However, he had been previously warned by the stele to immediately pour the pot of Spiritual Liquid into the "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass."
Duan Gujin took a deep breath, and while infusing the Spiritual Medicine into the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass, his mind raced as he pondered over the true nature of this so-called "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass."
Even the thought that the stele he was currently viewing could very well be someone else's wicked prank flashed through his mind.
Yet, upon further reflection, he felt that the stele before him was almost identical to the one he saw earlier, and the plant didn't seem like a common plant that could be easily fabricated.
But he was truly puzzled as to why the Liuyun Immortal Sect would set up such a test here.
After a while, he saw that the Spiritual Liquid had covered the plant with a layer.
The Spiritual Liquid slowly seeped into the soil, and the area around the plant was covered with a bright red liquid, which looked sinister.
Duan Gujin furrowed his brows tightly, as the name of a plant quickly flashed through his mind.
"Could it be that the plant I'm seeing is not the 'Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass,' but the Bloodthirsty Demon Spider?"
A doubt flashed through his heart, his eyes wide open, he carefully examined the so-called "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass."
As time ticked by, he soon saw the originally withered and seemingly dying "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass" come back to life as if by miracle, its parched roots visibly swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After a while, the "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass" seemed indistinguishable from any ordinary plant.
Seeing this, Duan Gujin drew a sharp breath, his mind spinning rapidly, and he felt that the so-called "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass" in front of him was very likely fake.
To confirm his suspicion, he boldly made a cut on the base of the "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass" with his Hand Blade.
The "Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass," once cut, began oozing strands of blood-red liquid.
Duan Gujin's eyes bulged, he dabbed a drop of the liquid and tasted it, immediately spitting it out.
"I've been deceived! This plant is not the 'Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass' at all, but the Bloodthirsty Demon Spider!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Spider is not a Demon Beast, but a type of plant.
The reason it bears the character for 'spider' in its name is that its blossoms, when in full bloom, closely resemble spiders and the flowers produce Spider Silk around them, which aids in capturing other living creatures.
When Duan Gujin confirmed that the plant was indeed the Bloodthirsty Demon Spider, his expression became as pained as if he had swallowed something disgusting.
In order to complete the task given by the stele, he had previously spent quite a lot of time hunting Demon Beasts and also a lot of effort in brewing the Sixth-rank Spiritual Liquid.
Unexpectedly, after all his hard work, he found out he had been hoodwinked.
"Could it be that before me, someone had been here and taken the real 'Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass'?"
With a thought, he began to inspect the surroundings.
After a while, he drew a conclusion.
"This Alchemy Furnace had not been used by anyone before; it must be my first time using it! As for the others, it's hard to say!"
He pondered for a while then decided to search the vicinity for more similar secret chambers.
Moments later, he found another such secret chamber.
In that secret chamber, there was also a stele and a plant, with the inscription on the stele being very similar to what Duan Gujin had seen before.
This time, Duan Gujin directly moved the stele to examine the plant beneath it.
After careful inspection, he discovered that beneath that stele was a Blood-sucking Moon Flower.
His examination was meticulous, and he eventually came to a conclusion.
"This is completely a hoax, the stele here, and the Alchemy Furnace here are just part of the scam!"
His mind raced, and he eventually surmised that it was not the doing of any competitors who had entered this place with him but must have been orchestrated by the Liuyun Immortal Sect. They deliberately used these fake clues to confuse the contestants like him.
"What on earth does Liuyun Immortal Sect want to do?"
Duan Gujin took a deep breath and continued to wander through the ruins.
A while later, he found another secret chamber, and inside was a similar Alchemy Furnace and stele.
He could only sigh, filled with confusion and doubt.
"What on earth does Liuyun Immortal Sect want to do?"
Out of helplessness and to express his anger, he smashed everything in those three secret chambers.
Then, he headed towards other locations indicated on the map.
"Look, that person smashed all the secret chambers!"
Meanwhile, within a secret chamber of the Liuyun Immortal Sect, the elders responsible for this Sixth-level Alchemist test saw through the Imaging Crystal Stone that Duan Gujin had destroyed those three chambers.
"It's unexpected; he is the first one to discover that those chambers were fishy!"
"Yes!"
"Now that he knows something is off with those chambers, release the real Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass at once!"
"Okay!"
When they saw Duan Gujin smash those three chambers, the people from Liuyun Immortal Sect decided to release the real Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass.
If they did not release the real Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass, they knew they would miss out on truly competent Sixth-level Alchemists.
As for Duan Gujin in the Secret Realm, he had just gone less than a few hundred meters when suddenly, he saw a green light shining in the sky.
That green light was different from ordinary white light, and he quickly looked up to pay attention to it.
Next, he saw a trail of green light flashing across the sky.
"What is that? Could it be the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass?"
After seeing the trail of green light, Duan Gujin associated it with the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Grass.
He took a deep breath, his body flashed, and he turned into a streak of light, speeding towards the direction where the green light had moved.
He wanted to fly up into the sky to capture that green light trail, but the green light moved so fast that it quickly disappeared into the void ahead.
"Could that green light just now have been the Heavenly Dragon Immortal Grass?"
Duan Gujin wanted to chase the green light with all his might, but he quickly realized he had lost sight of it.
"This place is so vast, and that green light moves so fast that even if I were very close to it, I'm afraid I would not be able to catch it. It seems that Liuyun Immortal Sect's test for Sixth-level Alchemists really intends to test an alchemist's luck!"
Duan Gujin thought so, but he still sped towards the direction where the green light had vanished.
He knew that the green light might have changed direction, but chasing after it like this was still much better than previously running around aimlessly like a headless fly.
Duan Gujin used Rapid motion and continued flying forward for over ten kilometers.
However, he still had not seen that green light.
