Chapter 774: Chapter 386 Preaching_2
Upon ascending to a higher realm, due to the influence of spatial turbulence, I fell into the territory of the Demon Tribe. Later, to search for Xu Yu Rou, Master Golden Sword entered the Demon Clan Territory. Amidst constant pursuit, there was scarcely any time for cultivation.
Unwittingly, a great deal of time was wasted. Now, although I am cultivating in the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, I have yet to catch up with the progression of my natural lifespan; I have still not reached the Perfection of Void Refinement, leaving me with much less time to break through to the Body Fusion Realm.
However, as the saying goes, “When one person achieves Dao, even their pets ascend to heavens.” No matter how good one’s own Spiritual Root is, it’s no match for a friend who has found the Dao.
With my help, it was no problem for Master Golden Sword and Chen Huanyu to break through to the Body Fusion Realm.
Afterward, I arrived at the Tai Xuan Main Peak and entered the Cave Mansion of a Great Tribulation Expert. Even as I stood before them, these people had not the slightest perception of me.
I smiled; this is the supreme realm of the Path of Survivor I have long dreamt of. Unexpectedly, under the Fruit of Dao of my own creation, I realized it ahead of time.
Primordial Chaos Energy, coupled with the Golden Qi of Creation, means that not even Great Tribulation Experts, let alone True Immortals, could sense my presence.
On the final leg of my journey in the Dao Palace, I appeared in the Prison of Sins, a prison located underground in the Dao Palace, equipped with various punitive formations, including ones that torment the Primordial Spirit.
However, Ji Tianxing, the leader of the opposing faction of the Creation Method, was not subjected to any punishment but was simply confined in a dark formation prison to reflect on his mistakes.
I was not at all surprised. In the Cultivation World, strength is revered above all else. Apart from one’s own power, background is also a factor. This opposing faction of the Creation Method obviously has the backing of the Immortal Realm; naturally, the Tai Xuan Dao Palace dares not easily torment Ji Tianxing, in case an Immortal from the Immortal Realm descends.
I merely took a brief look and then left the place. Then, I came to the Pavilion of Profound Dao. Since Zhang Dao Xuan’s original body left the Demon Domain to return to the Spirit Profound Realm, more than a hundred years have passed.
During this period, countless people flocked to the Pavilions of Profound Dao in various cities seeking elixirs and remedies.
However, Zhang Dao Xuan closed the Pavilions of Profound Dao in all other cities, leaving only the shop in Tai Xuan Main City open, and he would refine pills only for those destined or for cultivators who had helped the Pavilion of Profound Dao after he left.
This caused many cultivators to regret, wishing they had aided the Pavilion of Profound Dao after Zhang Dao Xuan had left.
When my figure appeared in the Pavilion of Profound Dao, Zhang Dao Xuan was refining pills. He smiled and made his form appear.
Upon seeing my form, Zhang Dao Xuan showed a look of surprise but did not panic; after stabilizing the Pill Furnace, he clasped his fists and bowed, “Greetings to Long Ao. It seems you have come to the Tai Xuan Dao Palace to choose those worthy of enlightenment.”
I nodded slightly, “Indeed, I’ve already helped your Divine Soul create a body. He just doesn’t wish to sever ties with you and remains your avatar.”
“If I were in his place, I’d do the same,” Zhang Dao Xuan said, showing no surprise.
“I received some help from your Divine Soul. Take these Divine Skills of pill refining as a token of thanks.” I imparted the Way of Pill Refining I had comprehended into Zhang Dao Xuan’s mind.
As the saying goes, “Grasp one law and all laws follow.” In the realization of Primordial Chaos Energy and the Golden Qi of Creation, I equally gained insight into all aspects of pill refining.
Zhang Dao Xuan, sensing the knowledge entering his mind, showed a trace of excitement and quickly clasped his fists and bowed, “Thank you, fellow Daoist.”
“No need for formalities, I take my leave.” I waved my hand, and my figure gradually disappeared from the Pavilion of Profound Dao.
