I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 312 - 310: Found It

Under Hui Hui’s guidance, the three of them quickly arrived at the Star Beast Forest outside of Cuihuan City.

Hui Hui closed her eyes to sense something, then pointed with her chubby hand towards the forest, speaking with assuredness: "Head east for five hundred miles."

Chu Yunyi activated the flying device’s Stealth Mode, quietly heading towards the location Hui Hui indicated.

His flying device was the most advanced model reserved for senior officers, and just the Beast Avoidance Talisman engraved on its surface alone was worth billions of star coins. Navigating it through the Star Beast Forest could greatly reduce the chances of being attacked by Star Beasts.

Li Xing, looking at Hui Hui’s profile that closely resembled Crayon Shin-chan, couldn’t help but ask curiously: "Hui Hui, how do you know the location of the realm core stone?"

The Ye Family was right in Cuihuan City, and more than twenty days ago, they had teamed up with several other prominent families in Cuihuan City to comb through the entire forest outside the city without finding anything unusual. However, looking at Hui Hui’s certain expression, it did not seem like she was making baseless claims, so Li Xing was really curious about how she determined the realm core stone was here.

Hui Hui shook her head and said: "After advancing to the next level, I remembered many things, including something about the realm core stone."

Li Xing was extremely surprised: "Have you seen the realm core stone before?"

Hui Hui’s face showed an unexpected sadness for her age, and she replied sullenly: "Of course I have because the realm core stone belonged to my previous master!"

"Could it be that your former master was one of the thirty-six sages?"

Hui Hui shot Li Xing a look that seemed to say "Are you underestimating me?" and said softly: "The thirty-six sages weren’t even qualified to be my former master’s disciples; I don’t think much of them!"

Hui Hui originally intended to keep things mysterious, but seeing Li Xing’s eyes bright with the fire of gossip, unwaveringly watching her, she felt a burst of joy and spilled the whole story.

After finishing, Hui Hui spread her little hands, feeling quite smug: "You see, without me, you really wouldn’t be able to find the realm core stone."

Li Xing and Chu Yunyi, who was sitting in the pilot’s seat, both nodded in agreement. Who would have thought that the location of the realm core stone changes every six hours, and even if someone did find it within the month, by the time the news got back to the Heaven-Reaching Tower and Li Xing came to confirm it, dragging her sickly body, the realm core stone would have already moved to the next location, making it nearly impossible to find!

Li Xing said: "Immortal Monarch Wang Yao went through a lot of trouble to hide the realm core stone." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Hui Hui sighed: "It’s something that couldn’t be helped. Back then, the Mingmeng Clan’s transmission coordinates were intentionally altered to the Qianyuan Realm by experts from the Immortal Realm because they knew that Chaos Qi was the Mingmeng Clan’s nemesis. They set the human-demon battlefield at the Qianyuan Realm, so even if the Human Clan was defeated, the Mingmeng Clan would suffer irreversible impacts to their numbers and combat strength due to the corrosion of Chaos Qi. At that point, only a small elite force from the Human Clan would be needed to wipe out the Mingmeng Clan, achieving victory at minimal cost."

"Unfortunately, the Immortal Realm did not anticipate that the Qianyuan Realm would fracture due to the war. With no complete transmission channels, even if the Immortal Realm and other worlds wanted to send reinforcements to the Qianyuan Realm, it was impossible."

"My former master hid the realm core stone fearing that the Mingmeng Clan would figure out the reasoning behind it and find the realm core stone to destroy it. If the realm core stone was destroyed, the Qianyuan Continent would no longer be able to suppress the Mingmeng Clan with Chaos Qi. Once they fully recovered their powers and escaped to the outside world, the Human Clan would face total annihilation."

"My former master was injured in the great battle and suffered severe backlash from the fracturing of the Qianyuan Realm, which led to his fall. Before falling, he sealed me and the realm core stone separately. Luckily, my seal broke on its own, and I met you."

"Having been sealed for so long, my cultivation level regressed considerably, and I lost my memory until this recent advancement, when I remembered it all."

With tears welled up in her eyes, Hui Hui looked sorrowfully at Li Xing and said: "I’ve already lost one master. I don’t want to lose you too, so do your best. Find the realm core stone and cultivate well. This time, I’ll be the one waiting for you to come out!"

