A Strange Affair, Eight Hundred Years Old

After spending some time at the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion, the Immortal-Seeking Assembly was about to begin.

Li Yunjing, Mo Xuan, and the others left Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.

The venue for this Immortal-Seeking Assembly is located in the center of Xunxian Town.

The place was already packed with people, with eligible teenagers from all over the country looking excited, curious, or full of anticipation.

The process of the Immortal-Seeking Assembly is very simple.

First, the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance will introduce the various sects participating in this Immortal-Seeking Assembly.

Afterwards, the young men and women who came to participate in the Immortal-Seeking Assembly will take turns to have their talents tested.

If one's talent reaches the standard of a certain sect,

For example, the Luozhen Sect.

Then, disciples of the Immortal Alliance will ask this person if they are willing to join the Luozhen Sect.

If the criteria of multiple sects are met

Then it all depends on the person's wishes.

It all depends on how well these young men and women prepare.

See if you are familiar with the current situation of each sect.

Not long after arriving at the venue of the conference,

Li Yunjing then greeted several acquaintances in turn.

Since Li Yunjing has already reached the Golden Core...

Several acquaintances were also reserved in front of Li Yunjing, unlike their previous casual demeanor.

Especially Su Zhen.

Li Yunjing was also helpless.

However, this time, True Person Liu from the Departing Maple Sect has arrived.

He pulled Li Yunjing aside, took out a formation plate, and set up Soundproofing Formation.

"True Person Liu, what are you doing..." Li Yunjing looked puzzled.

True Person Liu said, "Be careful, walls have ears. True Person Li, I didn't expect you to Core Formation in just two months. It truly makes this old man ashamed."

"I've wasted my whole life."

Li Yunjing smiled but remained silent.

True Person Liu offered a compliment before getting down to business.

"True Person Li, I have something to tell you."

There were problems with the mining of that Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.

Yesterday, one of our disciples in the Early Qi Refining died tragically in that mine.

I went to investigate myself, but I couldn't find anything unusual about the mine.

As for the disciple who died, his life Essence Blood had been drained from his body; when I saw him, he was already a dried-up corpse.

Li Yunjing frowned.

The draining of Essence Blood seems to be a method used by a demonic cult.

Generally speaking, only those who follow the path of demonic cultivation like to do this.

Especially the Blood Devil Sect, which once swept across Five Provinces.

He even went so far as to cultivate a Blood Devil True Immortal using immeasurable Essence Blood.

That incident prompted sects across the Five Provinces that had produced True Immortal to urgently seek assistance from the upper realm.

People from the upper realm were sent down, and the situation was finally quelled.

"Could it be the work of some Demon Beast that like to suck Essence Blood?" Li Yunjing asked.

Although it sounds like a demonic method.

But if it really is the demonic path that makes a move,

That will inevitably leave a trace.

With True Person Liu's cultivation level, it's impossible that he couldn't have discovered it.

Unless the other party's cultivation level is significantly higher than True Person Liu's.

Would someone whose cultivation level is truly higher than True Person Liu's take a fancy to a cultivator in the Early Qi Refining?

Even if he were at the same level as True Person Liu, both being at the Early Golden Core.

The Essence Blood of a cultivator in the Early Qi Refining is negligible to Devil Cultivator of this level.

Unless it's a large amount inhaled at once.

True Person Liu shook his head. "I can't find the reason, so I came to discuss with True Person Li to see what to do."

I fear that my sect's disciples will continue to suffer.

"Hmm... In that case, let me set up the Passing Goose Leaves Traces and see what happens," Li Yunjing said.

Passing Goose Leaves Traces; this is a top-tier formation.

The setup is reasonably easy.

Once deployed, it will capture all traces within the area covered by the formation.

A formation master can determine what has happened within the formation's coverage area based on the information provided by the formation.

Although it is only a first-grade formation, it can still detect traces of high-level cultivators.

However, the formation completely failed the moment it detected the attack, so the specific information was impossible to obtain.

However, by observing the paralysis, we can also understand what happened.

"Alright." True Person Liu nodded in agreement.

After finishing his conversation with True Person Liu, the Immortal-Seeking Assembly had already begun.

