Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

"What do you want to do? Let me go!" Yang Ling roared angrily.

However, the statue just looked at him coldly, its eyes full of disdain and ridicule.

"Young man, I advise you to calm down." The statue said coldly, "I didn't want to kill you, but you are too stupid to disobey me. I, the Titans, control everything. Those who disobey will be severely punished."

As soon as the words fell, the space around him began to distort and deform, as if the whole world was spinning.

Yang Ling and the others only felt that an invisible force was attacking them. The force was so strong and terrifying that they could not resist it.

They tried their best to mobilize their strength and resist the power of the statue, but it was in vain.

In the end, they could only watch as the dark beam of light came towards them at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, darkness enveloped the entire scene, and everyone felt their bodies spinning rapidly, as if being drawn into an unknown vortex.

When Yang Ling opened his eyes again, he found that the scene in front of him flickered, as if he had arrived in another space.

At this moment, the system's voice slowly sounded, breaking the silence around.

"It is detected that the host is now in a space-time vortex and may encounter a space-time storm at any time." The system's voice was calm and steady. "Does the host need help?"

Facing the system's inquiry, Yang Ling, who was in poor condition, quickly said: "Yes, I really need your help." There was a hint of anxiety and expectation in his voice.

"Okay, host, I will try to stabilize the space-time vortex and get you out safely."

The system's voice sounded again, and then an energy field enveloped the bodies of Yang Ling and others, allowing their bodies to gradually return to stability.

Yang Ling looked back at the others and found that they were also experiencing the same changes.

Their eyes gradually brightened, as if they were freed from some kind of restraint.

"Thank you, system." Yang Ling said to the system gratefully. The system just responded indifferently: "You're welcome, host, this is my duty."

With the help of the system, Yang Ling and the other two finally managed to escape from the time and space vortex.

After escaping, they were exhausted both physically and mentally, and the system's extradition brought them to a small and unstable world.

This small world is filled with a mysterious atmosphere that makes people shudder.

Yang Ling and the others looked around this small world and found that the environment here was extremely strange, with strange creatures and weird plants everywhere.

"Where is this?" Yang Ling asked the system with a frown.

The system was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know either, but the atmosphere here is very strange. It seems that many different energies are intertwined."

After a long while, the system seemed to have checked the surrounding environment and spoke again: "This world is very unstable. Host, you'd better find a safe place quickly."

Hearing the system's reminder, Yang Ling nodded.

Afterwards, he, Ying Zheng and Boston began to look for a suitable place to settle down.

After some searching, they finally found a cave that looked relatively safe.

"Although it's not very comfortable here, it's at least safer than outside." Yang Ling looked at the frowning Ying Zheng and comforted him.

Boston also looked around and nodded in agreement: "Yes, the most important task now is to find a way to get home."

Speaking of going home, Yang Ling couldn't help but think of his system. He held on to a glimmer of hope and asked the system if it had any good ideas.

The system was silent for a while before slowly replying, "Host, I am detecting the energy fluctuations of this world to see if there is anything I can use."

Hearing this, Yang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait here."

So the three of them waited patiently in the cave.

After a while, the system finally found some useful information. "Host, the energy fluctuations in this world are so magical!"

There was a hint of excitement in the system's voice, "The energy here seems to be alive!"

"There is life? That's amazing!" Yang Ling also became excited, "Then can this energy be absorbed?" He quickly asked the system.

"Of course you can, but you need to get recognition from this world first." The system explained, "You need to find the elemental spirits of this world and pass their tests before you can gain elemental power."

"Okay, let's go!" Yang Ling said excitedly.

So the three of them crossed the mountains and forests, crossed the rivers, cut through the thorns and bushes along the way, and finally arrived at a mysterious temple.

The atmosphere here is very strong, as if countless energies are interweaving and colliding.

Yang Ling took a deep breath and said excitedly: "This must be where the elemental spirit is!"

However, the system poured cold water on him at the right time: "Host, you have to be careful, it's very dangerous here."

Hearing the system's reminder, Yang Ling and the other two walked into the temple more cautiously.

The temple was full of traps and monsters. They moved forward cautiously, remaining vigilant at all times.

At the same time, they were also sensing the energy fluctuations around them, trying to find traces of the elemental spirits.

After a difficult exploration, they finally arrived at the center of the temple, where they saw four huge elemental spirits standing there, emitting dazzling light.

"This is the Elemental Spirit!" Yang Ling exclaimed, "As long as we pass their test, can we obtain the power of the element?" He looked at the system expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer. The system nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case. Yang Ling was immediately excited. He turned to Ying Zheng and Boston and said, "As long as we get the recognition of the four Elemental Spirits, we can master the power of this world."

After explaining, Yang Ling walked forward without hesitation and faced the four elemental spirits.

These four elemental spirits represent the elements of fire, water, wind, and earth respectively. As long as you pass their tests, you can gain the corresponding elemental power.

The Fire Elemental Spirit looked at Yang Ling who was the first to come over, and asked in a deep voice: "Human, do you have the courage to face the burning flames?"

Yang Ling answered without hesitation: "I have!"

After that, the Fire Elemental Spirit summoned a giant fire beast. The beast was huge, burning with flames, and looked extremely violent. Yang Ling knew that he could not take it lightly, so he quickly released his energy to form a solid shield to resist the attack of the fire beast.

Then, he summoned his sword, gripped the hilt tightly, and prepared for the upcoming battle. The fire beast roared deafeningly and pounced on Yang Ling. Yang Ling nimbly dodged the fire beast's attack, sometimes jumping up to avoid the licking of the flames, and sometimes dodging the violent claws.

