After discussing with Ling Dong for about an hour, Bai Shaokui took the initiative to end the conversation. "Alright, Brother Ling, let's stop here. I've reminded you of what I should. As for the other matters, we'll discuss them after we enter the Connecting Heaven Palace."
Bai Shaokui stood up and pointed at the Star Transfer Pillar dozens of miles away from them. "If you don't mind, Brother Ling, you can rest here for a few days. After the tenth day, we'll enter the Connecting Heaven Palace together. However, I have to say this first. If Brother Ling has enough Star Pearls to enter the Connecting Heaven Palace, then all the Star Pearls collected in these few days will belong to the Kuixing Pavilion! "
"Why must we enter the Connecting Heaven Palace after the tenth day?" Ling Dong asked in confusion.
Bai Shaokui stared at Ling Dong meaningfully and said, "Brother Ling, don't you know that the core of the Connecting Heaven Palace will only open after the tenth day?"
"Er …" Ling Dong was speechless. His cheeks were burning.
The True Dipper Sect had profited greatly by cooperating with the Kuixing Pavilion today. Just the information Ling Dong obtained from Bai Shaokui was worth a few thousand mid-grade crystal stones outside the Kuixing Pavilion.
In other words, if Yin Baiyue knew about this, he would probably hide in a corner and wait for the Connecting Heaven Palace to open before coming to the Star Transfer Pillar. He wouldn't die here so early.
A piece of information was worth several lives. There was no doubt about it!
The True Dipper Sect knew too little about the Connecting Heaven Palace these years. It was so little that Ling Dong blushed.
"Thank you for your reminder, Shaokui. However, we can't stay here for the next few days. I have an important matter to attend to," Ling Dong said.
"Important matter? Brother Ling, what are you doing in the Connecting Heaven Palace? " Bai Shaokui asked in confusion. "Brother Ling, please forgive me for asking too much. It's already the sixth day. Tomorrow will be the seventh day. There are only four days left before the Connecting Heaven Palace opens. At this time, it is very dangerous to run around in the Sky-Reaching Arcane Land, especially for warriors with Star Beads! "
Ling Dong rubbed his nose awkwardly. This matter was really hard to explain. "Thank you for your reminder, Shaokui. However, this matter still has to be done. Oh right, Shaokui, I see that you've already collected enough Star Pearls. Why are you still hunting cultivators to collect Star Pearls? "
In order to prevent Bai Shaokui from asking, Ling Dong took the initiative to change the topic. Of course, Ling Dong had a very strong motive for asking this question. Ling Dong really wanted to know if the Hidden World Star Palace, Leader Star Pavilion, and Palace of Forgotten Worries were working so hard to collect Star Beads. Did it mean that they could absorb the energy in the Star Beads for their own use? Or did they have other important uses?
"I can only tell Brother Ling that the use of this Star Pearl is far from as simple as activating the Star Teleportation Pillar. However, as for the specific use, Brother Ling should ask Senior Butcher after you return!" Bai Shaokui smiled faintly and kept Ling Dong in suspense.
"Thank you! Brother Bai, time is of the essence. We'll be on our way first! "Since Bai Shaokui had refused, Ling Dong did not continue asking. He cupped his hands and prepared to leave.
"Alright. However, Brother Ling, you must remember to activate the Star Teleportation Pillar to enter the Connecting Heaven Palace before noon on the tenth day. Or, on the tenth day, come to the Star Teleportation Pillar in the southwest direction and enter the Connecting Heaven Palace with us. If there are no difficult enemies, I think the cultivators of our Leader Star Pavilion will not leave the southwest direction of the Star Teleportation Pillar! "Bai Shaokui said.
"Goodbye!" Ling Dong said decisively. Then, he led his beautiful master, Qiu Qingyi, Tu Bai, and Princess Xuanji, who were still in shock, towards the northwest direction.
However, after Ling Dong left, the disciple of the Fei Family, Fei Lingke, stared at Ling Dong as he left. He did not hide the hostility in his eyes.
After Ling Dong left, Bai Shaokui quickly flashed to the injured Bai San's side. The other cultivators of the Leader Star Pavilion also surrounded him.
"Bai San, how are your injuries? Are they serious? How did you get injured? "Bai Shaokui asked as he moved closer to check on Bai San's injuries.
"Shaokui, I'm not sure either. I only felt a flash of white light and my chest was pierced. My Protective Qi was like paper in front of that white light. It also carried an irresistible force. However, the power it carried was not very strong. Fortunately, my foundation was solid, and I protected my heart meridians at the first moment. Otherwise, even if that white light didn't pierce a hole in my heart, my heart meridians would have been shattered by that force! "Bai San laughed bitterly.
"A flash of white light? But that girl's cultivation is only at the Second Grade of the Earth Realm? Could it be … could it be that she also has that kind of Precious Weapon? If that's the case, the True Gang Sect will be a great help. It seems like joining forces with them is the right choice! "Bai Shaokui said softly.
