The road is right under your feet

Chapter 312 Old Man

I just received news from 211 that Yun Anle is in danger.

After getting the exact location, Bai Xing rushed there without stopping.

"Congratulations on creating a high-level pill recipe. It has been verified that the recipe is real and effective. The trial is over."

Hearing the familiar yet strange voice in his mind, Bai Xing's breath was choked and his eyes suddenly widened, "Wait!"

Before he could finish his words, his vision became distorted, a familiar scene came into view, and panic spread bit by bit.

"No!"

......

A melodious bell sounded.

Everyone looked up, feeling somewhat confused.

Only one of them had a slightly changed expression, "Someone got there before me."

Xin Yu, who was standing beside him, saw that his face was not looking good and the air pressure around him was gradually getting cold and sticky, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Ying Xuanye regained his composure and restrained his breath, "Nothing, we just need to speed up."

Xin Que was puzzled. They had already reached the sixth floor. They were the only people present who could reach this place. They would be able to get what the young master needed easily.

Why are you in such a hurry now?

Could it be related to the bell ringing just now?

His face was solemn and he gradually became anxious. They had been here for some time but still could not find the entrance to the seventh floor.

What the young master needs is on the top floor, the ninth floor.

The bell sound just now was obviously coming from above, so who was walking in front of them?

The melodious sound of bells lingered in Bai Xing's ears, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear. It was obviously what he had dreamed of, but now it was so complicated and incomprehensible.

I was in darkness again, and the surroundings gradually became brighter, one step at a time, with clear layers.

With just one glance, Bai Xing knew that he had returned to the Dan Palace. The array pattern under his feet gradually dimmed and the lines became cracked.

"Phew, I was so scared, I almost couldn't come back."

"who!"

The sudden sound made Bai Xing alert. He scanned the area with his spiritual sense but did not detect anything unusual.

Bai Xing's whole body was tense, with his right hand behind his back, and a hint of blue-green appeared and disappeared.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared above his head, and Bai Xing locked onto the target immediately.

He was stunned when he looked over for the first time, and his hand holding the Bingbi Ming Gun tightened.

An exquisite wooden box fell from the sky. Bai Xing raised his head a few inches and saw a lotus-shaped ceiling lamp hanging under the conical roof.

The petals stretched out, and underneath them was the wooden box, which emitted a faint glow, no different from the light of the lotus ceiling lamp.

The wooden box gradually approached Bai Xing and finally stopped in front of Bai Xing.

Bai Xing hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized something and reached forward with the hand holding the gun, tapping the wooden box lightly with the tip of the gun.

After confirming it was safe, Bai Xing put away his gun and took the wooden box.

As the lid was opened, a wooden object came into view.

"Box within a box?"

Bai Xing was puzzled. The box was only the size of a palm. Even if it was taller, what good thing could such a nesting doll be?

The full picture of the thing came into view, and a rare look of surprise appeared on Bai Xing's face.

"Model? Tower?"

What was inside was none other than the entire picture of the palace under Bai Xing's feet.

However, he was right in the middle of it, and what he held in his hand was actually a model.

"What is this thing for?"

Bai Xing shook his head in boredom and threw it away casually, but he never expected that this thing would stick firmly to his hand.

It's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off no matter how hard you try.

Suddenly, Bai Xing's hand seemed to be pierced by a thorn in the wood, and the blood beads that appeared on it disappeared immediately, as if they were eaten by something.

Bai Xing was feeling upset and was about to take real action when he heard a voice ringing out of nowhere in his mind.

"Wait!"

Bai Xing paused when he suddenly heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

This voice was no longer illusory, but sounded clearly in his mind. The only ones who could do this were Fu Bao and others who had a contract with him.

Bai Xing suddenly had a guess. He felt it carefully and found that there was a subtle connection between him and this model.

"I worked so hard, and all I got is a model?"

Bai Xing's face turned as black as charcoal. He suddenly tightened his grip on the model tower and used his spiritual power to turn it into ashes.

