Dungeon
Oh, so there's no such thing as being expelled from the Blood Yin Sect...
Gathering spiritual herbs in the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm would certainly be rewarded by the sect, but the world of cultivation is rife with deceit and treachery.
Murder and robbery were commonplace for them, especially since their Blood Yin Sect was a demonic sect, albeit a minor one.
Once they went to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm, the righteous sects would inevitably use the pretext of "acting on behalf of Heaven" to exterminate the disciples of their Blood Yin Sect.
Tang Tianshu is currently only focused on cultivating immortality discreetly, striving to reach the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible and return to Dangwu Village on the Purple Mother Continent.
Just as Tang Tianshu was trying hard to suppress his laughter, a young disciple cupped his hands and said, "Right Protector Venerable, I think Tang Tianshu should also go to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm to make contributions for the sect."
"Senior Brother Wang Shan, you overestimate me!" Tang Tianshu shouted. "Unlike you, you have High-Grade Spirit Root and your cultivation is already at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer."
I have Mediocre Spirit Root, a born waste. It is only thanks to the sect's kindness and extra care that I was able to become a cultivator.
But my cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, and I would become a burden to you. It's not that I'm afraid of dying, but I'm truly afraid of delaying the sect's important affairs."
"Hmph, don't try to sound so high and mighty. You're clearly just a coward." Wang Shan sneered, "Right Protector Venerable, it's not that I, Wang Shan, have any personal grudges with Tang Tianshu."
The reason is that Tang Tianshu, who has never contributed anything to the Blood Yin Sect, is causing dissatisfaction among the disciples if he doesn't go to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm.
"What merit or ability does Tang Tianshu possess to receive so many miraculous pills and elixirs to enhance his cultivation, and even a Beauty-Preserving Pill?"
"Because I am the furnace for the Left Protector Venerable, of course I need to improve my cultivation level quickly!"
"Receiving the Beauty-Preserving Pill is also a favor from the Left Protector." At this point, Tang Tianshu also put aside his pride.
That's right, although Tang Tianshu has Mediocre Spirit Root and is a cultivation failure, he is born with the Heavenly Yang Physique.
Top-tier furnace-cauldron physique.
That's why the Blood Yin Sect reluctantly kept him and allowed him to become a cultivator.
Although Tang Tianshu possesses a top-tier furnace physique, his cultivation progress is extremely slow due to his Mediocre Spirit Root. To become a furnace physique and engage in dual cultivation, one needs to reach the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
Five years ago, it was the Left Protector who brought Tang Tianshu to the Blood Yin Sect. In addition, Tang Tianshu was handsome and dashing.
She always used sweet words to make the Left Protector happy, so she took extra care of Tang Tianshu.
Tang Tianshu received four or five times more pills than the other disciples, which gradually caused dissatisfaction among the other young disciples.
"Hmph, you're not the only backup for the Left Protector. You only get special treatment because you use sweet words to deceive him, and he always excludes you from dangerous sect missions," Wang Shan said disdainfully. He then turned to the Right Protector with a sincere expression. "Right Protector, it's truly unfair to us disciples that someone like Tang Tianshu, a coward who's greedy for life and lazy, receives the most Cultivation Resources!"
The Right Protector frowned. He was at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage stage and had originally intended to engage in a mutually beneficial Heaven and Earth Dual Cultivation with the Left Protector.
However, the Left Protector disagreed, as he had long harbored some resentment towards the Left Protector.
Now that the Left Protector has reached the Foundation Establishment Peak and is striving to reach the Purple Mansion stage, Yanran is the next leader of the Blood Yin Sect, which makes him somewhat jealous of her.
In addition, her trusted disciples harbored resentment and complaints about the extra care the Left Protector gave to her potential suitors.
With both old and new grudges, the Right Protector's lips twitched slightly as he coldly said, "Disciple Tang Tianshu, listen to my command: the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm not only contains spiritual herbs, but also many Demon Beast."
Going to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm to kill Demon Beast will definitely benefit your cultivation level greatly.
Although the world is vast, after thousands of years of cultivation by immortals,
The spiritual herbs used to refine elixirs have been exhausted, especially those that are over a hundred years old, which are extremely rare.
The best spiritual herbs and the main ingredients needed for Foundation Establishment Pill are currently found in some secret realms.
However, the secret realm had long been divided up by various sects, and other sects could not get their hands on it.
This Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm opens once every sixty years and is located in the Northern Wilds. The qualification to enter the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm was obtained by my Blood Yin Sect's patriarch through fierce battles against numerous heroes.
However, the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm has a realm suppression effect and an age limit for cultivators. The consensus reached by the various sects is that only disciples aged between 18 and 35, with a cultivation level below the Qi Refinement Tenth Layer Refining, can go there.
You've only been in the sect for five years, and you have Mediocre Spirit Root, yet you've been able to advance from the Meridian Opening First Layer Refining to the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer. This is all thanks to the sect's favor.
"An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one." I have decided that you will accompany me to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm this time.
Also, the Left Protector is in seclusion and there's nothing urgent, so don't disturb her."
After speaking, the Right Protector Hand Seals with his left hand, a slight movement of Spiritual Qi, and his figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.
"Alright, alright. Everyone, disperse and get ready. We'll depart in three days."
"Heading to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm!" Wang Shan shouted, glancing coldly at Tang Tianshu. "Junior Brother Tang, don't resent your senior brother. This is an opportunity I secured for you to contribute to the Blood Yin Sect."
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Wang Shan."
"At the same time, I also thank you and your whole family..." Tang Tianshu forced a smile and said, cupping his hands in thanks...
With his Qi Refinement Fifth Layer of Qi Refining, and being a disciple of a minor demonic sect, going to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm would be certain death.
The difference in cultivation level is only one level, a complete crushing defeat. Everyone else is at the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement Refining, while I'm only at the Qi Refinement Fifth Layer. Going there would just be cannon fodder. But the Left Protector is currently in seclusion, and the Right Protector specifically warned me not to disturb him. It seems that pleading with the Left Protector is a dead end.
We must find a way to obtain it without going to the Spirit Sunflower Secret Realm...
As evening fell, Tang Tianshu, carrying a lunchbox and frowning, walked toward the gloomy dungeon.
"Oh,
"The Left Protector's furnace cauldron— the Blood Yin Sect's number one handsome man—is here to bring food to the witch again." The fat guard looked at Tang Tianshu and sneered.
"We have no choice but to obey the Left Protector's decree," Tang Tianshu said with a smile.
It was this fat cultivator who warned me not to come to the Blood Yin Sect, but I stubbornly insisted on coming anyway.
"Junior Brother Tang, I heard you say that you can refine pills, and that you are the young disciple who has obtained the most pills."
So, do you have the top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill you promised us brothers six months ago?
My brother and I spend all our time in this damned dungeon, we don't have much time to cultivate.
"I've been stuck at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer for nine years." The thin guard glared at the fat guard, a smile on his face.
"Senior brothers, don't be in a hurry."
"After I finish delivering the food to the prisoners, I'll go back and open the Pill Furnace to see if the top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill is ready..." Tang Tianshu raised his head.
"Hey, Junior Brother Tang, I still have to remind you, don't get too close to that witch."
Although you've been bringing this witch food every five days for five years, and she may have become less hostile towards you, she is still Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Although her collarbones were locked, preventing her from using mystical arts, her martial Cultivation Method were still quite good.
"You, at Qi Refinement Fifth Layer, might not be a match for her," the thin guard cautioned.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. No matter how skilled she is in martial arts, she's doomed against two senior brothers at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer." Tang Tianshu waved his hand and walked down into the dimly lit tunnel...
