“It's him.”
Throughout this assessment, Qin Chen, Huo Mo Dan Sheng, and Mo Li stood out the most. Among them, Huo Mo Dan Sheng belongs to the Zhi Mo clan and has a natural sensitivity to spiritual herbs. Additionally, since he is part of the Demon Tribe, he can easily refine not only normal spiritual herbs but also the demon medicine of his own kind.
Although it is rare for the Demon Tribe to produce a Refiner, if one does appear, they definitely surpass ordinary human-level refiners of the same rank.
At such times, the identity of the Demon Tribe not only serves as an obstacle but instead becomes an advantage.
Especially in terms of toxins, people from the Demon Tribe have a natural resistance to poisonous attributes, making it easier for them to master.
As for Mo Li, although his cultivation, realm, and proficiency in alchemy are the lowest, he is extremely resilient. This is a man who is tough on others but even tougher on himself. He almost failed the assessment several times and was on the verge of falling, yet unexpectedly, he persevered and displayed extraordinary comprehension.
Moreover, it seems he possesses some powerful inheritance from the Demon Dao, which has allowed him to hold on until now.
However, when compared to Qin Chen, Mo Li appears somewhat lacking. Whether it is in alchemy proficiency, talent, soul, physical body, or secret techniques, Qin Chen surpasses Mo Li in every aspect.
This immediately highlights Qin Chen even more.
“This is the person.”
That cold consciousness silently made a decision.
Moments later, Qin Chen finally succeeded in refining an ancient poison pill and placed the pill into the groove of the stone platform.
With a rumble, the entire stone platform began to rotate, and a familiar sensation of teleportation enveloped him. As the light flashed, Qin Chen vanished again.
When Qin Chen regained his vision and surveyed his surroundings, he couldn't help but be startled.
Because the place he found himself in was finally not the unchanging stone chamber but rather inside a passageway.
The passageway was exceptionally dry, with faint waves and strange gurgling sounds coming from ahead. A cold aura pervaded the area, making one feel as if they had fallen into a snake pit.
“Could it be that I successfully passed the inheritance?”
Qin Chen was stunned in his heart.
“Young man, congratulations on passing this inheritance assessment. Your proficiency in alchemy and your character have received my recognition. I didn't expect that before my consciousness dissipated, I would encounter such a successor as you. Truly, it is heaven's favor upon me. Come in.”
The cold voice rang out again, but this time it sounded much more peaceful and stable, filled with authority and grandeur. As the voice resonated, Qin Chen even felt a strong pressure, giving him a profound shock.
“Is this the power of a Venerable?
It’s indeed different from the Heavenly Fire Venerable.”
Qin Chen’s heart trembled as he urged his power to protect himself, stepping deeper into the passageway toward the source of the voice.
After a moment, Qin Chen entered a cavern.
This cavern seemed to be many fathoms deep underground, showing no signs of artificial construction and appearing to be naturally formed.
In front of him, black gases were swirling. Qin Chen squinted to see that the black gas was actually a mass of black molten flames, exuding a strong corrosive smell. These dark green and black molten flames converged together, occasionally bubbling up from below and bursting, splattering in all directions.
It looked like a dead swamp.
“The rules of poison!”
Qin Chen felt the dark green liquid and was startled. This pool of molten flames had a strong poisonous quality.
The key was that the poison also carried a strong flame aura.
As Qin Chen moved slightly closer, he immediately felt a trace of poison seeping into his body, causing him to feel dizzy.
“What a powerful toxin.”
Qin Chen was secretly alarmed.
The cavern was vast, but the center was occupied by the poisonous liquid pool, with only a few scattered stones forming a path above it. However, around these stones, there was a swirling mist of poisonous gas, and there seemed to be other things vaguely visible across the poisonous liquid pool.
