300: Teleport! Arrived, Southern Xuan Territory!
To ensure no unexpected changes occurred, Chen De arrived a little early.
Upon reaching the destination, Chen De realized he wasn't the only one who had arrived early.
Quite a few people were already waiting at the location indicated by the other party.
Some of these people were in groups of two or three, but the majority were solo travelers.
Evidently, for a dangerous place like the Southern Xuan Domain, if companions weren't truly reliable and trustworthy, they preferred to go alone.
After all, in times of danger, you don't need to outrun the person chasing you; you just need to outrun the person next to you.
Seeing these people, Chen De had no intention of greeting them.
Acting friendly in such a place would only arouse suspicion from others.
The kind of 'love at first sight' or 'instant familiarity' leading to impromptu travel partnerships that Chen De had read about in novels from his previous life simply wouldn't happen here.
Everyone harbored a clear trace of wariness towards everyone else.
They were all about to be teleported to the Southern Xuan Domain, and clearly, they all had their own objectives.
In such a dangerous place, fellow travelers were often the most dangerous.
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes, with sharp eyes and a powerful aura, walked out from the side.
Before he even reached the crowd, a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands, saying, "Everyone, you've waited a long time. I'm truly sorry for making you all wait so long."
Everyone present seemed unwilling to speak first, wishing to be as low-key as possible.
When speaking to people like them, in the absence of mutual benefit, awkward silences were almost commonplace.
"Haha, what are you saying, Deacon Li? If anything, you've arrived a bit early yourself."
Fortunately, a hearty laugh immediately broke the silence in the venue.
The middle-aged man, referred to as Deacon Li, looked towards the source of the sound, a look of understanding appearing on his face.
"So it's Brother Xiao. What, are you short on demonic beast materials for alchemy again this time?"
A man with a short beard and graying hair stroked his beard and slowly walked forward, "No choice. The elixir I need to refine this time has too low a success rate, and consumes too many materials."
Deacon Li laughed, "Why don't you find someone to help collect them? Just give them some compensation afterward. Why go yourself every time, risking your life? It's a small matter if you don't get the materials, but losing your life is a big deal."
The man surnamed Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sigh, you know that place, the Southern Xuan Domain, hardly anyone is willing to go there. Besides, I wouldn't trust others to collect the materials I need. Those people, what do they know? They don't even know how to process the materials."
As soon as he spoke, everyone already understood his identity.
This man, surnamed Xiao, was precisely the famous alchemist of the East Sea - Xiao Ran.
It was said that his alchemy skills had already reached the sixth-tier.
He had once refined a quasi-sixth-tier elixir, but due to insufficient cultivation at the time, he failed to succeed.
Such ability would be revered as an honored guest in any force.
Even the Fangtian Sect had tried to recruit him, but he politely refused.
He handled it with great tact, not causing the Fangtian Sect to lose face.
He himself was also an eighth-level Void Union Realm cultivator, practicing a source-tier fire-attribute cultivation method, possessing strong power.
In the East Sea, apart from the Fangtian Sect, there were few forces he couldn't afford to offend.
At this moment, everyone who realized Xiao Ran's identity couldn't help but start calculating in their hearts.
Establishing a good relationship with such a high-level alchemist would definitely have no downsides.
Xiao Ran didn't care about the calculations in everyone's minds. He waved his hand as he spoke, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Look, everyone has been waiting for a long time, let's start quickly."
Deacon Li gestured that he had already made arrangements, "Don't rush, don't rush. It's already been arranged. The giant teleportation array takes time to activate. I already started it when I arrived; it will be ready very soon, very soon."
Just as he was speaking, the ground beneath everyone's feet lit up.
Seeing this, Deacon Li called out to everyone, "Come, everyone, please come this way, and stand in that large circle in the middle. If you don't stand inside, or don't fully stand inside, you might fall into a spatial rift during the teleportation."
Many people present were not riding this teleportation array for the first time, so they naturally knew all the key points.
The giant teleportation array, due to its extremely fast transmission speed and vast transmission distance, meant that if they accidentally fell out of it, ordinary Void Union Realm cultivators like them wouldn't survive.
Fortunately, the inner circle's area was not small, about the size of a sports field, so there was no situation of people being packed together.
At this moment, Deacon Li had also retreated from the circle and moved to the outside of the teleportation array.
After seeing that the time was about right, he stopped managing it and directly activated the giant teleportation array.
A ball of light quickly enveloped everyone within the teleportation array, and at the same time, a huge spatial vortex appeared.
Everyone's figures twisted for a moment and then disappeared from the scene.
...
Meanwhile, on an unknown small island over 170 million kilometers away from the Southern Xuan Domain, a group of people suddenly appeared.
Some people looked at the familiar surroundings and immediately planned to leave the crowd according to their predetermined routes.
Among them was the fifth-tier alchemist, Xiao Ran.
He had no idea how many times he had been here, and he was incredibly familiar with the terrain and routes.
Especially his understanding of the Southern Xuan Domain; he definitely knew the most among everyone present.
Chen De was a newcomer. Although he was also a demonic beast, he knew very little about the Southern Xuan Domain, the stronghold of the demon race.
If he could get some information from this guy, it would be a good thing.
As for the others, Chen De didn't want to let them go either.
Of course, these were not the most crucial points. In fact, Chen De was very interested in Xiao Ran's alchemy.
The experiments Chen De conducted had some similarities with the alchemy of this world in certain aspects.
Both involved refining one thing into another, enhancing its original effects, or giving it effects that the raw materials did not originally possess.
Moreover, this person's alchemy had already reached a certain level.
If the rumors were correct, Xiao Ran was only lacking in cultivation to become a sixth-tier alchemist.
Such alchemy skills would likely hold a place in the entire Four Profound Heavens.
Now that he appeared next to Chen De, Chen De had no reason not to take him down.
Thus, having made up his mind, Chen De immediately began to act.
While everyone hadn't gone far, Chen De directly activated his domain, enveloping them.
"What the, whose domain is this?!"
"So solid, has a Heavenly Imperial Realm expert arrived?"
"No, how could there be a Heavenly Imperial Realm here? Could it be that one of the Demon Emperors of the demon race discovered us?"
"It shouldn't be, right? If it were a Demon Emperor, one slap would decide who lives and who dies; would he still need to open a domain?"
"What's going on? Why do I feel an uncontrollable killing intent surging in my heart?"
