Legend of Reborn Alchemist

In a dense forest.    

Zhu Ziqiao's face was pale. She held her chest and leaned against an ancient tree, breathing rapidly.    

The injuries on her body were actually not serious. Now that she was already a First Level Chakra Stage Cultivation Level and had purposely jumped off the cliff, she was naturally prepared. Therefore, the cliff that was only a few hundred meters high was not considered too high.    

The real serious injury was in her body.    

When she jumped off the cliff and fell, she used the weapon in her hand to stab into the cliff wall, slowing down her falling speed. However, when she was halfway down, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blow through her body. That gust of wind was strange and terrifying, almost instantly blowing away the elemental energy in her body.    

In that instant, it was as if her entire body's strength had been directly sucked away by someone. Her body went limp, and she fell head first onto the ground.    

Fortunately, she fell onto an ancient tree and slowed down her falling speed. Only then did she not die from the fall.    

But now that she thought about it, she still felt a lingering fear.    

"That gust of wind, could it be the Power Rule in this forbidden valley?" Zhu Ziqiao's pretty face turned pale, "It is really terrifying and strange."    

She had never seen such a strange force before. It was just a gust of wind. When the wind blew past her body, it actually caused all the elemental energy in her body to surge along with it. It was like sand that was swept up by a gale, directly blowing away her elemental energy.    

This was too terrifying!    

"No wonder those elders of Dongzhou College and even that shameless bastard from Myriad Sword Sect didn't want to come down. It turns out that the Boundless Forbidden Land is this terrifying. No wonder it's called a forbidden area!"    

Zhu Ziqiao recalled what that elder had said. There were countless dangers hidden in the Boundless Forbidden Land. She could not help but feel lucky that she had only encountered a strange gust of wind. If she had encountered a place where the void collapsed, perhaps she would have already fallen into the turbulent current of the void. She had disappeared from the Nine-prefecture Continent.    

After resting for a moment and recovering some of her strength, Zhu Ziqiao endured the pain and took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom. Her beautiful eyes revealed a gentle expression, "Little thief..."    

This porcelain bottle was left to her by Lin Cheng. Inside were two kinds of pill, Energy-returning Pill and Three-treasure Pill. Although the grade was not high, it was what she needed the most right now.    

Thinking of Lin Cheng, Zhu Ziqiao could not help but feel a little uncomfortable.    

Seeing that she had entered the Dongzhou College, but he had been heartlessly refused entry, while she had chosen the former between the Dongzhou College and him, how uncomfortable would that little thief be in his heart?    

"If I can survive this disaster and walk out of this place, I will never be separated from you again in my life." Zhu Ziqiao said to herself with a solemn expression.    

However, she quickly shook her head and sighed.    

These words, perhaps deceiving herself was one thing. The Boundless Forbidden Land was so dangerous. There were still people from the Dongzhou College guarding the cliff, and even the cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect. How could she walk out?    

"If there is a next life, I will not let you down!"    

Zhu Ziqiao whispered to herself, but her eyes were filled with determination.    

Then, she raised her head and swallowed the pill. With great difficulty, she crossed her legs and entered a state of cultivation.    

Zhu Ziqiao naturally knew that this was definitely not a good place to cultivate. Even if she wanted to cultivate, it was best to go to the crown of the tree. Just like when she and Lin Cheng came to Dongzhou College and slept in the wilderness. But now, she didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone go up to the ancient tree.    

She didn't have time to consider the other dangers. Right now, the most important thing was to recover her Yuan energy.    

"Bang!"    

Ardent Evil Palm struck out!    

A Cultivating Warrior was instantly sent flying backwards, crashing into a large tree before falling to the ground. Its eyes rolled back, and it fainted.    

After doing all of this, Lin Cheng brushed off the dust on his body. He took a few steps forward and picked up the Cultivating Warrior. He removed the man's joints and hung him on the tree.    

"It's already the fifth batch!"    

Lin Cheng shook his head and said to himself, "According to the student's instructions, there should be hundreds of people coming down from here. It looks like we need to put in more effort."    

He was intercepting the Dongzhou College students who had come down to collect the Blue Fire!    

Now that the fluctuations of the Blue Fire had clearly weakened, Lin Cheng knew that it had reached a stage where it was at its peak and it was at its weakest. He believed that it wouldn't take long for the Blue Fire to no longer be in such a berserk state. Instead, it would condense, condense, and transform into its original form.    

At that time, it would be the best time to collect the Blue Fire.    

However, the existence of these Dongzhou College students would severely affect his action of collecting the Blue Fire.    

Hence, Lin Cheng began to take action.    

During this period of time, he caught a few more students and learned about the arrangements of the Dongzhou College. The Dongzhou College arranged for the students to come down from the two ends of the explosion zone of the Blue Fire. On the other side, there were about a few hundred people.    

Not only did this news not make Lin Cheng nervous, but he also secretly let out a sigh of relief.    

One must know, it was said that there were tens of thousands of students in the Dongzhou College. Even if the Cultivating Warrior below the Chakra Stage did not come, and the students responsible for guarding the outer perimeter of Boundless Forest... Just the number of students entering the Boundless Valley alone was close to a few thousand. There were even tens of thousands of people.    

