Duan Gujin inhaled sharply, thinking to himself how many demon beasts he would have to slay to find the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass on his way.

"Could it be that this challenge is mainly testing our luck as contestants?"

After pondering for a while, Duan Gujin simply abandoned his previous approach.

His body flashed and turned into a streak of flowing light, rapidly disappearing into the void.

This time, his goal was merely to quickly dart through the territories of the Fire Rhinoceros Demon Beasts, to scout the situation.

However, after confirming that there truly was no Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass inside, Duan Gujin immediately left the territory of the Fire Rhinoceros Demon Beasts.

It was only when he reached the border between the Fire Rhinoceros Demon Beasts and other demon beasts' territories that he let out a sigh of relief.

After ensuring there were no dangers around, he sat down cross-legged to cultivate and recover his Primordial Power.

After his strength was restored, he then proceeded to challenge the next territory occupied by demon beasts.

This time, he copied the same method, speeding through the demon beasts' territory and leading them in circles.

While doing so, he expanded his Divine Sense to search the surrounding area.

After several attempts, he found this method to be quite effective.

Although facing some demon beasts required him to make multiple return trips, he was at least able to conserve some Primordial Power without exhausting himself every single time.

Meanwhile, in a certain place within the Liuyun Immortal Sect, the elders responsible for this test were closely watching the progress.

"How is the situation now?"

"As of now, all contestants have passed the first challenge, seventy-two have passed the second challenge, and the rest are attempting the third challenge! Someone is about to enter the ruins."

"Good!"

A day had passed, and Duan Gujin had already breached seventeen different territories of demon beasts.

However, despite this, Duan Gujin still had not seen the stele set up by the Liuyun Immortal Sect in this area.

"This place is really huge!"

Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, but at this point, he had no other choice; he did not want to leave just yet, feeling that he could still conduct a thorough search here.

"All I can do is give it my all!"

Even having lived two lifetimes, Duan Gujin found the Liuyun Immortal Sect's test this time to be incredibly baffling.

Up until now, he had only gone through some basic tests and hadn't encountered anything specific to the challenges faced by a Sixth-level Alchemist.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Liuyun Immortal Sect isn't testing our abilities in alchemy this time and is just examining our luck?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt the Liuyun Immortal Sect would not solely be testing the contestants' luck.

"Could I have overlooked some vital clue?"

Duan Gujin then meticulously went over everything that had happened since he entered this place.

Despite thinking hard for a long time, he still came up empty.

"I should not have missed any important clues along the way!"

He immediately went over the names of the demon beasts he had encountered along the way in his mind, and did not detect anything strange about them.

After a long period of fruitless pondering, he discarded the unnecessary thoughts and continued forward.

This time, he successfully breached the territories of three more demon beasts and arrived in front of some ruins.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the ruins before him were a miniature version of a pyramid.

"So this is what the ruins are like!"

Duan Gujin was overjoyed, as he immediately rushed into the ruins to start scouring for items within.

He began his search in the ruins, and quickly, in one of the sealed chambers, he found a stele with inscriptions and an Alchemy Furnace beside it, under which was an Earth Fire.

As long as he poured Primordial Power into an Array next to it, the Earth Fire would automatically ignite, providing a relentless flame for the Pill Furnace.

He immediately checked the text on the stele and soon realized that it was telling him about Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass buried beneath it, which was on the verge of death.

To bring the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass back to life, one must concoct a very special kind of Spiritual Medicine.

This kind of Spiritual Medicine does not form naturally; instead, it requires the blood of many Demon Beasts and even the refinement of some beast flesh and blood before finally boiling a pot of Spiritual Medicine.

"Who could have thought, the final challenge harbored so many mysteries!"

Seeing the content on the stele, Duan Gujin touched his nose, thinking to himself, luckily he had not acted recklessly before, or he might not even have found any Demon Beasts.

"Thankfully, I was clever and did not act recklessly!"

Duan Gujin promptly wrote on the wall, leaving a message for others to seek the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass elsewhere.

He had intended to take the entire Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass under the stele, but when his Divine Sense entered the grass, he furrowed his brows.

"Unexpectedly, the Liuyun Immortal Sect has done such a trick here; if I take it away, it will quickly turn to ashes! It seems I really should follow the instructions on the stele!"

Before leaving, to ensure that no one else would discover the stele, he quickly sealed the chamber with some rocks.

However, he currently had no Treasures at hand and couldn't conceal the stele.

"I hope my luck is good enough! After I leave, no one discovers this place!"

At this point, Duan Gujin was out of options.

He had to venture outside to hunt the local Demon Beasts in order to obtain their blood.

Fortunately, there were some intact bottles and pots next to the stele, which were enough for him to store the Demon Beast Blood Crow blood after hunting.

After preparing everything, Duan Gujin immediately hunted the Demon Beasts listed on the stele nearby.

He busied himself for an entire day and finally managed to collect all the required Demon Beast blood.

He quickly made a fire and began to boil the Spiritual Liquid as recorded on the stele.

He had previously calculated what changes would occur after combining those Demon Beast bloods, thinking through it thoroughly.

In the end, he concluded that the Spiritual Liquid he would concoct was full of potent Spirit energy.

Although drinking the Spiritual Medicine would not harm him, he definitely would not be able to absorb the Divine Power within the Spiritual Liquid.

He might not be able to absorb the Divine Power within the Spiritual Liquid, but that didn't mean the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass couldn't.

Duan Gujin was not sure what kind of Spiritual Medicine the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass mentioned by the Liuyun Immortal Sect was; he could only faithfully follow the Elixir Recipe recorded on the stele.

This time, he spent two hours and finally succeeded in boiling the pot of Spiritual Medicine.

"I never imagined that such a Sixth-tier Spiritual Liquid existed in this world!"

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Duan Gujin might not have believed that a large pot of Demon Beast blood could be refined into a Spiritual Liquid comparable to Sixth-tier Elixir Pills.

However, the Sixth-tier Spiritual Liquid before him was not suitable for the Human Warrior to consume.

If a Human Warrior consumed this pot of Spiritual Liquid, to a great extent, it would be akin to being poisoned.

Because many toxins were mixed into this pot of Demon Beast blood.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, and after making sure there was no problem with the Sixth-tier Spiritual Liquid, he pushed open a lid beneath the stele.

Underneath the lid was a withered plant, the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass.

When he saw the withered plant, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly; he always felt that this withered plant didn't seem to be benevolent.
