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

Ying Zheng observed the surroundings and shook his head calmly: "This place is very large. If you want to get the treasure, you have to go deeper. The truly powerful things are all inside."

The man also quickly agreed, "I just used magic to search, and the treasures are indeed in there." Just then, a breath came to his face, and the man's eyes suddenly lit up. It was a sword with mysterious patterns on it. Although he didn't know how long it had been stored, he could still feel the power it exuded.

One can imagine how powerful this sword is. Its owner must be a powerful person. Yang Ling and others walked in front of the sword and looked at it carefully. The sword sensed their breath and made a ferocious sound. Then, next to the sword, a figure gradually emerged. It was a white-haired old man.

He held the sword tightly in his hand and said in a cold voice: "If you want to get this sword, you must accept my approval. At the same time, you must abide by my rules and not violate them in any way." Yang Ling immediately became interested and asked: "I wonder what the rules are here, senior?"

"The rule is that you only have one chance to enter here. No matter what kind of treasure you like, you can only try it once. If you don't get it, it proves that you are not destined to get the treasure." The old man said word by word, explaining calmly. Yang Ling raised his eyebrows, thinking it was interesting.

"It seems easy, but it's not that difficult." The old man's expression became very cold when he heard Yang Ling's words, as if he had heard a joke. "It's not as easy as you say. If you use some dirty tricks, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction among the treasures. As for you, you may die without a burial place!"

Yang Ling smiled, not showing much interest in the sword. After all, he already had a sword. Seeing Yang Ling's lack of interest, Ying Zheng rubbed his palms and said eagerly, "I am somewhat interested. I wonder what you want to test me with, old man?"

"It is a test of your strength and willpower. As long as you are strong enough, you will be recognized by me." The old man looked Ying Zheng up and down and said calmly. With Ying Zheng's strength, he could give it a try, but it was just barely enough.

"You can give it a try. Judging from your overall strength, you are not bad. If you are lucky, you may even get this sword. It all depends on how capable you are!" Ying Zheng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the other party could actually see his realm. His expression became serious, and gradually calmed down. He thought to himself that things might not be that simple.

He walked forward and placed his hand on the sword. The old man put his hands behind his back, and with a sound, a terrifying force swept through Ying Zheng's body. He felt a huge pressure on his body, his pupils shrank sharply, and his whole face turned pale and bloodless. A pain hit his heart directly, making him tremble all over.

The old man was somewhat dissatisfied, and his words were full of sarcasm: "With such little ability, if you want to get this sword, I advise you to stop now!" Ying Zheng gritted his teeth, his anger rising. He endured great pain and stopped where he was. No matter what, he was also a child of destiny, and he absolutely could not be insulted like this.

His eyes revealed an unprecedented determination, even if the skills were mutually exclusive, he would never back down. Besides, this was just a remnant soul, how dare it look down on him. One after another, the voices rang out from him, and the power surged wantonly, almost wanting to swallow him up. In addition, there was a strong killing intent, ready to kill him at any time.

He clenched his fists, cold sweat on his forehead. In the end, he couldn't resist and took a step back. The old man took Ying Zheng's actions into consideration. Although Ying Zheng's abilities in all aspects were not very strong, he had the heart of a strong man. This was indeed courageous.

However, even if Ying Zheng tried his best, he couldn't make up for the disadvantages brought by the conflict between his skills. He still couldn't get the recognition of the treasure, and his body was shaken out. He was panting and sweating. Just a little short, Ying Zheng clenched his fists, feeling more unwilling in his heart.

If his realm could be improved a little bit, he would definitely be able to protect himself with his strength, the old man calmly withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"It's true that it's still a little short of perfection, but seeing how hard you've worked, I can tell you that this treasure conflicts with the technique you've been practicing. It's not easy for you to hold on until here, so why not choose something that's more suitable for you!"

Ying Zheng nodded and had no choice but to give up. Yang Ling lost interest when he saw this scene and turned to leave. The old man noticed Yang Ling and felt that Yang Ling was just a show-off and arrogant.

"You don't even dare to try, and you're still thinking about the more powerful treasures inside? Don't you want to give it a try?" The old man said to Yang Ling, with more contempt in his eyes. Although he couldn't see Yang Ling's strength, he subjectively thought that Yang Ling was not much better.

When Yang Ling heard the old man's words, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't react for a long time. Was this old man talking to him? It was completely different from what he thought.

The old man continued calmly, "What else? Didn't you say before that you would definitely win? You must be scared now!"

"I think your companions are better than you!" Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. Does this man know what he is talking about? What does it have to do with them? Even if he doesn't like Yang Ling, that's his business. What does it have to do with them? If Yang Ling gets angry, they can't bear it.

Yang Ling raised the corner of his mouth, thinking that the old guy might have misunderstood.

"There must be other reasons why I didn't choose this!" Of course the old man didn't believe Yang Ling's words. He didn't dare to try. Besides not being strong enough, what other reasons could there be? The old man turned his head to the side.

"You must be scared, what else could it be?" Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said casually.

