Chapter 338: The Goal of Not Leaving the Cyan Yuan Sect for 100 Years, Don’t Mind Giving It a Try
「Yuanqing Courtyard.」
Yang Chan found the news from Han Bingyu strange, especially after learning more about the Secret Realm from Princess Lan Yue.
The Secret Realm that had appeared near the Qingyuan River was likely no ordinary one; otherwise, it wouldn’t be causing such a stir.
Before the Silver State Thousand Feather Secret Realm emerged, there had been signs, but they weren’t very conspicuous. Consequently, many factions failed to notice its appearance. Only those closer to the area discovered the changes.
By the time the Thousand Feather Secret Realm fully emerged, Sects like the Night Listening Sea Tower and the Cyan Yuan Sect had already entered to plunder its resources. When the other Sects finally reacted, it was pretty much over.
A few nearby factions managed to get a piece of the pie and came away with some gains, but most were left eating dust. They watched the Secret Realm vanish, only to turn their attention to the Night Listening Sea Tower. They aimed to tear a chunk out of the Sect, hoping to seize the resources it had collected—and perhaps even the resources it already possessed.
The more malicious factions even wanted to use this opportunity to annihilate the Night Listening Sea Tower. However, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Night Listening Sea Tower’s Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster was severely injured, he wasn’t dead. The Combat Power he could unleash was still terrifying.
Even another Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster would be extremely wary of facing one who was fighting for their life, to say nothing of the fact that no other Sect’s Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters had yet entered Silver State.
Of course, this didn’t mean they had given up; they were likely just waiting for the right moment.
This speculation was based on information Yang Chan had received, though it wasn’t entirely accurate. While Yang Chan kept an eye on the situation, he was paying far more attention to the Qingyuan River.
’I actually hope a new Secret Realm appears,’ he mused. ’As long as I don’t go in, I won’t face any danger, and I can still get my hands on the Cultivation Resources from it.’
’Those Superior and Top Level Spirit Medicines are exactly what I want to obtain. If a new Secret Realm appears, the disciples who enter are bound to bring back the things I need.’
’Then I can continue refining elixirs, accumulate more Spirit Medicines, and my resources will slowly pile up.’
’If I can keep this up for a hundred years, that would be enough time for me to never have to leave the Cyan Yuan Sect. When I finally emerge, I’ll be truly invincible.’
"The appearance of a Secret Realm near the Qingyuan River is actually a good thing. If you go inside, you might even be able to get your hands on some Top Level Spirit Medicine."
"It’s just like your Sect Leader and the others. They found a Bone Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit in the Thousand Feather Secret Realm, refined it into a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, and broke through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm in one fell swoop."
"If you could obtain such a fortunate opportunity, you would have a great chance of reaching the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm in the future."
"The Talent you’ve shown is incredible, but so many people get stuck at this step. If you had a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, your chances of breaking through to Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster would be far greater than anyone else’s."
Princess Lan Yue watched Yang Chan, her words laced with temptation, for she also wanted a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Even though she hadn’t yet broken through to the Inner Refining Grandmaster Realm, she was already planning for her breakthrough to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm. After all, she knew perfectly well how difficult it was to achieve.
The Imperial Family had countless geniuses and abundant Cultivation Resources, yet very few were able to break through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm.
The Old Emperor placed restrictions on the Princes and others who practiced the Emperor’s Shocking Book, but members of the Imperial Family who cultivated other Cultivation Techniques faced fewer limitations. Even so, not many Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters had emerged from the Imperial Family.
As far as she knew, the number of Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters in the Imperial Family could be counted on one hand, which showed just how difficult it was. Even if there were some hidden experts, the total definitely wouldn’t exceed ten.
However, Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters had much longer lifespans, so the number that had accumulated over the generations was still significant.
Among the people Princess Lan Yue knew, the strongest was the Old Emperor, Yang Yu. He had already reached the Peak of Bone Marrow Cleansing, having completed three Bone Marrow Cleansing transformations, and his power was immense.
As for the legendary Martial Saint Ancestor, she had never met him and knew nothing about his specific situation, so she didn’t include him in her calculations.
"So, you have the Pill Formula for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, and you know how to refine it?"
Yang Chan stared directly at Princess Lan Yue.
He turned her own temptation back on her with a question.
’Princess Lan Yue wants to lure me into the Secret Realm to fight for opportunities,’ he thought, ’but the Bone Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit isn’t actually necessary for me.’
’The Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm holds no bottleneck for me. As long as I accumulate enough Potential Points and spend them, I can break through whenever I wish. I don’t need the help of a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.’
’Besides, refining the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill requires a considerable amount of Bone Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit. Getting three or four pills from a single fruit would be an excellent outcome, so mass production is impossible for me.’
’In comparison, I much prefer an elixir like the Three Revolutions Nourishing Viscera Pill. I can refine several dozen pills in a single batch, enough to last me more than a month.’
’But the main ingredient for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Spirit Fruit, is incredibly hard to find. The chances of finding one are slimmer than catching an Instant Flower just as it blooms. Even if I did find one, it would only be after countless life-and-death battles. And in the end, it would most likely be sent to Advanced Pharmacist Elder Hua, not me.’
’Based on the level of Cultivation I’ve revealed so far, it would never be my turn to receive the final refined elixir.’
All these factors combined were enough to make Yang Chan completely dismiss the idea of entering the Secret Realm, especially now when everything felt so bizarre and extremely dangerous.
Yang Chan naturally wanted to steer clear of such dangers.
He could wish the disciples entering the Secret Realm well, but he would never go in himself. Besides, given the abilities he had shown so far, it was highly unlikely he would be asked to enter in the first place.
"I do have the Pill Formula for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill," Princess Lan Yue said, "but I haven’t tried refining it yet. If you can gather all the ingredients, I wouldn’t mind giving it a try."
Having let it slip, Princess Lan Yue decided she might as well continue along the line of Yang Chan’s questioning.
She had been practicing alchemy continuously and would read books on the subject in her spare time, some of which Yang Chan had brought back from the Medicine Hall Collection Pavilion.
As an Intermediate Pharmacist, Yang Chan could naturally borrow more books on alchemy and had even obtained many Pill Formulas. However, regardless of whether they were duplicates of what he already had, their medicinal effects were all quite poor.
He had tried refining them, but they didn’t grant him any Potential Points. Nevertheless, Yang Chan still took the time to read the related alchemy books, and Princess Lan Yue would borrow them from him to continue improving her own Pharmacist Ability.
Even with a complete alchemical heritage, improving one’s Pharmacist Ability still required reading more books and accumulating more practical experience in alchemy to continue advancing.
