"Holy shit, the location for the fourth sign-in was actually Myriad Medicine Hall?" Hun Han clicked his tongue inwardly. This was practically giving him special treatment.
Hun Han knew all too well what kind of place Myriad Medicine Hall was. It was merely a shop selling medicinal herbs in Qingshan Town of the Gamma Empire. Since he had transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent, there were naturally some people he had to meet! And if he was going to meet them, he definitely had to visit Myriad Medicine Hall!
Wasn't this special treatment?
"Ding!"
"The system has issued a new Location Sign-in mission. Please sign in at Myriad Medicine Hall. Would you like to accept the sign-in mission?"
"Accept!"
Hun Han answered without hesitation. Signing in at Myriad Medicine Hall was practically an easy point-scoring question!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, you have accepted a new sign-in mission. Please sign in at Myriad Medicine Hall. No time limit!"
Talisman Secret Codex: Originated from the ancient Talisman Sect of the Dou Qi Continent. It gathered the essence of the Talisman Sect's talismans, passed down for a million years. It was the most comprehensive and detailed talisman codex.
"Talisman Secret Codex?"
Hun Han was slightly stunned. Then, an enormous flood of information poured into his mind. In an instant, Hun Han obtained the complete set of first- to ninth-tier talismans from ancient times. The contents were truly detailed. So long as he possessed sufficient soul power, Dou Qi, and the necessary materials, he could completely draw ninth-tier talismans capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"Master, are you also a Formation Master?" Hun Han curiously looked at the old man before him, whose hair was a mess and whose brows faintly carried a sickly air.
As Hun Tiandi's thirteenth son, Hun Han had learned some things about ancient times from old records.
During ancient times, martial cultivation had flourished like never before. Alchemists, Talisman Masters, Formation Masters, poison masters, and other professions had all contended in splendor. Yet for some unknown reason, as the ages passed, many professions had vanished into the river of history. On the current continent, many Dou Zhe knew only of alchemists, unaware that Talisman Masters and Formation Masters had once existed, professions capable of rivaling alchemists.
"No. Formation Masters have nearly gone extinct. This teleportation formation originally belonged here!" the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang answered.
"Originally?" Hun Han caught a key word.
"Mhm."
From the Exploding Heaven Gang leader's account, Hun Han finally learned the truth. Long ago, the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang had been an ambitious young man full of fighting spirit. While traveling across the continent, he came to this strange mountain range.
Driven by curiosity, the Exploding Heaven Gang leader entered the place and discovered this teleportation formation made from piled white jade amid a stretch of ruins. Afterward, he settled here and founded the Exploding Heaven Gang!
In his earlier years, the Exploding Heaven Gang leader had roughly repaired the place. Later, he simply could not recruit any satisfactory disciples, and his fighting spirit gradually wore away. That was how the Exploding Heaven Gang became what it was today.
"Master, were the skeletons in the courtyard all your work?" Hun Han asked thoughtfully.
"Mhm. The nearby residents are always trying to take advantage, coming here every so often to steal a few bricks and pieces of white marble. Your master cannot stay here all the time, so those skeletons and ghostly flames are the best deterrents!"
The leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang explained. Then his deep eyes fixed on Hun Han as he asked, "But why were you so determined to enter this hall earlier? Could it be that you knew there was a teleportation formation here?"
Hun Han had entered this place only because of that sign-in mission. He had stumbled into it by accident. Facing the Exploding Heaven Gang leader's doubts, Hun Han replied, "If I said I didn't know beforehand, would you believe me?"
The leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang did not respond. Instead, he stepped onto the white marble stairs, seemingly unconcerned about the matter. He instructed, "Come. Your master will take you to the other place connected to this teleportation formation!"
"The other place?"
Hun Han's heart suddenly surged with the excitement of treasure hunting. As a transmigrator, he knew that any teleportation formation was bound to lead to a decent instance dungeon. Well, the Dou Zhe of the Dou Qi Continent called them secret realms, ruins, and cave abodes.
Could it be that he, Hun Han, would encounter an opportunity here?
Hun Han fantasized as much in his heart.
As he stepped onto the jade-like stairs and examined them up close, Hun Han discovered that the jade was covered in countless obscure, incomprehensible patterns. An ancient aura spread from the jade. When Hun Han set foot on the teleportation formation, he keenly sensed that the surrounding space was slightly colder than the other areas of the ancient hall.
The leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang touched his storage ring with a finger and flicked his hand. A Magic Core appeared in his palm. Cold air radiated from around the Magic Core, and five icy crystal patterns marked its surface. It was clearly a fifth-tier ice-attributed Magic Core!
Hun Han was slightly taken aback. A Magic Core like that was worth several hundred thousand Gold Coins. Yet the leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang before him had still gone around as a beggar. It seemed that, just as he had said, begging was merely an interest of his.
The leader of the Exploding Heaven Gang activated a wisp of Dou Qi, drawing out the energy within the Magic Core in his hand. Then he placed it on the jade platform at the center of the teleportation formation. At the top of the jade platform was a downward groove. When the Magic Core was placed inside it, the runes on the jade platform lit up. Energy flowed along the patterns until the entire teleportation formation shone, and the surrounding space hummed. The sound grew louder and louder as ripples spread through space.
At the same time, Hun Han could clearly sense the temperature around him suddenly dropping by several degrees Celsius!
Then, the dazzling light temporarily blinded Hun Han. An immensely powerful pulling force emerged from the surrounding space. The next second, his body felt as though it had entered an ice cave, with threads of cold air invading his flesh.
Once Hun Han regained his vision, he finally looked around.
Beneath Hun Han's feet was a teleportation formation seven meters long and seven meters high, identical to the one in the ancient hall outside. Beyond the formation lay a world of ice and snow. But this was no ordinary frozen land. There was no sky here, only a pitch-black canopy. Or rather, it was not a canopy at all, because not even the faintest trace of stars could be seen.
Around this area, towering cliffs could faintly be seen. Countless Moonlight Stones were embedded in those cliffs, allowing people to see this place.
The area was not large, only around several million square meters. Apart from the Moonlight Stones embedded in the cliffs, countless neat stone pillars, each two meters tall, had been erected across the ground. A Moonlight Stone was embedded atop every pillar, making the entire area exceptionally bright.
Yet at the center of this area stood a towering stone platform. Black light pulsed from atop it, looking utterly out of place.
Hun Han said in shock, "That is... Nine Nether Wind Ice!"
