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

Yang Ling and the others walked closer and found that this was actually the entrance to a portal.

The portal is surrounded by lush green grass, set against the blue sky and white clouds, which is a beautiful sight.

There is a mysterious energy in the air at the door that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Yang Ling and others were immersed in this beautiful scene, seeming to have forgotten the passage of time.

However, they were suddenly awakened from their intoxication by the roar of wild beasts in the distance.

Yang Ling and the others did not dare to delay and quickly walked into the portal.

It was pitch black inside the door, as if they had entered another unknown world. They groped their way forward cautiously, and after turning a corner, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

A wonderful scene appeared before their eyes: the vast sky, the lush jungle, the crystal clear rivers, the towering mountains...all of this amazed them.

In the distance, you can see some strange creatures moving back and forth in the woods.

Yang Ling and others couldn't help but marvel at the wonder and mystery of this world.

However, at this moment, a huge creature from another world suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Be careful, this is a 'devil bat'!" Yang Ling hurriedly reminded Ying Zheng and Boston beside him.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately became alert.

Then, they worked together and rushed towards the demon bat, brandishing their weapons.

The demon bat is extremely agile and makes shrill screams from time to time, which makes people feel scared.

However, Yang Ling and his companions were not intimidated. They fought bravely and had a fierce battle with the devil bats.

"Be careful of its stinger!" Yang Ling reminded Ying Zheng and Boston again, fearing that they would be accidentally stung.

Hearing this, the two men became more careful in dodging the demon bat's poisonous stinger attacks.

After a desperate fight, Yang Ling and his two companions finally succeeded in defeating the demon bat.

"Finally got rid of it!" Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion, "However, this is just a small creature in this world. We will most likely encounter more powerful enemies in the future."

He reminded everyone with a serious look on his face, his heart filled with anxiety.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "Let's go, let's find a safe place to rest first." After that, he led everyone away quickly.

As night fell, Yang Ling sat cross-legged on a thick tree trunk to practice.

At this moment, everything he had experienced today kept flashing through his mind. He originally thought that this small world was not stable and there shouldn't be much danger.

However, the reality was not like that. They encountered all kinds of dangers, and if they had not been lucky, they would have died long ago.

Yang Ling knew that he had to work harder in his cultivation, otherwise he would die in this strange world sooner or later.

Just as he was lost in thought, a huge monster suddenly appeared in their sight.

This is a terrifying beast that is dozens of meters tall, covered with blood-red scales and has six thick and powerful legs.

Each leg was much thicker than Yang Ling's body, and flashed with a sharp light.

If you get kicked by it, I'm afraid not even a bone will be left.

What’s even more terrifying is that thick liquid continuously spurts out of its mouth, corroding the air like sulfuric acid.

When it drips onto the ground, it makes a sizzling sound, which obviously means it is highly poisonous.

"This is the legendary ghoul!" Yang Ling showed a look of fear on his face.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown when he heard this. The three of them faced this huge ghoul, standing together in tacit understanding, dealing with this sudden crisis together.

"This guy doesn't look easy to deal with." Boston said with a frown.

"That's right, we must work together to defeat it." Ying Zheng gripped the sword tightly in his hand, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Yang Ling secretly contacted the system and used the power of the system to carefully study the weaknesses of the ghouls.

"Its scales are very strong. We must find a way to break it." He said in a deep voice, already having a preliminary plan in mind.

After some careful study, Yang Ling finally spoke.

"Let me try," he said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Boston suddenly jumped up, and the trident in his hand began to quickly condense into ice arrows.

In an instant, countless ice arrows whizzed towards the ferocious zombies like dense raindrops.

However, the scales on the ghoul were extremely hard, and the ice arrows could not penetrate them at all.

"This won't work. We must join forces to deal with it." Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly and said to Boston.

The three of them looked at each other, understood each other's meaning, and began to cooperate tacitly.

Boston continued to use ice arrows to attract the attention of the zombies, so that they could not be distracted.

Ying Zheng would seize the opportunity, rush forward from time to time, and stab the zombies' legs with a sword, trying to weaken their mobility.

Yang Ling, on the other hand, studied every detail of the ghouls intently, trying to find their weaknesses so that he could launch a fatal attack.

After a fierce battle, the three finally discovered the zombie's fatal weakness.

It turns out that their abdomens are not protected by scales, but just ordinary skin, which is relatively fragile.

"Attack its abdomen!" Yang Ling shouted loudly with a gleam in his eyes.

The three quickly adjusted their tactics and led the ghouls to an open area. Boston continued to use ice arrows to divert the ghouls' attention, preventing them from paying attention to other directions.

Ying Zheng rushed forward from one side to help Boston further distract the ghouls, while Yang Ling quietly hid in the dark, waiting for the best time to attack.

Finally, a brief moment appeared. When the ghoul attacked Boston and Ying Zheng, its body paused slightly, revealing its relatively vulnerable abdomen.

Yang Ling did not hesitate at all, and immediately took advantage of this opportunity, exerting all his strength, and slapped the ghoul's abdomen fiercely. With a loud bang, the ghoul let out a scream, and its huge body fell to the ground.

"We won!" The three of them hugged each other excitedly, their faces filled with the joy of victory.

"Huh! Finally got rid of this troublesome guy." Boston breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although the ghoul had been killed, Yang Ling and the other two felt exhausted. They sat on the ground to rest for a while, and then continued on their way.

After passing through several mountains and forests, the three finally arrived at a vast plain. Yang Ling looked up at the mountains and forests ahead and suddenly found that on a huge rock that towered into the sky, a white palace could be vaguely seen, like a fairyland.

