The scenic mountain forest, Shen Xiang was gazing far away without discovering any danger. Although the spirit energy here was thin, few people dared to venture in because of this.

Snowy Dragon Yiting sensed something, saying, "There's a mysterious realm around!"

Elder Dan saw that Shen Xiang was puzzled, and said, "This mystery realm is only known by a few of the stronger cultivators. It’s inside a mysterious realm which has no idea how it was formed, just like the Wu King Realm. It can stop cultivators from using real qi and has a powerful mind-illusion ability."

"If we can't use real qi, how do we refine the fire pills" Shen Xiang was very confused.

From ancient times, Dong Chen and Liu Meng’er weren’t the first ones to enter such a realm where real qi could not be used. However, they knew Shen Xiang was an exception and could get special treatment in these realms.

"Use this. I often practice here, and use this method." Elder Dan handed Shen Xiang a pearl, which was the Fire Reservoir. It could store large amounts of fire energy. Liu Meng’er and Dong Xingyue both had Shen Xiang’s Fire Reservoir.

Shen Xiang suddenly felt a bit bigger because he had never used this method to refine pills before. If they couldn’t use real qi, they could only rely on their spirit consciousness to control the fire energy inside the Fire Reservoir. This was a strict test for his control over flames.

Shen Xiang grabbed the Fire Reservoir and started to pour his Heaven Earth Fire into it. He then asked, "After entering the realm, everyone's spirit consciousness will be influenced and cause them to lose their mind. What about you guys"

"Don’t worry about us, there are barriers on our disks to protect us from those powers." Liu Meng’er said. She then smiled at Dong Chen.

Dong Chen’s hexagonal disk was made by Liu Meng’er. Back then, she had killed him with a single blow, making him never forget it till now. However, the magical treasures that Liu Meng’er made were undoubtedly good ones.

"This means that we will be in a mysterious realm filled with mind-illusion powers, using the fire energy inside the Fire Reservoir to refine pills" Shen Xiang suddenly felt a heavy pressure because he only knew how to make Tier 4 pills. It wouldn’t be easy for him to try his luck on a strange pill in that kind of environment.

"That’s right, this is fair to you. The Tier 4 pills I’m going to refine are completely different from the ones I’ve ever refined before." Elder Dan said.

Elder Dan was definitely not going to refine something he had never done before. These pills were either rare or hard to make, hence few people would care about them.

"A real pill master can make pills under very harsh conditions. You don’t often try such things, do you" Elder Dan had a cold smile as he said, "I’m used to refining pills under such conditions."

Shen Xiang’s brows furrowed because pill masters needed very strong spirit consciousness, and it could become stronger in such conditions.

The entrance to the mystery realm was very secretive, as it was located under a lake. After entering the mystery realm, Shen Xiang saw an empty land floating with white mist covering it. The sky was gloomy and very depressing.

"This is the pill furnace!" With Elder Dan’s wave, he handed Shen Xiang a decent quality pill furnace. Both Elder Dan and he had the same pill furnace.

Dong Chen warned, "Young Elder, if you stay for twelve hours, you’ll turn into a crazy fool. A few oldies who passed the Eight Tribulation of Nirvana once even lost their mind here."

Liu Meng’er looked serious, "We have barrier protections here. This is why we don’t have any problems. If you step out of the disk, you’ll be interfered by all kinds of things immediately. It’s best to stay calm while refining pills here because the deeper you get, the stronger the power will be. Even if there are very good barriers around, I wouldn’t dare to go deeper."

"Here you go. This black box contains the herbs for God Power Pill, and this red box contains Return God Pill! You have to use a lot of power in order to open the red box, and you can only do it easily after taking God Power Pill. Return God Pill mainly makes sure that you won’t be affected for a short time.", said Elder Dan as he threw the two large boxes over to Shen Xiang. Then, he continued, "Both of these boxes contain the herbs for Primordial Energy Refining Soul Pill. The winner will be determined by which pill has a higher quality."

Shen Xiang received the two boxes and carefully chewed over the rules of this competition. The rule was very thrilling, but it made him a bit unhappy because Elder Dan said they were only going to test his skills of refining Tier 4 pills, but now there would be three and all were cold and hard-to-make pills.

This was his fate now, so he could do nothing about it. He saw this as a trial and knew Elder Dan had prepared this very carefully for him because he would benefit greatly from it. He never experienced such kind of competition before.

"If you’re ready, step out of the disk. If you cheat, we’ll see through it.", said Elder Dan.

Shen Xiang held the pill furnace and checked it before jumping out of Dong Chen’s hexagonal disk. The moment he jumped out, he suddenly heard the sound of waves as he was standing on an abandoned island. He was currently standing at a beach, and the waves were slowly coming his way, making him feel very cool.

Shen Xiang didn’t believe that this was because his spirit consciousness was influenced, as everything seemed very realistic. He immediately looked around and saw that Dong Chen’s and Liu Meng’er’s disks were nowhere to be seen.

However, Dong Chen was able to see Shen Xiang turning around like a fool and refining pills while Elder Dan had already started refining pills.

Shen Xiang quickly realized that his five senses were confused. It was similar to the method of distraction in Qi Chang Bian, but what really terrified him was that he lost contact with Su Meiyao and company. He shouted at Long Xueling, but didn’t receive an answer.

Liu Meng’er couldn’t help laughing when she saw Shen Xiang’s frightened expression, "This fool doesn’t know someone is watching him."

"Is that mind-illusion power really as strong" Dong Xingyue asked, she hadn’t tried it.

"Yes, staying there for too long can definitely make someone crazy," said Liu Meng’er.

Although Shen Xiang was unaware of their conversation, he could hear the sound of waves and the cries of eagles in the sky.

"Little bastard, hurry up and refine pills because many people are watching you." Suddenly, Long Xueling’s voice came.

Shen Xiang was happy and asked hurriedly, "Where’s Meiyao"

"I’m here. I didn’t expect the mind-illusion power to be so strong. Meiyao and I saw that you’re exactly like what Elder Dan said." Su Meiyao exclaimed, "Snowy Dragon also saw the same thing and she’s using Spirit Flying Nine Heavens. However, nothing matters when flying far away because I’ll only see sea."gns and Five Venerables. Don't worry about your cultivation, you'll definitely become even more powerful when you refine this divine essence," Qi Shi said as he rested his hands on his shoulder. "Cult...
