Ruan Xiyan was certain that the poison was extremely tempting to the Queen of Insects, and that the Queen of Insects would find it difficult to give up the poison that greatly enhanced her strength.
She was also extremely eager to visit the place where the Emperor-grade alchemist inherited his legacy, since the Emperor-grade alchemist was the pinnacle of alchemy that all alchemists pursued.
As the saying goes, a person who doesn't aspire to become an Emperor-grade alchemist is not a good alchemist.
However, she knew how to control her emotions, unlike the Insect Queen who showed her desire for the Imperial-grade alchemist. As the saying goes, the one who shows desire first has already lost.
Even if the Queen Insect is incredibly intelligent, possessing wisdom comparable to that of a human, she still couldn't outmaneuver Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan took out three more bottles of poison. The Queen Insect's gaze immediately fell on the three bottles of poison, her eyes filled with undisguised desire.
"If I tell you the location of the Imperial-grade alchemist's inheritance, you'll give me the three vials of poison you have. You'll keep your word, won't you?"
“A promise made is a promise kept,” Ruan Xiyan said, enunciating each word clearly.
"I'll trust you this once." The Insect Queen recounted everything she knew about the place where the Imperial-grade Alchemist lineage was passed down.
"The Imperial-grade alchemists are located at the northernmost edge of the Pill Realm. I once accidentally wandered into that place."
"However, there is a barrier outside that place of inheritance, and only human alchemists can enter it. I have only seen it from afar and have never actually gone in."
"I don't know what's inside either. This is a map leading to that place of inheritance."
The Queen of Insects waved her hand, and a map formed by her power appeared before her.
Ruan Xiyan silently memorized the location of the inheritance site.
"I've told you everything I need to say. Whether you can obtain the inheritance of that Emperor-grade alchemist depends entirely on your own fate."
The Queen Insect reached out to Ruan Xiyan, "My poison."
Ruan Xiyan tossed the three vials of poison to the Queen Insect.
The queen insect quickly caught it and carefully put it away.
Ruan Xiyan looked at Biqiong and the others who were still confronting the insectoid people, and called out, "Biqiong, let's go."
"We're here, Master!" Bi Qiong made a face at the insectoid people and excitedly followed Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan put Biqiong and the others into her spatial storage and headed towards the Land of Inheritance based on the locations she had memorized.
While traveling, Yao Yao's ability to detect spiritual herbs allowed her to make a great harvest along the way.
In the blink of an eye, half the time had passed, and Ruan Xiyan finally arrived at the northernmost part of Danjing.
She stood before a towering tree that was at least a thousand years old, gazing at it and circling it several times.
Finally, the surrounding bushes were removed, revealing a tree hole less than a person's height.
Ruan Xiyan stared at the small tree hole. According to the Queen Insect, this tree hole was the only way to reach the Land of Inheritance.
She didn't know what was inside the tree hollow, but now that she was here, she was determined to explore whatever lay ahead.
Ruan Xiyan bent down and crawled into the tree hole. The hole was very narrow, so she could only walk forward by bending over.
The deeper you go, the steeper and more slanted the tree hollow becomes.
Moreover, the tree hole was very slippery, and Ruan Xiyan was sliding forward uncontrollably.
I don't know how long I glided before a bright light appeared in front of me.
Ruan Xiyan slid out of the hole in the tree and was about to fall to the ground when she flipped over and stood steadily on the ground.
What came into view was a huge alchemy cauldron, which seemed to be as big as a palace, standing on the wasteland not far away.
The alchemy cauldron was ancient and solemn. As Ruan Xiyan approached, she could see the patterns extending from its surface.
Beneath the enormous alchemy cauldron was an entrance that resembled a door.
Ruan Xiyan approached the small door, through which she could see the entire interior of the alchemy cauldron palace.
The Alchemy Cauldron Palace was empty except for a round table with an alchemy cauldron on it, which was a miniature version of the giant Alchemy Cauldron Palace.
Ruan Xiyan did not rush into the alchemy cauldron palace, but stopped at the entrance.
Her hand gently reached into the doorway, but was stopped by an invisible barrier. When she touched the barrier at the doorway, the power on the barrier rippled.
Is this the barrier of the inheritance land that the Queen of Insects spoke of? A thoughtful expression appeared on Ruan Xiyan's face.
Only alchemists can break this barrier, but how can one break it?
Suddenly, a swift attack came from the side. Ruan Xiyan reacted quickly and dodged.
A spirit bear came into her view, and Ruan Xiyan's eyes darkened as she looked at the suddenly appearing spirit bear.
This place of inheritance actually has a guardian beast. The Queen Insect hadn't mentioned anything about the guardian beast to her before. It seems she had her own ulterior motives and wanted to take revenge on her.
Now is not the time to think about these things; the most important thing is to focus on dealing with this guardian beast.
"Human, leave now! This is the final resting place of my master. Do not disturb him!" the spirit bear roared at Ruan Xiyan.
"I'm here to receive the inheritance." Ruan Xiyan looked up at the enormous spirit bear.
"Are you an alchemist?" Spirit Bear asked.
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
"You, so frail, dare to accept my master's inheritance and begin the inheritance trial? You'd better take my blow first." The spirit bear brandished its paws and attacked Ruan Xiyan.
The Frostfall Sword appeared in Ruan Xiyan's hand.
If the only way to receive the inheritance of an Emperor-grade alchemist is to defeat the guardian beast of the inheritance land, then let's fight!
Ruan Xiyan gripped the Frostfall Sword, which gleamed with a cold light, and flew towards the spirit bear.
The spirit bear slapped down with its paw, and despite Ruan Xiyan's best efforts to defend herself, she still managed to retreat several steps.
What terrifying power!
The power of this spirit bear's casual strike is equivalent to that of a strike from a ninth-level Supreme Realm expert.
Using the bear's force against it, Ruan Xiyan broke free from its claws. The bear's claws missed their mark and struck the ground, leaving a deep paw print.
Since she was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Ruan Xiyan pushed her speed to the limit.
This bear is so big, it must be slow and clumsy.
Ruan Xiyan circled around the spirit bear, launching an attack every now and then.
The spirit bear has thick hide and tough flesh, so these attacks don't cause it much damage, but they dazzle it and make it impossible to defend against them. It can only passively endure the attacks from all directions.
The spirit bear roared, clenched its fists, and slammed them hard into the ground.
Suddenly, many sharp earthen cones rose from the ground, their barbs pointing skyward, one after another, without any discernible pattern.
Ruan Xiyan dodged and weaved through the emerging spikes.
She retreated continuously, waiting for the right moment, and swung her sword, shattering the layers of earth spikes inch by inch.
Ruan Xiyan gathered her power into the Frostfall Sword in her hand, and the sword energy condensed, sending a sword shadow towards the spirit bear.
