Chapter 92 Rumors

Chapter 92 Rumors
Three days later, Mo Jingchun came to Zhuming Mountain and handed two low-grade talismans to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan accepted the talisman and had a secret conversation with Mo Jingchun for a long time before sending him away.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan went to the Alchemy Pavilion and received the task of refining thirty furnaces of Yuhua Pills.

But he did not rent the Earth Fire Palace. Instead, he returned to the cave and used the flames condensed by his magic power to refine the elixir.

This would slightly reduce the quality of the pill, and sometimes even reduce the success rate by 10%, but it would not block out the sunlight, allowing Chen Yuan to draw starlight into his body every seven days.

When he was refining these thirty furnaces of Yuhua Pills, his mind was immersed in it, extremely focused, and it consumed a great deal of his energy.

After each alchemy session, he would first ponder calmly, sum up his experiences and lessons, and carefully comprehend the alchemy tips recorded in "Zhang Family Alchemy Essentials" before starting the next alchemy session.

Except for the time before and after drawing the starlight into the body, when one needs to meditate to restore magic power, the rest of the time is spent on refining the elixir.

During this process, Chen Yuan's alchemy skills, which had been stagnant for a long time, were finally improved again.

When refining the nineteenth batch of pills, the success rate reached 70%.

At this point, he had already thoroughly comprehended 90% of "The Essentials of Zhang Family Alchemy", and there were only two foundation-building pill recipes that he had not yet mastered.

Yuhua Dan is one of the most difficult elixirs to refine among those used in the Qi Refining Stage.

A 70% success rate means that as long as Chen Yuan refines dozens of foundation-building pills and accumulates experience, he will definitely become a master alchemist.

But this did not stop Chen Yuan. He continued to study alchemy. When refining each batch of Yuhua Dan, he would devote all his energy and carefully feel every change of the spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace.

When refining the 30th batch of pills, Chen Yuan had a vague feeling that he seemed to have touched the threshold of 80% success rate.

He immediately rushed to the Alchemy Pavilion and took on the task of refining three furnaces of Yuhua Pills.

At this time, there is less than a month left before the Dongxu Mountain secret realm is opened.

This time, Chen Yuan did not rush back to the cave, but rented a ground fire hall.

He wants to use the pure and stable earth fire to achieve an 80% pill success rate!
……

When Chen Yuan was studying alchemy painstakingly, a rumor quietly spread in Lingyun Sect.

The sect attaches great importance to this trip to the secret realm and will send the most top-notch Qi-refining disciples into it.

Not only that, the sect also wants to recruit disciples who have reached the tenth level of Qi Refining to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

Before the secret realm opens, the registered disciples will be given a top-grade magic weapon, fifty low-grade spirit stones, and five mid-grade magic talismans as rewards.

When the rumor first spread, the Qi-refining disciples in the Lingyun Sect all scoffed at it.

Everyone knows that those who entered the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to risk their lives in the past were all independent disciples who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference.

Lingyun Sect gave them a chance to build a foundation, and they needed to bring back rare spiritual herbs for Lingyun Sect, among which the three main ingredients for refining the foundation-building pill were the most important.

The top disciples are extremely talented. They can build their foundation by just practicing in the sect. Why would they risk entering the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain?
As for the news that magic tools, spirit stones and talismans will be given out as rewards after registration, it is even more nonsense.

When did the sect become so generous? Historically, only disciples who passed the Ascension Conference could obtain a top-grade White Cloud Sword, but they had never been rewarded with spirit stones or talismans.

No one believed the rumor and just treated it as a joke.

But as this rumor spread more and more widely, more and more foundation-building cultivators privately confirmed it, and the Qi-refining disciples of the Lingyun Sect had to take this rumor seriously.

Two months before the secret realm opened, Xu Chang'an, the Jindan elder who is currently in charge of the sect, announced that he would send top disciples into the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm, and at the same time recruit disciples at the tenth level of Qi Refining to enter the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm to collect spiritual herbs.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the low-level disciples of Lingyun Sect.

The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is so dangerous. Those top disciples can cultivate to the foundation-building stage safely, so why do they want to enter the secret realm and risk their lives?

