Azure Xuan Region is the leader of the sect.

Each major sect controls an area and occupies different Spirit Vein and mountains and rivers. Exchange activities between sects are the main form of diplomacy. Rogue Cultivator survives as a group, and ultimately it is the sect that decides the allocation of resources.

Heavenly South Domain is a dynasty-dominated structure. There are three major dynasties in the entire region, and the royal family is the absolute center of power. Whether it is cultivating immortals Lineage or sects, they are all under the jurisdiction of the dynasty.

The core cultivators of the emperor and the royal family are the most powerful system members in the entire dynasty.

The first thing I want to introduce is Myriad Stars Dynasty.

The destination of their trip is there. The other end of the Divine Sword Sect's cross-domain teleportation array is located in the Myriad Stars Dynasty. It has good relations with the royal family and is a teleportation point jointly managed by both parties. The fee for teleportation back from Heavenly South Domain is charged by the Myriad Stars Dynasty.

The characteristic of the Myriad Stars Dynasty is that all religions coexist and are the most inclusive. Buddhism, Daoism, Rogue Cultivator alliance, mercenary guild, and chamber of commerce alliance are all available. As long as they abide by the laws of the dynasty, any force can set up branches in the Myriad Stars Dynasty.

This open attitude has made Myriad Stars Dynasty the most prosperous area for Heavenly South Domain business, but it has also led to the most intense internal power struggles.

Their teleportation destination is the border city "Falling Star City" of the Myriad Stars Dynasty.

To the northwest of the Myriad Stars Dynasty is the pure land of Buddhism - Great Brahma Dynasty, which is a dynasty that combines religion and government.

The royal family supports three major Buddhist sects, Golden Summit Temple, Bodhi Monastery, and Brahma Sound Valley. The entire dynasty believes in Buddhism from top to bottom. The Buddhist cultivators of the Great Brahma Dynasty are famous for their physical strength. The indestructible golden body of a high-level Buddhist cultivator is said to be able to resist physical cultivators of the same level.

Every emperor of the royal family will enter a Buddhist temple to practice Buddhism after he abdicates. The descendants of the royal family must also be trained in Buddhist temples from an early age. Great Brahma Dynasty has the lowest tolerance for paganism. Foreign Daoist cultivators and Rogue Cultivator will be subject to many restrictions there. It is best for Azure Xuan Region monks not to go there.

Jade Firmament Dynasty regards Daoism as the state religion and advocates the way of nature.

The level of alchemy is the highest in the entire Heavenly South Domain, and the dynasty has a close relationship with the Aristocratic Clan, the major alchemists. The elixirs produced by the Jade Firmament Dynasty are the most famous among the three dynasties, and high-level elixirs are even There is a price but no market. However, Jade Firmament Dynasty's family background is also the most important. It is difficult for foreign Rogue Cultivator to gain a foothold there. The inheritance of alchemy is firmly controlled by the royal family and a few Aristocratic Clan.

Under the three major dynasties, the organizational forms of various forces are much richer than Azure Xuan Region. There are Lineage who have been cultivating immortals for hundreds of thousands of years, local sects that have been officially canonized by the court, as well as specific business houses, mercenary teams, etc. All forces need to be recognized by the dynasty before they can be legally established, including the right to use Spirit Vein, the right to operate the market, the sales license for elixirs, etc., all of which need to be applied to the court.

The last sentence in Jade Slip is. "Because the dynasty system of Heavenly South Domain is similar to that of a mortal kingdom, immortal cultivators can hold official positions in the court and manage the affairs of one party. The dynasty controls the mining and use rights of major Spirit Vein within the territory, and allocates resources through the appointment and dismissal of officials. From this perspective, Heavenly South Domain is more like an enlarged mortal empire."

Qin Tiexin put down Jade Slip and sorted out the information in his mind.

I originally wanted to go to Heavenly South Domain along the way Lin Feng came from, but accidentally broke into Azure Xuan Region and stayed there for three years. Azure Xuan Region is more like a river and lake, Heavenly South Domain's system of dynastic governance, official appointment and dismissal, and Lineage inheritance reminded him of Great Xuan, the mortal world he was familiar with, where there were emperors, officials, and Lineage rules.

