10: Chapter 10 Inheritance

[It can be said that you arrived at a very opportune time, because at this moment, an Ancient Inheritance secret realm has appeared in the Sea Palace Archipelago.]

[Originally, you didn't want to fight for this secret realm, but you heard that there was an Alchemy Dao Inheritance within it.]

[You could forgo other things, but you wouldn't miss the chance to advance to a Fourth-Order Alchemist.]

[Moreover, this secret realm can only accommodate cultivators below the Golden Core Peak; you definitely have a chance to compete.]

[You found a relatively central island in the Sea Palace Archipelago; such central islands are under the jurisdiction of the Yin Yang Spirit Sea Garden.]

[As long as you pay enough spirit stones, the Yin Yang Spirit Sea Garden will naturally provide you with protection.]

[Reluctantly, you spent two thousand spirit stones to rent it for a month, and you chose the central island to more easily gather information.]

[You also refined Foundation Establishment Stage pills to sell in the various markets of the Sea Palace Archipelago.]

[You knew that as a Third-Order Alchemist in such a chaotic area, you first had to ensure your own safety.]

[However, the demand for pills here is very high; every time you went to the markets to sell, you did so after careful disguise, which was relatively safe.]

[Soon you established a foothold in the Sea Palace Archipelago, obtaining a large number of spirit stones by selling pills.]

[You used the spirit stones to hire a powerful expert for protection in the Sea Palace Archipelago; this person is named Jin Qiang, who possesses Golden Core Peak strength.]

[Jin Qiang is honest and simple-minded, and with his high level of strength, he is very loyal to you.]

[With his protection, you believe that you are bound to obtain the inheritance this time.]

[According to the information you gathered, this secret realm is located at a place called Duanyao Island in the Sea Palace Archipelago.]

[Besides the Yin Yang Spirit Sea Garden, many first-rate forces are also participating this time.]

[You even learned that the Human-Dragon Clan is involved in the struggle for the secret realm, and it's said that their participant is a once-in-ten-thousand-years genius.]

[But of course, you wouldn't care about all that. All you wanted was to break through to become a Fourth-Order Alchemist.]

[Naturally, if you encountered an opportunity for Core Formation, you wouldn't let it pass either.]

[After all, you know that in over ten years, the Upper Realm will invade the Spirit Ruins Realm again, and you need to improve your strength as much as possible.]

[Besides, your main goal in this simulation is to break through to the Nine-Turn Golden Core!]

[Time passed, and the opening of the secret realm soon arrived.]

[You and Jin Qiang entered the secret realm together, but as soon as you entered, you were teleported to a swamp.]

[Within the swamp, there were actually thousands of crocodiles, each with the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage.]

"Good heavens, is this the Ancient Inheritance?"

Chen Yuan wiped away his sweat; although Foundation Establishment was no big deal, there were a full thousand of them.

Even the Qinglan Sect only had one or two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators in total.

[Fortunately, you had Jin Qiang, a Golden Core Peak cultivator, by your side; under his intimidation, the crocodile swarm parted to make a path.]

[After leaving that place, you headed straight for the depths of the secret realm.]

[After several days of travel, you finally arrived at the site of the Alchemy Dao Inheritance.]

[Of course, you encountered many dangers along the way, but under Jin Qiang's protection, you passed through them without any mishaps.]

[This place was a great hall, and many cultivators with powerful auras had already gathered here.]

[Among them was a Dao Child of the Yin Yang Spirit Sea Garden whom you recognized, named Lan Xingbi.]

"Wait a second? Lan Xingbi? Blue Star Coin?"

Chen Yuan looked at this name and felt it was inexplicably funny; how could it be the same name as a game item he played with on Blue Star?

[In addition, there were many unfamiliar faces, but every Foundation Establishment Peak genius had a Golden Core Peak Dao Protector.]

[After all, inside the secret realm is different from the outside; if one were assassinated by an enemy, there would be nowhere to seek justice.]

[Among them, you also saw that mysterious genius from the Human-Dragon Clan, who was actually a female cultivator.]

[She was exceptionally beautiful with a graceful figure; just one look was enough to make one's imagination run wild.]

[However, you only took a few more looks before withdrawing your gaze. Women? They would only slow down the speed at which you draw your sword!]

[But your Peach Blossom Luck talent made you attract the attention of many female cultivators present.]

[Moreover, your sword qi was very eye-catching; everyone speculated that you were likely a hidden genius from the Heavenly Sword Dao Palace.]

[This also helped you avoid a lot of trouble, as no short-sighted cultivators came to bother you.]

[In the great hall, there were four passages and four high platforms, and then a phantom appeared in the hall.]

[This phantom was the artifact spirit of the hall, and under the artifact spirit's announcement, you learned the rules.]

[The rules were simple: there were only four entrances to the inheritance site, and as long as you were the last one standing in a one-on-one battle on the arena, you would gain the qualification to enter.]

[Furthermore, two spots each were allocated for Golden Core and Foundation Establishment; you could only enter the inheritance site if you defeated all the Foundation Establishment geniuses on one of the arenas.]

[However, many cultivators also gave up on this opportunity because the phantom had said this was only the Alchemy Dao Inheritance site, not the final Ancient Inheritance.]

[So those who stayed were basically alchemists, although Lan Xingbi and the female cultivator from the Human-Dragon Clan also remained.]

[To your relief, that female cultivator from the Human-Dragon Clan did not participate in the fight.]

[The other Foundation Establishment cultivators present were not particularly strong, so you were confident in securing a spot.]

[Jin Qiang naturally went to participate in the Golden Core arena, serving as a dual preparation.]

[The battles soon ended, and in the end, you and Lan Xingbi each occupied an arena.]

[To your delight, Jin Qiang also managed to occupy an arena by virtue of his powerful strength.]

[This gave you a fifty percent chance of obtaining the final alchemist inheritance.]

[After entering the passage, you arrived inside a palace.]

[A stone tablet stood in the hall. The phantom told you that the inheritance was on it; as for whether you could comprehend it, that would depend on your Alchemy Talent.]

[Hearing this, you all placed your hands on it, striving to comprehend the mysteries within.]

[However, your Alchemy Talent once again played its part, and you became the first person to comprehend this Alchemy Dao Inheritance.]

[This inheritance was left in the Spirit Ruins Realm by the Great Emperor Wudan of the ancient era; although your talent wasn't particularly outstanding, you obtained his inheritance through a stroke of luck.]

[After learning that you have received the inheritance，Jin Qiang was very happy.]

[Lan Xingbi also congratulated you, while only that one Golden Core cultivator angrily flicked his sleeve and left.]

[You weren't familiar with Lan Xingbi and were worried he would call upon powerful experts to seize your inheritance after leaving the secret realm, so you promised to teach him some Golden Core Stage pill formulas.]

[However, he shook his head and refused, saying his purpose here was only to obtain a pill called the 'yin yang life-giving pill'.]

[From him, you also learned that his mother had been infected by some kind of miasma, and only this pill could save her life.]

[Coincidentally, this pill formula was within the inheritance you obtained, and you promised to refine the yin yang life-giving pill for him after leaving the secret realm.]

[Lan Xingbi also promised not to cause you trouble, and even said he would protect you.]
