"That's why the disciples of the Ancient Bell Sect were so excited after seeing the Holy Yuan Dan, and their formation restrictions are so weak. It turns out that in the Heavenly Realm, the Dan Dao and other forces are in decline, making any master alchemist incredibly rare, and it's hard to buy enough pills on the market."

At this point, Qin Chen finally understood the excitement of Qin Tingting and the others earlier.

"I didn't expect that the warriors of the Heavenly Realm live such miserable lives."

Qin Chen's eyes flickered; this was good news for him. With his knowledge in Dan Dao, as long as he had enough materials and formulas, he was confident he could gradually become a top alchemist in the Heavenly Realm, which would greatly benefit his future there.

"It seems I've found a way to cooperate with the Ancient Bell Sect, and also a way to establish myself in Cang Xuan City and acquire enough resources."

Qin Chen pondered.

Boom! At that moment, a powerful aura burst forth. Qin Chen turned his head and saw a slight flicker in Qin Tingting's aura, a terrifying presence surged, and she had surprisingly stepped into the mid-stage peak of the Mortal Saint Realm.

"Qin Tingting's talent is not weak."

Qin Chen smiled slightly; at this rate, as long as she had enough resources, it shouldn't take Qin Tingting too long to step into the late Mortal Saint Realm.

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance."

Qin Tingting leaped up, excitedly sensing the power within her, and instantly arrived before Qin Chen, her eyes full of excitement and admiration.

The bottleneck that had held her back for quite some time was shattered just like that. Even more thrilling for Qin Tingting was that she felt she had already touched the threshold of the late Mortal Saint Realm.

The late Mortal Saint Realm is a stage that only the elders of the Ancient Bell Sect possess, and she is still young. If she can break through early, her future will be limitless; becoming the successor to the sect leader would not be a problem.

"No need to be polite; this is what you deserve, hmm?"

Qin Chen smiled, but suddenly, his brow furrowed as if sensing something. A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, what’s wrong?"

Qin Tingting was taken aback.

"It's nothing; you should return to the residence first. I need to meet someone special."

Qin Chen's eyes flashed, and his figure swayed, suddenly disappearing from the library.

"The Senior really is elusive."

Qin Tingting suppressed her excitement and exited the library.

At this moment, in a hidden place beneath the Ancient Bell Sect, countless formation lights shrouded the area. There was actually a mysterious great formation here, imprinted at the heart of the mountains, forming an independent hidden space.

Within this space, countless heavenly and earthly saintly energies swirled and gathered. The core of the Ancient Bell Sect's Holy Pool was located beneath this space, serving as the source of this hidden space's formation.

In this hidden space sat an old man.

"Old Ancestor, disciple Mu Daoxuan pays respects!"

The sect leader of the Ancient Bell Sect, Mu Daoxuan, was currently kneeling on the ground, respectfully, without daring to show any signs of negligence or disrespect.

"I just saw the events outside. A powerful expert has entered our Ancient Bell Sect?!"

The old man's eyes suddenly opened wide, and the entire space trembled as if two divine lights shot forth.

"Then why didn't you take action, Old Ancestor? Let him do as he pleases in our Ancient Bell Sect?"

Mu Daoxuan asked. This old ancestor was the former sect leader of the Ancient Bell Sect, rumored to have fallen a hundred years ago, but in reality, had been hidden in this mysterious space within the sect.

This was the sect's top secret; besides him, no one else knew. The old ancestor was the Ancient Bell Sect's secret weapon, a trump card.

"Two reasons."

"First, I have already fallen in the outside world, and other forces are unaware. Once I act, the fluctuations of saintly energy might spread out, allowing others from the Tian Mang Mountain Range to notice. The other forces there think I am dead, so I can safely comprehend the Great Law here. If they knew I was still alive, they would certainly attack our Ancient Bell Sect, putting us in danger. Besides, my lifespan is limited; unless I can break through, my appearance would only bring calamity to the Ancient Bell Sect."
