524. Soul Technique （2）

However, he couldn't sense the cultivation levels of many people in this hall. He had no idea how many Martial Sages were present.

When Qu Kun's gaze swept around, Ling Chuan sat calmly among the group from Alchemy Valley. Seeing Qu Kun's gaze, Ling Chuan smiled slightly, which made Qu Kun's face turn ugly.

"Alright, since everyone is here, let's begin," said Mo Lixuan, Elder Taishang of Alchemy Tower, as he opened his eyes.

Bai Chenxing and others gathered together and the five map fragments were pieced together.

As the map fragments converged, a colorful light soared into the sky. The sky was filled with flowing lights, golden dragons, phoenixes, and qilin shadows passing by.

...

A massive palace emerged from the sea.

Each of the five map fragments carried five person into the secret realm.

After the twenty-five individuals entered the secret realm, it sank back into the sea.

Watching the secret realm disappear, a group of onlookers emerged.

"They have all left!"

"The Tianji Inheritance is only open to the younger generation, but the Alchemy Palace's inheritance is for everyone. However, the spots are too few."

"I wonder what's inside the secret realm."

"The secret realm left behind by the Alchemy Palace must have extremely high-level alchemy inheritances. Those who entered are truly fortunate."

"That's true."

"What's Bai Chenxing thinking? The only alchemist he brought in is Mu Chen. His cousin, Bai Chengfeng, is understandable. But his son and his father-in-law? They can be a burden. Is he taking his whole family on a vacation? And Bai Yanxing is pregnant, yet he still brought him along. How can Bai Chenxing be so wasteful with the spots?" one cultivator said in a peculiar manner.

"I wonder whom the Alchemy Tower brought. There were several people I have never seen," another cultivator added.

...

As soon as they entered the secret realm of Alchemy Palace, a rich scent of medicinal herbs wafted through the air.

Ye Shi took a deep breath and couldn't help but exclaim, "It smells so good."

Bai Chenxing smiled and said, "Alchemy Palace used to be the holy land of alchemy in Zhongzhou. Legend has it that millions of years ago, there were as many level-eight alchemists in Alchemy Palace as there are now level-seven alchemists. Back then, there were even level-ten alchemists who could refine divine pills."

Ye Shi blinked and muttered, "Level-ten alchemists? There were even level-ten alchemists?"

Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "Yes! But those are all ancient tales. Now, it is difficult to find alchemists even at the advanced level of level eight."

Mu Chen scanned with his soul power and found that the five map fragments were being teleported to different locations. He couldn't sense other people.

Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen and asked, "Mu Chen, where are we going now?"

Mu Chen released his massive soul power and scanned around, discovering a row of stone steles.

"Soul techniques," Mu Chen mumbled.

"Where can we find those?" Bai Chenxing asked.

In order to become a level-nine alchemist, one must master a soul technique. It was said that when refining level-nine pills, this technique would definitely be used. Their main goal in entering Alchemy Palace this time was to help Mu Chen's alchemy reach the late stage of level eight. Only when Mu Chen's alchemy reached the late stage of level eight would there be hope to awaken Qu Xinyang.

"Over there," Mu Chen pointed to the east.

Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "Let's go."

"Alright," Mu Chen agreed.

Mu Chen and the others quickly arrived at the location of the stone steles. In the forest of stone steles, there were a total of twelve, each one recording a different soul technique.

Except for Mu Chen, the others couldn't understand them very well.

Bai Chenxing frowned, suddenly feeling that he had overlooked something. Besides them, the other three forces that had entered had a high proportion of alchemists. Many things in Alchemy Palace were only useful for alchemists, such as these soul techniques. They could only comprehend them and couldn't record them. Although they were good things, they were of no use to them.

However, this was not a big deal. Since Mu Chen was here, it wouldn't make much sense even if he brought a few level seven alchemists with him.

"Go ahead," Bai Chenxing said to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen nodded and responded, "Okay."

Bai Chengfeng crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then said, "The process of comprehending soul techniques can cause serious injuries if interrupted. We'll stay here to guard."

Upon hearing Bai Chengfeng's words, Ye Shi's eyes widened and he nodded in agreement.

Mu Chen stood in front of the stone stele, and his mind immediately sank into it.

"Father, are soul techniques very powerful?" Ye Shi asked.

Bai Chenxing nodded and said, "They are very powerful. Powerful alchemists in ancient times all mastered soul techniques. Soul attacks can penetrate defenses and are impossible to defend against."

"It is said that level eight alchemists can kill level eight monster beasts in an instant with their soul power. However, soul techniques are mostly lost now. If it weren't for this, the status of alchemists would be even higher. Actually, it's a good thing that most soul techniques have been lost, otherwise, alchemists would rule the world."

Ye Shi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but be in awe of the information he was hearing.
