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

As the incantation grew more urgent, the aura emanating from the jade bottle also grew stronger.

Suddenly, a blinding white light shot into the sky from inside the bottle!

The entire secret room began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment, but Black Hawk's face was full of excitement.

He knew that the gates to paradise were about to open for him!
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, the soaring white light twisted and deformed, as if something was about to break free from its cocoon!

Immediately afterwards, a deafening dragon roar resounded through the sky!
A giant dragon rose from the white light and soared straight into the sky!
"This is"

Black Hawk stared in disbelief, his face filled with horror, completely unprepared for such a turn of events.

At the same time, Ying Zheng, inside the Xianyang Palace, also witnessed this soaring dragon.

"Quickly! Send people to investigate the reason for the dragon's appearance!"

Deep in the mountains, thousands of miles away.

An elderly man with white hair looked up at the giant dragon in the sky.

"Has it finally appeared? It seems the world is about to undergo a tremendous change!"

Xu Fu had fully regained consciousness and was filled with shock and confusion as he looked at the scene before him.

He didn't know where the dragon came from or why it appeared here, but he could clearly feel the immense aura and supreme majesty emanating from it!
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the dragon circled once in the air before suddenly swooping down and heading straight for the secret chamber where Black Hawk was!

"Oh no! It's going to attack here!"

Black Hawk realized what was happening and cried out in alarm, trying to escape, but it was too late!

The dragon arrived in an instant, opening its mouth to spew forth raging flames!
"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire secret chamber was engulfed in flames, and the black eagle and the white jade bottle on the altar were reduced to ashes!
Xu Fu felt a wave of heat wash over him and watched helplessly as the black eagle and the altar disappeared in the flames.

"this"

He stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart filled with disbelief and confusion, unsure of what to do next.

At this time, Ying Zheng, inside the Xianyang Palace, had already learned the reason for the appearance of the giant dragon.

"What? You're saying this dragon was attracted because someone tried to open the gate to the fairy realm?"

He was shocked after hearing the report, having never heard of such a strange thing before.

"That is indeed the case, Your Majesty! According to our investigation, this is the truth!" the official who reported replied confidently.

Ying Zheng frowned, lost in thought, sensing that there seemed to be a greater secret hidden behind this matter.

"Issue the order to continue the in-depth investigation into this matter! I am determined to find out who is behind it all!"

Ying Zheng's decree quickly spread throughout Xianyang Palace, plunging the entire palace into a state of tense activity due to the mysterious dragon. Officials sprang into action, investigating clues related to the dragon's appearance and attempting to uncover the truth behind it.

Meanwhile, in a secluded mountain villa outside Xianyang City, a mysterious man in black was gazing at the giant dragon in the sky. He was the mastermind behind the previous secret talks with Black Hawk! "It seems the plan has failed! Not only did Black Hawk fail to open the gate to the fairyland, but he also attracted this giant dragon!" His eyes flashed with cold light, and he was furious at Black Hawk's failure.

But he knew that now was not the time to pursue the matter. He had to deal with the dragon problem as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable if Ying Zheng found out about him!
With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, immediately turned around and left the villa, disappearing into the deep night.

At the same time, Xu Fu also left the secret chamber engulfed in flames. He didn't know where to go, nor what his future held.

He originally only sought the elixir of immortality, but unexpectedly became embroiled in this inexplicable conflict. Now that Black Hawk is dead, he doesn't know if he can continue his mission.

Just as he was feeling lost and helpless, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of him. It was the white-haired old man who had appeared in the deep mountains earlier!
"Xu Fu! You've finally arrived!" the old man said with a smile as he looked at Xu Fu.

"Senior! Do you know me?" Xu Fu stared at the old man in surprise.

“Of course! I not only know you, but I also know your mission!” the old man said with a smile.

"Mission? What mission?" Xu Fu was increasingly confused.

"To find the elixir of immortality! To unravel the mysteries of the fairyland!" the old man said slowly.

"How...how do you know all this?" Xu Fu stared at the old man in shock.

"Because I am the guardian of the fairyland! I have been waiting for your arrival!" the old man said with a smile.

"Guardians of the Fairy Realm? You mean... the Fairy Realm truly exists?" Xu Fu asked excitedly.

"Of course it exists! But entering the Immortal Realm is no easy feat. You must undergo numerous trials and tribulations before you can finally obtain the elixir of immortality!" the old man said solemnly.

"I am willing to accept any test! I only ask to find the elixir of immortality!" Xu Fu stated firmly.

"Alright! Then I'll take you to the entrance to the fairyland!" The old man waved his sleeve, and a beam of light flashed. Xu Fu felt a blur before his eyes, and the next moment he was in an unfamiliar place.

Before me stretched a vast, boundless grassland, where exotic flowers and rare herbs bloomed everywhere, and the air was filled with a refreshing fragrance. In the distance, a mountain peak soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

"This is the entrance to the fairyland! You need to cross that mountain to enter the true fairyland!" the old man said, pointing to the distant mountains.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior! I will certainly strive to pass the test and find the elixir of immortality!" Xu Fu was extremely grateful.

"Very well! Then I will wait here for good news!" Before the old man finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared. Xu Fu was left standing alone on the grassland, gazing at the distant mountain peaks.

He knew his adventure had only just begun, and even greater challenges lay ahead. But he was prepared to forge ahead, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay before him!

Meanwhile, Ying Zheng, inside the Xianyang Palace, received further information about the reason for the dragon's appearance. It turned out that this dragon was a guardian of the celestial realm, specifically responsible for protecting the entrance to the realm from intrusion.

Black Hawk's previous attempt to open the gates to Wonderland angered the dragons, hence this turn of events. Now Black Hawk is dead, and the dragons have returned to Wonderland.

After hearing the report, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought. He had originally thought that the immortal realm was just a legend, but now it seemed that it truly existed. If the immortal realm really existed, then did the elixir of immortality also really exist?
Thinking of this, his heart surged with emotion. As a powerful ruler, he naturally harbored an immense desire for the elixir of immortality. If Xu Fu could truly obtain the elixir...
He immediately ordered Xu Fu to be summoned to inquire about the details of the fairyland and the elixir of immortality, but he was furious when he learned that Xu Fu had already left Xianyang!
"Send men to search immediately! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find Xu Fu for me!" he ordered angrily, then fell into deep thought.

He knew there must be a larger conspiracy behind this, and he had to find out the truth as soon as possible to deal with it. Otherwise, if the enemy succeeded, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just then, a guard rushed in and reported, "Your Majesty! There is a man outside the palace who claims to be Xu Fu requesting an audience!" "Xu Fu?" Ying Zheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then his face lit up with joy. "Quickly! Summon him into the palace immediately!"
Before long, Xu Fu was led into the Xianyang Palace. He had changed into clean robes and looked radiant, a stark contrast to his disheveled appearance when he escaped the secret chamber. (End of Chapter)
