After listening to Li Xiaolan say all this,
Lin Xuankong and Xiao Ying'er then realized what was happening.
Xiao Ying'er felt a sense of pressure rising in her heart.
A hint of melancholy lingered on her ethereal, fair face.
"I had already guessed that it wouldn't be easy to stand out at the Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony this time!"
As it turned out, my Husband and I not only had to face the prodigies from various dynasties, but also the genius disciples from some immortal sects!
"Well, my so-called title of being ranked eighteenth among tens of thousands of geniuses is seriously exaggerated!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolan moved closer to Xiao Ying'er, pinched her delicate cheek, and said with a smile, "Actually, Ying'er, you don't need to worry too much. Although those immortal sect disciples can obtain a lot of resources, you have the Great Xia Dynasty behind you, especially your Husband, who is a powerful figure. You can also obtain a lot of resources!"
"Isn't it possible that they possess low-level Demon King- level beasts and Early Stage Immortal Artifact? Although we don't have Demon King -level beasts and immortal artifacts, we can just prepare them during this time!"
Third Princess Xiao Ying'er's pretty face changed, "Those are a low-level Demon King- level beast and a celestial artifact. Even the Crane Immortal Sect only has one celestial artifact, and my Husband only has one. Obtaining a celestial artifact is not easy, and raising a demon Demon King- level beast is even more difficult!"
Lin Xuankong's feelings were quite complicated at this moment.
I knew very little about the Earth Immortal Realm realm before. I thought that after becoming an Earth Immortal, I would travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, roaming freely between heaven and earth!
I never imagined that advancing to the Earth Immortal realm would be so difficult.
When Mortal Transformation Realm cultivator breaks through, they at most need some spiritual items.
If you don't get it, your cultivation level will be blocked. As a result, when you break through to the Earth Immortal Realm realm, you will directly face all kinds of heavenly tribulations, and you will die and your cultivation will be destroyed at any time!
Of course, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hide away, suppress one's cultivation level, and avoid facing the Heavenly Tribulation. After all, the lifespan of Early Earth Immortal is eight thousand years. I once consumed a large amount of Turtle Agaric Miracle Pill, so I estimate that after advancing to the Early Earth Immortal, I would be over ten thousand years old. At that time, my lifespan as a Early Earth Immortal would be longer than that of many Medium Grade Earth Immortal!
But he possesses the Old and Vigorous Destiny even in old age, and his cultivation speed far surpasses that of other cultivators. If he were to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm realm in the future, how could he possibly be content to stop here and remain a low-grade Earth Immortal?
If one is unwilling to accept this, then one must fight for this Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, which can enable cultivators to form Six Paths Golden Core, no matter what!
Thinking of this, he looked at the somewhat troubled Third Princess Xiao Ying'er and said with a firm expression:
"Ying'er, don't worry, I'll think of something. There are still almost twenty days until the official apprenticeship ceremony. During this time, I'm sure I can find a way to greatly increase your strength!"
Xiao Ying'er's heart had been heavy, but seeing Lin Xuankong's firm resolve, her brows relaxed and a smile appeared on her face. "Yes, Ying'er believes in my Husband!"
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Xiaolan, "We've already eaten more than a dozen pies and seven or eight delicious dishes. My wife should be full by now. Why don't we find a quiet place to rest for a while?"
Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words, Xiao Ying'er lowered her head slightly, a blush creeping onto her face.
Li Xiaolan paused for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'm not full yet!"
"Also, there's something else important I need to tell you!"
Lin Xuankong chuckled, "We can talk privately, though! My Blood Burning Technique and Frenzied Tiger Roaring Bone Technique have recently reached perfection, greatly increasing my combat power. I've been wanting you and Yu Fei to try them out for a while now!"
Li Xiaolan's pretty face changed, and she frowned repeatedly. "Can't you be serious for once? You're doing this in front of Ying'er! I really have something important to say, it's about the Ascension Treasure Pill!"
