Lin Yi sneered and unleashed a magnificent sword light. However, Saint Shanhe had already sensed it and quickly dodged. Lin Yi's sword sliced a hundred-zhang-high peak of a nearby mountain in half.
Upon seeing this, Saint Shanhe's eyelids twitched. How exactly did Qin Jian cultivate? How could even a casual move make him tremble with fear?
" Town Guardian Qin, although you are the Tong Pass Guardian, you probably don't know the true secrets of Martial Saint City, do you? Do you know where those Martial Saint went?"
"Naturally, it is the secret realm of Martial Saint City."
"Hmph, that's just a pretense to deceive those who don't know the truth. This is a great secret of the Ancient Domain, known only to Martial Saint. If you spare my life, I'll tell you the inside story. After you become Martial Saint, you'll definitely have to go to that place, so you can prepare in advance..."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't seem to care.
Right now, nothing is more important than killing Saint Shanhe.
This person has witnessed my various methods. Although they don't suspect my identity now, it doesn't mean they won't in the future.
Therefore, the Saint Shanhe must die today.
Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
A sudden roar came from the sky, and thick black clouds were seen swirling and churning above their heads, as if something was about to emerge.
No!
Lin Yi and Saint Shanhe both sensed a great crisis.
The next moment, a pair of enormous Black Giant Hand slowly emerged from the thick, churning black clouds.
The Dark Hand, obscuring the sky and the sun, carries endless majesty and a sense of oppression.
A buzzing sound filled the air, as if the space itself had frozen.
These large hands don't look human. Although they have fingers, they are as thick as mountains, with extremely sharp nails. Each finger seems to contain the power to destroy everything.
The thick, Dark Hand with sharp, pointed fingers slowly opened in the air, then slammed down with irresistible speed and power!
Lin Yi and Saint Shanhe were slightly taken aback, and a great fear arose in their hearts. They fled in different directions without prior agreement.
Boom!
With this strike, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The ground trembled violently, followed by a devastating explosion, like a Level 10 earthquake, where all the trees and rocks collapsed instantly, turning to dust.
A fierce wind arose, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the world Chaos. Lin Yi, in the form of lightning and golden light, fled without looking back amidst the earth-shattering shockwave.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the Saint Shanhe. The sense of danger emanating from the Black Giant Hand emerging from the clouds was far greater than that of the Saint Shanhe, and could even be compared to that of the Spirit Vine Child.
Even if Lin Yi's Eye of Thunder Punishment or Blazing Flame Fire could threaten these Black Giant Hand, he would first need to escape their attack range.
After rushing hundreds of miles without sensing any danger, Lin Yi turned his head.
As the dust settled, the massive Dark Hand hand, each finger like a mountain, was raised back into the clouds. Several beams of red light shot from its palm, revealing the Mountain Saint Shanhe, whose flesh had been smashed and reassembled.
At this moment, Saint Shanhe was terrified. He realized that no matter how he tried to escape, he could not escape the grasp of the Dark Hand.
It seems that this is an independent space, and one cannot fly out.
" Town Guardian Qin, please save this old man! I'm willing to be your servant..."
Looking at Qin Jian in the distance, Saint Shanhe roared desperately, but Lin Yi couldn't hear anything at this moment.
What a joke! Even if he heard it, Lin Yi wouldn't help.
These huge hands are truly terrifying; they may have even surpassed the Martial Saint realm.
Finally, as the giant Dark Hand retreated into the clouds, the Saint Shanhe was also taken away, and it was unclear whether he was dead or alive.
Then Lin Yi returned to the place where the Black Giant Hand had landed. The Earth Veins were crushed, and countless mountains were leveled, leaving only an enormous palm print.
"This secret realm is truly terrifying..."
Lin Yi gasped, shaking his head in dismay, and was thankful that he had run faster.
At this moment, Lin Yi realized that Gu Tianxue was still on the summit of the Medicine Garden. He immediately returned the way he came to avoid Gu Tianxue being attacked by the Strange Spirit.
But not long after Lin Yi left, some Black Hand Ghost Spirit hands that resembled the shape of Black Giant Hand appeared in the sky.
These Black Hand Ghost Spirit were also the size of small mountains. After they condensed and emerged, they smoothed out the huge finger mark on the ground and then disappeared.
At dawn, Lin Yi led Gu Tianxue out of a Monster cave not far from the summit of the Medicine Garden Mountain.
Having witnessed the true terror of the Black Mountain secret realm, Lin Yi dared not camp in the open, lest a pair of giant hands fall from the sky and crush him to death while he slept.
"Let's go to that Mountain Ridge Blessed Land you mentioned first..."
After replenishing their Satiety, Lin Yi continued on their journey with Gu Tianxue.
As for last night's experience, Lin Yi told Gu Tianxue about the Black Giant Hand in the sky, but Gu Tianxue said she knew nothing about it.
Lin Yi also sighed slightly. The Wood Spirit Saint had never mentioned that there was such a terrifying Dark Hand force in this secret realm.
It seems that venturing deep into the heart of Black Mountain carries considerable risk.
Half a day later, with Gu Tianxue's ability to Qi Observation and Vein Seeking, Lin Yi Yicheng searched for another area in the eastern mountains that was full of spiritual Spirit Plant materials for the Martial Saint Pill.
This area was guarded by two Four-Star Monster. One of them was crushed to death by Lin Yi Lin Yi, who took the useful material from it. As for the other Four-Star Monster, it was a kind of Burrowing Mountain Rat. After seeing its companion die tragically, it abandoned its home and fled. Even Lin Yi couldn't catch up with it.
