Chapter 168
"But this secret treasure..."
"Teacher Li, I'm not alone!" Li Yang lifted Lianlian off her shoulder and showed her to them. "I still have Lianlian. As long as he holds the secret treasure, unless someone at the Divine Venerable Realm personally arrives, no one will be able to detect it."
"Can..."
Li Yang added, "Moreover, there is the Flower of Evil."
Li Yaowan was startled, but with the Marquis of Wind Pavilion present, he only said, "You promised me..."
"I promise you," Li Yang said. "But that's his Realm Domain. I should be able to contact him easily. Even if a Divine Venerable Realm comes, I can use him to protect Lianlian and the secret treasure."
Marquis of Wind Pavilion was stunned and asked incredulously, "The Flower of Evil will help you?"
Li Yaowan: "..."
Li Yang didn't explain in too much detail, only saying, "When I broke through to the next realm through battle, I had contact with the Flower of Evil. The Flower of Evil wanted to devour me... well, and Lianxin, but right now it thinks my realm is too low and wants me to advance further, so I can use this mentality to my advantage."
Marquis of Wind Pavilion: "..."
She understood every word Li Yang said, but when they were all put together, her head was spinning.
Li Yang then said to Li Yaowan, "Teacher Li, I have to go. I have to save them."
Li Yaowan opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't say anything. He only said, "Take the Life-Extending Pill with you... take all my Life-Extending Pill."
Li Yang said gently, "One is enough; any more won't help."
Li Yaowan's eyes were red-rimmed as he grabbed her arm and said, "You're the most important person, you know?"
Li Yang threw herself into her arms, hugging her tightly and saying, "I know."
As Marquis of Wind Pavilion watched this scene, the wind chime flower on his wrist swayed gently, releasing a faint fragrance.
She was praying for Li Yang.
Now that things had come to this, Li Yaowan knew very well that she couldn't stop them, and she really couldn't go along, as that would only hold Li Yang back.
Li Yaowan always knew that she was neither a good mother nor a good teacher.
She used extremely wrong methods to raise Li Qingchen, which ultimately led to a rift between mother and son.
From then on, Li Yaowan not only stopped raising children, but she also became distant and indifferent towards her students.
There's no need to take it too seriously; everyone has their own destiny.
She no longer wanted to control anyone's fate, and therefore no longer wanted to "love" anyone.
Until she met Li Yang, until Li Yang repaired her natal alchemy furnace...
In Li Yaowan's empty heart, there was someone again.
Concern leads to confusion, and love breeds timidity.
She wished she could lock Li Yang in that Master -level small Realm Domain, allowing her to advance her cultivation level peacefully without having to worry about anything outside.
But Li Yang is entangled in too many causes and effects, which she cannot avoid simply by wanting to.
Including this Thousand-Person Feast.
Now that Li Yang knows, he can't just sit idly by.
Leaving aside the major hidden dangers concerning the fate of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, her personal cultivation alone would be hampered by the inner demons arising from abandoning the rescue efforts.
Li Yang must go, and she can only go alone.
No matter how rationally Li Yaowan tried to understand, she was still extremely flustered inside.
She wished she could give Li Yang all the means to save her life, but Li Yang couldn't accept them. She said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Teacher Li, I am the Bone Peach Mother Tree, I shouldn't have so many treasures."
Li Yaowan: "..."
"I must keep this secret treasure given to me by the Marquis of Wind Pavilion. As for the rest... please keep them. Lianlian can't carry so many things."
A Noisy Pot.
A Spirit-Dwelling Box.
The little plush toy is already too heavy for me to carry.
Li Yaowan was holding a pile of things, looking rather at a loss.
Li Yang felt very sorry for him and said softly, "Alright, Teacher Li, I know your intentions, but I really can't take it. It would only make things worse."
Li Yaowan was discouraged and could only advise, "Be extremely careful. If things get really bad, just teleport back. As for the identity of this Bone Peach Mother Tree... well, let it be."
Seeing her like this, Li Yang felt an indescribable warmth in her heart.
After she came into this world, Si Kui gave her a home, and Li Yaowan made her feel a mother's love.
She didn't care about anything else, only about her safety.
Li Yang hugged her again, her voice soft. "You won't lose anything, you won't lose anything!"
In the days that followed, Li Yang began to seize the time to improve his cultivation level.
Li Yang didn't tell anyone about attending the Thousand-Person Feast.
Today, the planting of Sand Fruit Tree has reached a considerable scale, enough to supply the firewood supply in Li Yang.
After a brief period of meditation, she advanced to the Sixth Grade Realm.
After advancing to the Sixth Grade, Li Yang felt that his five senses were clear and his Spirit Sea was becoming more and more vast, and his Little Pear Blossom had swelled to more than three times its original size.
However, Li Yang could still control its size when she released it.
But now, in the Spirit Sea, it hangs steadily in the sky like the Sun.
It's still a far cry from the overwhelming scale it had at the Eighth Grade Realm.
This also proves the gap between the Sixth Grade and the Master Realm.
To help Li Yang improve her cultivation level as quickly as possible, Marquis of Wind Pavilion personally helped her search for suitable missions that allowed her to break through her cultivation level through battle.
