"There are many spiritual plants in many places that we can't even get together, and they might even become food for magical beasts."
Wei Qinghe remained silent, recalling what she had said to the city lord earlier.
"The City That Never Sleeps keeps recruiting alchemists, using secret realms and holy sites as bait to lure people in one after another. Is it just going to watch all the alchemists die here?"
Hongqi Daozun's expression suddenly changed. Was his disciple, who was obsessed with alchemy, also in grave danger?
Doesn't the city lord need beauty pills? If all the alchemists are dead, what will happen to her beauty pills?
Wei Qinghe said calmly, "The only requirement the city lord has for alchemists is beauty pills. She should have a lot of beauty pills in stock."
If the people inside really can't get out, then the beauty pills she has can hold out for a while, or even longer.
However, the city lord needs the Condensation Pill she refines, and even if he doesn't spare other alchemists, he will definitely protect her.
Moreover, she wasn't the kind of alchemist who could be manipulated at will.
"We've all made her beauty pills..." the alchemists said.
"Then why don't you go out?" asked Daoist Hongqi.
They have yellow talismans given to them by the city lord; they can simply go out and shatter the talismans if they wish.
"We can't get out." Some alchemists were already crying.
When Daoist Hongqi wanted to ask about the yellow talisman, Wei Qinghe shook her head at him.
"The reason you can't get out is because you were given too many beauty pills. Once the beauty pills expire, you'll be able to leave."
Wei Qinghe was trying to appease them; she didn't want to try using the yellow talisman right now, since she hadn't found her fifth senior brother yet.
"We only know that this secret realm is good, and there is a holy land that can be entered. It is true that the city lord was given a lot of beauty pills."
The alchemists spoke with dejected faces, filled with regret.
"That's right. Since the time gained from the Beauty Pill hasn't expired, you won't be teleported out. Once the time is up, you won't be able to stay any longer." Wei Qinghe was now wondering where her fifth senior brother was and where the sacred place of the secret realm was.
Have you found the holy site?
"No, we were just wandering around nearby. The magical beasts in there are very powerful; many alchemists are probably all dead."
The alchemists shook their heads. If the holy land were so easy to find, they wouldn't have been wandering around here all this time, not only gaining nothing but also almost losing their lives.
"Master, let's go." Wei Qinghe said no more. Now she needed to find her fifth senior brother and the Holy Land.
"Fellow Daoist, since we have met by fate, why don't we travel together? We promise not to steal or take away your resources; we will simply follow you."
Several alchemists followed behind Wei Qinghe and his apprentice with trepidation.
Wei Qinghe and his apprentice did not chase them away, but continued forward, and along the way they found quite a few precious medicinal herbs and spiritual plants.
The alchemists behind them watched them harvest medicinal herbs and spiritual plants without a trace of jealousy. Instead, they stared blankly at the magical beast that Wei Qinghe and his apprentice had killed.
"These two are the strongest alchemists I have ever seen in terms of combat power."
“I even saw the shadow of a sword cultivator in the little girl. Every time she drew her sword, it was fast, accurate and ruthless, as if many sword cultivators could not compare to her.”
"No matter what, if we just stick with them, we should be able to get out of here alive."
"I wonder how much time they gained by using the beauty pills. If their time was shorter than ours, we might be in even more dangerous situations."
Some alchemists no longer wanted to follow the two. They had been operating on the fringes of danger all along the way, and had witnessed even greater perils.
In the end, the alchemists returned to where they were.
With fewer alchemists around, the master and apprentice were able to work even more freely.
A wisp of sword energy suddenly flashed past from the front. The master and apprentice looked at the familiar sword energy, exchanged a glance, and then quickly moved forward.
That sword energy belonged to Wei Qinghe. Wei Qinghe had imbued the sword energy into a talisman and given it to her fifth senior brother for self-defense.
Hongqi Daozun was very worried. "He even used this protective talisman. It seems that your fifth senior brother is really in danger."
A fierce battle erupted from the woods ahead, sword energy clashed and pierced the air, and the cries of demonic beasts echoed through the air.
Wei Qinghe didn't want to wait any longer and immediately flew away on her sword. "Master, take care of yourself."
The jade-like longsword beneath his feet gleamed faintly, while the Azure Frost Sword in his hand was enveloped in the power of wood elements.
Suddenly, a large tree fell down in front of them, and cracks spread rapidly across the ground.
