Legend of Reborn Alchemist

0Because the Horse-chopping Knife was too long, Lin Cheng took it off his back and handed it to Zhou Chuan, "Elder Brother Zhou, please take care of it for me."    

    

Seeing Lin Cheng give the Horse-chopping Knife to him, Zhou Chuan was slightly stunned for a moment, then a smile bloomed on his face. "Younger brother, don't worry. This Horse-chopping Knife in my hands won't even touch a speck of dust!"    

    

In his heart, he was extremely happy that Lin Cheng could give him his weapon for safekeeping. This meant that Lin Cheng trusted him very much. He realized this. Previously, Lin Cheng had summoned up the courage to speak up for Lin Cheng. Obviously, Lin Cheng owed him a lot of favors.    

    

"Pill Master Lin, junior brothers, you must be careful." Tai Wenxing reminded again.    

    

The three of them nodded and each chose a tree. They jumped up one after another, and like nimble monkeys, they quickly climbed up the tree.    

    

Zhu Ziqiao also followed closely behind. She would not go to the top of the tree and would meet Lin Cheng in the middle.    

    

The trees in the forest all had a very obvious characteristic. Although there were vines wrapped around the tree trunk, however, there were not many branches and vines. Instead, they were very smooth. Therefore, there were almost no obstacles along the way. Lin Cheng easily arrived at the treetop.    

    

As soon as he arrived, Lin Cheng became alert because the treetop was just too lush. The smallest leaf was bigger than an adult's palm, and the branches were extremely thick. It was almost as big as some trees that had been in the outside world for decades.    

    

On such a lush treetop, not only was Lin Cheng's vision affected, but his movements were also not as smooth as on the ground. He held a short knife in his right hand and climbed up the branches with his left hand steadily.    

    

The towering tree was like a towering High Tower. It took Lin Cheng nearly an hour to reach the top of the treetop.    

    

He stood on a branch at the top of the tree and cut off the leaf that blocked his vision with his knife. After that, he stood up straight.    

    

When Lin Cheng finally stood at the top of the tree, his field of vision became incomparably wide. At this moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and reveal a shocked expression.    

    

In Lin Cheng's field of vision, there was an endless forest. What shocked him was the horizon that connected with the forest in the distance.    

    

There was no sun or moon, only a gray and chaotic world!    

    

Lin Cheng was shocked to find that the sky in this mystic realm did not have the sun, moon, and stars of the outside world. The entire sky seemed to be covered in a layer of gray clouds.    

    

These gray clouds emitted a very weak light, like a passageway to another world. Within the range of Lin Cheng's vision, the sky did not change at all.    

    

At this moment, Lin Cheng finally understood why the light in the forest did not change. This was because there were no sun, moon, and stars in this secret realm, so there was no day and night difference!    

    

Lin Cheng's eyes swept across and suddenly became alert. At the end of his line of sight, there was a mountain that was even taller than a big tree, looking from afar. The mountain was bare and completely formed by a kind of grayish-white stone. It also faintly emitted a kind of inexplicable pressure.    

    

Lin Cheng carefully looked at the mountain for a while. He didn't find anything alive, so he turned his eyes away and looked somewhere else.    

    

Suddenly, above the forest in the distance, a huge bird suddenly flew up from the forest below. The bird was huge, but from afar, it was half the size of a tree crown.    

    

Lin Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he squatted down. He knew that the bird's eyes were extremely sharp. It could see very far, and in its line of sight, it was such a huge bird. Without a doubt, it was a fierce bird of prey, and it only looked at the two huge claws. He knew that this bird was definitely a terrifying existence.    

    

After a long while, he stood up again. There was no longer that huge bird in his line of sight. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He looked around once again, but he did not find anything special.    

    

When Lin Cheng came down from the tree, Tai Wenxing immediately asked, "Pill Master Lin, what did you see?"    

    

Lin Cheng told everyone what he saw. Everyone's face was filled with shock.    

    

A huge bird that was half the size of a tree's crown was obviously a huge threat, and that boundless forest meant that no one knew how long it would take for them to walk out of it.    

    

"Pill Master Lin, are you sure that's a desolate mountain?" Tai Wenxing asked.    

    

"It's too far away, so I can't see it clearly. But I can be sure that the side I saw... The mountain is grayish-white, and there are no plants on it... I didn't see any living creatures either. Even if there were, they definitely wouldn't be too big of a beast. " Lin Cheng said.    

    

Tai Wenxing nodded thoughtfully. Just as he was about to say something, the other two Cultivating Warrior who had gone to investigate also came down. He immediately went forward to inquire about it. In the end, the situation that the two of them talked about was almost the same as what Lin Cheng had said.    

    

"It seems like the only thing worth investigating right now is that desolate mountain." Tai Wenxing pondered for a moment and said, "A desolate mountain that is even taller than a forest. If I can climb it, I will at least be able to see it more clearly than standing on top of a tree."    

    

He paused for a moment and then said, "Pill Master Lin, I think we should head towards that desolate mountain. What do you think?"    

    

Lin Cheng nodded and said, "I have no objections."    

