Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

On the other side, as Chen Tian and Qin Yi were sucked into the stone chamber and recovered from a brief dizzy spell, they were stunned by the scene before them.

From the outside, the stone chamber didn't seem large, barely enough for one person to live in. However, after truly entering, Chen Tian discovered that it was a completely different world inside. What met his eyes was a vast and enormous space, its scale even several times larger than the manor outside the stone chamber. Clearly, it was another mustard seed space opened up in time and space.

Before entering, Chen Tian had assumed that such an airtight stone chamber would be dark and damp. However, now that he was actually inside, he realized that this idea was completely wrong, because it was not only bright and spacious, but also filled with all kinds of flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants were distinctly colored, layered upon layered, decorating the place beautifully. Moreover, these flowers and plants were not ordinary; they emitted bursts of medicinal fragrance, clearly all extremely precious and valuable medicines! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Tian would never have believed that this was actually a closed stone chamber. It was clearly some kind of secluded paradise.

Qin Yi also seemed very interested in this place, constantly looking around, her eyes shining, appearing thoroughly delighted.

"You two, come forward."

Just at that moment, that ancient and aged voice echoed again. Chen Tian heard clearly that the voice was coming from deeper within the stone chamber.

Confirming this, Chen Tian didn't dare delay, hurriedly supporting Qin Yi, and walked past the layers of flowers and plants towards the depths of the stone chamber.

After walking for a short while, a winding clear spring appeared before the two of them, and beside the spring, the blue dwarves that had appeared earlier were busily working.

Two of the blue dwarves were holding a medicine pestle that was obviously disproportionate to their size, pounding some strange medicinal residue into a stone mortar, again and again.

The other blue dwarves were nervously moving all kinds of medicinal materials from east to west, and from south to north. Their focused and diligent appearance caused Chen Tian and Qin Yi to smile.

Just then, a blue dwarf who was free walked towards the two of them, glanced askance at Chen Tian and Qin Yi, and haughtily snorted, "Hmph… Hmph! Come with me."

Although these blue dwarves looked exactly the same, Chen Tian and Qin Yi could still tell from their demeanor and attitude that this blue dwarf must be the eldest brother of the group, and therefore the most arrogant and rude one.

Confirming this, Chen Tian and Qin Yi couldn't help but smile again, and then followed behind him, walking towards the depths of the stone chamber.

Compared to humans, the blue dwarves were simply too small. When Qin Yi crossed the clear spring, the hem of her light purple embroidered dress accidentally brushed against one of the blue dwarves, causing him to fall to the ground along with the medicine pot he was holding.

Seeing this, Qin Yi immediately bent down, first helping him up, and then asked with concern, "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"

However, facing Qin Yi's concerned inquiry, the blue dwarf was immediately startled, nodding repeatedly and saying, "I'm sorry… I'm sorry!"

After saying that, he hurriedly picked up the medicine pot from the ground and ran away quickly.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yi felt a little helpless. She was the one who bumped into him, but the blue dwarf was apologizing to her instead.

Looking at his appearance, he was obviously the most timid blue dwarf, hiding in the back just now.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi smiled slightly, then stood up and continued walking forward with Chen Tian.

After bypassing an unknown number of turns, suddenly, a waterfall appeared before everyone's eyes.

The waterfall had a drop of more than ten zhang, and the water, like a silver ribbon, poured down rapidly, falling into a pool below.

Even more amazing was that the water pouring down from such a high place didn't produce any noise at all. If Chen Tian and Qin Yi hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that this was actually a huge waterfall.

"Hmph… Hmph! Wait here! My grandfather will come to see you later."

After bringing the two here, the blue dwarf snorted a few more times, then turned and left, his attitude still as arrogant as ever.

After he left, Chen Tian seemed to be a little idle, so he looked around. Just then, Chen Tian seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly walked a few steps forward, squatted down, and focused on observing a field not far away.

Seeing Chen Tian like this, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel a little curious, so she also walked over. But as soon as she saw what was planted in the field, this woman, who had always been calm, suddenly showed a strong look of shock.

"Hundred Flower Grass, Feather Spirit Crow, Crimson Pearl Flower Sha, Sky Bird Herb, Imperial Phoenix Fragrance… Heavens, how could these precious medicinal herbs, which have been recognized as extinct for over ten thousand years, appear here?"

Qin Yi liked to refine pills and was very knowledgeable about various medicinal herbs, so when she saw the flowers and plants planted in this field, she recited them one by one as if listing family treasures.

However, with each word, the shock in Qin Yi's heart grew even stronger, because she discovered that the flowers and plants planted here were all precious and rare species that had long been extinct on the Qian Yuan Continent.

"Oh, this young lady, you actually recognize these flowers and plants that I planted?"

Just as Qin Yi was in shock, the old voice from before echoed again.

Because they were closer, Chen Tian and Qin Yi immediately determined that the direction the voice came from was behind the waterfall.

Only then did Chen Tian realize that there was a huge cave hidden behind the waterfall. Presumably, this Old Alchemist lived in this cave. However, he didn't know why he was unwilling to show himself. Of course, whether or not he showed himself was entirely up to Old Alchemist's temper, and Chen Tian had no intention of forcing him.

After hearing Old Alchemist's voice, Qin Yi was startled at first, but quickly calmed down again, gracefully performed a Wanfu salute, and said softly, "It is this little girl who is showing off her limited skills in front of a senior."

"Haha, young girl, you don't need to be so restrained. I am not an unreasonable person, you don't need to be afraid." As if sensing that Qin Yi was a little nervous, Old Alchemist laughed loudly and comforted her, "In fact, there have been thousands of people who have seen my medicine garden, and there have been dozens of Heaven Building realm cultivators among them, but you are the only one who can completely recognize all the medicinal materials here! What, could it be that you have seen all of my treasures?"

From his words, it could be heard that this Old Alchemist had quite a fondness for Qin Yi.

Through these words, Qin Yi also realized that this Old Alchemist was not a vicious and evil person, so she gradually relaxed, smiled, and said, "Senior is joking, the medicinal materials here are all rare species that have been extinct for tens of thousands of years. How could this little girl have the opportunity to see them? In fact, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen them alive."

"Eh?"

Hearing Qin Yi say this, Old Alchemist seemed even more curious, and asked doubtfully, "Since you have never seen them before, then how did you recognize them just now?"
