Gifts of Spirit Fruits from a Fellow Disciple

Generally speaking, one bottle of Dust-Cleansing Pill can wash away Shen Long's aura from the Lower Realm realm. The extra four bottles of Dust-Cleansing Pill are used to feed Spirit Beast. Any living being from the Lower Realm to the Lingxu Realm must have its aura from the Lower Realm washed away, otherwise there will be Minor Heavenly Tribulation every hundred years and Major Heavenly Tribulation every thousand years.

According to Lin Huahua, Demon Beast from the Lower Realm can also ascend to the Lingxu Realm once they reach the mid-stage of the fifth rank. They are often taken in as Spirit Beast by the cultivators guarding the Ascension Platform, or killed by the cultivators.

Some Demon Beast, after cultivating to the early stage of the fifth rank, sneak into the Lingxu Realm, facing a near-death experience. Those who barely survive undergo a Minor Heavenly Tribulation every hundred years and a Major Heavenly Tribulation every thousand years, with each tribulation becoming more powerful than the last.

If you don't wash away the aura of the Lower Realm, you'll be struck down by heavenly tribulation sooner or later.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and Shen Long quickly circulated his internal energy to refine its medicinal power.

After a short while, he finished his practice, entered the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, and fed each of the Thunder Peng, Four-Tailed Spirit Fox, Fire Qilin Beast, and Nine-Headed Ghost Dove a Dust-Cleansing Pill.

He has many Spirit Beast Spirit Insect Spirit Bird, and four bottles of Dust-Cleansing Pill are far from enough. He needs more Dust-Cleansing Pill. It's better to rely on himself than others; it would be best if he refined the Dust-Cleansing Pill himself.

He needs to pass the alchemy examination of the Thousand Spirits Sect to become Alchemist before he can access the Pill Formula collected by the Thousand Spirits Sect.

As Shen Long exited the Ten Thousand Beast Tower, a Message Crane flew in and circled around him incessantly.

"Senior Sister Lin is back so soon?"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised. He cast a spell, Message Crane crane glowed brightly, emitting a silvery female voice. "Junior Brother Shen, I am Li Tianxue. The Sect Master is my master. I have come to see you on his orders."

"The Sect Mistress's disciple!"

Shen Long dared not delay and quickly went out.

He opened the gate of Golden Roc Garden, and a beautiful young woman in a white dress stood at the entrance. The young woman's aura was even stronger than Shen Long's.

"Senior Sister Li, please come in."

Shen Long gestured for Li Tianxue to come in.

"Junior Brother Shen, you're not aware of the situation in the Lingxu Realm, are you?"

Li Tianxue asked the question.

"Senior Sister Lin came by, and she told me a lot about the situation in the Lingxu Realm."

Shen Long said.

"Are you having any difficulties? Tell me boldly. We are all grand-disciples of Master Wu, so it's only right that we take care of each other."

Li Tianxue's tone was warm.

"I wish to become Alchemist in this sect. I wonder what the standards are for the alchemy assessment?"

Shen Long asked politely.

"If you succeed three times with five sets of materials, you'll pass the alchemy assessment and be eligible for some alchemy tasks. If you have time, Junior Brother Shen, I can take you to Golden Flame Peak now to participate in the alchemy assessment."

Li Tianxue said with a smile.

"Senior Sister Li, how many disciples did Grandmaster Wu take in? I'm very interested in the development of our sect. I forgot to ask Senior Sister Lin earlier. Could you tell me about it?"

Shen Long said sincerely.

Li Tianxue smiled and nodded, saying, "As far as I know, Grandmaster Wu currently has five disciples, but only my master remains. All the other senior masters have passed away. After Grandmaster Wu ascended to the Lingxu Realm, he did not join any other forces but instead established his own sect."

She recounted the history of the Thousand Spirits Sect. After the True Monarch Spirit Control advanced to the Void Refining stage, he established the Thousand Spirits Sect. After many years of development, the Thousand Spirits Sect controlled a territory of trillions of miles, had hundreds of thousands of disciples, and possessed three Body Integration Cultivator, which was quite impressive.

