Behind the wall where Ghost Face No.3 was located, there was also a secret chamber. This chamber housed a large quantity of pills and items related to alchemy and pharmaceuticals, including alchemy tools and some books. Due to the age of these items, nearly all of the pills had lost their effectiveness and were no longer valuable. However, the items related to alchemy and medicine production had not been affected by the passage of time. Especially the pill refining furnaces and similar items were extraordinary treasures. Aside from the Heavenly Dao Engine, none of the treasures carried by Qi Tian were as valuable.

Qi Tian was, of course, overjoyed by this discovery. He spent some time carefully examining every item in the chamber, eliminating those that had lost their effectiveness, while those that still possessed spirituality and fluctuations of Spirit Qi were kept. Among the nearly ineffective pills, Qi Tian discovered over a hundred more. At the peak of their effectiveness, any one of them would have been worth a fortune. Now, their efficacy might not even be one percent of what it once was, but even so, these were still rare Spiritual Elixirs and counted as extremely precious.

Qi Tian collected them, planning to later identify exactly what kind of pills they were. Considering they had been stored so carefully, these pills must definitely not be imitations and were sure to have extraordinary properties.

After dealing with the items in the secret chamber, Qi Tian turned his attention to the next wall. The previous two encounters with the Nascent Soul Stage Ghost Faces, while successful, could hardly be called easy; they were quite dangerous, and Qi Tian didn’t dare let his guard down. He remained vigilant, establishing layers of protection to prevent any unexpected incidents.

From Ghost Face No.1 to Ghost Face No.3, Qi Tian had activated them all, temporarily enlisting them as his guards and reinforcing his security measures.

Once all preparations were made, Qi Tian readied himself to start tackling the next wall. He used the same old method, commanding the Liuli Sand to transform into a grinding wheel and slowly approach the wall. Like before, ripples began to appear on the wall’s surface and became more intense as the grinding wheel pressed closer, fluctuating wildly with severe reactions.

Qi Tian didn’t stop the grinding wheel, continuing to command it to press closer. Based on his previous experiences with breaking through the walls, this would be when Ghost Face appeared. When that happened, Qi Tian just had to replicate his previous actions. The process might be dangerous, but he had enough confidence to deal with the new Ghost Face and, barring accidents, he would acquire a Ghost Face No.4.

But the unexpected occurred at that very moment.

Just as the grinding wheel was about to make contact with the wall, a dark shadow suddenly burst forth from the ripples. It moved with incredible speed, like an arrow released from a bow, emerging from the wall and heading straight for the grinding wheel.

When subduing Ghost Face No.2 and Ghost Face No.3, the Ghost Faces had used the same tactic, opening their mouths wide to swallow the grinding wheel. But this time, the entity that rushed out from the wall wasn’t a Ghost Face; it was much smaller, and to his surprise, a Wolf Teeth Knife.

Qi Tian had been using the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine to lock onto everything around him. The instant the Wolf Teeth Knife appeared, he accurately identified what it was. But recognizing it was one thing, and being able to react in time was another. The Wolf Teeth Knife was so fast, and the distance between the grinding wheel and the wall was so short that Qi Tian didn’t have time to maneuver the grinding wheel out of the way, and it hit the grinding wheel head-on.

The grinding wheel couldn’t dodge and shattered upon impact, the yellow sand composing it scattered in all directions, no longer able to form a coherent whole. Every grain of sand took a heavy hit from the Wolf Teeth Knife, their contained huge amounts of energy dissipating considerably at the moment of collision.

Each grain of sand suffered a significant decrease in power, including those that had evolved to the Nascent Soul Stage; all but one grain managed to maintain its Nascent Soul Stage level, while the rest fell below.

Such a result was quite dire. Although the damage was not directly taken by Qi Tian, the sand belonging to the Liuli Sand was considered to be one of his most powerful forces. Their damage meant Qi Tian’s strength was severely set back.

Before Qi Tian had a chance to lament, or gather the scattered grains of sand back together, the ripples on the wall changed again. Another dark shadow shot out from within, not aiming for the harmless grinding wheel or Liuli Sand but straight at the chief culprit, Qi Tian.
