Chapter 194: Chapter 126 Heading to the Alchemy Room 2

Translator: 549690339

In the Heng Yuan World, being called ‘elder’ and ‘ancestor’ by others all the time, and then suddenly in the Upper Realm, being referred to as a ‘comrade’ or ‘junior’, those nascent soul ancestors of the past probably found it hard to adapt.

This is an inevitable situation. To pursue a higher realm, one must ascend to a world with stronger spiritual energy.

Of course, among the various sects, there are some nascent soul ancestors who deliberately delayed their cultivation to postpone their ascension to the Upper Realm. However, these were mostly from small and medium-sized sects, and the number was very small.

Because the number of cultivators in the large sects who ascended to the

Upper Realm was stable, and they had already established sects in the Upper Realm, they naturally did not need to worry about being isolated.

Lin Yi stood by the lake, pondering how to go safely, because there was no bridge in this lake besides the lotus flowers.

As for stepping on the lotus leaves to move forward, this was also not possible, because the lotus leaves were widely scattered. Unless one chooses to leap in the air, one could not reach the other lotus leaf. It should be noted that in the Secret Realm Manual, there was a warning that one cannot fly in the entire Secret Realm.

Underneath the clouds of the Misty Forest Gorge, a giant python is hidden, who knows whether this calm and beautiful lake also hides Monster Beasts that are hundreds of metres long.

At this time, his face showed a look of confusion, because from the direction of the lake, he did not feel the existence of any wind. With his nearly perfect second layer of Wind Transformation Technique, his perception of wind was very sensitive.

He tried to extend his hand towards the lake surface, and indeed, there was a hindrance. It seemed that this lake also had some defensive Formations hindering him from entering.

He had guessed before that the Dan God’s Cave Mansion would open after the Secret Realm had been opened for a while. It was not feasible that whoever ran faster could take the test first, and it seems he guessed right.

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then bowed his fist towards the direction of the island in the lake, “Elder Dan God, I am a Qi refining cultivator who entered the Secret Realm, fortunately, managed to avoid some dangers, and arrived here early. I don’t know when the Cave Mansion will be opened.”

This Dan God Secret Realm was so huge, it wouldn’t be unattended. He guessed that Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan might have left a trace of Divine Sense before leaving, to watch over the Secret Realm.

However, there was no response. He shook his head and prepared to leave. Since he didn’t know when the Cave Mansion would open, he couldn’t stay here all the time.

If the Cave Mansion only opens on the last day or two, then he would have wasted a lot of time. He wouldn’t be able to go to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden as planned after entering the Cave Mansion.

Just as Lin Yi was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a sound of patting the water surface. He quickly turned around to look, and surprise showed on his face. It seems that this Secret Realm really had the Divine Sense left by Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan.

At this time, dozens of plump koi swam over in the lake, forming a number on the surface of the lake. He took a glance, and the number was three.

This probably doesn’t mean that it will open in three days, but rather the last three days of the one-month period that the Secret Realm was open that the Cave Mansion test would begin.

Because power-wise, even the slowest of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators should be able to reach the Cave Mansion in twenty- seven days.

It took him less than two days to travel from the outermost part of the Wood Element Area to the Misty Forest, and three and a half days to travel from the Misty Forest Herb Garden to the Central Medicine Garden.

And it took about five days to go to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, and less than a day to head to the Lake Heart Mansion.

So, he should still have about sixteen days left to use. So, he absolutely can’t waste time. The reserved three days were probably the time required for the entire test in the Cave Mansion.

Lin Yi thought about it by the side of the lake and decided to first go to the

Alchemy Room, because if he now goes back to the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, he might not be able to open it.

However, the Alchemy Room is not in the Wood Element Area. And according to the records in the Secret Realm Manual, each time the Alchemy Room opens, there is no pattern. It can appear in any of the Five Elements Areas, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

If it were any other cultivators at this time, they would probably be guessing blindly. But he was not the same, he could rely on luck.

