"Since my senses are better, I will be leading us. Does anyone has anything to say?" The blonde-haired young man asked.

"Nothing, Takye. You are the strongest so it is only right that you take the lead," one of them spoke and the others all nodded.

The one who spoke was one of the three females in their group of ten. She had black hair and similarly had cat ears like their leader, Takye.

"Alright, since there are no objections we will be moving immediately. But be on alert. I don\'t like the fact that things are different from what we are told. Maybe this is how the owner of the realm made it, but it could also be that things are not so simple."

\'I hope we do not get into conflict with the humans. But I am not afraid either.\'

"Let\'s go!"

With Takye in the lead, they moved fast but not too fast as Takye intended to allow the humans to scout things out for them in case of any mishaps.

\'They should make way for us, that way it will be safer.\'

After some time they got a bit closer to Arthur\'s group but kept a reasonable distance between them.

Also, due to their heritage, they were very skillful in hiding their auras, and unless it was someone with a much higher cultivation than them, no one in Arthur\'s group would be able to sense them.

But unfortunately for them.

\'Hmm, Beast Men?\'

Arthur felt the presence of ten people enter the range of his spirit power and was able to see through their identities in an instant.

Something that should only be possible by men with a very high level of cultivation was possessed by Arthur and the Beast Men could not have foreseen that they would be found out the instant they came close.

\'What are beast-men kin doing here? How did they get here also? Things are getting complicated.\'

Arthur began to think about the entire situation, in an attempt to analyze what is going on.

\'Is this a conspiracy of the Alchemy Association?\'

\'No, that shouldn\'t be the case. They would not dare offend the Heavenly Sword Sect like that. And it is also impossible for them to cooperate with the beast men.\'

\'This would mean that through some means unknown to us and the Alchemy Association, these beast men were able to enter this secret realm from another location.\'

A secret realm is like a mini-world that is in a different space dimension from the original world.

Due to that, one can not simply say the realm is located in a specific area or space on the continent.

What one would call the location of a secret realm is actually the point of entry to that secret realm.

Due to this fact it is possible for people from different continents to appear in a secret realm and meet each other.

\'There are no beast men tribes in the southern continent and there is no way they could have teleported to this continent by themselves since the way to make teleportation devices has been long lost in the Mortal Emperor Realm.\'

Arthur was deep in thought but did not forget to focus his attention on his surrounding with his spirit power just in case of any unexpected arrivals.

At the same time, he slowed down his speed so that he would be at the very end of the group.

Some noticed his actions but ignored them, thinking that he just wants to reserve his energy. Only Mark thought otherwise.

Mark slowed down his speed to match Arthur\'s and gave him a look that asked, \'What is it?\'.

Arthur demonstrated with his fingers pointing to his eyes and then the surroundings, indicating for Mark to be vigilant.

Mark nodded with seriousness as he felt something might be amiss due to Arthur. And he somewhat trusts Arthur\'s judgment.

Meanwhile, Arthur kept thinking about the matter as they drew closer to the Mansion.

\'Although it should be impossible for them to have come to this place using a teleportation device. Who is to say that they don\'t have access to an Ancient Treasure that has that function.\'

\'After all, I have a similar Artifact that was given to me by Suo Hao. But still, even with that, it would be impossible for them to come through the same route that we did as the elders could have found them when they surveyed the area.\'

\'Therefore it is highly likely that they came in through another entry point. Moreover, they must have the tokens to enter this secret realm.\'

\'The main point is that the Alchemy Association has no idea about this possibility.\'

\'But now what is their goal, and what is it with this place? I will have to be very careful. The Cultivation world isn\'t known for being a safe haven.\'

Due to the nature of the realm, it was impossible to tell precisely how much time had passed but they finally arrived at the mansion.

*Swoosh!*

Just as they did, Arthur instinctively withdrew his spirit power just in case there is an existence that will be able to sense it within the palace.

\'It is better to appear as inconspicuous as possible.\'

There was a great fence preventing them from entering, along with a Golden Gate in the middle.

He remained at the back of the group along with Mark as they got closer to the gates of the mansion.

*Clink!*

The gates opened on their own, startling a few of them but with a bit of caution, they walked into the mansion.

"Wow!"

The instant they did and saw what was on the other side, they were filled with pleasant surprise as the scent of many high-grade herbs filled their nostrils.

"Look, senior sister Ava! That\'s the extinct eighth-grade spiritual herb, the Golden Stripped Mushroom, which is said to be able to help heal mental injuries!"

The female alchemist disciple called out to the daughter of the Alchemy Association\'s President, Ava.

Ava looked over and saw that it was indeed as her fellow disciple said.

"Not just that, look over there. That\'s ancient Blood Ginseng that is over ten thousand years old! The highest that has been seen is that of a one thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng!" The other male alchemy disciple exclaimed in shock.

Even the others who were not that knowledgeable about spiritual medicines could see that the spiritual medicines in the medicine garden before them are of very high grades.

"It is indeed just as our elders said. There are so many high-grade herbs and I am willing to bet that what we see is just the tip of the iceberg," Ava spoke with a melodious voice.

Even then she could not completely suppress the hint of excitement in her tone.

\'With this, it is very likely that this is the inheritance site of a Tier-9 Alchemist. A level that not even my father can achieve. If I can gain this inheritance...\'

Ava thought about the prospects of gaining the inheritance of such a figure and knew that this will speed up her practice of the Alchemy Dao a lot.

Besides, she was confident that no one here is more qualified than her to receive such an inheritance, and her confidence was very well justified because of her special physique.

The disciples from the Fire Spirit Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect were similarly excited too. As they knew that they will be rewarded very well by their respective sects for this mission.

In addition to the discount, they will be offered if they want to purchase any rare herb it will give them the advantage that they needed to rise above their peers in their sects.

Meanwhile, Arthur was paying attention to other things. He observed the environment if there was anything amiss. He also saw the reactions of everyone.

At this time he noticed someone, \'Mark?\'

Mark was staring straight at a specific medicine. Arthur followed his gaze and saw why Mark\'s expression was that way.

\'Cleansing Spirit Grass! It is the extinct Cleansing Spirit Grass! Yes, the heavens are fair! With this, my little sister will finally be cured!\'

Mark\'s breathing went out of pattern for a moment and he even went out of his vigilant state.

\'That\'s understandable considering that he has found something that will help his sister\'s problem,\' Arthur could understand how he felt.

\'But still, what is this nagging feeling in my heart?\'

"Alright, we will harvest these spiritual medicines as planned. But first, let us see what is within that building," Ava pointed at the white building in front of them.

This made everyone recall that there is also an inheritance to be obtained and some began to have fantasies of how it would be if they were the ones to obtain such an inheritance.

Because the one that will obtain the Alchemy Inheritance would be the greatest winner here today, and will surely receive greater rewards and spiritual herbs than what they can see right now.
