant to clean this scene up to avoid an uproar over the death of an alchemist.

Since this guy isn't related to the manor, they can take care of him moderately.

Lord Jew will make sure that he follows these instructions to the letter, and one more thing

he wanted to relay his greetings to the young Miss Jew as he's about to head out somewhere.

He finally bade his farewell to the residents.

We're now in Choxon district at Wenchu Mountain.

A familiar figure can be seen enjoying a drink in an establishment.

soul observing the alchemists of Wenchu Mountain leisurely when someone approached him. The siblings

introduced themselves as Suai and Sujishan. It took a second, but so will finally recognize the two.

The year prior, at Mount Wenchu Marketplace, Suai will quietly observe the hard work and rejections

of the young miss. He decided to sell unneeded Dharma tools to accumulate spirit stones and purchase

materials for the Genesis sword. He used his advancement technique to become invisible to mortals.

People started to gather at his spot to purchase his dharma tools. The attention of the siblings was also drawn and Sue I inspected the tools.

Even offered to pay generously, returning to the present, they met again not far from the market.

Since they were satisfied with his previous products, they wanted to know if he was selling again,

and he confirmed that he was. The siblings wanted to see what he was about to offer first.

As they got a previous connection, Seoul had no problems showing them the tools.

Here revealed a bamboo flute called the "Forl Flute" as Dharma tool possessed considerable strength.

However, before Suai could reach for it, his sister had already grabbed it.

She teased her brother for being tone, deaf, and thus unable to use this Dharma tool.

It turned out that the flute could summon fiends.

She intended to summon one of her tame beasts and assured soul that it wouldn't cause harm.

Curious to see it in action, he gave his permission.

A large black cat emerged from Sue Dügen's pouch. Despite its size, the massive predator seems gentle in nature.

It gazed directly at Seoul. This creature was in middle-class fiend known as the black snow tiger.

Sue Dügen began to play a tomb on the floral flute. The Malumius music resonated in the cat's ears.

It slowly approached the table and peacefully rested its head upon it. She's probably playing mask off by future.

With the floral flutes power to tame fiends and the lady's musical skills.

This tool demonstrated great potency. She inquired if he was sure about selling this remarkable Dharma tool.

They generously offered seven middle class spirit stones to buy it immediately.

Finding the offer reasonable, so will agreed promptly.

He also sees the opportunity to learn more about the sex in the nation.

So why explain that the nation held a balance between three orthodox and three unorthodox sex.

The just sex were the immortal, Mount Jew, and awakened sect, while the malevolent sex were the

Dauntless Association, Mendacity, and Iron Protector sect. So old and heard of the Iron Protector sect and its

elder, Wintail, who seemed to have reached the law of spirit energy as an immortal. Wintail used to

kill and steal pouches as well, realizing that his actions might have placed the Jew family in the

sights of this malevolent man. He understood the need to grow stronger. Given that the siblings were

from the Chaxon district. They did not get along well with the iron protectors. As he was currently just a

wandering alchemist, they had no reason to worry. They appreciated his honesty and extended another offer

to him. Intrigid. So, wanted to know more about this offer. The two revealed that they were attempting to

capture a fee and saw his assistance. A high level fee known as the fragrance tracer feline inhabited

the mountains. Due to its keen sense of smell, it was incredibly elusive, but they had a plan.

This was the first time he had heard of this type of fiend. The siblings already had a

plan in place and souls involvement was crucial. His role was to provoke the fiend aggressively

to catch his attention. Finally, they arrived at the hunting site. It was highly likely that the

tracer was perched atop a large tree. Sue Y initiated the plan with his flag formation.

Each flag landed perfectly in its designated spot. Now armed with a magical trap, they needed one

more element. His sister produced the finest herb they had, intending to use it as bait for the

fiend. You can't fool me. That's a one-piece devil fruit. Even if the tracer detected them,

it wouldn't be able to resist the allure of this herb. So while it was the first to sense the fiend's

presence, it emerged from deep within the woods and landed atop the trees of the astonishing speed.

Crashed down with tremendous force, Sujigian swiftly readied her talismans. A single paper talisman

The flags of the formation activated simultaneously, imbuing the energy of the trap, and almost invisible net formed, enveloping the woods. The fiend took notice of the situation when it was moving too quickly. It landed within the net created by the formation. The furious feline found itself in snare named potent trap designed for its capture. Armed with their respective Dharma tools, the next step was to subdue the beast. However, the fragrance tracer refused to yield without a fight. It left the

Let's have an angry snarl if they charged.

Sujigen assumed a long-range position surrounding the beast with her talismans.

Once she had completely engulfed the feline in her power, she triggered a massive explosion.

So what was beginning to think that these two might not even need his help at this point.

However, the beast emerged unscathed from the explosion.

That powerful blast only fueled its anger further.

The bloodthirsty fian was about to retaliate.

The fragrance tracer brandished its claw with its own energy, a cross-swite that would

eviscerate everything in its path. It was locked onto their party. This strike alone could

end their attempt at any moment. They had already used many talismans. The feline was just too strong.

However, they had anticipated this level of resistance. The beast was starting to break out of

the magical traps barrier. When it freed its snout, it immediately began stockpiling raw energy to

launch an attack. The charge energy was reaching its peak. It was time for soul to finally intervene.

The magic trap had finally been completely shattered by the Fiend's destructive beam. Fortunately,

Seoul was there to absorb the shot with his trusty shield. The siblings were correct in their

decision to recruit Seoul against such a formidable creature. Behind the shield, he also activated

the effects of the delicate Jade staff. Small explosions rained down in the air, disorienting the

Fiend. Sui seized this opportunity to strike and contain it with his Dharma tool. Sui Gision also

manipulated her tools to contribute. Her weapon is bandaged effectively caught the fiend by surprise.

Their Dharma tools successfully managed to constrict the fiend's movements. Looking up into

feet and anger at its captors, the fiend met Sugijin's final move as she absorbed the fragrance

tracer into her pouch of abundance. They had successfully captured the fiend they had been hunting.

She thanked Seoul and left with utmost urgency. The beast might be hard to catch, but it's even harder

to tame, searching in it to be fast. He asked why taming the feline was time sensitive. It turns

out that fragrance tracer felines tended to eliminate themselves within a few days of capture.

Fortunately, they now had the floral flute to drastically increase their chances.

Suai handed Seoul this compensation for the hunt. This man also needed to follow his sister right

away to give her a hand. Seoul was invited to come and visit the siblings in a manner as soon as

possible. This lively guy still had something he wanted to discuss with Seoul, but that would

be for another day. He picked up the precious herb they had used to lure the feline near them.

Having come this far, he might as well search for some sacred herbs too. However, his optimism

was extinguished after two days of finding nothing. He was getting jealous of the siblings for

taming of Fringra's tracer feline to help with their hunts. While resting, he spotted an odd

looking cavern in the distance. There was a clear, large space beyond the narrow entrance,

and fog was flowing into that place. He crawled through the narrow confines of the cave with a

torch in hand. An adorable miao could be heard not too deep into the cavity. It was a fisi

offspring of the fragrance tracer feline. It immediately reminded him of his jade ravine boar

that had died in vain at the hands of a dragon. It was such a strong little creature,

but it was surely given to the allure of the precious winter coconut. At first, the kitten was

hesitant to approach him. So he rolled the winter coconut toward the kitten for a

tafistan. The little one had a hard time trying to figure out how to eat it. So

we'll watch an amusement of the kitten fail to break open the coconut shell. He had

a step in to open it up so it could be eaten. The adorable kitty wag gets tail and

enjoyment of the precious herb. It even let him touch and pet his tiny body. The

same time he infused a similar attribute throughout his body just as the second

master had taught him. The kid he realized what was happening and jumped away. This kitten

might not be an ordinary one, he might have to use another method. He rubbed his body with

a fiend's excrement to lower its guard first. He was determined to see who would win in their

psychological battle. He looked at the baby tenderly and it looked at him with soft eyes after

finishing the winter coconut. Eight days later, Sowell was out and about with his flying sword

again. For now, he would respect the kitten's decision not to enter his pouch. However, this

baby would have to get into it later. Back in the Jew family mansion in the lead district,

the young Miss could be seen reading her literature outdoors. Suddenly, she heard an unfamiliar

Miao not far from her. It was none other than her master Woon with a new pet in tow. She updated

him about the situation with the deceased alchemist, but it seemed like it would be fine

for a while. She had been worried since he hadn't been around. A few things had caught him

in the moment, so his return was a little late. But she was just grateful that he had returned,

So she personally fetched and closed to change into. Inside the mansion, she was trying to feed his new kitten with herbs. However, anything

of low quality of the offer to the fiend was coldly rejected. Taming this beast was even harder compared to making done pills. Not only did it reject his food offerings, but it also attacked him with its sharp fur from time to time. This brat was not easy to deal with at all. Even after utilizing sacred herbs from the market, he had only managed to reach the 6 stage of heavenly birth. Low level sacred herbs,

just weren't going to cut it anymore. This kitten was just too curious and hyper all around,

with its mischievousness. He decided to name the kitty Wan Wan. Wan means to play in Mandarin.

Now that they needed high quality ingredients, it was about time they visited the famous Chaksan

district. So will arrive at a heavily guarded location via his flying sword. He landed in front of

the entrance gate, much to the guard's surprise. He respectfully stated his name and asked for

for the young master of the house, Sui. It didn't take long for the young man to run up to him

excitedly. He inquired about what had happened to the fragrance tracer feline they had collaborated

to catch. Seeing signs of awkward defeat on the young man's face, he asked again. They were

already aware that the consequence of failing to tame it would be its death, and that's exactly

what occurred. Lady Sui must be heartbroken, but they had more urgent matters to discuss,

Once Juan Juan's mother had passed away, so will deem it prudent not to reveal Juan Juan's

existence.

As they made their way inside the household, they continued their urgent discussion.

Rather than having something to discuss, Suey had something to offer.

This Pete's soul's attention ever so slightly, it seemed to concern something called a

concentrated spirit land.

It was a place where strong fiends roamed and rare sacred herbs grew.

Among the nine sites of concentrated spirit land in Yongeau, the Chaxon family managed

one of them called the Lone Spirit Land. It was being driven to manage by some influential

families in the area. Currently, these families will recruit skilled alchemists and preparation

for its once-in-a-decade opening. They would require someone the formidable Darmat tools and

superior skills compared to normal alchemists, from Sui's perspective, so we'll fit this description,

so if you wanted to extend an invitation. They were now in the Polonia Prefecture of

Yung-Jo in the Clear Postal County where the Lone Spirit Land was located. Powerful alchemists

from all around the area had gathered outside the site's entrance. There were righteous alchemists,

mischievous ones, a serious bunch and various other factions. So old already knew that the materials

he was seeking would overlap with what these people were looking for. Now that everyone was gathered,

a man appeared above a crowd. The man reiterated the rules and the one month deadline before the

exit would be blocked. Anyone who remained inside after the deadline wouldn't be able to leave until the

land was opened again. Furthermore, all sacred herbs and fiend corpses would be confiscated

from that person. The competition inside would be tough, with 180 alchemists vying for resources.

Upon entry, everyone would be scattered, and a powerful fiend would emerge from the center.

Finally, the man unlocked the seal of a lone spirit land. Alchemists sped inside on the respective

Dharma motion tools. The race for sacred herbs and fiend corpses had begun. The entrance led him to

to a mountainous region, so we'll confirm that everyone had been scattered as he formulated a plan. His

Trump card for this venture would undoubtedly be the adorable Wan Wan. He instructed the

kitten to memorize the fragrance of sacred herbs in exchange for winter coconuts. They continued

flying until they arrived at marshland. Observing Wan Wan's reactions, it seemed a precious

sacred herb was nearby. He landed on the damp ground and sensed a higher intensity of spirit

energy. Back in the forest of beasts, he hadn't paid attention to herbs he didn't need.

But now he could collect everything. He traversed the money waters in search of treasures.

He needed sagebrush and sort them for the later stages of heavenly birth, squamps like this

one should have them. However, as he walked, both he and Juan Juan felt a disturbance.

A colony of fiend wasps was clearly an attack mode from a distance, and alchemist had the misfortune

of encountering them right away. He opened a magical gourd and a cascade of flame engulfed

The wasps, since this place was so rich in spiritual energy, fiends were harder to sense.

Not far from the commotion.

So, also noticed something eye-catching.

It was what he was looking for, a sagebrush.

He contemplated whether to take advantage of the situation and go for the plant.

In this land, sacred herbs were onerless until someone held them after all.

As he wrestled with his morals, another voice entered the scene.

So old and the man fighting the wasps turned their attention.

A man swooped in to grab the sagebrush for himself, believing it was a matter of skill, but the

man with the gourd only laughed at the fool. When the opportunist realized what was happening, it was too late.

A massive fiend lurked beneath the muddy waters, using the sacred herb as bait,

bro fell for the oldest trick in the monster book. A bloody and gory mess sprayed across the waters.

The opportunist managed to gain some distance with an awkward retreat, but one of his arms was

now the fiend's meal.

Soul will identify this monstrosity as a high-level fiend, a swamp-gallon.

It seemed to have been waiting for an alchemist to enter this area.

It was a formidable beast in its natural habitat.

The one-armed man could only shiver and fear.

Frozen in place, the gallum had a feast.

The man fighting the wasps initially sensed that something was off, but he didn't anticipate

a high-level fiend's appearance.

It'd come to investigate and retreated after realizing he was out of his depth.

However, for Seoul, it was a different story.

This gala might be formidable, but he knew its weak points.

With a confident smile, he was ready to take on this opponent.

With everyone either retreating or dead,

the fee and turn its attention to him.

This gala literally looks like mud-covered thinos.

It traversed the muddy waters and charged at him recklessly.

He stood with his dual swords, thinking this was worth a shot.

He began the combat with the flawless execution of a dodge using flash steps.

He knew that if the gallon left the swamp that speed would drastically decrease.

Furthermore, its movements were extremely simple.

He launched an offensive with the first maneuver of destruction's sword arts.

One sword flew from his hands at breakneck speeds with the activation of the flying

swallow energy strike.

It cleanly went through the fiend's mouth severely wounding it.

He easily eliminated a high level fiend.

That's a one shot one kill.

He took the sagebrush growing from the head of the gallon's lifeless body.

Making the golems leather would consume too much time and he wanted to avoid staying in

one place for too long.

As soon as he harvested the sacred herb, Juan Juan almost made a meal of it.

He had to grab the rowdy kitten to calm it down and prevent it from eating his loot.

It seemed that instead of helping him track herbs, Juan Juan was just trying to eat everything.

If that was the case, then it might be time for the kitty to go inside the defense pouch.

Observing how this tiny cat behaved, he started to miss the kind and obedient Jade-Rovine

in Boor. Rest in peace, piggy. Ten days have passed since the 180 alchemists had entered

the concentrated spirit land. While cruising through the air, Seoul spotted a winter coconut

tree. It felt that Juan Juan was probably hungry, so this came at the right time. During his

time here, he had gathered a lot of sacred herbs. Perhaps it was time to gather some for

Juan Juan's power-up. However, that casual and joyful attitude was about to be interrupted

by a sinister feeling. Just then, he felt someone's spiritual energy scanning him,

an ability that only law of spirit energy alchemists possessed. The only thing on his mind now

was to immediately get out of there as fast as he could. He jumped onto his flying sword and

pushed it to its limits. But someone behind him was chasing fast. Then buried alchemists

ordered him to stop during his desperate escape. He turned around to see a familiar person

who was already on top of him. He had seen this guy at the entrance. He was one of the

law of spirit energy alchemists on the roster. It was quite obvious that this bearded individual had no good intentions. He had a halt his escape and respectfully introduced himself as wound soul, a guest from the Choxon family, and asked if the man had any business with him.

Since this was the man's first time seeing soul here, he asked him if he was a wanderer without a sect. So he'll ask the bearded alchemists it has been a wanderer pose a problem. The bearded man amusingly stated that it did pose a problem, even a significant one.

because the six families kept bringing wanderers to this land. The harvest he had been

diligently gathering for a decade was continually being depleted, and so he wondered what would

happen if the number of wanderers decreased just a little bit. This had been the man's goal from

the start. If that was the case, so old, facing with full force, utilizing every Dharma tool and

his arsenal to their full power, the bearded man was amused by soul's ability to handle so many

only tools at once. However, at the end of the day, Sewell was still just a heavenly birth alchemist.

The bearded man could easily and casually release a simple energy strike that Sewell would struggle

to defend against. Yet, even with a shotty defense, Sewell managed to hold on and even succeeded

in sneaking a blade in for a counter attack. But even after that, the bearded man just laughed

at his efforts. A thick translucent barrier surrounded the man, defending him from

every angle. The bearded man praised soul's skills for a heavenly birth newbie, but he explained

that tricks wouldn't work against a spirit energy barrier. That was when soul threw down a sneaky

brown smoke bomb. However, even that explosive was ineffective against the barrier. He still

didn't know the limits of this barrier's defensive capabilities, and his smoke screen was

also going to dissipate soon. The bearded man insulted him for even considering using such

shotty smoke bombs. So, it was too strong for an alchemist of his level, and the bearded man knew that talented

individuals like him held grudges deeply. He brought out a cane, garment tool, as you could only rest

easy if he killed soul. The bearded alchemist swung the cane wildly in all directions, hoping to hit him.

This was what soul had been waiting for, with the barrier down he could approach with his blade.

He initiated the six maneuver of destruction sword arts as the blade lunge forward. The bearded

man activated the barrier just in the nick of time, reiterating that any tricks would be useless.

However, the concentration in Soul's eyes remain unwavering.

He wasn't done yet.

The Blade began to emulate light and crack into pieces.

It was the 10,000 explosion sword arts.

The sharp shards of the sword continued their offense as if they had a life of their own.

After they covered every angle of the barrier, a fiery explosion capped off the attack.

It was a pity that he had to sacrifice the entreaty sword, but this was his stromous attack as of now, and he

needed to use this time to escape swiftly.

The bearded alchemist was furious that he had been outplayed by a young wanderer.

He would never forgive soul and vowed to erase him without a trace.

With unprecedented speed, the bearded man closed in on soul with unbridled bloodlust.

However, the king's winged and it all seemed later ucted.

Even soul did not know what had happened as he slowly opened his eyes.

It was a white-haired senior calling the bearded man a criminal for going around harassing juniors.

The bearded man went into panic mode as he recognized this man as "Wango Dewan."

This senior shouldn't even be here, or more accurately, he shouldn't still be here.

Seeing senior Guango Dew and taking things seriously this time, the bearded alchemist had no choice

but to swiftly turn his flying sword around and retreat.

Meanwhile, the senior remained nonchalant about the bearded creeping fear of his presence

in this land. Additionally, Wang will believe that he was right where he should be. If the Beards calculations were correct,

this man had been trapped in the land for 40 years. Senior Wang will thought it would be better for the

beer to stop harassing the juniors and leave. If he didn't leave within three counts, it would engage in a

game of catch. A game more suited to the seniors' tastes. The deep, dark green aura that the senior

After a minute it was too powerful, that aura high key goes hard.

Forty years ago, he had only been at the middle level of the law of spirit energy.

The beard knew what was best and quickly departed.

The senior could only sign disappointment as he had actually been seeking a fight.

Soil realized that this person was extremely powerful.

Even though the senior had helped him, Soil remained cautious.

He thanked the man respectfully and promised to repay him in the future.

However, the senior dismissed the matter,

considering it insignificant.

But the favorite soul had mentioned,

the senior wanted him to repay it immediately,

sensing that something was a miss,

so will hesitantly inquired about the senior's intentions,

to be precise.

Waimo didn't want anything from him,

but he sought help from the fragrance tracing

feline inside soul's shirt.

He asked the senior how Juan Juan had been spotted

and about his end goal.

Waimo simply observed him moving around with cat fur on his chest,

feeling offended by being treated like a criminal when he was seeking assistance. The man

expressed his frustration. He believed that soul should help a fellow guest from the Choxon

district. Upon hearing this, soul asked the senior if they both came as guests of the same family.

The senior confirmed and introduced himself properly to soul. Following the senior's instructions,

they proceeded. So, we'll ask that he had stayed here to capture a giant shadow toward

The scene are exploited a loofle by crafting and consuming damp hills in here instead. With a rapid speed, they reached their destination soon. From this point onward, they entered the territory of the giant shadow tortoise. Wang no wanted Wang Moan to track down the fiend's scent with enthusiasm, beginning a chance to see what's in the next place. At the moment, Wang no wanted Wang no wanted Wang no wanted Wang no wanted Wang no want to track down the fiend's scent with enthusiasm, beginning a chance to see what's happening in the future.

from the mountains peak. So, knowing that giant shadow tortoises often nested in underground

water veins proposed starting there, this suggestion stopped the senior in his tracks.

Wango had no idea that these tortoises remain underground. Thus, after all these years,

it had not even seen their noses sticking out, as the old man grew agitated. So, we'll

commanded Juan Juan to begin the search. This led them to the edge of a cliff. The feline

diligently focused on its task.

Juan Juan indicated that it had found something

at the very edge of the cliff.

The adorable Juan Juan is the MVP once again.

So I believe they had discovered the tortoise hideout,

Wang have never guessed the spot due to poor visibility.

So I'll activate the wind of the termination

to clear the cloud and fog covering the area.

The senior commended him for his talent

as a massive hole gradually revealed itself.

Wang now attributed souls capability and humility

him possibly having great masters. Furthermore, the senior was convinced that they had indeed

found a giant shadow tortoise. Casually, the man leap from the high elevation to the ground below.

Since Sol had repaid his debt, he was free to act as he pleased, if he chose to follow, he

would need to watch out for himself. Sol recognized that this eccentric senior was too

carefree, as they were now facing real dangers, even Juan Juan understood the need to

to retreat into the defense pouch. With Juan Juan secured, so will leap off the cliff to follow

the senior. At the whole's bottom, he saw Guang owe already armed with his battle axe. The senior instructed

him to shut up, sensing that they had awakened the fiend. The cavern trembled and shook as a result.

The deep hole's water began to unravel. A massive shadow emerged from the depths, finally

revealing the giant shadow tortoise in a dominating stance. That tortoise looks like a

dark souls boss. This tortoise was a formidable supreme level fiend. It was the first time they had

encountered such a creature. The tortoise wasted no time and swiftly launched an attack. It executed

a forceful stomp which the two managed to evade easily. This was one tough beast, and the senior

might have to fight earnestly. He split his battle axe into two and hurled them through the air,

aiming for the tortoise's massive body. One struck its feet and the other hit its neck,

sending the fiend into a frenzied state of pain. Now bearing fresh wounds, the tortoise's

only thought was retaliation. Meanwhile, Wango couldn't believe that his cherished moon hammer had

only left a minor scratch on its sturdy skin. If this was the strength of a supreme level fiend,

Wango believed it was fitting to confront it with a supreme level Dharma tool. Thus, he retrieved

the black mirror orb from his pouch. This concentrated black hole should be enough to pierce

for the fiend. Wango condensed the orb's energy and launched it forward. The orb traveled

at astonishing speed. The giant shadow tortoise couldn't react in time to defend itself.

So we'll marvel at this immense power, realizing that the earlier criminal paled in comparison,

with a single strike, it looks like the invincible giant shadow tortoise was seemingly defeated.

Observing his power underscored soul's own weakness. However, it appeared the fiend was

not yet finished. The tortoise began to spin around like a Beyblade, emitting an orange light out of

nowhere. It spun and spun until it reached if you're some speed. Just as it reached its limit,

the tortoise started emitting a purple fog all over the place. The entire cavern quickly filled with

these fumes. Oh hell no, that's some toxic tortoise fart right there. Seeing the fog coming at them,

Wango dismissed it as mere smoke and set up a barrier. He believed that this was the tortoise's last resort

to flee after being threatened, but so old didn't share the same belief. It didn't take long for

him to be proven right. The purple smoke began to melt the senior's powerful barrier. He rotated the

barrier's fear to dispel some of the smoke. Although Wango was incredibly skilled, so old didn't

think that his wind attribute abilities would be able to keep up. If that was the case, so old would

help him out with a bit of wind of determination. Seeing that the smoke was disrupting his powers,

Wango tried to fully warn the rookie not to interfere and risk his life in vain. However, Seoul was already

compressing the surrounding purple smoke in his hands. Wango couldn't believe that a mere middle class

heavenly birth alchemist could do this with a wind skill. He had already absorbed and condensed the

toxic fumes to their smallest level. The tortoise stopped spinning its body, ceasing the production

of the purple smoke. The majority of the substance had been condensed to the point where it could fit

in sight of vile. Seeing this, the proud Supreme level beast became inferior. It opened its mouth and

emitted a new batch of eroding smoke. Wang, Owen let that attack land on the rookie, though he blocked

it with a powerful barrier. He praised Seoul's efforts against the troublesome smoke, and for that,

he would finish the rest. With its trump card neutralized, the theme turned around to rely on its

destructive tail. They almost made contact with Seoul, but he managed to bring out his shield just

in the nick of time. However, that didn't stop him from sustaining physical damage from the

fiends formidable physique. The reduced impact alone sent him into the cavern walls. The senior went

to check on him to see if he was alright. The senior's pride was affected after seeing that the

tortoise saw the kid as more of a threat than he was. He reconnected the two ends of his fatal moon

hammer to respond to the disrespect. It seemed like the giant shadow tortoise was ready for whatever

The same cavern where the intense battle had taken place now became peaceful.

The gold's wounds had been dressed, but he was still unconscious, only to be awakened by a drop of water.

Above him was Senior Guingo, upon waking up, so old shouted in shock.

He calmed himself down and assessed his situation.

With the bandages and everything, it was clear that someone had taken care of him.

Guingo told him that this wasn't a debt.

If soul hadn't dealt with a smoke, he would have been in trouble too.

The now-but-headed giant shadow tortoise had given them quite a tough time.

If this senior hadn't been with Sol, he would have still died, so he sincerely thanked him.

wedding a wasn't big on sincerity and cheesiness, dismissing the idea that they were even now after

helping each other out.

Now that he was awake, Sol panicked and hastily asked how much time had passed if he had missed

the one month deadline.

It was relieved to know that he had only been out for more than two days.

His entreaty shield and the armor inside his clothes were broken from the fight, but at least

they had saved his life.

The senior pointed out how bizarrely talented he was.

had a wind skill, but he was also skillful in using Dharma tools as if they were his limbs.

But more than anything, his character was the strangest of all. He had actually helped out

in the fight when he didn't have to. He simply reasoned that if the senior couldn't get

rid of the fiend, he would be as good as dead too. Haring souls speak and see how he acted.

Wang O'od taken a liking to this junior of his, he might have white hair but he exudes

big bro energy. Since his wounds weren't that severe, the senior would simply give him some

great done pills for recovery. And just like that, a month had passed and the closing day of

lone spirit land had come. It was apparent that the wanderer guests were taking a long time to come back.

The reason for that could either be a lack of skill or that they had been hunted down.

The Sioux siblings were getting worried about Seoul. There were 11 wanderers, but only 5 of them had come out.

Hoping for everything to go smoothly, a familiar figure flew out of the entrance.

They immediately called out to Seoul excitedly and thues that their friend and guest had come

back safely. The two greeted Seoul respectfully and he promptly returned the gesture.

Now that the three of them were safely assembled, they began discussing their individual harvests.

Seoul thanked his luck for the bountiful harvests, while the siblings were already planning to

go together next time. Not far from them, the bearded criminal alchemist noticed Seoul having a

conversation with the Sioux siblings. He'd matched his teeth in frustration, upset that Seoul had

managed to get away from him. On the ground, he also didn't miss the presence of this criminal.

They looked at each other hatefully as the faction of the bearded alchemists took their leave.

So we'll vow that if they ever met again, it definitely wouldn't go like it did the last time.

From his encounter with the ancient dragon Gilwoon to the close fight against the bearded alchemists,

and even the tail slap from the giant shadow tortoise, the specter of defeat has always

he was loomed over him. But each and every time, he was just fortunate to barely survive.

Is our boy acknowledging his plot armor? Soul is now back and districtly of Choxon, residing

in Zhan Jo's residence. His lamenting is inadequate skills, as he's consistently barely managing

to navigate tough situations or getting rescued by more powerful alchemists. Without real

power, nothing will unfold according to his plans. He can't continue like this. His already

created four damnation pills using ingredients stolen from the dragon's medicine room.

He contemplated the faces of the villains who came close to taking his life. To no longer

be swayed by forces greater than himself, he must become stronger. This time, he's aiming

to break through the realm of the law of spirit energy. He's uncertain when Elder Wang

Tael will arrive. By now, that man must have realized his disciple is dead, so so

will must prepare himself for a potential attack. He reassured Lady Zhu that their family

he's not a burden and that he's doing this to repay them for saving him in the past. He won't be going far to cultivate, so he'll be able to return if anything happens.

Leaving the courtyard, the young lady couldn't help but see him as a genuinely warm-hearted person.

She sincerely hopes that everything works out for him in the end.

Mortal Gf and Mortal Bf. I'm down for that ship.

So what made his way to his cultivation spot on his trusty flying sword.

He landed on a mountainside with a concealed massive cavern.

You can still see the due residence from this distance, so this point should suffice.

Even if hostile alchemists come, you should be able to deal with them from here.

Thus, you venture deep into the treacherous depths of the cavern.

Though he's rarely had to use it, the intrigued shield has been damaged and needs reinforcement.

The intrigue has also been destroyed, requiring a replacement Dharma tool.

Thanks to Senior Guamell, he's gathered sufficient materials to crack a stronger Dharma tool.

He only needed to take the fiend's night in from his tau spirit and any other parts of the tortoise carcass.

Utilizing his superior Dharma tool foraging skills, he worked on the blades and shield simultaneously.

He can now complete the rest of this work using his chi, but it will take time, so he'll leave it as is until it's finished.

With his tools addressed, there is only one task left.

He retrieved the four blimmering damnation pills from their box.

These pills would serve as the catalyst for his strength enhancement.

Adopting a meditative stance, he and Ishii in the process, the puton energy from the pills and the luptum.

He already senses the power of one of these damnation pills. To maximize efficiency, he must fully assimilate it.

And so, his cultivation and pill absorption commenced within the cave.

Days and nights passed until he mastered the heavenly birth.

He finally restored his strength to the level he possessed in the forest of beasts.

Moreover, he hadn't even fully utilized the energy from the damnation pill.

Much of it remained. His masters were correct that the attainment he achieved could be reversed easily.

Turning up the absorption, he began assimilating the rest of the damnation pill all at once,

intended to utilize this treasure to breach the unyielding gates of spirit energy.

Within Seoul's body, the pill's efficacy manifested its images of himself.

countless avatars materialized from the pill's potency. Internally, he raised his hand and took charge of his army of avatars.

With a resolute command, he directed his avatars to assault the gates. The avatars moved with the

unified objective of unlocking the unyielding gates of spirit energy. Despite the pill's effects,

several sensed the difficulty of the task. After stringing his attempts, he realized the massive

door hadn't budged. His masters had truly told him that something specific was required to

break through the gates of spirit energy. While racking his brain to recall what that was,

He also remembered the fourth master's playful punch and banter. He recollected Jengen's advice that

breaking this gate required more than just a massing spiritual energy. It demanded even distribution.

He also recalled the kindness and support of his first master.

As well as Jengen's wit, his masters had instilled in him that an alchemist must first find

inner peace, focusing on self-examination before all else. He knew all five of his esteemed

masters believe in his potential. These thoughts brought a genuine smile to his face.

If his masters were present, they would undoubtedly scold him for such an oversight. He had the intelligence

to memorize the chin of black ice. Yeah, he had forgotten something so crucial. He needed to alter the energy

utilization of the damnation pill. He began by infusing more sharpness using metal energy. It condenses

power using water energy, then expanded that power using wood energy, further diffusing it using

fire energy, and ultimately harmonizing and connecting all these forces using earth energy.

so he can bend every element he's literally just the avatar at this point. The gate of spirit

energy was heavy and unyielding so he focused on the sharpness of metal and the condensation

capability of water. With this method his avatars began to merge into one. The avatars formed

by the pills potency now bore even more of a striking resemblance to him. With a single push

above hands the sturdy gate began to crumble. With another forceful shove light from within

in Bien to emanate. Eventually, the barrier that had held him back was completely shattered.

A surge of energy coursed through him, opening his eyes after an arduous journey, he had finally achieved it.

He had broken through the gates of spirit energy. Somewhere unknown, a man is feeling frustrated

because no one knows were done, Judy Young went. His disciple informed him that after disappearing at the

numb young prefecture, it's highly likely that he died. This man is an elder of the Iron Sphere sect,

Wang Tael. He asked his disciple what task Jubyong was assigned. This sixth disciple of his,

Jungdongbu, gave him a complete rundown of their dealings with the mortal Joo family. He also notified his

master of the existence of another guest in the mansion. Highly likely to be an alchemist. The

disciple they sent to do the job was still in the middle class of heavenly birth, so Jungdongbu

wants to personally intervene. But his master knows that they can't gauge the skills of his assailant.

Jubion died because of his master's affairs, and it's only right for the elder himself to take care of this.

Oh snap, boss fight incoming.

Wang Teo will personally deal with a man who interrupted his so-called ceremony.

The weather is outstanding at the Zhang Zu Mansion in the lead district, a residence formally gifted to Seoul.

All this time, his dharma tools did not match his skills. But it's a different story now that he's risen to new heights.

His master, the law of spirit energy, and effectively increased his lifespan by 500 years.

But he still must practice diligently to pass on the vitality of Yin and Yang as soon as possible. The

craftsmanship of river first, string craftsmanship, and destruction sword arts must not be neglected either.

In the middle of the day, Seoul felt something approaching his residence. He went out to check who

it was that he felt. He stood his ground and firmly asked what the arriving party wanted.

Wang Tael measured him up as a mere middle-class heavenly birth alchemist,

thinking that his disciple must have been neglectful to lose his soul. Easily identified that the

The man hovering above him is elder wine that the iron spheres set.

Since he knew the elder's identity, the introduction was unnecessary.

Demanding the life of long tales, disciple was the next step.

As a senior, the elder considered a few things, asking soul to equip his Dharma tools right

away.

He promptly complied and took out his newly reinforced arsenal.

Seeing that soul's Dharma tools are high quality, the elder wanted to loot and use them after

killing him.

The disciple quietly praises Master if we're not holding back against a weak alchemist.

This spirit barrier should stop all attacks.

But so we'll know that this elder is still not taking him seriously.

This man is just too airingly generous.

He initiated the first attack by launching five magical balls.

Wine tail mocked this attack as mere tricks.

Only trivial things in a poor attempt at deception.

The elder thought that the real attacks must be amidst these tricks.

He was correct, with a simple magic ball's one ball stood out at its malicious energy.

The single ball exploded into dark smoke, as expected by the elder, further solidifying his

disbelief that his disciple was killed by soul.

Smile and confidently, soul could say the same thing about the elder.

The clueless Juan Tails started to question what was truly happening as sinister smokes

surrounded him.

In just a second, his supposedly invincible spirit barrier melted and deteriorated, but

It wasn't just a spirit barrier, the saying happened to his own energy too.

So we'll jump behind the elder and imply that he now knows why Jubion was so weak back then.

The respected elder of the Iron Sphere sect had been stabbed to death by Soul Sword.

The elder held on and took out a blade of his own, but his skin had turned completely purple and

his energy was depleting.

He unleashed a formidable slash, only for his target to disappear.