She even sent her trusted confidants to do the preliminary work for Li Yang, just waiting for her to teleport over so they could fight and break through the barrier!
Those of the Nature Department are all diligently cultivating in seclusion within their Master- level minor Realm Domain.
Jiang Yuqing were also unusually serious.
He assumed that Li Yang was still in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain —in fact, Li Yang was indeed going there again—so he was quite at ease, thinking that after he came out this time, he could earn a lot of Shock Points just by listening to Li Yang's stories!
It's impossible for Li Yang to bring Jiang Yuqing to the Thousand-Person Feast.
Even with a lot of Shock Points, you still need to be alive to get it back.
Even if Jiang Yuqing disguised themselves as followers of the Bone Peach Mother Tree, they would be easily seen through.
In Gao Jingjie's eyes, Jiang Yuqing's pretense was like a thin sheet of paper, easily pierced.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
The invitation to the Thousand-Person Feast features a progress bar that moves slowly forward.
Time flows at different rates in different Realm Domain of the Astral Realm, and the Upper Three Realms have published a stellar calendar.
What the Huaxia find extremely strange is that this star calendar actually coincides almost exactly with the Huaxia time system.
However, this star calendar has not been widely promoted, and many Realm Domain do not recognize it.
Therefore, the invitation to this Thousand-Person Feast uses a progress bar to indicate the opening hours.
At that time, diners can use this invitation to be directly teleported to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain.
Li Yang harvested the Sand Fruit Tree day and night, but because he had advanced to the Sixth Grade Realm, the lifespan granted by the Fifth Grade Sand Fruit Tree had also been reduced.
If the Sand Fruit Tree hadn't been able to be harvested multiple times, Li Yang's cultivation progress would have been even slower.
However, that statement is too provocative.
Anyone at the Sixth Grade Realm would kneel down in awe upon seeing Li Yang's cultivation speed.
For example, Li Qingchen is still adapting to the Sixth Grade Realm First Stage Star Soul state.
Forget about promotion, he probably hasn't even gained any experience with his Sixth Grade Star Soul.
Looking at Li Yang again, he had already reached the Sixth Grade Realm Sixth Stage.
Li Yang desperately wanted to reach the Sixth Grade Realm Peak, but there wasn't enough time.
Unexpectedly, the newly cultivated Sand Fruit Tree are also going to be phased out.
Fortunately, the Sand Fruit Tree is producing Star Core steadily, and it has already activated the Earth Escape Technique. Li Yaowan is arranging for people to test the effects of this Star Skill.
Even if Li Yang can no longer gain lifespan from the Sand Fruit Tree, the value of this crop is still astonishing.
Li Yang suddenly thought, "The diners in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain are all Star Plant..."
Moreover, the lowest level a diner can reach is the Sixth Grade Realm.
Therefore, those 1000 diners were all at least Sixth Grade Realm Star Plant.
Chapter 168
These 1,000 diners could not only extend Li Yang's lifespan, but might also be seeds that can be cultivated.
But Li Yang dared not think about these things at the moment; her main purpose in going to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain was to save people.
There will be plenty of opportunities to grow Sixth Grade Star Plant and seeds in the future, so this one won't make a difference!
We've made all the necessary preparations.
As she was about to head to the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, Li Yang felt uneasy.
She had already given the Heavenly Mandate Pill that Kong Shisan had given him to Li Yaowan.
Li Yaowan's intensive research eventually led to the development of a medicinal formula capable of suppressing pollution.
At the same time, Li Yaowan also conducted a detailed analysis and study of this Heavenly Mandate Pill.
Because it is difficult to completely replicate it, and there is only one such piece, the results of the analysis are limited.
But Li Yaowan was 70% certain. "This Heavenly Mandate Pill can only temporarily suppress the pollution."
Li Yang was not surprised by this result.
There are two paths to cultivation for Star Wielders: one is the solitary cultivation advocated by the Huaxia Heavenly Palace; the other is the reliance on devouring, as seen in the Lost Space Society.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
The method of spiritual cultivation requires a lot of time and resources, and depends on personal talent and effort; the benefits are also obvious, namely, it is more stable and solid, with virtually no risk of going crazy or losing control.
Cultivating by devouring not only consumes less time but also requires fewer resources—as long as one consumes a suitable Star Wielders, one can even instantly advance two or three minor realms. However, the downside is also fatal: one's Spirit Sea will inevitably be polluted, and the higher the realm, the greater the risk of losing control.
The so-called loss of control means Spirit Sea, a complete loss of one's own consciousness, and becoming like those Masterless Swords in the Sword Tomb Death Domain.
Lost Space Society promised his followers, "As long as you accept the guidance of the Sage (Wise One), you can purify the pollution caused by devouring, and then you won't have to worry about losing control as your cultivation level increases."
However, the Heavenly Mandate Pill that Kong Shisan gave to the Bone Peach Mother Tree could not purify the pollution; it could only suppress it.
Li Yao sneered, "Even if the Lost Space Society had truly effective elixirs for purifying pollution, they wouldn't give them to their Disciple."
