Qing Mu sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, because I also started by practicing the old art. This road is too difficult. It takes countless efforts and sweat, and decades of time, but it is difficult to achieve success. The highest peak in theory is the alchemist, and the end point is determined."
Sure enough, the answer was the same, the same conclusion reached by the Life Research Institute at Nova.
"In fact, the most pessimistic thing is that even if you already know where the end of the road is, few people can reach that level. After the pre-Qin period, there are fewer and fewer people who can reach the level of alchemists, and since modern times, there are no more at all."
The old arts became increasingly decadent, and the alchemists had long become legends, difficult to find.
"The place where the alchemist is standing is the end of the road. No one has tried to continue exploring?" Wang Xuan asked.
"It's easier said than done. Throughout the ages, even true alchemists have not appeared again, so how can future generations dare to think about this?" Qingmu shook his head bitterly and said, "In ancient times, there were some powerful and ambitious people who wanted to continue to deduce the path, but unfortunately, no one succeeded."
"Why were those alchemists able to push the old techniques to the extreme, and later generations could never surpass them?" Wang Xuan asked.
"Do you think it's the result of several alchemists' hard work? No, it's the result of generations of powerful alchemists constantly perfecting the old techniques. In the end, there was really no way out, and the top alchemists might be the strongest individuals among ancient humans."
…
That night, Qingmu asked people to prepare various equipment for Wang Xuan's expedition, including alloy knives, daggers, protective clothing, simulated human skin masks, etc.
In addition, there are hot weapons!
They set off the next morning, first coming to the outside of the city, boarding a small spaceship in a secret manor and heading to Qingcheng Mountain.
The small spacecraft is so advanced that Earth's satellites cannot detect it.
It was the first time for Wang Xuan to sit in this kind of spaceship. Everything seemed new to him, but he just observed calmly without asking any questions.
He felt that he had a lot to learn.
Aoki personally participated in the operation, which shows how much importance he attached to it.
In addition to Wang Xuan, there were four other people traveling with him. All of them wore realistic human skin masks, and it was unknown what their real expressions were.
Qing Mu said: "The target is Qingcheng Mountain. This time, a chaebol from Xinxing has sent people to secretly dig in the mountain. Our target is also there!"
"What was discovered in Qingcheng Mountain that attracted the rising star's tycoon?" someone asked.
Before the operation, everything was kept secret and even they didn't know the destination at first.
Qingmu said seriously, "Someone seems to have discovered some remarkable records in the bamboo slips left by a pre-Qin alchemist, and the target is directly pointing to Qingcheng Mountain."
"Are they still interested in the alchemist's inheritance?" someone asked. The new star has super skills and the old skills have been officially abandoned.
Qingmu said very seriously, "There are some secrets recorded on the deciphered bamboo slips. It seems that there is something in Qingcheng Mountain that makes the alchemists excited and thrilled, so the chaebol came secretly again this time."
The spirits of the few people were greatly boosted, and even Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. There was a new discovery in Qingcheng Mountain? It made the alchemists think about it. Could it be related to... the immortals? !
The most powerful among the alchemists are considered to be immortals.
But some people do not agree with this and think it is more mysterious and powerful than the alchemists.
"People from the Zhou family and the Ling family dug into the underground palace and found their target!" Qingmu whispered. He had just received the latest secret information.
Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Those two families?!
It didn't take long for them to get closer to their destination.
Qingcheng Mountain is known as one of the four famous mountains of Taoism and one of the five immortal mountains.
It is also considered one of the birthplaces of Taoism. Zhang Daoling once lived in a hut in Qingcheng Mountain to preach. There is a saying that he finally passed away in this mountain.