    

Tai Wenxing smiled and said, "Alright. We will head towards that desolate mountain. Everyone, there might be a lot of danger along the way. We must be on our guard."    

    

There were no more green leaves in the vicinity. Not only did they have to face the ferocious beasts that might come from the surrounding forest, but they also had to be on guard against the threat that came from above.    

    

Especially when they saw the incomparably huge ferocious beast, it made their hearts heavy.    

    

A bird of prey that was half the size of a tree crown, one could imagine how terrifying it was. It was afraid that even a feather of that bird of prey was longer than the weapon in everyone's hands!    

    

Therefore, everyone became alert and moved forward carefully.    

    

As a result, the speed at which they travelled became much slower. However, what was strange was that on the following journey... At most, they encountered some beasts that weren't too strong. As for the dangerous beasts, they didn't encounter a single one.    

    

However, Lin Cheng noticed that the trees in the forest seemed to have become shorter the further they went.    

    

Originally, Lin Cheng thought that this was because the areas of different types of plants were different, and the height of the plants were different. The trees in front might not be as tall as the green leaves.    

    

However, as time passed, Lin Cheng gradually found out. The trees in front of him seemed to be getting shorter and shorter. The green leaves that he had encountered earlier... He could not even see the crown of the tree when he raised his head. He could only see the towering tree trunk. However, the trees here could be seen when they raised their heads. The tallest tree looked to be at most thirty to forty meters tall.    

    

He had seen some of the trees a few hours ago, but they were much taller than the trees here. Judging from the mottled marks on the bark, the trees in both areas seemed to be of the same age.    

    

Lin Cheng realized that this was not because of the different types of trees. It must be because something nearby affected the growth of the trees here.    

    

Lin Cheng suddenly thought that this place should not be far from the barren mountain he saw. In such a dense forest, there was actually a desolate mountain. This was already very strange. Now, he looked at the surrounding trees. Lin Cheng couldn't help guessing if there was something on that barren mountain. It prevented the trees from growing?    

    

"Not even trees can grow on that desolate mountain. Could it be a dangerous place?"    

    

Lin Cheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. This was a battlefield between two ancient mighty figures and the Extraterrestrial Evil Devil. There must be a lot of strange things that couldn't be estimated in this place.    

    

In fact, it was very likely that the desolate mountain was created by the ancient mighty figures or the Extraterrestrial Evil Devil.    

    

If that was the case, the area where the desolate mountain was located might have been destroyed by the fierce attack of the Extraterrestrial Evil Devil. That was the reason why the desolate mountain was formed.    

    

"If that place really is a dangerous place, then we really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for everyone to head there." Lin Cheng frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say to himself.    

    

"Brother Lin, did you discover something?" Zhou Chuan, who was walking not far away, suddenly asked.    

    

Lin Cheng shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything. I just saw that the surrounding forest was getting shorter and shorter. I just felt a little strange."    

    

Zhou Chuan's expression changed slightly. "Brother, you really noticed it too!"    

0

    

When Lin Cheng heard this, he knew that Zhou Chuan also noticed the changes in the surrounding forest. He could not help but ask, "Elder Brother Zhou, several big sects have sent people here before. Could it be that they don't know anything about the situation in the secret realm?"    

    

Zhou Chuan was slightly stunned, then he shook his head and said, "I really don't know about that. At least, according to what I know... There shouldn't be much information. After the cultivator came in... They've all been greatly suppressed, and they've suffered heavy losses. As for the few Cultivating Warriors that entered, they were almost completely wiped out. They didn't bring back much useful information. "    

    

"Then, is there any secret records regarding this mystic realm?" Lin Cheng asked.    

    

"Brother, although my sister is an inner circle disciple of Unification Sect, I'm not one of them. I'm just a Mortal Pill Master. Even if there are some secrets, it's not something that I can know."    

    

Zhou Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of ancient record might be related to some secrets. It might even involve some secret treasures and the whereabouts of some ancient inheritances. This was classified information in any sect. How can it be casually revealed to an outsider? "    

    

Lin Cheng smiled and nodded. "That's true."    

    

Some ancient battlefields were very likely places where legendary secret treasures were left behind.    

    

Take Boundless Forest, for example. It was the Prefecture Boundary between the Dongzhou and the Endless Eastern Sea Region. It was also the ancient battlefield. The mighty ancient mighty figure had once engaged in a fierce battle with the Extraterrestrial Evil Devil. The battle had caused the heavens to collapse and the earth to collapse. Even a portion of that mighty figure's secret treasure had been left behind in the Boundless Forest.    

    

And the secret treasure that was left behind was the Blue Fire!    

    

It wasn't difficult to understand why some secret realms, ancient battlefields, and even some forbidden areas would attract so much attention once they were revealed, and even cause a crazy competition.    

    

"If that's the case, then if this secret realm that we're in... If it is really an ancient battlefield, there must be some secret treasures left behind by the ancient times here. Or some inheritance? " An alchemist nearby heard the conversation between the two of them and his eyes involuntarily lit up. He asked.
