Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

This is the ruins of a palace, dilapidated. What's even more strange is that at this moment, Yang Ling's mind actually rang with the long-lost system voice.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for arriving at the Lost Land. Please go to the depths of the Lost Land, where mysterious treasures will be waiting for you. But please be aware that there are many dangers hidden there, so please be careful!"

After the system gave a brief explanation, it fell silent again.

Yang Ling couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that the long-silent system would be back online at this time. Moreover, it was not here to issue tasks, but to remind him to pay attention to danger. Is the place he is in now really full of dangers?
Since the system had spoken, Yang Ling naturally did not dare to be careless. He walked cautiously towards the depths of the palace. When he reached the center of the palace, a terrifying pressure suddenly spread, causing his heart to tremble.

"Ding, please pay attention, the Tomb of God has been opened. Now I will distribute the task package to you, would you like to check it out?"

Hearing the system's voice, Yang Ling couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

Tomb of God? Could it be that this palace is actually a mausoleum? Moreover, it is a mausoleum of God? In other words, the gods are buried here?

Yang Ling knew that he might not be able to escape this crisis this time. Since he couldn't escape it, he could only face it bravely. After all, the path of cultivating immortals was to go against the will of heaven.

So he said to the system: "Check!"

As Yang Ling finished speaking, a short knife suddenly appeared in his hand. The short knife emitted a dazzling black light, which made Yang Ling's eyes narrow.

"This dagger is called the Blade of Demonic Flame. It is a magic weapon bestowed by the Lord God. It is of the sixth grade of the Earth Rank, and can increase the host's attack power by a hundred times. Additional skill one: Pierce the soul! Effect: It can make the enemy stay in place for three seconds and lose combat effectiveness for ten seconds. Additional skill two: Dance of Illusion! Effect: It can form an illusion and resist one fatal damage!"

The two skill introductions of the Demon Flame Blade emerged in Yang Ling's mind.

After understanding, his expression changed slightly. Looking at the dagger in his hand, Yang Ling's eyes flashed with excitement. He didn't expect that the system would give him such a powerful weapon.

With the blessing of these two skills, my combat power will definitely increase dramatically. At the same time, the skill of the Demon Flame Blade can also enhance my offensiveness.

At this moment, Yang Ling, holding the dagger, showed excitement on his face, because he felt that his cultivation was slowly recovering.

Although the speed was not fast, at least one third of it had been restored. This was enough to prove the power of the Demon Flame Blade.

Yang Ling finally recovered some of his fighting strength, and he decided to continue exploring deeper into the palace.

However, as he went deeper and deeper, his brows furrowed more and more. He did not find any traces of treasure or magic treasure along the way, but only ruins and collapsed buildings, which were already rusted and looked dilapidated.

"Tramp!" The heavy footsteps echoed in the empty palace, revealing Yang Ling's bad mood at the moment.

But since the system called this place the Tomb of God and hinted at the existence of opportunities, he decided to move on for the mysterious treasure.

When he reached the deepest part of the palace, the scene before him made his pupils shrink suddenly.

A statue of a woman stood before him. Although her face was young and beautiful, she exuded an aura of majesty that made people dare not look directly at her.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a brilliant golden light shot out from the eyes of the statue, instantly piercing Yang Ling's chest. He felt a sharp pain, staggered, and fell directly to the ground. He struggled to get up and escape, but the injury on his chest was too severe, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Yang Ling's ears again: "Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: Resurrection of the Statue. The quest requires you to go to the Forest of Eternal Life to collect the Fountain of Life and bring it back to the Resurrection Statue. After the statue is resurrected, the host will be rewarded with a Fortune Pill. If the quest fails, your cultivation will be reduced to the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard what the system said. He didn't expect that there would be a punishment for the task of resurrecting the statue.

But at the moment, he is seriously injured. If he is not treated in time, his life may be in danger.

So he hurriedly shouted: "System, please help me heal my wounds first, and where is the Forest of Eternal Life?" There was a hint of anxiety in his voice.