Hearing this, the disciple of the Fei Family, Fei Lingke, became anxious. "Shaokui, join forces with them. That guy is the enemy of our Fei Family. How can we join forces with them? Shaokui, it's fine if you don't let us touch his family. How can you do this? "
"Go, then you can rush up and fight with him now. It's not too late!" Bai Shaokui said as he glanced at Fei Lingke.
Fei Lingke, who was full of excuses, immediately deflated when he heard this. The battle between Ling Dong and Bai Shaokui had made Fei Lingke completely lose his temper. He was no match for Ling Dong at all.
"Fei Lingke, I'm warning you seriously. We have no choice but to cooperate with the True Gang Sect regarding the treasure. However, if you dare to use this opportunity to create trouble and ruin my plan, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Bai Shaokui's voice turned cold when he said the last sentence.
Seeing this, Fei Lingke could only agree with a grunt.
.....
After rushing for half a day, Ling Dong and the rest finally found a relatively safe campsite when the moon was high in the sky.
Of course, with their current cultivation base, they could survive for two to three days without rest. However, they had to rest as much as possible to maintain their peak condition.
Perhaps it was just as Bai Shaokui had said. After six days of traveling, there were no longer any martial artists who were alone. Apart from a few pairs of demon beasts, they were very safe.
After hastily eating some dry rations, Ling Dong found a corner and anxiously took out the Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring. He wanted to see if he could find any clues about the secret of becoming an Elixir King so quickly.
There were too few clues left behind by Yin Baiyue. There was only the word 'fire' and nothing else. Ling Dong could only hope that he could find some new clues in Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring.
Yin Baiyue's strength was only at the late stage of the Earth Realm. With Ling Dong's Spirit power, he easily broke the Spirit brand on Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring.
The moment the Spirit brand was broken, Ling Dong's Spirit power quickly probed into Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring.
The first thing that struck Ling Dong was how big Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring was. It was twice as big as the extra-large Yin and Kun Ring that Ling Dong had snatched from Zi Yao back in South Mountain County.
"Damn, this Yin Baiyue is really rich. A Yin and Kun Ring the size of a living room is rare in this world, right?" Ling Dong was still shocked by Yin Baiyue's extra-large Yin and Kun Ring. Once again, he witnessed the wealth of a top Elixir Master.
How many things would it take to fill a living room? Even though Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring had two to three small mountains of things, there was still one-third of the space left.
The first thing that came into view was a large pile of jade boxes. Ling Dong didn't even need to look at them to know that they were all precious herbs that Yin Baiyue had gathered. Ling Dong looked around casually and didn't find any precious herbs. Many of the jade boxes were even empty.
Then, Ling Dong frowned. Something wasn't right.
Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring was too strange. It didn't match his identity as the Head Master of the Alchemist Manor. Although there were many jade boxes, most of them were empty. Moreover, the dozen or so bottles of elixirs were very common. They were all elixirs that were commonly used by Earth Realm martial artists like Purple Jade Meridian Recovery Elixir and First Grade Profound Spirit Elixir.
Not only that, but there was also very little wealth inside. There were only a few dozen mid-grade crystal stones and a few elixir books. What the Yin and Kun Ring contained the most was water. There were a total of forty jars of clear water. Ling Dong had already checked them and found that there was nothing unusual about the water.
Other than that, he couldn't find any useful clues in Yin Baiyue's Yin and Kun Ring. Nothing about the secret of becoming an Elixir Master.
This discovery made Ling Dong feel very discouraged. Did he really have to give up on the secret of becoming an Elixir Master?
After thinking for a while, Ling Dong withdrew his soul power from the Yin and Kun Ring in disappointment. He was prepared to exchange his own Yin and Kun Ring for Yin Baiyue's oversized Yin and Kun Ring. Perhaps, this was what he had gained from Yin Baiyue.
But just as Ling Dong was about to withdraw his soul power, he suddenly noticed a pile of jade talismans in a corner. They were piled up messily in the jade boxes that contained the herbs. They were the jade talismans that he hadn't noticed yet.
Perhaps it was because the jade talismans were of the same color or because there were too many jade boxes, but Ling Dong didn't notice the pile of jade talismans.
Although Ling Dong knew that there couldn't be any clues in the pile of jade talismans, he still took out the pile of jade talismans from the Yin and Kun Ring and studied it.
"Greater Shift Talisman! It's actually a Greater Shift Talisman! " Ling Dong sucked in a breath of cold air when he took out the first jade talisman. He didn't expect that the most precious item would be in this pile of inconspicuous jade talismans.
The first jade talisman was actually a Greater Shift Talisman that was known as a life-saving treasure. Although Ling Dong couldn't make this kind of Greater Shift Talisman, he recognized it!
Ling Dong remembered that Gu Tongtian used this very Greater Shift Talisman to escape from the Bright Sword Sect more than a year ago.
With this Greater Shift Talisman, Ling Dong began to look forward to the remaining twenty or so jade talismans. If these jade talismans were all of the same quality as the Greater Shift Talisman, Ling Dong would really give himself up!
Ling Dong eagerly took out another jade talisman and studied it carefully.
