Chapter 150 - Alchemy Master’s Inheritance

Chapter 150: Alchemy Master’s Inheritance

The exchange with Xu Hujun had not only allowed Xu Ning to understand hidden secrets of State Jifeng, but it had also broadened his horizons.

State Wansheng, the beast tamer, the Demon Beast Scroll…

These existences were outside of Xu Ning’s knowledge.

“Senior Xu Hujun, I have another question.”

Xu Ning asked, “Why is Gray so close to me?”

Xu Ning still didn’t understand why Gray wanted to be with him.

“Young Master is here, so why don’t you ask him?”

Xu Hujun smiled.

Xu Ning chuckled and looked at Gray, who had turned into a boy. “Gray, why were you willing to follow me?”

When Gray heard this question, he shook his head. “I don’t know, I just feel close to Brother.”

“This…”

In Xu Ning’s opinion, this answer was too far-fetched.

“Master and Shi Fengxu were friends at first sight, so maybe you guys are the same.”

Xu Hujun said.

Xu Ning realized that he couldn’t get an answer, so he gave up.

He had a feeling that he should have some kind of attraction to Gray, but Gray might not have realized it yet.

Xu Hujun said, “Ever since the Demon Beast Scroll was transformed into a mystic realm, very few people have entered the mystic realm for the past 300 years. Most of those who entered by accident were buried here.”

“It seems that only a few months ago, a void realm junior had survived.”

“Because that void realm junior left alive, Young Master sensed the attraction of the pure void bloodline in the mystic realm, so he found this place. Afterwards, many humans entered the demon beast map, including you. The existence of this mystic realm was probably told to you by that junior.”

“Maybe…”

Xu Ning didn’t know about Xiao Qiyun entering the mystic realm.

“This mystic realm was originally left for the human descendants to enter and seek opportunities.”

“However, the actions of those big families had left me disappointed.”

Xu Hujun’s eyes showed a hint of coldness. “So, I decided to reverse this mystic realm into a Demon Beast Scroll and let Young Master refine it.”

‘Turn the mystic realm into a Demon Beast Scroll for it to be refined by Gray?’

Xu Ning didn’t understand what Xu Hujun meant.

“Since Shi Fengxu transformed the Demon Beast Scroll into a mystic realm, it naturally has a way to return back into a Demon Beast Scroll.”

“Although the inner core of the Demon Beast Scroll is missing, it still has some power left. Plus, the demon beasts that are inside the mystic realm are still extremely powerful.”

“Before I saw you that day, I was helping Young Master in preparation to begin reversing the mystic realm. I had only asked you to come here because the reversal of the mystic realm was beginning. As long as Young Master begins to refine, the humans in the mystic realm will be expelled from the mystic realm.”

“The reason why I brought Young Master to see you this time is firstly to explain the situation to you, and secondly, to let Young Master meet you. Because it may take some time to refine the incomplete Demon Beast Scroll, Young Master is afraid that you won’t be able to find him.”

Xu Hujun continued.

“Brother, once I’m done refining the Demon Beast Scroll, I will find you. You have to practice hard. In the future, we must travel together.”

Gray’s voice was still tender. His cheeks were puffed out as he raised his head, with the yearning of a young man.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning smiled at Gray.

“In this case, Xu Ning, before you leave the mystic realm, I will help you obtain another inheritance.”

Xu Hujun said, “Although Shi Fengxu is powerful, the treasures he left behind here are not valuable except for the three dao weapons. Thus, the hundreds of secret scrolls and secret techniques are of little use to you.”

“In this mystic realm, there is the inheritance of a master alchemist. Before he died, he left behind all of his knowledge. When your consciousness returns to your body, I will send you to his inheritance ground.”

“Once you finish accepting the inheritance, Young Master will begin to refine the Demon Beast Scroll, and you will be ejected to the outside world with the others.”

Xu Hujun said, “You cultivate both fire and water, which are the best attributes to become an alchemy master. I hope this inheritance will be beneficial to you!”

The mental space began to twist.

Xu Ning’s consciousness returned to his body.

Gray was still in his kitten form, while the tiger demon beast was still a two-winged tiger.

Xu Hujun lifted Xu Ning to head and left the stone hall.

After leaving the stone hall, Xu Hujun spread his wings and sped away, bringing Xu Ning to a tall mountain.

“Gray, take care.”

Xu Ning stroked Gray’s fur and handed it to Xu Hujun.

Xu Hujun roared, then threw Xu Ning into a hidden cave and disappeared.

“An alchemy master’s inheritance…”

Xu Ning walked deeper into the cave with a look of expectation in his eyes.

For Xu Ning, the energy sources he relied on the most to improve were pill medicines and spirit medicines.

If he could become a powerful alchemist, then it would definitely be beneficial to his future advancements.

…

At this time.

Outside the mystic realm, under the Fog Night Abyss.

It had been nearly a month since the Yuelan Sect disciples entered the mystic realm.

Most of the elders who were stationed outside had left, leaving only Elder Yuancheng and the people who were transferred here waiting to receive them.

