I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Dust settled.

Han Yi cautiously walked in the midst of this newly fallen Sacred Land Fragment, his wariness even more intense than when he faced the ambush of the three Gold Core cultivators.

According to the rumors, tens of thousands of years ago, long before Daqian ruled this region, Yuan Lao Sacred Land was an even more powerful place than Yujing Mountain and Stars Sea. There were several Spirit Transformation experts and it once stood at the peak of the power in Yu Heng World.

However, its power made it fearless, and for some reason, it offended a powerful cultivator.

The name and origin of that cultivator are beyond investigation.

According to some records passed down from that time, within one day, the entire Yuan Lao Sacred Land was leveled. All the cultivators inside disappeared without a trace, as if they had seen a ghost.

Countless cultivators came to investigate, coming and going, and even Spirit Transformation experts personally investigated. But their faces were solemn, and they left without saying a word, holding caution and fear towards this place.

After tens of thousands of years.

Only then did spirit light fell from the sky above the leveled holy ground, and the first spatial crack appeared. The first piece of Sacred Land Fragment fell from the crack, causing a sensation in the Cultivation World and attracting countless cultivators to treasure hunt.

Over the next thousand years, fragments fell intermittently, forming today’s Yuan Lao Mountain Range.

As Han Yi walked, his eyes suddenly brightened as he saw an open palace. There were also formations and restrictions in the Sacred Land Fragment.

Many formations required powerful cultivators to break through. Han Yi could try some of them with the Demonic Dagger.

If the palace was open, it might not have any formations.

However, Han Yi remained cautious. With the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword hovering above his head and holding the Demonic Dagger, he approached the palace. Using the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword to clear the way, he cautiously crossed the space ten meters ahead. If there were any formations, they would be encountered first, allowing time for Han Yi to react.

However.

As he expected, there was no formation restriction in this open palace.

A moment later.

Han Yi walked out of the palace with an excited light dancing in his eyes. In this palace, there were not many treasures and no Artifact Level weapons. However, there were more than a dozen bottles of pills and a few first-stage and second-stage spiritual talismans. In addition, there were many Jade Butterflies. Han Yi didn’t have time to look at them in detail and simply stored them all in his Qiankun Ring.

However.

What Han Yi found strange was that he didn’t find any spirit stones, not even a single low-grade one. He also didn’t find the bodies of any cultivators.

This unusual situation made him feel both excited and uneasy, even more on guard.

Leaving the palace, Han Yi continued to delve deeper into the fallen fragment. This time, there were no more open palaces. With the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword to test and the Demonic Dagger to break the restrictions, Han Yi successively broke into three palaces. He entered and obtained countless pills, spiritual talismans, magical instruments, array plates, Jade Butterflies, and books of unknown material.

These gams delighted Han Yi in his heart, no wonder so many people gathered in the Yuan Lao Mountain Range, waiting for the day when a piece of the Sacred Land Fragment suddenly falls so they could be the first fisherman to dig the first pot of gold.

With ecstatic excitement, his figure flickered and he used the Demonic Dagger to cut open the fifth palace. Suddenly, a spiritual force attacked, instantly blasting him away.

However, this spiritual force was not persistent. It was just a one-time attack and its intention was not to hurt, but merely to repel.

“That was close.”

Han Yi’s face changed.

However, after the spiritual force that repelled him dissipated, the formation covering the palace disappeared.

Han Yi commanded the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword, pushed the palace door open, and slowly walked inside.

This palace was already in a relatively inner position.

The palace was not small, larger than the four palaces he had visited before.

Palace size, to a certain extent, represented the status of the cultivators who lived within it and indirectly indicated the possible strength of the treasures hidden within.

Han Yi cautiously walked through the palace, but wherever he passed, it was spotlessly clean with no treasures, leaving him puzzled.

He walked deeper into the palace until he reached three closed chambers at the end of the palace.

Han Yi controlled the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword and gently pushed open the door of the first chamber. The room was empty except for a few pieces of furniture and nothing else.

Next, he opened the second door in the same manner and found the same result.

When he pushed open the third door, Han Yi’s eyes flashed with horror, and he immediately controlled the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword to strike. At the same time, fear surfaced on his face.

That was because he saw a cultivator sitting cross-legged on a cushion directly facing the door.

This was not what frightened Han Yi the most – the real shock was that this seated cultivator suddenly opened his eyes the moment the door was pushed open.

A pair of silver eyes stared directly at Han Yi.

This was not the outside world.

This was a fragment of the Yuan Lao Sacred Land, separated by tens of thousands of years. Even if there were any cultivators, they should have been long dead by now, yet this one could still open his eyes.

Feeling as if he had seen a ghost, Han Yi’s instinctive attack was purely out of fear.

However.

To his surprise, the seated cultivator only opened his eyes but did not make any other moves. As the Seven-Star Kunwu Sword struck his body, his body was blasted away and slammed into the wall, destroying the chamber.

The Seven-Star Kunwu Sword was also knocked back. Han Yi summoned it in front of him and saw that the tip of this lower-grade artifact given by the Emperor had bent to the side. This was the result of hitting something extremely hard, causing a change in its physical structure..