Li Yunjing noticed a new face on the Luozhen Sect's side.

Upon closer inspection, the man appeared to be quite handsome, thin, and dressed as a scholar.

"The sect leader has arrived! Quickly, greet the sect leader!"

When Mo Xuan saw Li Yunjing approaching, he immediately spoke to the young man.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing, the young man's breathing quickened, and his face flushed red with excitement.

"Disciple... Disciple Lu Rongxing greets Sect Leader."

Li Yunjing nodded and looked at Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan's Divine Sense transmits the sound.

"Senior brother, this person voluntarily wanted to join the Luozhen Sect. His talent is quite good, approaching fourth rank from third rank."

In this Xunxian Town, a talent level of rank three or four is already considered top-tier.

The appearance of a higher-ranking fifth-grade item would cause several sects to scramble for it.

The sixth-grade talent has also appeared in Xunxian Town.

They were simply sent to another place by the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance.

After all, the highest rank among the sects surrounding Xunxian Town is only third grade.

It would be a real waste for someone with a sixth-grade talent to join Third-Rank Sect.

Li Yunjing sat down, intending to see if any highly talented individuals would emerge from this Immortal-Seeking Assembly.

But before he could even settle in, Shen Chun came looking for him.

"Sect Leader, the leader of the Medicine King Gang wants to see you. He says he has something important to tell you," Shen Chun said in a low voice.

Li Yunjing glanced at Shen Chun, then nodded.

He then turned to Mo Xuan and whispered, "Junior brother, I have to leave for now. I'll leave this place to you."

Mo Xuan was already used to Li Yunjing's style, so he didn't say anything and simply nodded in agreement.

Li Yunjing then left with Shen Chun.

Upon arriving at the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion, Shen Chun led Li Yunjing to a soundproof room.

Upon entering the room, Li Yunjing frowned.

The room was filled with a rotten, nauseating stench.

Shen Chun frowned and quickly activated the formation again to clean the air in the room.

"This old man, Bai Luo, pays his respects to True Person Li!"

Ahead, an elderly man with almost all his hair shakily bowed to Li Yunjing.

Lei Yang was supporting the old man beside him.

A middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her forties was also supporting Bai Luo.

Li Yunjing carefully examined Bai Luo.

The smell in the room just now came from Bai Luo.

Bai Luo was wrapped in strips of cloth.

Through his Divine Sense, Li Yunjing learned that Bai Luo's body beneath the cloth strip had begun to rot.

It was also oozing a lot of pus.

"I heard you have important business to discuss with me, True Person." Li Yunjing sat down and spoke slowly.

Bai Luo nodded. "Indeed, it concerns an eight-hundred-year-old spirit medicine and a Medicine Essence."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.

Eight-hundred-year-old spirit medicine are very rare in Xunxian Town.

This is already a grade three spirit medicine.

In another two hundred years, it will become a great medicine for a thousand years, even Nascent Soul Cultivator will be tempted.

The mention of the Medicine Essence sent a shiver down Li Yunjing's spine.

Medicine Essence is a special kind of substance.

It is not that the spirit medicine has become a spirit, but rather that it is an external manifestation that appears after the spirit medicine has accumulated a certain amount of medicinal properties.

For example, when you go deep into the mountains, you can often hear children's laughter and see their figures flash by.

To someone who doesn't know much about it, they might think they're encountering a ghost.

In reality, this is the Medicine Essence.

By following the source of the noise, one can discover the spirit medicine.

Simply pick this spirit medicine herb and consume it directly to refine its Medicine Essence.

There are several possible outcomes when refining Medicine Essence.

It can directly improve one's cultivation level, allowing them to advance to the next level.

Or perhaps improve one's Root Bone, comprehension, etc.

Others can gain a special ability through Medicine Essence.

The most common method is to open the nasal passages, thereby gaining the ability to identify various spirit medicine.

Various spirit medicine can be found and identified simply by smelling their aroma.

For a herb gatherer or Alchemist

This ability is quite good.

Herb gatherers can use this to search for even rarer spirit medicine.

Alchemist, on the other hand, can identify various spirit medicine and then perfectly combine spirit medicine to refine high-grade elixirs.