Afterwards, Lin Yi found an open space in the mountains and planned to stay there for half a day.
Why did you stop traveling?
Gu Tianxue was puzzled, but right now she couldn't wait to reach the true core of the Black Mountain's heritage.
Lin Yi glanced at her and said, "No rush. I was injured yesterday, so I'll rest for half a day first."
Gu Tianxue couldn't help but feel puzzled by this. Although the Fake Qin Jian had fought fiercely with the Saint Shanhe last night, he seemed to have suffered no injuries when he returned.
Perhaps this Fake Qin Jian has some special secret, which is why he has to stay in this place for half a day.
As expected, Gu Tianxue's guess was soon confirmed. The despicable Fake Qin Jian had set up a Camp for her in the forest and locked her up inside.
Through the gaps in the tent, Gu Tianxue seemed to see the Fake Qin Jian building a low brick structure in an open space, which looked like some kind of Incense Altar...
Just as Gu Tianxue was looking at the statue more closely and discovering the secret Lin Yi was trying to hide from her, her Golden Light Cloak suddenly climbed onto her shoulder and covered her eyes with half of the cloak.
"Little one, let me take another look..."
The Golden Light Cloak was speechless. Although it had a good feeling towards Gu Tianxue, it had not forgotten who its true master was.
This woman wants to pry into her master's secrets? Two words: Don't even think about it!
In the outside world, Lin Yi quickly gave the Wishing Incense Altar to the construction team.
After exploring the secret realm for two days, Lin Yi reaped considerable rewards. Right here in the mountains, he finally gathered the last ingredient for the Martial Saint Pill Blood Mystery Vine.
Now he plans to first extract his alchemy talent, and then immediately open the furnace to refine the Martial Saint Pill.
After what happened last night, Lin Yi has developed a fear of inadequacy. Perhaps only by becoming Martial Saint can he alleviate this ailment.
In fact, with Lin Yi's current accumulation of Origin Source Stone, he could definitely consider drawing Red Talent. However, this is a special secret realm after all, and who knows what kind of strange changes drawing Red Talent would bring.
If we were to summon that Dark Hand, bigger than a mountain, from last night, things would be very bad.
So Lin Yi about it for a while and decided to use a Golden Talent as a temporary measure, and then try to draw Red Talent after he got out.
As fifty Source Stone Source Stone fell onto the Wishing Incense Altar, they vanished into Void in an instant, carried away by a gentle breeze.
Seeing that his wish had come true, Lin Yi drew his talent for the day. As the Talent Dice continued to spin, the last one, a golden light, landed in front of Lin Yi.
[ Master Alchemist - Gold]: You will gain unparalleled alchemy talent, able to judge the quality and purity of pills at a glance, and effortlessly refine flawless pills... Furthermore, you can deduce the composition of pills based on the finished products of others, and reconstruct the alchemy steps and details...
After reading the talent description, Lin Yi nodded slightly. The talents of [ Master Alchemist ] and [ Master Craftsman ] are quite similar, and seem to be of the same type.
Currently, Li Family with the specific steps for refining the Martial Saint Pill, but we don't know what the success rate will be.
Lin Yi estimated that he currently had enough materials to refine three batches of Mature Martial Saint Pill.
If the failure rate is too high, it will probably take time to cultivate and nurture it; it cannot be done in just a few days.
If that's the case, then his plan to refine the Martial Saint Pill and attempt to break through to the Martial Saint level today can be considered a failure.
The main problem is the lack of Heart Source Grass.
Lin Yi currently only has one mature Heart Source Grass, which is the first one he discovered.
This Heart Source Grass can only be divided into three equal parts to refine three batches of Martial Saint Pill.
Therefore, one must not be careless in the process of alchemy and must be very careful.
Before preparing to refine the pill, Lin Yi first took out more than twenty kinds of precious Spirit Plant from the Martial Saint Pill, divided them into three portions according to his needs, and then took out a large piece of Purple Blood Ore.
As everyone knows, alchemy requires an alchemy furnace, and Lin Yi is no exception.
The reason he didn't prepare in advance was because Lin Yi was also a Master Craftsman; a mere alchemy furnace was just something he could easily handle.
Although Purple Blood Ore contains Purple Blood Iron, a Purple Grade Spirit Ore, it is very difficult to refine.
The large piece of Purple Blood Ore in Lin Yi's hand was dug out by his apprentice Tian Xiaoye and miners in the underground of Kongming Mountain after half a month. Although it could only be refined into Purple Blood Iron the size of a watermelon, it was more than enough for the small alchemy cauldron designed by Lin Yi.
As the Blazing Flame Fire in Lin Yi's dantian pulsed, a ball of purple flame shot out from Lin Yi's palm.
This is the Blazing Flame Fire Huo, and its temperature and power are equally considerable.
Under the tempering of the Blazing Flame Fire, a ball of purple high-temperature liquid continuously condensed. With a thought from Lin Yi, a delicate, small, and dignified alchemy cauldron was quickly formed.
Lin Yi then manipulated the surrounding Water Vapor to condense, quickly cooling down the alchemy cauldron.
After everything was ready, Lin Yi carefully studied the steps for refining the Martial Saint Pill that he had been given Li Family, then ignited a flame under the alchemy cauldron and officially began refining the Martial Saint Pill...