The image of Soul turned into nothing but empty smoke, and a mocking voice called out from

the side, so what was preparing his next attack, as expected of the giant shadow tortoises smoke,

even his senior Guango had a tough time against it. It was confident that he could deal with

this powerful elder from here on out, as Savage whirlwinds started to surround the panicking

long tail. In the middle of the storm, he was equally confused and frustrated that things

had turned out this way for him. He struggled in the middle of the whirlwind until he finally

took his last breath, and just for good measure, subtle ended the fight with a clean slash.

Imagine talking trash only to end up being cut down. Rip but a zone, just like that, the

disciple on the side watched his master get slain by someone they initially thought was weak.

This is a law of spirit energy alchemist, and more than that, someone who could slay the

elder in a matter of seconds. This sixth disciple, John Donbu, worked at full speed, thinking

about what he must do next. As soul was about to ask the disciple if he would like to

follow his master. The guy was already calling him senior. He even bowed with full respect and fear.

He pleaded to be spared and said that all love his level is low, he would do anything to survive.

He offered to provide soul with information about the Iron Sphere sect. So, could you

someone with this level of desperation? He agreed to take in the pathetic sixth disciple of Elder

Wand Tail, but he had other plans if he was going to let this guy live. He needed an assurance

that he would have control over this guy's life. So, he handed Dongu a familiar sinister pill.

The aura of death surrounding it should be enough to instill doubt. So, we'll explain that this

is a medicine that would prevent any tricks. Only he could make the antidote, and you would give it

to the guy every half year. Dongu could either swallow the pill or die right away. He knew that

with soul skills. It would be faster to kill him with bare hands than through poison. So, we'll watch

the poor guy take the pill and remembered his time with the ancient dragon. Of course,

this pill wasn't as toxic as the treacherous fifth poison. The disciple immediately felt his

energy being absorbed from the inside. So will then heard that Elder Wang tail had killed dozens

of alchemists to loot their Dharma tools. So each took a seal gored from the Elder's person

and played with its seal. The disciple was a second late in warning him about his toxic contents.

So what was envelopeed by a noxious green gas launched directly into his system. It seemed that

that this Dharma tool was called the rescue bottle and it required a specific opening method.

Dongu was regaining his arrogance as he watched Sowell carelessly open the poison, but it also struck

him that this guy was the only one who could make the antidote for the poison in his system.

He loudly protested that Sowell must not die just yet.

After confirming what this tool was, Sowell expressed his disappointment that the poison was

such a low level one for him.

He also mistakenly assumed that Dongu's scream of how he shouldn't die was a sign of loyalty.

So, he ordered the guy to follow him to his residence.

Don Buu also received the task of finding out how to properly open the rescue bottle.

The attendant of the Jew mansion sits idly in the courtyard, disappointed that a year has

already passed since something interesting happened in this place.

Meanwhile, Sowell is examining an amulet in his residence.

He successfully crafted this low-class amulet with the guidance and assistance of his new

poison slave, Don Buu.

Having completed the upright of his dormant tools, it might be time to head out for the

Iron Sphere sect. However, people in the sect might be a little suspicious since Elder Wontail

has not yet returned. To remedy this, so old this guy is himself as a 7th stage Dan development

alchemist. He concentrates and swiftly retracts his power to hide his true level. In just a few seconds,

he now appears to be at the 7th stage of Dan development. This is the same trick that caused

the powerful elder to lower his guard and lose his life. With his guys in place, he is ready to

set off. It's excited to see how much wealth the elder has accumulated over the years. Welcome

to the sturdy and stalwart grounds of the Iron Sphere sect. The elder in charge of educating

new disciples introduces himself to the crowd. Everyone here, including the disguise soul,

has been acknowledged. However, there's a significant caveat as long as they're in this sect,

the time for play and comfort is over. They will become the lowest of the low on the ladder

and will be tasked with all the tea is chores. They'll have to serve their seniors, senior

masters, and senior brothers. They will do everything in exchange for a small portion of

spirit stones and will be responsible for themselves from now on. So they'll basically

live the life of a normal citizen. Got it. Everyone has been instructed to move forward

to be assigned their tasks. One disciple approaches soul and addresses him by name. It

seems Dongu pulled some strings to get him a sign wherever he wants, which happens to

the place where they are growing sacred herbs. The disciple warns him that this cultivator task is quite

difficult and the master there is picky. However, he doesn't mind at all. The disciple guarantees him the job

in exchange for a good word to their senior brother Dongu. Thus, he is escorted to the place where the

sect cultivates sacred herbs. He notices that they are artificially increasing the age of the herbs here.

Inside the residence, he only senses the presence of a single person. He can already tell

it this job is a perfect fit for him. He slowly opens the door and offers a respectful greeting.

Inside is the master of the cultivation area, Mach-Jum. He introduces himself as the new recruit assigned

to the job, receiving a nonchalant response. When he inquires about his task, the elders simply

tell him to take it easy. Oh man, this would be the job for me. However, the old man looks at him

for a moment and seems to have a different thought. He starts to worry that this elder might have

seen through his consummate technique. The old man shifts to a more serious expression and

soul starts sweating nervously. If his guy really sees through him, his plans could be

thrown into chaos. But Mach-Jum only wants to express that he looks good and that he's more

handsome than the sect leader. Hold up, old man Mach-Jum is kind of sus. This also prompts

the elder have a favorable impression of him, even offering to read his fortune, which he declines.

I won't let this old man raid my palm too. To test him out, he will have to memorize a series of books in three days before receiving his task on the fourth day. He can use any vacant lodging in the back, and there are two other seniors in this place. That should be enough work for the elder today, so if he goes ahead and takes a nap, Mike falls and Seoul has finally settled into his new residence for a while. He knows how to make damn pills, but he's just starting to learn how to grow their ingredients. He quickly memorizes the books so he can move on to his next mission.

He quickly scans the area to see if anyone is nearby. After confirming that he's alone,

he bursts into action with godlike speed. In mid-air, he retrieves something from his pouch.

It's a familiar luxurious garment from someone mentioned a few chapters ago. It's long tails

entire drip. Not only that, Seoul also has his face. Bar for bar, he copied the dead man's whole

flow. Dombu is already anticipating his arrival at the sex entrance, so he'll probably arrives

with his perfect cosplay set. He praises Don Bue from making it easier for him to blend in. Soil is already thinking about

all the treasures he can take from this sect, but it seems there's one more problem they must deal with. When Don Bue returns to

the sect, the leader wonders where his master is. So now, the sect leader has personally requested it face

to face me. Late at night, Soil must comply and meet with the powerful sect leader of one of the

nation's largest factions. Both snap, psychological warfare with a big dog incoming. He greets

respectfully as soon as the doors open. The Iron Sphere sect leader, Wu Heoji, appears to be a

cunning and clever man. Seoul is welcomed with the Elders' favorite nectar liquor. The leader

expresses his concern for Seoul's unexplained absence for a few days. He then asks what the leader

wants to know. The Elders' disappearance before the so-called event has put the leader on high alert.

This event should concern only the upper echelons, and Sol tries to portray himself similarly to the

arrogant long tail. After listening to Sol, it's clear that the leader has significantly back down and

relaxed. The crucial thing is that Sol has returned in time. While the elder was absent,

preparations were slow, which is why the master opened the doors for new disciples. Sol dismisses

the idea, stating he has no interest in newly hatched chicks. Based on the leader's words,

Most of the new disciples would end up dead, while someone emerged as an emoji, just like Wontail himself.

The warning of that sentence leads soul to focus on what that event truly is.

Right now, he's certain that this sect is preparing for an incoming war.

They're about to start call of duty, alchemist warfare.

It seems like this war will be different from the last one.

Most of the forces have come to their side, regardless of political standing.

The head and elders of the Sioux family also went ahead and trapped themselves to death.

It was a turning point. After this war, the sect will take over the family's spirit's stone mine.

The sadistic sect leader continued to talk on and on about the slaughter of the Sioux family,

a family that Seoul was acquainted with. The leader's concerns have grown too much after

not seeing his trusted elder, so Seoul had to apologize for this again. He excused himself to stop

by this sacred flower treasury. He now knows that a blood purge will soon come to this nation,

The justice and evil factions are finally going to clash, and he's conflicted about the people he's

met in this country. In the end, he convinced himself that this war had nothing to do with him.

He just needs to loot long tales, wealth, and disappear. He finally arrived in front of the

treasury only accessible to elders and those above. The border security reflects the value of the

treasures inside, the guards at the entrance respectfully greeted him. He can simply walk through

the gates without a fuss and with assistance. Deep inside the structure is a massive seal

gate with four old men serving as guardians. One of them initiated the opening ceremony with the

activation of his elemental energy. The other three followed with their own distinct attributes.

It seems like you would need four law of spirit energy alchemists just to open this treasury.

This just served as another reason to be excited about what's stored inside. The door then slowly

open, revealing a bright light. One of the alchemists instructed him to follow the exact steps he

would take. They quietly made their way deep inside the magical treasury. This area should only be

about two rooms wide, but they created a massive subspace inside. He was led to another door that

should specifically belong to Wontail. This is where the trouble starts, he doesn't know how to open

this door. Even Don Moo doesn't know about this one. As he was shaking in his boots, the attending

alchemists started to grow suspicious. He reckoned that the key must be the emergency bottle.

If he fumbles at this stage, he'd have to fight through four law of spirit energy alchemists

and a whole sect. He thought he might as well try the emergency bottle method that Donbu figured out.

He held his breath as he attempted to open the door. A sigh of relief escaped from him after

seeing the seal become undone. He was now for your roam and plunder long tales lifelong treasures.

After completely robbing their vaults, he was even respectfully greeted as he walked out. Imagine robbing a

bank and the guards help you carry the bags of cash to your getaway car. He flew away as fast as he could,

with this long tail will disappear from the world. He just hopes that he can see the

sec leader's expression when he finds out. The cultivation area of the sect is at the foot

of Mount Jumma, since the Lord of the area likes him. So will the sides to stay here for a while.

He can polish all his skills and abilities peacefully. Furthermore, ordinary disciples are prohibited

from entering this place, but that's until a punk wearing a fancy armor set scolded him for slacking

off. The moment you try to chill, some Bozo always comes to bother you. He had just finished work,

so he's all good to chill. And he doesn't know who this guy is. This young man arrogantly

referred to himself as the great disciple of the great Iron Sphere. He immediately recognized

that this was senior brother Wu and a humble apology settled the situation. But this guy shouldn't even

be here in the first place. This cultivation area is prohibited to ordinary disciples after all.

Clearly embarrassed, young master Wu insisted that he could enter any place in this sect.

This young man is the son of the sect leader, and he seems to be planning something by coming here.

This boy is a nepo baby. That plan became apparent as the kid asked where the junior sister

So all has been working here for half a month, but he still hasn't seen the senior sister of his.

Young Master Wu took pity on him for not having seen the charm of the young woman.

Young Master Wu insisted that he wouldn't be satisfied with the simple life here after seeing the

lady's face. He just couldn't believe that his lady was as pretty as the young man claimed.

This mochaeum is widely regarded as the prettiest woman in the Iron Sphere sect.

It's a mystery in that the same lord of this cultivation area had a daughter as pretty as her.

Yum master Wu even slipped and he shouldn't even be here to catch a glimpse of her. And so, he commissioned

soul to keep this visit as secret in exchange for a great position in the sect. However, a firm and

authoritative voice of a woman was already yelling for the Yum master. Machiam has already told him

to stop sneaking into this area again. I honestly don't see the hype, but I respect Yum master Wu's

taste. She threatened to go to the sect leader and report him. The desperate Yum master Wu even

use the sole as escape boat to stop her. This is also the first time that the two disciples

of the cultivation area are meeting. They greeted each other respectfully. The young

master wouldn't mind using sole again as a reason to come to this mountain over and over,

but you'll have to leave now, as ordered by Makiam. The young man is genuinely smitten

by the young woman. Even so, we'll see how head over heels that Brad is. Now that they are

the only two remaining in this spot, they can talk freely. Knowing that her father must have

given soul some books she offered to help him with his studies. He assessed that she's a sensible person unlike her father, but he paid

he's the young Wuchnong for falling for someone hard to win over. Before he could go back to his residence, she

sternly ordered him to wait. The lady asked him what his true deal is, this question naturally confused him.

Machiamen gravely asked him how he managed to hide his ability. Wait, she's pretty, kind, and strong enough to

see through our boy, that might be a way for material. This young morning saw through his technique

effortlessly. Initially, he believed she was merely of the heavenly birth stage, but she's an

enlightened yin and yang alchemist, a step above him. He attempted to deny the accusations,

but she pressed on. Her interrogation continued, probing into why he was sneaking into this place

disguised as a novice in Dan development. Reluctantly, he confessed that his purpose was to learn

how to cultivate sacred herbs in this energetically rich and tranquil environment. The words that

followed were pivotal, potentially determining whether Machiam would spare his life or not.

He argued that death was too severe, especially if she herself was concealing her strength.

Her explanation was that she was hiding her power to prevent unnecessary conflicts.

Upon reflection, he realized this applied to him as well. His senior sister acknowledged his

point, allowing him to stay but under the condition that he set up his room next to hers.

That's a mission failed successfully. As she spotted anything even remotely suspicious,

she would tear him apart and feed him to the fiends. With this agreement,

so we'll finally breathe a sigh of relief. He comprehended that beneath the threats,

this young lady was simply safeguarding her loved ones. Beneath her exterior,

she was warm-hearted. Thus, he relocated to a house adjacent to his senior sisters,

examining the wealth of techniques he had pilfered from the treasury. Moreover,

Wang Tails' abundance of spirit stones that came from bloodshed and access to a collection of untitled,

and superior-level visions are now his property. Amidst the stack of books, one technique caught his eye.

Focusing his energy inward, a perfect duplicate of himself manifested before him.

Gazing at the clone and astonishment, he marveled at how he had created it using a small amount of

spiritual energy. The book noted that even in light in yin and yang alchemists wouldn't discern the trick.

The drawback was that control in the clone required conscious effort, leaving room for mistakes

and exposure. Yet, he had already mastered the chant of black ice for splitting consciousness.

Guided by this, he attempted to manipulate the clone. With the optimized chant of black ice,

this technique suited him perfectly. Henceforth, he named the technique alter ego.

Late into the night, he diligently meditated in his room. Occasionally, a surge of energy passes

through him fleetingly. His senior sister next door remained vigilant, monitoring him with her

chi. Although he inspired to practice the second half of the destruction sword art forms,

the current situation hindered him. He decided to engage Machiaem in conversation. She opened the door,

dressed in her flowing silk gown prepared for bedtime. The transformation from her aura of death

to now was astounding. It's obvious why she was known as the sex beauty. Seeking her consent

to practice. Express concern that his swordsmanship practice might disturb her. The young lady was

curious about the swordsmanship of the young man. A.O. pause, what kind of swords are we talking about

here? He can't go into details, but he still wanted to give her a heads-up and ask for permission.

She granted permission with a caveat she would oversee his practice due to lingering distrust.

This condition was non-negotiable for the stubborn lady. She even joked that his sword arts

might be so basic that they could be copied with a mere glance. Although reluctant to reveal this

technique, he realized she wouldn't be able to practice it without the chant of black ice. Thus,

he accepted her terms. After warning her about the strength of his technique to prevent accidents,

they headed to the mountains. Her curiosity centered around his true capabilities. With precise

control, two swords floated beside him. Executing the first form of destruction's sword arts,

the flying, swallow energy strike, he transitioned seamlessly to the second form,

Watercross counterattack. The sword slashed a nearby tree, leaving deep gashes in its bark.

Next, he performed a yin and yang conjunction. The Dharma tools landed as he caught his breath.

So I'll recognize that no technique within their sect matched this swordsmanship.

Unfinished, he moved to the fifth form, dark countercurrent. The swords ascended and then descended

like mique work blades. Now, it was time for the second half of the arts. The seventh form,

The touch of mist envelop the blades in a faint, misty glow. The potency and aura of these

Dharma tools were palpable. The two swords elegantly twisted around a tree, leaving it brutally shattered.

Though demanding on spiritual energy, its power was unmatched. Observing his techniques,

Machiaem felt a twinge of envy. Possessing ample spiritual energy, she lacked a fitting technique.

She praised his impressive display. Understanding his dedication to mastering the technique,

They returned to their residences. A month passed, and Makiyam grew impatient with soul's absence from

practice. Attempting to replicate his movements yielded no progress. Suddenly, the adjacent houses

door opened. She eerily inquired if he would finally practice, only to learn he would train differently

this time. Despite this, she still wanted to watch. Realizing he would need her help, he proposed a

test of his clone's effectiveness against her discernment. She promptly identified his real body

among the clones time and time again in multiple tries. This technique didn't interest her,

he preferred watching his sword arts. However, Sel will remain determined to refine his alter-ego

technique until it could deceive her. He embarked on closed-door research, returning with three

flawless copies. Even then, Machiaon confidently pinpointed his real body. She proposed a bet

if she found the genuine soul she would win. And her reward for being correct, to learn his

his remarkable swordsmanship technique, no way she's getting the fifth master's legacy. He immediately

disagreed with the bet. She even tried to have a look down to just one form, but it's a technique

that must be combined with another. Desperate, she would settle for any other offensive techniques.

He wins the bet, she'll agree to any favor. She really wants an attacking skill, so she's willing

to do absolutely anything. He knows you shouldn't go around spreading his master's legacies,

But since they have developed mutual trust, the bet is on.

He promptly cloned himself into three.

If she fadels to guess even one of ten tries, then he will have one.

He's so confident in his deception this time.

However, as always, Maki Em is just too good at discerning fake from real.

It's so simple to her that it sends him into a downward spiral, since she won the bet.

It's time for payment.

As promised, he handed her a technique from a book that came from long tail's collection.

She's open to the idea of another round of bedding once he can make four clones.

She'll even give him 30 chances.

The technique she won is the spiral bomb.

It condenses spirit energy to the extreme.

The five elements can even be incorporated for even more destructive power.

So it's basically raw sengon from Arudo.

The competitive soul would like to try the bed again.

This time putting two wishes on the line.

But his confidence will be shattered once more.

Two months later, every one of his alter egos would be seen through. He was forced to hand over another skill called the inner binding seal to Machiaem.

He's certain that she's hiding something, but he has no clue what it is.

Just like that, half a year has passed peacefully without fuss. The two have grown significantly closer to each other.

Their late night getaways have become quite commonplace to the point where Seoul almost loses everything he has.

While they were working, a sect disciple came running onto the scene as fast as he could.

He came to deliver a transfer order for disciple Wun Sol. She immediately tried to protest

this mandate. This transfer is happening because of the great war unfolding in the nation.

Evil faction is closer to victory than ever before. She and her father have been exempted

from the war, but Sol is not exempt even though he's listed as a done development disciple.

The messenger assured them that Sol won't be sent to the danger zones. He will only be deployed

under the siege group to sweep over the remnants of the Sioux family. The exhausted

Stravlers can hardly pose any threat to their forces. Soul is deliberating whether he should go, but this is the so family, the family they gave in the opportunity to go to the lone spirit land. He'll answer the call to action. The messenger preys his vigor and passion as a disciple of the sect, and he prepared right away.

Makiyam is extremely reluctant to see him go, but he reassured her that he'll be back swiftly.

In the Chaxun Mountains, the remnants of the Sioux family are fleeing for their survival.

The siblings, along with another member, are the families only hope.

They need to survive until they can reach the arrangement prepared in case of their families

annihilation.

Their other brother named Choon can't handle a fatigue anymore.

They've been running through a dense forest for half a day, and her stamina is giving out.

The bloodline of their proud family has almost been extinguished overnight.

The Tiger clan and the three ministry martial arts family of the Justice Sex caught them

by surprise with their sudden betrayal.

far from their resting spot, there was an explosion of spirit energy. The criminal bearded alchemists from the spirit land

is relentlessly hunting them. This scum is named Elder Beam. The criminalism used, hunting down helpless prey.

So we try to talk to the bearded man about showing them mercy. But the criminal only laughed at his proposal and

insulted him for him bringing it up. He then proceeded to offer a reward if the criminal just

pretends not to see them. The word rewards Pete the bearded man's attention. With their whole family

The bearded man casually unleashed a flaming king's slash, a crash into the woods with an explosion. A single strike rendered so

we useless, even as siblings got caught in the blast radius. But you still want to propose something before he dies.

Not wanting to hear any more, Beam releases Dharma tool. Sui doesn't care if he dies, but he'll give the bearded man the location of the treasures in exchange for his siblings lives.

The criminal agreed just in time. He'll listen to this last wish for the location. The helpless Sui wants Beam to come closer so he can tell him.

Skeptical, Beam wants him to write it out, but with his spiritual energy rapidly being exhausted, he doesn't have enough time.

You also threw his patch away for assurance. Biom went ahead and came closer to here the treasure location. Sui's look of defeat turned into a look of malice. He released a dark and malevolent smoke from his mouth. The enveloped Biom, paralyzing his body and scattering his spiritual energy. The criminal fell victim to his own greed. He won't let them get away, even if he must call for help. From afar, a few young alchemists spotted Biom's signal beam. This group that's just looking for a spot to camp included soul. He decided to go into the

to leave his alter ego at the camp while he slipped into the action. You can only hope that

Sui is alright. Sui Dijin took over their retreat after her brother passed out. Elder Biom has

recovered and is right on their tail, angrier than ever. He screamed that if they had abandoned

their big brother, they would have had a higher possibility of escaping. Big ran and ran until

there was no place left to run. They resigned to their fate and felt relieved that since Sui was

paralyzed too, he wouldn't feel a pain of death. No one would witness their deaths, but she would

You curse this villain until her last breath.

Beam couldn't care less as he sent his wooden sight downwards.

He mocked them, saying that after death, they would just have to wash and live a good and eternal

life.

The criminal celebration was cut short as his dormant tool was crushed mid-air.

It was interrupted by a middle-aged man holding a familiar looking blade.

Beam assessed that the stranger was a law of spirit energy alchemist.

This man had appeared out of nowhere and looked an awful lot like long tail.

Weird tried to throw out the names of big sex and families, insisting that this was a matter

between factions.

But the man did not pay him any attention.

He gave the siblings some wound pills to help them recover from their injuries and restore

their spiritual energy.

So Jijin was skeptical at first, but they had no choice, so she fed the pill to her brother.

B.M. asked the stranger if he was from Choxen, but he introduced himself as someone from

the Iron Sphere sect.

This only confused B.M. further, they should be collaborating instead, but the stranger was not

not helping the siblings, it was just getting in the way of the hateful criminal due to their history.

B.M. was now utterly lost in confusion. All he could see was a stranger ruling five Dharma tools against him.

He decided to focus on defending with his spirit barrier. He just needed to wait for support,

but this thin layer of defense wouldn't suffice. A blue beam of light forcefully crashed against his barrier,

eventually shattering a hole in his defense. Now that his spirit barrier was breached,

Beams of light and flying blades can rushing at him. He wouldn't give in without a fight, so he launched his wooden

sight again. This man had truly appeared out of nowhere to foil the villains' plans. The barrier completely

shattered, and the blade lunged into Beams' body. He was driven to the ground, defeated within an inch of

his life. As he raised his head for a final look, the stranger told him not to extort juniors anymore.

Those words triggered memories from about two long ago, his journey through the lone

His own spirit land and meeting the formidable junior, and his eventual retreat against Guangau.

The identity of the stranger finally made sense.

Civil and long tales as guys had used up quite a lot of spirit stones for this fight.

He also remembered that the remnants of the so family were here, so Jijian remained on

high alert after hearing that the man was with the Iron Sphere sect.

But the man knew her by name, and when the illusion was undone, she saw Sol's reassuring

face.

She had not expected him to be here at all.

They had no time to catch up and were in dire need to flee from this sight first.

Hopping on their flying swords, they headed out to retreat.

The recovery pit will revitalize sudition and stabilize her brother.

She had known as Seoul was this powerful.

He halted their advance for a moment after sensing something.

Five experts in a law of spirit energy were coming for them, maybe even more.

This information sent a shiver down her spine.

This many strong enemies were hopeless for them.

There could be upwards of 10 experts coming their way.

sure in that after he helped them out as best as he could, it wouldn't blame Sol if he chose to

abandon them. But if he helped them until the end, she swore to repay him even after death. This

was quite a heavy request, but Sol chose to do his best. They continued their flight to meet their

pursuers. He said a rule that if his life was in danger, he would flee. Although he had some ties

to the Sioux family, it didn't warrant sacrificing his life. It didn't take long for the situation to

take a turn for the worse. They were already surrounded from every angle. While hovering

in mid-air, he asked the cover pursuers to reveal themselves. As soon as he said that, formidable

experts around them blocked their retreat. Each one of these individuals held an elder

role or higher. They got the whole retirement community in here. Soul is in a pinch once again.

The one leading the pack found his uncle Beam's body on their way here. Jijin is using

his flying sword. However, even if the remnants of the Sioux family were together, they would

not have stood a chance. He asks Stole if he did it to help the Sioux family of Choxon.

He confirmed the truth in that, but he also holds a personal grudge against the guy. The leader

can see that as the case, based on his uncle's ambition. But no one had dared to act on these

grudges. Due to the personal vendetta, the leader won't put the blame solely on Stole. However,

the honor of a fallen family needs restoration. An elder of the family has died. And the

A patriarch cannot simply let it go. Solid jumped out of his flying sword and wielded every

Dharma tool in his arsenal. On one side, he had an elder with a spike flail and a sharp blade.

On the other, a fiery orb and a wooden staff. So he'll know that drawing out the fight with his depleted

spirit energy would only lead to his demise. If he'll sorry for the Sioux family, like he needs

to escape from here, he plans to focus on defense and then flee in the opposite direction.

The coordinated charge of the elders left no openings to exploit. He was forced to defend

as hard as he could. Re-enforcing his tools with giant shadowed tortoise shells is paying

off now. Blocking this many formidable alchemists used to be unthinkable. However, the fact

that the leading alchemists still hasn't moved in inches making him nervous. Moreover, the

elder wielding of flail is becoming especially annoying. Rather than being chased by that thing,

he should subdue it and run away. Stoles summon his Dharma toolballs and launch three of

them to optimal spots before activating their flashing lights. He capped it off as some

lesser smoke bombs to further lower visibility. The elders are now in the dark about his

next move. He summoned four identical alter egos, each one targeting a different person. This

has put the elders in a bind, especially the one carrying the flail. Sull dash at full speed

to neutralize the old man, preparing to unleash his sweltering wave of anxiety at point-blank range.

However, it was interrupted by a harmonious flow of water. He noticed that it was coming from behind

him. The peaceful flow quickly transformed into a raging surge of unstoppable water. From mid-air,

this elemental attack pinned him down to the ground. He was then forced to stay down there with a

trident aim at his neck. The leader read his moves like an open book. Big dog, white hair,

Poseidon did not come out here to play. He asked the man how he was found out, and the leader

simply put himself in souls' shoes. If he were in that situation, he would have prioritized the

massive threat of the flail as well. Solo was utterly defeated this time around. His confidence in escaping was more pathetic than anything,

gathering water-spirit energy around the Trident, the leader intended to end everything now. However,

he suddenly felt the arrival of someone new, something flew through the air at breakneck speed,

Dunning the Mask of a Beast. The leader was forced to parry the incoming rush from a fair distance away,

we see the familiar white hair of a senior. It seems even the leader knows who this guy is interrupting them.

It was none other than Guango Duan right him on top of a white crane. He came to the rescue of the children of the

Sioux family and the guy lying on the ground. It's evident that he has just had a massive breakthrough,

having lived in the lone spirit land for 40 years. Things have turned out quite well for him. He even

recommended the elders to do the same for 100 years. The seniors certain that with him, the guy behind

the leader, and the white crane, it would be enough to put up a bloody fight. He asked the leader if they

would risk their lives for the sake of children from a fallen family. After taking a moment

to think about it, the leader gave up on the Suremans. However, he still wants to take care of

the man who took the life of his uncle. To this, Wango couldn't help but laugh. Even his pet

white crane shared a hearty chuckle. He insisted that since he liked the guy, they could just use

force if words weren't an option. This put the leader in a tough spot, but in the end,

he still chose the rational decision of letting the matter go. He's really good in assessing

situations. Why can't all villains be this smart and rational? Bro, and so the leader and his elders left

the scene without a fuss. Wango immediately scolded Seoul for hiding his face in front of his senior.

And thus, the lone spirit land junior and senior duo were reunited once again. It's been a while since

Seoul last saw the white-haired senior, but as expected, he still as reckless as ever. His rapid

transition from heavenly birth to the law of spirit energy was quite surprising. As Seoul will talk

about himself. The senior felt proud that Seoul would risk his life for others while remaining

humble. He's gaining more favor with the senior. Seoul also questioned how the senior identified him

correctly while hiding his face. Seoul's defensive maneuvers were dead giveaway. Besides,

no one would interfere in other people's business like him. Thanks to the giant shadow turtles

Meiden, Sr. Guango Dewan reached the late stage law of spirit energy to break out of the lone

spirit land. He wanted to commemorate that with young one from the Sioux family, but all

he saw was destruction. The world seemed to have changed even more than he had. Finally, they

arrived at the secret location of the Sioux family, where an old lady with a kind face

created them. She's the guardian of this cover location. She invited everyone inside to

recuperate, so we'll assess that this old lady is at the first stage of the law of spirit

energy. In the secret underground space, there was an arrangement prepared in case of

destruction. Sue we would lead them through this secret passageway. He executed the necessary hand seals

and touched the floor, revealing a staircase leading downwards. Descending to the basement,

Saul saw a sizable magic formation. This arrangement appeared to be a teleportation portal,

smaller than the forest of beasts but larger than the iron's fear sex. The location this portal

connected to is a secret of the Sue family. Sue be handed soul and the senior small bags.

These contain every spirit stone that could spare as a token of appreciation for their kindness.

So we felt a shame that they could only offer so little,

the scene to decline the bag outright, considering it inappropriate to accept from their benefactors.

So it will also refuse, not expecting any reward and thinking it would be more useful for

the Sioux siblings. The remnants of the Sioux family, finally overwhelmed with emotions,

have been sheltered by the family until this disaster, realizing how cruel a world can be.

However, seeing soul and the senior give and hope that the world wasn't entirely dark.

Sui was moved to the point of kneeling, vowing with his younger siblings to rebuild the family,

with everyone in the Sui family acknowledging soul and the senior's greatness.

Rather than formalities, the mystery lay in where this portal led.

It teleported them outside of the country to the day when nation.

Known for its skilled alchemists, although challenging,

experiencing a broader world would undoubtedly help them rebuild.

The siblings would increase their levels and lay the groundwork for the reconstruction.

In this place where strength was revered and life meant little, it would go all into rebuild

the Sioux family legacy.

With these three children of the Sioux clan becoming respectable alchemists, the portal could

accommodate up to seven people, providing ample space for more.

Senior Guango do and express his desire to join them in their journey.

As this country had become the world of the evil sect, there was no reason for him to stay

any longer.

Perhaps he could break through to the breath of the sun in the larger D.W. nation. The old

woman outside agreed to accompany them, offering a powerful ally. When an invitation was extended

to Seoul, he entered deep thought. The faces of the people he had met in this country flashed

through his mind. While interested, he couldn't leave now, severing relationships for an alchemist

would always be complicated. Sui and everyone waited for three more days, just in case,

There were other survivors, but they were the only ones left. Before departing, Sumi insisted on teaching

Seoul how to use the portal in case he changed his mind. Finally, they bid farewell, hoping to reunite

in the future. Seoul initially thought their relationship was shallow, but he now felt a sense of

emptiness that they left. For now, he needed to return to the mountain of five gates. He made an

excuse to his assigned party, claiming he got lost in the forest. The evil sect alliance concluded

that there were no survivors left. At the cultivation area of the Iron Sphere sect, someone practiced a familiar technique.

It was seen your sister Makiam missing her junior brother. She couldn't help but worry about him after his

conscription. Thankfully, she spotted a familiar figure in the air atop a flying sword. Makiam thought her eyes were

playing tricks on her, but it truly was her dearly missed junior brother. The two quickly resumed

their playful banter. She excitedly mentioned her newfound ability to create spiral bombs with both

of hands. Senior sister could finally test her skills against soul in a strength contest.

However, he preferred any mission or war instead of being her practice partner again.

A year pass and soul continued to practice diligently. Today, his defensive abilities would be

put to the test as he blocked his senior sister's relentless spiral bombs. He managed to

block everything this time, but she was growing more formidable by the minute, just as they were

about to continue their conversation. Souls hidden slave urgently entered the scene.

Dong Bhuv and restier to report that the dhamma sect was attacking and killing disciples of the Iron Sphere sect.

This news was shocking because the dhamma sect was supposed to be their ally.

However, the slaughter of six laws, spirit energy masters on the way here, left no doubt of the declaration of war.

Dong Bhuv's distress was palpable and so well decided to spare his life by providing him with an antidote for the poison in his system.

Dong Bhuv knew the way out of Mount Jumwa so that they could follow him to safety.

Seeing that his senior sister was lost and thought, so old allowed Dawn Boo to run ahead.

Their immediate concern was to inform her father, the master of the land, about the attack.

Her father initially expressed skepticism, but the gravity of the situation and the look on her face

convinced him.

Their first priority was to meet with Muyoshin, as they left the garden.

They discovered Muyoshin's lifeless body.

They decided to retreat to safety with no time to bury him, as the enemy was likely waiting

to seize the teleportation portal.

They planned to send the mountain through the forest of beauty when another person approached

them, imploring them to flee.

This newcomer was the sex-yone master, who had a better understanding of the situation.

The Talness sect had betrayed them, and their goal was to gain control of the entire nation.

The evil and justice sects were already aligned with them.

Thanks to a powerful alchemist from the Dauntless Association who had broken through a decade ago.

The young master knew this firsthand, as his father and several elders had already fallen

victim to the expert's brutality.

So old knew they had to escape as he was tired of being caught up in uncontrollable situations.

Fortunately, the three of them were not low-level practitioners. It should be able to make it

out of Mount Jomwa. However, as they followed the route from the forest of fine beauty.

So old sensed trouble. They had fallen into a trap, and the enemy was closing in fast.

A high-speed flying sword chase ensued, and so will realize you might have a chance to escape

alone, but staying with the group would likely lead to their demise. Six people pursued

them and aside from senior sister moke, the other two were not a much help. So I'll recall these similar

situation at the mountain of five gates where fleeing had been a wise choice. However, his attachment to

his senior sister, whom he had spent a year with, made him hesitate. So he's basically a simp. She was strong

in combat, but lack of proper, dormant tool and proficiency in the arts. So I believe you could

contend with the law of spirit energy alchemists, but their surprise attack from behind changed

Everything. The old man fell from the flying sword and seeing her father in danger, Makiyam

sprained at action. She gathered two spiral bombs in her hands and aimed them at the pursuing alchemists.

Initially, the pursuer seemed confident with a well-timed barrier. The spiral bombs shattered it.

It was a feat that shouldn't have been possible, revealing Makiyam as an exceptionally dangerous heavenly

birth alchemist. Now, the escaping party had no choice but to stand their ground and fight together.

The dongeless alchemists focused their attacks on mochaeum, disregarding the young master.

However, their efforts were in vain as souls artifact neutralized their attacks.

After a year of peace, it was time for another battle, and soul wielded his blade to face the enemy's head on.