The system quickly responded: "Host, you just need to follow the instructions and you will find the Forest of Eternal Life." Upon hearing this, Yang Ling hurriedly asked: "Where are the healing medicines? I can't go on the mission while injured, right?" His face was pale now, and it was obvious that he couldn't hold on for too long.

The system seemed to sense his urgency and spoke again: "Ding, confirmed that the host is seriously injured, start emergency treatment immediately."

After a while, Yang Ling felt that his injuries were recovering rapidly, and he felt a little comforted.

After his injuries stabilized, Yang Ling prepared to go to the Forest of Eternal Life. The system reminded him again: "The Forest of Eternal Life is within 500 meters from here, but you need to climb over a mountain and pass through the teleportation array to enter." After that, the system fell silent.

Yang Ling nodded and was about to set off when suddenly, a deafening roar of an animal came from the distance of the palace.

Then, a black shadow came running towards him at an extremely fast speed. With every step he took, the air seemed to be squeezed, making Yang Ling feel a huge sense of oppression.

He knew that this ferocious beast was no pushover, so he quickly circulated his spiritual power and prepared to deal with it.

When the ferocious beast was only a few feet away from him, it finally stopped.

Yang Ling took a closer look and saw that the beast was huge, like a tiger, with bloodthirsty light flashing in its scarlet eyes, a pair of extremely sharp fangs, and the mane on its body stood up like steel needles.

The most surprising thing is that there is a scale on its neck, which clearly shows that this is a ferocious beast with dragon characteristics.

"Awoo!" The beast roared to the sky, and in an instant, a strong wind swept over, making Yang Ling almost unable to stand steadily. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "You evil beast is looking for death!" As soon as he finished speaking, he punched out. A light green mist appeared on his body, and it was obvious that he wanted to test the strength of the beast first.

"Bang!" The huge force hit the beast's forehead hard, and a trace of blood instantly spurted out from the beast's forehead.

However, Yang Ling did not relax his vigilance, but became more cautious. He knew that his injuries had not yet fully healed, and if he was attacked again, the consequences would be disastrous.

After being hit, the beast did not fall down. Instead, it jumped up again and pounced towards Yang Ling.

Yang Ling clenched the blade in his hand, ready to attack, and pounced on the beast again. "Bang bang!" The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Yang Ling attacked with all his might, forcing the beast to retreat step by step.

He was slightly pleased with himself, but before he could be happy for long, the beast stood up again, with the ferocious look in its eyes becoming even more intense.

This was a dangerous signal, which chilled Yang Ling's heart. But he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to fight.

"Bang!" The violent collision caused blood to flow out of the corner of Yang Ling's mouth, and the ferocious beast involuntarily took a step back.

Neither side gained any advantage and the situation became a stalemate.

At this moment, the beast's eyes were red, and it looked at Yang Ling in front of it and roared.

"Yeah!" Yang Ling, who heard the voice, was unwilling to waste any more time.

He simply took out the pill he had made that could heal his injuries and swallowed it.

The beast seemed to sense the change in Yang Ling's aura, and a hint of fear appeared in its eyes. It felt that Yang Ling seemed to have become even more powerful.

Seeing the beast about to leave, Yang Ling smiled. How could he give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

He knew that he was now absolutely capable of taking the beast's life, so he swung his arm and thrust the sharp blade with spiritual power straight at the beast's throat.

If this blow lands on the ferocious beast, it will surely die.

"Bang!" However, the beast's reaction was also very fast, and it successfully dodged the attack. But Yang Ling did not give up, and a new attack followed.

The beast had no time to dodge, and could only resist. Although it blocked the fatal part, it was also blasted away.

"Puff!" Blood spurted out and the ferocious beast flew backwards.

In just a blink of an eye, Yang Ling had already rushed close to the ferocious beast and punched it.

"Swish!" The ferocious beast was blown away, and panic appeared in its eyes.

