Jin Bao'er blinked, startled by his words.
"The ghost realm is gone? Could it be..."
Seeing her slow comprehension, Long Li Xing chuckled.
"Don't you feel it? You should be able to sense it now, right? Salen's inextinguishable gray mist and his power, different from ghost cultivators, must have been caused by him swallowing my strength! But his absorption method was flawed!"
Jin Bao'er vaguely recalled that her final strike seemed to have destroyed something, and her expression suddenly turned to astonishment.
"Since you found the power, Senior... why did you watch me destroy him?" Couldn't you have taken the power back?
Although she didn't voice the latter half, Long Li Xing understood her meaning, his tone laced with disdain and disgust.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Power tainted by such a disgusting entity, I would rather destroy it!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Bao'er pursed her lips slightly, lost in thought.
"Then how do we get to the Elf Continent?"
As they were talking, a voice chimed in, filled with curiosity and excitement!
Long Li Xing turned his gaze towards the dazzling golden-red phoenix and the little girl sleeping soundly beside it. A flicker of something unusual passed through his indifferent eyes.
"Jin Bao'er, I must say, your luck is quite extraordinary! Surviving the ghost realm with near-certain death, you actually brought back something like this. To travel to the Elf Continent requires a large teleportation array. The two essential components are already accounted for..."
Jin Huang turned her head, looking quite surprised.
"Uncle Long, how do you know?"
She only knew this from her inheritance. How could Uncle Long be so clear about it? He must have lived for a very long time!
When Jin Bao'er first heard of the Elf Continent, it felt vaguely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Noticing Long Li Xing's gaze, she suddenly realized.
It was the inheritance! When she accepted the Immortal Abode's inheritance and became its master, she had seen some content. A long time ago, the Phoenix Clan had relocated their entire race for some reason. Only a few who couldn't keep up were left behind in the cultivation world! Jin Huang's mother was one of them!
The current dwelling place of the Phoenix Clan was precisely the Elf Continent...
"However... Bao Bao's identity?"
This was also something that had always perplexed her. She was said to be a crystal spirit, yet she was trapped in the ghost realm, with no discernible aura and lacking the abundant spiritual energy of a crystal spirit! If she wasn't a crystal spirit, then why wasn't she a soul body, yet she could endure being in such a cold ghost crystal mine for so long? Even Salen only wanted to imprison her, not devour or destroy her!
"Don't think about it! She is not of this cultivation continent! To go to the Elf Continent, we will likely need this little one to guide us!"
Guide them? Did Bao Bao know the way to the Elf Continent? Could it be... she was an elf?
It wasn't impossible! After all, in both her lives, she had never seen what elves looked like, nor had she ever heard of the existence of other continents.
"I understand, a large teleportation array... I'll try!"
She had practiced formations for a long time, but she had never attempted a truly large teleportation array. After all, the larger the array, the more complex and numerous the required components.
Thinking for a moment, she decided to head to the Alchemist Guild first! It was said to have a seven-story Treasure Pavilion, which contained records of almost all historical sites and cultivation techniques in the cultivation world! It should contain what she wanted to know.
...
At the same time, the news of Jin Bao'er's survival spread rapidly. Not only had she not died after fighting with a supreme being from the upper realm, but after disappearing for two years, her cultivation had greatly increased upon her return to the sect! Reaching the mid-Divine Transformation stage at the age of nineteen truly shocked all cultivators!
Her earlier decision to leave the sect was also a topic of widespread discussion, with all sorts of speculations.
Soon, the peerlessly beautiful woman in a water-blue pháp y stood at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild. Her aura was restrained, her expression calm and serene, yet with an underlying power!
She simply stunned the two guards at the gate!
"Please announce my arrival. Jin Bao'er seeks an audience with Master Qian!"
The guards snapped back to reality, realizing they couldn't perceive her cultivation. They exchanged glances, their expressions instantly becoming grave.
"Please wait a moment!"
They were inwardly terrified! If they couldn't see through her, it meant the person before them was of a higher cultivation level, definitely in the upper echelon of the Divine Transformation stage! If she was here to cause trouble...
With this thought, their feet quickened!
Inside, Master Qian, who was refining pills, had a solemn and serious expression, clearly indicating the extreme importance of this batch of pills.
"Guild Master! A woman is asking to see you outside! Her cultivation is extremely high! I..."
"Go, go! Can't you see I'm refining pills? Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, I wouldn't see him!"
Master Qian, disturbed from his refining, spoke with considerable annoyance, carefully controlling the heat and observing the reactions in the pill furnace with utmost caution.
However, after a moment of hesitation, the guard continued.
"Guild Master! This person is not simple! You should still..."
Master Qian frowned, instinctively turning his head to lash out!
"Stop the nonsense! Don't you know I'm refining pills? If something goes wrong..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish, the pill furnace suddenly let out a loud noise. The next second, wisps of black smoke drifted out, clearly... this batch of pills was completely ruined!
"Ahhhhhh!! My pills!!"
A wail instantly echoed through the surroundings. Master Qian looked at the black ball in the box with a bitter expression, heartbroken beyond measure!
"You brat! If you don't give me a proper explanation today, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
A furious roar was heard, faintly audible even to Jin Bao'er at the main gate. Following this was Master Qian storming over, with the guard who had just left trailing behind him, his eyes bruised...
Upon seeing Jin Bao'er, Master Qian's first reaction was one of stunning beauty. However, he quickly regained his composure, his expression quite impatient!
"So, you are the one who sought me out? Your cultivation is indeed good, little girl, but not just anyone can enter my Alchemist Guild! If you want pills, follow the procedure, otherwise, get out!"
Does having high cultivation make you special? He had seen plenty of Divine Transformation stage cultivators!
Jin Bao'er glanced at the guard behind him, understanding the situation. Her tone was calm and polite.
"It's been a few years, Guild Master, and you're still as impulsive! Didn't you say last time that the Alchemist Guild always welcomes me?"
She remembered clearly. After that competition, the old man had personally invited her to join the Alchemist Guild. Later, he had gone to the Misty Sect to find her master, which was how her identity was revealed!
Hearing this, Master Qian chuckled with disdain.
"Little girl, you speak too boldly! When did I ever say such a thing? If you don't leave, beware of my impoliteness!"
The guard behind him quickly became vigilant! Instantly, the threatening aura of three Divine Transformation stage cultivators emanated from three directions! Jin Bao'er's expression finally turned serious...
No wonder the Alchemist Guild had stood for hundreds of years and remained unbroken. Besides their formidable alchemy skills, they also had such experts guarding them!
"That's right! No matter who you are, Jin Bao'er! My Alchemist Guild is not a place for you to act wild..."
Before he could finish speaking, Master Qian suddenly turned his head and stared intently at him, his eyes practically overflowing with shock!