It's nothing more than Great Xuan managing mortals, while Heavenly South Domain's dynasty manages monks.

That's it for the information about Jade Slip.

As for where Lineage of Lin Feng is located in the Myriad Stars Dynasty, and where to find Third Realm medical repair, this information is not available in Jade Slip. We can only go to Heavenly South Domain and inquire based on the actual situation.

Qin Tiexin put Jade Slip back into the storage ring, sat cross-legged on the futon, and took advantage of the free time before the transmission to sort out the recent things.

He first probed Divine Sense into the storage ring and found the big cauldron at the deepest point.

After killing True Person Xueying, Chen Xi found the tripod while searching for loot in the ruins of the cave, and stuffed it into the storage ring given to him along with other things.

Qin Tiexin took out the tripod. The light in the stone room was blocked by the tripod, casting a large shadow on the ground.

This cauldron is much larger than the refining furnace he used before. It is as tall as a person and seven feet in diameter. It is firmly supported on the ground by three legs. The body of the cauldron is a dull dark copper color, and its surface is densely engraved with Spirit Rune Array.

The complexity of these Spirit Rune far exceeds any of the refining patterns he has come into contact with before - Heating Spirit Rune, Heat Retention Spirit Rune, Tempering Spirit Rune, Frost Spirit Rune, Harmonization Spirit Rune, etc., these basic Spirit Rune constitute the core skeleton of the tripod body, but there are also some auxiliary lines intertwined between the skeletons that he cannot recognize.

Among them, there is a group of Spirit Rune extending in a spiral shape from the bottom of the cauldron to the mouth of the cauldron. The lines are slender and long, and there is a very small formation eye node every other section. Qin Tiexin once read about a similar structure [Spirit Gathering and Liquid Condensation Formation] in the Flowing Cloud Sect's Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. It is an auxiliary formation that can slowly absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi and condense it into spiritual liquid.

However, the efficiency of this formation in condensing spiritual liquid is extremely low. It is usually used for long-term storage of spiritual liquid in retreat caves and is rarely engraved on the tripod.

He stretched out his hand to hold down the cauldron and injected a trace of spiritual power. The Spirit Rune on the cauldron lit up in sequence. First, the heating array at the bottom emitted a dark red light, and then the cyan light pattern of the thermal insulation array spread across the belly of the cauldron. The tempering array and the Frost array remained in a semi-activated state.

The group of spirals Spirit Gathering Formation also trembled slightly as the spiritual power was injected, and began to rotate slowly, sucking the Spiritual Qi in the training room into the cauldron one by one. The speed is very slow. At this efficiency, continuous operation can condense about three to five drops of spiritual liquid for a day and night.

When he first saw this cauldron in the secret realm of the Iron Spine Sect, there seemed to be some liquid left in the cauldron. But when he got it, the cauldron was already empty. He didn't know whether the liquid was taken away by True Person Xueying or was taken away by others in the melee.

He used his left hand to take out the body of half a cow-shaped Demon Beast from another Storage Bag engraved with Frost Spirit Rune. This was the remaining part of the one he and Duan Xuan hunted in the Iron Spine Sect secret realm. The scene where Duan Xuan was almost thrown away when he wrapped the cow's leg with a whip is still vivid in his mind.

Speaking of Duan Xuan, the young lady Golden Sun Sect who likes to use whips is now living in the Golden Sun Sect Nourishment. I don't know how her recovery is going.

He put the flesh and blood of Demon Beast into the cauldron piece by piece, found several medicinal herbs suitable for tempering Qi and Blood from the storage ring, took out two high-level Refined Blood Pill, crushed them and sprinkled them in.

After everything was ready, he injected spiritual power into Heating Spirit Rune on Ding's body.

The red light pattern at the bottom of the cauldron quickly brightened, and a strong heat rose from the cauldron, wrapping Demon Beast's flesh and blood inside and starting to stew.