"Look! We have reached our destination!" Yang Ling pointed excitedly at the palace in front and said to the two.

Hearing this, the three of them rushed towards the mysterious palace. When they arrived at the outskirts of the palace, they found that the palace was built on a cliff, and it was locked tightly with huge iron chains on all sides, making it impossible to climb up.

The palace emanated a pale yellow fluorescent light, which was hazy and mysterious, as if it were really a fairyland where gods lived.

"What a beautiful and mysterious place." Boston couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"What should we do next?" Ying Zheng turned to look at Yang Ling beside him and asked.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment, then said: "You two stay at the door, I'll go in and check out the situation."

After saying that, Yang Ling walked straight towards the palace gate. However, the palace gate was locked tightly with iron chains and was not easy to open.

Yang Ling walked around the gate several times, carefully studying every detail. Finally, he found a tiny gap, which might be a good place to start.

With the help of the system, Yang Ling instantly turned into a small flying insect. Ying Zheng and Boston looked at Yang Ling who had turned into a small flying insect, their eyes full of wonder.

However, Yang Ling did not have the time to explain this to them. He simply slipped into the palace through the tiny gap.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yang Ling found that it was pitch black and terribly quiet. However, the atmosphere here gave people a gloomy and strange feeling, which made people shudder.

"There must be some treasure hidden here." Yang Ling thought to himself. He did not dare to be negligent and explored the surroundings carefully.

He walked along the dark passage, bumping into walls and groping from time to time. Finally, after some twists and turns, he came to the deepest part of the palace. There were many ancient books and precious treasures placed here, which made people dazzled.

Yang Ling was delighted and put all the treasures into the system backpack. These things were very valuable, and since he had come across them, he would not let them go easily.

Just as Yang Ling was about to leave this place, a portrait on the wall suddenly caught his attention. The portrait showed a warrior in armor, carrying a huge double-edged axe behind him, looking majestic. The double-edged axe exuded an astonishing murderous aura and cold light, and people could tell at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.

In addition, Yang Ling also found a box at the bottom of the portrait. Curious, he turned back into human form and picked up the box to examine it carefully. Then, he gently opened the box.

In the box was a ring, golden in color, inlaid with seven green beads, emitting a faint green light. This ring was obviously not an ordinary item, Yang Ling couldn't help but pick it up and look at it carefully.

However, just as he picked up the ring, it suddenly emitted a green light that enveloped him. Yang Ling felt a strong sense of dizziness, and his eyes went dark before he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he had been transported to a strange world. This world was very strange, the sky was emerald green, and the ground was covered with a layer of lush green grass, like a green ocean.

Yang Ling looked around and felt that the world was full of mysterious power. At this moment, a melodious music came from afar, which was melodious and beautiful.

He followed the sound and found a huge square where a warrior in armor was practicing swordplay. The warrior's swordplay was superb, and every move was full of power and beauty.

Yang Ling was attracted by the swordsman's swordsmanship and couldn't help but walk up to the warrior and greet him. The warrior was surprised to see Yang Ling suddenly appear in front of him. However, he still greeted Yang Ling in a friendly manner and started chatting with him.

During the conversation, the warrior told Yang Ling that the name of this world is Emerald Land, which is made of world fragments. Yang Ling was full of curiosity about this world and talked with the warrior for a long time.

After the chat, the warrior brought Yang Ling to the edge of a lake. The lake was crystal clear, and the surface of the lake sparkled like a huge sapphire. Yang Ling stood on the shore, took a deep breath, and felt the breath flowing in the air, feeling relaxed and happy.

Suddenly, the warrior broke the silence and said, "Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is too monotonous."

Hearing this, Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the scenery here is indeed beautiful, but I have seen more beautiful places before."

The warrior listened to Yang Ling's words, nodded, and said with emotion: "It is true. For example, the snow-capped mountains in the north that I have seen before, the scenery there is also so beautiful that people can't help but linger."

Yang Ling's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he asked in confusion: "You've been there? Then why are you trapped here?"

The warrior smiled and said, "Because I lost the bet, I am trapped here."

Yang Ling suddenly realized what was going on and looked at the warrior in front of him with sympathy. The warrior smiled bitterly and shook his head, continuing, "But it doesn't matter. I'll just accept the loss."

After pondering for a moment, Yang Ling asked in a deep voice: "I wonder how I can get you to leave here?"

The warrior thought for a moment and said slowly: "As long as someone can help me gather the spirits of the four symbols, I can break the seal and leave here."

"The Spirits of the Four Symbols? Where are they? What do they look like?" Yang Ling asked.

The warrior shook his head helplessly and said, "I only know that the spirits of the four symbols are scattered in the four directions of this world, but I don't know what they look like."

He sighed and continued, "As for whether it actually exists, I have no idea."

Hearing this, Yang Ling said thoughtfully: "In that case, I will give it a try. If I can find it, I will definitely bring it back to you!"

The warrior nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, it would be best if you can bring it back, but it doesn't matter if you can't. After all, you have to accept the loss if you lose the bet."

"I understand!" Yang Ling nodded solemnly, looking at the warrior in front of him, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Well, goodbye then." After saying that, Yang Ling turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After three days and three nights of hard work, Yang Ling finally arrived at the Far North. The world here was completely different from the world he had been to before. The land was covered with white snow, and it was as beautiful as a fairyland.

He looked up at the sky and saw the stars twinkling in the sky, emitting a mysterious and charming light. (End of this chapter)