They found their respective teachers and relatives, complained and begged, tried to ask, in short, they did not want to enter the secret realm. But the teachers who had doted on them in the past were powerless this time.

Some disciples went to the Jindan elder to plead for mercy, but returned in vain.

After all the hard work, this is the result. These gifted young people naturally cannot accept it.

They are gifted and will surely succeed in building a foundation in the future. They are all influential figures and have many followers among the low-level disciples. Their private complaints soon spread within the sect.

But at this moment, another rumor spread, saying that the person who made this decision was the leader of Lingyun Sect, the Nascent Soul cultivator Xuan Yuanzi.

After these words were spoken, no one dared to express dissatisfaction.

Rather than saying that the six major sects are the six major sects, it would be better to say that they are the six major cultivators.

Xuan Yuanzi has the final say in Lingyun Sect, and no one dares to go against his decisions.

Moreover, Elder Xu Changan made it clear that disciples coming out of the secret realm can obtain spiritual weapons, spiritual talismans, and foundation-building elixirs as rewards, depending on the amount of spiritual herbs they hand in. The rewards are not limited to foundation-building elixirs, so these top disciples will not make a wasted trip.

With the pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivators above and generous rewards as bait below, they had no choice but to accept this order.

If the top disciples were full of resentment, the other low-level disciples were very excited about the rewards announced by the sect.

Before entering the secret realm, there are rewards of magic tools, spirit stones, and talismans. If you are lucky enough to find rare spiritual herbs in the secret realm and bring them out, you can also exchange them for foundation-building pills, spirit tools, spirit talismans, and cultivation pills, and your road will be smooth from then on.

Some disciples with true spiritual roots who had never considered entering the secret realm before signed up to enter the secret realm as soon as possible. Many miscellaneous disciples who had failed to break through the foundation building stage also signed up enthusiastically.

But at the same time, there are also many cautious people who see that this trip to the secret realm will inevitably lead to fighting that is ten or a hundred times more brutal than before, and they dare not sign up.

These people make up the majority among the low-level disciples. After all, cultivators who can cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining are all shrewd ones.

Only those who are extremely powerful and confident dare to enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain.

As the time left for the opening of the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm was getting shorter, more and more people signed up. Together with the independent cultivators participating in the Ascension Conference, the registration ended ten days before the secret realm opened. A total of eighty-seven people wanted to enter the Dongxu Mountain Secret Realm.

Among these eighty-seven people, except for the independent cultivators of varying quality who entered the sect through the Ascension Conference, the rest of the disciples are the best among the low-level disciples of Lingyun Sect. They have great skills and their strength is at least equal to that of Huang Yundao.

Among them, there are more than a dozen top disciples with countless hidden cards. Not only are they extremely talented, but they have also gone through a lot of trials. They are not just useless people who have only cultivation but no fighting skills.

They have pure magical powers, are proficient in spells, and possess magical instruments and treasures bestowed by their masters. Barring any unexpected events, they will be able to bring back the most rare spiritual herbs to Lingyun Sect.

……

Baishi Peak is a peak over 900 feet high at the gate of Lingyun Sect. It is majestic and magnificent with a variety of scenes.

There were more than a dozen foundation-building monks who opened up caves on the mountain.
On the second day after the registration ended, a Qi Refining Level 10 disciple came to Baishi Peak, outside a cave, released a sound transmission talisman, and waited respectfully.

This man looked to be in his thirties, with a straight nose, deep eyes, and a strange bun, and seemed to be from a foreign country.

After waiting for a while, the stone door of the cave opened. He chuckled, walked in, and came to a stone hall with simple and elegant furnishings.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall was a wealthy monk with a full forehead and a square chin. It was Huang Anhe.

When he saw the person coming, his face darkened and he said in obvious displeasure:
"He Xin, if you are not planning on your trip to the secret realm, what do you want from me?"

The Qi Refining disciple bowed to Huang Anhe with a respectful expression and said:

"Uncle Huang, after thinking it over, I still feel that this deal is a loss. Uncle Huang needs to add some spirit stones."

It will probably be late tomorrow, I will try to update on time.
