Chapter 747: Leaving the Sect
Zhan Chen asked, "What kind of task is it that makes you feel tricky?"
Gong Xinyan replied, "The place we are going to this time is a dark Grand Canyon called Yin Xixi. โ
"Yin Xijian, I don't understand the situation in this area, so what are we going to do there?"
"Go collect an elixir called the Cloud Soul Grass. โ
"Is it an elixir? I don't understand, what elixir can't be cultivated in a sect as big as the Qin Xiao Sect. โ
"Alas, Zhan Chen, you are really right, this elixir cannot be cultivated in our sect, because it needs an extremely cold growth environment, that is to say, it needs a place where the yin and evil qi are heavy. โ
"I see, but I don't understand, this elixir sounds very evil, why does our sect still send people to collect it, what is its purpose?"
"You don't know, although this elixir contains yin and evil qi, it is the main medicine that is indispensable for refining the Heavenly Soul Pill. โ
"What kind of elixir is the Heavenly Soul Pill?"
"The Heavenly Soul Pill is an immortal-level best elixir, its usefulness can be great, it can increase the total number of souls of our cultivators, a Heavenly Soul Pill can increase the total soul of a Yuan Shen Great Perfection powerhouse by one-third, and it can also increase the total soul of a Ming Law Beginner Ancestor by nearly one-tenth. โ
"Increase the total amount of souls, this is indeed an amazing elixir!" Zhan Chen exclaimed.
"Yes, but this elixir also has limitations, that is, if you take it to a certain extent, the soul strength of the cultivator will reach the limit, and it will not grow unlimitedly, which means that the soul power of a strong person in the Yuan Shen Realm will never be stronger than that of an Enlightened Ancestor. โ
"Even if that's the case, it's quite remarkable!" Even Zhan Chen began to have a strong interest in this elixir.
"Yes, but this kind of elixir is only refined by the elders of the Dan Pavilion, and the rate of becoming a pill is extremely low, and it is not easy for ordinary elders to get it, let alone our disciples. โ
Zhan Chen nodded, he could understand that the more anti-heaven the pill, the more difficult it was to refine, and the pills of this kind of pill were usually treasured by alchemists, and they were even more important than their lives, and they would never leak it, which led to the more precious the good pills became.
"Refining the Heavenly Soul Pill requires a large amount of Cloud Soul Grass, so this task is set up within the sect all year round, and the reward is extremely high. โ
"Then the stakes of this mission must be extremely high. โ
"That's right, first of all, this Cloud Soul Grass is an immortal-level best elixir, and it is very rare in this life, and it is relatively difficult to find, and secondly, Yinxi Stream is a dangerous place, where a large number of powerful cold attribute and dark attribute demon beasts live, and we are also facing one of the biggest competitors. โ
"What competitor?"
"That's the sworn enemy of our Qin Xiao Sect, the Demon Yin Sect. โ
"Demon Sound Sect. โ
"Yes, the territory of this sect borders our sect, and it is also a sect that is good at music rhythm and soul attacks, but they are demon sects, and we are enemies of the immortal sect, and the most important thing is that the Yinxi Stream Canyon is within the territory of the Demon Yin Sect, and they will also send many disciples every year to look for the cloud soul grass. โ
"In other words, we are going to enter the territory of the Demon Sect. Zhan Chen muttered.
"Yes, not only do you have to go deep into their territory, but there is also a great chance of clash with them. Gong Xinyan paused, and then asked: "Zhan Chen, this task originally had to be taken by disciples with high-level cultivators of the Yuan Shen and above, and your cultivation is insufficient, even if this is the case, do you dare to go?"
Zhan Chen asked, "So what kind of reward can you get if you complete this task?"
"Every time you find a Cloud Soul Grass, you can exchange it for six cultivation tokens on the thirteenth floor of the cultivation tower. โ
Zhan Chen thought: "Six cultivation tower tokens can be accelerated by one hundred and thirty times for half a year, as long as I get twelve such tokens, one year of cultivation is equal to one hundred and thirty years of cultivation for others, this is too worthwhile!"
"You have to think clearly, don't force yourself!" Gong Xinyan said.
"I don't have anything to think about anymore, as long as I can improve my cultivation, I am willing to take a big risk!" Zhan Chen said categorically, there was really not much time left for him, he had to become strong quickly.
"Well, to be honest, even our personal disciples have to think about it for a long time when they take on this task, but the Hundred Flowers Festival is approaching, and everyone is eager to improve their strength and fight on behalf of the sect. โ
Zhan Chen suddenly asked, "Can a male disciple like me participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival?"
Gong Xinyan looked at him, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and said, "What, you want to go too?"
"Hmm!"
"No kidding, you only have the cultivation of the primordial god level, and the people who fight on behalf of the sect are the strongest among the disciples of the personal lineage. โ
"I'll ask if it's okay first. โ
"WellโI didn't explicitly say no. However, in the past, all the Hundred Flowers Festivals, all female disciples competed, and male disciples generally chose to bloom their brilliance at the Taiyan Prefecture Immortal Dao Competition. โ
"Taiyan Prefecture Immortal Dao Dabi, what is this?"