The True Monarch Spirit Control currently has five disciples. Three of them died at the hands of alien cultivators, one died while traveling, and only Mo Bingbing remains.

"Nearly ten thousand Spirit Transformation cultivators!"

Shen Long's face showed a look of sudden realization. The area of the Gan Yang Realm was only a few billion miles, while the territory controlled by the Thousand Spirits Sect was thousands of times larger than the Gan Yang Realm.

"You don't need to worry, we are the genuine direct lineage, and you are Alchemist, so your treatment won't be bad."

Li Tianxue thought Shen Long was worried about future resource issues, so she quickly comforted him.

"Senior Sister Li, is it very difficult to the Lower Realm? Didn't Grandmaster Wu send anyone Lower Realm?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"It's very difficult for our Thousand Spirits Sect. Generally speaking, cultivators from the Lingxu Realm Pivot Lower Realm using Top-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure. The Big Dipper Pavilion has a Realm-Breaking Disk, which is a very precious treasure. Seventh Order Formation or Seventh Order Secret Talisman can also be used to the Lower Realm."

Li Tianxue explained, then, as if remembering something, continued, "Of the Ten Great Factions Human Race powers on the Green Lotus Continent alone, fewer than five can send people down to the Lower Realm realm. It's not that Grandmaster Wu doesn't want to send people Lower Realm; we simply don't have the capability."

"I see. It seems the Big Dipper Pavilion is quite powerful. I wonder how it compares to the Heaven Origin Race."

Shen Long continued to ask.

"The Heaven Origin Race used to be very strong. In the Race War hundreds of years ago, the Heaven Origin Race lost twelve Nascent Body Integration Cultivator, which severely damaged their strength. They won't recover their strength so quickly."

Li Tianxue explained.

"Twelve Nascent Body Integration Cultivator perished in the Race War? Only severely weakened?"

Shen Long was shocked.

"The Heaven Origin Race is, after all, an ancient race with a history of over a million years. It was once one of the ten major races of the Green Lotus Continent. However, it has suffered many calamities and is now only a medium-sized race. During that Race War, Grandmaster Wu killed a Body Integration Cultivator and severely injured two others."

Li Tianxue looked proud. Remembering something, she took out two exquisite cyan Jade Box and handed them to Shen Long, saying, "These are a Life-Extending Fruit and a Yang-Increasing Fruit. Consuming these two spiritual fruits will increase your lifespan by a thousand years. I don't have anything special, just a small token of my appreciation."

"To increase lifespan by a thousand years?"

Shen Long gasped in surprise, saying that if this were in the Lower Realm, it would definitely cause a frenzy among Spirit Transformation cultivators.

"It's nothing, it's not like it's Ten Great Spirit Fruits. It might be rare in the Lower Realm Lingxu Realm, but it's nothing special in the Spirit Pivot Realm. By the way, I'll give you this Myriad Insect Catalog. It records the Spirit Insect on the Myriad Insect Ranking. If you encounter any of the Spirit Insect on it, you can consider subduing them."

Li Tianxue took out a book that seemed to shimmer with spiritual light and handed it to Shen Long.

"The Myriad Insect Catalog! Thank you so much, Senior Sister Li."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

"When do you plan to participate in the alchemy assessment? I'm free anytime."

Li Tianxue said enthusiastically.

"I'm fine right now, let's go! It's good to pass the alchemy assessment as soon as possible."

Shen Long said.

With a flick of her wrist, Li Tianxue released a giant butterfly from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

The butterfly's body surface has patterns of various colors, and judging from its aura, it is Spirit Insect at the early stage of the fifth rank.

"This Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly flies quite fast."

Li Tianxue explained, and Shen Long followed her onto its back.

Li Tianxue instructed, "Go to Golden Flame Peak."

"Yes, Master."

The Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly agreed.

"Such high Bloodline Purity? Even fifth-order Spirit Insect in the Lingxu Realm can speak human language?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"Of course not. I bought a Spirit Enlightenment Pill at Underground Auction years ago and fed it to it, which enabled it to speak. Most fifth-tier demonic insects Demon Beast in the Lingxu Realm are still unable to speak."

Li Tianxue explained.

With a gentle flap of its wings, the Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly soared into the sky.
