As he reached halfway up the volcano, Lin Yi suddenly noticed the eruption stopped, and the magma about to spew from the crater retreated back inside.

Even the giant bird of flame in the sky flapped its wings and gradually flew away.

Seeing this, he showed a relief on his face. It was fortunate that he didn’t wait in place, otherwise, it would just be a waste of time.

Without the threat of the volcano’s eruption, Lin Yi employed all his speed and raced towards the crater.

Upon reaching the crater, he carefully peered inside. He could see that the magma had completely retreated, revealing the inside of the volcano.

However, with the magma having just retreated, the surrounding temperature was still high, and some rocks were still dripping with magma.

Lin Yi waited for a while before activating the Wind Transformation

Technique and slowly descended into the volcano. As the ability made him float, he slowly descended and saw the scenery inside the crater.

The constant eruption of magma had created a dazzling array of colors on the inner rocks, quite striking. It was his first time entering a volcano and seeing its interior.

On the rocks, he could see scorch marks left by the immense heat of the magma. It was a truly awe-inspiring sight.

According to the Secret Realm Manual, the Alchemy Room was located at the very bottom of the volcano, to harness the power of the Earth Core Fire.

The Medicine Garden inside the volcano was also located at the bottom and was likely inaccessible.

As Lin Yi slowly descended, he admired the stunning landscape inside. He was not worried that the magma below would suddenly erupt again.

While the timing of the volcano’s eruptions was uncertain, there was usually a respite period of several days to months after each eruption.

As he descended deeper into the volcano, the internal temperature increased. He circulated his spiritual power to form a defensive shield to maintain his comfort.

Soon, Lin Yi reached the bottom of the volcano. The space at the bottom was larger than he imagined.

Inside, he could even see the magma constantly bubbling in a pit, with no signs of eruption.

When he was descending, he felt high temperatures, but when he reached where the magma was, it wasn’t as hot. It seemed that a formation had been set up inside the volcano to isolate the heat.

He looked around and noticed some fire elemental Spirit Grass grown to the left of the magma pit. Some of the fruits even seemed to bear traces of burning flames.

These Spirit Grass were exceptionally precious treasures for fire attribute cultivators.

Lin Yi approached the Medicine Garden and tried to enter, only to meet an invisible barrier. It seemed that, like the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, these Spirit Grass were beyond reach for Qi Refining Level Nine Cultivators in the Secret Realm.

He didn’t waste any more time attempting to enter. Instead, he turned his attention to the other side of the magma pit, where he found a familiar little grass house with nothing else nearby.

However, a look of delight appeared on Lin Yi’s face. For this little grass house was the Alchemy Room. It may look simple, but it contained great mysteries.

He slowly walked towards the grass house. The memories within the Dan

God’s Cave Mansion would all be erased and could only be vaguely

remembered. But, the Alchemy Room was different; Its memories would stay clear.

Thus, the Secret Realm Manual contained detailed information about the Alchemy Room. Once the Secret Realm activated the Alchemy Room, whoever arrived there first could be the first to accept the challenge.

The challenge was alchemy. One would be randomly given a set of raw materials to refine a dan medicine that suits Qi Refining Cultivators. The higher the quality of the pill, the better the reward.

Once the challenge was passed, one could enter the Alchemy Room to select a reward. The quality of the refined pill would determine what one could choose.

It was said that people had seen the God Refining Pill in the Alchemy Room, which could aid in the Nascent Soul Breakthrough to Divinity Transformation – it was the dan medicine that the Nascent Soul Ancestors of all sects wanted the most.

Moving from the Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation is a qualitative leap, with immense difficulty involved in breaking through. With the God Refining Pill, their chances of success can be significantly increased. Especially if the pill is refined by Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan, its quality would undoubtedly be the best of the best.

After approaching the Alchemy Room, Lin Yi felt the surroundings rapidly changing. It seemed he had arrived in a cave. Judging by the rocks above him, he was still within the volcano.