“A total of 19 disciples entered the mystic realm.”

Elder Yuancheng was outside the mystic realm, and he thought, ‘Three people have found the exit midway and gave up exploring the mystic realm. Two of them were lightly injured, and one was seriously injured.’

The seriously injured disciple that Elder Yuancheng was referring to was Xie Wenyue.

In Elder Yuancheng’s opinion, Xie Wenyue was unfortunate.

She was a fifth stage void realm martial artist with extraordinary talent. She had the potential to step into the common seal realm in the future.

But never did she expect that she would encounter a huge crisis. After taking a Desperation Pill, not only did her realm fall, but her foundation was also damaged. In her current condition, it was impossible for her to return to her peak.

But fortunately, she had obtained a dao weapon which she contributed to the sect. In remuneration, the sect had given her a regenerative medicine. Even if she couldn’t return to her peak, she could recover half of her strength.

‘There are still sixteen disciples in the mystic realm. I wonder if half of them will survive?’

Elder Yuancheng could guess how difficult it was to survive in the mystic realm.

Since this mystic realm could supply dao weapons, it meant that this was a big mystic realm.

The bigger the mystic realm, the more dangerous it was.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yuan Cheng suddenly felt a violent aura fluctuation.

Afterwards, disciples slowly climbed out of the pond at the entrance of the mystic realm.

Everyone who climbed out had a blank look on their faces.

“What happened?”

Elder Yuancheng quickly ran over.

He counted the number of people. There were only eight disciples who had climbed out of the pond.

After confirming the identities of these eight people, Elder Yuancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the people who came out, there was Zhuo Zongyi, the personal disciple of Elder Yuancheng, as well as Xu Ning, the in-name disciple of Sect Master that he thought highly of.

“Why did you guys come out at the same time?”

Elder Yuancheng asked.

“Master.”

Zhuo Zongyi took the initiative to say. “I was trapped in the maze of Shi Fengxu’s inheritance, when I suddenly felt a huge tremor in the mystic realm. Immediately after that, I was ejected from the mystic realm.”

“Me too.”

“Me too…”

“…”

In addition to Zhuo Zongyi, the others also gave their explanation one after another.

Xu Ning said the same thing as well.

But Xu Ning was the only person who knew the truth of the mystic realm.

Just now, Xu Ning had finished receiving the alchemist’s inheritance, and not long after receiving it, he was ejected.

Xu Ning knew that Gray had begun to refine the Demon Beast Scroll.

“Master, after this mystic realm ejected us, the entrance has disappeared.”

Zhuo Zongyi said.

“The entrance has disappeared?”

Elder Yuancheng was shocked.

“Yes, Master.”

Zhuo Zongyi quickly responded.

“How did this happen?”

Yuan Cheng was a little anxious.

This mystic realm had been regarded as private property of the Yuelan Sect. They had long been prepared to send outstanding disciples to train there.

But now, the entrance had disappeared.

“I’ll go down and take a look.”

Elder Yuancheng immediately jumped into the pond.

Sure enough, after diving into the pond, Elder Yuancheng discovered that not only was the entrance gone, but his perception couldn’t even sense the existence of the mystic realm.

It was as if the mystic realm had never existed.

“How did this happen?”

Elder Yuancheng didn’t know what to do.

He surfaced again.

Looking at the eight people in front of him, Elder Yuancheng knew very well that besides the few of them, the other disciples who had entered the mystic realm would never come back.

‘It seems that they have gained something in this mystic realm.’

Although losing eight core disciples was a huge loss for the Yuelan Sect.

But looking at the eight core disciples in front of him, their strength had greatly improved compared to before. This at least gave Elder Yuancheng a sense of comfort.

These disciples who came out not only had opportunities and gains, but also had better potential. they could definitely become the pillars of the Yuelan Sect.

‘Zong Yi and Xu Ning have both advanced to the void realm sixth stage, and the two of them are likely to break through to the common seal realm in the future. However, it is unfortunate that we also lost two outstanding disciples, Chen Xiaoyi and Bao Ruyuan.’

As an elder of the Yuelan Sect, Elder Yuancheng looked after these disciples not only for their personal relationship, but also for the future of the Yuelan Sect.

‘The disappearance of the mystic realm is a big deal. It will definitely disrupt Sect Master’s future plans, so I should return to the sect quickly.’

Elder Yuancheng looked away from these disciples and thought to himself.

“Return to the sect!”

Elder Yuancheng ordered everyone.

…

Yuelan Sect, inner sect.

The disciples who entered the mystic realm had just returned to the Yuelan Sect.

Xu Ning returned to his inner sect residence first.

Xu Ning did not go to find Le Caiwei, Gu Qinghe, and the others. He instead went straight into his house.

The reason for this was because Xu Ning wanted to digest the gains from the alchemy master’s inheritance.

Xu Ning took out a stone box from his rib storage space.

The stone box opened, revealing six pure white pills.

These pills were the size of a baby’s fist. It had a glowing surface, giving off a refreshing fragrance.

Xu Ning touched one of them with his finger.