The dongeless alchemists had just realized that two individuals were concealing their powers.

However, they remained confident in their numerical advantage.

Four of them focused on soul and mochaeum, while the other two targeted the elderly man and the young master.

Yum master Wuhan completely given up leaving they were doomed. He stood behind the woman he adored and a junior brother, desperately wanting to escape.

In contrast, Seoul maneuvered his swords to take charge of the offense. Initially, targeting a man in charge with his large barrier seen foolish, but so will quickly shatter that magic barrier to pieces.

Unfortunately, another man blocked his killing blow. Even more time, Seoul might have succeeded in landing at Fatal Strike.

As for old man Mach Jung, he barely held on with his tiny shield, far from the protective father he

aspired to be. His daughter and soul fought with twice the determination of everyone else.

Meanwhile, Machiam worried about her father on the side, he meant everything to her.

The thought of failing to protect and filled her with deep self-loathing,

almost as if the enemies could read her mind. A sword piers the old man's chest.

Senior sister Washington horror as her father fell to the ground with a blade through his chest.

Makia began to transform, a sinister aura enveloping her. This transformation was beyond anyone's expectations.

She morphed into something resembling a beast, with a sinister aura running wild. The dalmas alchemists had no idea what

this aura was until one of them was completely engulfed and made a painful end. Another was so

distracted by the chaos that he lost an arm. Makia moved like a wild monster, unmatched in speed and

power. Her father remained conscious and desperately pleading with her to stop. His efforts to conceal

of her true origin had clearly failed. Regaining his composure, one of the alchemists muttered

the words "slessial being." The only explanation for Machiaon's dramatic transformation was that

she was a celestial being. Now, so well understood why his senior sister was exceptionally strong.

She had the blood of a sacred beast mixed with her humanity. Her night was unique, offering

advantages but also exhausting her. Some alchemists hunted celestial beings for their blood to gain immense spiritual power. This

must have been why Machium and her father were living quietly in the cultivation area. When left uncontrolled, the

sinister aura brought an impending sense of doom. It clung to one of the enemy's barriers and quickly crushed it,

leading to a brutal death. The remaining dauntless alchemists decided to retreat and report this to their

senior master. It seemed that Machiaem had also exhausted herself for the time being. The group took

a moment to assess the damage they had incurred. Fortunately, the old man's organs were

undamaged by the sword. Now that senior sister Machiaem's true identity as a celestial being was

revealed, the dauntless sect would pursue her even more vigorously. They needed to escape the forest

of fine beauty as quickly as possible. However, news of senior sisters true form had already reached

the ears of the sex most powerful alchemist. Her unique form and patterns marked her as a

genuine celestial being. The senior master wasted no time and gave chase, determined to capture her

and it cost. He closed in on their route, and a celestial being was about to fall into his hands. The

pressure from the breath of the Sun alchemist was overwhelming. As Machia and Regain consciousness,

she realized the situation had deteriorated. Fully aware that they were cornered,

Yum master Wu tried to reassure her. Like his words earned him a swift and fatal beam of light

through his skull. That's a perfect smepper headshot. Yum master Wu fell quickly and abruptly.

If it wouldn't give up Makiyam peacefully, the senior master was prepared to steal her away.

Makiyam was still in shock from everything that had happened, while the master was already

preparing to capture her. All old man Makiyang could think about was stopping the expert.

He had been to anything for his beloved daughter, Yum. Holding him a mysterious pill in his hand. He

cared not of his late and power surged or his nydon shattered. He would determine to save his daughter

at any cost. The old man swallowed the pill of his last wish for soul to take care of Yum.

Old man mucked young transformed, becoming unrecognizable from his frail self. The cedar master only

glanced down at him, considering him a mere novice in the world of heavenly birth. The gap between

him was immense. Flying swords and sneak attacks proved futile against the formidable aura of the Sun and Alchemist. These

attempts were feeble against his aura covered blades. The small daggers easily pierced the old man's

trusted shield, leaving him with only his wooden staff to fight with. Empowered by a mysterious pill,

Mach John's combat skills had soared to unprecedented levels. In the midst of a battle against an

overwhelmingly powerful opponent, he even managed to catch his fallen daughter. However, what alone

could not withstand the senior master's true so many fire. With no means to extinguish the flames,

Mach-jone had to abandon his weapon. With nothing but his bare hands, Mach-jone refused to surrender

and press forward. He was determined to buy his daughter even a moment's respite. No matter how brief.

Mach-yam understood her father's sacrifice. Stonewall also knew the inevitable outcome. Without

hesitation, the senior master struck another fatal blow. They had been on the run for hours,

And now Dawn was breaking. Makiam's father had given his life to protect her. If Meg was the time of the fiends,

then Dawn belonged to the sacred beasts. She transformed into her celestial form and broke

free from the vines. This time, it wasn't just brute force and his sinister aura that aided her.

Under the sun's rays, she unlocked her absolute spiritual eyes. Even the formidable breath of the

sun alchemist sensed danger as she tapped into this ability. Suddenly, the almighty senior master of

the Dauntless Association looked as if he had seen a ghost. Thoughts of his inferiority to his

exceptional brother flooded his mind. He was ensnared in a deeply personal and intricate illusion.

After activating this potent ability, Makiyam's body gave in and she lost consciousness.

So we'll caught her and broke her fall. She had done something to trap the invincible senior

master in mysterious bubble. This presented the perfect opportunity to escape as swiftly as possible.

Solo ran for three days without rest and arrived at the Jew mansion in Lee District. He entered the residence designated for him, and it appeared that no one had been there for the past two years. His first priority was through Cessie's senior sister's condition thoroughly. Her wild spiritual power meant even a simple energy probe impossible. His first task was to create a potion to calm her spiritual power, and then a done pill for her recovery.

Attendant John came to greet Seoul, but it was clear the alchemist was occupied.

Seoul noticed his brothers arrival and called out.

It had been a long time since they last saw each other, and he wanted to know if anything had happened in the Jew family.

Brother John revealed that the first young master had graduated from the palace, a cause for celebration in the district.

However, the second numb miss was not feeling well.

She had received a marriage proposal from a prestigious suitor.

She had reached a marriageable age but had no desire to wed.

It wasn't the right time to delve into all of that. Brother Zhang hurry to inform the young

Miss of Master Woon's return. So we'll quickly brood and administer the common potion to Machiaem.

The After Effects of Battling 2 Law of Spirit Energy alchemists and confronting a breath of the

Sun alchemists were evident. For the first time in over two years, Lady Juman's soul had crossed

paths again. He inquired about how she had been since their last meeting. Lady Juman felt like her

family had achieved a higher status, but everything remained the same. So, also wanted to understand why she had been

rejecting marriage proposals. His question was rather direct, and the lady couldn't easily provide an

answer. The implications of everything seemed to aloof soul, who saw this as an opportunity to ask to

stay for a while. Minus won wife. The mansion had always been built and maintained for him,

remaining empty until now. He also mentioned that they were being pursued. Alchemists were searching

for him and his senior sister. Lady Jubilee, that their pursuers wouldn't think to look for them in a mortal's mansion. Her unconscious senior sister had lost not only her father but also someone who cherished her deeply. Her physical injuries were severe, but her emotional moons were just as profound. As Lady Guez at Machiam, she was captivated by her beauty. She granted permission for them to stay for as long as they needed. However, so old knew they couldn't linger. He couldn't then tangle the Jew family in the Dauntless Sex Pursuit. His priority was to trust her. She couldn't realize that she had lost her attention. She couldn't realize that she could have been extremely

to see her sister as quickly as possible so they could bounce out of here. A few days past,

and Makiyam finally woke up, but her eyes were empty, seeing his senior sister awaken was a relief

until he realized what she had just gone through. He didn't know what to talk about with her anymore.

Lady Junu knew this and went to Makiyam's side, and had been three days since she saw this lady.

Lady Junu continued to talk about the weather and the affairs of the mansion's servants,

her younger brothers antics, and her older brothers rise in the world.

She brought up snacks imported from nearby countries, talking and talking, promising to come by again tomorrow. Ever since then,

her recovery was no visible and she started talking from time to time. Another four days passed and although her expression was still dark, she was almost back to her original self.

They could leave soon, but so well needed to do some things.

He looked at the constitution of everyone in the Jew mansion and found that no one had an

outstanding physique.

Even Lady Jude didn't have the potential for cultivation.

If they did, he would have taught them Chigong and parted a few done pills.

But Lady Jude didn't need to become an alchemist.

She loved her family and her life.

She wouldn't leave them to improve her level.

So we'll remind her to find her own path, but she was satisfied with what she had.

He did you and figured out that Sewell was checking up on everyone because he would be leaving for good.

Even he thought he should have done that a few years ago.

Lady Junushu wouldn't be able to hold onto him, but it was still a pity that there was nothing

she could do.

Just knowing that Sewell regretted the fact too he of her a little relief, Lady Junu led

him to a personal storage after that, since alchemists didn't have to bother with big storage

rooms like this, she wanted Sewell to take all the clothing in here into his pocket.

Contrary to other lofty immortals, Sewell often did dangerous things and ruined his clothes

after all. He promptly took all the lavish clothing and brought out a few recovery pills in return.

These pills could extend in mortal's lifespan and cure illnesses. They could use these pills however they

wanted. There was no need to feel burdened since these were ineffective for alchemists. Now that they were

bidding farewell, ladies you solemnly wished for soul to take care of himself. He fumbled the bag with her

for sure. Brother Jung's farewell was not as graceful though. He cried and cried after knowing that

soul was leaving. Since he was so sad, this master woman might have to bring out the big guns.

Three containers of sweet liquor brewed by alchemists, and alcoholic drink then proved your health.

It was decided that for tonight, the two would have their last drink before parting ways,

might came, and the time for soul and makiam to leave a come. Everything that needed to be taken

care of here had been done. His ties would districtly were over, but he felt a twinge of regret.

There was no turning back. These two must disappear from Yandho. Their destination was the

D.W. Nation. The teleportation portal of the Sioux family brought them to the southern part of the

nation in the Union province. The first thing they needed to do in this foreign land was to find

people. They needed to check out how different the people of the D.W. Nation were. It didn't take

long from to arrive at a city gate near the mountains. There was a big gate for alchemists and a small

one for morals. This was new to Seoul. For now, they couldn't pretend to be ordinary people with

makiam still injured. The guard halted them right at the door. Each person had to pay a toll fee

of 10 low-class spirit stones for entry. This guard was immediately smitten by makiam's undeniable

beauty, but duty called and he had to make them pay 20 spirit stones to enter. It was expensive,

but they had no other choice for now. The guard handed them the passes for the city. Entering the

The ambulance here is distinctly unusual. The ambulance here is distinctly unusual. The ambulance here is distinctly

unusual as alchemists and mortals coexist seamlessly. To their knowledge, a Lord governs the

world's affairs, but there's no emperor. They urgently require intelligence from fellow alchemists,

so they're formed back in one of the young servers in the tavern. He aimed to discover the

location of the largest marketplace in exchange for a low-tier spirit stone. The boy readily

informed them of marketplaces situated at the north and south gates, emphasizing the long-life

story as their best bet for comprehensive supplies. However, you also mentioned secretive trade

fairs reserved for exclusive items, accessible only by imitation. Currently, Seoul contemplates a visit to

the long-life store while Makiyam intends to remain in her room, examining the pouches taken from the

alchemists of the dauntless sex she had slain. There's a little doubt she hasn't already rifle through

them, the pain of her father's dumb eyes still lingers. As Seoul's senior sister and savior,

He feels obliged to offer his utmost support. Soul activates his remarkable disguise, assuming the appearance

of the iron-sphere-sec elder from days past. Concealing his true level and appearance appears to be a safer

course of action in this environment. The first merchant who approached and led soul to an outdoor

table, he sought domesticated ginseng, light grass, cedar, and voudambara. Herbs both rare and costly,

but this store boasted most of them in stock. Regrettably, a dumber or remains elusive. Nevertheless,

Soil doesn't flinch at the absorbent price, gladly parting with copious spirit stones.

Casually flexing his high roller money outside the store is crazy.

The merchants demeanor immediately brightens upon witnessing his wealth.

Soil takes possession of the sacred herbs,

and the merchant pledges a warmer reception for future dealings.

However, if he desires aadumbara, there's only one path available.

The forthcoming secret trade fare, while exclusive, entry is possible with a wealth exceeding 1,000 middle-class spirit stones.

Despite his ample resources from wine-tail, so he finds this arrangement suspicious. The merchant agrees to provide the events time and location without requesting anything in return.

Five days later, Soil de Vess himself with extraneous belongings, accumulating all his spirit's stones for the impending secret trade fair.

There, he is welcomed by a mysterious masked woman.

Customarily, patrons must don masks before entering the trade fair.

The rules dictate a nominal commission fee for each purchase. All items are auction, although alternatives for equal value trades of fellow alchemists are also available.

So will Liz embrace warmly at his first secret trade fair. Yet, an unsettling feeling creeps in the breath of the Sun alchemists likely frequent this gathering.

In Yongzhou, the entire power structure crumbled due to one breath of the Sun alchemists.

Now, someone wielding that same power may be participating in tonight's auction. With everyone present, the trade fair commences. First up is a low-ranked talisman. The blue jade ring imbue with spiritual energy recovery capabilities. Talismans hold a higher status than Dharma tools, a category that includes Sol's Mihuit ring from his masters. Acquiring the blue jade ring would undoubtedly be beneficial. However, Sol's primary objective remains obtaining a dambara today. The next item is on the agenda.

A dumb pill effective for law of spirit energy alchemists, a magic beast egg, and a low-class magic beast night in. Now, it's souls turn to present the essence of the shadow orchid, a concentrated essence loathed by any fiend. It's a genuine savior against the threat posed by fiends.

Soil isn't seeking spirit stones. He simply requires a piece of a dambara. However, the uniqueness of his product complicates assessing its value. There are alchemists who have never encountered a fiend. Let alone hunted one. Perhaps only higher level alchemists can truly appreciate the value of this item.

Soil's plan appears to unravel when it comes to the shadow orchid essence. However, a man at the back expresses his willingness to trade it for his dambara.

Soil rejoices, eager to finalize the deal, yet the man at the back insists on a singular condition.

You might be wondering about the mysterious condition, and Soil is pondering the same question.

It's quite simple, the masked man simply wants to discuss the origin of the shadow orchid essence,

conversing outdoors would inevitably lead to the revelation of their identities, which is a bit sus.

Soil contemplated inquiring if anyone else was interested, but no one expressed any interest, thus the matter was settled.

Following the trade fair, the two renders vows of the poachers in without their masks.

However, Saul will maintain his disguise.

The mysterious man appeared unassuming, naked undeniably concealed an overwhelming power.

Almost no one possesses knowledge of the essence's effects or its existence.

Thus, the man is curious about how Saul stumbled upon it.

Of course, Saul can choose not to divulge this information.

The man reached into his pocket, signaling the start of the transaction.

However, his version of the deal involved launching the flaming dagger directly of Sowell.

Fortunately, Sowell had prepared for potential sneak attacks.

He swiftly replicated himself into numerous identical bodies and fled the inn.

Although the man could intensify his pursuit, doing so would attract too much attention from

the Lord of U-aim province.

The man is banking on his recognition of Sowell's face, even when it's concealed by a disguise.

For the time being, things appear to be in Sowell's favor, but he is left wondering where

everything went wrong. Perhaps it all began with a merchant from earlier, who was sorely lacking

in information and too may Eve when dealing with strangers. Nonetheless, this doesn't change the fact that

the man had unembarrow with him, as Don breaks for his sudden knock at Soul's door. It's the

server boy from earlier, delivering snacks. Soul decides to glean more information from this

local. When Soul inquires about a robber who targets alchemists at a remote inn, the boy's

complexion, darkens and fear. So old notice is the shift in the boy's demeanor and presses

for further details. This robber is known as the faceless murderer, a high-level practitioner

who specifically targets foreign alchemists. Even the province's elders have been unable to

apprehend him. It appears that everyone at the trade fair was aware of this individual and wanted

to avoid unnecessary trouble. If so old wishes to learn more, he'll need to inquire within the

the Boug-Sinsect. They are the primary source of information in the province, but their services

come at a steep price. They operate as an unconventional intelligence organization, openly

conducting their business. Reverting to his disguise, soul proceeds to gather much-needed intelligence.

He doesn't beat around the bush and requests information about the faceless murderer. As he passes

through multiple doors, he senses no presence of chi. The organization's defenses are formidable.

Upon reaching the heart of the compound, a seductive voice grants soul permission to

Enter. Entering this room, he's immediately shocked as his true form is revealed in a reflection. In this room, no secrets remain hidden. The one

attending to him is a master of unique Chigong, Xiaobeng. The lord of the Kujin branch of Baoq Sinsect.

Soul goes by the name Wunmo, though he struggles against a drowsy scent permeating the room.

He must pose his question regarding the faceless murder, and Shobeng will name her Price.

So, what will be any significant parties seeking vengeance once he eliminates the faceless murderer?

The answer is that question demands five high-class spirit stones.

Without hesitation, he pays the fee, and the Lord reveals that the faceless murderer operates as a lone wolf.

For further details about the man's life, it costs him another five high-class spirit stones,

as somewhat exorbitant some. The faceless murderer gained notoriety when he reached the law of

of spirit energy a few centuries ago,

continuing his reign of terror to this day.

His cautious and meticulous in his work,

having operated for 300 years,

so was concealment of his true level,

made him an ideal target.

However, the murderer has recently grown more audacious,

deviating from his usual caution.

As for specific information about his methods,

it comes at the cost of another 10-spirit stones.

The faceless murderer wields an indistinct dagger

or employs his victim's own weapon.

Once so, we'll eliminate this individual, the Lord invites him to return to the sect.

Even as conversation they've had is just another piece of information that the cunning

shallbings will unto sell, 15 more days pass, and all of Saul's preparations are in order.

He now requires the final ingredient, the Yudambara, at any cost.

After several days of diligent work as initial preparations are complete, it has been two months

since they're arrival at this end, and the server boy has become quite familiar with him.

As for Makiyam, things have remained relatively uneventful for her.

However, aside from significant incidents, there have been one or two minor ones involving

her.

She doesn't fit the typical alchemist profile, so some individuals have dared to approach

her romantically.

An annoying master once attempted to expel Makiyam due to her mortal status, but she promptly

dismissed him with a demonstration of her spiral bomb.

Her true power is hidden behind her eyes, so she seldom emerges from her room, now concealing

her face with a black fabric. Paradoxically, this only makes her stand out even more. On another note, soul is

inquisitive about any updates concerning the faceless murderer. The boy ensures it's safe to talk and forms

him that more victims have recently perished, five to be exact. The number of casualties is

difficult to believe, including one alchemist skilled in the law of spirit energy. It aligns

with what Xiaoping mentioned. The province's residents are eager for the government to take action.

However, if that occurs, the Odomaro will fall in the hands of the authorities. He must act

swiftly before it's too late. Knight descends, and so will exits the inn. Dunning is remarkable this guy is

once more. He has been patrolling for two hours each day and finally strikes gold. The faceless murderer

is relentlessly pursuing him. So will identify the ideal location to counter-attack and deploys all his combat

Dharma tools. On the city's outskirts, only the two of them are visible. This man is driven solely by greed,

Lusting after Seoul's numerous Dharma tools and stacks of spirit stones,

he doesn't deny his intention to rob Seoul, there's no need to conceal motives.

Two months have passed to since their initial encounter, and there's no room for idle chatter.

This man is reputedly and known thief that he wields an ordinary Dharma tool.

Regardless, Seoul must exercise caution when dealing with this middle stage law of spirit energy

alchemist. He effortlessly blocks the initial twin wheel attack and counter attacks with his sword.

Three blades worth through the air, targeting the murder's head. However, they prove futile against

a formidable energy shield. His summon clones also succumb to the second phase of the twin-wheel attack.

He narrowly defends against the ferocious assault of the peculiar Dharma tool with his shield. Thus far,

souls attacks are on par with those of a heavenly birth alchemist, its child's play. However,

upon realizing souls and tensions, the faceless murderer conjures his spirit fire,

launching it in an attempt to disrupt any potential surprises. Those flames only succeed in

eliminating souls' clones. Now, with the gordon hand, he pursues the man relentlessly.

Souls focus on the chase blindsides him and he's struck in the back by a spirit fire.

His just lost his trump card, the gordon falls to the ground. The faceless murderer picks it up

and shriek. He wonders what gave soul the audacity to pursue him recklessly. The man believes

He leaves this duel merely demonstrates a difference in skill, and he intends to conclude it by killing Soul with his own weapon.

Upon opening the gourd, a malevolent dark energy is released and golfing the fool.

"Congratulations, you play yourself."

It's a lesser devil poison, a concoction soul has been crafting for the past few weeks, concealing traces and killing for pleasure has ultimately strangled the murderer.

Desperately, the man pleads for his life, offering to reveal the location of his treasures to Soul in exchange for an antidote.

However, Sewell's masters have cautioned him against believing a dying thief's last words.

Completing the job is the only correct course of action, despite any pleas.

As anticipated, the lesser devil poisoned his terrifying.

He strives to use it on people as sparingly as possible.

Regarding the loot from this kill, there are only a meter number of spirit stones and subpar

Dharma tools.

It appears he did indeed conceal his treasures.

Yet among these low-value items is a red-treasure jade, sole experiments with it, infusing it with his spiritual energy.

It promptly absorbs every trace within his system.

The jade in a completely sapped his remaining energy.

It was undoubtedly an extraordinary item, yet sole had no clue how to harness its power.

An object like this should respond to spiritual energy, but this one remained utterly undisturbed.

Using spirit stones, you'll live the same absorption effect.

Perhaps the faceless murderer had diligently fed this artifact with all of his ill-gotten gains.

As an experiment, Sewell decided to infuse it with 40 high-class spirit stones.

The energy from these precious gems dissipated swiftly.

It can take long for him to take the gamble and attempt unlock the treasure Jade's power.

It was in too deep now, determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Sewell had invested half of his entire net worth into this enigmatic object, and there

was still no response.

deciding to set this mystery aside for the moment, he turned his attention to creating

some pills for his senior sister. After gathering all the necessary ingredients he finally

concocted the healing pill for Makiyum's treatment. However, it appeared that she was out

and about for the day, which was better than staying cooped up in her room. When Soul checked

the ins lobby, he noticed an unusually large crowd. Another month had passed and Soul was

last in this place, and the server boy led him to his seat. There wasn't a single vacant

table in the shop and even some of the newcomers were complaining. All these people had come

for the rift. It had opened 30 years ago and some alchemists had their lives changed within it,

so now they were returning for more. Some claim that there were precious treasures in the

center lake of the rift, but no one dared to approach it. According to what Seoul had gathered,

this rift resembled the concentrated spirit land that regularly opened near Huyjin. Suddenly,

Every man in the vicinity fell silent, captivated by the arrival of Machiame.

Eume of her face concealed by a black fabric cover.

It had been a while since Sewell and his senior sister had seen each other.

She had surprisingly cut her hair and judging by the lovesick gazes of the men at the table,

it clearly suited her. She got that short hair effortless riz.

Machiame had been in turmoil for a while but had managed to compose herself after the haircut.

She understood the need to move forward,

No one they would eventually have to return to Janjo. Before resuming her training, she needed to recover.

To aid in that, Seville had created a special done pill to heal her internal wounds.

She appreciated the efforts of her junior and was grateful for them. However, ingesting the done pill had

unexpected effects on Machia, infusing foreign spiritual energy into her body when only worse in her condition.

She started vomiting a substantial amount of the impure blood. This was the first time she had encountered

One of this rainbow pill that Seoul had concocted. It was an esoteric pill he had learned

from his first master, crafted to the highest standards. Makiyam felt guilty from being confined

to her room while her junior brother worked tirelessly to create this done pill.

Seoul wanted to repay her for saving him in the forest of fine beauty, and Makiyam was

eager to compensate him with the spirit stone she had left. As a compromise, it decided

to use the spirit's stones to purchase new Dharma tools, recognizing that deal would nation

and presented a new set of challenges requiring upgraded equipment.

Machiaumen also heard about the rifts opening and the opportunity to obtain treasures within.

Every 30 years, a powerful wind blows over hoo-jing, opening a portal to another dimension filled

with rare sacred herbs, spirit stomans, and treasures guarded by fiends.

Alchemists from far and wide flock to participate in this expedition, as there was no overseeing

organization, making it free for all. Considering this, Sewell decided to accompany his senior sister

into the rift. With an increasing number of high-level alchemists in the streets,

Machium had been concerned, but now as she felt reassured with Sewell by her side. Before the rift

opened, Sewell had some time to prepare, and his first task was to return to the Baoq Sinsec to meet

with the cutting lord. However, on this day, there was no need for disguises. He sat comfortably on the floor

4 of the mysterious room, the child next to Lord Xiaobing was known as Beckran. Here to observe

and learn by the Lord's side. However, Saul felt a strange attraction to the young lady as if they

had met before. She attempted a mental technique to penetrate Saul's mind, but it resulted

in excruciating feedback. These women had ill intentions, and their plans had backfired. Beckran

couldn't believe how easily her evil spirit fragrance had been thwarted. Saul knew the

The girl had attempted to be witch him, so he pretended to be clueless for their

adding to her insult.

Her spiritual power was disheveled, and she needed time to recuperate.

Lord Xiaoping acted as if she were not part of the sneak attack, trying to correct the wrong

doing by sacrificing Beckran to appease Seoul.

Before the killing blow could land on the girl, he casually dismissed the matter.

It was evident that this was a coordinated attempt, and he wanted to see how it would play out.

So being tried to clean up the mess altogether but settled by ordering Beckran to leave.

Her blood smeared on the floor.

The Lord had stopped hearing news about the faceless murderer and suspected souls involvement.

However, there was no merit in confessing, so he continued to feign ignorance.

She had invited him to attain information in the first place, as their organization dealt

an information trade.

But the Baoq sin sect was more than just an information hub.

She had shared some basic information about the man out of curiosity about soul.

However, Seoul had proven himself to be genuinely powerful. He could now trade information about the fate of the faceless murderer for an answer to a question of his choosing. After some thought, he decided it wasn't worth selling and cremating information, but he only needed to reveal whether the man was alive or dead. Seoul then disclosed that the man's body was buried in the northern rice field of hoojang without implicating himself. It was now his turn to ask a question. Her shiftingist still bothered him, but he believed there was nothing to lose.

He wanted to find a way to reach the young non-mation. For the first time in her long career, she didn't have the answer or even knowledge of such a nation. It seemed even the owner of a renowned intelligence association couldn't assist with his masters revenge.

Xiaobeng, however, was too proud to let it go. She promised to find information about the country no matter what, though, soul had little to no faith in her.

Infuriated, the Lord attempted to change the subject to the upcoming rift. However, it appeared the Baoq sin sect wouldn't be sending their people into the rift, since she couldn't fulfill her end of the bargain. She offered a tidbit of useful information to even the scales.

After the meeting, so will left the room to breathe some fresh air and rest. Reflecting on what he had heard from the Lord, he noticed the mischievous girl from earlier, Beckran.

Grand. She politely bowed her head and greeted her without hostility. This place truly was full of

stranger currencies beyond his comprehension. For now, he had one more task to complete before the rift.

It was time to bring out the big guns, the legendary eternal youth done pill. He returned to the secret

trade fair to sell one of his prized creations to fund his treasure jade research. The man put his heart

into the sales pitch, capturing the intrigue and emotions of everyone in the hall. Some alchemists

This would gladly give up their wealth if this pill proved to be genuine.

However, the sudden emergence of this legendary pill was almost too unbelievable.

In that case, the management decided to verify the pill's authenticity while the auction for

high-tier treasures continued as usual.

A masked old man took the pill, and after a few moments, you're turned, holding the eternal

youth done pill in his hands.

As expected, the verdict was that this pill was indeed the real deal.

The intense bidding war for the miracle pill immediately erupted, with people gladly offering

their entire net worth to obtain it.

Soil had no clue that these alchemists would go absolutely wild for his eternal youth

done pill.

The top offer had already reached 70 highest grade spirit stones.

That was until someone raised the price to one special grade spirit stone, each worth 100

highest grade stones.

Then it climbed to 2 and then 2.7.

One of the patrons silenced everyone with five special-grade spirit stones.

This was more than what Soul had made in his entire life.

However, spending this much on the mysterious Jade made him hesitant.

He started to think that the treasure Jade might just be a revenge prank left by the faceless

murder.

He decided to save the special-grade stones for now, but as he sank more of his wealth

into this endeavor, his hope to end up.

It was a monstrous item that drained everything valuable from his pockets.

A single special grade stone should be enough to change the life of an ordinary alchemist, but he was too invested to back out now.

Any same person would consider this a foolish experiment, but something this precious should yield results.

The jaguar had been merely worn the other day, but it had become scorching hot today.

He was now five special grade stones deep, with nothing else in the bank.

You'd only hope that this was the one.

The treasure jade flew towards him.

It seemed like something big was finally happening.

The JB end to melt completely, revealing a single golden done pill.

He had no clue what it did.

To find out, it was time to bring out his tiny helper again.

The Mommonser pouch came one one with his sharp senses for treasures.

The best character of the series is finally back.

The fragrance tracer felines stopped in his tracks when he got a whiff of the golden pill.

One one suddenly pounced on soul, desperately trying to steal a precious pill from his grasp.

He would turn him into cat stews, a little guy tried to eat it.

Besides the pill itself, the cat wanted to eat the crumbs from the dissolution.

After a while, there was still no change in one when after eating the tiny fragments.

He just seemed to be in a good mood.

Just as soul was wondering what was wrong, the fragrance traits are feline, started to struggle

with controlling his strength.

He turned feral for a second and evolved into a different form right after.

Soul finally had some idea of what this pill was.

He had only heard of it once and even his first master did not have the recipe.

He tried to lower his expectations before trying out.

Since one one was fine, nothing bad should happen to him as he ate the pill.

He lost consciousness for an unknown amount of time and woke up to one one's licks.

His senior sister was also by his side now.

While she was practicing Chigong, she felt a bizarre energy coming from Seoul's room and checked.

She decided to guard him in a place full of alchemists.

Right now, he didn't feel any noticeable change.

The pill had turned into pure energy flowing into his night-end.

He thought he would become overwhelmingly powerful right away, but there was definitely some

special change inside him.

His magic barrier had transformed into a different form.

Now he was certain that it was the mythical golden elixir, it didn't increase his spiritual

power, but it matured his night in.

His power was refined and consumption had been halved.

With his high consumption combat style, this upgrade was a godsend.

He was so pleased that he forgot to speak, but Machia knew that something incredibly good

had just happened.

For the first time in a while, he invited his senior sister for a quick spar.

She got not to take it easy on him today.

The long-awaited powerful win finally blew over Huijing.

This was the sign that the riff could be opening soon.

Both soul and his senior sister should be all set for the expedition, but the words of

Xiaobeng weighed on him.

The riff opened every 30 years, but the real treasure only appeared on the riff lake every

300 years, and this year happened to be that much awaited opening.

The baoq sin sect didn't send their own people. Instead, they gathered outside alchemists for events like this.

Knowing how capable soul was, having him represent the baoq sin sect would be a unique edge against the competitors who knew the treasures existence.

Xiaobeim proposed to buy the treasures that he would obtain inside the rift for a fair price.

She brought up some good points, but Xiaobeim had no intention of accepting.

This woman was untrustworthy to the extreme, but before heading out, he wanted to buy some information regarding the layout

inside the rift. That piece of info is very valuable. If you chose to make a deal with the Lord,

you could get every piece of intel that the sect knew about the rift. Three days had passed since

that day and he was firm in his belief that the information wasn't worth making the deal with the

devil. Along with countless hopeful alchemists, Sowell and Machiaem finally arrived at the famous

rift. Right now, he could only trust his senior sister and his own skills. Someone fortunate,

weaker alchemists can even approach due to the strong winds. Just as the duo prepared to accelerate

their entry, an authoritative voice commanded everyone to clear the way. It's the imposing windmill

carriage of the mountain willow manner. Judging by the fear in the crowd, they seem to be a notorious

family. The four red heavenly wind horses are a display of their strength, so it can't help but

wonder about the person inside the carriage. Regardless of who it is, the duo's main priority is to

gain entry, as expected. They were separated from Machium as they entered and planned to meet at

the central lake as soon as possible. The exit will open in one to three months, and they must

make the most of it. There's Mummy to Hurry, so Heat in one when can thoroughly scout the area.

Soul since no immediate threats into the city, allowing them to explore the land.

One one has been more enthusiastic and obedient since consuming the golden-done pill crumbs.

The master and pet do a joyfully journey through the land, collecting rare treasures along the way.

In just two days, they had already amassed a decent hall. The either fragrance tracing feline danced around a unique

plant, a rare kernel of ginseng. So I'll notice that the soil around it was still moist and using a bit of spiritual

energy revealed a hidden cavern. The entrance was quite narrow, with water seeping through the cracks

in the walls. The cave expanded to reveal a concealed water reservoir. Since the cave and reservoir

more appeared undisturbed. There might be valuable fines here. Sowell activated his golden barrier

and plunged into the depths. At the bottom, green lights resembling stars came into view. To his

surprise, these lights were approaching rapidly. They were ferocious green lightfish. They

shouldn't pose a problem, so Sowell decided to observe them first. These creatures were hostile

and their light beams couldn't penetrate his barrier. But dealing with this many underwater

could be tricky. Fortunately, thanks to the golden elixir, he wasn't struggling

the spirit energy consumption. The ably fish were relentless, and so will work within the limited

space of his barrier, utilizing his Dharma tools. Under the bar edge of beams, the strain

on the barrier increased. One beam managed to breach the barrier, but the creatures hesitated

to follow up. All they saw was an irritated man who had been hit by a feeble attack. There

was no point in prolonging this, so he instantly dispatched every fish in the vicinity. The

The loot this time was quite satisfying as well.

However, Sowell noticed that the corpses of the green lightfish were disappearing as if being sucked into another location.

It was possible that there was a rift within this rift, even the unusual space.

He conducted an experiment by tossing a dagger into the water and confirmed the presence of another dimension.

He knew we had to investigate this further.

Sowell entered a portal in the depths of the water.

In this peculiar space within a space, one wand showed low reaction.

Only ordinary plants and terrain were visible.

But so well had a hunch that was more to discover.

It didn't take long for him to find precious Scarlet Lycan,

which you could use to create potent protection elixirs.

As he gathered his loot, a sudden presence alerted soul

to prepare for combat.

To get surprised, it turned out to be an old,

decrepit alchemist, voraciously consuming the Scarlet Lycan.

This was a truly bizarre turn of events, even for so well.

That's either a homeless guy or a secret master.

This elderly man kept munching on the Lycan,

making strange sounds until he was disturbed by a drip of water. So old didn't know what the

right move was in this situation. The man might be in a situation similar to Guengo Dewan's back

in the lone spirit land. So for now, he wanted to approach the guy first. Soil and the old man

locked eyes, both evidently wary of each other's presence. He asked why the elder had such a

pain expression on his face. This man is an alchemist, and he doesn't care about Soil. This man is

eating and no one will stop him. So we'll try to approach and offer to treat the elder, only to be met with

unintelligible noises. The old man might have suffered severe psychological shock, leading to him

acting like a wounded beast. So we'll try to gently approach once again with some medicine in his hands.

The elder is terrified, but you want to help with at least the visible injuries. So we'll treat

the wounds on the man's arms and hands, and he'll have to move on to the rest of the body now.