Regarding the Ascension Treasure Pill, Lin Xuankong's expression shifted. "My wife shouldn't have cultivated her alchemy to the Immortal Rank yet, right? Could it be that she's already confident in refining a true Ascension Treasure Pill?"
Li Xiaolan shook her head slightly, "Although my current alchemy skills can only guarantee the production of magic-grade pills, I have been studying under my master Qu Wan'er for more than a year and have gained a lot of insights into the refining of Ascension Treasure Pill!"
Even if I can't refine the Ascension Treasure Pill Ascension Treasure Pill a 100% success rate like my master, as long as I have enough materials, I might be able to succeed in refining one batch after ten or eight batches!
Lin Xuankong said, "If one out of ten batches can be successfully completed, that would be quite good!"
Li Xiaolan shook her head and said, "The various spiritual herbs and medicines required for the Ascension Treasure Pill are extremely precious and are controlled by various immortal sects, making them very difficult to collect. Even my master, Qu Wan'er, has only collected enough materials for one batch in the last hundred years to successfully refine twenty Ascension Treasure Pill!"
"If I could collect a dozen or so batches of spiritual herbs and medicines, it would be such a waste to use them for practice!"
Lin Xuankong asked in confusion, "What does the lady mean by bringing this up?"
Li Xiaolan said, "Recently, cultivators from all over have gathered in Crane Immortal City."
There were also quite a few disciples from various immortal sects.
Therefore, the crane auction in Crane Immortal City has been quite popular recently.
A few days ago, my master Qu Wan'er received news that the seeds of the three most essential spiritual herbs for the Ascension Treasure Pill would be auctioned at the Spirit Crane Auction!
However, her master said that many sects would probably go to the auction to bid for it, and even she might not be able to win the bid.
After all, the starting bid for those three kinds of spiritual herb seeds is a full three thousand Profound Truth Jade Stone. If there are many competitors, who knows how high the price will go!
Lin Xuankong raised an eyebrow and said, "Ying'er means, you want me to go to the auction? To get those three grass seeds?"
Li Xiaolan took out a jade slip covered with inscriptions from her bosom, "It's more than just those three grass seeds!"
To advance to the Early Earth Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill to properly temper one's Immortal Body! Therefore, even if I become proficient in refining Ascension Treasure Pill in the future, I will still need to collect a large number of spiritual herbs and medicines. Rather than starting to collect them later, it's better to start preparing now!
This jade slip records the various spiritual herbs and medicines needed for the Ascension Treasure Pill, a total of seventy-two kinds, most of which are extremely valuable!
Lin Xuankong took the jade slip and examined it carefully for a while. He frowned. Most of the spiritual herbs and medicines inside were ones he had never heard of or seen in the Great Xia Dynasty. Clearly, the production areas of these spiritual herbs and medicines were controlled by various immortal sects, or they were simply planted in the secret realms of the Heavenly Demon Bone owned by those Earth Immortals. Collecting them all would not be a simple matter!
I really need to do as Xiaolan said and start collecting properly now. Otherwise, even if I enter the Crane Immortal Sect in the future, become a disciple of the sect, and form the Sixth Heavenly Meridian, it will probably take a long time before I can advance to the Early Earth Immortal Realm and have strength far beyond what I have now!
Seeing his brows furrow slightly, Li Xiaolan smiled and said:
Look at your worried little face.
Don't worry! Of these seventy-two kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines, I have collected about fifty kinds in the year or so I spent at the Crane Immortal Sect. There are only a dozen or so left that I haven't collected yet!
Crane Immortal City is rich in resources, especially recently. As long as you keep this in mind and start taking action soon, working with me to find ways to collect them, it shouldn't take too long!
Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised, "You've already collected over fifty kinds?"
Li Xiaolan nodded and said, "That's right! They're all planted in my own private herb garden at the Crane Immortal Sect!"
