Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

At this critical moment, a long howl suddenly rang out from the distance. The howl, like the resounding sound of a mighty bell, resounded through the heavens, imbued with a powerful spiritual force. Immediately afterwards, a figure streaked towards them like a meteor.

Everyone looked closely and found that it was Senior Sister Huang Yan.

Senior Sister Huang Yan's appearance was like a timely spring breeze, quickly dispelling the difficulties facing Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng. She was draped in a green robe, her figure graceful and powerful. The longsword in her hand shone sharply in the sunlight, its aura as clear as autumn water and piercing with a chilling chill.

With a flash of her body, she appeared on the battlefield in an instant, and with a single strike, she drove back the expert who attempted a sneak attack on Xue Tianhan. Senior Sister Huang Yan's swordsmanship was exquisite, each move as smooth as flowing water, yet imbued with unfathomable internal strength. Her swordsmanship was unpredictable and difficult to grasp, and wherever her blade pointed, her opponents retreated.

The men in black saw Huang Yan coming, their expressions changed slightly, and the leader made a quick decision, shouting in a low voice: "Retreat."

Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng looked at their senior sister's back and couldn't help but feel respect in their hearts. They understood that their senior sister's strength far exceeded theirs. If their senior sister had not appeared in time, their situation today would probably be very dangerous.

"Brothers, are you all alright?" Huang Yan asked with concern, a hint of anxiety in her eyes. She quickly came over to Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng, looking them up and down to see if they were injured.

"Thanks to Senior Sister's timely arrival, we're all fine," Xue Tianhan replied gratefully, quickly checking Ling Feng's injuries. His voice held a hint of relief at having survived, his heart overflowing with gratitude towards Senior Sister.

Although Ling Feng had suffered some minor injuries, he was not seriously injured. He smiled at Huang Yan, indicating that he was fine. That smile revealed a sense of strength and relief. He knew that as long as his senior sister was there, they would be safe.

"You two little guys are really worrying." Huang Yan sighed lightly, then took out the healing medicine from her arms and handed it to Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng, "Take it quickly and restore your strength. We have to leave here as soon as possible." There was a hint of blame and care in her tone, and her eyes were full of heartache for Xue Tianhan and the others.

Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng took the healing medicine and felt a warm current flowing through their bodies after taking it. Their injuries quickly improved. They knew that Senior Sister Huang Yan's appearance not only saved them from danger, but also gave them a chance to return to the sect safely.

"Sister, how did you end up here?" Ling Feng asked curiously. His eyes were filled with confusion and surprise. He didn't understand why his sister had arrived so promptly.

"I came out of retreat, and then I heard from my disciples that you were going to Flame Mountain to search for the Spiritual Fire. I was worried you might get into trouble, so I rushed over." Senior Sister Huang Yan explained, a hint of worry in her eyes. "It seems you encountered quite a bit of trouble during your training this time."

Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng looked at each other. They knew that this experience was indeed full of twists and turns, but at the same time it also made them learn a lot and grow a lot.

"Sister, we're fine. This training is a valuable experience for us," Xue Tianhan said firmly. His eyes revealed the perseverance and confidence of a grown man. Despite the hardships he had endured, his faith had only grown stronger.

Senior Sister Huang Yan nodded. She knew that although these two junior brothers were young, they both had extraordinary potential and strong will.

"In that case, we have to set off quickly. Tianhan, the news that you have obtained the Earth Flame has spread, and there will definitely be lawless people trying to seize your spiritual fire." As soon as Senior Sister Huang Yan finished speaking, she led Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng and quickly moved towards the direction of the sect.

She led the way, scanning the surroundings vigilantly, the long sword in her hand ready to be unsheathed at any time to ensure the safety of Xue Tianhan and the others.

Under the leadership of Senior Sister Huang Yan, they cleverly avoided possible dangers and returned to the sect smoothly.

After returning to the sect, Xue Tianhan and the others rested for a while. For the past few days, Xue Tianhan had been preoccupied with his alchemy plan. He knew that if he wanted to earn more spirit stones and quickly recover his strength, refining and selling elixirs was essential. And right now, he needed a suitable alchemy furnace.

One day, Xue Tianhan heard that a high-quality alchemy furnace might have appeared in the ghost market, and he couldn't help but feel moved. He found Senior Sister Huang Yan and Junior Brother Ling Feng and told them his idea.

Ling Feng immediately became excited when he heard this: "Ghost Market? It sounds mysterious and exciting. I'd like to go and see it for myself. But Tianhan, why did you buy the alchemy furnace?"

"What else can I do? I already have the spiritual fire, so of course I bought an alchemy furnace to make pills."

Senior Sister Huang Yan frowned slightly and said with some concern, "Oh, Junior Brother Tianhan, you can also make pills. Not bad, not bad. But the Ghost Market is full of mixed people, and there are many people with bad intentions. We must be careful when we go there."

Xue Tianhan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, we will be more careful. With you here, I believe that even if we encounter trouble, we can still overcome it."

So, the three of them went to the ghost market together.

