Chapter 349: Chapter 348: Breath Soil Sand

"The Spiritual Artifact Furnace can generate its own Spiritual Fire and improve the quality of elixirs. If you have any Five Elements Spiritual Items, you can trade with me."

Zhong Lin watched for a while before throwing out the Spiritual Artifact Furnace he had discarded, hoping to exchange it for some Five Elements Spiritual Items.

Pill Masters are already rare, let alone one with a Spiritual Artifact level furnace. Sure enough, as Zhong Lin threw it out, it instantly attracted a lot of attention.

A moment later, an elderly voice came from one of the private rooms.

"I have some Breathing Earth Sand. Can it be exchanged?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lin’s eyes lit up. Breathing Earth is a kind of Earth Attribute spiritual item from heaven and earth, said to be used by ancient great gods to control floods. A single grain of Breathing Earth can transform into a great mountain, blocking the surging floods.

The so-called Breathing Earth Sand consists of some dust from Breathing Earth. Although it can’t compare to true Breathing Earth, it’s still a rare treasure, more than enough to reforge the Donghuang Bell.

"Deal." Zhong Lin said joyfully.

The two did not exchange items directly; a maid ran back and forth to handle it.

Before long, a jade plate appeared in front of Zhong Lin, with a small pile of earthy yellow crystal sand lying on it. It didn’t seem to have any intense Earth Element Essence Qi, but a sweep with Divine Thought would reveal its aura as vast as a towering giant mountain.

"It’s a pity it’s not the legendary Breathing Earth. If it could be merged with a Lifebound Weapon, it would establish an unbreakable connection with the earth, allowing not only the use of earth’s power for attacks but also redirecting others’ attacks into the ground, securing an undefeated position." Long Zhao lamented, looking at the pile of Breathing Earth Sand.

Zhong Lin ignored Long Zhao’s outcry. If it were really Breathing Earth, not even selling himself could afford it.

"The body of the Donghuang is cast from Geng Metal, aligned with Gold Element. The silkworm silk from the Fire Silkworm is aligned with Fire Element. Last time at the Heaven Pavilion, I acquired the Earth Vein Jade Water and Dragon Sparrow Wood. Now I’ve found the Breathing Earth Sand, finally gathering all Five Elements."

"The legendary Donghuang Bell masters Yin Yang and contains time and space, which I naturally don’t have, but I can try with the basic Five Elements. Coupled with my cultivation of the ’Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill,’ its power will surely increase significantly."

Zhong Lin’s face was full of joy, filled with anticipation for the future of the Donghuang Bell.

After that, Zhong Lin watched the trading event for a while longer, making some transactions here and there, but nothing too revealing, buying some Spiritual Medicine before leaving.

...

Half a year later.

Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes.

"System."

Skill: Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill (Full Level), Great Cycle Ten Thousand Dragon Sutra (Full Level)...

Skill: Flower Walk (Full Level), Sword Technique (Full Level), Sunset Sword Technique (Full Level)...

Misc: Alchemy: Seventh Grade Elixir (Full Level)...

Skill Points: ∞

The System Panel hadn’t changed much, except the Sixth Grade had quietly turned into Seventh Grade in the Alchemy section.

In the past six months, besides going into seclusion to reforge the Donghuang Bell, Zhong Lin opened the furnace to refine the Void Spirit Enlightenment Pill.

With the help of the System Panel, it was naturally achieved with ease, and Zhong Lin was promoted to Seventh Grade Alchemist.

A Seventh Grade Alchemist, especially one who specializes in refining the Void Spirit Enlightenment Pill, would be sought after by even the Imperial Family of the Heavenly Sea Country.

In the entire Qingyuan World, anything beneficial to cultivation is highly sought after, and among them, elixirs are the most coveted.

The Void Spirit Enlightenment Pill, once consumed, allows the user to enter a state of enlightenment, gaining profound insights on the path of cultivation.

This elixir is an unparalleled Spirit Pill for cultivating Martial Arts, understanding Secret Techniques, with each pill being a priceless treasure.

Closing the System Panel, Zhong Lin slowly stood up, stepped out of the room.

"Senior brother."

Long Zhao had long been waiting outside, clad in a black robe, his expression solemn, and his aura controlled to its peak, yet unable to conceal his excitement.

"Let’s go!"

No more lingering, they soared into the sky towards the Great Ocean Peak, where the Xuanling Secret Realm was located.

In the void, it wasn’t just the two of them; figures came from all directions, but all heading in the same direction.

With the Xuanling Secret Realm about to open, the entire Heavenly Sea Country was already in an uproar. Countless Martial Artists moved at the news; Zhong Lin and Long Zhao were just among them.

When Zhong Lin arrived at the Great Ocean Peak range, he saw a large number of powerful Martial Artists turning into streaks of divine light, and some major forces riding precious Flying Boats or mounting formidable Demon Beasts standing in the firmament, awaiting the opening of the Secret Realm, even powerful Martial Artists from outside the Heavenly Sea Country had appeared.

"Wow! So many people."

Such a scene left Long Zhao extremely shocked, and even Zhong Lin found it hard to stay calm, his eyes fixed curiously on the Flying Boats above, wondering how they were crafted.

Of course, there was also the vast and boundless aura emanating from the Flying Boats, akin to heaven and earth.

Zhong Lin had encountered Xuandan Realm Martial Artists before, but they couldn’t possibly possess such a vast aura, so undoubtedly, there were Martial Artists of even greater realms inside.

Yin Yang Realm, perhaps even... Life and Death Realm.

It’s said that those in the Life and Death Realm have comprehended the profound secrets of life and death, living for three thousand years, true immortals, witnessing the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry fields, their every gesture capable of destroying heaven and earth, unmatched by anyone.

Taking a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil.

Zhong Lin found a spot, sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the Xuanling Secret Realm to open.

Days later, the southern side of the Great Ocean Peak was suddenly enveloped in dense white fog.

The mist was incredibly thick, covering a vast area, with even the river surface shrouded in dense gray fog, evidently very eerie.

At the center of this extensive gray fog area, a gigantic gray vortex was swirling, with a massive black entrance at its center. Thick black fog seeped out from it, exuding a cold aura, and no one knew where this black entrance led.

"The Secret Realm gate has opened, quickly."

"Move aside, don’t block the way."

"Hahaha, this time I must seize the opportunity, to condense a Xuandan and become a Xuandan Martial Artist."

"Master, I will not disappoint you."

"Junior sister, wait for me, I’ll marry you when I return."

"Second brother, we will definitely come back alive."

As the Secret Realm gate opened, the Martial Artists surged in frantically, fearing they’d miss the timing.

Zhong Lin also turned to Long Zhao and said, "The Xuanling Secret Realm is of very high grade, even Xuandan Realm Martial Artists can enter and exit. Even though you hold the Mystic Sky Stick, you must not be careless. Once inside, watch for my marks, and regroup with me quickly."

"Rest assured, senior brother, the Sea Suppressing Sect hasn’t been rebuilt yet, and I highly value my life. You be careful too." Long Zhao nodded heavily.

"Let’s go!"

They nodded to each other and leaped into the vortex’s central black hole, one after the other.

On the Flying Boats above, disciples of the sects looked scornfully at the Martial Artists scrambling like ants below and mocked, "Pioneers for the king, do they really think they can get anything good inside?"

"Our elders should just drive these people away, only the six major sects and the Imperial Family have the right to enter. Others going in will only cause destruction."