Hearing her say that, Lin Xuankong suddenly thought of his Grass and Wood Pure Bottle. "I recently obtained some spiritual liquid that can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs and medicines. Why don't you transplant your spiritual herbs and medicines into my Bashan Secret Realm? That way, the yield will probably increase greatly!"
Upon hearing this, both Li Xiaolan and Xiao Ying'er looked at Lin Xuankong in surprise.
Xiao Ying'er frowned and said, "As far as I know, the growth of spiritual herbs and medicines cannot be forced. How could there be any treasure in this world that can accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs and medicines!"
Li Xiaolan's eyes darted around, as if she had suddenly thought of something.
"I have heard of a treasure in this world that can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs and medicines!"
These treasures are two White Jade Pure Bottle blessed by Yuzhen Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva with the strongest Buddhist and Daoist realm in the Lingtai Buddhist Sect sect. They are called the Grass and Wood Pure Bottle and the Lingtai Vase, respectively.
These two purification bottles contain Buddhist Grass and Wood Pure Bottle that can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs by 366 times.
The Buddhist elixir produced by that spiritual altar can accelerate the growth of plants by 412 times!
"My Husband, did you perhaps obtain some spiritual liquid from Grass and Wood Pure Bottle or a spirit purification bottle?"
At this point, her eyes lit up.
"If one could obtain even a drop of the spiritual liquid from that Grass and Wood Pure Bottle or spirit platform purification bottle, it could accelerate the growth rate of a herb by hundreds of times!"
"Tell me quickly, how many drops did you get, and how did you get them?"
The Third Princess, Xiao Ying'er, looked surprised.
Even though she was the Third Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, she had never heard of it.
There is actually a precious elixir in this world that can accelerate the growth of plants hundreds of times!
Her eyes gleamed, and she thought to herself: If I possessed this spiritual liquid, and used it to accelerate the growth of plants, wouldn't I be able to increase my harvest many times over compared to others!
Lin Xuankong said, "Anyway, there is some spiritual liquid, probably enough for one drop for each of your spiritual herbs and medicines!"
Li Xiaolan shook her head repeatedly.
"It is said that such spiritual liquid can fetch forty grade-grade Profound Truth Jade Stone at the Linghe Auction in Crane Immortal City. Its value is extremely high, several times more expensive than some low-grade magic artifacts!"
Even if you manage to obtain some spiritual liquid by chance, how could you possibly obtain too much?
In my private little herb garden, I have planted thousands of spiritual herbs and plants, with dozens or even hundreds of each type!
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but laugh, "Several thousand trees, that's alright. Anyway, each spiritual herb only needs a drop of spiritual liquid!"
Upon hearing his words, Li Xiaolan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Oh dear, it's been over a year, and your breath has gotten increasingly pungent. Your mouth smells like chives!"
Lin Xuankong was speechless. "That mouthful of chives must be some beautiful young lady. I haven't eaten a single chive pancake!"
The pear-shaped smiling face paused for a moment:
Xiao Ying'er chuckled.
Lin Xuankong then took out a wooden gourd and shook it at Li Xiaolan, "This contains that spiritual liquid, or more precisely, Plant Spirit Liquid!"
A moment later,
Lin Xuankong, along with Li Xiaolan and Xiao Ying'er, secretly left Fuyuan Immortal Inn and arrived at a house that Li Xiaolan had bought in the past two days.
The size of this residence is similar to that of Lin Xuankong's residence in Great Marsh Prefecture. However, this is Crane Immortal City, where land is extremely valuable, and ordinary cultivators are not allowed to buy residences here. Those who can afford to buy a large residence here are either disciples of the Crane Immortal Sect, Earth Immortals, or members of other immortal sects.
As Qu Wan'er's True Disciple, Li Xiaolan, although not as powerful or influential as the other Earth Immortals and their descendants in Crane Immortal City, still held considerable power and status, which allowed her to purchase such a large mansion!
The incredibly thoughtful Li Xiaolan even dug a spacious underground cave in one of the large houses beforehand and set up a small array using defensive jade tablets to isolate sound and vibrations.
