779: Suddenly appeared, with a mysterious origin

Danhe Realm.

On top of a mountain peak.

A black-robed old man was playing chess with a white-haired old man dressed in coarse linen.

The black-robed old man was none other than the Danhe Realm Lord, Yao Youxuan.

Yao Youxuan was a peak Heaven-level Alchemist, just one step away from reaching the Dao-level.

“Senior Brother, four interesting young people have appeared in the Danhe Realm this time.”

Yao Youxuan placed a black chess piece.

“Oh?”

The white-haired old man then placed a piece.

Yao Youxuan waved his hand lightly, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, forming four luminous figures.

If Xie Weilou were here, he would certainly realize that one of them was him.

Yao Youxuan looked at three of the luminous figures and said with a faint smile, “Dantingzi, Heavenly Cauldron, and Ye Chuzhi, these three have all shown a strength of eighth-grade alchemy in this assessment.”

“To possess eighth-grade alchemy at such a young age is indeed impressive.”

The white-haired old man nodded slightly.

Yao Youxuan sighed, “It’s a pity they have special backgrounds, so I didn’t allow them to become elders of the Danhe Realm.”

“This Dantingzi is suspected to be from the Heavenly Palace, as for Heavenly Cauldron and Ye Chuzhi, it can be confirmed that they come from the Imperial Clan Tian Clan and the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty.”

The Danhe Realm does not refuse people from various major forces to come here for assessment and to study alchemy.

However, anyone from a major force, regardless of their alchemy level, cannot hold the position of an elder in the Danhe Realm; they can only be ordinary disciples.

These three displayed extraordinary alchemy during the assessment, but unfortunately, they are still just ordinary disciples of the Danhe Realm!

The white-haired old man said calmly, “People from the three major forces are not here to join the Danhe Realm; they should be eyeing the tomb beneath the Dan Tomb.”

Within the Danhe Realm, there is a Dan Tomb, which is the tomb of the first founder of the Danhe Realm.

Beneath the Dan Tomb, a more mysterious tomb is hidden.

That tomb beneath the Dan Tomb should be the true target of the three major forces.

This time, the three major forces sent young people here, certainly to investigate the situation of that tomb.

There is a great secret hidden within that tomb; back when the Danhe Realm was not yet established, news of the tomb had already spread.

Some say a Divine Medicine is hidden inside, others say peerless scriptures...

“Their goal must be that tomb.”

Yao Youxuan smiled indifferently.

The white-haired old man looked at the fourth figure, “You just mentioned three people, so what about this person?”

Yao Youxuan looked at the fourth figure and pondered, “This person is temporarily named Xie Wei, with a mid-ninth-grade alchemy strength, and he possesses a Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame.”

“He once, under the identities of Xie Weilou and Xie Wushi, killed many people from the Myriad Sword Holy Land, using extremely brutal methods. He is an unruly individual, and his combat power can probably rival the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of various Holy Lands. When he entered Dan River Ancient City, he even massacred people from the Danhe Realm...”

Xie Weilou killing people in Dan River Ancient City could not be hidden from him; every move in Dan River Ancient City was under his gaze.

When Xie Weilou was undergoing the assessment, he had already uncovered some of Xie Weilou’s deeds.

“Mid-ninth-grade alchemy? Does he have any major force behind him?”

The white-haired old man showed a hint of interest.

Yao Youxuan shook his head and said, “This child appeared out of nowhere, with a mysterious background. There is no such person among the major forces, but he possesses many things. I, for one, cannot see through him. Currently, he is an elder of my Danhe Realm.”

The white-haired old man looked at Yao Youxuan, “Your evaluation of this young man is quite unique. Do you mean...”

Yao Youxuan bowed to the white-haired old man, “Senior Brother, your alchemy is peerless, but you still do not have a single disciple, even my granddaughter cannot catch your eye.”

“However, this Xie Wei, compared to the other three, is still relatively clear-headed. I feel he is quite good. Currently, my Danhe Realm does not have a young person who can rival the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the various Holy Lands...”

Who was his Senior Brother?

The foremost person in the Danhe Realm, Kutianchen, with a half-step Saint-level alchemy skill.

Looking at the entire Eastern Wilderness, in the realm of alchemy, in an era where Saint Alchemists do not appear, if Kutianchen claims to be second, who dares to claim first?

Kutianchen showed a thoughtful expression, “Since you say so, I can pay attention to him. If I can find a disciple to pass down my legacy, it would not be bad, after all, this old bone of mine cannot last much longer.”

Time is merciless; under the erosion of time, what can these old fellows like them do?

In the end, they can only fight with their lives, but unfortunately, how many can fight their way to a path of survival?

Especially at his current realm, if he could take a small half-step forward in cultivation, he might be able to defy fate, but unfortunately, this half-step is very difficult to take.

Yao Youxuan bowed to Kutianchen, “About that tomb...”

“Since they are all eyeing this place, instead of hiding it, it’s better to directly release the news and let people from all major forces come here. I also want to see what they can obtain from that tomb.”

Kutianchen said calmly.

“Understood.”

Yao Youxuan placed a piece and then disappeared from the spot.

“Xie Wei? Xie Weilou? Interesting.”

Kutianchen stroked his beard, his eyes penetrating heaven and earth, carrying an air of vicissitude.

Half an hour later.

Gan Peak.

Xie Weilou conjured a formation plate, which transformed into a streak of light and burrowed into the ground.

He waved his sleeve, and eighteen formation flags shot out, inserting into different areas of Gan Peak.

“I’ll temporarily reside here from now on.”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently.

Yan Qingrou flew over, “Elder Xie, everything has been arranged. From now on, this Gan Peak is yours.”

Xie Weilou said, “Thank you, Miss Yan.”

Yan Qingrou took out a communication jade slip and handed it to Xie Weilou, “Elder Xie, if you need anything in the future, just send me a message, or come find me at Canghuo Peak.”

Xie Weilou took the jade slip, “Alright.”

Yan Qingrou cupped her fists and said, “There’s a lot to do at Canghuo Peak, so I’ll head back first.”

“Mm!”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly.

Yan Qingrou then departed.

Xie Weilou waved his sleeve, and the formation plate and flags unleashed powerful energy, activating a ninth-grade grand formation that instantly enveloped Gan Peak... Three days later.

Xie Weilou went to the Danhe Main Hall.

“Greetings, Elder Xie.”

The elder in the main hall quickly saluted after seeing Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Are there any tasks here for refining ninth-grade pills? I plan to take some.”

Ninth-grade pills, at present, he had only refined the Guixu Pill, which was not enough. He still needed to try refining other pills.

The elder immediately took out a jade slip and a storage ring and handed them to Xie Weilou, “All the ninth-grade pill tasks are in this jade slip, and the requirements are also within it. The storage ring contains the corresponding medicinal ingredients. After successful refinement, come to the main hall to exchange for the reward.”

“If all the medicinal ingredients are wasted, compensation will be required, but with Elder Xie’s alchemy level, there certainly won’t be any problems.”

“Thank you.”

Xie Weilou took the jade slip and storage ring, cupped his fists slightly, and then turned to leave.

(PS: Currently, Alchemy, Formations, Restriction, and Talismans are all divided into: first to ninth grade, Profound, Earth, Heaven, and Dao, further categorized into early, middle, late, and peak stages. Rest assured, I will try to keep it simple and not overly complex.)
