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

He was startled and wanted to escape from the restraint of this power, but was horrified to find that he could not move at all.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a huge monster, covered with hair and emitting a strong smell of blood. Its eyes flashed with ferocity, as if it wanted to eat Yang Ling alive.

Yang Ling only felt that his vitality was constantly draining away. He tried his best to escape from the claws of the monster, but to no avail.

At this critical moment, he suddenly remembered a spell he had learned.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he closed his eyes and began to chant a spell.

As his voice rang out, the runes around the altar began to change, and a powerful energy surged towards the monster.

After the monster let out a scream, it turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

Yang Ling only felt that his body was also released. He quickly put away the jade talisman, feeling very grateful.

Then he turned around and wanted to leave the formation.

However, he discovered that all the runes around the altar had been shattered and the formation had been cracked by him.

At this moment, Yang Ling felt that his body had become much lighter, and the pressure on his body disappeared without a trace. He was delighted and decided to take the risk and explore again.

So he continued to walk forward and walked straight to the center of the altar. However, something unexpected happened, and he was teleported away again.

This time, he was teleported to a large open space.

The further we walked, the wider it became, and the space around us became increasingly vast, as if it had no boundaries.

Yang Ling's heart was filled with curiosity and desire to explore, and he continued to move forward.

Finally, he stopped in front of a huge rock.

I saw many things placed in front of the boulder, including some ancient books and jade slips.

These ancient books and jade slips all emit a faint glow and are obviously not ordinary things.

Yang Ling was delighted and planned to study these ancient books and jade slips first to see if there was any information or treasures that could be used.

He casually flipped through a few ancient books and found that they all recorded various natural treasures or secret manuals of martial arts.

However, these secrets were not of much use to him.

"It seems to be of no use?" Yang Ling shook his head and sighed, preparing to leave here and continue looking for other valuable clues.

However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly found a yellowed parchment scroll in the interlayer of the ancient book. He picked it up curiously and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, his face was overjoyed and his heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

This parchment scroll turned out to be a treasure map! Yang Ling was overjoyed, he quickly put the treasure map away, and then continued to look through the remaining ancient books and jade slips.

At this moment, a jade pendant suddenly fell to the ground.

Yang Ling reached out and picked it up, examining it carefully, only to find that the spiritual power in his body was pouring into the jade pendant uncontrollably.

After the jade pendant absorbed enough spiritual energy, a dazzling white light flashed on it.

Then, a landscape painting vaguely emerged from the jade pendant, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Could this jade pendant be related to the treasure map on the parchment scroll?" Yang Ling pondered in his heart. He picked up the jade pendant and shone it towards the sun. Sure enough, it flashed a dazzling white light again.

At the same time, a line of words also appeared clearly on the jade pendant: "Piaomiao Immortal, Xuanyu Cave Mansion."

Yang Ling looked at the jade pendant and parchment scroll in his hand, and muttered to himself: "Piaomiao Immortal? Could it be that this relic and altar were left by this Piaomiao Immortal?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that this ethereal immortal was quite interesting. He actually went to so much trouble to leave behind so many levels to test future generations.

However, no matter what his reason was for leaving these checkpoints, it was not important to Yang Ling. As long as there was something good to gain, it was fine, he thought to himself.

Although what he has gained so far is of little use to him, it is still possible to give it to Ying Zheng and others to win their hearts, which is also a good way to use it.

If it is really not needed, it would be good to just throw it to the system for recycling in exchange for usable props, he thought to himself.

However, just as he was about to continue to see if there was anything else he could gain, a vortex suddenly appeared under his feet. Yang Ling, caught off guard, fell directly into the vortex and was teleported away.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself teleported back to the altar.

And the rune formation on the altar was miraculously restored to its original state, which surprised him very much.

However, before he could recover, he was teleported away again. The continuous teleportation made Yang Ling feel a little dizzy and at a loss.

Fortunately, the transmission finally ended and he returned to the original altar.

At this time, Li Yun and others were anxiously surrounding the altar, trying to break the altar's formation.

Seeing Yang Ling being teleported back suddenly, Li Yun and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They gathered around him and asked about Yang Ling's situation with concern.

After Yang Ling stood firm, he patted his chest with a smile and said with emotion: "I am so lucky! I didn't expect that I could successfully break this formation."

"But the illusion of this formation was so powerful that I almost got caught in it." He went on to say, and then briefly explained his experience to everyone.

After telling his story, Yang Ling laid out his gains in front of everyone.

Ying Zheng and Boston were not polite at all and directly picked out the treasures they wanted.

Wang Yue and Li Yun felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to take it.

Seeing this, Yang Ling picked up a few treasures that they could use and threw them to Wang Yue and Li Yun.

"You two don't have to be polite." Yang Ling said to the two of them with a smile, and handed them three treasures each.

After Yang Ling said those words, Li Yun and Wang Yue reached out and took the items that Yang Ling handed to them.

The two of them were instantly filled with joy, and they bowed deeply to Yang Ling and said in unison: "Thank you, sir."

On the other side, Ying Zheng and Boston, who had just finished selecting their items, also smiled and thanked Yang Ling. Yang Ling looked at them and nodded slightly.

"Our harvest this time is pretty good," Yang Ling said calmly, his eyes sweeping across the joy on everyone's faces that could not be concealed, "I hope we can continue to maintain this and make persistent efforts."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Wang Yue and Li Yun quickly echoed, and Ying Zheng and Boston also expressed their agreement. "Of course, we will definitely have a bigger harvest this time!" Ying Zheng said with a smile and full of confidence. Boston also nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Yang Ling, Wang Yue and others began to discuss the next plan.