Watching the spot where I had departed, Zhang Dao Xuan was pensive. Although he had some guesses, he could not confirm that the connection between Long Ao and his Divine Soul would be so straightforward.
Nevertheless, he did not wish to make undue complications; whatever the relationship was, it was a consequence created by his Divine Soul and no longer related to him.
After leaving Tai Xuan Main City, Lin Yi visited other human cities, and finally, he arrived at the East Sea Spiritual City, which bordered the Sea Tribe. This place was filled with water-like spiritual energy, making it very suitable for rest and recuperation.
Although his Primordial Spirit had once encompassed this Spirit City, this was his first time physically visiting the city. It was clear to see that the cultivators around him were in a relaxed state, unlike the tense atmosphere in the Demon Tribe Spirit City.
This Spirit City strictly adhered to the laws set by the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. To gain entry to the city, one needed a certain number of Merit Points, and once inside, everything was purchased with Merit Points rather than Spirit Stones.
Therefore, to live and recuperate in the city for an extended period, one had to possess a sufficient amount of Merit Points.
And those Spirit City Guards who risked their lives fighting demons and exorcising evil spirits in the Demon Tribe Spirit City deserved the most to enjoy the offerings of the East Sea Spiritual City.
Just as the legends described, Lin Yi saw many Sea Tribe members in the East Sea Spiritual City, including those who had transformed into human form and the half-human, half-fish mermaids, with human torsos and fish tails.
The Sea Tribe could come and go from the human Spirit Cities, and the humans could also, under certain conditions, enter the Sea Tribe territories for exploration and treasure hunting.
After staying for a few days in the East Sea Spiritual City, Lin Yi ventured into the ocean depths, where the Sea Tribe had established cities. At the core lay Dragon City, which housed a Sea Tribe council palace called the Dragon Palace; after all, every marine creature yearned to transform into a dragon.
Like the Demon Tribe, the Sea Tribe was controlled by several major clans, including the Jiao Dragon Clan. However, these were the Jiao Dragons living in the ocean, as opposed to those from the Demon Tribe Territory, which were land-dwelling or snake-turned Jiao Dragons.
In the ocean, although there were some peculiar sea demons, they were still more aesthetically pleasing compared to the hideous and terrifying creatures found in the Demon Domain.
Upon hearing the words of Lord Xuan Qing, Lin Yi didn’t hesitate and immediately responded with his fist over his heart, “My esteemed Master, I am fully willing to do so. I have already planned to pass on some of my experience to the disciples who will enter the Secret Realm of Liu Yun Sect this time.”
“However, I can only guarantee that the content I teach will be exactly the same as what the disciples of Liu Yun Sect receive, and I cannot guarantee that anyone who hears my experiences will be able to obtain the precious spirit herbs in the Secret Realm.”
The two conditions provided by the Dan Yang True Monarch of Medicine God Valley, who only has a hundred years left in his lifespan, serve both public and private purposes. Publicly, it helps younger disciples of the Sect to obtain the chance to acquire the precious spirit herbs within the Secret Realm.
On a personal level, he stands to gain two Life Extension Pills. With only a hundred years left of his lifespan, if he hasn’t taken a Life Extension Pill before, an extra twenty years grants him additional opportunities to breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Of course, this could also be an essential resource that he has deliberately left for the Medicine God Valley. Some cultivators who know for sure that they can’t break through to the next realm will leave behind certain things for their disciples or apprentices.”
Lord Xuan Qing calmly responded, “Your words are assurance enough, Dan Yang True Monarch, just wants this promise.”
Just helping to concoct the Heaven Pill once, how could it be possible to guarantee with 100% certainty that the disciples of Medicine God Valley would acquire the precious spirit herbs in the Secret Realm.
“Then I am reassured. Thank you, Master, for this opportunity you have secured for my Senior Brother.” Lin Yi thanked with a bow.
“It’s a small matter. Golden Sword, I am going to create a pill with Dan Yang True Monarch. This should take about two to three months, so please be patient and wait.” Lord Xuan Qing gently waved his hand and then spoke to Gold Sword Zen Ren.
