Chapter 403 Soul Palace Master

"Who are you?" Although Xiao Yan felt a little sympathetic towards this little licker, he couldn't provoke him, otherwise...

"Song Qing...a disciple of the great elder of Danta. I have long heard that Mr. Xiao Yan performed extremely well in the assessment of the five major families. It is no wonder that he is living up to his reputation when we meet today." The man in black stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile.

Seeing Song Qing being so polite, although only on the surface, Xiao Yan was still ready to extend his hand.

But just when Xiao Yan was about to reach out his hand, he suddenly felt several powerful auras coming out of the soul illusion.

Xiao Yan looked at these people who were wrapped in black and exuding a gloomy and terrifying aura, and frowned slightly. Xiao Yan was very familiar with this appearance. They were the people from the Soul Palace.

"It looks like the trip to Dan Realm will not go smoothly." Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't respond for a long time, Song Qing felt a little embarrassed and had to retract his outstretched hand.

"Haha, Mr. Xiao Yan doesn't like shaking hands with others!" Cao Ying chuckled when she saw that Song Qing was also embarrassed in front of Xiao Yan just like she was in the past.

However, Xiao Yan's attention was on these men in black robes at the moment, so he didn't notice them at all.

Under Xiao Yan's gaze, one of the black-robed men walked up to Xiao Yan and whispered, "Hehehe, I advise you to leave immediately. Once you enter the Dan Realm, your life and death will not be in your hands."

“Haha, it’s you who should be careful. I didn’t kill you last time, and you escaped with your life. You won’t be so lucky today.” Xiao Yan curled his lips into a sneer. The one who dared to directly provoke him was the old man Mu Gu who had luckily survived.

"Then let's wait and see!" Seeing that Xiao Yan was still stubborn, old man Mu Gu did not bother him too much. After all, he brought a lot of helpers this time.

Seeing that Xiao Yan's attention was focused on this group of black-robed men, Cao Ying frowned slightly, and then her expression suddenly changed. She was not unfamiliar with families like Cao Ying in the Soul Palace.

However, these big families in Zhongzhou regard the Soul Palace as a stink bug in the sewer and do not want to encounter it at all. Moreover, the people in the Soul Palace have a special liking for alchemists. In order to obtain the soul of the alchemist, all despicable means can be used. Once you are targeted by the people of the Soul Palace, you can't even sleep well.

As time passed, more and more alchemists walked out of the soul environment. Those who passed the first level of the assessment basically kept a certain distance from others and were alert to everything around them.

Although this alchemy conference is secretly guarded by many powerful people, many alchemists are ambushed every year. In the worst case, they lose their qualification for the assessment. It is well known that many alchemists are killed or injured in every alchemy conference.

When no one had walked out of the soul environment for most of the day, an old man in ordinary clothes came slowly towards us riding a dark turtle.

With the arrival of the old man, everyone who had been dozing finally opened their eyes and looked at the old man in front of them. "It's almost time to enter the Dan Realm. Everyone who enters the Dan Realm will come to me to receive a task list, a map of the Dan Realm, and a space stone. Only after collecting the herbs on the task list can you be considered to have passed this level." The old man looked around at everyone and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly lined up and took the things they needed to enter the Dan Realm from the old man one by one.

After everyone received their gifts, the old man stroked his beard and spoke again: "I believe everyone knows the function of the map, so I won't say much. As for the space stone, it is used to save lives. There are not only ferocious monsters in the Dan Realm, but also many people who choose to eliminate their opponents in order to achieve the final victory. If you encounter irresistible trouble, don't hesitate, just crush the space stone. Because sometimes, the opponent may not give you time to crush the space stone."

After hearing the old man's warning, everyone nodded. The monsters in the Dan world were much more powerful than those in the outside world.

Of course, as the old man said, although the monsters are very powerful, the biggest danger is not the monsters but humans!
After the old man warned everyone, he looked at the group of people wrapped in black clothes and frowned slightly. Although he wanted to drive these people from the Soul Palace out, the rules of the Alchemy Association did not allow it, so he could only remind them as much as possible. After all, most of the alchemists in previous Alchemy Associations died at the hands of the Soul Palace, because the Soul Palace liked the souls of alchemists the most.

"You only have ten days to search for the medicinal herbs needed for the mission, because the Dan Realm is very dilapidated and not suitable for staying for a long time. Without further ado, those who want to quit can quit now, and those who don't want to quit can go through the space channel and enter the Dan Realm!" The old man looked around at everyone and pointed at the space channel behind him and said.

Although what the old man said was very dangerous, those who came to participate in the alchemy meeting felt that they were fully prepared and were very clear about the levels of the alchemy meeting, so no one was willing to withdraw, and one by one they stepped directly into the space channel.

Xiao Yan also stepped into the space channel with everyone else. After staying in the space channel for a while, he passed through a light curtain and entered the Dan Realm.

Looking at the endless plain, magical beasts appeared from time to time on the plain, but there was no other people here, because although they came in from the same passage, they came out from different places. This was done intentionally by Danta in order to prevent those with ulterior motives from taking direct action.

“It’s not bad here! There is plenty of energy, although it’s a bit violent, but it’s not a problem for the Yin and Yang Flames!” Xiao Yan’s lips curled up into a smile. The energy that kept surging in from all around made Xiao Yan feel very comfortable.

Suddenly, a ferocious lion jumped out from the bushes, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Xiao Yan's head.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows as he felt the bloody energy coming from behind him. He had already noticed this monster that had advanced to level seven, but he did not care. He thought that this monster would retreat in the face of difficulty. After all, level seven monsters already had strong intelligence. Generally speaking, in the outside world, they would definitely stay away from those they could not defeat.

But it is different in the Dan Realm. Although the monsters are much more powerful than those in the outside world, their intelligence is far inferior.

Xiao Yan turned around and waved his hand. A terrifying energy burst out and shot directly into the lion's head, smashing it to pieces. Then he picked up the magic core that fell on the ground and put it into his ring. As an alchemist, collecting magic cores has become a habit for him. He doesn't want to throw away even the first-level magic cores, after all, they can still be used for experiments.

After the little episode was over, Xiao Yan directly took out the task list from the storage ring, checked the medicinal materials that needed to be collected, put the task list away, then took out the map and found several small dots on the map. These small dots were the locations of the medicinal materials.
