Lin Yi checked the effect of his “Minor Mercy” status. The effects related to ghost perception and the rebirth charm had both increased by twenty percent, while there were no changes to the mercy shield and minor blessing.
However, the increased ghost perception could enhance his ability to detect evil spirits.
The earning of virtue points and the gaining of experience related to the title had no correlation. He would only receive a single point of experience for purifying three low-level evil spirits. Also, he would only get a single point for ten purified corpse souls.
Nonetheless, for a single black evil spirit, he would obtain a point.
Formerly, he had followed Li Yuan Qing and purified more than two hundred evil spirits, earning nearly seventy experience points. Purifying corpses in Qing Yun City on a normal day let him earn around ninety points. Unless he had earned the twenty points just now, it would have taken some time to level up.
Lin Yi activated Wind Law and returned home. Compared to the rarely smiling and often somber Li Yuan Qing, Hall Master Zhou seemed much gentler, giving the impression of someone concealing a sword in his body.
Perhaps Zhou Yun Feng’s understanding of swordsmanship far surpassed Li Yuan Qing, otherwise, he wouldn’t be treated with such respect.
As Golden Sword Zen Ren was a Golden Core Monk, he couldn’t possibly have the time to instruct everyone, so the daily training of Li Yuan Qing’s junior disciples must be under the leadership of this senior.
Regrettably, despite achieving perfect foundation building, his foundation was damaged and hence couldn’t attain the Golden Core.
At this moment, Lin Yi’s expression changed as he recalled something. Old Huang had previously mentioned that despite Golden Sword Zen Ren trying many spiritual medicines, he was still unable to mend his foundation. It was probable that Li Yuan Qing and his junior and senior sisters haven’t given up.
Previously, he had been guessing what Li Yuan Qing might ask him to do to repay the favor. Now, he seemed to have a vague idea.
Of course, it was all conjecture, but he needed to be prepared in advance.
Lin Yi activated Wind Law and returned to the Spiritual Field Planting District. Noticing that there were no lights in Old Huang’s house, he shook his head and decided to ask tomorrow.
The next day, he left his house to find Old Huang’s door wide open, but the man was nowhere to be found. Only Little Black was left in the courtyard, scratching at his food bowl. The moment he saw Lin Yi, he began wagging his tail furiously.
Lin Yi laughed helplessly, poured some food for Little Black, and thought that
it would have been nice if Little Black could eat more of Old Huang’s food. In the end, Lin Yi had to feed him himself.
Soon after, he started watering the spiritual field. After a while, Old Huang walked back with an unsteady gait. “Old Huang, where did you go so early in the morning?”
Old Huang beckoned him over. Once Lin Yi was close enough, he said mysteriously, “I heard that some incidents occurred last night. The law enforcement hall captured several members of the Xuan Yin Sect who infiltrated the Cloud Sect’s premises.”
“Not just in Qing Yun City, they even snuck into our Outer Sect. Fortunately, they discovered this before they started any action. Otherwise, we would experience the evil spirit tragedy again.”
A jolt went through Lin Yi’s heart. He didn’t expect ten-plus transmission talismans to find out about dozens of them. The scale of the Xuan Yin Sect’s revenge this time was not small. He felt that there might still be undiscovered infiltrators. He had to be cautious.
He nodded in agreement, “We were indeed very lucky. It appears that our
Conquest Army has hit them hard.”
“Hehe, because Golden Sword Zen Ren was in command after all. He is the strongest in the Cloud Sect.” Old Huang said proudly.
After some casual chitchat with Old Huang, Lin Yi asked casually, “Old Huang, I have been practicing in seclusion for a while and I’m not familiar with some things. Are there any famous secret realms in our Heng Yuan World that will open in the next few years and are filled with countless treasures?”
“You, at Qi Refining Level Four and a Spirit Farmer, are thinking of going to a secret realm. What for? You want to water the plants there?” Unexpectedly, Old Huang’s face turned sour and he berated him.
“No, I’m just curious, just trying to understand some things,” Lin Yi waved his hands, his memory of the secret realm from the original owner was quite vague. As his strength was too weak, he didn’t have much information.
Only after hearing this did Old Huang calm down and, after pondering for a
while, said, “In the next few years, there is indeed a secret realm that will open. It’s the Cave Mansion of a Nascent Soul True Monarch called Zhang Dao Xuan, who was considered the leading genius of Heng Yuan World over a thousand years ago. He ascended to the Nascent Soul stage in a very short time.”
“In the four arts of cultivation, alchemy and formations in his hands have reached a very profound level, especially alchemy which is incredibly remarkable, earning him the title of Dan God.”
“Therefore, not only are there numerous rare medicinal herbs planted in his
Cave Mansion, there are also many precious pills he personally concocted.”
“There’s a rumor that there’s even a God Refining Pill that can help with advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage. Therefore, each time it opens, it’s always a bloody scramble.”
Hearing the word “Dan God,” Lin Yi was more certain, “So, is there a precise time for this secret realm to open, and are there any restrictions on cultivation level to enter it?”
Old Huang shook his head, “No, the intervals between each opening range from ten to twenty years. However, it seems to have been twelve or thirteen years since it last opened, so probably it won’t exceed seven years at maximum. As for restrictions, only Qi Refining cultivators can enter.”
Then, he pointed at Lin Yi as a warning, “You, young man, better not get any ideas. Some opportunities are worth vying for, but the secret realm of a Nascent Soul True Monarch is too dangerous. We’re better off farming diligently.”
“I was just thinking out loud, it’s not like I actually plan on going.” Laughing and waving his hand, Lin Yi began to water the spiritual field while deep in thought.
If it’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch known as the Dan God, there could indeed be pills or herbs inside capable of mending his foundation.
Li Yuan Qing’s choice to help him might not mean that he wanted him to go to the secret realm since his strength was too low and he was a Spirit Farmer. He might have just wanted to help casually, without expecting anything in return.
However, with a maximum of seven years until the secret realm opened, Li Yuan Qing’s plans could change as Lin Yi gained strength.
If he arbitrarily kept his cultivation level from rising and stuck to his outward fourth level, he could avoid encountering this potential situation. Once the secret realm opened, there would be nothing for him to be concerned about.lt seemed to Lin Yi that these were unnecessary worries.
Upon this thought, Lin Yi laughed and found it amusing. He had to repay the favor that he owed someone for saving his life. Evading it wasn’t a solution.
It was simply a guess; deliberately keeping his cultivation from advancing was not a matter of caution; it was that of a cowardly person.
Therefore, he chose to keep advancing. Even if he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage it seemed possible to avoid entering the secret realm, although it would also mean revealing his true strength.
At this point, Lin Yi had a daring idea; he wondered if his “Minor Realm Concealment” could deceive the entry restrictions of the secret realm.
If he could deceive it, then entering the realm as a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator while others were in the Qi Refining Realm would be much easier..
