Chapter: 36

The middle-aged man with short hair told him that it was the investment project of the old art experimental class that first attracted his attention. Then, he observed everyone in the class, and finally only liked two people.

Others in the class are not determined enough and doubt the old techniques. Even if they follow the old path, their achievements will be limited.

In fact, after Wang Xuan embarked on the road of the old technique, he was really out of control, and he succeeded in collecting qi and nourishing his body within a few years.

The middle-aged man with short hair thinks that Wang Xuan has great potential, and he will probably have extraordinary achievements on the road of old arts.

This organization is relatively free and loose, but its strength is beyond doubt. At the same time, it is very mysterious. Its tentacles have already entered the starry sky, reaching new stars.

"Under the formal introduction, you can call me Aoki." The short-haired middle-aged man wearing a blue mask broke the silence.

"Do I count as joining?" Wang Xuan asked.

Aoki said: "Not counting, you are one of the potential seedlings I have selected in recent years, but you are not the only one."

"What kind of test do you have to pass?"

"Yes, this is an existing rule. Although I am optimistic about you, I can't change it."

Aoki, a middle-aged man with short hair, told him that there would be an expedition within two days, which could be used as his assessment, and asked him whether he would participate.

"Participate!" Wang Xuan nodded.

"After joining us, you have a general understanding of what you will experience before, but now I still want to emphasize, what does exploration mean? Naturally, there will be dangers, and even life-threatening risks. You have to think about it."

Wang Xuan said: "No problem, I have thought it through."

Aoki was very serious, and said: "You can live here, we must make sure that no news will be leaked before this, because this operation is very important!"

Wang Xuan expressed his understanding, and it is no problem to stay here.

Holding a golden bamboo slip, he looked at Aoki behind the mahogany desk and said, "Can I ask some questions?"

Aoki said: "See what the problem is. If some amazing secrets are involved, even if you successfully join us, you need an equivalent exchange."

Wang Xuan asked: "I want to know, is the end of the old art path the top alchemist, and there is really no way to go?"

Aoki sighed, and said: "I understand your feelings, because I also started from practicing old techniques. This road is too difficult, and it takes countless hard work and sweat. It takes decades, and it is difficult to achieve success. The highest peak is the alchemist, and the end has been determined."

Sure enough, it was the same answer, the same conclusion as the life research on Nova's side.

"In fact, the most pessimistic thing is that even if you already know where the end of the road is, few people can reach that height. It’s completely gone since then.”

The old techniques are declining more and more, alchemists have long been legends, and it is difficult to spy on them.

"The place where the alchemist is standing is the end of the road. Has no one tried to continue exploring?" Wang Xuan asked.

"It's easier said than done. For generations, even true alchemists have never been able to appear again. How dare future generations dare to think about this." Aoki shook his head bitterly, and said: "In ancient times, there were some powerful people who wanted to continue to deduce the road. But unfortunately, no one has ever succeeded.”

"Why are those alchemists able to push the old techniques to the extreme, and the latecomers will never be able to surpass them?" Wang Xuan asked.

"Do you think it is the result of several alchemists' hard work? No, it is the result of generations of powerful alchemists who have continuously perfected the old techniques. In the end, there is really no way out, and the top alchemists may be ancient humans. The strongest individual in the world."

...

That night, Aoki asked Wang Xuan to prepare all kinds of equipment needed for the expedition, including alloy knives, daggers, protective clothing, imitation human skin masks, etc.

Also, there are thermal weapons!