"It is an immortal dao grand event jointly organized by the major sects, major countries, and immortal cultivation alliances composed of some scattered cultivators in Taiyan Prefecture, and the strongest forces in the entire Taiyan Prefecture will gather at the grand event, divided into two levels of competition, the Enlightenment Realm and the Yuan Shen Realm, and the winner will receive supreme glory and the most generous reward. โ
"So that's the case, so when will this Taiyan Immortal Dao Contest be held?"
"This is later than the Hundred Flowers Festival, which was held more than 500 years later. โ
Zhan Chen thought to himself: "Five hundred years from now, it seems that this Dabi has nothing to do with me." He had already planned in his heart, as soon as he found the specific location of Conch Point, he would immediately return to the Linghe Sect to protect his family, and then when he had enough strength, he would go to Qiao to find a shame.
At this time, he heard Gong Xinyan confirm again: "How about Zhan Chen, are you sure to participate in the mission together next Monday?"
"Sister Gong, you can take me there, although I may not be able to help you, but I will never hold you back. Zhan Chen said confidently.
Gong Xinyan sighed and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you must listen to me when you go out, follow me closely, and don't walk around, otherwise you will be prone to danger." โ
"Hmm!"
A week passed like this, and a week later, Gong Xinyan led Zhan Chen to a small forest in the Qin Xiao Sect, where there were already four people waiting.
Zhan Chen carefully observed the four of them, although he couldn't see their cultivation, he still felt that these four women all exuded a powerful aura, and they were not much weaker than Gong Xinyan.
When the four of them saw Gong Xinyan coming, they all said, "Gong Xinyan, why did you come, we have been waiting for you for a while." โ
Gong Xinyan replied, "I'm sorry, I was delayed on the road. โ
At this time, a woman in a bright red palace dress focused her eyes on Zhan Chen behind Gong Xinyan and asked, "Xinyan, could it be that this man behind you is the Zhan Chen you said?"
Gong Xinyan replied: "Yes, he is my newly recognized godbrother." โ
"Don't be kidding, his cultivation is only at the beginning of the Yuan Shen Stage, you have to know what kind of place we are going to, he will only drag his feet when the time comes. โ
"Of course I know that Zhan Chen is protected by me, and I must take him with me, and if you really don't want to, then I can only quit. โ
When the four women heard that Gong Xinyan was going to quit, they were at a loss for a while, they got together, discussed a few words, and the woman in the red palace dress finally arrived: "Okay Xinyan, after all, we have been sisters for so long, allow you to be willful." โ
Gong Xinyan clapped her hands and smiled: "Long live understanding, thank you, Liu Sijia, I love you to death." Then she turned her head to Zhan Chen behind her and said, "Zhan Chen, come here, I'll introduce you to these senior sisters." โ
Zhan Chen nodded and stepped forward, Gong Xinyan pointed to the woman in the red palace dress and said, "This is Senior Sister Liu Sijia." โ
Zhan Chen saluted Liu Sijia and said, "Senior Sister Liu is good." โ
Gong Xinyan pointed to a woman with a few freckles on her face and said, "This is Senior Sister Lei Chunyan." โ
"Hello, Senior Sister Lei. Zhan Chen saluted Lei Chunyan again.
Gong Xinyan pointed to the remaining two and said: "They are Senior Sister Wang Qiong and Senior Sister Qian Ning, don't underestimate these senior sisters, they are all my good sisters, elite disciples of the Great Perfection of the Yuan Shen." โ
Zhan Chen also saluted them one by one. At this time, Liu Sijia smiled and said: "That's it, Xinyan, this younger brother of yours is also cute and polite, and he is also very handsome, by the way, are you really just sisters and brothers?"
"Of course it's true!" Gong Xinyan couldn't help but scream.
The other four women all looked at Gong Xinyan with suspicious eyes, their faces full of suspicion.
Seeing this, Gong Xinyan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's stop talking about useless things here, let's hurry up, after all, we only have three months." โ
"Okay, don't rush, count you as the most anxious at the beginning, and you have to pull us to accompany you on the task. Liu Sijia spread her hands and said.
"Anyway, everyone needs to go to the cultivation tower to cultivate and prepare for the Hundred Flowers Festival, right?"
As they spoke, they walked in the direction of the Qinxiao Sect, and Zhan Chen followed, and the group came to the disciples, registered the tasks, and the guards there gave each of them a token.
Zhan Chen took the token and looked through it, and asked Gong Xinyan on the side curiously: "Senior Sister Gong, what is this token used for?"
Gong Xinyan glanced at it and said: "This is the token of leaving the sect, and it is also the key to enter the secret realm, only if you hand it over to the disciple who guards the gate of the secret realm, you will be allowed to leave the secret realm, and if you return to the sect, as long as you hold the token, you can enter the entrance of the secret realm unimpeded." โ
Zhan Chenqi said: "I didn't expect this small token to have such a big effect. He thought of something again and asked, "By the way, I haven't been able to understand, if it's an outer disciple of the Immortal Yuan Realm, how can I enter and leave the secret realm?"