The Ghost Market is located in a remote valley on the edge of Mount Shu, shrouded in a faint mist, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel. At the entrance, people come and go, and all kinds of cultivators shuttle through, most of them concealing their true appearance, unwilling to show their true face.

As soon as I stepped into the ghost market, all kinds of noisy sounds came into my ears, shouting and bargaining one after another.

"Take a look, take a look, this is a rare treasure. If you miss it, you will regret it for a thousand years!"

"Thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, for sale at a low price!"

Xue Tianhan and his companions walked slowly along the narrow street, carefully searching the stalls on both sides for traces of alchemy furnaces. However, after looking for a long time, most of them were ordinary alchemy furnaces that did not catch Xue Tianhan's eye at all.

At this time, a peddler with a wretched face came over and said with a smile: "Dear guests, are you looking for something? I might have what you want here."

Xue Tianhan asked, "Do you have a high-quality alchemy furnace?"

The peddler rolled his eyes and said mysteriously, "Yes, I do, but..." He deliberately dragged out his voice.

Ling Feng said impatiently, "But what? If you have it, just show it to me now, don't be so mysterious."

The vendor chuckled, "I spent a lot of effort to get this alchemy furnace, so the price is naturally high. Besides, I only trade with those who are destined to trade with me, so you must show your sincerity first."

Senior Sister Huang Yan looked at him warily. "You're talking about sincerity. Does that mean we have to give you money first? What if we give you money, but you can't produce a decent alchemy furnace?"

The vendor quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I'm reputable in this ghost market. Give me 500 spirit stones first, and I'll take you to see the alchemy furnace. If you're not satisfied, I'll return the spirit stones in full."

Xue Tianhan thought for a moment and decided it was worth a try, so he took out five hundred spirit stones and handed them to the vendor. The vendor took the spirit stones, a triumphant smile on his face, and led them through several alleys to a secluded courtyard.

In the courtyard stood a shabby-looking alchemy furnace, its exterior covered in dust and rust. Xue Tianhan approached, examining it carefully, feeling a faint sense of aversion. He released a trace of spiritual energy into the furnace, only to discover that its internal structure was extremely ordinary and could not withstand the high temperatures required to refine high-level elixirs.

Xue Tianhan's face darkened. "Is this the high-quality alchemy furnace you mentioned? How dare you deceive us!"

The vendor played dirty and said, "I didn't say it was high quality. You didn't ask clearly. This alchemy furnace may be ordinary, but it can be used. I won't return the spirit stones."

Ling Feng said angrily, "You are so shameless! You are clearly misleading us on purpose."

As he spoke, he drew his sword from its sheath and pointed a stream of sword energy at the vendor.

The vendor was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, shouting for help. In an instant, several burly men rushed out from all sides of the yard and surrounded them.

"Want to cause trouble in the ghost market? Why don't you find out whose territory this is!" a big man said viciously.

Senior Sister Huang Yan stepped forward, shielding Xue Tianhan and Ling Feng behind her. She said coldly, "You sold inferior goods as good ones, deceived us first, and now you dare to turn the tables on us?"

The two sides were deadlocked, the atmosphere tense. Just then, an old man slowly approached. He glanced at Xue Tianhan and the others, then at the alchemy furnace and the vendor, and sighed softly, "Trading in the Ghost Market requires both vision and luck, but you, the vendor, are really going a bit too far."

When the vendor saw the old man appear, he quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Elder, why are you here? These people are causing trouble here. Please help me."

The old man seemed oblivious to the vendor's complaints and excuses. He turned his gaze directly to Xue Tianhan, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "My friend, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament and a noble demeanor. I believe you are sincerely looking for an alchemy furnace, and not one of those people who fishes in troubled waters in the ghost market.

As it happens, I have an alchemy furnace here, which I accidentally found when I was traveling around the world and traversing various realms in my early years. Its quality may meet your picky requirements."

Upon hearing this, Xue Tianhan was overjoyed, as if a long drought had finally brought him a downpour. He quickly said, "Thank you, Elder. Where is this alchemy furnace?"

The old man raised his hand slightly, motioning them to follow him. He led them through the winding path of the courtyard and arrived at a secret room in the corner. The door of the secret room slowly opened, and a faint blue light shone out from it, like a lively spirit, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When everyone looked closely, they saw an alchemy furnace in the middle of the secret room. It had a simple and elegant shape and emitted a mysterious blue light.

Xue Tianhan only took one look at it, and with his extraordinary insight and profound attainments in alchemy, he immediately concluded that this furnace was no ordinary object.

Its material seems to be a rare spiritual iron in the world. The texture of the spiritual iron is extremely hard, as if it is condensed from the purest spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and it contains extremely rich spiritual power, like a sleeping spiritual energy treasure house.

The furnace is carefully engraved with dense and mysterious runes. Those runes seem to have life, emitting powerful and profound spiritual fluctuations, as if silently telling its long and mysterious past, or chanting an ancient and mysterious ballad, calling on the destined person to come and control it.

Xue Tianhan's eyes instantly burned brightly, and he said excitedly, "This is exactly the alchemy furnace I've been dreaming of and searching for so long! Elder, what will it take for you to give it to me?"