Lin Yi then took a branch from a small tree nearby and drew a circle on the ground, writing the five elements characters of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and

Earth on it.

He needed to know exactly which of the Five Elements Area the Alchemy Room was in, not just a general direction. Otherwise, he would waste time in searching for it.

After finishing the drawing, he drew a mark at one end of the branch with the magic brush, and then placed it in the center of the circle.

Then he put on the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy”, entering the Minor Blessing State.

At this moment, Lin Yi didn’t forget to salute the small island in the lake, “Elder Dan God above, please bless this disciple in successfully finding the exact location of the alchemy room. The direction indicated by the branch’s mark will be where the alchemy room is located.”

After speaking, he gently moved the branch, sliding it among the five areas.

Very quickly, the branch stopped moving, pointing to one area where the character for ‘fire’ was written. It seemed that he wouldn’t have to travel far.

Lin Yi immediately took off the title “Little Compassion Little Mercy” , and looked at his Virtue Points. Surprisingly, he had consumed more than a thousand points.

However, it was worth it to use these Virtue Points for the precise location of the alchemy room, as there were also quite a few opportunities to be found there.

The division of the Five Elements regions in the Dan God’s Secret Realm did not follow the principle of mutual restraint, but rather the principle of mutual generation. Wood is the beginning of all things, wood creates fire, fire creates earth, earth creates metal, metal creates water, and water creates wood.

To the left of the Wood Element zone is the Water Element zone, and to the right is the Fire Element zone.

According to the Secret Realm Manual, the Wood Element zone represents vitality and hides danger, while the Fire Element zone represents destruction, laying danger directly on the surface for one to clearly feel.

The risk level of each of the five zones doesn’t vary greatly, but relatively speaking, the Wood and Water zones provide a more comfortable environment.

After removing the title, Lin Yi once again saluted the small island in the lake,

“Many thanks for Elder Dan God’s help.”

After he finished speaking, he erased all the circles and words he had drawn on the ground, then along the edge of the lake he headed towards the Fire Element zone on the right.

If the danger levels across all regions are not much different, this also implies that the time it takes to reach deep into the secret realm is the same, and thus, he still maintains his lead.

He was curious to see whether the alchemy room would function in the same way as the Cave Mansion, having a fixed opening time.

After Lin Yi left, a gust of wind arose around him. The branch he had discarded was carried in the direction of the lake by the wind.

As he walked along the lake, Lin Yi encountered no danger on his journey. Perhaps this was because this was the location of the Cave Mansion, so the monster beasts did not dare to approach, and also because this was the shortest route to the Fire Element zone.

In the Secret Realm Manual, the Liu Yun Sect had also drawn a rough map of the Five Elements regions of the entire secret realm based on the disciples’ travel times.

The periphery is the widest. As one delves deeper into the secret realm, the width gradually reduces. By the time one reaches the barrier of the Cave Mansion at the deepest part, the journey to other regions is almost half as short as it is from the periphery.

After confirming there were no dangers nearby, he began to move at his fastest speed, yet still didn’t take to the sky. At a time like this, he didn’t dare to let his guard down.

In less than three days, Lin Yi had reached the Fire Element zone. Even though it wasn’t a scorched landscape, one could see currents of hot air forming within the area, and stubborn vegetation grew in sections.

As he slowly approached the Fire Element zone, he didn’t feel the heat wave. The Secret Realm Manual recorded that isolation formations were present between each zone.

However, this formation had no effect on cultivators. Each zone was interconnected, and cultivators could choose to go anywhere freely.

But if one tried to progress through the peripheral areas of each zone, the time consumed would be too great, leaving no extra time to go to the Medicine Garden.

Ordinary Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivators would have already spent more than twenty days by the time they reached the Cave Mansion, and naturally, there would be no opportunity for them to go to other zones.

When he reached the boundary between the two zones, Lin Yi looked back at the Wood Element zone and then walked straight through. Immediately, he was hit by a wave of heat..
