The scene before my eyes changed again.
Gu Qingfeng was shocked to find that he was in a huge cave. The cave was so vast that it seemed as if the entire mountain had been hollowed out. The ground was also very flat, as if it had been hammered and chiseled by humans.
Except for him, the remaining one hundred people were all in the cave.
The only difference from him was that these hundred people were all covered in a light shield with an alchemy furnace placed inside. Each of them looked like imprisoned laborers, refining the elixir like crazy.
"What's going on? Why are they all locked up?" Gu Qingfeng was completely confused. As no guardian spirit came out to explain to him, he just walked past the light shields and went to Li Xiaocui's side.
He asked through the light shield: "Xiao Cui, why are you all locked in cages? Did I miss some exciting part?"
Li Xiaocui, who had raised her hand to smash the alchemy furnace, suddenly stopped when she heard the familiar voice. She turned her head back in a flash.
Then he looked at Gu Qingfeng outside the light shield and was stunned for a moment.
"Gu Qingfeng!?" Li Xiaocui screamed, her voice a little distorted.
"You, you, you...how did you get in without a spirit guide?"
Li Xiaocui's shout successfully interrupted everyone from their concentration on refining the elixir.
Everyone's eyes turned here, and then they were all stunned.
Everyone's eyes widened as if they had seen something incredible.
"How is this possible! Why aren't you locked up, but instead are you outside the restriction area? No...that's not right, it should be why were you able to come in without a spirit guide?" someone suddenly exclaimed.
However, as he exclaimed and was distracted, the fire in the furnace in front of him instantly went out of control.
boom!
The furnace exploded.
The flames instantly filled the entire light shield.
When the flames faded, the man's clothes, hair, and eyebrows were all gone, and he turned into a smoking black man. Then, before he could react, white light suddenly engulfed his figure and teleported him out of the secret realm through the light shield.
Although the man left, Gu Qingfeng still replied out of politeness.
"Isn't it enough to have legs?"
Everyone looked at Gu Qingfeng who was able to move freely and felt that their world views were challenged.
Why can he come in without a spirit guide? And why doesn't he need to make an elixir after coming in?
Doesn't that mean he can directly enter the light gate leading to the place of inheritance?
At this moment, the way they looked at Gu Qingfeng was like the way college entrance examination candidates looked at the students recommended by Tsinghua University and Peking University, as if they passed the exam directly without having to take it.
"You... who are you?" Someone in the crowd asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
Because what Gu Qingfeng did along the way was really... too unbelievable.
In the first level, you need to drain the magma to drive the fire dragon, block the door and collect tolls.
In the second level, one person gets all the spirit guides and holds an auction.
The third level is even more outrageous. It's like being at home. You can just wander around and ignore the alchemy part.
"I am just like you, here to explore the secret realm." Gu Qingfeng said with a smile.
Everyone was madly complaining in their hearts, I don't believe you! We are here to explore the secret realm, what you are doing is going home!
"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. This should be the last level. Will we be able to obtain the inheritance by walking into that light gate? Judging from your appearance, you may have to practice the elixir before you can come out. Well, I will go in first and check it out for everyone, so that you won't be in danger."
Gu Qingfeng pointed to the light gate on the stone wall not far away and asked.
Li Xiaocui looked at Gu Qingfeng with a complicated expression, as if she had a feeling of having lost something and then found it again.
“This is indeed the last level, but it can also be considered the penultimate level. Behind the light gate is the place of inheritance. Inside is a stone tablet with the introductory chapter of the Divine Refining Method engraved on it. Only those who comprehend the introductory chapter are qualified to obtain the true inheritance.
You can think of it as the final stage, a test of one’s understanding.”
Gu Qingfeng nodded: "Okay, then I'll go in first."
At this time, Li Xiaocui suddenly transmitted a message into the secret: "Gu Qingfeng, the method of divine refining is mysterious and profound. Even the introductory chapter is not something that humans can comprehend. It belongs to the realm of gods. Every time the Jade Dragon Secret Realm is opened, ten people can enter the inheritance place and view the stone tablet. Those who can enter are all amazingly talented and intelligent. However, in a hundred years, no one has been able to comprehend the introductory chapter of the divine refining method. You can imagine how difficult it is.
Please wait for me here for a moment. I will refine the elixir soon and come out. Then we can go in together. I have a way to help you obtain the inheritance."
Gu Qingfeng looked at Li Xiaocui in surprise, and replied in the same secret voice transmission: "This is the first time you have spoken such a long paragraph since I met you."
Li Xiaocui's breathing stagnated slightly. Why is this person's focus always so strange? !
Li Xiaocui took a deep breath and continued to speak in secret: "The reason why Lord Li asked me to come with you is for this last level. As long as you listen to me and we work together, we will definitely get the inheritance!"
"Xiao Cui, you are not behaving well~" Gu Qingfeng said with a strange laugh.
"According to what you said, wouldn't it be the same if I waited for you in the inheritance land?"
"That's because you have a erratic personality. I'm afraid you'll go in and destroy the stone tablet, causing the plan to fail!" Li Xiaocui said hastily.
Li Xiaocui was really scared. Gu Qingfeng played each of the three levels of this secret realm more elaborately than the last. She was afraid that Gu Qingfeng would cause some trouble again after entering the place of inheritance.
In fact, what she was more afraid of was that Gu Qingfeng was too incredible, too mysterious, and full of mysteries. What if... he really understood the introductory chapter of the Divine Refining Method by himself?
Wouldn't that mean the inheritance would belong to him?
"Oh? Then tell me about your plan."
"Okay." Li Xiaocui said simply.
"To tell you the truth, I am just like you, a gifted person, and I also possess soul power comparable to that of a master."
Gu Qingfeng nodded without any surprise.
In fact, he had discovered it a long time ago. When he was looking for the spirit guide, because he needed to release his soul power to search for it, he sensed that the soul power released by Li Xiaocui was very strong, comparable to that of a master.
"Then what?"
“The introductory chapter of the Divine Refining Method is extremely mysterious. It is impossible for humans to see through it. Not only can it not be seen through, it is even impossible to remember. This is why many people have made it to the last level and seen the introductory chapter of the Divine Refining Method over the past hundred years, but it has not been spread to the outside world.
So if you want to obtain the inheritance, you have to find another way, that is to attack violently!"
"storm?"
"Yes, it's a strong attack!"
