Path of Alchemy Mastery-Chapter 346 - 347: Wang Cai’s Harvest

Mu Can, fleeing in a wild dash, found his speed gradually dwindling. A massive suction force ripped him from the ground, this time the pull was several times stronger than before, as if his attack had infuriated the vortex, and now the vortex sought revenge. Mu Can didn’t even have time to resist before he was sucked into its midst.

"Ah! I don’t want to die." Mu Can’s last word still trailing, he was directly pulled into the vortex.

The space was then left with only the eerie, slowly rotating vortex, its speed gradually decreasing until finally, it returned to calm.

The space was empty, and a palm-sized sphere, bereft of power support, fell to the ground, and just like that, Mu Can vanished without a trace.

...

"Woof! What kind of crappy place is this? Let me see what secrets it holds."

The Qiankun Compass above Wang Cai’s head shone more dazzlingly than ever when activated at full power, becoming gradually transparent and emitting a blinding light as it hovered over Mu Can’s head, in an instant it expanded as vast as the sky, engulfing the entire heavens.

The space where Wang Cai was located was naturally desolate, with not a blade of grass on the barren ground, merely sand and rock, and the only thing in this space which seemed ancient and ever-present was the wind.

Howling gales, gentle breezes, cool winds that brush past your face without a chill, icy winds that penetrate your chest and chill you to the bone – all kinds of wind, as if there were hurricanes enough to sweep up the earth – this was truly a paradise of wind.

When the massive compass engulfed the entire space, the wind in the space eerily ceased.

A rock materialized out of the blue, faintly visible in the very center of the space.

"Hehe, I knew it. If your methods surpassed that of the former master, then indeed I would have no way to handle you. But now, woof!" Wang Cai barked strangely, charging straight ahead.

Wang Cai had discovered the secret of this space upon entering, although such a method would be considered divine in the Mortal World, it was quite simple in Wang Cai’s eyes.

However, Wang Cai also admired the creator of these Secret Manuals, whatever the method might be, the result was truly a stroke of genius.

Wang Cai dashed forward, his big paw reached out, and he grabbed the nearly transparent stone in his hand.

"To think it’s a Wind Core Stone, to be used in such a way..." Wang Cai marveled at the stone in hand, which he just so happened to recognize.

Wind Core Stone, a stone that exists only at the center of hurricanes, found only on mountain peaks perennially shrouded in fierce winds, rare in number but greatly amplifying the Wind Attribute Spiritual Energy, if obtained by a cultivator who practiced Wind Attribute Cultivation Techniques, it could boost their practicing speed by twice or more. However, Wang Cai had never thought the Wind Core Stone could have such a use.

"Woof! Using the Wind Core Stone to create an environment full of various types of wind, it indeed would help one comprehend Wind Attribute Cultivation Techniques. This idea is good, it can only be used once though, I need to modify it and throw it into the fourth layer of the Reincarnation Pearl." Wang Cai observed the stone in his hand.

Engraved upon the transparent stone were lines forming a small Array.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!" As he observed the Array, Wang Cai even let out cat-like calls.

The Array could draw out all the embedded Wind Aura, no wonder it could lead to sudden enlightenment. While the aura was weak, it was nonetheless sufficient for a Martial Saint Level cultivator to comprehend their own Cultivation Technique.

"Hehe, will keep this safe for now, think of a way to put it into the Reincarnation Pearl later and modify it so it can be used simultaneously." Wang Cai wore a full smile, his mouth stretching to his ears, finding it a treasure that would greatly assist the current Mu Can.

As Wang Cai pocketed the Wind Core Stone, the huge Compass above his head began to shrink, returning to hover above Wang Cai. This treasure had been a great help, as it had not only shielded from the Heavenly Level but also pinpointed the Array Eye, allowing Wang Cai to obtain this precious Wind Core Stone.

"Hehe, even if as an Artifact Spirit I comprehend a Cultivation Technique, what use is it? Better to keep this treasure for use." Wang Cai was quite pleased with his little calculation.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion now, there are not only cultivators from the Mortal World but also beings from the Demon World and the Immortal World, but the most unique of all was certainly Wang Cai.

The only being to enter here as an Artifact Spirit and also recognized by Tongshen Mountain. And more importantly, he was a greedy dog, and even more importantly, this greedy dog had the cheat-like condition of possessing a Qiankun Compass, enough for him to swagger around here.

"Hehe, if later they limit the strength to only allow the use of cultivation techniques learned here, don’t blame me for directly blocking you." Wang Cai decided he would not only take away the core objects of the Secret Manual space but also strive for a ranking in the subsequent duels.

Who knows, if the one who created Tongshen Mountain that year knew about this, they might have imposed stricter conditions. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted from the space where Mu Can had been, the sphere that fell to the ground exploding, small in size but causing an earth-shattering commotion as a vast amount of Spiritual Energy burst forth from the sphere. A powerful storm of Spiritual Energy emanated from the central point where the sphere fell, spreading out in all directions – merging green and gray-white Spiritual Energy together, like seeds sown upon the earth. Where the spreading aura passed, blades of grass timidly peeked out from below the surface, saplings broke through the soil, and within moments grew into towering trees.

In just a few minutes, the space recovered the previous vibrant scene, different was that the clearly defined plains and forest were now overlapping together.

As if a green carpet had been laid under the previous forest.

This time, the sphere’s fall point made a huge circular area in the space, with Mu Can appearing right in the center of the circle.

Seated in a meditative pose, entering a state of sudden enlightenment.

Mu Can, after entering the vortex and witnessing the birth and extinction of life, entered an enlightened state.

Strands of Life Spiritual Energy surged towards Mu Can from all directions, and the meditating Mu Can seemed not to notice at all, generously absorbing all the incoming Life Spiritual Energy into his body.
