Myth Beyond Heaven

The city bustled with activity, a stark contrast to the desolate wasteland surrounding it. Cultivators of various races and factions thronged the streets, their voices creating a cacophony of sound. Stalls lined the walkways, displaying a dizzying array of goods- weapons, armor, talismans, herbs, and even strange artifacts Yun Lintian couldn't identify.

Many eyes followed Yun Lintian and Qingqing as they navigated the crowded streets, their gazes filled with a mixture of curiosity, envy, and greed. Sensing their ill intentions, Qingqing instinctively moved closer to Yun Lintian, her small hand gripping his tightly. If these people didn't know about her terrifying strength, they would think she was afraid of them.

Yun Lintian ignored the greedy gazes, his focus fixed on finding a place to exchange his spoils for Spirit Beads. After spending some time on the battlefield, he knew how precious the beads were. They were arguably the most important resource for survival here.

He soon found himself in the market district, where numerous shops and stalls displayed a variety of goods. He entered a shop that seemed to specialize in trading rare materials, its shelves lined with strange and exotic items.

The shopkeeper, a wizened old man with a shrewd glint in his eyes, greeted Yun Lintian with a polite smile. "Welcome, young master. What treasures do you bring today?"

Yun Lintian displayed the items he had collected during his journey - the decaying beast cores, the fragmented weapons, and the various herbs and minerals he had found in the hidden oases.

The shopkeeper examined each item carefully, his eyes occasionally widening in surprise. "My, my," he muttered, "you've acquired quite a collection. Some of these items are quite rare, even in this battlefield."

After a thorough appraisal, the shopkeeper offered Yun Lintian ninety Spirit Beads. Yun Lintian, satisfied with the offer, completed the transaction.

With his newfound wealth, Yun Lintian decided to explore the city further, hoping to gain a better understanding of this hidden society and perhaps find clues about his missing companions.

He noticed that many shops specialized in selling pills and elixirs, their shelves displaying a colorful array of bottles and jars. He recalled Rui Xian's words about the importance of resources in this energy-depleted environment and realized that pills could be a valuable commodity.

"Maybe I can try?" An idea sparked in Yun Lintian's mind. He was a skilled alchemist, capable of concocting potent pills and elixirs. Perhaps he could use his skills to create valuable medicines and trade them for Spirit Beads, ensuring his and Qingqing's survival and progress in this challenging realm.

He entered a shop specializing in alchemical ingredients, his eyes scanning the shelves for familiar herbs and minerals. The shopkeeper, a middle-aged woman with a keen eye for quality, noticed Yun Lintian's interest.

"Looking for something specific, young master?" she inquired, her voice carrying a hint of curiosity.

Yun Lintian nodded. "I'm an alchemist. I'm looking for high-quality ingredients to concoct some pills."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. Alchemists were highly respected in the Ancient Battlefield, their skills invaluable for creating medicines that could aid in cultivation and recovery.

"An alchemist!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with respect. "We rarely see skilled alchemists in these parts. Please, tell me what you need. I have a wide variety of ingredients, some of which are unique to this battlefield."

Yun Lintian's interest piqued. "Unique to this battlefield?" He hadn't seen any unfamiliar herbs during his journey so far. Perhaps he had been too focused on finding his companions and hadn't paid enough attention to his surroundings.

"Indeed," the shopkeeper nodded, her eyes gleaming with pride. "The Ancient Battlefield is a peculiar place, young master. The chaotic energy here, combined with the remnants of fallen gods and divine beasts, has given rise to unique and potent ingredients. They possess properties unlike anything you'd find in the outside world."

She gestured towards a shelf lined with shimmering jars, each containing strange and exotic herbs. "Take these, for example. They are Soul Nourishing Grass and Spirit Condensing Flowers, known for their ability to enhance the divine soul and accelerate cultivation, respectively. They only grow in areas with a high concentration of divine energy and remnants of divine beings, making them incredibly rare and valuable."

Yun Lintian was surprised. He had never encountered such herbs before. Their potent aura and unique properties intrigued him, sparking a desire to experiment and explore their potential.

"I see," he said, his voice filled with curiosity. "Could you show me some recipes for pills that utilize these unique ingredients?"

The shopkeeper smiled. "Of course, young master. It would be my pleasure to share some of our knowledge with a skilled alchemist like yourself."

She retrieved a thick scroll from a hidden compartment behind the counter and unfurled it before Yun Lintian. The scroll contained detailed recipes for various pills, each utilizing a combination of familiar and unfamiliar ingredients.

"However, I may need to collect some fees." She said further.

"No problem." Yun Lintian nodded.

He studied the recipes carefully, his mind working to understand the complex interactions and properties of the unique ingredients. He noticed that the pills described in the scroll were different from the ones he knew, their effects more potent, their refinement process more

intricate.

"These pills..." he muttered, his brow furrowing in thought, "they seem to be specifically tailored to the conditions of this battlefield."

The shopkeeper nodded. "Indeed, young master. The pills we concoct here are designed to address the challenges cultivators face in this energy-depleted environment. They focus on enhancing the divine soul, accelerating cultivation, and replenishing divine energy, all while utilizing the unique properties of the battlefield's ingredients."

"Well, many thanks." Yun Lintian thanked the shopkeeper for her generosity and purchased the ingredients listed in the recipes, eager to experiment and explore the potential of these unique herbs and minerals.

After finding an inn to settle down, Yun Lintian entered the cultivation chamber and laid out his ingredients, carefully studying the recipes once more.

He began the concoction process, his hands moving with practiced precision, yet with a newfound sense of wonder and excitement. He channeled his divine energy, guiding the transformation of the ingredients, his senses heightened, attuned to the subtle changes and reactions taking place within the alchemical cauldron.

As he worked, he noticed that the unique ingredients possessed a certain resistance to his divine energy, their chaotic nature making them difficult to refine. However, Yun Lintian had

a secret weapon-the Tree of Life.

Hours passed, he completed the concoction. Before him lay several vials filled with shimmering pills, each radiating a potent aura of life and energy, their quality far surpassing

anything he had created before.

"This should be enough." Yun Lintian said and prepared to sell them.