There was an Alchemy Furnace and some materials next to him. Other than these, he couldn’t see a single person or hear any prompts.

Lin Yi walked to the Alchemy Furnace and swept over the materials with his gaze. The crucial ingredient was a red Fire Element Spirit Grass. It appeared that a Spirit Fire Pill was to be refined, which would be beneficial to Qi Refining practitioners with Fire Element skills.

This was indeed the limit of what Qi Refining cultivators could refine, and the difficulty was enormous. However, it was within his expectations.

Since each Alchemy Room was located in a different area, the pill to be refined would share properties with the characteristics of the area.

Every Alchemy Room test was the same for all cultivators, and it was very challenging. If they wanted to get the benefits of the Alchemy Room, they had to have some real abilities.

The difficulty of making a Spirit Fire Pill was greater than that of other elemental Pills because Fire Element, an unstable element, required absolute control to blend Fire Element Spirit Grass with other materials to form a pill.

Even the slightest oversight could lead to the failure of the alchemy process and cause the furnace to explode.

In front of him now lay five sets of materials. Only five attempts were allowed. If all attempts ended in failure, it would mean that he had no chance of getting the treasures from the Alchemy Room.

In the test of the Alchemy Room, only dan medicine of middle grade or above would be accepted. Anything inferior in the eyes of Dan God Zhang Dao Xuan, would be seen as trash.

Lin Yi glanced at his waist. His storage bag had disappeared. During the test, one could only refine using the materials provided. It was impossible to bring your materials to warm up.

He glanced at the Alchemy Furnace in front of him. Refining would now solely depend on Earth Fire. After his alchemy title leveled up to third level, he practiced a few times in the Pill Refining Workshop within the inner sect Heavenly Cloud Immortal City.

This was a place solely for Inner Sect practitioners to refine pills using Earth Fire. Of course, the rental fee was exorbitant, but it afforded him the opportunity to familiarize himself with Earth Fire, and was thus worth it.

Lin Yi placed his hand on the Alchemy Furnace. In his mind, several controlling spells emerged. First, he channeled his Spiritual Power into the base of the Alchemy Furnace. Instantly, a flame erupted, revealing an extraordinary aura.

The Earth Fire in the Dan God Secret Realm was far superior to the Earth Fire in the Heavenly Cloud Immortal City.

He began to slowly control the Earth Fire, familiarising himself with its properties. Rushing into alchemy could easily lead to failure.

After six hours, Lin Yi had fully grasped the characteristics of Earth Fire, and he then plunged into deep thought.

There were two options now. He could directly enter into the Minor Blessing State and start refining, or he could initially refine with his actual abilities.

While a failure could potentially provide a chance for enlightenment, he could stack up enlightenment opportunities till the fourth failure and then rely on the effect of the Minor Blessing State to carry out the final refining process.

Failure didn’t necessarily mean causing the furnace to explode. Even if a batch of materials could have produced twenty pills but only resulted in ten in the end, it would still be considered a failure, providing an opportunity for enlightenment.

According to the Secret Realm Manual, the number of refinements seemed to have no influence on the reward. The reward would be based on the highest quality pill produced in five attempts. Of course, the number of pills produced was also within the scope of reward evaluation.

However, Lin Yi had his own thoughts. If he were to succeed in his first attempt within the five opportunities, it would surely enhance the evaluation score, even if only as an implicit score.

His purpose of entering the secret realm was to enter the Dan God’s Cave Mansion, to seek the opportunity to inherit the Dan God’s legacy.

The inheritance of the Dan God would never just fall into anyone’s lap. There must be unimaginable trials involved.

He speculated that the evaluation was not only based on the task of taking care of Spirit Grass in the Cave Mansion. The test of the Alchemy Room might be a part of it too.

So, if he wanted to acquire the inheritance, he would have to perform excellently in each test..
