321: Entering the ancient alchemical ruins

After speaking, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild waved his large hand, and over a hundred thousand Storage Rings of the same style fell above the heads of the Cultivators in the large pit below.

"Put them on voluntarily!" The voice of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild, devoid of any emotion, echoed in everyone's ears.

Hearing the words of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild, the Cultivators in the pit who hadn't contributed anything showed no hesitation.

They all reached out, grabbed one of the hundred thousand Storage Rings above their heads, and put it on their hands.

After seeing that all the Cultivators in the pit had put on their Storage Rings.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild nodded toward the Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the other two factions.

The three then flashed to three different directions around the Large Pit, quickly formed Hand Seals, and launched a massive Pillar of Power toward the sky directly above the center of the Large Pit.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the three continued to output their power, a deafening sound erupted above the center of the Large Pit, and a transparent Restriction slowly dissipated under their combined force.

The moment this Restriction vanished, a Spatial Rift connecting to the Ancient Pill Sect appeared before everyone's eyes.

Through this Spatial Rift, over a hundred thousand people could even see a corner of the Ancient Pill Sect's space.

Although most of this corner was already ruined, the ancient and mysterious aura emanating from the well-preserved luxurious palace still caused many people to show excitement.

"Haha, the Seal on the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins has been lifted! We can go in and search for treasures right away."

"That's right! I heard the Medicinal Pills inside are like the stars in the sky, and even Great Emperor-level Medicinal Pills are as numerous as ox hair. As long as we find a few emperor pills, we'll be rich."

"Hehe, whether we can Defy the Heavens and Change Destiny depends on this one action. As long as we find enough Medicinal Pills, the Path of Cultivation will be smooth and unimpeded."

Looking at the Ancient Pill Sect within the Spatial Rift, the large number of Cultivators in the pit discussed excitedly.

They couldn't wait to rush into the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins immediately and pocket all the Medicinal Pills inside.

Naturally, where some were excited, others were worried.

Quite a few Cultivators in the pit also looked at the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins in the rift, showing expressions of worry.

Unlike those excited Cultivators who only thought of the best outcome, they considered the worst possible scenario.

After all, the Three Great Emperor-level Factions had already said that there were many Mutated corpses of Ancient Pill Sect Disciples inside, and the danger level was terrifying. Otherwise, the three factions wouldn't have offered up these ruins for them to enter and pick up scraps.

Therefore, they were already fully alert. After entering the ruins, the most important thing was to save their own lives; searching for Medicinal Pills and treasures came second. Otherwise, they might find treasures but not live to use them.

Looking at the over hundred thousand Cultivators in the pit, all with different expressions.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestors of the Three Great Emperor-level Factions stabilized the Spatial Rift, hovered above the Large Pit, and revealed faint cold smiles.

At this moment, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild shouted with a faint smile, "Everyone, the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins are open! Hurry and enter. Remember, the more Medicinal Pills and treasures you find, the greater your profit will be. Don't let go of a single item."

The voice of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild seemed to possess Magic Power, for as soon as his voice fell.

The Cultivators in the Large Pit became excited as if they had gone mad, rapidly flying toward the Spatial Rift in the air.

"Hahaha, rush, rush! The first one in gets to search for treasure first!"

"Haha, that's right! As long as we find enough Advanced Medicinal Pills and treasures, we won't have to worry about cultivation resources ever again."

"Heh heh heh, treasures of the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins, I'm coming! You won't escape the palm of my hand."

In just an instant, nearly a hundred thousand Cultivators in the pit, wearing excited and fanatical smiles, scrambled to fly toward the Spatial Rift where the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins were located, afraid that if they were even one step slow, there would be no treasures left to find.

Looking at the crazy scene in the air, the Cultivators below who hadn't entered yet secretly clicked their tongues in astonishment.

"Wò Cāo! Have all these people gone mad? Why did they all suddenly become so excited?" Gu Chen looked at the Cultivators jostling each other in the air and spoke out, somewhat bewildered.