Li Xing embraced Hui Hui, gently patting her back and comforting her: "Don’t worry, I won’t let you down."

The five hundred miles passed quickly, and the trio disembarked from the flying device, proceeding on foot under Hui Hui’s direction.

In the depths of the forest, there were many high-level Star Beasts. Chu Yunyi deliberately exuded a sense of pressure, causing all beasts to cower under the presence of a strong cultivator. The journey proceeded smoothly, and they soon arrived at the location Hui Hui sensed.

A particularly robust banyan tree appeared before the trio. Its body was laden with nodules and burn scars left by celestial fire, all vividly showcasing its ancient age. Air roots as thick as pythons coiled around the main trunk, making it appear even larger, resembling the legendary Jianmu tree, reaching into the sky.

Seated on Chu Yunyi’s shoulder, Hui Hui directed him to circle the great tree once before finally pointing to a tree hole hidden amongst the air roots and said: "That’s the entrance! Once inside, you’ll see the transmission array Master Wang Yao left behind. Drip your blood on it, and you’ll be transported directly to the realm core stone."

As they were about to part, Chu Yunyi had countless words he wanted to say to Li Xing, but they only turned into a single sentence upon reaching his lips.

"Be careful in everything, I’ll be waiting for you to return!"

Li Xing smiled and waved, her wrist’s red stripes bright and dazzling. She took a deep look at Chu Yunyi and Hui Hui before parting the air roots and disappearing into the tree hole.

Li Xing’s figure vanished from sight, and Chu Yunyi felt as though a piece of his heart was missing. Though only separated by a tree, it felt as distant as an entire continent.

For a moment, he even wanted to follow Li Xing inside, but reason told him he couldn’t. Until Li Xing’s cultivation was fully restored, he needed to live well; that way, should she encounter danger within the barrier, she wouldn’t perish immediately.

The pair, big and small, stood before the ancient tree for a long time. It wasn’t until a barely detectable array fluctuation emanated from the tree that Hui Hui patted Chu Yunyi and said softly: "Let’s go back."

"I want to stay with her a little longer."

"Didn’t you feel the fluctuation just now? The barrier has already shifted elsewhere. Staying here won’t help your former master. It’s better to return early and cultivate. You’re now your former master’s blood bag; the stronger you are, the more secure your former master’s life, and you have a heavy responsibility, Lao Chu!"

Now understanding Hui Hui’s reasoning, Chu Yunyi no longer dared to delay and immediately turned back. Hui Hui sat on Chu Yunyi’s shoulder, and the harmonious silhouette of the large and small figures echoed with clear and crisp voices in the serene forest.

"Do you think Ah Xing successfully entered the barrier?"

"Of course, if she hadn’t entered, the protection array Master Wang Yao left behind would have mistaken her for a member of the Mingmeng Clan, and the entire forest would have been razed to the ground, instead of being so calm and peaceful now."

"...Why didn’t you warn her earlier about such a dangerous matter!"

"Would reminding her have mattered? No matter what, Li Xing would have entered the barrier, so it was better not to say anything and spare her the mental burden."

"...You’re right."

Hui Hui gave Chu Yunyi a look of disappointment, and said softly:

"Oh, Lao Chu, with the former master not present, can’t you restrain your romantic thoughts and focus on improving your cultivation?"

Chu Yunyi said: "During this time, Ah Xing has also taught me various mnemonics on refining spirit to transform energy and refining energy to transform divinity. I meditate and cultivate whenever I have time, not wasting any moment. It’s just that there’s no cultivation technique suitable for me from her, so I haven’t made any progress in Magic."

Hui Hui’s chin almost reached the sky, her voice full of pride: "Luckily! I have several great cultivation techniques left by my former master. I’ll pick a few for you when we get back!"

"Okay."

"You need to be more diligent, don’t think that just because you possess the Innate Holy Body you can be lazy. Once the former master refines the realm core stone, she’ll be incredibly powerful. Perhaps even immortals below the Heavenly Immortal Realm will have to bow to her; if you don’t measure up, beware she might not want you anymore!"

Chu Yunyi’s sense of urgency was suddenly heightened, and without waiting to find an open space, he activated the space button, tossed the flying device into the sky, grabbed Hui Hui, and quickly set off towards Tianyi City.
