A massive sound ca from behind; the Beast of Calamity had already charged over.
Without a mont’s hesitation, the few survivors began to use the Blood Escape Technique, burning their own vital blood to flee for their lives.
However, neither the Great Inspirational King nor the Beast of Calamity showed any signs of letting them go, continuing the relentless pursuit behind them.
Screams erupted from ti to ti beside them, and the number of survivors dwindled ever fewer, the phenonon constantly tornting the souls of the remaining few.
Under such pressure, soone finally couldn’t bear it and broke down. A disciple from the Xueyi Sect roared and charged toward the Great Inspirational King and the Beast of Calamity behind them, triggering a self-destruction.
The fierce shockwave swept around, but it was of no use against the two of them. The gap in strength was simply too wide.
When the remaining three stepped onto the land illuminated by Buddha’s Light, they couldn’t help shedding tears, the experience of escaping from death making them appreciate the preciousness of life.
The Beast of Calamity and the Great Inspirational King, watching the three who had fled into the Buddha’s Light, stopped their murderous pursuit. They looked up at the blazing sun in the sky and rationally chose to retreat. After all, they had had their fill this ti and could now last many more days.
Watching the nightmare-like figures recede, the three let out a sigh of relief, collapsing into the void.
Grand chanting reached their ears, drawing the attention of the three. The sound seed to possess a special power that irresistibly drew them closer.
The three moved involuntarily to the center of Buddha Land and saw the majestic Buddha. Under the radiance of Buddha’s Light, they imdiately felt the weight of their sins and knew that only sincere prayers under the Buddha could redeem them.
In just a few breaths, the three disciples of the Xueyi Sect, who had deeply sinned by killing countless others, transford into the most devout followers of Buddha. They sat down beneath him, starting to chant scriptures, looking for all the world just like everyone else around them.
Outside the Glazed Glass Tower, the two fortunate survivors stared in shock at the scene before them.
The Xueyi Sect mbers, who had just been raging with fury, vanished in the blink of an eye, as though they had never existed in this world.
The junior brother’s mouth gaped open as if he was about to swallow a salted duck egg whole.
Senior Sister Zhao was the first to recover. She gave Lin Fang a formal bow and said, "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!"
Lin Fang looked at the two before him and pondered for a mont before saying, "So it’s you. The numbers have changed so much, I didn’t recognize you."
Last ti it was just a brief encounter; back then, the Qinglian Sword Sect had co with a mighty crowd. Now, only these two forlorn figures remained, truly a testant to the unpredictability of life.
Lin Fang’s words hit the sore spot for the two. On thinking of the elder brother who had willingly sacrificed himself to protect them, the two’s faces were filled with sadness.
"What are your plans now?"
"We have no particular plans, just waiting for the elders of our sect to co so we can inform them of what happened. Our Qinglian Sword Sect must avenge this deep blood feud," Senior Sister Zhao said through clenched teeth, her cold beautiful face filled with grimness.
"Why not explore this relic with ," Lin Fang said, "I have so matters that I could use your help with."
The two were imdiately surprised and looked up. After all, the strength of this mysterious senior was unfathomable, and his divine skills were terrifying. With their low Cultivation Levels, they didn’t know what kind of help the senior could possibly need from them.
Lin Fang candidly said, "It’s nothing much. There are many materials and elixirs that I can’t na, but as you were born into Great Sects, you should know more. Don’t worry, I will reward you."
Senior Sister Zhao hurriedly said, "Senior has saved our lives. There’s no need to talk about any reward. We will certainly tell all that we know."
"Haha, follow !"
Having said that, Lin Fang led the two into the attic. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a burst of exotic fragrance—it was the scent of elixirs. Even after such a long ti, the fragrance was still so intense, which hinted at the preciousness of the elixirs stored here.
The two looked around curiously and saw a huge Pill Furnace in the center, with two cushions placed in front of it, and tall wooden cabinets around it, carved with intricate runes.
There were many small drawers on the cabinets. Each should contain Elixirs.
Junior Brother Xiang curiously opened one of the cabinets, and a fresh fragrance wafted out. However, the Elixirs that should have been there had vanished.
"It must be because too much ti has passed, and the Elixirs have dissipated," sighed Senior Sister Zhao. She too had slled the fleeting fragrance, and just that whiff had quickened her Mana slightly. One could imagine how precious the Elixir in the drawer had been.
Unfortunately, even the most precious things cannot withstand the power of ti. Over the long years, despite the protection of arrays, the vast majority of Elixirs had still dissipated into the air.
Lin Fang asked them with a smile as he opened a drawer, "Take a look, what kind of Elixir is this?"
They stepped forward and indeed saw an Elixir lying quietly within the drawer, exuding a clean fragrance. Although the Elixir was significantly smaller in size, it had at least been preserved.
After carefully slling the Elixir and examining it, Senior Sister Zhao said, "If I’m not mistaken, this should be the once famous Pure Spirit Pill, which can purify the Primordial Spirit and reduce the Heart Demon’s influence. It’s been lost for many years. I didn’t expect to find one still remaining here."
They then continued to see several different kinds of Elixirs, all extrely precious and many of which had already beco extinct in the Cultivation World.
However, most of these Elixirs were not of much use to Lin Fang. In terms of realm, he had long surpassed those so-called ascendants, so many Elixirs that were beneficial for cultivators were no more than novelties to him.
What Lin Fang valued was the wisdom of the Alchemists behind these Elixirs. He had learned a lot of Alchemy Techniques from Ling Xuzi, studied the Art of Refinent Tool from the Elderly Lord, and consud a Golden Core. His accumulated knowledge was already sufficient.
By studying these Elixirs, he could get a clear understanding of the trajectory of Alchemy, and from there he could have a smooth journey and perhaps even beco an Alchemy Grandmaster in a few years.
So although the findings were not plentiful, he listened with keen interest and thought to himself, "Indeed, one should not underestimate the wisdom of the predecessors. Even though the path of cultivation has been tampered with, the fire of wisdom ignited by mankind is still astounding."
He pocketed the remaining Elixirs and then looked at the Pill Furnace standing quietly in the center.
"Senior, I have seen this Pill Furnace in books from my sect—it should be the legendary Nine Qi Xuanhuang Furnace, known as the number one treasure furnace for Alchemy back then. Using it to craft Elixirs could increase the dicinal properties by nearly twenty percent. It is a rare Treasure," said Junior Brother Xiang who always liked to read various books, so he recognized this furnace.
