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

"Could this be... a teleportation array?" Xu Fu exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide.

"Teleportation array? What's that?" Ziya asked curiously.

“Teleportation arrays are an ancient magical technique that can instantly transport people to a designated location,” Xu Fu explained. “However, this technique has been lost for a long time, and it is unexpected that it would appear here.”

"Then can we be teleported directly to the Immortal Realm?" Qiu Shui said excitedly.

"Theoretically, yes, but whether this teleportation array can still be used requires further research," Yang Ling said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, everyone crowded around to examine the teleportation array closely. The pattern within the light was becoming increasingly clear, seemingly activating gradually.

"Should we give it a try?" Bai Wei suggested.

"This is too risky. If the teleportation array malfunctions, we might be teleported to an unknown place," Yang Ling said, shaking his head.

“But if we can successfully teleport, wouldn’t that save us a lot of time and risk?” Bai Wei said unwillingly.

“Bai Wei’s words make sense, we might as well give it a try,” Ying Zheng said after a moment of thought. “However, we need to make preparations first, just in case.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They then began to carefully study the teleportation array and made all possible preparations.

Yang Ling took out the Spirit Beast Jade from his pocket and silently sensed its power. He took a deep breath and placed the Spirit Beast Jade in the center of the teleportation array. Instantly, the entire teleportation array began to tremble, and the light grew increasingly intense.

"Everyone, get into position and get ready to teleport!" Yang Ling shouted.

Standing at the edge of the ancient teleportation array, the group displayed varying expressions, yet all carried a hint of tension and anticipation. Ying Zheng's gaze was deep, as if he were pondering the myriad possibilities of the unknown world. Xu Fu, on the other hand, was filled with curiosity and excitement; for him, every adventure was a challenge to the unknown. Bai Wei remained calm, but her eyes sparkled with curiosity about the unknown. Ziya, meanwhile, was brimming with excitement, eager to immediately step into that legendary, ethereal land.

Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed, and everyone felt a lightness in their bodies, as if enveloped by an invisible force, before everything went black. When they opened their eyes again, they had been transported to a completely new world.

"My God, this place...this place is so beautiful!" Ziya broke the silence first, looking around with excitement and awe. The mountains and rivers were picturesque, shrouded in mist, and every inch of the land seemed to exude an ethereal aura, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

“Indeed, this place is like a fairyland on earth,” Yang Ling exclaimed, his gaze piercing through the layers of clouds and landing on the distant, faintly visible mountain peak.

Bai Wei observed the surrounding environment more calmly: "The concentration of spiritual energy here is extremely high, which is indeed very beneficial to cultivation."

Xu Fu had already begun searching the surrounding area for possible treasures and heritage: "I wonder if there are any ancient ruins or treasures here. We need to explore this place thoroughly."

Ying Zheng, however, was not so optimistic. He cautioned, "Don't forget why we came here. Although the scenery is beautiful, it may also hide unknown dangers. We must remain vigilant at all times."

Just as everyone was immersed in the wonders of this new world, suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar. Everyone immediately turned around alertly, only to see a huge, ferocious beast charging towards them, the ground trembling beneath its feet as if it were about to crush the entire world.

"Everyone, be careful!" Yang Ling reacted immediately, pulling out the mysterious spirit beast jade from his robes and gripping it tightly in his hand. The demonic beast drew closer, its eyes flashing with ferocity, emitting a chilling roar. But just as it was about to launch its fatal attack, its gaze suddenly fell upon the spirit beast jade in Yang Ling's hand.

"Roar—" The demonic beast suddenly stopped attacking, its massive body trembling, its eyes filled with confusion and fear. It was as if the spirit beast jade possessed some kind of mysterious power over it.

Yang Ling's heart stirred; he sensed a mysterious power within the spirit beast jade communicating with the demon beast. He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and slowly approached the demon beast.

"Don't be afraid, we mean no harm," Yang Ling said to the demon beast in a calm tone, while raising the spirit beast jade to make it see more clearly. "We are just travelers who have come here to explore."

The monster seemed to understand Yang Ling's words; it slowly lowered its head and stopped roaring. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere instantly eased.

"Yang Ling, you're amazing!" Ziya excitedly ran over and patted Yang Ling on the shoulder. "The power of this spirit beast jade is truly incredible!"

"Yes, I never imagined that one day we could coexist peacefully with such monsters," Xu Fu said with emotion.

Bai Wei, however, was more focused on practical matters: "Since this spirit beast jade can communicate with demon beasts, can we use it to explore more areas?"

“Theoretically, it is possible.” Yang Ling nodded. “But we still need to be careful, after all, the temperament of demonic beasts is unpredictable.”

Ying Zheng also walked over and gave Yang Ling a deep look: "Yang Ling, you have done a great service again. With this spirit beast jade, our adventure will be much smoother."

"So what should we do next?" Bai Wei asked. "Although we have successfully teleported to the Immortal Realm, we know nothing about this place."

"I think we should explore the surrounding environment first and understand the situation here," Yang Ling suggested. "At the same time, we should also look for any possible immortal herbs or treasures."

“Yang Ling is right,” Ying Zheng agreed. “We cannot act blindly; we need a clear plan.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with Yang Ling and Ying Zheng's suggestion. They then split up to explore this mysterious and fantastical land.

Ziya excitedly scouted ahead, shouting as he ran, "Everyone, come and see! There's a patch of exotic flowers and rare herbs here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around. Sure enough, where Ziya had pointed, there grew a patch of colorful and strangely shaped plants.

“These plants all look very precious,” Xu Fu said after careful observation. “We can pick some to take back and study.”

“However, we must proceed with caution,” Yang Ling cautioned. “The creatures of the Immortal Realm possess wondrous powers; we must not act rashly.”

At Yang Ling's suggestion, the group carefully picked some exotic flowers and herbs, intending to take them back for research.

Just as everyone was busy picking exotic flowers and herbs, a clear crane's cry suddenly rang out from the sky. Looking up, they saw a large white crane descending from the heavens, carrying on its back an elderly man with an air of otherworldly wisdom. (End of Chapter)
