--- Chapter 187 ---

Baek Ain sat down on the grass alongside the three leaders of the Ancient Clans' expedition teams. They observed the surroundings and chatted about the method to gain Bodhisattva Heart and Seeds.

They aren't confident about getting Bodhisattva Heart, but Bodhisattva Seed is more 'idealistic' to grasp and still has the effect of turning talent into Dou Saint with enough nurturing.

Dou Saint is a strategic force any super factions in the Central Plains should have, after all.

The more Dou Saint they have, the better it would be for them.

"Anyway, what is the effect of 'that' thing?" Baek Ain asked the three leaders.

Gu Yuan, Yao Dan, and Huo Ling froze on the spot and laughed at his question.

"It's the best." Yao Dan said while giving Baek Ain a thumbs-up. "If it wasn't for the limited number of 'that' things, my Yao Clan would be blossoming in just ten, no-! Five years are enough for us."

Huo Ling snorted at Yao Dan's shameless boasting, "Five years, you said?"

"You're wasting such a precious thing."

"What do you know? We are not barbarians like you fellows." Yao Dan crossed his arms indignantly.

Huo Ling's eyes lit up in slight anger as she whispered, "Say that again... I dare you."

Yao Dan felt threatened and swayed his head, saying no further about this matter.

"Hmph, I thought so." The fiery elder of the Yan Clan crossed her arms.

Even if Yao Dan is the patriarch of the Yao Clan, Huo Ling wouldn't back down because of his status. He's only slightly better and a powerful alchemist compared to others.

Meanwhile, the Baek Ain's disciples are watching them with wide-opened mouths.

Is this really a conversation between powerhouses that could turn Central Plains upside down?

Even Baek Ain didn't think they would be this casual.

'I'm sure my parasites are currently dormant.' Baek Ain's mouth twitched slightly.

Gu Yuan sipped tea from a bamboo container and smiled, enjoying the atmosphere.

He glanced at Baek Ain and said, "Thanks for the thing, Grandma Lin."

"I had to say your achievement is something I, no, we never thought of even possible."

"You completely shattered our view about the standard."

"If possible, I'd like to know where you find and learn such an otherworldly skill."

After saying that, Gu Yuan's eyes seemingly pierced Baek Ain from top to bottom.

"Are you perhaps learning this from the Sage of Medicine?"

Sage of Medicine is Dou God-level expert from the ancient of time and known for his mastery over alchemy. Besides him, Gu Yuan couldn't think of any person with beyond 'common sense' level of skill.

Baek Ain obviously knows about 'Sage of Medicine' because he was one of Yao Man's idols. As Baek Ain inherited Yao Man's memory, he also inherited his idols.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuan's guess is dead wrong.

What Baek Ain has achieved to this day is the result of continuous 'Trial and Error' runs. Of course, his foundation started with Yao Man's memory, which is very solid. Even then, Yao Man's memory doesn't diminish Baek Ain's hard work and effort.

Baek Ain might have Yao Man's memory, but he didn't have Yao Man's touch.

"You overthink it." Baek Ain didn't confirm nor deny Gu Yuan's question.

Gu Yuan raised his brows before nodding in understanding. Even though he wanted to know more about Baek Ain's alchemy, he wasn't the type of person who snuffed around people's secrets.

If possible, he wants to keep the relationship with Baek Ain tight.

After all, Baek Ain is the only 10th-tier Tier Alchemist in the Dou Qi Continent.

'Thankfully, Xun'er is his disciple.' Gu Yuan thought to himself, sipping his tea.

He glanced at his daughter and pondered if she could become closer to Baek Ain, or even marry him. It was a despicable thought, but he genuinely saw that his daughter was happy around Baek Ain.

It's like killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, Gu Yuan wasn't the only one thinking this way.

Yao Dan and Huo Ling also like how the heiresses of their clans are close to Baek Ain.

