Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

White light flickered, and there was no one in the Fourth Heaven.

The next second, Wang Teng returned to the Great Hall of his home in the Guanghan Palace.

Afterward, he also entered the Palm Buddha Country.

Inside the room, Wang Teng began his intense work.

The Eight Clans' army could attack at any time, so he must race against the clock.

Thinking of this, he directly released five main clones.

Then, each of the five clones took out a pill furnace and began alchemy.

He still had a large quantity of Tier One Spirit Grass, which could be used to refine Tier One Elixirs, perfect for the five clones to consume.

Firstly, it could produce a large number of Tier One Elixirs to enhance his and his members' strength.

Secondly, it was to increase the skill level of alchemy and to upgrade the level of the alchemy technique.

That Mid-Level Spirit Awakening Pill is a Tier Four Spirit Pill.

With his current alchemy ability, the chances of failure are very high if he attempts to refines it forcefully.

And he only had three portions of Kunpeng Essence Blood, which couldn't be wasted easily.

Therefore, to improve the success rate of alchemy, he let the five clones continue refining Tier One Elixirs to increase skill proficiency.

Once the alchemy technique reaches the high-level stage, then he'll refine the Mid-Level Spirit Awakening Pill.

After arranging the clones' work, Wang Teng took out a large batch of wasted elixirs, more than two thousand in total.

Looking at so many wasted elixirs, he felt quite good.

These were exactly what he purchased from those alchemists.

At once, he picked up a wasted elixir and began the extraction work.

Thus, Wang Teng and the five clones were all engaged in intense work.

...

At the same time, more than ten miles outside Heaven-Reaching Lake, within a hidden mountain depression.

A trickling stream flowed out of the mountain depression, stretching over ten miles, and merged into Heaven-Reaching Lake.

At this moment, a slender and delicate young woman was curiously studying the spring at the end of the stream.

This young woman was Yi Qingchen, a member of the Celestial Court.

She was one of the pillars cultivated by Wang Teng for the Celestial Court.

After receiving Wang Teng's elixir pills' assistance, her strength increased greatly, and she gained immense benefits.

This made her admire Wang Teng even more.

"Strange~! Why is the spring at this mountain spring emitting white light?"

Yi Qingchen muttered in her heart.

The spring before her was beneath a giant rock in a mountain depression, with a continuous flow of mountain spring water oozing out from the rock's crevice.

"Qingchen sister, what are you looking at? It's somewhat dangerous for us to come here to kill enemies in the middle of the night! Let's return to Guanghan Palace first!"

A young girl's voice sounded from behind Yi Qingchen.

That was a new friend Yi Qingchen had made, who came from The Deer and the Cauldron.

Originally, both of them had equivalent talents and strengths, but because of the Celestial Court, Yi Qingchen gained significant benefits in the early stages, elevating her comprehensive strength a notch higher.

This was a benefit for those who followed Boss Wang Teng from the very beginning.

"Come and have a look, this spring seems odd!"

Yi Qingchen called out to her companion behind her.

"What's odd about it?"

The young girl came up curiously.

"Look, isn't the spring emitting white light?"

"Oh?! It really is! This white light is somewhat dim; if it weren't such a pitch-black night, it would be hard to notice. How strange, why is there white light in this spring?"

"Do you think there's some treasure buried under this spring?"

The young girl's eyes lit up: "Yes~! It really might be the case!"

Yi Qingchen also got excited: "Let's dig together and see what's under this spring!"

"Okay~!"

Immediately, the two young women began exerting effort, starting to clear away the surrounding sand and stones.

On the Fertile Continent, they would just be ordinary young girls.

But in the Ten Thousand Realms, they had already become warriors with combat power exceeding 6000 points.

After a series of slashing and chopping.

"Boom~!"

A loud crash!

The giant boulder split directly in half, causing the entire mountain depression to tremble, revealing a dazzling white light before them.

The two women quickly looked toward the white light and saw a white light gate behind the giant boulder at the bottom of the mountain depression.

It turned out that there was a hidden light gate within the boulder, now completely exposed.

"Huh? Qingchen sister, this light gate seems to be the entrance to a secret realm!"

The young girl was amazed.

"Let's go~! Let's go inside and see!"

The two women exchanged a glance, unable to resist their curiosity, and walked toward the light gate.

The light gate was about a person's height and three feet wide.

Yi Qingchen, bold and skillful, walked in first.

The young girl followed closely behind.

As they stepped through the light gate, the scene before their eyes shifted dramatically.

The next second, the two women found themselves standing in front of an endless river beach.

[Hint: You have entered the mysterious land—the Eight Hundred Quicksand Realm, gaining 50 reputation value.]

Quicksand River!

Could it be the Quicksand River, eight hundred miles wide and tens of thousands of miles long?!

The two women were astonished.

This is the famous river from ancient myth and legend.

Eight hundred miles of quicksand, 3000 weak waters, a feather won't float, and it can't be crossed.

"Wow~! Qingchen sister, it's so vast here! There are so many beautiful stones in the river!"

"Yes~! I never expected such a secret realm to exist here; I wonder what this realm's purpose is?"

As Yi Qingchen spoke, she glanced toward the riverbed, and with that look, her eyes froze.

A moment later, Yi Qingchen's cries of joy echoed in the scene.

"Wow~! Beiming Crystal Stones! The quicksand at the riverbed is all filled with Beiming Crystal Stones!"

"Heavens~! This sparkling stuff in the water, it's all Beiming Crystal Stones!"

"Qingchen sister, in this endless Quicksand River, how many Beiming Crystal Stones are there, it's simply inexhaustible!"