So, Lin Xuankong opened the teleportation gate to the Bashan Secret Realm inside the cave, and led Xiao Ying'er and Li Xiaolan into the secret realm.
Lin Xuankong handed the wooden gourd to Li Xiaolan and Xiao Ying'er, allowing these two women, who still couldn't believe it, to personally test the effects of the Plant Spirit Liquid. Then, he flashed to Fei Long Slope, where Xiao Xiuyi was.
Lin Xuankong was quite confident about the upcoming Crane Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony!
However, the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er didn't even have a single magical artifact. Since he had promised Ying'er to help her make some preparations before the disciple-acceptance ceremony, he naturally had to 'trouble' this woman he called his wife Xiao Xiuyi, and ask her to help him refine a magical artifact!
I just teleported to Flying Fei Long Slope.
A tall figure dressed in black landed beside Lin Xuankong; it was none other than Xiao Xiuyi, the Artifact Refining Prodigy whom even Lin Xuankong himself admired.
She glanced at Lin Xuankong. "I finally managed to find some time today to relax and reflect on my recent insights into weapon crafting, and here you are! Hmm, you must be asking me to craft some strange thing again, right? Tell me, are you planning to craft a Xuan Iron helicopter, a Xuan Iron ship, or the Xuan Iron cannon or Xuan Iron spaceship you asked me to craft last time?"
Lin Xuankong paused, "Can't I just come to visit Miss Xiao?"
Xiao Xiuyi shook her head slightly, "Hehe!"
Lin Xuankong:
He sighed, "Well... I really do need your Miss Xiao this time!"
Xiao Xiuyi raised an eyebrow and said, "Looks like the plan to rest for twelve hours is ruined again! Hmm, so tell me, what are you planning to refine?"
Lin Xuankong said, "I plan to have Miss Xiao help me refine a few more Early Stage Immortal Artifact!"
Xiao Xiuyi was a little puzzled. "You already have that third-grade Qing Ming Immortal Sword. There are only a handful of such immortal weapons in the entire Central Divine Dynasty. Why do you still want to forge more immortal weapons? If you forge several more Third-Grade Immortal Artifact, the True Qi you need to nurture them will be several times greater!"
Lin Xuankong sighed and briefly recounted the events.
Xiao Xiuyi suddenly realized, and she frowned and said, "Since it is the disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Crane Immortal Sect and she is fighting with others, it is indeed not advisable to use a third-grade Third-Grade Immortal Artifact easily. It is best to use Early Stage Immortal Artifact to avoid attracting too many people to covet it!"
However, if I only help you refine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, you and Xiao Ying'er won't have much of an advantage against other opponents!
Lin Xuankong frowned and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just expose our trump cards to tens of thousands or even more cultivators!"
Xiao Xiuyi nodded slightly, then frowned and began to ponder.
After a long pause, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "In that case, how about I forge a few more Early Stage Immortal Artifact for you, dozens of them? When you fight someone, if one immortal artifact isn't enough to suppress the opponent, you can use two. If two aren't enough, you can use twenty. If twenty immortal artifacts aren't enough, you can use thirty or forty. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong's expression changed, and he thought to himself: Only this super weapon-refining genius, Xiao Xiuyi, would dare to say such a thing—throwing dozens of immortal weapons at once at someone? Even the sect leader of the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect might not be that extravagant! Those are immortal weapons that even the Crane Immortal Sect doesn't have many of. Taking out a whole bunch of them to throw at someone?
"Well, we don't need that many! Three to five should be enough to stop anyone!" Lin Xuankong said hesitantly.
Xiao Xiuyi suddenly thought of something, "I've recently gained some special insights into weapon crafting. If you can prepare the materials for forty-nine Early Stage Immortal Artifact, I can give you a big surprise!"
Lin Xuankong was taken aback. Forty-nine materials for a Early Stage Immortal Artifact? Miss Xiao, what are you going to refine? Are you going to make something big?