If the elders of the academy were to divide these thousands of people evenly to two ends... Then... Before the outbreak of the Blue Fire, Lin Cheng would have to face at least a few thousand enemies. And if he waited until the fight for the Blue Fire truly began, then what he would have to face... There were nearly ten thousand of them!    

If that was the case, no matter how familiar Lin Cheng was with the characteristics of the Blue Fire, he would not be able to obtain it so easily.    

But now, there were only a few hundred people who came down from the other side. The remaining people came down from the other side. There was a Blue Fire in the middle, and those people could not pass through. This gave Lin Cheng a buffer time and time to move around.    

"The cultivator of Myriad Sword Sect is no different from ordinary rogues and villains!"    

Thinking of the words of the student he had caught, Lin Cheng shook his head disdainfully. According to the student, the reason why so many people came down from another direction... The reason was because the cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect had taken a fancy to a female student and wanted that female student to be his personal maidservant. However, the female student fiercely resisted.    

The female student even angrily scolded the cultivator from the Myriad Sword Sect. Then, before the other party could grab her, she jumped into the deep valley.    

In order to quell the fury of the Myriad Sword Sect's cultivator, the elders of the academy sent a large number of students from that direction to the deep valley. On one hand, they wanted to collect the Blue Fire. On the other hand, they also wanted to search for that female student.    

"A personal maidservant is actually an exclusive property. Anyone below the Core Sea Stage is considered an ant. What you said is correct. "    

Lin Cheng coldly snorted, "In the eyes of these cultivators, we, these Cultivating Warriors, are all ants that can be bullied at will. However, when they face a stronger cultivator, they are also regarded as ants. The strong prey on the weak!"    

Lin Cheng did not have a good impression of this kind of cultivator that bullied the weak. In his previous life, Zuo Mu and Ann Ya dared to openly snatch his Purification Divine Pill, wasn't it because they bullied the weak?    

"I want to become stronger. I won't let others knead me as they wish, and I won't be at the mercy of others!"    

Lin Cheng's gaze was firm. "My strength will start from seizing the Blue Fire!"    

Lin Cheng sympathized with the female student who was forced to be maidservant's personal bodyguard, but he could not change it. He could only try his best to control his own fate.    

"Whoosh!"    

In front of him, the violent tongue of flame beat violently a few times, and then began to weaken.    

Lin Cheng's spirit was roused. Soon, the frenzied period of the Blue Fire was about to pass.    

At this moment, a few figures appeared in Lin Cheng's sight from afar. He frowned and quietly moved closer again.    

"Senior Sister Le, why are there no traces of those senior brothers and sisters along the way?" A slightly nervous voice sounded, "Didn't you say that there are many wild beasts in this deep valley, and there are even Demonic Beasts? Why... Why is it so quiet?"    

"This place is already close to the range of the Blue Fires. Since this Heaven-earth Genuine Fire is so terrifying, those wild beasts and Demonic Beast naturally wouldn't dare to get close to it. They must have hidden far away a long time ago."    

A woman's voice sounded, "As for the people in front of us, they might have already entered the range of the Blue Fires and gone to collect it."    

"Senior Sister Le, you said that using Origin Energy to control the Blue Fire, is this possible?" Another person asked, "I can already feel the heat of the Blue Fire here. If I were to come into close contact with the Blue Fire, if I can't control it, wouldn't I be burnt to ashes?"    

Senior Sister Le said, "So you have to be careful. Don't force yourself... Who is it?"    

Following Senior Sister Le's delicate cry, she instantly pulled out her weapon. The others were suddenly shocked, but before they could react, they saw a figure already close in and attack.    

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"    

The Ardent Evil Palm that contained surging Yuan Power instantly knocked out the few people behind. At the same time, the Seven-star Cloud-stepping Step under Lin Cheng's feet was unleashed. It was the fiercest palm strike. It was aimed at Senior Sister Le. The Yuan energy on her body fluctuated. She was the strongest among them, so Lin Cheng attacked her with all his strength.    

However, when he reached the front of the girl, he was suddenly stunned, "Senior Sister Le?"    

Senior Sister Le, who was about to counterattack, was also stunned when she heard this. When she saw who it was, she immediately cried out, "Lin Cheng?! You, why are you here?"    

Le Xuannian's pretty face had an unconcealable shock. She really did not expect to meet Lin Cheng here.    

Although Lin Cheng was surprised, he was not too surprised. Since Le Xuannian was a student of Dongzhou College and a Chakra Stage warrior, it was normal for her to appear here.    

"Senior Sister Le, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was you. I thought..." Lin Cheng said vaguely, "Since it is Senior Sister Le, I will leave now."    

He turned around and was about to leave.    

Although he and Le Xuannian did not have much of a relationship, in the Dongzhou College, Le Xuannian repeatedly reminded him to be careful that Shui Hui would harm him and Lin Cheng would accept her kindness.    

"Lin Cheng, wait!"    

Le Xuannian suddenly called Lin Cheng and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did you... see Zhu Ziqiao?"
