Scenery Xiang stood firm and refused to take possession of his sisters and cousins, who were pushed onto him by Yun Xiaotiao and Zhu Rong.
The next day, before the break of dawn, Scenery Xiang hurriedly arrived at the entrance to the Mystical Realm. The Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence was inside, but he didn’t know the way.
"You came quite early! Follow me!" Wukaiming said with a smile, showing great interest in Scenery Xiang. Originally, the Alchemy Elder had forbidden anyone other than himself to take him as a disciple but now Scenery Xiang was taking someone from True Martial Realm as his disciple, and he had even entered the Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence.
Scenery Xiang may not have been aware of the significance of entering Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence, but Wukaiming did!
The Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence was only a commonplace mansion, evident by the four characters written in bold across its entrance—Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence. Nothing else was outstanding about it.
“Alchemy Elder, what kind of place is Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence” Scenery Xiang asked.
"Heh, you’ll understand when you go inside. I’m leaving now. Take care!" Wukaiming laughed mysteriously, giving Scenery Xiang a bad feeling.
The atmosphere inside Mystical Realm was filled with abundant energy. Scenery Xiang felt that he could cultivate a substantial amount of True Qi during his stay there, although it wouldn’t match the speed he could achieve if he took a medicinal pill.
"You came quite early! Was it Alchemy Elder who brought you here" the voice of the Alchemy Elder echoed, coming from a nearby pavilion.
Scenery Xiang walked over and said, "Yes. I wonder what kind of duties await me inside Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence."
"There’s only one person residing here, and the same will apply to you too!" The Alchemy Elder said in a stern tone.
“Why” Scenery Xiang’s heart trembled. Spending his days with someone like this would not be a good thing!
"I’m preparing to enter solitary cultivation for some time, so you’ll be taking over the Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence after that!" The Alchemy Elder said, "Your duties won’t be too burdensome. Stuff related to the cultivation of spiritual medicine is handled by a specialist, and other things are managed by someone else. Your main duty is to maintain the reputation of Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence. You’ll understand how when you see it!"
Scenery Xiang was taken aback. He didn’t expect the Alchemy Elder to entrust him with such an important responsibility. From this perspective, the Alchemy Elder wasn’t that hateful after all.
“Could it be that you’re only annoyed with me” Scenery Xiang reached a somewhat amusing conclusion.
Scenery Xiang took in a deep breath and said, "Alchemy Elder, regarding the Foundation Pill…”
"How long will it take I already made them, and they’ve been sent to Immortal Armament Heavenly Kingdom and Frost Wind Valley." The Alchemy Elder said angrily, realizing that Scenery Xiang was thinking of the Foundation Pill matter.
Scenery Xiang nodded and said with a smile, "Many thanks to Alchemy Elder. You may go into solitary cultivation now!"
“Scenery Xiang, let me ask you again. Do you want to take me as your teacher You should know that I’ve never taken a disciple before!” The Alchemy Elder asked with a soft tone in her voice.
Scenery Xiang shook his head, "No. You’ve said that whoever takes me as a disciple will be against you. If I were your disciple, wouldn’t it mean that you would be fighting yourself"
“Hmp, I’ll leave it to you,” The Alchemy Elder took out a jade card and threw it at Scenery Xiang before storming away.
Scenery Xiang received the jade card and looked closely at it. There were spiritual patterns on his head, and there was a mysterious power within the card. The words written on it were “Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence, Scenery Xiang”!
From then on, Scenery Xiang could only stay at Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence. However, he was still somewhat free.
Since Scenery Xiang took Yuhai Sheng as his disciple, Yuhai Sheng rarely appeared in public. He said he would close himself for cultivation but was actually avoiding people because of his status as Scenery Xiang’s disciple.
Scenery Xiang and Yun Xiaotiao didn’t often visit the No.329 Martial College, but they remained its members. They were somewhat surprised when they found out that Zhu Rong, who had plenty of benefits at No.200 Martial College, had given up everything to stay with them and urge Scenery Xiang to take his sister as a disciple.
Thus, Scenery Xiang, Yun Xiaotiao, and Zhu Rong, the stingy fatty, became friends. Although they often vocally criticized each other, their relationship was usually good.
“Big Brother Scenery, you waited for me for a long time!” Yun Xiaotiao saw Scenery Xiang enter the Martial College and hurriedly jumped up. Since Scenery Xiang was inside Imperial Alchemy Grandmaster’s residence, Yun Xiaotiao and Zhu Rong couldn’t enter freely. They could not visit Scenery Xiang when they had something to do.
“Is there anything” Scenery Xiang asked.
Zhu Rong waved a piece of paper in his hand and said helplessly, "Yes. After Yun Xiaoguai’s careful selection, we received a very boring and idiotic assignment."
Only now did Scenery Xiang realize that he had been assigned tasks since he entered the Inner Realm. During this month, he also learned some new martial arts, mainly defensive skills of Zhuque Divine Power which were mostly about water. Although there weren’t many types, Scenery Xiang was satisfied.
Scenery Xiang just wanted to ask about the assignment when Yun Xiaotiao said with a smile, "This is an easy job. It’s about investigating Heavenly Dragon Treasure!"
Heavenly Dragon Treasure! This was a topic that had been discussed for the past few days. During the ancient era, a dragon had descended onto Chenwu Continent and left behind this treasure along with rumors of Heavenly Dragon Treasure’s map. However, the map was sold at a very high price and cost ten thousand crystal stones!
Initially, many people believed that it was fake and someone had spread the news to earn crystal stones. However, after an elderly person analyzed it thoroughly, they found that there was indeed a place where the dragon appeared in rumors.
The area was called Ruined Dragon Mountain Range, which could be considered a dangerous region.
“What Heavenly Dragon Treasure Before the rumors appeared, our Zhu family had already searched for it. Nothing was found!” Zhu Rong said disdainfully.
“Hmp, our Yun family searched for it a hundred years before your Zhu family. Didn’t you still search” Yun Xiaotiao said.
The existence of treasure in Ruined Dragon Mountain Range was an ancient rumor that many people had searched for but failed to find.
Scenery Xiang took the paper Yun Xiaotiao was holding and saw a map along with the instruction of the task given by the Immortal Armament Gate. It was his responsibility to investigate whether it was true and give a detailed report on what he found.
“It might be fake rumors, but it’s a very easy task. We can treat it as if we’re visiting,” Yun Xiaotiao said, "By the way, I heard that many great factions have also come searching. This is not only happening in Immortal Armament State, but other states are also buzzing with activity."
“Indeed. There are too many idiots running such a long distance!” Zhu Rong said with a laugh.
“Let’s head there. It’s likely that many people are searching for the truth! Your family failed to find it before, which might be due to Mystical Realm’s situation. Shouldn’t you know about Mystical Realm” Scenery Xiang asked.
The emergence of the Mystical Realm was very special. Sometimes it appeared spontaneously, sometimes there were certain conditions for its entrance, and sometimes powerful forces were needed to open a path… apart and I absolutely won't let you die comfortably." The Skyspan Devil Lord said in a very grim and terrifying voice, only to see countless black bats suddenly appear in the sky like dark clouds fr...