Injuries and minor wounds were no match against his medicine, the pain the elder was experiencing

slowly subsided. The two spent a few minutes in the cave with absolute silence while soul

healed the elder. Four days had passed since then, he even made some duderop elixir for the

man's mental condition. But there are no signs of improvement. He just can't leave an old man with

such a sad and desperate face after all. For the first time in a while, this mysterious man spoke

some coherent words. He repeatedly yelled something about opening the chest that turned into stone.

He's mortified about some evil spirit that has been chasing after him.

The old man is absolutely terrified and panicking about a mysterious evil spirit haunting him.

Going out of the rift is out of the question, he rather stay in this cave and eat moss the

whole time.

He finally had enough mental clarity to introduce himself as Chinongso from the Yefamlavianan.

That shouldn't be far from hoejing, so finding the man's family shouldn't be a problem.

As for why he kept insisting that he shouldn't leave this place, he believes that he's possessed

by the evil spirit.

Still tried to reassure him that everything would be fine that he's just in shock after being

locked up for so long.

But it's not that easy to convince a crazy old man believing that he's possessed.

Suddenly, the man reached into his clothing, and so old jumped back and frightened, thinking

that an attack was coming.

It was just a gold talisman, though.

Collins so thanks so for giving back his sanity, but all the evil spirit business is true.

He tasked a toll to take the golden tag back to his family with the news of his condition,

along with a final warning not to be tempted by the chest that turned into stone.

He then rummaged through his clothing again and offered a small bag of spirits stones to soul,

which he rejected.

Now that chunks have had a sanity back, it's time to stop the evil spirit within him at once.

He walked a few steps out and ended the curse.

It's a terrible death and soul can only collect the ashes to deliver to the bereaved.

The only surviving artifact in the man's possession was a mysterious bracelet.

A week has passed since he set foot inside this rift.

He still will decide to head for the center of the lake immediately.

He can't keep his senior sister waiting in this turbulent place.

Only God knows what awaits him in the center area of this mysterious space.

Upon landing in the hot and humid central region, he immediately found himself drenched in sweat.

It had taken him five days of travel to reach this place, locating Machiaom in this vast

coastal area would prove to be challenging.

In retrospect, their decision to gather in this region seemed ill-conceived.

They had underestimated its sheer size.

However, one one's remarkable sense of smell might remedy this situation.

If one were to inquire whether the cat remembered the scent of the enticing senior sister,

it wouldn't enthusiastically confirm and it did.

It would commence their search along the coastline.

The expanse of this lake resembled more of an ocean, and Seoul was eager to try their luck

in finding the valuable treasure with Machiam.

The cat finally detected something in a dense forest not far ahead.

There was an energy within that could belong to a senior sister.

The 40 could even land as flying sword, one one had already lived down eagerly.

Machiam possessed the unusual ability to conceal her level, leaving him to trust solely in his pet's instincts.

And just like that, he finally spotted Machiam.

But in front of her stood a familiar figure, the window carriage from the mountain willow manner at the riff entrance.

He landed right beside his senior sister, sensing something suspicious.

They exchanged greetings while the bearded man next to the carriage assessed their strength aloud.

At the attempt to leave the area, the bearded man intervened. He wasn't harming soul and mochaeum, but he was

actively blocking their path, seemingly awaiting further orders from inside the carriage. For now,

soul decided to cooperate and ask the person inside to state their intentions.

A delicate hand opened the door, revealing a strong, old woman. We pay off of the mountain willow manner.

Judging by the fact that soul couldn't discern her level, it was likely that this woman was at the

breath of the sun level. The duo introduced themselves respectfully. We pay Oct didn't seem interested

in engaging in idle conversation with them. She insisted that mere banter wouldn't grant them

access to the lake. The determined woman delivered an extensive lecture on how they wouldn't

survive the lake and its treasure competition at their current level. To resolve this, she suggested

that the two of them accompany her on the journey instead. We pay Oct appeared to be rather self-centered,

rejecting her outright might lead to unfavorable consequences. So we'll try to provide a

tactful reason for declining her invitation, putting his pride on the line. We pay

Ogden to take this excuse well, Sowell's words painted her as overly greedy. Consequently,

she offered them a fair share of the treasures, with she and no one selecting first. Joining

her would certainly increase their chances of survival, but her trustworthiness remained

shaky. The problem would arise when it came to dividing the treasures in the end. With

mockyum's abilities and his lesser devil poisoned, they stood a decent chance of survival

regardless. We pay off notice, so will Wayne the pros and cons in his mind. So she made the decisions

simple for them. If they didn't join forces with her, they could bid farewell to their lives

right then and then there. Left with no other choice, they reluctantly entered a shaky alliance

under the authoritative breath of the sun expert to explore the lake. The entire carriage was

enveloped in a magical barrier, leading them underwater as Machiaem and Soil followed. Soil contemplated

this, but that would only anger we pay up, whose formidable strength was evident in the

massive barrier. They were descending without hesitation, knowing precisely what they were doing

and where they were headed. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that no one was reading something

from an artifact, a peculiar compass. Its operation remained a mystery, but if it could guide

them to the treasure, it must be an extraordinary tool. Even the surrounding alchemists stared

not interfere as soon as they saw the windmill carriage. This raised questions about why the

powerful wee pale could chosen to include the duo on her team. There was a possibility that these

alchemists were representatives invited by Xiaobeng to represent the Baoq Sin sect, maintaining the

pace and barrier in the water required considerable energy, and half a day had passed with no end in

sight. Despite the darkness surrounding them, the carriage suddenly accelerated. Before them lay

something unexpected in an underwater setting, a massive palace shielded by an even larger barrier.

This was the location indicated by the sacred needle of the compass. A strong spiritual energy

emanated from the mysterious palace, possibly the coveted treasure. We payock,

exited her comfortable carriage once more, it was time for the true expedition. The palace was

completely sealed off from the water, allowing them to enter and search every room for treasures.

Everyone shows an area to investigate and plunder. So we'll found some documents.

Makiyaum discovered containers, and even no one stumbled upon a peculiar looking chest.

I'll be at empty. We pay off, however, remain determined not to leave empty handed.

Soul had actually thought that he would be able to coast easily after getting stronger,

but he's only encountered unhinged people so far. Getting away from the domineering woman

is in must, but he has no method to do so. He doesn't even over skills, so the risk is just too big.

They went through countless containers and boxes in the palace with nothing to show for it.

We pay off is getting increasingly frustrated by the second. They should be the ones who discover

the 300 year treasure and they're dating up nothing. She decided to give up on this building to use the sacred meal to find

other infrastructures and the needle didn't disappoint in pointing them to another pavilion. It's smaller than the palace, but there are still no eye-catching

chests in here. If they you find a treasure, this woman would probably make every excuse to keep it for herself. Or she can just kill

them outright. If it proved to be useless, the latter case is quite likely. They turned this pavilion upside down

that any results at all. Inside the spirit energy-rich place, the sacred needle started pointing somewhere else.

All of them have arrived at the very last room of the mysterious place. The needle is precisely pointing to

this room, so a bit of floor remodeling might be necessary to uncover its secrets. No wall unleashed his

whipped Dharma tool and aimed it at the center floor of the final room. It seems like, as much as she's

ill-tempered, this woman is still an experienced alchemist. The hole in the floor lit up and everyone

activated their barriers. The time for them to go in has come, but just to play it safe. We pay

off ordered the duo to go in first just to test the waters. So old reason that there's no reason

for that as he volunteers to go in by himself. He jumped down into the blinding light of the hole.

The other side of the pavilion was riddled with building ruins everywhere, but there is one building

left standing with an imposing presence. It was a massive compound of grand structures that resembled

gold. All is well on the other side of the light, so everyone decided to follow Seoul. From anger into disbelief and then a

massive hit of optimistic euphoria has hit the overbearing woman, believing that she'll finally get the

three-century treasure. She could not waste any second and rushed in. Seoul kept a cool head while

observing the mountain willow man or people. At the forefront of the compound is likely a main hall.

As her party was advancing, we pay off shift into her vigilant mode after sensing something.

Abirah's attacks followed suit, but she's capable of deflecting those. We pay off thought she

blocked everything but got hit by one of the attacks through sheer power. She brought out the divine

fire, cudgel, and response. The flames from that precious tool can be seen being blocked by some

strangers' hand. It was an old man with his younger cronies. This man is known as Elder Pion.

It seems like it's widely known that her carriage is attendant. No one is her lover,

But Machiam and Sol are strangers to everyone else. She intends to protect her pride against those words,

enforcing that the duo are kids that she brought from her manner. Finding the legendary treasure would

truly depend on these two breath of the sun alchemists. This old man from the Paion family is quite persistent

in cunning, following them all the way to the pavilion. He's just up there in the air, chilling and chatting

instead of attacking. The tensions are running high, and when these two figures butt heads, any law of

The spirit energy alchemists will be rendered useless.

Pion family's old man tried to defuse the situation by proposing an equal division of any treasure

found.

It's so obvious that there's no sincerity in those words.

Of course, we pay oxes that, and she's pissed with all the babbling.

It turns out that the massive compound of grand structures is protected by powerful barriers.

There's no way for either party to get into that place alone.

She tested if the barrier really exists, and it seems like the really are stuck here.

Old Man Pion continued to try and sweet-talk men and we into a collaboration.

He just wants a piece of the treasure pie.

Just the presence of this man alone is already an omen that things wouldn't go smoothly.

If they do work together to tear down this obstacle together, what happens after that shouldn't

be more complicated?

You could hear the dishonesty on the old man's boss while proposing an equal treasure distribution.

They have no other choice but to join hands for now.

Man, treasures make people go crazy.

In the combined force of everyone, the two parties successfully infiltrated the golden buildings.

Inside were numerous statues, censors, and chests, offering plenty to explore.

The formidable barrier, which remained remarkably strong and only showed slight cracks under their

combined effort, undoubtedly guarded something priceless.

Madame Wei found herself in a loss, attempting to devise a plan to claim all the treasures

for herself.

This situation was complicated since both experts were on a relatively equal footing.

It turned out that Elder Pyon had been chosen as a replacement for soul by the Lord of the Baoq Sinsect.

They continued their pretense of cooperation while searching for treasures to pilfer.

A few moments later, they had gathered a considerable number of items, enough to bring happiness

to all when divided equally.

However, this world was one driven by greed, where the strong often claimed everything,

amidst the piles of treasure.

One particular box stood out to everyone.

It was the chest that had turned into stone, the one Elder Cheetong so had vehemently warned them about.

Tensions ran high as they needed to inspect each individual treasure meticulously to maintain their deception.

Solo was tasked as their sides representative to evaluate the treasures and determine their value.

It began on opposite sides and Elder Pyeong soon discovered a rare abominable stone.

It was a prime material for crafting and enhancing garment tools.

The Elder insisted on keeping it while eagerly anticipating more discoveries.

One of his followers approached him with a cursed chest, curious about its impenetrable lock.

The more secure a treasure, the higher the chance it held something extraordinary,

and both experts were salivating greed. Out of all the valuable chests in the place,

this was the only one that remained locked. It was sealed not solely due to its value,

but because it concealed something within. The two experts cooperated to open the chest slowly,

it rattled, and an enormous surge of energy emerged. They had unwittingly released a malevolent

force they should never have discovered. Its sinister aura was palpable and upon closer inspection,

the presence took on the form of a menacing spirit with a fearsome physical manifestation.

This was an elementary spirit, an apparition from a high level alchemist. They needed to handle it

with the utmost care to avoid possession. Given the quantity and intensity of the spirit's energy,

this would prove extremely challenging. The spirit bellowed with laughter that nearly shattered

everyone's ear drums. It was a laughter that could shake anyone's soul and drive them into madness. This

was precisely why Elder Chionzo had chosen to end his life rather than risk the spirit's resurgence.

But so will have an impenetrable mental shield in the form of the chant of black ice.

In general, there were no effective Dharma tools, talismans or techniques to subdue this spirit.

Elder Plion had nothing, and when the experts were helpless, everyone was helpless.

So, we'll decide to take the stone chest, hoping it might have some utility and contain

them level in spirit.

However, the presence had already begun its possession spree.

One of the followers was completely overtaken by the spirit, but the elementary spirit

was unsatisfied with only a vessel of a law of spirit energy alchemist, and gratitude for

their greed, it sought to reward them with death.

Even the breath of a sun expert would be ineffective in this situation, disposing of the

The two experts valued their lives more than wealth.

Soul and Machia made the same decision in the end to retreat. However, the Golden building seemed determined to keep them inside after they had forced their way in.

They had to find a way to break out or confront the elementary spirit.

Metamui could only hope that her divine fire-cudger would be effective against this enemy.

But it was to no avail. An apparition from a high level alchemist was simply on a different level.

They got no defense, no offense, no drip, no hose, and now they're going to get sucked dry.

Elder Pion, foolishly, stood his ground and unshived his cherished blade. In an instant, his weapon disintegrated mercilessly, turning it to dust.

Fighting back by expanding spiritual energy was futile at this point, but so will knew there was a glimmer of hope, the madmen each and also had managed to escape the same pregnant.

Finally, Elder Pion's succumbed to possession. The elementary spirit, like a child in a candy store, sought more alchemists ripe for absorption.

Bored with the feudal resistance, the apparition from a high level alchemist yearned for something interesting.

And that's something might just be so old. So please like and subscribe to witness some spirit humiliation in the next part.

As a malevolent spirit prepared to go on a rampage for its own amusement, the prideful we pay a humbly knelt and introduce herself respectfully to the higher power.

She offered her mountain willow manner's services, aiming to help the spirit adapt to modern times. The spirit, recognizing her significance,

Pause to consider her proposal. Madam Wee's husband had achieved the level of the breath of the Sun in less than 300 years.

She believed that allowing the malevolent spirit to possess her husband's body might accelerate her own slow progress.

However, even for a malevolent spirit, this woman's audacity was too insulant.

"Se even though it's such a dream!"

Instead of agreeing, the spirit's scorner manor's name and vowed to visit the organization, killing and draining every alchemist in sight.

But first, it sought to feast upon these greedy individuals.

Madam's lover, no one was the first to fall lifeless to the floor. Everyone had succumbed except for soul,

mock yum, and medam wee. Although the duo might have been severely under leveled,

they refused to give up without a fight. As the spirit's transformation reached its peak,

it promised not to take the lives of the remaining three. But on we believe this to be an act of mercy,

but the truth was different. The spirit intended to leave one man alive,

So, to serve as its future vessel, soul, not yet 100 years old and already at the Law of Spirit

Energy. Possessed decent potential in a long lifespan, perfect for the Spirit's purposes.

This situation was insane, but soul saw an opportunity, especially since he had the stone chest.

As for the two women, they would serve as energy sources once the Spirit had taken over soul.

A Spirit reveled in its malevolence, toying with their lives, it promptly leaped into soul,

who had no choice but to proceed with the plan involving the stone chest. However, Sol first created

some distance with a swift step to the side. It challenged the spirit eagerly accepted.

Just as another charge dangerously neared Sol, he unveiled the stone chest.

The ceiling power of this tool was extraordinary, but unfortunately, the spirit managed to retreat

just in time. Nevertheless, Sol was relentless. He hurled the seal like a bee's sting. The chest

began consuming the freshly replenished eel spirit. To be safe, Seoul cast his own inner

binding seal. After spending 1,000 years inside this empty prison, the apparition would do anything

to avoid returning. To end this madness, he had to close the box at any cost. However,

Seoul's limited power was waning and the spirit knew it. The threads of the inner binding seal

started to loosen until they suddenly gained a power boost. Senior sister came to the rescue,

Asisting and closing the chest, she possessed more raw spiritual energy than soul. Despite the spirit's desperate pleas for help,

madam we, no matter how greedy she was, knew better than to trust such a malevolent entity. The spirit continued its pleas,

even cursing its own soul, but it was too late. His high level alchemist had humiliated himself before

being sealed once again. The hardest part was over, but the complete seal was barely finished.

Medamui had endured much in her long life, but this was the most terrible ordeal she had ever faced.

Her lover lay lifeless, and the least she could do was wrap him in silk and arrange a funeral outside.

She recognized that Seoul had saved all their lives,

that she also held him responsible for not using the stone chest earlier, before no one's pointless death.

She wished to seek compensation from Seoul for his delayed actions,

but she found herself in an advantageous position as the potential sole owner of every treasure in this

place. Therefore, her terms were clear. Soul would not touch a single spirit stone in this vast treasure

hall. He agreed, but that did not mean Maki Yam would be denied their fair share of the treasure.

However, Madam we had no reason to spare these two individuals. She can return home wealthy and with her

reputation intact. Therefore, she decided that dead men told no tales. Just when you thought it was over,

this unpredictable figure brings yet another disaster. Soul attempted to appeal to her remaining

in humanity, but madam we refuse to heed any advice from those she considered weaker. The initial attack was

effectively blocked by his defensive dharma tool. Maki and refused to stand idly by as her junior suffered,

launching two spiral bombs toward the evaricious madam. However, the disparity and power between them

was glaring. This resentful woman felt insulted and vowed to inflict a painful demise upon them,

at present both of them are holding up, but the worst is yet to come. So what was clearly fatigued from

from the earlier term well. Madame Wii intends to wear him down further while focusing on eliminating

Machiam first. In a matter of moments, his senior sister had already sustained severe injuries

across her body. She held her own against the divine fire cudgel, while so it was forced to

continually defend with his shield. There was no opportunity to employ the lesser devil poison,

and Machiam's transformation was out of the question. However, there remained one last, seemingly

the only answer to Madame Lee's greed. While she reveled in torturing the two juniors, so unexpectedly launched a blitz charge, holding the Madame's greatest fear in his hands, the stone chest. Contained within this seal was an exceedingly angry and frustrated spirit that had nearly achieved its goals. They had barely begun to comprehend the unfolding situation when the seal on the chest started to break. The first sight that greeted the apparition was the woman who had forsaken him. Few hold grudges as tenaciously as a scorn evil. The man who had found the

taken him. Few hold grudges as tenaciously as a scorn evil spirit. So will realize this might

have been a questionable decision, but he had no other recourse. Midam Lee was now lifeless

and drained. Leaving him to confront even greater menace. The apparition had learned from its

past mistakes and was determined not to fall for another surprise sealant technique. However,

the two remain undaunted by its presence. The stone chest served as a tumble for greed, of

obscuring anyone's vision. Yet, given the immense strength of this elementary spirit, it held no regard for these two, who were mere specks of dust him. The spirit proposed a deal, at least the box, and they could depart peacefully. Such a compromise was impossible. They had no choice but to engage in another round, using the stone chest to defy the odds.

With that decision, the spirit absorbed the spiritual power from the treasure pile, a regrettable

waste of precious artifacts. Within moments, it became clear that the creature was now much faster

than before. Time to re-zealing would prove challenging, but surrendering was not an option.

Solar remained resolute, activating the power of absorption once more. However, the apparition

wouldn't be to see the second time. It simply hurled a rock at soul's hand, causing the box

with this opening. Season control of his vulnerable body should be a breeze, just as the powerful spirit was about to claim its new vessel. So was Bracelet began to react. It's brilliance radiated throughout the area. This was the last artifact that the enigmatic Yichunong so had in his possession. A crystal protection amulet, an item of spirit had a harrowing encounter centuries ago. Only six crystals out of eight were activated, as Yichunong so had used it for his own protection back then. Machiaem intended to see this opportunity to be a little bit of an adventure. So it was a good time to try to make a

In the meantime, consuming souls remaining precious paddle elixirs for replenishment was the plan. Unfortunately, his remaining spiritual energy could only activate two crystals. Perhaps he had forgotten that Machium was a natural reserve war of pure spiritual energy. Together, they seemed to activate all the crystals. The tables turned, and the weakening spirit was now contained in this area. The

This would be their final opportunity to end this protracted battle once and for all. Seoul rushed as fast as he could toward the weakened elementary spirit, making one last desperate struggle for survival. In response, the apparition unleashed a deadly red skull smoke wreaking of death. Spirits are doing vape tricks now, huh? Seoul's spiritual energy shouldn't be meager, and he remained paralyzed in front of the ominous skull. Makiya attempted to show him that it was an

She added him to see cover, but her words fell on deaf ears.

She had no choice but to leap in, creating a protective barrier amidst the encroaching smoke.

However, her energy shield quickly deteriorated and shifted its focus to the defenseless

soul.

The specter of Deathlude, rendering him motionless.

His senior sister, turning to see the impending danger, remembered the man who had made her

who she was today.

He hadn't abandoned her during his burserk state, staying with her until the very end.

She retreated her with kindness and patience, ultimately seeing her life. Just as Sewell hadn't given up on her, she refused to give up on him.

Akhyam's power surged as she began her transformation. This time was different from the past,

her motivation was fueled by the desire to save Sowell. Simultaneously, the elementary spirit

began to comprehend the gravity of the situation. Such power was only attainable by celestial

beings. If the skull could overpower the duo, the spirit would emerge victorious. Sowell slowly

regained his strength, but the skull persisted in its advance. Just as Makyam reached her limits,

will finally manage to shake off the skull's influence. This was their only chance to permanently

seal the weakened elementary spirit. The almighty spirit had been reduced to a helpless apparition,

desperately fleeing from the chest. It was weakened to the point where soul could easily catch up.

With no other option, the spirit made one last desperate attempt to possess soul's body.

However, this proved to be a foolish decision as it once again fell victim to the chest's

suction. The lengthy battle in the palace had finally come to an end with the apparition sealed away.

So, I'll even use an advanced grade talisman for added assurance.

Makiyam didn't appear to be severely injured, just drained from harnessing her celestial powers,

so much it transpired in such a short time that Seoul felt as if he were dreaming.

A firm pinch on his cheek confirmed that it was indeed real.

Finally, they had a moment to catch their breath and express themselves freely after enduring

such hardships.

As Seoul looked at his senior sister, it couldn't help but blush slightly.

It took them half a day to recover, but dividing the treasure in the room would likely take even longer.

After splitting the loot evenly, only a few items remained.

The abominable stone, the divine fire cudgel, two talismans, and the sacred meal.

They also had the full set of men and wees carriage.

One talisman was for spiritual energy recovery, and the other was for defense.

Makia Maury, the dividing treasures, could strain their relationship, but so will generously

offer her the defensive talisman, the silk jade belt of the south.

She chose the abominable stone to enhance his existing tools. With trust in one another, they easily

divided the rest of the treasures. The broiling shadow ring meant for spiritual energy recovery

went to soul, while the divine fire cudgel was bestowed upon his senior sister. This tool was

an excellent match for her abundant raw spiritual energy. Madam weezed treasures were

challenging to display publicly, but they were invaluable. Machiaun took all the supreme

great amulet loot and divided it equally, believing they might need it in the future. After

some time, so I'll completed everything on his to-do list, even crafting dumb pills from the sacred herbs. All that

remained was using the Abominable Stone. Surviving the ordeal, thanks for his encounter with each

young soul. Soil felt compelled to do right by him and deliver the old man's ashes to his family.

First, they would visit the Yee family in Yannen, followed by enhancing his Dharma tools.

Back at the end they had stayed in, the server boy greeted soul enthusiastically. Rumors

As a matter we and Elder Pion's disappearance were circulating if they hadn't emerged from

the rift.

The issue lay in the fact that some people had witnessed soul and mochaeum entering the

lake with a windmill carriage.

Soul sought information about the E-family, but the server boy was clueless.

After inquiring further, even the adults in the vicinity had no knowledge of the E-family.

However, the boy had an idea that might be of assistance.

He quickly brought an elder who seemed to possess some relevant information.

The road should have just used Google.

It had been quite some time since anyone in the region had heard of the E family name.

The E family had once been the most distinguished clan in Yannen.

They were recognized by the mark of the Regalit Phoenix on their shoulders, a symbol that

commanded respect and envy, even from the elder.

The Regalit Phoenix was a sacred beast with the power to repel evil energy.

Much like the protective crystal bracelet that had saved them, 300 years ago, when the

alchemists failed to return from the rift, their families began to decline without their

leaders.

Another new that the once glorious Yi family had been forced out of the Annan region.

Some speculated that they had retreated to the Linsong region, but this was mere conjecture.

At least, Seoul had some clues about his next destination.

In the prosperous Linsong region, a martial competition was underway.

Today marked the day a particular family would choose a suitor through this contest.

The host, Yidamiong, explained the rules.

Any man who could prove his skills would have the chance to marry the beautiful Yi Moon Bee.

She was renowned for her beauty, a name that had reached the ears of every young, passionate

man.

Among the competitors stood sole, eager to participate.

Today, the suitors wouldn't compete directly for Moomi's hand.

Instead, the winner would be determined through the contest itself.

The competitors would fight among themselves, and the sole victor would earn the right to

marry her.

Soul had witnessed numerous life-threatening battles, but a competition for marriage was a

first.

The first contestant, not interested in movie's hand,

was there to scout for his young master.

With confidence stemming from his middle stage

of heavenly birth, he appeared strong in young men.

As more challengers stepped forward,

it became evident that he was indeed about average.

So we'll found the martial competition

surprisingly enjoyable to watch.

However, the decline of the Yi family,

despite their reputation for puree,

remained a surprising turn of events.

Typically, student competitions were held

between a woman and a prospective groom

She had acknowledged. But in Moombi's case, it felt more like she was being auctioned to a high level alchemist. Amidst the bustling crowd, a confident laugh and the words of a young man echoed. He was known as One Hill John, the third noble son of the one family, a later stage heavenly birth alchemist from Yomans' most prestigious family.

Moombi had a reservations, but she recognized that marrying the young master might be the best course. Seeing no challengers for One Hill John, the host contemplated ending the competition early.

Early. However, an unexpected twist occurred when a weather, old man jumped onto the stage to announce his participation. A

way of apprehension swept through the crowd, even souls sensed that something was a miss.

Mirrors about this old man, Machulji, who had mastered the law of spirit energy, began to spread.

He was infamous for having dozens of concubines but never marrying. At 300 year old man, competing to marry a young woman was considered deeply disgraceful.

Manchioji was notorious for discarding concubines like trash once he was done with them.

One Hiojean attempted to reason with the old man, but Manchioji remained shamelessly

unbothered.

He openly declared his intention to take Moomi and do as he pleased after winning the fight.

Despite trying to maintain civility, one Hiojean realized that conversation was futile and

chose to engage in combat.

Moomi's beauty had captivated him since he first glimpsed for smile on the streets.

He couldn't allow such an unscrupulous old man to possess Lady Yee.

However, one hero Jones chances of victory appeared slim to none.

He sealed himself, prepared to use all his amulets if necessary.

Despite Ma, she will use unimpressive appearance and arrogant demeanor.

He proved to be a formidable opponent.

One hero Jones wants a full-powered attack with his amulets, but it was effortlessly blocked

by a mud wall.

Even with all his might, he couldn't make a scratch.

Ma Chioldji retaliated mercilessly, landing a devastating blow in young master. Ma Chioldji's

arrogance knew no bounds as he challenged any other potential challengers. Lady's distress

was visible, and the old man's lecherous intentions were clear. He planned to treat her in the

most perverse ways as his concubine. However, just as the crowd clamored, someone unexpectedly

stepped onto the stage to face the fearsome old man. It was none of an insult wearing a casual

smile on his face, he's just doing side quests at this point. Now he's about to confront the elderly man. Naturally,

Mod shield you would criticize him for his youth, but a closer look reveals that the competitors are even

matched. The old purve decided to take the cautious route attempting to dissuade soul from participating

in the contest. There should be no rule preventing anyone from entering this competition.

Even the host allowed the challenge to proceed, so he'll be a stranger to the E family,

but he's likely better than the old purve the bad reputation. Machioology is now in a sour

moon realizing he must fight seriously. Both competitors retrieve their dharma tools, preparing to

begin. Even the audience simply wants the young alchemist to defeat the old purve. So, we'll

can't use destructive sword arts in front of so many people, so if his second choice is spiral bombs.

Seeing that he's not using talismans, the old fart gains some confidence in his spike ball and chain.

The heavy weapon crashed down onto Sol's shield with intensity. This weapon, the meter pendulum, truly lives up to its name.

However, Sol will notice something strange. The intensity of this attack disappointed him.

After facing some powerful breath of the sun experts like Madam Wee, a regular alchemist can't even pose a threat to him.

He had planned to use his alter-ego clones, but it seems there's no need for that. He can simply use his shield and nothing else to overpower the enemy.

There is no way that a fragile energy barrier can withstand a hit from soul.

This power stems from the principle of wood fire.

Multiple spiral bombs can crashing into the old pearl's defense.

You go and we stand there, doing his best not to be gravely injured.

He's growing weaker by the second as he desperately defends.

The gap between them is evident, but machiology is too arrogant and prideful to accept that.

He dropped all his tools and shields, attempting to trick soul into stopping the fight or

More else you would have to go all out and seriously harm the young man.

Soul casually accepted, and the old purr immediately fled from the stage.

A shocking match ended just like that, and it seems there are no more challengers against

the mysterious young alchemist.

This marks the end of the suitor competition, and it appears that soul has become entangled

in something complex once again.

Outside of young men lies the Yee family's humble manor.

The host, Yidamiyam, escorted him there.

Seoul had a different reason for participating in this suitor competition, but now it's caught in a major misunderstanding with Lady Yee.

He revealed that he only entered the suitor competition to stop the old purve, not to win movies hand.

Yidamiang was almost ready to confront Seoul after hearing those words, but he couldn't afford to be rude to a law of spirit energy alchemist.

Seoul was here to deliver something from the rift to the Yee family.

A trinket meant for direct blood relatives of the family.

It bears the name of Yichiang-so, Yi Damion's uncle.

After sitting down and recounting the story of what happened to the old man in the rift,

it seems the family has found closure at last.

Yichiang-so was an excellent and clever leader, but his final moments were filled with grief and lunacy.

Seoul also politely handed them the crystal beads that saved them from the evil spirit.

The host returned them to him and Seoul offered his assistance as payment for the bracelet

saving his life.

For now, he was invited to stay at the manner as a guest.

It turns out that interfering in their suitor competition had more serious consequences than he initially thought.

The Yee family is under immense pressure from the Juan clan of Jewan. To the extent of receiving an eviction order.

The Yee family has been in decline after being forced out of various locations.

They settled in the small city of Youngman for a few hundred years now, when Juan family has come.

Claiming their land and demanding everything the Yee family has left, including their talismans.

Even the government and other families are turning a blind eye to this issue.

This is why they are so eager to marry off Lady E to a high-level alchemist to mediate with the Hwang family, a family that has a few law of spirit energy alchemists and their ranks.

However, Stuvel might have a plan to address this problem. Hold up, let him cook.

He planned to stay with the Yi family for a while. News of Ma Chilji's defeat at his hands was currently spreading.

They could then spread a rumor about his marriage to Moonby. After that, the Hwang family would be forced to reassess the situation instead of causing an uproar.

in uproar. This would buy them some time. Yabdom yon fell them bears to accept souls

help again, but they desperately needed it. He would only agree to the plan after getting Mumbi's

approval since the rumors would implicate her the most. Soul hadn't fought that far ahead,

but he was open to the lady's opinion, of course. He took advantage of his time in the manner

to finally use the abominable stone to transform his Dharma tools into talismans. He had everything

he needed and succeeded. Lady entered his room and wanted to talk for now, they had to pretend

to be husband and wife. It had been six months since they started implementing the plan.

After presenting the methods to Moonby, she molded over and accepted. They held a modest fake wedding

while Seoul was busy crafting talismans. Today was a good day to make a public appearance. Before

the competition, the lady had to pay a toll feed enter the city. But now, the E family has

become a major power and young men. The wine family didn't dare to challenge them, but support

other families was still lacking. Although they were spouses in name, they felt awkward around

each other. They had never exchanged gifts since their fake wedding, so so well wanted to treat

her to something nice that day. Despite his good intentions, valet your refuse, making their

interactions even more awkward. Before they knew it, they ended up participating in a martial arts

competition in the city. The match was enjoyable until Seoul spotted a very familiar face.

It was young Master Sue, who had already reached the middle stage of heavenly birth,

coming to Dau Wuhmation had been a wise decision.

Dumb Master Sue's siblings were also present. He greeted Lady Sue,

feeling that their meeting here was fate, considering the size of the place.

Moonby and Sue might be pretending to be husband and wife,

but she felt uneasy knowing he was familiar with another lady.

Even Lady Sue had heard rumors about the young alchemist's wedding.

Being reminded of their charade didn't sit well with Moonby.

That same night, a reunion took place in the city's inn. Give her the Sioux siblings enthusiasm about

his marriage, so we'll one of the clear things of first, using a noise-canceling energy barrier. He explained the

family's situation and their plan to save them. They drank and conversed throughout the night,

clearing the air between everyone. Each person in the room's family had been saved by soul in one way or

another. However, the intoxicated moonbee seemed to have a different opinion about him.

Thanks to her Fox husband, she believes she had to live alone for the rest of her life. As

for whether the sham could turn into a real marriage, Lady Yee assured everyone that it wouldn't

happen. Saul simply didn't show any interest in her as a woman and she reciprocated. In fact,

she missed the days of being pursued by numerous suitors in Yomann. From her perspective,

several made for a poor fake husband. As for senior Guango Duan, he had always been elusive like

the wind. The Sioux siblings had also gone to the rift while the senior stayed by the lake.

All of them at the table were alchemists, but everyone except Seoul struggled with their liquor.

Suddenly, the mysterious old woman appeared, claiming that someone wanted to meet Seoul.

Given the current scheme, the Baoak Sinsec must have traced him. However, in just two words,

his curiosity was peaked. The animation. This was why the leader had been seeking him.

So, if he went to a stone near the inn, the crafty leader congratulated him on his marriage,

but got right into business. She'd actually asked the general assembly about Yanamation

out of embarrassment for not knowing. Before sharing any information, she had a few questions of her own.

She led a vast intelligence network, so she likely knew a lot about him already. Yet,

these days, she couldn't get so old's mystery out of her mind. This woman probably wouldn't

easily provide him with the information he sought. She believed that when she had discovered

Outwayed the value of the information about the faceless murderer. She didn't realize that Yanomation was on a different continent altogether.

Shobin couldn't help but be curious when an unknown person asked for directions to a distant

country on another continent.

It was clear that she wanted answers before providing any information herself.

Every alchemist sent by her sect into the rift, including the esteemed Elder Pyle, had not

returned.

It was reasonable to assume that they had perished in the lake.

The lake in the rift had long been known as a perilous enigma, but some alchemists claim

to have seen madam we enter without emerging.

This raised the possibility that a conflict over treasure had led to their mutual demise.

A deeper inquiry revealed the names "Sole" and "Machiam," who had accompanied the red heavenly winged

horses.

It was only natural to wonder how these two had survived when all others had perished.

Xiaobeng was insatiable when it came to gathering information.

She would plead earnestly to uncover the mysteries of that lake, but so had nothing to share.

You felt no obligation to recount the events.

Logically, Sewell should have been insignificant against two formidable experts, at the end

of Return Unscaved.

Shaw being sent something extraordinary in this young man that others couldn't see.

It was an open secret that Matt and Lee's relationship with her husband was strained due

to her closeness with her loyal servant.

At present, the mountain will a man or remain unaware of Sewell's involvement in these matters.

Returning to the reunion room, it appeared that everyone had sobered up.

So all sat beside Lady Yea, who blushed an embarrassment, recalling her drunken remarks.

