Chapter 61 A Beautiful Dream

"These are all second-grade high-quality pills, senior brother. With these pills, we can break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

We still have a sliver of a chance to get gold, senior brother…”

Upon entering the alchemy room, the two were greeted by a dense array of jade bottles, the rich aroma of elixirs filling the room and making their mouths water.

Dong Tao opened a jade bottle, and a dark brown pill resembling a longan was spinning around at the bottom of the bottle.

"A high-grade, second-tier Jade Fragrance Pill!"

Dong Tao subconsciously poured out a mouthful and swallowed it, the abundant spiritual energy flowing from his dantian to his limbs and bones.

He was shocked to discover as soon as he refined it that one pill was equivalent to several months of his arduous cultivation.

He looked up and around. The room was filled with countless jade bottles. He couldn't help but lick his lips. How many pills must there be? If he could refine them all, reaching the Golden Core stage wouldn't be out of the question.

Wang Miao's expression was filled with greed. He reached out to grab the jade bottle next to him, but his other hand was faster.

"Junior brother, these pills are mine."

Dong Tao triumphantly opened the jade bottle and gulped down the contents.

"Senior brother, you're too greedy."

Wang Miao looked at Dong Tao, whose body was swollen from consuming a large number of pills, with resentment in his eyes, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

"Junior brother, this is our chance to make money. Everyone looks out for themselves..."

Dong Tao spoke triumphantly, but suddenly his expression froze, his head drooped with difficulty, and a bull's tail knife pierced through his heart.

"Shishi...Junior Brother...you...you..."

He spat out blood, his finger trembling as he pointed at Wang Miao behind him, his eyes wide with disbelief. He seemed to have never expected Wang Miao to suddenly attack him.

"Senior brother, one person is enough for the gold, and you're getting too old. Why don't you give me the opportunity?"

Wang Miao stepped on Dong Tao's body and then forcefully pulled back the bull tail knife.

Along with the blood, small pebbles the size of fingertips spurted out.

"Clang clang clang..."

The pebbles struck the ground with a clear, ringing sound.

No, no, no!

Such a shocking scene made Wang Miao tremble. He raised his head with difficulty and looked around.

What were originally densely packed in the alchemy room were not jade bottles filled with pills, but rather rows of pebbles.

At this moment, the fragrance of cinnabar disappeared, and only the smell of decay and mold filled the surroundings.

Just then, he heard a cracking sound from the side. He quickly looked down and saw that Dong Tao's body was slowly sinking into the ground, as if it were being swallowed up by the ground.

"It's fake, it's fake, it's all fake!"

Wang Miao finally realized what was happening and frantically swung his magical weapon at the surroundings, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in both feet.

He quickly looked down and saw that his feet were being swallowed by the ground.

"what!"

Wang Miao let out a scream and slammed the magic weapon in his hand down hard on the ground.

The soil was flying everywhere, but there was nothing beneath the ground.

"Wang Miao, what are you doing? Morning class has started!"

Suddenly, he heard Dong Tao's voice. He looked up and saw Dong Tao, who still looked like a young man, greeting him.

"Senior brother?"

He looked around in confusion, then realized, "Ah! Aren't I inside the Qingming Sect?"

Did I have a dream before, or even a nightmare?

"Let's go, let's go to morning class!"

Wang Miao waved and followed Dong Tao to the mountaintop to listen to the morning lesson, feeling relaxed.

The scene shifts, and Wang Miao's body has been swallowed up, his last waving hand completely engulfed by the mud.

Only occasionally could one hear the chilling crunching sounds coming from underground.

"Wait a moment!"

Ouyang Yue suddenly stopped and turned to look at Xu Yuanlang with a serious expression.

"What about the others? What about those who came in before us?"

The entire cave was completely silent, as if it were empty, but that was impossible, as they had seen several groups of people enter it.

No matter how winding and secluded a path may be, it cannot completely block out sound. Moreover, the cultivators here are all here to search for treasure, so they cannot be so refined as to not cause any damage.

Before the two, the sea of ​​flowers remained, but the pavilions, towers, doors, and windows were tightly shut.

"Oh no, maybe I've made a mistake this time!"

A hint of regret flashed across Ouyang Yue's face as she glanced around.

"This might be a trap!"

"Don't even talk about it, it's definitely a trap. Let's escape while we still have a chance!"

Xu Yuanlang, looking nervous, turned to run away when he suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.

"That is..."

It was a well, and the air around the wellhead was trembling. He could feel a burst of hot air gushing out of the well.

Earth's core flames!

He almost instinctively realized that the flame was a rare and precious treasure.

If I can refine it and then combine it with the Dan Yan Qi and Xuan Hui Qi in my hand, I will definitely be able to create a fire-type natal magic weapon.

"Ouyang, the flames of the earth's core..."

He hurriedly turned to remind Ouyang Yue, unaware that his initial impatience to escape had been suppressed by the overwhelming joy he felt upon discovering the Earth's core flames.

Just then, the leaves of the seven-colored flower trembled, and a cool sensation rushed through his body and mind.

Then the world he had been seeing suddenly disappeared; there was no well, and no subterranean flame.

The place he pointed to was just a large pit, a pit that buried countless corpses. As if realizing that he had seen through him, the pit closed with a bang.

"Is this cave dwelling alive?"

Xu Yuanlang suddenly had a terrifying thought, and then he felt a chill run down his spine and up to his brain.

"I saw it, I saw it..."

Ouyang Yue suddenly shouted excitedly, reaching out her finger to grab at the air, her excitement beyond words.

"Accept me, I'm accepted, I'm free, hahaha..."

Ouyang Yue shouted excitedly, uttering a few words indistinctly. Xu Yuanlang found it strange, wondering if she had been suppressed all along.

"Ouyang, wake up! Wake up! There's nothing there, nothing exists! This is a trap! We have to get out of here!"

He grabbed Ouyang Yue's shoulders and shook her, but found it had no effect. At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Beautiful dreams are rare, and beautiful dreams are hard to wake from. Why not just fall asleep? Why stay awake!"

A man in black appeared behind him without him noticing.

"Who are you?"

"A remnant soul that needs a body!"