Gold Sword Zen Ren also gave a bow in gratitude, “Thank you, Elder, I am forever grateful.”
Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu at the side also thanked with a bow. Even if Dan Yang True Monarch could only concoct a top-grade Resurrection Pill, it would still be a great opportunity.
“I shall take my leave.” Lord Xuan Qing nodded slightly, his figure instantly disappearing from the Golden Sword Palace.
After Lord Xuan Qing left the Golden Sword Hall, the few individuals inside watched him go. Then Zhou Yun Feng turned to Lin Yi and said, “Younger brother, your elder brother thanks you here.”
“My eldest brother, don’t be so formal. I had originally planned to pass on my experience to the disciples of Golden Sword Lineage or Liu Yun Sect who enter the Secret Realm. Adding another sect doesn’t matter.” Lin Yi responded with a shake of his head and a smile.
After all, whichever sect’s disciple manages to get the spirit herbs from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, he is the one who has the final say.
Although his alchemy skills have not yet reached the Spirit Rank, and he is not qualified to use the precious spirit grasses in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, his rapid progress in alchemy over the past ten years has earned him a reward from the Pill Immortal Master: the right to use a few spirit grasses.
However, he has no intention of using them himself. Firstly, without the strength of a Spirit Level Alchemist, the failure rate of refining these spirit grasses from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden into pills would be very high.
Secondly, it would be very risky for him to sell them in the Heng Yuan World. Since he can’t teleport to the Xuan Tian Realm via the Secret Realm, he has chosen to allocate them to disciples from several sects, which was also part of his early plans.
“Lin Yi, it’s rare to see you showing such dedication to contribute to the sect. I will also report your contributions to the Sect Master.” Gold Sword Zen Ren nodded in approval. When accepting Lin Yi as his direct disciple, the main reason was those precious Spirit Herbs.
As time passed, he grew increasingly fond of this disciple. It’s just a pity that Lin Yi has lower-grade spiritual roots, so his chance of achieving the Golden Core Dao is very low.
Lin Yi bowed in response and, after a twinkle in his eyes, said, “Thank you, Master. I think if it’s teaching one sect it’s teaching, and if it’s teaching several sects, it’s still teaching. Why don’t we add in a few more sects?”
“We can spread the news that I am about to teach the method of obtaining the precious spirit herbs in the Dan God Secret Realm. Other sects definitely won’t pass up this teaching opportunity. However, we need to charge a reasonable fee, like spirit stones or spirit herbs.”
Zhou Yun Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, “Ah, our junior brother is planning to do business.”
“Elder brother, with Dan Yang True Monarch’s audacious demands, we should also take this opportunity to make some money.” Lin Yi replied with a laugh.
A bit of worry appeared on Qi Jing Yu’s face as she spoke, “I think we need to be more prudent. Master, if the Dan Yang True Monarch from Medicine God Valley finds out that our junior brother is giving lectures to disciples from other sects, will he give up on refining the Heaven Pill?”
If Dan Yang True Monarch gets angry as a result and refuses to continue concocting the Heaven Pill, it will end up being a loss on their part.
Gold Sword Zen Ren pondered for a bit and slowly said, “As far as I know, there was no clause in the negotiation between Dan Yang True Monarch and Elder Xuan Qing that stipulated Lin Yi would only lecture exclusively for the disciples of Medicine God Valley. If Dan Yang True Monarch reneges on his promise, I doubt Elder Xuan Qing would easily agree.”
“However, just to be safe, we can release the news after Dan Yang True Monarch starts refining the pill.”
Lin Yi noticed that after his announcement, many of the selected candidates had already activated their marks and were teleported to the Holy Sect. He had also assigned some disciples to receive them and arrange Cave Mansions for these individuals.
Once all the selected candidates reported in after a month, he began teaching each race targeted doctrines, including awakening their wisdom and extending their lifespans, among other things.
According to the different characteristics of each race, he bestowed different blessings, to ensure that their future paths of cultivation would proceed more smoothly.