But it was too late. Yang Ling's figure flashed, and he rushed forward, piercing the beast's chest with his sword. "Crack!" The sound of bone cracking was heard, and the beast died instantly.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling's face showed joy. After he put the beast's body into the mustard seed space, he prepared to go to the Forest of Eternal Life to find the Fountain of Life mentioned by the system. As long as he found the Fountain of Life, he could revive the statue and gain a Good Fortune Pill.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling did not dare to be negligent. After determining the direction, he quickly headed towards the location of the Forest of Eternal Life.

However, just after he left, a hissing sound was heard.

Around him, a python more than two feet long swam slowly. The python was green and shiny, like it was made of crystal, gleaming with dazzling luster. But on its forehead, there were two tumors, giving off a metallic texture, which looked very scary.

The python looked up at Yang Ling's back and only continued to follow him after he disappeared. Obviously, it had already set its sights on Yang Ling, its prey.

In the area outside the Forest of Eternal Life, Yang Ling kept shuttling back and forth, just wanting to find the Fountain of Life as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, a fierce aura came out, causing Yang Ling to frown. He suddenly had a bad premonition, feeling as if he was being stared at by something.

As he searched around, the python had already spit out its scarlet tongue and appeared not far from him.

The next moment, it actually devoured Yang Ling. The sudden appearance of the python made Yang Ling's pupils shrink, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

He had never thought that he would encounter such a powerful being. But at this moment, he also understood that he was in danger and had to do his best to deal with it.

Yang Ling felt helpless and could only choose to withdraw. He secretly felt lucky that as long as he didn't encounter the legendary super-ferocious beast, there was still a glimmer of hope. However, the python seemed to have identified him and chased him relentlessly.

Relying on his agility, Yang Ling dodged left and right in the woods, trying to get rid of this annoying pursuit.

The python seemed unusually persistent, moving violently between the trees, with leaves and grass flying everywhere every time it appeared.

Once, Yang Ling was nearly swallowed by that bloody mouth. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Swoosh!" Yang Ling's figure was as erratic as a ghost, but the python's entanglement followed him like a shadow, making him very annoyed. He knew very well that if he didn't get rid of the python, he would never be able to step into the Forest of Eternal Life.

So, Yang Ling shouted angrily, clenched the sharp blade in his hand, and rushed towards the python resolutely. The python was not to be outdone, and swept its huge tail across, colliding with Yang Ling's sharp blade, making a light "hiss" sound. However, the python seemed to be unharmed and still pounced on Yang Ling fiercely.

"Bang!" The two collided again, and Yang Ling was thrown out like a leaf blown by the wind, with blood dripping from his mouth and nose, looking extremely embarrassed. He knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely die here.

The bloodthirstiness in the python's eyes became stronger, and it swung its tail again, launching a fatal attack on Yang Ling. Yang Ling quickly raised his sharp blade to defend himself. With a loud "bang", the two collided instantly. The scales on the python's tail shattered, and Yang Ling's knuckles also bleed.

However, Yang Ling didn't care about that, and the sharp blade in his hand slashed at the python like lightning. To his surprise, the python's head was split in two by the blade, and its huge body fell to the ground. Yang Ling stared at the blade in his hand, secretly amazed: This weapon sent by the system is so powerful? Or did I just happen to stimulate its potential power?

After Yang Ling put the python's body into the mustard seed space, he followed the system map and came to the vicinity of the Forest of Eternal Life. However, facing the trees that were similar in appearance, he was confused: Where is this teleportation array hidden? Is it a tree hole, a stone cave, or does it require specific conditions to activate?
Just when he was at a loss, the system prompted again: "Ding, abnormal energy fluctuations detected, please be mentally prepared." Yang Ling was delighted. The system finally did not let him down. Although he did not know the specific reason, it at least provided him with a clue.

He slowly moved forward along the direction of the energy fluctuations and finally found the source of the abnormal energy. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, his face showed a solemn expression. It turned out that this was actually a valley with towering mountains all around. The strange thing was that there were no trees here, only a lonely stone house standing in it. (End of this chapter)