"Teacher, what should we do when we go inside?" Yao Ling'er asked as she came closer to Baek Ain.

Baek Ain was about to open his mouth when a change happened in their surroundings.

Rumble!

Rumble!

All of a sudden, the ground trembled violently.

The natural barrier around the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree cracked and crumbled slowly into light particles.

Baek Ain frowned because the barrier disappeared too quickly. He used Origin Ashen Eyes and glanced around, finding the reason behind this sudden development.

'Don't tell me...' Baek Ain chuckled helplessly.

At that moment, the mysterious female cultivator is waving her hand and causing the barrier to be disarray with force. Her power is something Baek Ain couldn't comprehend at first, but Alicia told him she was limited to Dou God Realm due to the Low-Plane's laws.

Since the mysterious female cultivator probably isn't interested in the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's treasures, her intention is most likely.

[She probably wants to find amusement, Host-!] Alicia casually commented.

'Wow, thanks for stating that, Alicia. It helps me a bunch.' Baek Ain rolled his eyes.

[And that amusement is you] Alicia finished her words.

"..." Baek Ain.

[When you were fighting the Southern Dragon King, she has been watching from afar and interested in your particular abilities]]

[I mean, in essence, you're a walking cheat]

[Well, she's not hostile... For now]

"Stay three meters close to me!" Baek Ain hurriedly warned his disciples.

"Mm!" The three ladies nodded as they stood near him.

At the same time, Baek Ain also warned his lovers about this 'higher realm' problem.

They listened well and heightened their danger sense.

"Hahaha, the barrier is finally gone!" Someone laughed in excitement.

"Bodhisattva Heart is mine!"

Everyone was alerted by the person as they panicked and ran toward the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

Unknown to them, the horror is just about to get started.

Countless people swarmed the area, stepping near grass near the legendary tree.

'Fools!' Baek Ain and other Dou Saints thought.

Did these people really think getting Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's treasures was easy?

If one could obtain a treasure without much effort, it wouldn't be a treasure!

And as expected.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

Several thick vines burst out of the ground and penetrated the greedy people. They got skewered and drained into a husk, making the onlookers shiver.

Blood sprayed everywhere, tainting the once-lush land with a crimson stream. Hundreds, if not thousands, died instantly.

Yao Ling'er and Gu Xun'er become pale as they have never witnessed so much death in seconds. They covered their mouths and gagged in fear.

Huo Zhi clenched her hand, "Too strong."

"Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is dangerous."

"But treasure always comes with danger..."

Unlike Yao Ling'er and Gu Xun'er, Huo Zhi has witnessed more ugly sides of the world and calmed herself down faster.

Baek Ain used his Soul Force and calmed his two disciples, "From now on, I want you three to clear all your thoughts from greed."

"What you need to do in upcoming trials is a firm heart and a clean state of mind."

"You need experience, so leave the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's matter to me." Baek Ain flashed a smile at them. The disciples nodded, standing even closer to him now.

Baek Ain counted down the real-time barrier's disappearance and walked forward, "Follow me."

Several people followed Baek Ain, wandering to the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree carefully.

They entered the perimeter of closeness that caused people to die, causing countless onlookers to close their eyes unconsciously.

"Huh?" No sounds of screaming were 'actually' heard.

They opened their eyes and saw Baek Ain's group arriving at the entrance of Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's roots. Their eyes widened in shock.

"H-How?"

"Go, chase them!"

"Fuck, why did I close my eyes before..."

"Anyone remember the path they took??"

Baek Ain and his companions ignored these ignorant people, entering the roots. What greeted them was a flashing white light.

A second later, they discovered themselves standing on an island surrounded by a muddy ocean.

A booming ancient voice echoed in their heads.

"Welcome to the Isle of Bodhisattva."

"First Trial, Chasing Dream."

Baek Ain smirked, 'The woman... She even modified the trial.'

'Fine, I'll play along with your little game.'