However, the attack power of the flame beast was too strong, and Yang Ling's shield was instantly broken under the violent impact. In an instant, a heat wave hit him, and the attack of the flame beast made Yang Ling feel extremely hot and painful. But he did not retreat, but gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.

Yang Ling gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and released the surging energy in his body again, condensing it into a sharp energy sword.

He gripped the energy sword tightly and swung it fiercely towards the huge body of the flaming beast.

The sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, as harsh as tearing cloth. However, the skin of the fire beast was extremely tough, and Yang Ling's attack only made it retreat slightly, failing to cause any substantial damage.

Facing this tenacious enemy, Yang Ling was not discouraged. He took a deep breath and decided to use his unique skill - "Flame Dance".

In an instant, he soared into the air, and the air around him seemed to be ignited instantly, turning into a blazing sea of ​​fire that surrounded the flaming beast.

The giant fire beast struggled in the sea of ​​fire, its body constantly burned by the flames, and it let out miserable howls.

Yang Ling looked at this scene, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable pity surged in his heart. He knew very well that he could not let this fire beast continue to suffer such painful torture.

So, he resolutely stopped using his skills.

The fire beast took the opportunity to break free from the sea of ​​fire, fled in panic, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Although he failed to completely defeat the flaming beast, he gained the recognition of the Fire Elemental Spirit.

Next, it was Boston's turn to be tested. As soon as the fire elemental spirit finished its baptism, the water elemental spirit slowly asked, "Human, do any of you have enough patience and wisdom to control the flowing water?"

Seeing this, Boston stood up without hesitation and answered firmly: "I, I have the ability."

Upon hearing this, the Water Elemental Spirit summoned a giant water beast. The beast's body was constantly overflowing with turbulent water, and it looked extremely ferocious. Seeing this, Boston did not hesitate to use his own original power and cleverly transformed the water beast's attack into his own power.

At the same time, he waved the trident in his hand and steadily resisted the turbulent water impact of the water beast. Boston concentrated and calmed down, thinking carefully about how to deal with this unpredictable water flow. Finally, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a brilliant idea.

He used his own power to control the direction of the water flow and bounced back the attack of the water beast. Faced with this sudden counterattack, the water beast was terrified and turned around and fled the scene. Seeing this, the water element spirit also expressed his approval of Boston.

In this way, Boston, like Yang Ling, successfully received the baptism of the water element spirit. After the baptism, the wind element spirit and the earth element spirit simultaneously cast their eyes on Ying Zheng and asked in unison: "Human, do you have enough agility and flexibility to deal with the gentle caress of the wind?" "Human, do you have enough strength and perseverance to bear the heavy pressure of the earth?"

Facing the questions from the two elemental spirits, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought for a moment. He was hesitant and didn't know how to choose. At this time, he looked to Yang Ling for help and asked, "Sir, which one do you think I should choose?"

Yang Ling pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, you were appointed by heaven, and you should have soared above the nine heavens. However, Nuwa created humans, and the earth is where we belong. If you have confidence in yourself, then I suggest you take these two tests at the same time."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng looked at Yang Ling in surprise. After Yang Ling finished speaking, he took out a magic weapon from his arms, handed it to Ying Zheng, and said firmly: "Your Majesty, you are the son of heaven, you should be brave and fearless."

Ying Zheng took the magic weapon, his eyes gleaming with determination. He turned to the spirits of the wind and earth elements and said, "I will accept your test."

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the wind element summoned a giant wind beast. The beast's body continuously emitted strong wind force, appearing to be extremely swift. With the help of the magic weapon given by Yang Ling, Ying Zheng's body became extremely agile and flexible.

He cleverly dodged the attack of the wind beast, but at this moment, the earth element spirit also summoned a earth beast. The beast was huge and looked extremely heavy. However, Ying Zheng did not panic. He responded calmly and used his strength to form a solid barrier, successfully resisting the fierce attack of the wind beast.

After fending off the wind beast, Ying Zheng turned around and came to the earth beast, deliberately provoking it to anger. The enraged earth beast began to chase Ying Zheng frantically, but Ying Zheng's figure was extremely agile, and he always dodged the earth beast's fatal attack at the critical moment.

At this moment, the giant wind beast suddenly broke through Ying Zheng's barrier and pounced on him.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng flashed and instantly came close to the wind beast. The earth beast followed closely behind, refusing to give up.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Ying Zheng immediately increased the intensity of his attack, angering the earth beast once again.

The enraged Earth Beast began to charge around, and finally crashed directly into the Wind Beast. The two beasts collided in the air, and both were injured.

Ying Zheng looked at this scene with a smug smile on his face. In the end, he successfully gained the recognition of the spirits of the wind element and the earth element.

When the elemental spirits saw that Yang Ling and the other two had passed their tests, they sent them out of the elemental realm.

After leaving the Elemental Realm, Yang Ling, Boston and Ying Zheng decided to find a place to rest. They found an open space in a dense forest, sat on the ground, and closed their eyes to rest.

As night falls, the starry sky shines brightly and a gentle breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Yang Ling sat quietly on a stone, gazing into the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Boston and Ying Zheng leaned against the tree trunk, observing their surroundings vigilantly and looking around from time to time, fearing that any danger might suddenly come.

They all know that this world is full of unknowns and dangers, so they dare not relax at all.

The next morning, Yang Ling and his companions continued on their journey home, hoping to find their way back as soon as possible.

They traveled for hours through dense forests, across grass and streams, until suddenly they came upon a wide open space.

In the middle of the clearing stood a tall stone pillar, covered with strange symbols. (End of this chapter)
