Under normal circumstances, such treasures can often only be used against a single Martial Artist.

Duan Gujin, despite thinking he would not be listed as a target for assassination, still made battle preparations, lest he be killed by that treasure.

After all, that treasure could unleash a power equivalent to a Demon Saint First Level, and with his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to withstand the treasure's attack.

Then, Duan Gujin heard a loud bang.

He extended his Divine Sense and soon saw that a towering mountain in front of him had suddenly shattered.

Even though the mountain was more than fifty meters high, it had collapsed under a massive palm strike, its stones turning to sand in an instant.

Duan Gujin took a sharp intake of breath, feeling astonished that the wielder of the Demon Saint Treasure had so easily reduced a high mountain to rubble.

Duan Gujin projected his Divine Sense outward, intent on finding the location of the wielder of that treasure or the Devil Clan.

But he only saw a spatial rift appear in the void behind him; there were no living creatures within the rift.

Normally, if a spatial rift contains no living creatures, it means that there is a treasure within it.

If there really is a treasure within this spatial rift, Duan Gujin surmised that it must be at least a Low Grade Heavenly treasure.

"I wonder how Shi Potian is doing?"

Duan Gujin's brow knitted tightly. He extended his Divine Sense, trying to find Shi Potian.

He and Shi Potian thought that they had escaped from those Devil Clan pursuers, but unexpectedly, at the final moment, the Devil Clan actually used a Demon Saint Treasure to go after them.

This outcome was something Duan Gujin had not anticipated.

Luckily, the Demon Saint Treasure was not aimed at him, but went after Shi Potian instead.

However, Duan Gujin knew that if he was the only one here, then the Demon Saint Treasure would have been coming for him.

Then he would have been the one under attack!

He knew that there was a long way to go before he could match the strength of a Demon Saint. If he was the one being attacked by the Demon Saint Treasure, it was highly likely that he would end up with his soul scattered.

Very soon, Duan Gujin sensed that the treasure hiding in the spatial rift had disappeared.

His brow furrowed even more tightly, and he quickly readied himself for battle to prevent a stealth attack by the Demon Saint Treasure.

At the same time, he flew up in search of Shi Potian.

Initially, he was very tense, fearing that Shi Potian had been struck by the Demon Saint Treasure.

But after a while, he saw a figure appear in the void ahead.

As the figure materialized, it turned out to be Shi Potian.

Seeing that Shi Potian was unharmed, Duan Gujin let out a sigh of relief.

"Shi Potian, I'm glad you're okay. I was so worried just now!"

Shi Potian exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Duan Gujin, I sensed something amiss behind me just now, so I left immediately! In the end, my guess was right; indeed, we had been targeted by the Demon Saint Treasure!"

Hearing Shi Potian's words tightened Duan Gujin's heart.

Fortunately, the Demon Saint Treasure had not come for him.

If it had been him, he would be dead by now.

"Since you sensed the existence of the Demon Saint Treasure, why didn't you tell me?"

Duan Gujin asked, puzzled.

"I just had a feeling, I thought that the Devil Clan member using the Demon Saint Treasure didn't really want to use it. But after we separated, I realized that they had decided to use the Demon Saint Treasure after all! Luckily, I had prepared a decoy beforehand. Just now, I let my decoy go ahead while I hid myself!"

Duan Gujin, after hearing Shi Potian's explanation, understood that Shi Potian had been aware of pursuers following them all along.

"This Shi Potian is really untrustworthy!"

Recalling everything that had just happened, Duan Gujin still felt a lingering fear.

Although his Telekinesis was unique, Shi Potian's Cultivation was higher than his.

So, Shi Potian was able to detect the presence of the Devil Clan before he did.

"That is an Eighth Level Martial Emperor from the Devil Clan!"

After pondering for a while, Shi Potian said.

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, feeling a chill in his heart, now realizing the dangers he had narrowly escaped just moments before.

"You need not worry, that Devil has already fled!"

Shi Potian spoke.

Duan Gujin's brows slightly furrowed as he considered a problem.

"Unexpectedly, that large group of Devils we encountered had Demon Saint Level treasures in their possession!"

He exhaled, grateful that he and Shi Potian had made a quick escape earlier.

If they had not fled in time, they would have been trapped like a turtle in a jar.

"I fear that the Ninth Level Martial Emperor, Blood Snake, is in trouble! Not only are there many Devils, but their strength is also not weak! It's likely that it cannot escape its fate!"

He thought to himself in this way.

This time, Shi Potian quickly led Duan Gujin away from this place.

They ran wildly for hundreds of kilometers, only stopping after being certain there was no danger behind them.

"Duan Gujin, it is really time for us to part ways now!"

Shi Potian said.

"Alright, Brother Shi, until next time!"

Duan Gujin responded.

"Be careful when you walk the worldly society from now on!"

Having said that, Shi Potian's figure flashed, becoming a streak of light as he rapidly departed.

Duan Gujin sat cross-legged on the spot, restoring his vitality, recovering his strength.

Since Shi Potian had been the one to carry him away in haste, he hadn't used much of his Primordial Power.

Thus, he recovered quickly.

After this encounter, Duan Gujin decided to search for ores in other areas.

Over the following days, Duan Gujin searched for ores at other locations on the map.

Unfortunately for him, he did not find the ores he was looking for in those places.

When the time for lectures came, he had no choice but to return to the Blood Killing Sect early.

Soon after returning to the Blood Killing Sect, Elder Wan delivered him some news.

"Duan Gujin, the Blood Killing Sect is holding an examination for Fifth Grade Alchemists, prepare yourself! Before that, I will test your Alchemy Techniques."

Hearing this news, Duan Gujin was overjoyed. He knew that if he could obtain the certification of a Fifth-grade Alchemist, he could buy alchemy resources at lower prices at nearby auctions in the future.

At the same time, he could also sell the Elixir Pills he made at higher prices.

If he could successfully become a Fifth-grade Alchemist, then he could issue orders to purchase the alchemy resources he lacked at a high price.

In the Jiuzhou Continent, a Second-class Sect like the Blood Killing Sect could only conduct certifications for alchemists up to the Fifth Grade.

Yet if Duan Gujin were to enter a First-class Sect, then he could undertake the certification for a Seventh-grade Alchemist.

The reason for this disparity had to do with the sect ranking of the Blood Killing Sect.

Furthermore, this Fifth-grade Alchemist certification was not conducted by the Blood Killing Sect alone; it was conducted by Eighth Grade Alchemists from three First-class Sects.

The qualification certification for Alchemists is extremely strict, with absolutely no room for favoritism or fraud.