Despite their pretense of being a couple, it seemed she was becoming closer to young Master

Su than ever before, even a prince joined in the just.

Soul had been countered someone as enjoyable as Lady Yea in a long time, and he contemplated spending

more time at the E-family's manner.

All their relatives were nearby as well.

It appeared that the modest E-matter was about to become bustling with people.

The Su-family seemed to have adapted to the local way of life.

Then he had Damiong warmly welcome them with an open heart and a bright smile.

As for Seoul, someone from the with family was looking for him.

The mountain will a manor would no longer pose a threat to Seoul in the future, but Madame Lee

was highly regarded by the with family's leader.

They had already visited the Baoq Sin sect seeking information.

She'll be wanting to use this impending threat to pressure Seoul into talking, but he remained

unfazed, accusing him without evidence and with an accurate information would only damage

the guild's reputation.

So old would insist that he had endured torment at the hands of the breath of the sun experts and had barely saved himself.

However, the astute leader had made a connection between the Yee family's history and the lake in the rift.

Chobing even observed that the interactions between the supposed husband and wife were rather cold.

So old was confident that it was all conjecture, and that the Baoq sin sect would not indulge in spreading gossip.

Nonetheless, Chobing was so infuriated that she contemplated revealing some fragments of information that could put soul and trouble.

It was futile to argue with her at this point, so he decided it was time to leave.

As for the information about Jana-Mation, he would figure it out on his own.

He had no desire to deal with his devious woman any longer, nevertheless, it seemed that

today he would have to contend with her vengeance.

In one of the rooms of the manor, a man awaited souls' arrival.

He casually smoked a pipe and insulted the fall of the E family.

This man held no regard or respect for the E family and soul.

His name was We Joe Gao, and he expected Seoul to be aware of his agenda for the day.

Enough with hesitation and probing, it was time for a conversation.

Joe Gao had come to inquire about the disappearance of Madam Wee, last seen with Seoul inside

the rift.

Joe Gao simply wanted to know why their young miss had returned.

Seoul explained that his involvement in her fight with Elder Pyeong was purely coincidental.

This explanation made sense.

After the two experts faced off, they engaged in a verbal and physical confrontation leaving

soul of no choice but to step away from the chaos.

In soul's words, he had been lucky to escape while the experts fought.

This excuse seemed feeble to joke down, as the deaths of everyone involved couldn't have occurred

so easily.

However, soul will stuck to his story.

If joke I all reported this to his leader without evidence, soul would be labeled as responsible

for Madame Lee's death.

In the beginning, this man was determined to make soul escape boat.

The way family wouldn't act against soul without evidence, but their relationship with

the E family was strained.

It was essentially a direct threat to soul.

The way family knew about the few between the small families in this small city.

They could easily send numerous spirit energy alchemists to the Huang clan, watching destruction

before the E family.

It was a dirty but effective method to get to him.

Amidst all this chaos, who would notice if soul went missing without anyone realizing.

However, Joe Baeong wanted to assure him that his life would be spared in the end.

He believed that no matter how powerful the Wii family was, starting a war just to capture

him would be too troublesome, but that wasn't the case.

This would be a simple task for the Wii family.

There was still an underlying resentment within the Wii family when compared to the glory days

of the Wii family.

After all, they had led the destruction of the Rivulet Phoenix pre-hundred years ago.

So we'll found himself in an unfortunate circumstance, unable to escape.

The show guy honored myred his courage and potential, but this situation had grown beyond

the young man's abilities.

The representative of the Wii family had to leave with disappointing news.

They both understood that this was the calm before the storm, yet they acted casually.

Shell Bing had betrayed him completely, and there was a possibility that Machium was implicated

as well.

For now, he needed to speak with Yidane Young first.

It didn't take long for Wang family to make their unreasonable demands once more.

They gave an ultimatum of 3 months before declaring all out war.

Soul had also come to check the status of his request, the spread of an unusual rumor in

the city.

A rumor that wounds soul, the son-in-law of the E-family, had an inclination towards men.

And as a result, his beautiful wife, E-moon bee, had been living in isolation.

If Machiaem heard this rumor and came to him, it would be killing 2 birds with one stone.

For now, a meeting with all the E-family members was an order.

It couldn't accept the Huang family's demands. So war was inevitable. They anticipated facing

three law of spirit alchemists. But so old knew it would be just three, with the support of the

Wii family from hoojing. The Huang family could muster four to five more experts for the war. The

family responsible for their initial downfall three centuries ago was now seeking to finish

them off. They lacked the power and influence to handling impending disaster. Even the

leader had given up hope and ordered everyone to leave the clan. If everyone left you

who we young province, they could at least preserve their lives. But so we'll couldn't bear to see the family crumble like that. A formidable wave was crashing down, and the feeling helplessness was overwhelming. They had been 100 years since E-Haxion consumed the position of family head, and during all the tough and painful times of their families decline. So we couldn't care less about all that. No matter how challenging the circumstances, witnessing the family's patriarchs surrendering and exhaling despair as lifeless as a corpse is disheartening.

particularly considering his role as the esteemed leader of the E-family.

Yet this man persists in seclusion. He hasn't exerted himself for the family's benefit.

A true family head should not await the clan's inevitable decline. Right from the outset,

everyone should have ousted this pitiable individual masquerading of the family head.

While this frail elderly man was squandering the family's future, no one took action. If no one

possessed the confidence to oppose this feeble-minded E-action, everyone simply went along with a tide,

regardless of its direction. In reality, they were significantly outmatched by the Huang family.

Even the alchemists from the We family confirmed their impending doom.

So will himself intended to participate in the impending conflict,

yet no one had the courage to join him. Observing the passive response of these defeated

elders, he left the room and frustration. In the dead of night, the family head,

Damion and Mubi sought him out. For an extended period, the We family had suffered without

of assistance and they were perplexed by Saul's will-and-myst intervene.

Opting not to disclose his personal association with a wee family, so will simply reiterate

how Yichinongso's crystal had saved his life, he could have kept that information to himself.

So he casually mentioned that it's just in his nature. He is a peculiar young man, and some

might suspect ulterior motives. To be honest, the E-family doesn't fully trust Saul. Nevertheless,

In the face of the looming threat, they were willing to take a chance and entrust their fate

to the young alchemist.

It turns out that the family had and successors metal, possess a unique ability.

It serves as a key to unlock the family's secret vault in times of crisis.

However, 300 years ago, each young so it took his metal to the rift and never returned.

Now that so old has brought back the same metal, everything has changed.

It finally makes sense why they fall in so helplessly from grace.

During their illustrious history, it stands to reason that they have valuable items stashed away.

Yet, over a year has passed and so will return the medal, and they still haven't managed

to open the vault.

Not for lack of trying, though the current head simply couldn't unlock it.

The elders and the head attempted to pool their spiritual energy, but to no avail.

Their ancestors must have never anticipated their descent to such a dire state.

Yihak's own sense of powerlessness runs deep, and soul is determined to remedy it.

We spoke without fully comprehending the desperate struggle of a frail old man. They wanted

to unlock the vault themselves instead of relying on external assistance, but the war was rapidly approaching.

Now, they turned a soul for help, with dummy on being the one to propose the idea.

Soul is the person they trust the most among those who can't be entirely trusted. He will

only agree to assist them in unlocking the secret vault.

Moonby still harbored reservations about her counterfeit husband, the prospect of revealing

the family's treasures was too enticing to pass up. For the first time, Yee-hacksongs face exhibited

a spark of life as they could finally access the secret vault. It was situated quite a distance

from the city. Fortunately, Mubi had warmly accepted his motion Dharma tool gift. They'd arrive

at a seemingly ordinary location to Seoul. Its consulment was impeccable. There was a crevice

in the cliffs where the Jade metal could be employed. It didn't appear or feel particularly

special. Yet it was a precious key item. The three who accompanied soul were expressions of concern.

Fearing they would be no match for him if he decided to eliminate them and seize all the treasures. To

alleviate their apprehension, he proceeded with the unlocking process. It soon became evident that you

would need to channel an enormous amount of energy to unseal the vault. Eventually, the inconspicuous

cliff face swung open flawlessly. The family had momentarily blocked soul from entering outsiders

were not permitted inside the vault. However, given all his assistance, they might as well enter

together. I thought family head was about to be headless. It's no secret that this vault probably

contains untold treasures from their glory days. Right now, soul is free to do as he pleases.

It can't even be certain that you won't be blinded by greed. Suddenly, he remembered

John Gunn's teaching, passing by a treasure and holding back his foolish. Alchemists cannot

He'd all boils down to the fact that he's strong, and they're weak. That was until another familiar voice called out to him.

It was the fifth master, reminding him of the kindness and trust that John Gunn had given him.

Soul grew up with affection, values and trust because of his mentors.

That's why John Gunn warned him about people who didn't share the same morals.

On his long journey, he encountered people who helped him.

Good men will be good, and bad men will be bad.

It's up to him that he'll succumb to evil and grief thoughts for treasures.

He was trying to find excuses to harm the E family.

At the end of the day, Seoul is a good man, and a good man sticks to his morals.

The interior of the vault is larger than he initially thought.

Treasure lay before him as far as the eye can see.

There are done pills, Dharma tools, and even middle grade talismans.

However, all of these provide long-term strength boosts.

Using them in the upcoming war would take too long.

One thing that might help them is the stacks of easy-to-use amulets.

High-grade and superior-grade amulets will certainly assist them immensely.

Additionally, there are many books with unique and powerful magic arts that can be quickly mastered.

Moonby also discovered a whole box of lifesaving crystal protection beads.

The family had apologized that he couldn't share too much treasure as they needed it for rebuilding.

The family had doubted the young man, but so old didn't show any signs of greed, even though he could easily overpower them.

For compensation, he could choose some items to take.

So old wouldn't miss such a rare opportunity.

Given his slow cultivation progress, the answer was simple.

He wanted a done pill to increase his spirit energy.

For that purpose, the great protection elixir would be the best choice.

It's an excellent medicine that would undoubtedly aid him in leveling up.

The E-family has regained their foundation for rebuilding, and they must prepare for the incoming storm in three months.

While so old was cultivating, movie came to his room to inspect his crystal protection bracelet.

The light in this one had already dimmed.

A long time ago, a e-family ancestor helped a rivulet phoenix to feed a fiend.

They gifted the ancestor with these marble-like items afterward.

They were the blue crystals on the bracelets, treasures from a sacred beast, which explained

their efficacy against elementary spirits.

The ancestor was a beautiful woman whose niven had been ruined, even after she had aged,

the phoenix never stopped visiting.

Cases of sacred beasts having feelings for humans were possible.

Makiya himself is a product of that love, but in the Ancestors case, it was a one-sided love for the Phoenix.

Mumi gave Seoul a new bracelet in 12 more crystals as a backup. She was grateful for her fake

husband's support in defending her family without covering their treasures. It takes a month to

digest one of the treasured pills, and Seoul already feels the effects of one. As it was about to take

the last pill, he was informed of a visitor. He already knew who it was just by sensing it. He hurriedly

ran, expecting a reunion with senior sister Machiaem only to be greeted by a

carefree old man's voice. It was none other than senior Guango Duan, it might not

have been the visitor he was expecting. But it was still a pleasant surprise. The

old man wanted to know all about his adventures since they separated. It even

heard the rumors circulating in town. Until now, the senior couldn't help but

treat soul like a luna few or something. That was until another visitor entered

the Yi family's doors. This time, it really was Machiaem, who had heard about his marriage

and inclination toward men. To her, it now made sense why Seoul was so distantly polite. The

senior felt the monstrous energy emanating from Machiaem. It was even stronger than Seoul's.

He couldn't believe that these two came from the now ruined Iron Sphere sect. It was the

first time that Machiaem and senior Wengo Duan had met, but they were already getting along well.

bonded over teasing Sull in front of his face. When the Sue siblings arrived, it finally became

a complete reunion. The first thing on Sulli's mind was a proper drink for the occasion. As everyone

merrily drank the night away, Sulli wanted to take Maki on the side for a quick conversation.

The E-family consistently proposed martial arts duels instead of an all-out war, but Puan family

refused due to their overwhelming advantage. Today, Sulli's progress was attributed to the potent

protection elixir, while Sue we contributed high level emulates for the upcoming battle. At the delegation advanced towards

the battlefield, they were suddenly ambushed. So we'll quickly leap to the front lines to thwart the surprise attack.

The critical assets in this impending battle were Wango Duan and Makiyum, ensuring victory was all but assured.

So we'll advise most of the weaker Yi family members to focus on defense for the time being.

Their mission was to hold the line while the three spearheads went for the jugular.

It didn't take long for them to confront the Huang clan's experts, the mouse seemingly

outnumbered the Yi family in terms of law of spirit energy alchemists.

Even Zhou Vaiang was seen shamelessly lurking in the lower ranks.

The enemies aimed to attack with a divided force simultaneously, but against someone like

Seoul, this was a grave error.

A visit to the secret vault had significantly bolstered the Yi family's combat potential.

It could now boast impressive defensive capabilities.

If all the enemy experts descended at once, the E-family might have struggled, but now they could

eliminate foes of their own pace.

First on our hit list was the arrogant Wade Joe Gyeong, who believed this war would be a cakewalk.

Joe Gyeong recognized Machiaem, who had been implicated in the madamly incident, and planned

to capture her life.

In response, so will unleash two spiral bombs of different elements.

Joe Gyeong dismissed them as futile until his energy shield shattered like glass.

Although Joe Gaiang should have been a higher level than Sol, a single attack penetrated his barrier.

He decided to take the offensive with his trusty sacred gold rings.

Joe Gaiang unleashed countless golden rings into the air as if Sonic the Hedgehog just died.

Sol's response was agile and flashy, employing fast-dodging clones and after-images.

To counter his bewildering ability, Joe Gaiang divided his attacks into five, ensuring

that Sol's real body only had to contend with 20% of the onslaught.

This provided him the opportunity to employ the touch of Miss with his three swords.

Joe Guy-owned have been fixated on the clones and now he was paying the price.

Struggling to maintain his barrier against a lower-leveled alchemist, Joe Guy-owned believe

a battle of attrition was his only option, hoping to outlast Seoul.

However, this strategy might have worked against ordinary alchemists, but not against someone

who had consumed the mythical brilliant Jade and gold elixirs.

The level took advantage of Joe Bion's passivity to unleash his eternal sword reign without any hindrance.

On the opposite side of the battlefield, you also summon the flying vortex.

While these simultaneous attacks were taxing, they allowed him to eliminate other enemies

besides Joe Gion.

Finally, three of souls swords broke through the man's barrier.

So we'll present a Joe Gion with two choices, instead death or ingesting a rancid poison

that would sap his cultivation.

The once proud Wii family delegate chose the latter to save his pitiful life.

With this, the enemy side lost one of their most formidable assets without a genuine fight.

Although the Wying family had the numerical advantage, the three experts on the Yi family's

side operated on a different level.

Most of the Wying experts were occupied with the Yi family's defense and believed they were

on the brink of a breakthrough.

Their grave error had been concentrating all their experts in one place, only to be bombarded

with numerous high-grade emulates.

They got skilled diffed.

Many members of the Hwang families forces and become prisoners of war.

Joe Guyong, in particular, proved to be a disappointment as one of the elders drifted aimlessly.

He was struck by three familiar swords and added to the captive count.

The Hwang families' powers slowly eroding as their experts fall one by one.

Since the beginning of this battle, they have been on the losing side.

As another elder voiced his dissatisfaction with the unfolding events, he too was struck

by those same three barrier-shattering swords.

This power emanated from soul, seen as a mere child in the eyes of an old man. With little

time and spirit energy to spare, he needed to take down another enemy. This task was easily

accomplished by deploying his clones and overwhelming the opposition. Soon enough, they captured

every expert and disciple of a Huang clan. With a mighty Huang Bionchun tied up and powerless,

the Yi family could decide his fate. When asked for his opinion, the domineering Huang Bionchun

could only helplessly watch as his family face annihilation. There shouldn't have been mutual hatred

between the families, but involving the Wii family to wipe out the E-Clan cross-align. As the executioners

soared swung down in the family head, it was only stopped when the Huang clan offered their

spirit stone mine. However, a dying man's word could be trusted, stone official document

from mine had to be presented. With a revival of the E-family, they could afford to let the

the Huang clan go to the forced peace treaty and take some of their fortune. As the Yee family

regained power, this war would become irrelevant. It was all thanks to Seoul and the trio of

monstrous experts. Everything was settled after a long while. But Cho Bing's information

about the location of the Yanamations still bothered Seoul. She might be an opportunist, but

she wasn't the type to lie. Traveling to a different continent was still a mystery, a direct

teleportation portal would be best. As he relaxed in his room, a powerful presence entered

The patriarch recognized his capabilities and promised not to pursue further without evidence, meaning that as long as soul was innocent, there would be no profit.

There would be no profit, but he would be no profit.

But he would be no profit.

But he would be no profit.

He would be no profit.

He would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

He would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

And he would be no profit.

He would be no profit.

So what was innocent? There would be no problems. Since the portal to open the palace would be closed for the next 300 years. It was safe to say that he was cleared. Madam's body only indicated death by elementary spirit.

We thought everything had been settled, so he wanted to take his men now. However, so was just getting started, clearing his name should have been the priority.

The prisoners of war were in good condition and had sustained minimal injuries. Old man, we only wanted the conditions for their release. The price was simple.

Twenty special-grade spirit stones per alchemist. A hundred spirit stones in total for all five of the We family experts.

The patriarch's expression turned grim upon hearing that price, but so will believe it was worth it.

He even humbly explained that he was offering a discount due to the Wii family's reputation.

A hundred special-grade spirit stones was a significant amount, and it might have been better if his men had been killed in battle instead.

The deal was agreed upon and documented by the provincial inspector, so there should be no more lingering problems from now on.

from now on. For this rainfall, 40 spirits stones would go to Seoul and 30 each to Machiahm and the

senior. Bueno Duen was evidently pleased with this substantial treasure for such an easy task.

They had truly been fortunate that the enemies had severely underestimated them. For now, at

least the senior could finally afford some better talismans instead of Dharma tools. Machiahm

had also departed for her training journey. Now Seoul was alone once again. Since he had just

3gan is freedom, he had time to set his plans in motion. He's finally done grinding. First things first, shopping for precious elixirs. But the valuable ones are auctioned off to the highest bidders, mostly affluent families. A purchasing isn't an auction. Soo might as well craft him himself. He even considered making some for 1-1. Thanks to the second master's teachings, he knows how to handle elixirs for magical beasts. He can only hope that 1-1 can grow up to be like his senior's white cloud crane. That magical beast is the most important. The first one to do is to create a unique

can take on alchemists single-handedly. Suddenly, the old lady from Baoq's sin sect appeared to summon him again.

Every time they meet, there's new information regarding Soho. His victory against the Huang and

We Alliance was masterful. As always, Hiddlebinger made shingles, distancing herself from the war when

she's the one who essentially triggered it. Soho just kept surpassing her expectations. She's the

only one who can truly appreciate the extraordinaryness of his feats. Capturing experts instead of

killing them was a smarter and more challenging move. He essentially defeated the powerful

we family with his own strength. As for why he's been summoned, it's for a question. The

sect has recovered the body of the faceless murderer and found something. The murderer was poisoned

to death by a potent toxin, indicating that soul was weaker than the murderer at that time. So,

Shobeng has some theories about how he got stronger and short time. The logical conclusion is that

that he acquired some valuable treasure from the mysterious lake. Defeating two son alchemists

is no small feat, so she believes a repeat of what happened to the E family 300 years ago may

have occurred. She was quite accurate, so it didn't get stronger thanks to treasures related

to the lake. However, these are just stories and shallbings mine without any evidence, making

them difficult to substantiate. She'll be wanting to emphasize that she's quite fond of soul

and would like them to collaborate if anything interesting arises. Sometimes, the sex

That sends alchemists to work on magic beasts, sacred herbs, or hidden treasures.

They outsource these tasks to other alchemists, but so will only want to work with people he can trust.

These two have very different definitions of trust.

Ultimately, Shobang wants to utilize soul, and he's aware of her intentions.

Untold treasures are tempting, but he can't easily work with someone so eccentric.

To persuade him, she reveals that Yanomation is a considerable distance from Daewu nation

to the east, and that's not the only piece of information she possesses. She's slowly drawing him in, genuinely

seeking mutual benefit. He leaves the room with an assignment to obtain venom from the seven

silver-scaled snake and as-class magic beast. Sheobein also mentions the existence of a unique memoir.

While to go, there was an alchemist from Yanomation who settled in Daywub until his death.

He compiled his life experiences in a published memoir written in a foreign language,

Now sitting in the corner of the General Assembly's library, this revelation doesn't seem to satisfy

soul. To access those books, he'll need to make a move for the sect. There's a good chance he can translate

them using his mother tongue, which the master is taught him. For now, he's embarking on a journey using

a teleportation portal. It took AKA to secure a spot in the teleportation circle, indicating

high demand among alchemists. He recognizes a few disciples from Mount White sect with their

cloud design sleeves. They are a powerful sect, but that doesn't guarantee the virtue of their

members. So we'll just learn that there are corrupt individuals in righteous sex and good people

in evil organizations. For now, here are Maine's cautious during the journey. The other

individuals fill in the spots where a different attire. Seeing them out white sect members,

the three rush as fast as they can, are afraid of being late. Finally, the portal activates,

and it's time to hunt down the S-Class Magic Beast. Five days have elapsed since he embarked on his

journey in this enchanted forest. Given the elusive nature of the seven silver-scaled creature,

it is wiser to await its approach. It even concealed his true prowess to present a more enticing target.

Unquestionably, this tactic proved effective as the beast finally saw him out. Attempting to approach

from behind, the serpent was astounded by soul's swiftness, believing him an easy prey. It was unwilling to

release its grass so readily. Soul simply hovered and evaded until the creature grew irate. Eventually,

Venom began to drip from the snake's fangs.

Squiffly, before the creature could squander more of this precious substance, soul severed its head.

This venom is exceptionally potent and capable of stopping a heart.

The snake's night in and scales hold considerable value, but soul possesses all he requires.

Even after losing its head in combat, this monster displayed the audacity to strike once more.

A minor inconvenience was resolved with a mere slap.

instances of magical beasts behaving in such a manner are not uncommon and soul was prepared,

gathering the extra resources he then departed from the woods. She obeys information proves to

be remarkably accurate. While traversing the skies, he noticed an intriguing cave.

It is relatively small and devoid of any signs of magical beasts. It would be an ideal

location to set up a magical trap for crafting elixirs for one one. He possesses all the necessary

ingredients including the snake's neton. His skills and night on extraction have improved,

so this should not consume much time. His first attempt at utilizing the nagnon of a superior

magic beast was mentally taxing. For now, he can administer five of the mass produced advanced

heavenly birth pills to one one. However, the feline merely glanced at the inferior pills and ignored

them, since experiencing the gold elixir. One one has become more discerning. One one has become

quite the pamper cat, since so will invested considerable effort in crafting these pills.

He threatened to consume them himself, prompting his pet to happily devile the pills.

With numerous elixirs for one-one, the feeding process would be protracted.

However, even after consuming several, there appears to be no change in the cat.

It took roughly a week to deplete all the other pills, leaving only the precious elixirs extracted

from the snake's net done.

As soon as it was presented, one-one pounced on it.

This feline possesses an affinity for rare and precious items.

Under soul's care, Juan Juan is leading a luxurious life.

Now, so will can concentrate on the snake venom, the most potent he has acquired in a while.

Deluding it in water and injecting it into his body yielded no discernible effects.

Therefore, he is eager to experiment with the pure form of the venom, which is the tiny

dose he experienced the desired outcome.

He wished to explore further, but the venom swiftly rendered him unconscious, upon awakening.

Wan Wan was joyfully licking his face once again.

He may have gone too far by injecting 10 drops into his system, but aside from a migraine, he appears

to be in good health.

So will rarely sleep anymore.

So is uncommon for him to slumber as deeply as he did.

His body is now in prime condition, but Wan Wan seems restless, vigorously scratching

the cave walls.

After inspection reveals that the markings on the surface are highly unusual.

After consuming numerous elixirs, Juan went as grown considerably stronger, as an experiment so old

dared his feline companion to break free from the inner binding seal.

So old wanted to seize this opportunity to enhance his seal, but it seemed like Juan wanted

given up.

In the next second, the cat would demonstrate that this was far from the truth.

Juan went broke the seal, and he went for more.

So we'll had to activate his barrier as a sharp claw attack mercilessly targeted his master.

What had begun as a basic attack now, oddly converged into something else.

This was different.

One one manifested an attack in the shape of soul's Genesis sword, even mimicking his flying

squalal energy strike.

It might not have the full power of the destruction sword arts, but it was still potent.

With this, one could say that one one was closer to becoming a high-class magic beast.

He was still young, like he was one of the kind.

a few more elixirs and he would become even stronger. On his way back he finally had the chance

to use the sacred needle of wisdom. It directly pointed to the location of nearby treasures,

and Madame we probably used this to achieve her level at a young age. These tools allowed her

to take on risks confidently when no one else would. This could lead soul to riches beyond imagination.

So he vowed to collect every single sacred herb in this forest. While he was at it, he would hunt

every magic beast too. Thanks to the needle, searching the area had become much easier,

and the quality of his finds had improved as well. But in his search, he felt an unusual force. Observing from

a distance, he saw what the force was about. It was the alchemists of Mount White sect, desperately

protecting themselves. So we'll thought it would be fun to watch this unfold for a while. They were

facing off against formidable angry monkeys, bad temper, intelligence, and strength in numbers

The alchemists couldn't even counter-attack because they were so busy defending. The seniors couldn't move as they pleased with their disciples in tow. These juniors knew that and wanted their elders to go all out. One of the old menus multiple amulets of once, was effective in dealing with the charging monkeys, but also angered the beasts. In response, the alchemists performed a quarter-nary palace formation. This was the first time Seoul had seen this bizarre formation. It seemed like all of them were pooling in the house. They were

their energy for one powerful attack. The concentration of their spirit power and the massive barrier formed

quite a lethal combination. This kind of technique was only possible for those who had trained together.

The monkeys were furious, and they wanted to destroy the barrier. They didn't retreat in the face of

deadly force. There were only a few beasts left, but the elders couldn't handle another major attack.

So, the only course of action was to undo the technique and duel the remaining monkeys.

After some time, the group successfully dealt with the crisis. One of the masters paid the highest price,

injuring himself and the process of their powerful combo. Despite being severely injured,

this old man actually brought out an elixir for his precious disciple. The old man wanted to make his

disciples dream of becoming the youngest law of spirit energy alchemists ever come true.

The other masters saw that and couldn't be selfish. He followed suit and handed men of the

the medicine as well. She was a kind-hearted child. As they were winding down from the monkey attack,

one of the masters was struck in the heart. As for who had done such a thing, the other master almost lost

himself in anger. It was the ungrateful disciple, Yulep. This kid needs Jesus. The little

master just killed his injured master and cold blood. And now he's going for the other elder, though that

attempt failed due to a barrier block. But the elder is already drained and not in good condition

to endure further. Yulep is justifying his horrible actions in his own twisted way. He intends not

to leave any witnesses, and the last elder has fallen against his power. Minna was overcome with rage as

she prepared to fight her senior brother. Yulep is just acting out of pure greed. He was blinded by

the prospect of taking over 39 ends from 30 monkeys. Along with all their previous hunts for himself,

he's the worst kind of beast in this forest. After going back to the sect,

he will have to answer for everything that happened. He has built his reputation too high to start over.

Yennellit believes that empathetic alchemists are the reason for their sex stagnation,

so he can just scrap everything and start anew with his improved skills. Now that she knows his next move,

there's no reason to keep her alive anymore. Minna wasn't able to do anything to save the masters.

She's starting to accept the fact that this is it for her. The same attack I killed two experts is now

but you lip was suddenly enveloped by a painful burst of energy. It came from none other than Soul himself. He

can't stand by after seeing the actions of this scum. Soul couldn't care less if this group died off, but

this is a different matter. Minna's mind was reeling after seeing everyone in her party die. She started

thinking that Soul is just a stronger enemy than you lip. When asked of Soul helped the girl, he

responded that he just killed some trash. He despises people who dare to hurt their own master. As he

She observes all their loot he asks if the seniors have any other disciples.

It turns out that the elders amount white sect only taken one disciple each.

When it comes to family, the elder didn't even marry.

Their pouch of abundance should belong to the sect from now on, in fact the case.

Soul might as well just take it.

Mena wanted to contest this thought as she would be the one who would need to explain what

happened here to the sect.

She can't be suspected of taking the loot and she'd have to tell on soul.

She carefully considered every possibility from here on out and came up with a solution.

The party went here for a magic beast hunt.

They can just pin everything on you lip and soul and take the nyman's and beast corpse.

She has no choice but to give up this much.

Minna is afraid to even move after seeing how strong soul is.

He didn't give her any trouble though, agreeing to her plan even leaving one night and that

was hers in the first place.

This much would prove that soul is not at all evil.

But seeing as he's still taking his cut of the loot, he's not an angel either.

The elder master and her own master are now an eternal slumber.

She remember how kind and thoughtful her master was despite his nagging.

The tears of the maiden started falling like rain.

After collecting all the corpses, Stole went up to Minna and handed her the elixir that her

master offered her earlier.

This elixir of purity is just what she needs right now.

She's drained of all of her energy and would need a boost to get out of the forest alive.

So we'll notice that even gave her some of his own medicine.

At first, she doubted if it was poison, but she had no choice but to take it. The effectiveness was

equal to their precious elixir of puree and soul gave her two. Much she surprised the young lady's

suddenly lost consciousness. Aya, what was that pill? Even so old was surprised at what had just happened.

It might be impolite, but you had to check her body. Shivering and with faint breathing,

he shouldn't have given her the precious parallel lixers. Her spirit energy had to stabilize. The elixir

After a few moments, it seemed like her pain had gone. Now she was just resting for a bit. She was still having trouble processing too much energy, but had slowed down for now. So we'll need to take her away from this open door to the floor.

space full of alchemists and magic beasts, so he brought her to the cave from earlier.

In there, she started to wake up again.

The last thing she remembered was the powerful young man, checking everything that looked

like nothing was wrong and she was able to lift thanks to him.

Now she needed to report back to the sect somehow.

It would be best if the powerful young man could testify against the despicable yulep.

She didn't know where she currently was and the sky was becoming darker.

her resting, she was confident that she would be able to come back to the sect. That was until a familiar voice came out of the woods.

Soul had not abandoned her after all, a man followed through. He even set up a magic trap in front of the cave entrance to keep her safe.

Minna steeled her resolve and pushed the words out of her mouth. She pleaded with Soul to come with her to the sect. She waited for his response with baited breath.

Our boy was lost and thought, he had never thought about going to this Mount White sect before. He had killed a disciple, but it was a punishment for him.

but it was a punishment for a grave sin. The problem would be the two laws of spirit energy

alchemists who had died before. The sect would undoubtedly investigate and he would be mentioned

in the process. He reed to Minah's pleading and evidently lifted the young lady's spirits.

She assured him that he wouldn't regret visiting their sect. Their ancestor and sect creator

had searched all over Ewing province for the most beautiful and spirit energy filled mountains.

He had ended up on the legendary Mount White, a born-the-flying sword the two had finally arrived.

The ancestor of this sect was said to have reached the vitality of Yin and Yang. Some people went even

further, saying that he had become a deity. They were greeted by a lively young man, the front gates.

But it was odd that she had arrived with none of the original party. As for why that was,

she'd have to explain upstairs. She introduced Seoul to another elder as a senior in business.

From this point on in the mountains, teleportation alchemy was forbidden and soul kept that in mind.

In front of him was a seemingly endless series of stairs going up and about the whole mountain range.

They quickly scaled it by flying and arrived at the front of a modest white palace.

Minna shouted her full name, Akio Min, asking for an audience with the Lord.

The gates then opened up slowly.

So what was about to meet the stromus person on the mountain?

He was an older dignified man sitting on a throne and surrounded by the elders.

This was the Lord of Mount White sect.

One soul politely paid respect and introduced himself.

The Lord of legislation, as he called himself, was named "Sumwook."

He thought he knew every law of spirit energy alchemist in U.A. and province, but this young man was unknown to him.

Such a young expert couldn't have flown under the radar, as for the reason for their visit, Minau would be the one to explain.

After the incident, she had brought the three corpses from the mountain.

Of course, the Lord of legislation had to see for himself what the fuss was about.

The cause of death for the two elders was confirmed as the white thunder shot.

As for the third corpse, Yulep had died of a different cause.

It had also been confirmed that there were some internal damages.

He had been the traces of the white fundershot and told them that the culprit was a

disciple.

The only problem would be determining whether the dead Yee-Lip or the young woman in front

of them was the culprit.

The Lord of legislation dared to accuse the young lady after all the turmoil she had just

been through.

Tacked by angry, magic monkeys and then betrayed by the despicable Yee-Lip, all for the sake

of greed.

She could only survive to tell the tale thanks to her senior.

Woon.

Of course, he would support every word she said.

He even brought out the yin-yang shield he used to protect the young lady.

The courts of Yuleb also supported their story.

Now that it's settled, the Lord of legislation solemnly expressed his gratitude to soul.

For now, he's invited to stay at the sect while the investigation wraps up.

For the first time in a while, Mina finally heaved a sigh of relief, so we'll can just watch

from the sidelines and train silently in these mountains.

After a day, he was summoned by the sect's Lord of the House.

He was oddly instructed to leave his pouch of abundance before entering the building, and he complied.

So we'll respectfully greeted the Lord of the house, who happened to be another old geezer, the head of the Mount White sect,

"Nung Jao Woon."

This geezer knows that he defeated the wee family, something that no one should have known.

But "Nung Jao Woon" appears to be a fan, excited to meet his idol.

That's only natural, though, so will accomplish extraordinary feats in the recent war.

The Lord also wanted to warn him about patriarch Wesek, as that man is not very forgiving.

No one had a very favorable impression of soul right from the beginning.

So he asked the young man if he was part of any sex.

So what was not affiliated with any organization, he was just taught alchemy and craftsmanship

by his masters at a young age.

As for the identity of his masters, no one would probably know their names in this nation.

He had been here for a whole day, and everything felt fitting for a prestigious sect.

Internally, it's evident that there's a crisis within the Mount White sect. They have recently lost

valuable elders through the hands of a disciple. Ads are that the fact that they are being pushed

around by the nearby iron rock sect. They're in a less-than-ideal position. If an alchemist, like wound soul,

joins them, the benefits would be immense. So, the Lord wants to establish a strong relationship

with the young man. And he hurriedly extended an invitation to their organization. He offered generous

amounts of elixirs and spirit stones. Even promised that soul could take the spot of an elder after reaching the final stages of his current level. The Lord guaranteed that soul wouldn't take more than a hundred years to achieve this. He had come to these mountains on a whim and it was better for him to operate freely.

But having a backer like a Mount White sect would undoubtedly be helpful. In rotation was a bit sudden, but this organization had three breath of the sun alchemists. Two of them were busy training while one of them was at the song Chima Palace.

the Lord wanted to introduce soul to that expert to train together. It was very tempting,

but he knew that he would eventually need to leave Dei Wuhn Nation. So he respectfully declined to

deal with me any one jump for joy. He knew that if he accepted the offer and enjoyed all the

benefits, it would be wrong to leave one day without repaying their kindness. It seemed like the

Lord was not giving up though. So, a counteroffer was brought to the table. He could sign up as an

outsider disciple. Thus retaining his freedom and leaving the country would be no problem. The

The systems for this type of arrangement were already in place within the sect.