After some discussion, they decided to go to the next target location together tomorrow morning.

After the discussion was completed, the four of them, led by Yang Ling, left the altar together.

As for the remaining treasures, they will continue to be kept by Yang Ling. After all, if these treasures are left outside, they will inevitably attract attention. If they fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it will be dangerous.

The altar at this time had become empty. Apart from the flashing runes, there was nothing else.

Early the next morning, Yang Ling and others gathered near the altar, preparing to set off to another place.

Yang Ling took out the parchment scroll and the jade pendant, and after some careful study, he finally determined the approximate location.

At this time, the black demon beast, who had been feeling the breath of the jade pendant, suddenly said, "This is the master's jade pendant. How come it is here with you?"

Hearing this, Yang Ling looked at the black little demon beast beside him in surprise. He really didn't expect that this little guy actually had an owner.

This surprised him.

"Master? You actually have an owner, not a wild monster?" Yang Ling asked in surprise.

Hearing Yang Ling's words, the little black monster glared at him angrily and said, "Of course, I not only have a master, but my master is also very powerful, much stronger than you." Hearing the words of the little black monster, Yang Ling was shocked.

No wonder this little guy is not afraid of practitioners at all, it turns out that he has the support of his master. If this is the case, then the strength of this black little demon beast should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling couldn't help but look at the little black monster carefully.

The black monster seemed to notice Yang Ling's gaze, snorted coldly, and turned away. Yang Ling didn't care and directly called everyone to set off.

Their destination this time is Nanling, where it is said that there is a cave where the immortal Piaomiao once lived.

After all, the parchment scroll and jade pendant in Yang Ling's hand were left by the Immortal Piaomiao.

When hearing that Yang Ling and the others were planning to go to Nanling, the little black demon beast hurriedly said, “You guys are going to Nanling? There are many demon beasts there, not only demon kings, but also demon emperors. Do you really want to go?”

The little black monster looked at Yang Ling with some concern.

After hearing what the little black demon beast said, Yang Ling looked at it with contempt and said, "Haha, Demon King? So what if he's a Demon King? I'll kill him anyway!"

Hearing Yang Ling's arrogant words, the little black monster was speechless.

However, it also knew that the strength of Yang Ling and others was not weak, and many practitioners were adventurers. They liked to hone themselves in danger, just like its master Liu Piaomiao, who always ran to where there was danger.

Thinking of this, the black demon beast sighed humanely and said, "Since you want to go, I will take you there. But it is really dangerous there, you must be mentally prepared." After that, the black demon beast flew towards the Nanling Mountains at a very fast speed. Yang Ling and others had no choice but to quickly catch up with it.

Soon, a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles came into view. Yang Ling and the others were shocked when they saw this scene.

However, after the shock, they discovered a rather strange situation.

After entering Nanling, the speed of the black little monster suddenly slowed down, obviously it was worried about something or was afraid of something.

Although they felt strange, they did not ask any more questions.

After all, every place has its own rules, and if you violate them, you might get into big trouble.

Therefore, everyone remained silent and quietly followed the little black monster.

A quarter of an hour later, the black monster stopped. Its eyes were fixed on the distance, and its dark and deep pupils kept moving, as if it was observing something.

The place where everyone is now is in the deep mountains of Nanling Mountains. Here, no one knows what kind of horrible things they will encounter.

However, Yang Ling and his friends believed in the ability of the little black demon beast. Even if there was any danger, it would definitely inform them in advance so that they could be prepared.

Sure enough, after everyone had been moving back and forth for a while, the little black monster suddenly stopped.

Seeing the little black monster stop moving forward, Yang Ling also stopped.

He looked around and saw dense forests and towering trees. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Let's rest here for a while."

Ying Zheng also agreed and said: "Well, let's take a rest first. We have rushed all the way here and are indeed a little tired." After that, Li Yun took the lead and found a huge rock to sit down.

The others did not hesitate and looked for places to rest.

As for Yang Ling, he walked around for a while and stopped only after making sure there was no danger.

However, at that moment just now, he realized that something was wrong.

Along the way, the group had not encountered any ferocious beasts, nor had they seen any traces of demonic beasts.

Logically speaking, this situation should be very abnormal, because although this is the outskirts of Nanling, it is impossible that there are no low-level monsters. Now they can't even see a hair, how can it not be surprising?
Yang Ling looked at the sky, but in the end he didn't say what he was wondering. He just found a clean place to sit down and closed his eyes to rest.

The black demon beast walked to the lake not far away, looking at the blue water, his heart was full of mixed emotions. But soon, he regained his composure.

When the sunlight of the next morning shone throughout the ancient forest, Yang Ling slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of Yang Ling and others.

After looking at Yang Ling and the others, the leader asked, "Are you also coming to Nanling to participate in the beast hunting competition?"

Faced with the other party's questions, Yang Ling and others were a little confused for a moment.

Beast hunting competition? What is this? They had never expected to meet other teams at this time. They were here to find the inheritance cave of the Immortal Piaomiao, not to participate in any beast hunting competition.

However, Yang Ling and the others did not want to reveal too many of their cards, so they all chose to remain silent tacitly.

After all, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, so it’s better not to say anything.

At this moment, a woman began to tell Yang Ling and others about the situation of the beast hunting conference.

It turns out that the Beast Hunting Competition is an annual grand event in the Northern Province. The five major states will send disciples to participate, and each state will select 300 disciples to represent the state in the trial.

The winners will receive generous rewards and honorary titles, and even those who perform outstandingly can be accepted as disciples by various sects to learn from them. (End of this chapter)