"I just think that opportunities should be used on the right treasures. Your treasure is obviously not suitable for me, and it is useless!" As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, the old man's eyes widened and his body trembled. Did he know what he was talking about? What is waste?

It was really too arrogant, and the tone of this person was too big. The old man laughed loudly. If he was not waiting for the next owner of the treasure, he would have taught Yang Ling a lesson long ago.

"You are so arrogant. If I hadn't saved my energy to deal with other things, I would have finished you off right now!" Yang Ling didn't want to waste words with him. Although the sword was powerful, what was more important was how to use it. Even when fighting monsters, he had to rely on himself to activate it. This thing was really useless. Besides, he already had a sword, so why did he need so many treasures?
The old man stared at Yang Ling, and Yang Ling wanted to turn around and leave. Ying Zheng curiously stepped forward and asked, "Are you really not going to try it?" The others looked at each other, more puzzled, they could feel the huge power contained in it.

There is nothing wrong with getting a treasure. Yang Ling glanced at Ying Zheng and said casually, "Don't you think there will be a lot of treasures here? If you waste such a good opportunity early, you will definitely regret it later!"

Ying Zheng touched his nose when he heard Yang Ling's words. "Well, I'm not as strong as you, so I'll just get a more ordinary treasure. Besides, this treasure is not that important!"

Just as Yang Ling was about to speak, he heard footsteps outside. They looked up and saw two black figures appearing in front of them. They were very fast and it only took a moment...

He frowned slightly, for no other reason than that this breath was not from a remnant soul, but from a living person. In addition to them, there were other people here. Yang Ling turned his head and looked at the man, wondering if he was lying to him.

The man was sweating inwardly, and was even more confused. He couldn't understand why this happened. It was different from what they had expected.

"It seems that someone arrived before us!" The two men were also a little alert. Yang Ling took a closer look and found that they were two younger people.

They exuded power and looked a little arrogant. They must be of high status, which was why they looked down upon others. The two men turned their eyes to the few people.

One of them asked, "I guess you guys are here for the treasures here, right? I want this sword, so don't fight with me. I just don't know where you got it from?"

Just when Ying Zheng was about to speak, Yang Ling stepped forward and made up an excuse. "We came here by chance. I wonder who you two are?" In fact, in order not to reveal his identity, he did not reveal his identity right away, because he guessed that these two people were not from the White Corps and the Black Corps, but must be from another force.

There are probably other connections in this place, countless, so be careful. They asked lightly, not interested in this. "Well, we are actually from the Qingxuan Sect, just to get this sword!" Qingxuan Sect? The man was a little surprised. Qingxuan Sect is a sect here, very powerful, even their White Corps and Black Corps dare not act rashly.

How could I meet them here? He looked at Yang Ling and whispered in his ear. Yang Ling narrowed his eyes. After all, there should be more than one entrance here. The news that the Void Land was opened must have spread quickly. I believe there are other people who can come in.

That meant they would be in big trouble. Those people looked at Yang Ling and thought that they were people from a remote area and their performance was nothing special.

"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to have much strength, but this sword is protected and not something that ordinary people can subdue!" The man rolled his eyes and hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Indeed, with our strength, how could we possibly subdue this sword? It seems like you two will definitely have no problem!" He smiled, and quickly went up to them and talked a lot, and also got a lot of information from them. The two men were named Chen Zhi and Han Shuo.

Both of them were core disciples from the Qingxuan Sect. The reason they came to the Void Land was to get the treasures inside. Not only that, people from other sects and families also came. So after they came in, they came directly for the things here, and their main purpose was to get the sword.

From the two people's tone, it can be known that this sword is a very valuable treasure. No wonder the old man looked down on them. Han Shuo had a smile on his face.

"You don't know that anyone who can enter here will definitely be favored by the wire, and I am the chosen one!" He looked confident, and obviously he had cultivated to a certain level, and was only one step away from breaking through to a higher level. He was worthy of being a core disciple. In the Black Army, he was also considered a top strongman, the man thought with a smile.

"Why don't we go together? We can have someone to look after us along the way!" Although they were a little reluctant, it didn't hurt to take them along. Maybe it could help avoid some risks. The man turned and looked at Yang Ling.

"Why don't we go with them and see if we can find another exit? We can't stay here forever. It's no good for us!" Yang Ling nodded and said nothing more. They had to turn around and go back. The old man saw Yang Ling and the others coming back, and the corners of his mouth rose. He had already concluded in his heart that no one could resist the temptation of the sword.

"Even if you beg me, I won't give you the sword. People like you don't deserve the sword's recognition. Just give up!" Yang Ling frowned, thinking that this was nonsense. Wasn't he kidding?
"I think this is quite normal, and it's pretty much what I thought." Yang Ling shrugged and didn't take it to heart. They had other things to do, but the people beside them seemed a little excited. Han Shuo immediately stepped forward and treated the old man with respect, which was completely different from how he treated them before. Yang Ling was stunned.