It wouldn't be able to fully support him like an official disciple, but he would still

enjoy many benefits.

He could even opt in as an official disciple whenever he wanted.

With just a single sip of his tea, so all made a decision.

This opportunity was just too good to pass up.

With that in mind, the Lord handed him a mysterious box.

Inside were powerful protection elixirs, assigning bonus of sorts.

Even as an outsider disciple, he would still be guaranteed the elder position after reaching

in the final stages of the Law of Spirit Energy. So old was not an ungrateful person, and he planned to

repay this kindness to Mount White sect. Bro just randomly got the best job off her. In the snowy woods of

the Mount White sect, we find a young lady named Mina, wandering aimlessly. She is gripped by a sense of

detachment from the sect following the loss of her master. In her darkest moments, she contemplates

whether facing Yuleto wrath might have been a preferable fate. Unexpectedly, and diminutive magical

creature lands gracefully upon her shoulder. It is none other than one-one. Initially,

Mean-Ome mistakes the creature for a wild fragrance tracing feline. Soon, a familiar voice offers

her a winter coconut to nourish the tiny feline. Wherever one one goes,

disabled wounds soul follows diligently. The two of them joyfully feed the cat it's favorite treat.

Out of the blue, soul queries Mean-Ome about her decision to evade the sect entirely.

She believes that someone is gifted and resilient as soul could never truly comprehend her inner

turmoil.

Rumors abound that soul may soon become the youngest breath of the Sun alchemist in history,

while mean awe struggles even to attain the law of spirit energy without a master's guidance.

However, she has already gleaned the essential knowledge and even possesses a night in from

a superior magical beast.

Soul extends an offer to transform this night into an elixir for her use, feeling a deep

Empathy for her solitude, his eager to assist.

Mein ag gratefully accepts his offer,

recognizing that both she and Sol have lost their masters

at the stage of heavenly birth,

and it's their shared responsibility

to fulfill their untapped potential.

Sol is convinced that Mein ab possesses the potential

for greatness, our narrative now shifts to Zhang Siyogak,

the sex-vast library housing a wealth of records and books.

While the attendant does his off,

a child appears to recognize Sol.

Permission is granted for him to access the library, albeit with restrictions on the restricted section.

At Sola's level, he can borrow up to 100 books without removing them from the sex premises.

Sola will allow the attendant, Juan Péom, to return to his slumber while he embarks on his exploration.

Most sect disciples rarely frequent this sanctuary and grossed in their training.

However, the exceptionally talented soul stands out.

To Wang Pyeong's astonishment, it takes no time at all for Seoul to amass a towering stack of 100 books for borrowing.

Furthermore, he pledges to return every volume punctually.

To Seoul, the most precious aspect of being an outsider disciple of a prestigious sect

is not the material possessions, but the opportunity to access their library.

The true treasure of long-established sect lies within their books and records.

As you concocts elixirs, you can indulge in voracious reading.

Thus, the young man embarks on an intellectual quest. Two weeks later, the attendant is

astounded to learn that Seoul has already devoured the first batch of 100 books. The chant of black

eyes proves invaluable for this endeavor. It's a shame he can only hand a 100 books at a time.

Within one of the volumes, he stumbles upon an intriguing passage regarding the sex founder,

authored by a venerable elder. The founder, Moojang Yang, emerges mysteriously in the

the Yion province and overtime. Establishes the Mount White sect. In a martial duel, he

astonishingly defeats the Taoist Temple's leader using a technique eerily reminiscent

of the Song-Son sex methods. The Elder Harbor's suspicions about the founder's enigmatic background.

A sudden emergence to establish the province's premier sect. Before delving further, Seoul

halts his reading. For now, his focus is on crafting elixirs for Mina and Wanwan. Several

days later, the enigmatic book still haunts souls' butts. As usual, Wang Pyeong dozes off a library

counter. Seoul presents a high-class spirit stone to the young attendant, seeking information

about the elder and author of the book, John Hackbyon. He desires access to all of that man's

works. As he was an active elder during the sex-founders era, after some searching, Wang Pyeong

makes an intriguing discovery. Strangely, the book is listed in the restricted section, and

It was the SEC leader who ordered its relocation.

Such meticulous attention to details suggests a hidden motive.

Three books, accessible only to elders and higher ranking members.

Peak, souls, interest.

However, before leaving, Wang Pyeong proposed a plan to clandestinely acquire these books.

Seoul distains untrustworthy individuals, but Wang Pyeong emphasizes the potential consequences

for himself.

The price for this risky endeavor is set at five high-class spirit stones up front and an

an additional five upon securing the books. Wom Piyama Shura's soul of his reliability. Thus, the

heist unfolds on the first night of the month. The unattendant effortlessly retrieves the

three handwritten records. These documents shed light on the sex-initial rise to power and fuel

the elder's suspicions about the founder. It appears that a song-song sect elder had murdered

three sect members, and they had potentially stumbled upon a great treasure. Founder Moo John

young might have killed his comrades. Upon the author's return to the sect, the leader

had already departed, dedicating himself to becoming a true immortal. The man established

a thriving sect before disappearing, leaving behind an inexplicable mystery. Years had passed,

and the author hadn't been able to come up with answers, creating the Mount White sect had

benefited Mujang Yang at all. Everything about him seems suspicious. Even a signature white

Thundershot was just a variation of Song-Song's sex technique. It only clearly Elder had was a luxurious but restricted temple. Upon investigation, it was just a place kept clean for no apparent reason. A few decades passed, and the Elder had wasted years trying to find any traces of the founder. But before he passed away, he clung to the belief that the founder, Moo-jong-yun, could not be trusted. So will read all these accounts, knowing that they were recorded 7,000 years ago. He neither could nor wanted to continue the wild goose chase.

However, his curiosity was piqued by the restricted temple that the founder had left behind.

Just a short distance away, the luxurious temple still stood tall.

It was a restricted area with no guards, for now, one one would scout the place.

There was nothing unusual, even when scanned by the cat's nose.

There were just two portraits of the altar up front.

He thought that there might be something there, but that would be too obvious.

There was nothing unusual anywhere he looked, just like the elder back then.

He concluded that this was just some normal temple, but then he suddenly had the idea to try one last thing, the sacred needle of wisdom.

No woman menown we had managed to navigate the rift with this artifact.

At first glance, the needle pointed outside the temple, indicating a higher concentration of spirit

energy than the interior of the temple.

Maybe he had been thinking too small, and the secret was hidden in the entire restricted area.

Seeing the needle spin around frantically, so we'll decide to descend the cliff where the

temple was situated.

as he descended, the needle started pointing down into the snow. The wind of the termination cleared

it up and revealed a massive ice formation. It was no surprise that nobody had been able to find

this place. With his sword, so will forcefully chisel the ice away. When he carved out a hole,

the needle started spinning even faster. Down below, there was something weird inside a gray rock.

He fastened the debris with an inner-biming seal and slowly cleared everything out by pulling

it up. The mass of hole was clogged by this enormous grey rock. It was about time to go exploring

underground. So old and up the subterranean area of the small fire. It was a man made cave.

He thought there was something amazing inside, but he was only greeted with freezing cold air.

He hadn't felt this cold since he was a baby. The needle was spinning crazier the deeper he went.

To be safe, so old brought out the graceful shield. Finally, he happened upon old man and closed

This man was not one of the people in the temple portraits, though. The identity of this frozen old man was a big mystery, but the foot of this ice was a blue flower. Even one one couldn't bear its sheer coldness, so ill proceeded with caution, as this plant seemed like the source of the thick and cold energy.

Suddenly, multiple footsteps walked towards Seoul, asking him what he was doing down there. He had let his guard down, and now he was surrounded by unfamiliar faces of the sect elders.

bro, the old guys in this series need to mind their own business and retire. So will found himself in a highly complex situation, confronted by six elderly individuals.

These senior figures observed him intently, both parties anticipating the next move.

The young man proceeded to greet the elders as if nothing unusual were occurring.

This temple was an exceedingly forbidden place, not easily accessible.

As for the consequences of violating the entry rules, it included breaking the night in and amputating limbs,

With the tongue also being removed as an added measure. However, on a case-by-case basis, a sect leader could

exercise discretion to reduce the severity of the punishment. Seoul's fate rested in the hands

of one enigmatic old man. The leader was more inclined to reward than punish him for resolving a dilemma

that had troubled the old man for some time. The young man from the library had been secretly

reporting everything to the sect leader. Some disciples had attempted to locate this place but had failed.

Soil had uncovered a deeply concealed secret of the sect. It turned out that these elderly

companions had followed him down here with the intention of exploring the cave as well.

They were eager to put an end to this delay and pursue their goal. These senior individuals

were anxious to start searching for treasure as soon as possible. However, the leader was seeking

the frustration because of his strong desire to discover this place. If he were more powerful,

he might have eliminated everyone to secure the treasure for himself. Now he was compelled to

cooperate with others to explore the founder's secret. As for the young man who had discovered

the secret place, he could accompany them but would be treated as a captive. After a few moments,

nothing particularly remarkable was visible in this dull cave. The only thing that aroused everyone's

curiosity was the strange ice plant. They had no idea what it was. Therefore, taking it from the

frozen corpse and examining its seem like a logical step. An elder attempted to touch the plant

directly but immediately with true and fear. He was frustrated and angry at the leader for not warning him.

Almost freezing himself. It didn't take much for these elderly individuals to turn on each other,

pointing fingers and assigning blame. They turned a soul for answers as he was the one who had initially

stumbled upon the cave. He insisted that he had found this cavern purely by chance but suggested

infusing some spiritual energy into the plant. He even volunteered to give a try,

Using a third of his spiritual energy, there was no immediate response, but after a while,

the plant began to bloom slightly. Seeing a reaction, the elderly individuals looked on with

a mix of confusion and greed. They were all roughly equal and level, so none had enough energy

to fully activate the plant. The impatient Elder Seac, who had tried earlier, was determined to

give it another attempt. The leader halted Elder Seac and ordered the deployment of the

the Quadrenary Palace. All the elderly individuals pulled their spiritual energy into a single

channel and directed it toward the ice plant. Destroying the plant did not seem to be a concern,

as it continued to absorb their energy. This was no ordinary treasure. The leader could

already envision how it would benefit the sect. They pushed their limits to the point of exhaustion.

The ice crystal plant finally blossomed, resembling a mesmerizing flower, and revealed a clear marble inside.

The marvel possessed an inexplicable level of coldness.

One thing was certain.

It was not an elixir.

For now, further examination of this object was necessary.

The man encased in ice was thought out, presumably frozen upon contact with the ice crystal.

So we'll cover the man out of respect, but to everyone's surprise, he showed signs of life.

Elder Seyuk was eager to heal and interrogate the man immediately.

They even tied him up while they discussed their next steps.

So what was the only one who noticed that the frozen man had broken free?

The elders showed little regard or respect for the man, sitting arrogantly atop their high

horses.

However, the strange old man had become incensed at being awoken from his icy slumber.

Rule number one, don't mess with sleeping experts.

Judging by his energy and demeanor, this man is no ordinary individual.

It appears that even the man himself doesn't believe he was trapped in ice.

An asked if they were members of the Mount White sect, none John Woon introduced himself

as the 38th leader.

The Iceman mocked him for masquerading as a sect leader when he was merely a mid-level law

of spirit energy-new.

As for the Iceman, he went by the name Moo-Jang-Yong, his white hair and wrinkles suddenly vanished,

transforming him into a middle-aged man.

This situation deeply concerned the sex elders who suspected that this man was merely impersonating

the sex founder.

The soul remained cautious, if this man truly possessed the vitality of yin and yang alchemy.

He couldn't annihilate everyone in seconds.

The ice man didn't care if the elders believed him, but he couldn't forgive them for

interrupting his nap.

He had already decided to crush these worthless insects before him, sparing only the

one who had provided him with the elixir of purity and covered his body.

The elders remained skeptical of this tough act, while so will present it himself as the

one who had covered the man's body.

The town-jaw women insisted that they met no harm in only one of the marble and apology from the ice man.

This made him the primary target in Moojang Yang's eyes.

The guy drew a blinding sword from his chest.

A treasury inside the body indicated someone who had achieved the vitality of Yan and Yang.

The sound of knees hitting the ground echoed throughout the cave.

This man was undoubtedly the founder of the Mount White sect.

Moojang Yang himself.

The inferior sect leader desperately begged for forgiveness, groveling like never before

his life, but the founder was decisive and a single swing separated known Jowwim's head from his body.

The founder didn't tolerate a mid-level law of spirit energy practitioner sitting on his throne.

The other elders dared not utter a word as they knelt. They were at least better than the

moronic leader in the founder's eyes. Elder Seyuk, in particular, had provided him with the elixir

of purity. This monstrous man offered clemency to two out of the remain four elders, but there was

There was a catch, they had to eliminate each other, and the last two standing would be forgiven.

Desperate to live, the elders exchanged cautious glances.

If Moojanyang truly was a vitality of yin and yang expert, this gruesome situation might have

been unnecessary.

While many in witness some vitality of yin and yang tricks, it were uncertain of the man's

true capabilities.

Kill a defenseless man on his knees was a simple task.

Even now, the supposed founder was merely using the elder's fear, so so will intervene and

thank the man for sparing his life. The founder then corrected soul's assumption, stating that

showing mercy didn't mean sparing the young man's life. He wouldn't have to face the two

survivors of the elder royal rumble, so what was confident that the founder hadn't yet regained

his spiritual energy. He was using fear and dominance to manipulate them into eliminating each other.

So old drew the attention of the elders about to engage in combat, emphasizing that fighting would

be pointless if no one would be spared. Unifounder's piercing gaze didn't deter him. In retrospect,

It seemed the man wanted them all dead to prevent the truth from emerging.

Consequently, the founder ordered everyone to turn their blades towards Seoul.

This time, the young man of Retaliette pointing out that if the founder truly was the legendary

sec founder, it should be capable of killing Seoul with a single attack.

If the young alchemists survived that strike, they could unite against the overbearing man.

In that moment, he remembered his fifth master.

Faced with the founder's dragon like attack, he vowed to survive.

The initial strike was blinding, but Seoul managed to block it. However, three more attacks

followed, each blocked by Seoul's trusty shield. The fraudulent founder couldn't penetrate

his defenses. Moojang Yang was not the sect founder they worshipped. He was a fraud who had

not reached the legendary vitality of Yin and Yang level. Hurging the elders, he convinced

them to unite and confront the imposter. Seoul had said it all, but he barely survived using

every defensive technique at his disposal. Elder Siaq was the first respond to his call, urging

everyone to follow suit. Whether he was the sect founder or not, this man had attempted

to kill them all, leaving them with no choice but to fight back. It was now six against

one. There were no leaders or elders in the struggle. They needed to pool their strength

to challenge the tyranny before them. Mujang Yallan appeared ready to face them all at once.

If the elders were to execute the Quaternary Palace formation once more, they might have

chance against the cutting fraudster. However, this could also be their worst move against this

ancient trickster. The founder believes that using the Quaternary palace against him would be pure

comedy. After all, that technique is his legacy, and he only passed down skills without any real

impact. With all the fooling around and yapping, the elders eventually decided to go ahead and

execute the formation. They pooled their energies to unleash an unstable beam. In response,

Moojang Yang swiftly summoned a larger dragon apparition. The clash of these two powerful attacks was

straight out of Dragon Ball Z. The fraudulent founder realized he was being pushed back, a comical

situation for someone claiming to be an all-powerful being, struggling against a group of elderly men.

Elder Sea have understood what was happening and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

A yin and young alchemist of the founder's caliber shouldn't find themselves in such a situation.

Just one more thunderous shot and it seemed that Moojang Yang would fault his knees. Another attack from the

formation might do the job. The founder found himself in a tight spot, all because of the words of a

young man who had just woken up from a coma. His plans were already unraveling thanks to these

ants. This situation left in with no other choice but to reveal some of his trump cards.

These newcomers would likely be unable to fathom the arsenal he possessed. With a discovery of the

The marvel, even novice alchemists, could easily attain the vitality of yin and yang.

The elders were confident that they could figure out the marble secrets on their own, thinking

they held the advantage.

However, this shouldn't be possible because it was a treasure from the high ancient era,

a legendary item with many hidden secrets.

The high ancient era was so distant in the past that there were barely any records remaining.

Treasures from that time were far more valuable than anything found today.

In the formidable founder had only stumbled upon this item in a historical site. This mystical

plant was known as the Frostflower, renowned for its ability to absorb fragility and thrive

in cold environments. Moojang Yang scored the corners of Daywoo Nation for a location that

would suit the flowers meat, eventually settling on Mount White and the Forbidden Temple.

It took at least 10,000 years for the flower to bloom, so he prohibited anyone from entering

the grounds. Establishing the entire Mount White sect and making it the most prestigious

in the province was simply a security measure. Considering what transpired today, it seemed that this man

had been violated by these young individuals. Elders see it believe that the man was just stalling and recovering

his spiritual energy through all his talking. The marble was the Frost Pill, a concentrated form of

the flower's bloom. Due to the Elders interference, the pill couldn't develop properly and became

impure. Nonetheless, consuming this imperfect pill would instantly improve one's level. A proper

ever frost pill could elevate someone from the vitality of yin and yong to the coveted heaven's throne. It also

enhanced one's mastery of skills and movement. That possibility was now gone, and they could

only fight for an incomplete pill. While it was of no use to a true expert, it remained a priceless

treasure for newcomers, capable of elevating them to the breath of the sun instantly and effortlessly.

This revelation would undoubtedly spark greed among these elderly men. Civil, however, remains skeptical

as Mujan Jan had a reputation for mixing clever lies with tibits of truth. Whether it was lies or not,

this treasure had been zealously protected and nurtured by a true expert.

Now that it was useless to the founder, he was willing to give it to the luckiest recipient.

Elders Seauk was straightforward and simply wanted to deal with Mujan Jan first,

but the more calculating elders were pondering how to get their hands on the treasure.

Going all out into the founder might jeopardize their chances of acquiring the pill.

The priorities should have been obvious, but these elderly individuals were overly calculating.

Seeing a division forming within the group, Mujang Yang tossed the pill to Elder Cieck.

Hiss and Bea Lee triggered other elders to call them out.

All their relationships had gone out the window. The only thing that mattered was who would obtain the pill.

Not wanting to deal with the ensuing chaos, Elders Cieck tossed it to another elderly man.

One with nothing but greed and cunning in his eyes.

Thinking quickly, Elder-on acted as if Mu-jang-yang was making the move.

While everyone was distracted, he made a quick escape.

Now, everything had fallen apart, and all the elders could think about was stopping Elder-on.

They were all unwittingly dancing in the palm of the crafty schemer, Mu-jang-yang.

The founder might just be the greatest prankster.

The situation is escalated to a battle of elders against elders.

Elder-on may be attempting to flee with the treasure,

but his spirit energy has become unstable due to the Frost Flowers aura.

Consumed by the rage of such a deceitful act, Elder Seaak unleashed one of his powerful attacks,

taking that red bean from behind can't be healthy for you, Grandpa. The pill now lies on the

ground and Elder on his lifeless. Elder Seaak was on the verge of seizing the treasure. He simply

wanted to collaborate with his companions to confront the founder. However, a deadly blade was

already aimed at his head. He managed to evade it. Another elder, Elder Chin, proved to be no different from the rest.

He vehemently opposed anyone else touching the Frost Pill, which earned him a painful faceplant onto the ground.

Another elder arrived to assist Elder Cieck. As come to this, elderly individuals,

fighting amongst themselves for a supposedly priceless treasure. Greed has completely taken over,

and everyone desires to be the last alchemist standing. Meanwhile, the founder merely observed the

The Unfolding Chaos is if it were a comedy show, inquired of soul while he wasn't participating

in the bloodthirsty hunt for the Frost Pill.

He recognized that during a fray would be playing into the scammer's hands, however, there

was a genuine possibility that one of the elders might seize the pill and escape.

Soul will understood that the founder also possessed greed, so if you wouldn't willingly let

go of the Frost Pill.

Even this season expert was impressed by his self-control.

He retorted that, unlike Moo Zhang Yang, he wouldn't betray his brothers out of greed.

The founder suspected that there was something to miss with the elder who had written the ancient

book.

Thanks to that individual, Seoul had discovered this hidden location.

Thus, he was responsible for disrupting the founder's 10,000 years of cultivation.

At present, the foolish elders found themselves in a stalemate, reluctant to make sudden

moves.

Even they couldn't believe it had come to this point, but there was no turning back.

One of them must obtain the Frost Pill at any cost. Their standoff was interrupted by the founder's

hearty laughter. He simply wished for the spectacle to continue and for the elderly combatants to

eliminate each other. They ran no condition to contend with the founder anymore. Given the injuries

they hadn't flicked it upon each other, the root cause of all this chaos was the greed of the

now deceased elder-on. Elder-see-up could be willing to relinquish the Frost Pill to convince the

others to turn their weapons against the fraudulent founder. Once so old was the only one in prime

condition. They still had a chance and victory. If it was possible, it could reach an agreement

to deal with the founder first. However, no matter how one looked at it, this plan seemed reckless.

It was evident that the elders also wanted soul to exhaust a spirit energy in the fight.

Afterward, they would turn on each other again in pursuit of the treasure. These elderly

individuals had already abandoned their sanity, as everyone pondered their own thoughts

a newcomer entered the cave. The elders referred to this person as Senior Juan gone and he was met with a site of lifeless elders strewn about. No

endear to speak, for the elders themselves were responsible for the mess. Mujang Yang urged the newcomer to

also cove the treasure, seeing Juan gone as a stranger. He suspected that the founder was behind it all.

Even after introducing himself as the sex creator, he was dismissed as insane. Seeking answers,

Huang Gong turned a soul who briefly explained everything. The elders immediately attempted to save

themselves after being implicated. But at the end of the day, they were simply individuals blinded by the

allure of treasures. Mu Jiang Yang then proposed that the treasure could elevate a new like Huang

Gong to the level of vitality of Yan and Yang. However, the wise elderly man wasn't buying it,

to acquire the Frost Pill, one had to eliminate all others, and many elders had already fallen.

Huang Gong were part of the greedy elders, but they had to redeem themselves by eliminating the fraudulent founder and putting an end to his corrupting influence, and a cave full of old men. There's finally someone that can think like an adult.

Mujuan Yang planted the idea in the elder's mind that Huang Gong would eventually seize the pill after this. For now, a battle was inevitable.

Even with Huang Gong present, the greedy elders still couldn't divert their gaze from the Frost Pill. It seemed to beckon them.

These fools are truly lost their senses. Huang Gong unleashed an attack directly at the pill,

firmly convinced that a treasure capable of destroying the sect was nothing but an abhorrent object.

However, the treasure remained unscathed, standing the defiantly.

Not a single scratch marked its surface, an attack from even the most inexperienced practitioner

of the sonarts couldn't possibly harm it. With another adversary entering a fray,

Mujang Yang had no choice but to take action. Surprisingly, he produced a ball of blood elixir.

You'd have long gone found this unbelievable. The founder then swallowed the glob of blood and

immediately. The energy surrounding him underwent a profound transformation. Blood elixers were created

by consolidating minuscule spirit particles into one. A laborious process that used humans as its

primary ingredient. Hundreds of alchemists had to be sacrificed to produce a single pill,

Sometimes even requiring hundreds of thousands of lives, it's basically philosopher's stone from full metal alchemist.

The end result was impure and foul with drawbacks that would take years to recover from.

Yet, the founder willingly endured these side effects to annihilate everyone in that cave.

His presence had become an unsettling mix of ferocity and madness.

An overwhelming bloodlust permeated the cavern, so it attempted the first attack,

Utilizing every offensive talisman at his disposal, but it was effortlessly thwarted by a simple barrier.

The elders' tomb and regained their composure and unleashed their combined assaults.

Wangan even dawned his gloves.

Every attack they watched at the founder was repelled by the impenetrable shield.

All their efforts were futile.

A flawless defense was now complemented by the founder's manchung swords of offensive prowess.

A single swing filled everyone with dread and despair.

A sheer force threatened to bring the underground cavern crumbling down.

Two more elders met their demise and soul, would likely not have survived a direct hit.

Huang Ghan remained standing, albeit wounded.

He retrieved something from his chest, radiating the golden glow.

His determination to vanquish Mu-juan Yang burned intensely.

Huang Ghan aimed to conclude this battle with one full-force strike.

To achieve this, he needed soul to break through the impenetrable spirit barrier first.

The young alchemist complied without hesitation, employing everything at his disposal.

His confidence and determination clashed with the formidable barrier.

So we'll refuse to yield, especially when Huang God amassed a colossal reservoir of spirit

energy for his final assault.

The young man unleashed every artifact and expended all his energy reserves.

Even the last remaining elder exhausted his power to bolster Huang God.

Now was the moment the final showdown in the underground cavern reached its climax, with

only three combatants remaining. The barrier dissipated as the founder was compelled to concentrate

on defending with his ethereal sword. It fits clad in a black glove versus an otherworldly

blade, who would emerge victorious, an explosion reverberated throughout the area, leaving the

founder severely injured but still defiant. Wangan, on the other hand, had met his end alongside

his faithful glove. So old lay on the ground, his condition uncertain. Mujang Yang chuckled to

him self, leaving it finally exterminated these bothersome pests. 10,000 years had passed,

but he now faced the prospect of meeting 10,000 more. His preparations for the gnome soul creation

technique would take an extensive period. And yet, he had been wounded by insects who wouldn't

oppose if threat during his prime. Starting a new and refining his breakthrough might no longer

be feasible. However, Saul had awakened, retaining enough energy to activate the destruction's

sword arts. Using the dark countercurrent, three blades soared through the air,

skewering the man who had been on the cusp of immortality. The cavern had witnessed nothing but

carnage, and our boy emerged triumphant. Shout out to the elders, they helped a little bit.

Battered, bleeding, and severely injured. Woon's soul struggled to rise,

paying course through his body as he breathed heavily. He reached for a sword on the ground,

extracting it near the lifeless body of the founder. Having endured the cruelty and

cunning of this old man. He decided to swing the sword once more for good measure. The blade

struck straight through the head, with a burning amulet. That's a straight up mortal combat fatality.

From this point forward, he had no allegiance to the sect and its elders, that he owed his victory

over the founder to them. In the end, so will emerge with Moojangyong's cherished sword and the Frost

Flower. He emerged from the hellish depths of the underground into the open sky. The Mount White

Seth had lost nearly all of his relevant assets, and their future appeared bleak.

It was only a matter of time before the rest of the organization discovered his involvement.

First, he resolved to attain fresh attire, and quickly healed his minor injuries.

Many had perished in pursuit of the frost pill, and now soul held it in his hands.

His next move remained uncertain.

Consuming it directly might prove fatal, as one one had trembled and flood upon seeing the pill.

However, Saul noticed something peculiar. This pill had been crafted using the river of thirst and string crossmanship. Utilizing his knowledge of string crossmanship, he could hold the pill without succumbing to its coldness.

The founder had claimed that this pill elevated one's alchemical abilities to new heights. If Saul could absorb it with string crossmanship, it would undoubtedly propel him to a new level. With the Frost pill being incomplete, he had a limited window for absorption. He placed it in his mouth and it instantly began freezing him from within.

within. Soil concentrated his spiritual power directly into his head to combat the cold.

This controlled cold energy spread throughout his body's every crevice. In the initial stages,

it demanded everything from him. All he could do was trust in the power of string craftsmanship

to guide him through the process. After a while, Naza set in and his grip weakened. The

energy within his head reached its peak state. He had made it just in time, persevering

just enough. It had been a close call, but he had overcome it. Now, he needed to reactivate his string craftsmanship.

The next step was absorbing the remaining frost to awaken his night in. His chant of black ice also helped ward off paralysis.

If someone had consumed this pill directly, they would have frozen to death within seconds. Fortunately,

so all possessed the means to absorb it gradually and safely. He couldn't discern how much time had passed,

but he had absorbed it all. It appeared that the founder hadn't lied about one thing.

and a measurable spiritual power now flowed through him.

Within his mental palace,

he could finally attempt to breach the doors

to the breath of the sun.

This breakthrough differed from his previous ones,

he would need to give everything he had to make

this door submit.

An infusion of his newly enhanced spiritual energy

began to dismantle the impenetrable door in his mind.

After a few adjustments and an overwhelming force,

so will finally shatter the gate.

A successful breakthrough and volupt his body

with an energy he had never wielded before,

was time to take flight and leave this place,

and achieve the level of a four-star breath of the sun.

He had improved every aspect of his alchemical expertise,

rising to the upper echelons of experts.

For now, he would return to the Mount White sect

to assess the situation.

A year had passed, and it appeared that he was not yet

on a wanted list as he received a warm welcome.

However, the bodies of the elders and leaders

had been discovered.

For now, he decided to check on the new leader.

He introduced himself respectfully to the new top authority. The 39th sect head of Mount Wight was

Tom John 1, and they were hanging on by a thread. The Iron Rock sect had been targeting their

disciples after rumors of their decline spread. There was a competition against the Iron Rock

sect scheduled for next month, and these individuals aimed to bring about Mount Wight's downfall.

Mount Wight faced coercion to accept a penalty of closing their doors for a thousand years

if they lost. There was a straightforward solution to this dilemma, let wounds soul participate.

Right, let the boy cook. Mount White Sec won't have any high-class alchemists for the

upcoming matches. Normally, he wouldn't care too much, but he still wants to fulfill the

rest of his duties to senior Huang. So, he's taking part in this competition. The new

leader felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders after hearing that. After

some habling, the two sects have agreed on a 500-year closing upon losing. Ten people from

each sect are going to participate. If the Iron Rock Sec starts losing, they'll undoubtedly

bring out bongong, a breath of the sun alchemist. But now Mount White lacks the manpower to even

fill up 10 slots of alchemists with decent power. So we'll just assured the head that he'll do

his best. The number of people in the sack has also noticeably decreased. Many are still recovering

from the Iron Rock sex bullying. This reminded him of Mina, the Kainyone Lady Akyumeen.

She was wounded in the last spar against the dubious sect. Akyumeen's internal wounds are not

looking good. The only explanation for her injury is that she fought until she ran empty,

without a single drop of energy left. And her case was not isolated at all. The wickedness of the

iron rock sect is deplorable. Upon arriving at this place, no one had noticed that Seoul had reached

the breath of the sun level, of on reaching the vitality of Yin and Yang. One's cultivation level

becomes obvious. For now, you can finally do what he wasn't able to do in the past, making use of the

true somebody fire. After some time, he tended to acu-meen, and she finally regained consciousness.

She woke up to soul's face and voice. He also handed her a nine-leaf healing elixir,

especially useful for healing internal wounds. He concocted this pill for her and the other injured

disciples. So well made a point of assuring acu-meen that she'd give her best, that she had done

well, and it was admirable. After relentless bullying from the enemy sect, it was the first time

she had heard such kind words in a while. She really did give it her all, but it wasn't enough.

Soul's words gave her some much needed comfort, and thanks to the elixir he gave her,

Akyomi reached the last stage of heavenly birth. And one more thing, he wanted to give her a case of

healing elixirs, given that she's internally injured a lot of the time. Akyomi couldn't help

but feel like she was always indebted to this man. The mountainous area known as the flying peaks

would be the venue for the upcoming matches. The remaining experts of the Mount White sect arrived

the promise place. Of course, that included Soul himself. Everyone's on their toes because the sex fate is at stake.

Everyone probably has little hope for where they'll be after this contest concludes. It really is a disaster to

add insult to injury, the iron rock sect is running late, and they're doing it on purpose. Some are hoping that

they don't show up at all. The provincial inspector alchemists are probably en route along with the enemy sect.

They should have a variety of techniques to show. Soul is eager to see what they have out their sleeves.

It was said that the iron rock sex admission and withdrawal system is one of the laxxest.

Many high-class alchemists tend to gather for the prospect of benefits and freedom there.

Their system is quite unique, and it's very effective, just from the size of their forces.

Speaking of the devil, the iron rock sex has finally arrived.

As expected, the referee for this duel is marching with them.

They're shamelessly parading their collusion.

They must be careful with their actions and not give that disgusting inspector something to nitpick.

but the head had no choice but to show respect,

asking for clean and fair fights.

The inspector is peddling fairness

while looking like an absolute crook.

Imagine pulling up to a game in the referee

is wearing the opponent's uniform.

As for the rules, it'd be a race to 10 matches,

and alchemist stays on the field until they lose.

This brings Mount White to a disadvantage

as the head believes that they're no match

against the enemy breath of the sun expert.

Woods solo shouldn't even be here

as he's just an outsider disciple,

not required to participate. Accumine thinks that he'll ultimately end up getting injured

at this rate, but the participation of the enemy's breath of the Sun alchemist, everyone

in Mount White thinks they're done. They're just clueless about the dark horse, wound

souls' plans. They didn't waste time and started the contest right away. The first few

fights ended as expected, with Mount White's sect disciples' faces on the ground. The iron

rock sect is just ruthless. On top of that, the provincial inspector is blatantly one-sided,

Not even giving a warning for violent attacks, those referees are breath of the sun alchemists,

and they're not stepping in.

If this goes on, they will just get wiped off the map without a fight.

The difference in average power is just too wide, but there are still disciples who want

to fight for the sex sake.

The odd-looking man from the Iron Rock sect will be facing the intense looking of Jonyo.

The odd-looking fella, Mack Hanley, insulted the quality of the enemy sect.

In his sect, they are ranked based on pure skill, and he's just someone on the lower ladder.

It would be disgraceful if Mount White Sec gets swept by the first three enemies, with his grim-looking

spear.

Yukchionyo steeled his resolve to give his everything for the sect.

He rushed in just so he could give Woon's soul the space he needed.

The first attack ended up hitting nothing.

MacHami is already on top of him, reading a camera attack.

A green finger beam pierced through Yukchionyo's shoulders.

He's being pelted by damage away from his strike zone, and the mischievous enemy is not even fighting him seriously.

Yucchangyo is going for the second wave of attack with his barrier on.

This time, he blocked the green beam and slashed his spear.

Even with a long-range attack, his strike was dodged.

He can't read the enemy's movement, and Macombi is already lurking behind.

Another green beam was fired off as he barely got his barrier up on time.

A few more of those annoying attacks have riddled Yucchangyo with wounds all over his body.

The brutality was too much to bear for Mount White's sect disciples.

The representative is being beaten up and is just trying his best to stay on his feet.

That just goes to show how persistent Mount White's sect is.

The enemy has absolutely no intention of ending the fight, even though Yukjonyo is in a grave condition.

They are aiming to trample Mount White's spirits completely.

As soon as Yukjonyo lost grip of his consciousness, Macomme was announced as the winner.

The odd-looking man's over-the-top violence has finally earned him a warning.

The sick leader looked on to Seoul to finally go up, reminding him to forfeit right away

if the fight gets too tough.

He then jumped onto the stage.

Mac calmly asked that he was disheartened by the last display of beat down, but Seoul was just

lost and fought, thinking of ways he could take the man down.

Mac calmly was annoyed and promised to dish out twice the pain he had given earlier, so

Seoul didn't even get into his fighting stance, he's just going to take the attack while standing

still.

The enemy wanted to toy with him with shadow clone art, torturing him slowly and painfully

before ending the fight.

The first green beam oddly landed far from soul.