You have to understand that although these people were somewhat excited just now, they hadn't reached such a frenzied state.

But as soon as the words of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild fell, their excitement seemed to double, instantly surging to the maximum, as if their bodies were being controlled, rushing desperately into the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins to search for treasure—it was genuinely strange.

"Stop saying 'Wò Cāo.' This situation happened because their greed was infinitely amplified. We'll go in after they finish entering," Night Owl, who was beside him, withdrew his gaze and explained flatly.

Although the voice of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild just now didn't use the power to control a person's Divine Soul, it carried a Power of Bewitchment that could instantly multiply the Cultivators' Greed many times over, causing them to rush into the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins like lunatics.

"Phew, so that's how it is." Hearing Night Owl's explanation, Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing and his companions showed expressions of sudden understanding.

They understood: it was the voice of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild carrying some kind of power that amplified these people's Greed.

Seeing that Night Owl immediately pointed out the reason for these people's madness.

Sand Sable, with an expression of admiration, clasped his fists toward Night Owl and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye truly has extraordinary insight. I, Diao, am extremely impressed. After we enter later, I hope the few of us can cooperate well to obtain what we each need."

"Mhm, mhm, Fellow Daoist Ye, we must cooperate well." Sha Xiaomeng, with stars in her eyes, also nodded in agreement beside him.

Seeing that Sand Sable didn't miss a single chance to draw closer, Night Owl replied somewhat helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, please rest assured. As long as you two don't harbor any ulterior motives, our cooperation won't have any problems."

"Good, good, Fellow Daoist Ye, I wish us all a smooth journey then." Sand Sable clasped his fists and spoke straightforwardly, then kept his gaze fixed on the air.

He prepared to wait until the air was less crowded before entering the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins with Night Owl and his companions.

The group stood in the Large Pit and waited for a while until the hundred thousand Cultivators in the air had mostly entered.

Only then did Night Owl speak up and shout, "Let's go, we're going in too!!"

After speaking, he was the first to fly toward the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins rift in the air.

"Quickly, follow Senior Brother Ye!" Gu Chen shouted to Mu Xueqing and his companions, then flew closely behind Night Owl.

"Xiaomeng, let's hurry and follow." Sand Sable called out to Sha Xiaomeng, and the two siblings flew behind Gu Chen and his companions, following Night Owl into the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins.

As Night Owl and his companions entered the ruins.

The other Cultivators in the Large Pit also quickly rushed toward the rift. Before long, the entire Large Pit became empty, leaving only some Guides from the Three Great Emperor-level Factions, with no Cultivators from other factions remaining.

Seeing that all the Cultivators who had come this time had entered the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Nine Star Sect smiled and said to the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild and the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Flying Cloud Holy Land, "Fellow Daoists, over a hundred thousand people entered this time, which is more than the total number of people who entered in our last few times combined. I hope we have a great harvest."

Hearing the words of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Nine Star Sect.

The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Flying Cloud Holy Land smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, please rest assured. Even if ninety percent of these people die, there will still be many left to bring out treasures. Our harvest this time definitely won't be small."

"Indeed, with so many people, the harvest will be greater than our previous few times, no matter what. Let's not chat idly here; let's each close our eyes to rest our spirits and await the results," the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild nodded.

"Haha, good. Old Ancestor Wanbao is right. I was too impatient. Shall we just wait quietly for the results?" When the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Nine Star Sect heard the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild say this, he also felt it inappropriate to chat further. He dropped a sentence and vanished, presumably going somewhere to Meditate.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Wanbao, I will also go Close my Eyes to Rest my Spirit. We can talk again when the people inside come out." Seeing this, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Flying Cloud Holy Land cupped his fists toward the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild and also vanished into the air.

Watching both of them leave, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild did not linger above the Large Pit. Instead, he flashed back under a tree in the pit and continued to Meditate with his eyes closed.