"We are the ones who want to get the treasure. I wonder if you can let us try. Maybe we can do it. Please!" Their mouths twitched. Who could not hear the flattering meaning in his words? With this look, they thought he saved the old man's life. Yang Ling shrugged. This had nothing to do with him.

"You have some experience, why not give it a try? If you want to try, just step forward, don't hesitate!" They looked at each other, stepped forward, and placed their hands on the sword. The power of the sword swirled around them, and Ying Zheng watched from the side.

"This man's martial arts skills are perfectly compatible with the sword. It seems that he does have some strength, and he is extraordinary!" Yang Ling frowned. It was different from what he thought, but he had no interest in it. What did it have to do with him who got the sword?

At this time, the old man smiled and said slowly: "Yes, if you can comprehend this treasure, it proves that you are extraordinary, but what is more important is your willpower."

Han Shuo's eyes widened, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and quickly connected with the sword. There seemed to be a strong force surging in his body. With a muffled groan, he spat out blood from his mouth, but did not retreat, but used his skills to fight against the sword. The two were evenly matched.

The boy crossed his arms and said confidently, "His strength is one of the best in our Qingxuan Sect. It's easy for him to subdue this sword!" This was naturally said to Yang Ling and others, to show who is the real strong one. However, they were used to such people who pretended to be so, and had no interest in him.

The spiritual energy around him surged, and the air waves came one after another. Han Shuo's face was pale, and his lips were bloodless. After a while, a mark slowly appeared on his palm.

As the mark appeared, his aura became stronger. Han Shuo held the sword. He was always determined to get what he set his eyes on. The old man nodded with satisfaction. No matter from which aspect, Han Shuo was a child of destiny and worthy of his sword.

At such a young age, he has already mastered a great skill. Given time, he will surely reach the state of perfection. It is not a loss for the sword to fall into his hands. The old man is not in a hurry. He wants to see how much potential this boy has!

The power transformed into countless white lights and poured into his body. After a moment of stalemate, his physical strength began to fail. At the critical moment, the old man interrupted him in time.

"You are quite strong. This sword has chosen you. I hope you will work hard in the future and live up to my expectations!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, the terrifying power disappeared instantly. Han Shuo was extremely excited, and his tone was a little happy.

"Thank you, senior. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been so successful!" The old man thought for a moment and slowly said, "Your qualifications are not bad, and the people who came with you are not bad either. You are not like some ignorant brats who dare to question my strength!" After saying that, he turned his eyes to Yang Ling. He was just a remnant soul, and he was not afraid of being reduced to ashes. How could he bear Yang Ling's anger?
Yang Ling was full of doubts, but he quickly agreed: "Don't worry, this sword will be even more powerful in my hands!" This is one of the best treasures. Treasures are hard to find in the world, and it is right to go to the void this time. His strength is not too strong, but he is proficient in swordsmanship and has reached a certain level.

If we can get this treasure, it will be an explanation to the sect. Han Shuo held the sword tightly, feeling the power in it. With this sword, it will be much easier to fight and kill enemies in the future.

The corners of his mouth rose, and he suddenly thought of something.

“By the way, are there other treasures here? I only saw some treasure remnants when I first came in!” The old man sneered, raised his chin, and looked arrogant.

"How is it possible? There are so many treasures here. Can we find them just by chance?" They looked at each other. How could it be so easy? This place is too big. If we just searched randomly, we don't know how long it would take. If someone is willing to guide us, things will go much more smoothly.

The man's eyes rolled, and he subconsciously asked: "Where else are you going besides here? I feel like there is more than just this piece of land here!" Han Shuo heard the man's words and said lightly: "That's because you are ignorant. There is also a sacred mountain range here. There are countless skills and powerful residual souls in the mountain range. If you get their recognition, you can gain infinite power!"

"That's something that many people out there can't even hope for!" His eyes sparkled with admiration. Yang Ling immediately became interested. He had passed through several places before and barely got some skills, which greatly increased his strength and combat power. If there were skills in Lingshan Mountain, that would be a great thing.

If they had the chance, they would really like to find out. Under the guidance of the old man, they came to the deepest part. There was a dazzling white light, so bright that they could hardly open their eyes. Before they got close, they felt a strong pressure.

This force made them breathless, and only Yang Ling seemed exceptionally calm. The man's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief.

"I didn't expect there was such a terrifying existence inside. What is inside? Is it a treasure?" The others were obviously shocked by this thing. They swallowed their saliva, and their eyes were full of desire. Yang Ling also felt that this power was not simple. The spiritual energy contained in it was extremely mysterious, and even produced a weak resonance with the skills in his body. I don't know if it was his illusion.

Seeing this, the old man could not help but remind them: "Don't even think about it. This is a place left by a gifted person. Only those who are truly powerful can enter. If you enter, you will probably be killed instantly!" The old man's words made them shudder, and the thoughts in their minds quickly dissipated. To make the old man so serious, the things inside must be extraordinary.

"We are just curious about what is inside. We don't want to die." Han Shuo said calmly, with more curiosity in his eyes.

"The thing inside is a scroll." The old man said slowly. (End of this chapter)