Thinking it was a coincidence, Macombi fired more and nothing landed anywhere near Seoul's

body.

He'd been dodging every attack with no visible movement at all.

If that's everything that the enemy has, then Soul might as well move as fast as light

in behind the enemy and attack with no mercy from the back.

Mac Haunley wasn't expecting that as he was racked with pain.

The sicklier was surprised as well.

No one saw what happened with how fast it all went down.

Wu's soul just took his first blood.

That's literally light work and a reaction for him.

Just to escape this nightmare,

Mac Haunley raises hand and forfeited immediately.

To exact some much needed revenge,

Stell will reach his hand out while gathering spirit energy.

He didn't touch Haunley's body

and a painfully cold sensation spread throughout his body.

The referees then stepped in, given that the fight was supposed to be over. Judging from the intensity

of the Frost Key, Hami might take decades just to recover from the internal damage.

Woon's soul was declared the winner with a warning not to go overboard. His extraordinary

skill was gradually being revealed to the world for the first time. The second leader had heard

of his capabilities, but he was just too good. Accumie watched for the longing to become stronger

and fight like her senior brother Woon, as soul whooped another so-called expert. She lamented

Not being able to fight alongside him. Opponents fell one after another with simple well-timed strikes. It made it ackeumine want to become strong like him. It made her want to win and never lose. It motivated her to train harder and fallings footsteps. Still, she didn't want her senior brother to push too hard. Now, all that's left is the Iron Rock sex breath of the sun alchemist. The expert frankly didn't think that it'd come to the point where he'd need to step up to the plate. The man's name is Ma Jju, an expert in the Iron Rock sex.

womb soul returned that introduction with a respectful one of his own.

Mangeju wanted to assure him that the Mount White-Sex doors would be closing today,

when soul clapped back the old timer labeled him as young the innocent.

The old man is way too confident that he has this in the bag,

even going as far as recruiting soul to the iron rock sect

instead of fighting a losing battle.

The young man is indebted to Mount White,

and he intends to follow through with her pain this dead today.

Given that Mangeju has a reputation to protect,

he won't be going easy today. It thinks that Sewell is just an overconfident breath that can be

crushed. With that in mind, the young alchemist can finally let loose. Somebody has swords,

including the founders Blade, the fight has officially started. His earlier spiral bombs were just

for backup. He's a sword user, through and through. Now, he will be facing the old man with all his

might. The senior then prepared to take out his weapon as well. It turns out that he's a dual axe

expert. Three treasures swords versus two ornate golden battle axes, which one will stand on top. For now,

so old will just defend. He intends to hide his true strength even now.

His barrier was strong and his movement was fluid, but the axes were homing in on him.

The weapon then manifested two golden spirits that fire off golden beams. It was even faster and

stronger than mac homies attacks. So old had no choice but to pull out some of his cards,

A wide array of amylates flew towards his opponent. The old man easily blocked everything with his

barrier though, up max where his three swords hidden by the explosion of dust. This too was anticipated by

the combat veteran. Above that level of magic barrier, these blades are still penetrating through

little by little. With all these diverse experiences, Ma Jju has never seen a level of craftsmanship

this high, while he's busy being in awe and trying not to get skewered, so he'll launch his a few spiral

bombs that throw him off. The Frost Key in the young man's attacks is quite troubling. If worse comes to worst, the Old Man

might have to go all out in one move. Disregarding defense altogether, Ma Jaiju is going in hard, with the spirit barrier

down. A chance is open for soul. The touch of mist has limited the vision within the field. The fog has also started

conjuring with the Frost Key, disrupting the Old Man's control. Getting rid of this fog is a must. The

The old man is still headstrong and confident that he'll come out on top.

Once so old doesn't see it that way though.

As soon as the fight started, the conclusion had already been written.

Perhaps he was too late to perceive it, perhaps he was too slow.

The prideful mod, J.U. has been surrounded by multiple blades in different angles.

He had only except his fate with created teeth.

The winner of the fight between the iron rock sect and the mount white sect has finally

been crowned.

Every disciple of the white mountain cheered at the top of their lungs.

Her savior wound soul has brought them a massive deltyu. After that event, the first

wants to hear where, of course, the bileks sin sect. Sheo Bing is trying to keep up to date

with whatever wound soul is up to, and her interest in him is only growing. Perhaps another

meaning between the two is an order. She's prepared to offer Mr. wound a deal of a lifetime

you won't be able to reject. Knowing this girl, it'll either be super good or super bad. As

pretty agreement reached during the visit by provincial inspectors, the iron rock sect

must remain closed for the next 500 years. Any sect members found outside their jurisdiction will

face sanctions. Monjeju was compelled to acknowledge souls concealed skills, which had taken the old man

by surprise. This unexpected revelation had finally silenced an antagonist who had previously been

rather contentious. The old man also understood that a loser's words were merely excuses,

so he accepted his punishment gracefully. The disciples of the Mount White sect appeared rejuvenated

with Soul's victory, as he left the sect, a familiar, sweet voice called out to him.

Ak Yomin wanted to congratulate him on his appointment as a guest elder of the sect.

Now that he was an elder, he would occupy Elder Siyuk's position. She had come to guide into his new dwelling,

and nearby, there was a place known as Suuem Peaks, where he could harvest sacred herbs.

He expressed gratitude to Ak Yomin for introducing him to the location.

Finally, he had a workspace to repair his elegant shield and armor using beast parts.

Rumors of Seoul rumored to be a master of the spirit energy alchemy, sweeping through the iron rock sect,

including defeating their breath of the sun expert, had spread like wildfire. Many initially found these

rumors too ridiculous to believe, while when they were proven true, they had a profound impact on the

entire Yan and province. Meanwhile, Seoul was calmly repairing his equipment and honing his crafting

skills. He was now ready to practice creating precious talismans. He received word of a visitor,

A highly renowned figure from the Yan and Province. However, the vague description didn't immediately

bring anyone to mind. It turned out to be shelving, the leader of the Khujun branch of the Bao Ksten sect,

who first congratulated him on his promotion to Elder, recognizing it as a well-deserved achievement

for saving the sect. Soul had not expected her to follow him all the way to the White Mountains,

considering he hadn't heard from her since the quest for the seven silver-scale snake. Now,

she was aware of his victory against a breath of the Sun alchemist. Before anything else, she had a

question for him. While so old possessed impressive techniques, defeating a true expert as a law of

spirit energy alchemist seemed impossible. He had no intention of providing further explanations.

Xiaoping had strong suspicion that he was concealing his true level, a belief shared by many others.

He preferred to get to the heart of the conversation. With the iron rock sex impending downfall,

one of Showbane's problems was resolved. After this, the Bauk sin sect would have access to

numerous freelance alchemists to hire. Thanks to Sol's actions, she could finally pursue the

largest concentrated spirit land in the Daewu Nation, known as the untroversable poisonous lands.

As the name suggested, this land teamed with deadly herbs, insects, and beasts, all capable of

delivering fatal toxins. She had previously sent him to deal with a venomous magical beast as a test.

A recent survivor had reported the presence of humans with unfamiliar alchemical techniques and a variety of treasures. The

Baoqson's sect had decided to mount an expedition. While so well wasn't initially interested,

Shobing mentioned the missing breath of the sun's seniors from the Mount White sect,

which were spotted near the lands. If so well participated in the mission,

she also promised to provide him with diaries of the alchemist from another continent.

This peak is interest. She can offer to send him a manuscript copy for his examination.

There was something susty about her eagerness for the poisonous lands, but it was an offer

he couldn't refuse.

I low-key like their twisted relationship.

For now, he decided to revisit the Yee-famine manner.

Lady Yee had not been neglecting her cultivation and recognized their indebtedness to soul.

The elders and the leader warmly welcomed him, and he also sought out his senior sister.

The only one who would see that he had broken through the breath of the sungate.

She had made progress with her own abilities.

for Lady Ye, something appeared to be bothering her, though no one would provide an explanation.

Machiam could only limit for her poor junior brother's sake. It appears that this issue is related

to him, but Machiam wasn't sure if she should be the one to inform her junior brother. That's

because Seoul and Lady Ye are supposed to be married. However, he's about to lose his wife as

Lady Ye and Sui have been growing closer and are now engaged. Sui was kicked out by the

the E family had a few times, but they eventually got approval, even though they were just

a fake couple, this was something he hadn't expected.

For now, he just wants to offer his congratulations. He also wanted to talk to his senior

sister about the expedition to the poisonous lands. It's a dangerous place full of uncertainties,

but if he plans to go, Machiaom would wholeheartedly follow him. He might have reached the

breath of the sun level, but his senior sister is still at risk of not making it out alive

from that place. She really wants to join him if he's determined to go, though. He wanted to insist that this

is related to the Mount White sect, but that didn't seem to deter her. This is his only way of stopping her from

joining him prematurely. If it really is about the sect, she can't just butt her head in. With Shadowbings

mysterious plans and the danger of the lands, it's better if Machiaen doesn't tag along. For now,

all he wants is to have a spar with his favorite sparring partner. Machiaen is not one to refuse

a challenge from a true expert. A few days later, we find ourselves at the infamous poisonous lands.

From its entrance, Noxius gas is already everywhere. Only breath of the sun alchemists can disregard the

poison fog, so that they distribute to toxins. With the washful eye of the baoq sinsect, it's better for

soul to hide his true level. True Jazong has been hired for his expertise in poison and experience.

Soul has checked the manuscripts that Beckran had given him, but there's still something else bothering him,

As he was waiting for the party to enter, the senior he defeated at the Iron Rock sect,

Ma Jaiju, surprisingly, was part of the expedition. They are like two friends reunited in an unexpected place.

Right now, the senior has become a freelance alchemist with his brother.

They are optimistic that this trip will be fruitful, given that Lord Shell being has arranged everything.

Besides, there are some breath of the Sun alchemist here. The purely hairless Yom Jang is one of them,

and he's undoubtedly the quiet type. For now, so we'll just want to get his detox

It didn't take too long for the expedition to formally start. "Majayju's brother took the lead and no one objected." "Majayju praised soul for getting you stronger since they fought. They speak formally, but the admiration for each other's skills is evident." As the two were conversing, a blood-curdling scream echoed nearby. One of their teammates had been infected by a toxin for a finger. He was pricked by a poisonous thorn. The red leaf plant nearby might look harmless, but it's poisonous. Thankfully, Chu Joss said. "I'm going to try to get you a very nice

song carries an antidote for this one. Jassan with a clutch is a big W. Plant that can

threaten alchemists are all over the place. This one doesn't affect soul, though, so he might

as well take some for later. He's built up in immunity to all kinds of poison to back up his

poison knowledge. Ma J.J. was glad that he could rely on the young man in this place. There are

15 Law of Spirit Energy alchemists and 3 Breath of the Sun alchemists on their roster. It's going

If you're hard to keep track of everybody in this thick poisonous fog, as they were quietly

walking through the sinister woods, every expert worth their salt felt that something was

all simultaneously.

From a distance, there's a fearsome presence lurking, and it quickly multiplies.

The vanguard warns everyone to be on guard and get ready to battle.

Everyone brings themselves for the incoming attack.

Someone led the team to stick close to each other so they could defend better.

It didn't take too long for the enemies in the dark to charge at them.

In front of them we're disgusting looking flying magic bugs. I'd be out of there as fast as

humanly possible, not going to lie. Most of the party was unaware of what these bugs were,

but one thing was certain. The horde was coming for them and it was coming fast. No matter

how you look at it, there were just too many of these insects to deal with. For now, so

will someone his shield to prepare his defense. They must make the call whether to retreat

or fight right away. One look at that horde and the word retreat would just come naturally

every one stuck close to each other as they made a run for it. A board their respective flying tools the expedition faced its first major challenge. Magic bugs are known to go around in swarms and fighting this many will work. But the thing they didn't think about was the swarms outstanding flying speed. If they wanted to get out of here in one piece, they were going to have to bite the bullet and fight. Even the veteran Chu Jiao song had never encountered this type of bug before.

The law of spirit energy alchemists had to stand behind. While the breath of the sun experts went to the front lines, they might not know much, but the fact that bugs are weak to fire should be common sense.

So, the higher level alchemists prepared to face the brunt of the magic bugs. Soil also prepared his blazing spiral bombs. The explosion of flames mid-air was the signal for the battle start.

start. To know when surprise, the true sub-body fire was cooking these bugs, but so was simple spiral bombs weren't

working as he intended. Some of the insects stuck close to his barrier. These were golden-toothed locusts,

they're known to chew up anything alive. They could even eat through spirit barriers,

and the most fearsome aspect is their numbers. For now, he can only unleash some frost key into the air.

He managed to slow them down a bit, but these locusts were moving at such abnormal speeds in the first

place. These bugs shouldn't be able to catch up to even the law of spirit energy alchemists,

and yet screams asking for help echoed throughout the forest. The weaker alchemists and their

meter shields couldn't hold on much longer. They kept begging for help, but the experts were

busy defending themselves too. At this rate, everyone was going to die being drowned by bug bites.

To help everyone. So old took out some golden flags and shot them down to create a formation.

He wouldn't mind traveling alone, but he couldn't let these people get slaughtered so early.

Saul unleashed the imaginary element formation spell to deal with the swarm.

His words echoed throughout the area, calling everyone to follow his voice for safety.

They tried to fly towards Saul's otherworldly announcement, and everyone who got close to

the perimeter was pulled into protection.

In Saul's formation, they could calm down and release their spirit barriers.

But the job wasn't done, there were still plenty of alchemists fighting for their lives.

In this apocalyptic looking bug-infested sky, so well managed to rest you one alchemist after

the other.

Even the other breath of the sun experts were overjoyed by this outstanding formation.

Everyone who could be saved was safe thanks to the young man.

Only nine law of spirit energy alchemists made it out.

They weren't even that deep into the territory and it was already this dangerous.

The people knew that so well was skilled, but they still couldn't help but praise him.

He just took the compliments with grace and humility.

for Chu Jossong, the man looked like he had lost hope already, and he had the most experience

in this area. In the three months he spent on this land, it was the first time he had experienced

something this dangerous. This journey was proving to be tougher than they had thought, even

just continuing the expedition was being put into question, if they were hired by another Lord,

then that wouldn't be a problem. But they were working for Lord Shabbing. The daughter

Another of the Lord leading the entirety of Baoq's sin sect definitely had some spoiled princess vibes.

So we'll heard about the woman's background for the first time, now it made sense how

she held such a high position at a young age without outstanding skills.

It was challenging to cancel something organized by shelving as she despised when things didn't

go her way.

In the skies outside their formation, the sworn finally began to show signs of movement.

The golden two locusts were retreating and the formation had performed admirably as a new

alchemist in the baoq sin sect, two jasong have received some advice. The concern was that if something

akin to the bug swarm happened, everyone would withdraw from the land and even shalbeng wouldn't have

control. She had brought yam jang and qjasong here, so so will remain cautious for now and that could

continue exploring the lands. And if anyone wanted to leave, no one would blame them, though returning

safely on their own was tricky. Keeping that in mind, no one chose to abandon the mission. The lead

The alchemists also announced that the mission would halt the threat as serious as the bug swarm reappeared, so, as the sun rose, the expedition continued.

Along the way, Majeju hunted some beasts as to everyone else.

In this place, the results were mediocre compared to the effort they put in.

The mission appeared grim.

It would only be worthwhile if they could plunder the treasures of the people of the poisonous land.

Over a month had passed, and only ten of them remained.

Soil had been secretly collecting sacred herbs and spirit stones, but it was far from enough, and there were still no signs of made of inhabitants.

Chujasong, the odd one, approached him and asked if he was getting bored. Kill this man just for being sus. In a place full of deadly threats, warden was far from his mind.

However, Soil was puzzled why Chujasong was making small talk with him. The odd one revealed that many men from distinguished organizations were sent here because of some descendants.

But locals of this poisonous land were known as the descendants of the Valley of Secrets. What

puzzled soul was that Chujasong's hands seemed to be getting darker over time. The names of the locals

have been erased by time, and no one should know of their existence. However, Cho being an

orchestrated this expedition around it somehow. Chujasong insisted he was just a small part of a larger

plan. But the core forces from the sect had already taken action him on the go. If that was the

case, their group wasn't part of the core forces. This meant the chances of obtaining the

memoirs were low from the start. The sun experts would be furious if they knew they were deceived,

but even if they knew nothing would change. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't

challenge the mighty Baoq's sin sect. The odd one was deliberately sharing this information with

soul as prick-show-bings orders. Chu Joss-Aun even offered to bring him to the core forces if asked

politely. The odd one approached the freelance alchemist leader, senior Jong, and proposed to lead

the way, as he had been here before. This was a glimmer of good news after some time, and it was welcomed.

True Jossong led the group at their usual pace, solo remained vigilant, still feeling suspicious.

Two Jossong guided them skillfully, even though the fawn obstructed their view. They emerged from the woods and

light finally bathed them. They arrived at a seemingly normal area. It was an ideal place to rest before

continuing their journey in the next day. So we'll plan to sneak away while everyone rested,

But Maje you noticed his unusual behavior. Soil claimed he was just going to explore, but the veteran

wanted to join him. Seeing that Soil wasn't welcoming company, the old man reminded him to be careful,

no matter how skilled he was. After a short walk, Soil found a suitable location to execute his

plan. With a high jump, he soared into the air with a smile on his face. It felt refreshing to be

alone for a while. In his hand, he held the sacred needle of wisdom pointing westward. He had arrived

in a place brimming with spiritual power, indicating the potential presence of stronger poison.

A strong scent behind him revealed a supreme chrysanthemum. It appeared as a beautiful flower,

but was highly toxic. Nevertheless, this was a fortunate discovery. So old, something went on high alert

as he sensed something lurking in the background. To his surprise, it resembled an ordinary deer.

He continued his task, carefully extracting the flower. Only then did he realize that

but normal animals shouldn't be able to survive in these lands.

The deer had seen vanished into thin air.

It was no ordinary deer.

It was a shameless thief that had snatched the Supreme

Chrysanthemum right from his grasp.

The economy is so bad, even Bambi has to rob people.

The criminal thief deer ran with all its might

while clutching the Supreme Chrysanthemum in its mouth.

Womsoil realized that this wasn't just an ordinary deer.

A deer that bites someone to score some poisonous herbs

is insane.

On top of that, it's as fast as lightning as it heads for the fog.

It was forced to summon the inner binding seals to catch the deer, as if it had intelligence,

the deer noticed the incoming technique.

It ultimately ended up getting caught, though.

But even with the binding, the beast is way too strong for how ordinary it looks.

To stop its resistance entirely, a bigger and stronger net was necessary.

Now, it's finally captured.

As so we'll wonder what was going on, the animal started transforming.

who sees this would be shocked, no doubt. It was a human all along, no wonder it had those freaky

intelligent eyes, looking at the situation. So will appears to have just trapped a feeble young girl

in a net. For now, he aimed his blades at the girl, warning her not to do anything suspicious with

her pockets. He just wants the flower, and then they'll be on good terms. But instead of a peaceful

resolution, so old is now being accused of being the thief. The audacity of this young lady knows

no bounds. She's convinced he's the thief. It turns out that she planted and nurtured this

treasure only for some guy to dig it up, but Seoul is not backing down, no one should be able to

claim ownership of anything in these poisonous lands. But the girl insists that she'd

grew the Supreme Chrysanthemum with her heart and soul. It even took her 20 years to get it to its

current stage. She doesn't look like she's lying though, that softened Seoul a bit, and he conceded

the flower. But if it took her 20 years to cultivate, then that means she's a local here. Suddenly,

She immediately changed her stance just to get sold to stop pressing her about her origin.

She would willingly give up something she spent decades on just to avoid the man prying into her

background further. This is not about the Supreme Chrysanthemum anymore. There are more important

things at stake now. He might have just encountered a descendant of the Valley of Secrets,

and it seems the locals don't take kindly to strangers scurrying their lands. She thinks he's

on the same side as the so-called evil people. The girl is finished talking now, she'll use force

if she must, and that force came in the form of a sinister dark green dust raging towards

soul, which he scattered around using the wind of determination. The dust wasn't only

deflected, it was blown back to where it came from. The mysterious lady jumped a dodge or

deflected attack. What follows are the flying swords and souls arsenal. It flew towards

her with the intent to suppress. Suddenly, she summoned some spider monsters out of nowhere

to block the attack. Like the great conch spider, he once encountered, these arachnids looked

terrifying. She ordered her six-layed friends to let their golden webs go wild. These strings are

stronger than even criminal-binding ropes, and he must deal with two web-slinging monsters. They evolved

one one as perfect for the job of cutting through this incoming sticky attack. He transformed into his

wild form and billowed a thunderous attack. It tore the golden webs to pieces in mid-air and didn't even

reach soul. One went easily dealing with a higher-grade magic beast was too unbelievable for the

the lady. So, we'll finally got the chance to get a word in. He just wanted to know why the

bowlak sin sect was chasing the locals. But the young lady is too starved to talk to him. As he was trying

to get some information from her, so we'll felt something coming from behind. One energy signature is

in the law of spirit energy, and the other is at the breath of the sun stage. They're coming

from the camp he just left. He vehemently warned the young lady to transform back into a

deer and withdraw her spiders. She was highly doubtful that so old was just trying to catch her

slipping. But she had no other choice. Running when only get her caught in no time. The two people arrived. It was

Shujasong and the quiet expert Yum. The duo had no clue what was happening and they only saw soul and a deer. Of course, the best actor,

womb soul, played dumb and tried to gaslight the duo the only out of place element here is the deer. Thinking on the fly, the young

man claimed that the deer was just food for his magic beast. Even brought out one one to back that claim up.

The fragrant tracer feline is quite a magnificent magic beast, so his story is easy to buy.

Even the cat has gotten into character, trying to bully the deer.

True Jossum also spotted the precious poisonous herb on the floor, he admitted to digging

the flower up, expecting a hefty price for it.

So old and turned the questions onto the duo for following him all the way out here.

It's very simple, they're just doing the mission, finding the descendants of the Valley

of Secrets.

On Chujasans' first expedition, he saw a local in a foggy place like this too.

So we'll try to get their noses out of the trail though.

But this weirdo over here looks and acts equally suspicious.

You know something that young master wounds soul of doesn't.

The value of secrets contains extremely peculiar people.

They are dubbed Blue Eyes Purple Hair.

They're shine and glow are more apparent under the sun.

Through special sorcery, they can also transform into a variety of animals, transforming

also enhances their abilities.

So they're basically super-powered furries. Chu Jossong found it hard to believe at first

too, until he saw it for himself. Back then, he even caught one of the locals. He looked like

a leopard and then transformed into a beast. They tried some mild methods to get information

out of the leopard man, but he was too tight-lit. So, they simply resorted to two-way torture

after catching another one. That sure is a cruel method, but it's sort of effective that

Baoq's sinsect employs experts for it. With all that said, Chujossan just wants

soul to hand over the deer beside him. They gumlady in her deer form staggered after hearing that.

Yellman releases breath of the sun level attack on the deer. She's clearly outmatched in this

encounter, even one one retreated fearfully to his master. Right from the start, J. Seong had

already identified the deer as one of the locals. The deer was not just some magical beastmeal,

but a descendant who could be tortured for more information. Of course, they want to catch the deer.

Soul would then intervene and thwart their initial tries. Just as the weirdo suspected,

the young man is aware of the situation. No matter what happens, he's already determined to take the

deer. He might be kind-hearted, but finders keepers are a play here. True Joss on wanted to appeal

to him to see this from the sex perspective. They just want to get to the Valley of Secrets

for the treasures and the book that soiled desires. Trusting these guys would be the last thing he would want to do though. With all the

yapping around, Yum's just going to use force. A blue flame launched from his palm and headed for the animal. The young

lady deer had to think of a way out of this mess quickly. She transformed back into human form to try and defend, but it looks

like she's one step too late, a massive explosion echo throughout the woods. But the girl was safe, so well managed to

to savor in the nick of time with some sturdy spirit barrier.

Xiaoping already warned Shu Joss on that soul was special,

locking Yum Joss burning flame skill

that a spirit barrier is proof of that.

But thanks to this escalation,

the young lady has been confirmed to be a descendant

of the Valley of Secrets.

The protocol suggests bringing her back to the camp

and extracting information by any means.

Shu Joss on even promised soul all the credit

for the capture.

He's stuck between saving the girl from torture

or going against the entire camp.

As the weirdo strode towards the young lady, Sowell insisted on taking her himself.

I don't know what Sowell is planning, and neither does the young lady.

For now, they are all heading back to camp with a local girl tied up and captive.

The young alchemist only came to this place for the memoirs, but now he's caught up in something

bigger.

He's heavily conflicted about whether he's doing the right thing here.

Contempt was evident in the lady's eyes.

She was acquainted with the Lippard man who was caught.

In fact, he was her older brother.

She is just one question for Seoul.

She wants to know if she can trust the young man, back at the camp the remaining alchemists

are just chilling.

They're surprised at the site of a woman introduced as a descendant of the Valley of Secrets.

After some interrogation, it should be a step closer to completing their mission.

Seoul didn't immediately back up two Joss-On's claims that all the telltale signs of a descendant

are present in her.

From the purple hair to the blue eyes, when politely asked if she really was a local,

a shot them a violent glare. If not for that information, then just getting her name would

be fine. If she continues to behave like this, Chu Joss-Om will have free rein to extract

some info. One method is through using a drug that makes the young brain hazy for easy

interrogation. The second method would be to take the captive to the general assembly and

leave her in the hands of experts. Either way, something malicious would befall the young woman.

Both processes are way too inconvenient and inhumane, so so will one up to the lady and

whisper that she should take the drug, but she's worried that she'd end up revealing

everything she knows. That won't happen to soul around, with the medicine's effect,

they should have five days of control. Chu Jossong would take the first three days,

and the last bit would be handled by the other alchemists. And so, the transforming woman was

forcefully fed the drug and tossed into a metal cage. Two alchemists would always be watching her.

This is soul's way in. He just needs to wait for his turn. With the weirdo guide and the silent breath

of the sun expert. Things might get complicated really quickly. The caves are using as made for magic beasts, a

special material that absorbs spiritual power. The weirdest slightly wanting to take soul away from the vicinity of the cage. It

thinks that the young man is just worrying for no reason. At any point in time, a group of descendants from the

valley of secrets might raid them. But you jossong is gushing with unfounded confidence. He devilishly looks

like he has everything figured out. An hour from now, the medicine should start exhibiting

its effects. When that time came, the weirdo went inside the cage where the young lady was

rapidly losing strength. Once the medicine took over, it looked like she lost all bodily control.

The drug is working so well that she even started drooling with an empty mind. Next would come

the light questioning for further info about the descendants. That stunt only earned

Chu Joss on a well-deserved spit on his face. It looks like a medicine hasn't taken over completely

after all. She still has some strength to hold out and the weirdo didn't like that. A slap of disappointment echoed

as two Joss-on didn't have his way so easily. For now, they'll just let the girl get taken over by the medicine.

She's bound, energy suppressed, and helpless in that cage. She can only turn to soul for some semblance of hope.

The young man assured her that everything would be alright if she trusted him. For now,

so we'll want to test this so-called magic beast cage. As expected, it's extremely effective when it comes to

to absorbing spiritual power.

It's not even time to change shifts,

he's already nosing around the prisoner.

This cage would be initial problem for his plans,

for answers he tried to think about

what his fourth master would have done.

And you remember to lecture about escaping imprisonment

at the breath of the sun stage.

At that time, it was so far off in the future,

but John Gunn wanted to prepare the kid.

Who would have thought that this random lesson

would really be a great help to end right now?

Just as his fourth master taught him, this method might just work.

In the dead of the night, the moon cast its gentle glow upon the sky.

The vigilant alchemist known as someone sneaking into the area.

It was wound soul, allegedly exploring another place near the cage.

The garb was beginning to send something so about him at this point.

And that guard hit the nail in the head.

Soul was indeed up to something devious.

After extensive information extraction, the yum lady was identified as "walk me", the sister

of the Leopard Guox Chin. The next line of questioning pertain to her homeland and its population

count. In a few more words, Chu Jossong would gain the recognition of finding the descendants.

Walkmees whispered answers hinted at her vulnerability, prompting the strange man to move his

ear closer. This earned him a well-deserved bite on the ear. Walkmee wasn't yielding easily,

even though the medicine should have taken effect by now. The strange man was about to resort

to physical force and a string of curses, but his grimy hands were stopped by a very

familiar technique. It was young master wounds soul with his trusty inner Bimey seals. There was no need to

resort to violence. It was true Jossongs fault for administering a weak drug. The bite on his ear wasn't as severe as

one might hope. This incident raised doubts about young master wounds allegiance. They must have misunderstood,

so always merely traveling with them because they happened to be on the same route. He had never considered

any of these men to be on the same side as him. True Jossong wanted to caution the young man to choose

He has his words and actions carefully from this point forward, but he was told to leave and stop lingering around the cage immediately.

If so, I'll continue down this path. The other hired alchemists might suffer as well. The old man guard warned him to be cautious from now on.

At this point, these older individuals were just talking without much substance, so soul advised the girl to step further back from the cage.

intended to free her with his bare hands and hands with frost key. As his freezing power was

channeled into the cage, the iron bars began to contract and become brittle. When the old

guard turned around, the young man was swiftly executing his plan. He attempted to stop alchemist

womb with a flying blade, but in an instant, the young man vanished. You might have already

guessed where he is now, he's behind the old man preparing to deliver a powerful drop-kick to the

back of the head. The elderly guard was knocked unconscious, and so will worry that he might have gone

to far. Broges did a wrestling move to an old man's bald head. After making the cage brill it was time to

heat it up with some blazing true somebody fire. Alternating between contraction and expansion with

cold and heat was the way to go in this situation. It didn't take long for the process to show signs of

success. When he was younger, John Gunn had to reprimand him for interrupting at times. Sometimes it's not

just about one energy, coordinating elements together produces different results. Young Sewell was

concerned that you might not be able to master such complex techniques in the future, but failing

to do so can mean a lifetime of imprisonment. He needed to remember that these powerful techniques

had distinct properties. They might not be initially compatible, but repeated collisions of

Yen and Yang would eventually yield interesting results. An explosion where the conflicting energies

could no longer coexist, an explosion that finally liberated Guokmi from her sturdy cage.

Now, it was time for the next part of the plan as Seoul rushed to rescue the girl. Behind him,

A forceful voice approached to stop him, and a fierce flame blazed towards soul at high speed.

Fortunately, his spirit barrier was too robust for an attack of this magnitude.

Now, he was faced to face with the weak and young lady.

All she had to do was lean on him, and soul would take care of the rest.

The young man was surrounded by fierce flames, the cage he had just destroyed was no ordinary cage.

It was known as the power limiting prison owned by the silent expert.

Even Sol had to admit that it was effective, but it was a shame that the man would have to buy a new one in the morning after tonight.

The two Jossong arrived on the scene, relieved that he no longer had to play nice with your master wound.

There were no more warnings necessary, but duo was going after him with full force.

It must be deluded to think that, when they should be worrying about attempting to block one of Sol's attacks first.

Breath of the Sun expert Yim felt those words at his core.

He tried to get the jump on Sol and launched his fire attack first.

When Will these alchemists learn that the young man's golden spirit barrier is just built differently?

But even so will knows that prolonging this further would only garner the attention of the whole camp.

Instead of attacking immediately, he's just going to run and let them chase for now. As expected, the brain dead duo is just following him mindlessly.

With the speed that the two are exhibiting, there's no way that they can catch up to the man with a plan.

He's creating a decent distance while his barrier is active.

The two tried to fire off their bar-rage of attacks just to slow down soul a little bit. They

gone far enough to see the fauna head, which would truly help with getting them off his tail.

The weirdo Chu Joss on has grown increasingly frustrated with this fruitless chase. He decided

to name drop the Baoq Sin sect to dissuade soul from running further. Being a target of

such a large sect would make Daewu nation a hostile land for anyone. They will gladly

send countless experts to hunt soul if push comes to shove. That would certainly be a huge

to pay to get the memoirs by himself. Ultimately, it's nothing to worry about how far he has come. The

fog then covered the retreating soul with the lady in his arms. Chujasong was so

vivid that he wanted to melt his organs and make him vomit blood. Chill, bro, you're

not built like that. When soul will pass through the fog, the other breath of the sun

alchemists from the camp washed him fly. They just turned a blind eye and happily let the young man

in past. A knowing smile crept up on Soul's mouth. It's an understanding between the real ones. Deep

into the woods, a massive rock formation nestled madam wees former carriage. Inside, Walkmey is

resting peacefully, recovering from the heinous drug, which again, consciousness, a painful

headache cause her to wince. But above all, the young lady doesn't even know where she is. A comforting

voice made everything clear though. Soul is just standing outside, waiting for her wake up. Seeing

that Walkmee can walk now, it seems like she's okay. She doesn't even know why this young man would

go to such lengths just to save her. When this man tells you to trust him, you should trust him.

Boulks' insect might be powerful, but he'll manage somehow. But in the eyes of Walkmee,

that just makes him a bigger idiot. Stonewall is just not the type to take away something that belongs

to someone else. You can call the man stupid, but he certainly sticks to his principles.

After all that, all she hears from the lady is complaints and insults. She might have forgotten

She really is quite unique, asking for the treasure after getting saved from certain death. She just wants to take the flower and take it home quickly.

Well, you can't argue with her if she insists that she got first dibs on the damn treasure. He's only starting to realize that the girl might just be lacking common sense at this point. Walk me is not backing down and insisting that she's the owner of the Chrysanthemum. It turns out that she's not even the one who planned it. She just found it and nurturing it. So, if so, we'll present it with two options. Either make a deal or take it by force. For the negotiation, he noticed that the ladies' clothes were made from the web of the Golden Web Spider. It has a defensive capability to see the

"In exchange for the cres Anthemum, she can just make soul of his own golden spider web garments.

Of course, it sounded like it's a fantastic deal, but guac me is not a total idiot.

She knows that a supreme cres Anthemum is nothing compared to a whole set of clothing made from

such precious materials.

But as things could get dangerous from here on out, he's really in dire need of more defense,

extracting from her summoned beasts would take too long making the clothes.

So, the only way to do this would be taking Seoul back home with her.

There are plenty of supplies in her place after all.

Our boy just hit the jackpot.

He'd like to leave immediately before she can change her mind.

Gokmi was worried about getting back on her own since the drug was still in her system.

So, just for a second, she wanted Seoul to come a little bit closer.

She then asked him to hold out his hands, explaining that this is how her people make a promise.

He just had to reach his hands out as demonstrated.

Their palms slowly move closer and closer together until finally, the young man and the young lady

held hands with a cheer.

The palm of an alchemist is their weakness.

If they are held like this, it's a symbol of complete trust for one another.

When asked if so old trusted Guacmi, he smiled and told her that he really did.

Now that they've established a pact, the duo flew through the mysterious fog, staying close

to each other.

It seemed like they were lost and needed to circle back.

Soil could feel some alchemists lurking in the distance. There were at least 50 of them,

and some were even experts in the breath of the sun. They chose to trust each other's words,

so they had to stick closer together. They needed another round to the lady's house. This

place had the thickest fog in the land, yet Soil didn't seem affected at all. Thanks

to his master's training and poison tolerance at a young age. As for her, this much poison

was nothing. She was a resident, after all. They stopped for a moment, but there were no signs

of alchemist nearby. Walk me warn him that they would have to stick closer from here on out. Also,

so we'll need to wear a blindfold. She insisted it was for his own protection because their rules

against outsiders were strict and deadly. He chose to trust the lady and let her tie the blindfold

over his eyes. Now, he would surrender his fate into her hands. The duo traversed the

trap-infested lands to reach her home. To soulful surprise, they were descending into an

underground city filled with alchemists and odd looking homes. The city greeted Seoul with awe.

