Inside the brightly lit stone room, Ling Xian sat in a lotus position on top of the stone bed and was cultivating.
Just now, he had sent the Flower of the Awakening Soul, the Grass of the Resting Soul, and the Lotus of the Three Released Souls into the Painting of the Nine Immortals. Then, he found out from the Immortal of Alchemy an exact time.
If there are no accidents, then after half a year, the fourth and fifth immortals will awaken together. After all, the three spiritual medicines are very effective on the soul. They will be able to speed up the awakening of the fourth and fifth immortals.
This made Ling Xian very happy and he had high expectations.
Then, he returned to the stone room that Hong Yan Xin arranged for him and began his daily cultivation routine.
Strands of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured out of the air and flowed through his nose and mouth into his organs and meridians. With his current level of cultivation, this little bit of spiritual energy would not allow his magic power to advance in the slightest.
However, cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Therefore, he continued to cultivate every day. Even if the effect was negligible, he would not relax in the slightest.
Just like that, Ling Xian remained unmoving. His expression was stern as he absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
After about half an hour, he slowly opened his eyes. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.
"The effects are minimal. It is true that the higher one cultivates, the harder it gets."
Ling Xian breathed out a mouthful of murky air. He did not feel depressed. This wasn't something that happened to him alone. The entire Taoism community was experiencing the same thing.
The path of cultivation has always been this difficult. Especially after reaching the completion level, if one were to rely on daily cultivation to increase their cultivation level, then it would take at least 10 years of hard work.
It wasn't easy for him to cultivate at such a speed.
"It seems like if I want to break through, I will have to find some fortune." Ling Xian softly sighed and no longer thought about this problem. Instead, he recalled everything that has happened and decided to organize himself.
Ever since he exited the Imperishable Temple, he had been extremely busy and had no time to organize himself. This made him feel like he was in a mess and there were many unfinished things that were bothering him.
Therefore, he decided to use this rare rest time to organize himself.
First, the three pages of the Divine Book of Genesis he acquired from the Imperishable Temple. This thing was a world-shocking treasure. Not to mention the heaven-defying power that would come with collecting all of it, just the page itself was enough to make many mighty figures go crazy.
But after acquiring it, Ling Xian was too busy to study it.
"The pages of the Book of Genesis, there's no rush. As the saying goes, don't bite off more than you can chew, and my current cultivation is still insufficient. If I comprehend multiple Grand Daos, it will surely cause my foundation to be unstable, and it might even cause the situation of qi deviation to occur. "
After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself, "Therefore, right now is not the right time for me to study the Divine Book of Genesis. It won't be too late to study it in the future."
As he thought about it, he put aside the Divine Book of Genesis and thought about the secret the City of Sin was hiding.
"Countless years ago, that city was called Guardian. It was said that the enemies were the Outsiders and the Extraterrestrial Demons. Is that true?"
Ling Xian frowned and tried to recall all the information he had about the Guardian City. However, he could not find any clues. He mumbled, "The Guardian City, just what secrets are you hiding? Why did you react strangely when I bowed to you? "
Then, he shook his head and pushed down his questions. After all, he couldn't think of anything, so why bother?
Plus, he had handed over the secret of the City of Sin to Chu Zhong Tian. He believed that one day, the truth will be revealed.
"Let's not think about the City of Sin for now. Let nature take its course." Ling Xian shook his head and his entire body relaxed.
The Divine Book of Genesis and the secrets of the City of Sin had been put aside for now. What was left were treasures that he could not use right now. There was nothing else worth remembering.
But very quickly, Ling Xian remembered the most pressing matter – the gathering of the alchemists.
Though he could put the past behind him, he had to face what was happening now.
"Inside the Hidden Territory, I once participated in the gathering of the alchemists. That time, I think I passed the second round and failed in the third round." Ling Xian remembered what happened inside the Hidden Territory and couldn't help but exclaim.
"I cannot believe I will be participating in the gathering of the alchemists again."
Everyone knew that the City of Dan represented the highest level of alchemy in Yuezhou. The five clans represented the City of Dan. Therefore, the Gathering of the Alchemists held by them was absolutely authoritative.
The gathering of the alchemists was only for the younger generation under the age of 40. It was held once every 10 years and every single time, many geniuses would participate. Among them, there were Heaven's Favorites who were nurtured by different forces. There were also nomadic cultivators who had no background to speak of. However, everyone was here for the same goal.
That goal was to shine in the alchemy competition and win the championship!
Remember that this was a gathering organized by the five clans. It could be considered the highest level of competition for the younger generation in Yuezhou. How great of an honor would it be to be able to come out on top in such a competition?
It could be said to be a great honor!
Plus, the rewards for the gathering of the alchemists were very generous and could move any alchemist's heart.
Therefore, every time the gathering was held, young alchemists from all over Yuezhou would always come to the City of Dan. Even though they knew it was impossible for them to win the championship, it was good to be able to join in the fun.
The gathering of the alchemists this time would be held in two months.
In other words, Ling Xian had two months to prepare.
"The gathering will be held at the Realm of Alchemy. That place is a rich and fertile land. Normally, unless one is a core descendant of the five clans, they cannot enter. However, during the duration of the Grand Assembly, it is open to the Alchemists who are participating in the competition, which gives me the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. "
Ling Xian softly grinned, "The first round tests one's knowledge of spiritual medicine. I can find the Flower of Three Lives on Opposite Shores among millions of spiritual medicines. However, how to bring it out is a problem."
He had once participated in the gathering of alchemists and naturally knew that the five clans were watching over him. To steal a spiritual medicine from them was, without a doubt, a very difficult task.
However, he wasn't worried. When the time comes, there will be a way out. When the time comes, there will be a way out.
"The second thing isn't hard either. When the alchemists begin the second round of tests, I can sneak into the Forest of a Thousand Poison and find that item."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he made up his mind.
Then, he couldn't help but wonder if he should use this opportunity to make up for his regret from the Hidden Territory.
Back then, he merely passed the first two rounds of tests before his journey to the gathering ended. What could he do? In the Hidden Territory, he forgot everything about the Immortal of Alchemy. Naturally, he didn't have the inheritance, the Essence of Herbalism, or the Godly Flame.
But now, things were different.
His alchemy skills had reached the sixth realm. He also had the inheritance of alchemy and the two treasures of alchemy. Naturally, he had the ability to win.
Therefore, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he made up his mind.
He was going to use this opportunity to make up for his regret from the Hidden Territory!
