The scenery in the secret realm was rapidly receding before her eyes, but Meng Wan had no intention of appreciating it.
Her eyes were sharp as a knife, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
Flying over a dense forest, she suddenly sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual power coming from the front.
Meng Wan raised her eyebrows, and her body suddenly stopped, floating in mid-air, her eyes falling on an ancient mountain.
A ruined palace can be vaguely seen on the top of the mountain, and a faint spiritual light shrouds the palace.
"interesting."
A smile appeared on Meng Wan's lips, and she flashed and flew towards the mountain.
A moment later, she landed in front of the palace.
Although the palace is in ruins, its former glory can still be seen.
The tall stone pillars are engraved with ancient runes, and the palace gate is half open and half closed, as if waiting for the arrival of the destined person.
Meng Wan slowly stepped into the palace and saw at a glance that there were many new traces of fighting on the ground, and there were still a few faint demonic fluctuations remaining on the walls.
She frowned slightly. It seemed that many people had already entered this place and even had a dispute.
You have to act quickly, otherwise someone else may get the chance first.
Meng Wan flashed and flew towards the depths of the palace.
However, not long after flying, her way was blocked by a huge stone tablet engraved with ancient demonic characters.
Meng Wan stopped and read the words on the stone tablet carefully.
After a moment, a glint of understanding flashed in her eyes: "So that's how it is. This is the burial place of the Ancient Emperor. To obtain his inheritance, one must pass nine levels of trials."
Meng Wan pressed her palm against the stone tablet without hesitation. The demonic characters on the stone tablet suddenly lit up, and a dazzling light enveloped her.
The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a quiet hall.
There was a pill furnace in front of him. Beside the furnace, besides three herbs and a pill recipe, there was also a long incense stick for timekeeping.
The main hall is very spacious, with more than a dozen alchemy furnaces placed inside.
In front of each alchemy furnace, there was a demon cultivator sitting cross-legged, concentrating on refining the elixir.
There were also incense sticks burning around them, some long and some short.
Meng Wan swept her eyes over the monsters and found that their expressions were very solemn. It seemed that the process of refining the elixir was not easy.
Her gaze finally fell on a stone tablet in front of the hall, on which were engraved several lines of strange writing.
"The first test: Alchemy. You can only pass the test if you can refine the elixir specified by the Ancient Emperor.
Each person has three days to complete the task. The recipe, furnace, and herbs are all provided. Those who fail will be expelled from the secret realm."
After reading the contents on the stone tablet and the pill recipe at her feet, Meng Wan frowned slightly.
She knew nothing about alchemy. She might be able to try making low-level elixirs below the Golden Core stage, but making sixth-level elixirs that required the cultivation level of Refining Void was nothing but a fantasy to her.
Even if she was given a hundred herbs, she might not be able to successfully refine one.
Meng Wan raised her head and looked at the other demon cultivators in the field.
Most of the demon cultivators in the hall looked focused, but there were also many who looked troubled, as if they were not proficient in alchemy.
Just then, a loud noise was heard.
A furnace in front of Meng Wan's left suddenly exploded, black smoke billowed, and herbal residues splattered everywhere.
"Fail three times, the assessment is over."
A cold voice came from the stone tablet, and the demon cultivator who blew up the furnace flashed and was enveloped by a ray of light, then disappeared in the hall.
Seeing this, the other demon cultivators became even more nervous, but some remained calm.
Meng Wan's gaze fell on a demon cultivator who was refining an elixir. The man was very skilled, and the medicinal liquid was slowly condensing in the elixir furnace. It seemed that he was about to succeed.
"Since I can't make pills, I have to find another way."
A hint of coldness flashed in Meng Wan's eyes. She waved out a demon energy and suddenly pounced towards the demon cultivator who was about to succeed.
The demon cultivator didn't expect that someone would attack here. He was startled and his movements suddenly stopped.
As he paused, the liquid in the furnace suddenly went out of control, emitting a burst of black smoke and almost exploding the furnace.
However, just as Meng Wan's attack was about to hit the opponent, a light curtain suddenly lit up, blocking all her attacks.
"During the assessment period, it is forbidden to interfere with others' alchemy."
A cold voice came from the stone tablet, with a hint of warning in its tone.
"If it happens again, your qualification for the assessment will be revoked!"
Meng Wan was shocked by the light curtain and took a few steps back, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
It turns out that stealing the pills doesn't work.
The demon cultivator who was attacked came to his senses and looked at Meng Wan, his eyes full of anger.
"Are you crazy? How dare you attack me here? You caused me to fail in refining the elixir and nearly explode the furnace!"
Meng Wan sneered, "If you curse again, I guarantee your next batch of medicine will fail."
The demon cultivator paused, his face turning blue with anger, but he didn't dare to continue provoking Meng Wan. He could only grit his teeth and continue refining the elixir.
The others saw this scene and their eyelids twitched wildly.
When they meet someone who doesn't follow the rules, they can only pray secretly that the person won't cause them trouble.
Seeing this, Meng Wan thought to herself, "It seems that interfering with others won't work. If that's the case, I'll have to find another way."
She closed her eyes, and her spiritual awareness quietly spread, covering the entire hall, and she clearly sensed the alchemy process of each demon cultivator.
She carefully observed the movements of those alchemy masters, trying to find some patterns.
However, the sixth-level elixir is too difficult to obtain.
Even if she tried her best to perceive, many specific techniques for processing medicinal materials, alchemy techniques, and control of heat, etc., could not be achieved overnight.
Half an hour later, Meng Wan opened her eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing in them.
She realized that she simply couldn't learn to refine sixth-grade pills in such a short time.
Since she couldn't pass the trial, no one else could either.
Meng Wan snorted coldly and suddenly raised her hand. The demonic power surged wildly in her palm, turning into a huge energy wave, sweeping towards the surrounding alchemy furnaces.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Following a series of explosions, the alchemy furnaces in the hall exploded one after another, and the medicinal residue splattered all over the ground.
The demon cultivators who were refining pills were stunned by this sudden change, and then looked at Meng Wan angrily.
"You're looking for death? How dare you destroy all of our alchemy furnaces!"
A demon cultivator roared, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
However, before he finished speaking, a cold voice came from the stone tablet: "The alchemy failed, the test is over."
The next moment, the figures of those demon cultivators were enveloped by a ray of light and then disappeared in the hall.
Meng Wan was the only one left in the hall.
At the same time, a cold voice came from the stone tablet again: "For maliciously disrupting order, the qualification for the assessment will be cancelled, and the annihilation formation will be activated. The annihilation begins."
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall began to shake violently.
The runes on the stone wall suddenly lit up, and destructive forces surged towards Meng Wan from all directions.