For now, she was going to bring her father and the others to meet Seoul. He noticed that high-grade spirit stones

were lying undisturbed on every street corner. This was a place that would undoubtedly spark greed and

bough sin. His clothes and appearance immediately stood out as he was seen by passing alchemists.

He didn't expect so many people to come to greet him in this unfamiliar place,

and they didn't seem too pleased at the sight of an outsider.

However, he was the young man who had saved a descendant's daughter. Walked me and finally arrived with her father. The

elder's name was Walk Young and wounds soul politely introduced himself. So old was still an outsider.

So some hostility was in the air. Walk Young himself apologized for the rudeness.

He was aware of the descendant's situation, so he understood. For now, a proper talk in the assembly hall

was an order. The assembly hall was equally grand and ancient, and everyone had already gathered there.

Walk young warns soul that lying wouldn't get him anywhere here. He had already made a pact with

Walkme, so that shouldn't be a problem. They were in this mess in the first place because the young

lady had broken the promise of staying home. Her brother had been lost at the hands of an outsider

and yet she had brought one home. She sincerely apologized for her actions and for worrying everyone.

Still, a father would be glad that his daughter had come home safely. It turned out that

Kwakyeong was the Mango village chief, also known as the two-faced monarch. He was the protector

of the town's men and the punisher of outsiders. He needed Seoul to make a hard decision. Refusal

would spell catastrophic consequences, but the decision wasn't too bad. Our boy just had to permanently

move to Mango village. "Oh hell no!" This council elder is looking at Seoul as if he has just

committed a heinous crime. But for now, he has no other choice but to say yes to the absurd condition.

Wakiyan is worried that he might run off and snitch to the baoq sin sect. First, he thanks the

descendants for their leniency. He then gracefully accepts what the chief puts forward. The

residents will make sure that he settles and well inside the town. But before that, the chief

wants a detailed account of what happened outside. Wakiyan knows that this young man is in a

less than ideal position, but it can't be helped. Many of the locals are still skeptical about him.

Soul knows that it's justified, though given that he does have some ties with the sect.

But she thinks that he's looking at this through the wrong lens. She believes that soul looks

sus from the get-go, so hiding the truth wouldn't have worked. Now that they disclose everything

that happened outside, he can go about without being buried by lies. If Soul is a dunce,

then guac me is his smart idiot. That might sound kind of harsh, but it's a sweet compliment.

Now, the lady wants to visit Oak Juan, also known as the monarch of 1,000 demons.

The golden web spider will come later, for now.

She must agree to some people.

It seems like the spiders are treated as precious babies in this place, and guac me was

tasked always stick with soul.

The monarch of 1,000 demons is an incredible genius who trains and tames magic beasts.

He has made it so the villagers have at least one or two rare magic beasts to summon.

He's a bit reserved, but the lady finds him fun to be around.

from the title alone, the man sounds interesting. As the duo walks around in chats,

Soil suddenly feels something is off. He then smiles as this feeling is quite familiar to him.

A loud and clear sound of golden teeth locusts echoes through the streets. Soil would always

remember these fearsome bugs. It looks like he's about to meet the person who raised such a terrifying

army soon. Guacmi's face lights up when she sees her brother Oak Juan, a man with a luscious

This ponytail is busy doing his beast, taming. This monarch of a thousand demons looks like he lives up to the title, though. Soul and Oak Wang exchange glances, and a conflicting spark is palpable in the air. The clueless young lady just casually introduces soul as her savior.

who Waugh knows that Seoul was the one who wiped out 20,000 of his golden teeth locus

swarm, though it really was self-defense. First impressions are off to a bad start. At

any second, the two can explode into an intense fight, the only one preventing an all-out

war is guac me. Old wine hits outsiders with a passion, given that he's close friends

with a captured leopard man. The young lady just wants to get some fat earthworms, though,

while Waugh refuses to give his babies to her. To sweet medile, she's willing to exhibit

the Supreme Crescent Themums. She plans to make acid poison, and the fat earthworms are the only

ingredients missing. This poison will be used against the alchemists of the Baoq sin sect.

Walk me hates the outsiders as much, if not more, than the rest of the townspeople.

She has her pride as an alchemist and refuses to sit idly any longer.

Seeing her resolve, Oguang finally relents. A small bag of fat earthworms has been successfully obtained.

This should be enough to speed up the growth process for her main ingredient.

Bo Guang sounds like he's a concerned parent of the worms, though before leaving, so will respectfully

bids farewell to the monarch of a thousand demons. He even apologized for being rude earlier.

The next question is who's the monarch of a thousand poisons that they're going to meet next.

The only thing certain is that he's the best poison brewer in the world.

And before they even get near the old man, he's already expecting their arrival.

Everybody ganks up until an old expert starts gardening.

The first thing so well noticed was the hanging red banners. They were a warning not to get any

closer to the home of the monarch of a thousand poisons. Though he was walking with Kwakmi,

this place still used bad vibes. The young lady even addressed the old man as her grandpa.

They couldn't see the monarch in this massive garden. However, her grandpa never left this

territory unattended. At a distance, they spotted the old man. Kwakmi ran enthusiastically

of all her ingredients in hand, only to be stopped by a seemingly invisible barrier. The

monarch gestured for so old to come closer, and the young man phased through the clear barrier. When

asked if he was unaffected by the shield, so I'll play it ignorant again. This field was filled with

poisonous herbs protected by a powerful spell, but it was useless against the young man. He

jokingly told the old man that his hobby was enjoying a plate of poisonous herbs. Walked me was

confused about how well the two were getting along right from the beginning. They could talk more

More after attending to the young lady's business, the spread of all the ingredients

for the special poison was quite impressive.

To do this right, they would need more supreme crescent thanums.

Alternatively, they would need to let the flowers mature for 200 more years.

That's where the fat earthworms come in.

The monarch of 1,000 demons has a soft spot for guac me, but he probably wants some acid poison

as well.

Initially, the worms didn't come out of the pouch, they were very shy, but when they

They did come out, the massive worms looked extremely sus.

These giant worms disliked light as well.

The ceiling of the massive garden was a white flower rock that replicated sunlight.

Using this treasure as a light source was quite extravagant.

As the worm burrowed near the flower, all they had to do was wait for the sped up maturation.

Just a little more spirit energy should explain at the process.

It was a rare and lucky site to see this procedure unfold.

You might find it fascinating, but guac me was immediately bored.

The monarch then injected his rich spiritual energy into the soil.

Fat earthworms have a habit of following spirit energy.

After all, the old man lured the worms near the roots of the flower so they could take a dump.

Watching this was only interesting to some people, so he'll want some fat earthworms for

himself to raise the efficacy of his elixirs in the future.

He was so engrossed that he just wanted to stick his head into the soil and watch the worms

do their thing.

some time, the flowers started to exhibit some changes. It was growing an unbelievable rate

right in front of the young man's eyes, and its color had also started getting darker.

The rate of maturation was just too incredible to behold. The old man could identify the

exact moment when the flower was ripe for the picking to be used in the acidic poison. He

prepared his fingers stabbed the ground. Grandpa dug out the sus worms after deeming that

the flowers were ready. It was so easy and simple when you saw it performed by an expert.

The Monarch of Thousand Demons really did have some nifty creatures in his roster. In just a few moments, they had

expected it 200 years of growth. The flower had reached 1,000 years. It was ready to be made into acid poison, but

the final product itself would take about a month to produce. If someone less talented and experienced

took on the job, it would take more than 10 years. Come to think of it, the old man just wanted

guac me to study under him and become an apprentice. After all, she would probably be given the mask

with her brother gone. Wearing that mask was not easy and the price to pay was great. Walk

me was convinced that her brother would come back, though, she firmly believed that he was

the only heir to the two-faced monarch. The old man had a nerve and he apologized. With that

settled, the monarch turned to inquire about Sol's hobby of consuming poison. This old man

casually invited Sol to come and try some poison as if he were offering snacks. Sol hadn't

able to find some decent poison to play around with, so this should be fun. The old man might

have promised to take it easy, but that sinister smile indicated a different story. After some time,

the old man's poison arsenal was brought out. There was one poison piddle per wooden case,

each with varying degrees of effectiveness. It might not be fatal, but inflicted pain worse than death.

This was the monarch's challenge to soul. Things quickly became interesting as the young man endured

the eighth pill in the lineup. He had finally met his match, but it wasn't too bad yet. The monarch wanted to

provide soul with a little background regarding the complete consumption of what he had just ingested.

The first pill was meant to test one's overall poison handling talent. The fourth pill served as the

threshold for surviving the poisonous lands. As for the eighth pill, it tested whether one had one it

took to set foot in the land of the dragon. A place in the center of the spirit core that not even the

The young man was confident in his breath of the sun cultivation to burn the ninth poison internally.

He took it without batting an eye, but as soon as it touched his tongue, an indescribable feeling

over came him. His initial bodily reaction was to vomit. We after going too hard on McDonald's. His

spiritual energy forcefully attempted to expel the poison, but he was determined to endure,

trusting his poison resistance. The old man was amused by the confident young man's reaction and

offered the antidote if it became too much. Solo was not one to give up on a challenge of endurance,

though. It was indeed remarkable that he could withstand the ninth poison and recover,

even wanted to take on the next challenge immediately. Such potent substances were not encountered

every day, so he might as well take a tenth pill. So we'll have been coasting through the pills with his

built-up immunity, but the tenth pill should take him to his limit. It didn't appear too different at

first glance, so he shut it down like candy. The initial reaction was almost the same as the ninth pill,

but he was more prepared this time. However, within a few seconds, things began to change.

The young alchemist didn't even have a chance to resist, pain overtook his system.

Afterward, he was brought to the monarch on a thousand elixirs, so Wanjoon. So old regained consciousness only after a few hours, having endured the poison without meeting antidotes, as a side effect even became quite plump- awe unconscious.

This was indeed an astonishing feat, and the monarch of thousand elixirs thought Walkme was trying to gain approval for marriage. However, the duo was truly after a particular elixir.

Out of nowhere, Seoul's fight-or-flight reaction was triggered as something approach from

behind.

He raised a barrier as the young woman attempted to launch a surprise attack.

This mischievous lady was merely trying to demonstrate how amazing Seoul was to the Lady Monarch.

The Lady Monarch recognized that his spirit barrier was a result of a gold elixir.

In addition to the elixir's effects, one could also attain a golden barrier through lightning

energy.

However, it was a fire and frost key user, so it was indeed a gold elixir responsible for

is barrier. Things began to make sense, the gold elixir he obtained from the faceless murderer must

be related to man-go-village. Since this was connected to his past, he couldn't casually share

this information. The old lady was understandably frustrated, as the gold elixir was a precious

treasure that only the three monarchs of the village had taken. This might have been souls

first time in the poisonous lands when it seemed like his fate was somehow intertwined, impressed

and intrigued. The monarch of thousand elixirs introduced herself. One soul will respectfully did the same.

A legged monarch had one more question. Though, she wanted to know his true stage of alchemy. He couldn't

provide too many specifics, but he could guarantee that most of the elixirs he consumed were self-made.

This earned him an invitation to the legged monarch's elixir-making practice. While he might have been

confident with his pills and elixirs, working under her guidance would undoubtedly make him even better.

All the ingredients were already provided and he could make all the elixirs he desired.

Since there were no downsides to this offer, immediately accepted it.

Walk me could continue her business with acid poison on her own. After jumping through hoops,

walk me's acid poison has finally been concocted. This should make her father a happy man.

However, when she brought the poison for her dad to see, the negative reaction and the palpable

silence between the two say it all. Industries of the village. So we'll can see the deep

sadness and disappointment in the lively young lady's eyes. The poison business clearly didn't go well.

So what kind of expected this reaction the moment she ran with the acid poison in her hand?

Unlike her father, the young man is quite enthusiastic to hear about her recent achievement.

First, she asked him to expand his spirit barrier. He just has to follow along and she'll

explain after showing the fruits of her labor. From the bottle, guap me throughout the entirety of

of the acid poison into the air. The substance quickly headed for soul's barrier. This

was the first time he'd seen something like this, his golden barrier started falling apart in

an instant. It's pretty obvious that the acid poison corrodes energy protection. It's

kind of misleading to call it a poison as it doesn't harm the body at all. With this effect,

it'll definitely be instrumental against the baoic sin sect. That's why she just doesn't understand

why her father keeps on saying no. The chief might just be too cautious as his son fell into

hands of the sect. As the two were talking, so will realize something that might be vital for all

of this. But first, he needs to find the important decision makers in the village. It didn't take

too long to arrange the meeting for the young man's idea. The chief at every monarch have gathered

in one place to hear out souls' sentiments, while traveling with a baoq sin sect, he was made

aware of the heir's capture. Down in this village, they don't even have the concept of the D.

Woundation's General Assembly. To get to the point, so, just once the important figures of this

place to come with him to the General Assembly and rescue the Chief's heir. This is outside of anyone's expectations. The

monarch with 1,000 poise in thinks that this meeting was just one massive waste of time. It is an absurd suggestion after all. The

General Assembly isn't exactly easy to break into. However, now is the best time to act. They set the bulk of their

experts to the poisonous lands to find and steal from the village. After hiring outsiders, they mixed in

their own experts to scar this place. The general assembly itself is left with little to no protection,

but this mysterious poisonous land is the descendant's biggest advantage, and they would be giving

that up for this plan. The chief admits that he gave up on his son for the sake of his people.

They'll continue to value everyone in the village of Rezone's son. That's his decision as the two-faced

monarch. So while suggestion is also earning him some heat, the chief is starting to think that he's

just here to ingratiate himself and put everyone in a perilous situation outside their land.

But that's not true. In fact, he also has something he wants from the Baoq sin sect. He needs to obtain the treasured memoirs at all costs. You see, the young man has learned a lesson after meeting Lady Guatme. You have to confess the truth to gain trust. So, he'll just tell everyone the truth.

He's going to confess why he couldn't reject the offer of Lord Xiaoping and come to this place, and he really did retell a detailed account of his story from a fairaway continent. It's hard to believe, but it's true. While he's confessing, the Lady Monarch,

also has some questions. She wanted to confirm that the young man really took a goldalix or somehow. The

lost piddle found itself in the young man's hands, so it must be fate. He also confessed to hiding his

actual stage using advanced techniques. His true cultivation at the beginning of the breath of the

sun stage has been unveiled. After laying some of his secrets open, the chief started warming up to his

plan and wanting to hear more. The crux of this operation is simple to simply capture the

Baoq Sin-Sex Lord, Shobing. We're going to take a look at the Gajang Province of Namjov District.

In this place, a provincial inspector named Go Jung-Boo is currently negotiating a deal to take custody

of a few chained up prisoners. The old man supervising the prisoner transport is strongly opposed.

The inspector had no choice but to allow the long line of captives to pass through his territory.

Provoking the old man of the break of Don would only bring him misfortune. As for the concealed

prisoners, it's hard to estimate their energy levels. Now we jump to the Yannan region, back to

the Kuojing Metropolis, a sudden breeze passes through the bustling streets, an old man with a

hood tells his prisoners that they should be safe now. Under the covers and chains are soul and the

rest of the man go village experts. This is the first time the descendants are venturing into the

outside world. Everything is fascinating and new, they have to hurry with their mission. They

and successfully infiltrated the surface,

where every monarch resides underground.

Oguang in particular is eager to rescue his old friend

and held captive.

Their destination is none other than the heart

of the baoq sin sex waging branch.

The towering palace visible from a distance is their target.

The directive is straightforward.

Overpower everyone without making any loud noise.

It's a shame they can't use the golden tooth locusts,

but they have plenty of other magical beasts,

so will signals everyone to be in right away.

The monarchs will take the lead. Unfortunately, it might not be as inconspicuous as they thought.

A sweeping power radiates from the center of the sect, and it's none other than shelving.

She senses intruders in her territory. Activating her technique once again, it becomes a parent

that everything is strangely quiet. Without experts around, she has two choices. Hide in the

camp or run away. She decides to run for her safety. She's using the route through the central

Garden. Every step she takes is filled with caution. Now she can only rely on the protection

of the provincial inspector. A single wrong step could determine her fate. The lifeless body of

the man she was counting on his throne beside her, sending a cold chill down her spine.

She has no clue why alchemist wound soul is strolling through her garden.

She might try as hard as she can to hold her breath and hide herself, but the young man is already

locked onto her. She outbings things everything is going according to her plan. And now,

All she can think about is escaping using the walls of her palace. So, it turns his head back for a second,

and she prepares to seize the opportunity. Jumping up onto the wall, she is met with a

nonchalant expression of the two-faced monarch. Since the sect had been searching for the descendants,

they decided to pay a visit. Desperate times call for desperate measures as the young lady attempts to

use smoke to conceal her escape. She knows she can't compete against so many experts hunting her down.

Running away is the only thing that matters to the high and mighty Lord. If she can cover a bit

more distance, she can increase her chances. Her hope was quickly extinguished by the inner

binding seals. The mighty have fallen and with no one to protect her, he's just a defenseless,

defeated princess. Lord Xiaoping shivers at the site a multiple breath of the sun experts towering

over her. Given her tired and defeated appearance, a bit of rest might be in order. That was the

the easiest kidnapping job in the world.

The descendants and soul have rounded up every remaining disciple in the palace.

They assured the people that they could rest easy if they were only here for Xiaobeng.

So old stared coldly at the limp body of the Lord and beckoned her to stop pretending

to be unconscious at once.

She tried to play it off as the young man following her orders exceptionally well with

the descendants in the palace.

Unfortunately, the young man was just too good at his job.

Her specific orders refine the treasures of the descendants, like he brought the whole clan.

She desperately tries to tempt Seoul to come back to her side after they get the village's treasures.

Xiaobing is willing to give him the memoirs along with any reward for the local's treasures.

The temptation of a high ancient era should be way too hard to resist for an ordinary alchemist.

A treasure of that level would be akin to the frost pill he took from before, but it's a treasure

that belongs to the descendants.

She's starting to break apart, insisting that her clan shin own everything that the descendants are hiding.

This is the disgusting alchemist mindset that soul will lose.

She obeying wants to entice him so badly with what the treasure is capable of.

The monarch of thousand poisons is getting irritated with her babbling though.

If another word comes out of her mouth, he vowed to melt her organs from the inside out.

But the chief sees things differently.

This two-faced monarch is curious just how much this outsider knows about them.

He wants to hear her continue with the little rant.

She knows that they are hiding a very special mask that came from the high ancient era,

wearing a mask grants the wear of the ability to read the memories of high ancient era alchemists

and gain access to their profound knowledge.

That's the reason why the descendants can become highly skilled at a young age.

And they're evolution to having blue eyes and purple hair.

The chief called it the Divine Powers of Yuanzi.

Their ability to tame magic beasts was also thanks to knowledge gained through the mask.

Every monarch has reached the breath of the sun, thanks to that treasure.

The modern of a thousand demons did not like having his secrets out in the open like that, though, as for the poison created by the descendants, it might have come from the mask and the ingredients in the valley. The poison old man insisted that he honed his craft his level through sheer experience, though. The value that the mask holds is immeasurable and show being a short soul that he can still change sides. If that's not tempting enough, she would even gladly offer the young man a high position in Baoq sin sect, as for the memoirs that would be part of the deal as well.

So we'll just look to her pathetic face and listen to her pathetic voice.

She hadn't changed one bit.

He would accept her proposal under one impossible condition.

That is if they named him and the monarchs the highest position in the Baoq sin sect.

This part was clearly just thrown in to agitate the lady even further.

Soil and the monarchs hold all the power in this scenario.

It was the first time in her life that greed wasn't enough to make someone follow her will.

But Xiaobeng's clever, at this point, she's certain that these people need her alive.

For now, she can just play along with this situation.

Even with no power and no influence, her confidence is still sky-high.

She even dared them to use poison if they could afford to do so.

At they were dealing with the psycho princess, Sona from the other captives called Soul's

attention.

It was the young lady from back then, Beckran.

She wants to repay alchemist wound for saving her life from Shelby's ruthless ass back then.

Beckran wants to use some evil spray fragrance against her own sect lord.

During one of her people turn on her and transform the clever Lord into a raging psycho.

She thinks she's given them all they need, and the girl dares to rebel.

Soil doesn't want to implicate Beckran as she won't be able to handle the wrath of Baoq's sin

sect in the future.

But her fate in this sect is worse than death already.

She's faded to be used as a tool and a bargaining chip to become the wife of some random

alchemist.

The two face monarchs stepped up and guaranteed the girl's safety if she aided them in

dealing with shelving.

There's no one in the world who knows how fearsome the evil spray fragrance is better than the Lord herself.

She tried to convince herself that this wouldn't break her completely.

As for Seoul, he'll finally be able to see the technique that failed against him back then.

Meanwhile, at the Panguan City of Bijang District, Baoaksen sex general assembly stands

stalwart.

A carriage pulled by some magnificent beast is walking towards the gate.

It's time for the second part of Seoul's plan.

It's not every day that the gate guards see an extravagant carriage being pulled by fire

Pagasi.

They are going into the general assembly under the guise of shell-bings of squirts.

However, the guards are cautious and want to check its contents.

On top of that, they'll have to check soul.

The carriage driver's identification too.

A mirror tool is brought out to see through any face-changing skills.

It's made from the same material as shell-bings mirror room.

They should be clear after checking inside the carriage.

This one Beck ran steps in and imposes on the guard not to annoy the stress lord inside.

Miss Beck ran's beauty holds some decent sway with the sex members.

She added that they're in a hurry with concerns about the poisonous lands project, inside

his shelving, nonverbal and unmoving.

If looks good kill, she would definitely face multiple murder charges.

Every member of the sect fears the leader, and with those eyes, shelving is truly his daughter.

The guard has already spooked trying to avoid getting on her nerves.

The Treasure Mirror doesn't show any signs of disguised techniques either, with an apology for intruding,

they are let into the general assembly without problems.

So old casually drives the carriage inside the center of the enemy base camp.

For now, he finds it best to focus his energy on scarring the whole place.

After spreading his senses throughout the whole place, he identifies a couple of alchemists,

but only one is at breath of the sun expert.

He should be able to handle this by himself easily.

The orders show being to come out of the carriage, and she obediently follows.

Inside this vehicle, there are some hidden elements included.

It's the monarchs hidden by their wonderful stealth technique, getting to their goals quite

easily achieved.

It turns out that the hide was quite miserable for the monarch of thousand demons.

Anyhow, they are one step closer to finding and rescuing the village air.

It's evident that the old man has been crying with how far they'd come to rescue their

man.

The descendants harbor is immeasurable after rescuing guac-shin, killing everyone in this place could

appease that. They called their feelings for far too long. Walk young might be the chief and a

monarch, but he's still a worrying father of heart. That grand has been a massive help for them on this

journey. They're so close to achieving the perfect heist, they can practically taste it. One can only hope

that the air holds unjust a bit longer. After traversing a massive property, there's yet another

checkpoint to pass through. So, we'll start by mentioning Lord Xiaobing and their business.

The lady even comes out and asks to see their captive from the poisonous lands. But even though

she holds certain privileges, the visit to a prisoner under special supervision still requires approval

from the higher ups. That's when a visibly experienced old man comes from the building to intercept

showbings and prompt you visit. She lays out to old man she and that they found the lead to the

location of the Descendants village, and they must see the prisoner. They can do that, but she and

The boy has been broken beyond any repair. That would obviously get a reaction out of the hiding monarchs in the carriage. The monarch of 1,000 poisons wanted to storm out and just let his rage out of this place. The chief had to step in and remind them to stick to the plan and hold on a bit longer. Under the powerful spell, show being continues to insist on some kind of

bit longer. Under the powerful spell, Shobain continues to insist on seeing the prisoner for herself.

You could be stubborn, and people will bend if you have the status to make them. And you

can pretty much do anything if you got a high status puppet leading the way. They finally

made it to where the finish line is "walk shin' as a few moments away from rescue." Inside

the dark dungeons of the baoq sinsect, the heir to the two-faced monarch is sitting motionless.

That boy needs a fresh haircut and a few days of bathing. The guard of the gate escorted

to the deepest depths of the sex prison. All holding cells were in a horrid state. Upon reaching

the base of an inner tower, they had to wait as the guard unlocked the next level. After walking so far,

they still needed to traverse a winding staircase. Finally, they arrived in front of walk Shin's cell and

shoving ordered the guard to wait outside. They opened the locks and so little light using his fire

energy. He began by stating that he came on behalf of a man go village to save walk Shin. A man who had

who had been severely tortured for information and left in a sorry state. So we'll attempt to

check on the man's well-being when he was unresponsive. A body covered in cuts and wounds was

neither pleasant nor optimistic to see. Even worse, his left hand was missing three fingers, and

they seemed to have been cut in a bumpy and painful manner, creating horrifying imagery

of the torture he endured. This man likely good off his own fingers just to maintain his sanity

during immense torture. Immediate medical attention was a necessity. So old produced the

do-drop pill, a medicine for people who had been mentally broken. Thankfully, it kept one pill from his

encounter with old man Yichinoxo. He might also need to use the elixir of purity and a nine-leaf healing

elixir. There wasn't a single part of this man's body that had been left untouched by pain. After obtaining

their first goal, the next part of the operation could commence, shelving ordered the guard to open

in the door, which was odd, but the guard had no choice but to comply. As the jail cell

creaked open, the clueless guard was fatally impaled by three swords, followed by the inner-binding

seals breaking his fall. From this point on, the operation required them to move in silence. Half

of the plan had gone off without a hitch. So, just needed to make it to the carriage. Keeping

his guard up was more important than ever. As soon as they returned to the bottom of the

The familiar imposing voice called out to Chauvin. Old Man, she and had been bothered by something

since earlier, but as soon as he laid eyes on the duo carrying the prisoner, his expression turned

from bother to shocked. Even for the daughter of the sex head, this stump had gone too far. The

old man still wanted to handle it by the book, either asking the lady to release the prisoner

or reporting the matter to the leader. So, the unassuming carriage driver had just one question

for the old veteran. He wanted to know what this bleak tower was soundproof. This only

served to confuse Mr. Chian even more. Behind him came a swarm of golden teeth locusts with

bledthirsty eyes. Now it was clear that Chian was dealing with the descendants of the valley of secrets.

The monarch of a thousand demons was on the move, and he was furious. The guards around the dungeons

were quickly surrounded by the deadly bugs from all angles. If they put up their spirit barriers,

The other monarchs were waiting with baited breath, and they finally saw soul emerge with the air on his shoulders. The tower was being taken care of, so they needed to prepare for departure soon. The chief's usually calm demeanor was replaced by unbridled rage as he carried his mutilated son in his arms. For now, he left Gwokshan in his head, and then he left the

the hands of Beckran. Sometimes a man has to do what he has to do and even Beckran understood that as she

assured the chief that his son was in good hands. El Guang emerged from the tower and they could

finally leave this place. The gang only needed to pass a certain point and it would be free as a bird.

The mission had been incredibly easy because they only faced low-level spirit alchemists in the

empty general assembly. As they celebrated their nearly perfect run, so it was struck by a feeling of fear

that he hadn't experienced before. A mature woman who greatly resembled show-bing was standing in

the air blocking their route. All the blue-haired mommy wanted was to have a little chat. The plot

has literally thickened. I mean thick with a double C. Blue-haired mommy certainly didn't hear anything

about guests coming to her sec today. She shows Elie and the baoq sin sect, seeing the big dogs of

the descendants and her doorstep was definitely unexpected. This fine woman right here is a

his alleged vitality of yin and yang alchemist. She telekinetically dragged her daughter's

unconscious body out of the carriage. She immediately noticed that show Bing is being controlled

by an evil spirit fragrance, just a single push seemingly got rid of that substance, and

it was replaced by fear. She's a psycho, but anybody would fold under the terrifying gaze of

a true expert nearing immortality. Even Lady Xiaoping had to address her mother as "sec leader,"

while trying to play out the scenario as if she was the mastermind behind everything.

Shozillion wasn't blind though, she'll deal with her incompetent daughter after dealing with the visitors first.

So, Oll has nothing else up in his sleeves that can possibly bail them out of this mess.

Walk Yonge stepped up to the plate and introduced himself as the chief of the descendants.

He just came here to take his captured son back.

Although it's a long shot, he had to try asking nicely to be let go first.

Since Bluegared Mommy is so kind, she'll just cut everyone a deal.

Her daughter and the chief son will get married and the Mango village will be under her from then on.

on. The two faced monarch politely declined. Connecting two and two together, his moniker

just means that he might possess the treasured mask. Shao Zilian would also settle with just the

mask that they can go in one piece. After that offer was also declined, she couldn't help but

sigh. That just means that she'll have to take everything by force. A beautiful crystalline

attack flew towards the chief. It certainly a cause for worry for the other descendants.

Chief Guacchio managed to defend and fire an attack of his own. But there truly is no use of struggling for

dear life against an alchemist at the zinnith of this continent. At that moment, the two-faced monarch had

finally pulled out the wild card. He just put on the mask. That works great for the sect leader, though,

that saves her the trouble of looking for the treasure. The same casual but devastating attack was aimed

towards him. This time, some of the shards had made contact with the chief's body. He was surprisingly

unharmed though, he even insulted this almighty attack that are basically just ice-cues, so

we'll notice the sudden shift in the monitor's calm personality. By the looks of it, this

must be the effect of the demonic looking mask. Not only that, but blaze of flame also

started coalescing in front of the mask for an attack. It's certainly in the upper echelons

of an attack that a breath of the sun alchemists can unleash. Shao Zilian doesn't seem

to be phased. This is becoming a waste of time for her. Fire and ice clash against each other

in mid-air. If any one of the people in here gets caught up in this battle, death would

be certain. The deadlock ultimately ended with a literal bang. So I wanted to take a chance to

pull their strengths and attack, but the monarch of 1,000 poisons disagreed. Their treasure

is dubbed as the Hellfire Mask. It boosts the wearer's attack to a greater force, but it heavily

burdens the body. If this fight goes on, the chief wouldn't be able to hang in there. As for

the second leader, she still calm and composed, obviously holding back her strength having

you never pulled out her talismans or anything. She thinks that the mast is not looking

all that great after all. Guacion is just using brute strength, and she thinks that he can't

bring out its fullest potential. It's hard to believe that insults and sharp trash talks

are coming out of the gentle cheese mouth. He would continue to use the same attack again,

as the hell fires swirls towards the woman. You might have the raw energy, but it's useless

against her spirit barrier. Pouring out more power isn't even making it dent on such an impenetrable

the fence. She might as well just end it all right now. She alwaysily entank the entire hellfire

and flew closer to the cheese body with a compressed frost energy in hand. It all comes down to

whether guac-yong with a mask can tank the hit. Another massive explosion resulted from the collision

and the results were impossible to see. The monarch just latzomeniacally in the air. He managed

to get his golden barrier up, thinking that he just lured the enemy in. Unbeknownst to the

chief, the frost energy wasn't just sheer force. They had a terrifying freezing effect that

corrodes barriers, if being encased by ice starting from his trusty golden barrier. If the leader of the

village goes down here, then the descendants would be in deep trouble. Blue-haired mommy just watched

with amusement as her attack does its job. Seoul must somehow find a way out. He couldn't simply stand

idly by as this unfolded. The monarchs had cautioned him about the impending dangers, but the young

No man remained undeterred, diving headfirst into the chaos. Uncertain to how to make a

meaningful impact, he resolved to take action, nonetheless. His first instinct led him to harness

the power of the Frost Flower. With determination, he directed it towards the burgeoning

frost energy, steadying off an immediate reaction. Gradually, the frigid blizzard, the

harbinger of a sea cold, began to recede. It marked the very first time that Shio Zillian's

The audacity of a mere upstart like Seoul interfering with her assaults was unacceptable.

Now, the focus shifted from the chief to the young man clutching the flower.

The monarchs gladly sprained the action, forming a protected barrier against the sudden crystalline

downpour.

Meanwhile, Seoul conferred with the masked chief.

Perhaps the tides might turn in the favor if the two-faced monarch wielded the potent

plant.

The sec leader's irritation began to show as these insects continued to test her patients.

illustration gradually gave way to resolve as she decided to unleash her full power, a

gargantuan wellspring of frost key emanating from deep within her. An unparalleled cold

front swallowed everyone within her sphere of influence. Wakiyan returned to the front

lines holding the flower as the air crackled with frost key. Perhaps the most fitting counter

to this was the intensity of hellfire. The chief's subsequent attack carried even greater

weight and firepower, melting the surrounding frost. A touch of panic etched itself across

shallzilian's visage. This battle could only be described as a tumultuous clash of hot and cold,

an explosion in the making. It managed to draw blood from the sect leader,

proving that even near gods could bleed if attacked vigorously. Now, they wielded two relics from

the high ancient era, which was the perfect counter to shallzilian. From being completely overwhelmed

to holding the upper hand, souls quick thinking had turned the tide. Recognizing the futility of

of continuing the battle, Xiao Zilean proposed a temporary truce, realizing that persisting

would only harm both sides. This wasn't the last time they would cross paths. The ice crystal

flower had undeniably saved the monarchs this time. As Xiao being ran to her mother's side to

protest this decision, she was promptly silenced. Boulksen's sect retained the upper hand, forcing

the descendants to retreat to their poisonous lands once again. As for the upstart wound

soul, his ice cold determination simmered within her. The battle seemed destined to end in a

stalemate as both sides withdrew. Walk young removed the Hellfire mask, bearing the evident toll

of wielding such a powerful relic. Originally, he required elixirs for recovery. Wearing the

Hellfire mask came at the cost of surrendering control over one's body to a high ancient era alchemist.

Given Walk Shin's compatibility with a mask's intense power, he was chosen as the successor.

They had narrowly escaped defeat thanks to Wu-soil. After several months, they managed to elude the washable eyes of Baoq sin, sex experts, and return home.

Guoq sin gradually recovered, and their long-awaited reunion finally occurred.

Ultimately, Seoul couldn't obtain the memoirs, and the looming threat of Baoq sin-sex still exists.

For now, Seoul needed to depart for somewhere else.

He returned to the Yu family manner where senior sister Makiyam had been staying in training.

Tonight, the flowers were in full bloom and in the blossoms, Wun Sol made his long-awaited return,

yet his visit was brief. He had somewhere to be. Makiyam inquired about his destination,

but he couldn't divulge the details. It was a recurring pattern,

running off without considering the feelings of those closest to him. But his soul aim was to ensure

the man who had cared for her so deeply, he'd come back safely. Back in the poisonous lands, so will decided to confront the jade dragon Paribolas in the land of the dragon. He held the vague belief that he was closer to unraveling the mystery behind the ring that had been with him since infancy. A recovered guac sh*t had been broken. He'd had been dead and had been removed from him. And the

and wished him luck on his upcoming journey. Woon Sol soared forward, leaving the past in his back pocket. The future remained uncertain. With many enignments yet to be solved, he wouldn't forget the vengeance inherited from his beloved masters. The memoirs were a soul clue for now. The search for the living elder's amount white sect continued. Every person who had played a part in his life fueled his determination. For them and himself, he vowed to return safely because he was an alchemist, a millennium alchemist.