However, the model was not damaged at all.

Bai Xing paused, retracted his strength, and stroked his chin, "I didn't expect a piece of wood to be stronger than metal."

Metal?

Bai Xing's heart moved, and he looked around first, then his pupils widened slightly as he looked at the model.

Then, he curled his lips and smiled, "Come out."

"As expected of a good candidate that I carefully selected, he has both brains and body."

The shadow of an old man floated out from it, appearing and disappearing.

Bai Xing's mouth twitched. He was indeed old. What kind of weird adjective was this?

Who doesn't have both a brain and a body?

Bai Xing looked the old man up and down for a moment, "Yes, both his brain and body are gone."

The old man frowned and said, "You little brat, who do you think you are talking to? You have no respect for your parents."

Bai Xing raised an eyebrow, "Oh? I want to know who it is. It caused me so much trouble."

The old man seemed to feel guilty and coughed, "Well... well... isn't it just a matter of years of disrepair? How big of a deal is that?"

"It's not a big deal, just a good emperor." Bai Xing rolled his eyes.

He has gone through a lot of trouble for this title. It's really easy to talk without any pain.

That would be fine, but I have to live in fear all day long. What if I can’t go back?

It's really no big deal.

"What do you know? This is called a test. Only those who successfully pass the test can inherit the legacy of the Alchemy Palace."

"A test." Bai Xing touched his chin, "I seemed to hear that the test I successfully passed was innovation, not being a good person, right?"

"Are you trying to frame me?"

The old man turned around and said, "Young man, don't aim too high. Keep your feet on the ground, that's the right way."

"You're still a little short of the mark."

"That's fine. After all, I'm young and can't compare to you, so naturally I'm a little behind." Bai Xing raised his eyebrows. "There's something I don't understand. I wonder if you could give me some advice, old senior?"

"You stinky boy, you keep calling me old. That's rude. I refuse to answer you."

Bai Xing continued to raise his eyebrows, "Now I am not begging you, but you must answer my question, don't you think so, old ghost?"

The old man froze for a moment, then gave up. "What do you want to know?"

Bai Xing smiled and didn't ask any more questions. He went straight to the point, "What is the content of the trial?"

"I figured out the fifth-level and above pill formulas by myself." The old man looked a little unnatural.

Bai Xing pretended not to know and continued to ask, "What did you mean by that? What do you mean you almost couldn't come back? Where exactly is that place?"

"The teleportation array is very old. This is the first time I have used it. It means literally that there is a problem with the teleportation array and it needs to be repaired. I can only think of a way to delay the return time."

"As for that place? It was just the place under the jurisdiction of Daosheng Sect in the past."

Bai Xing's heart was moved, and his heart was beating like thunder, "But... it's still in this world?"

The old man shook his head, and his figure became increasingly dim, appearing and disappearing.

Bai Xing felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Daosheng Sect has its own world. Since then... it has closed the gate and hidden in a corner of the outside world until now."

Bai Xing's body gradually warmed up, "Where is it located?"

"Yanzhou."

"Yan Zhou?" Bai Xing passed through his mouth and squeezed out from between his teeth.

"It is actually the most barren continent. Although the place is poor, the territory is vast."

Bai Xing pondered, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, "No wonder there is a time difference, the people I meet are so vivid, I thought it was an illusory world, or another world, I didn't expect this is the 'other world'"

"That way, when he gets out, he can take Anle away. Since he has the surname Yun, he should be raised in Yun Country."

Bai Xing suddenly frowned and his heart tightened. Before he left, he received news that Yun Anle was being chased and intercepted by someone.

He was sent back before he could find out the whole story. Now he didn't know what happened to the child Anle.

There is no news now. Perhaps the contact has been cut off. It is unknown how he is doing now.

Bai Xing calmed down and said, "Old man, this is not fair of you. Not only did you cheat me, but you also deducted my reward."

"Where is the inheritance you promised?"

The old man said angrily: "I gave you myself as a reward, what else do you want? How do you know that you didn't get the inheritance?"
