Major sects have profound foundations and their own traditions, but they don't necessarily have secret realms. The Crimson Pill Sect is one of the very few sects that has its own secret realm.
"Our Crimson Pill Sect's secret realm opens once every fifty years. Not to mention you, none of the three of us have ever been there," Lin Jingyuan said proudly. "Every time our Crimson Pill Sect's secret realm opens, countless cultivators vie for a spot to enter. However, our Crimson Pill Sect has a limited number of spots each time, and not everyone has the opportunity to enter. We allocate a portion of the spots to the major sects, and some to smaller sects as well. As for those given to independent cultivators, those are very few."
The implication is that it will be extremely difficult for Li Ze to obtain a spot to enter the secret realm.
“However, Fellow Daoist He is our savior. If you want to go in, just come with us. There’s no need to compete with others for a spot. Besides, if you have any friends, you can bring them along,” Lin Jingyuan said generously.
"Will there be many people in this secret realm?" Li Ze asked.
“Of course. Disciples from various sects will come,” Lin Jingyuan said confidently.
“Even a genius like Senior Brother Mo from Fengyang Sect will appear,” Liang Chen added.
Li Ze didn't know who Senior Brother Mo was, but since elite disciples from various sects would be coming, if He Xingjue was also alive, then he must also be an elite disciple or something similar.
Will he go?
“Okay, I’ll go take a look,” Li Ze said.
Hearing Li Ze agree, Lin Jingyuan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. They were relieved that Li Ze had finally agreed. They never imagined that they, the disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect, would have to curry favor with others, and so cautiously at that.
"Judging from what Fellow Daoist He just said, are you planning to sell the corpse of a fourth-tier demon beast?" Gu Junyu asked.
"We plan to sell it," Li Ze admitted.
“Why not sell them to us? Our Crimson Pill Sect also buys the corpses of demonic beasts. The three of us usually need various parts of demonic beasts as materials when we refine pills,” Gu Junyu said.
Li Ze thought for a moment, "That works too."
Selling it to them actually saved a lot of trouble.
When Li Ze released the two fourth-tier demonic beasts and one second-tier demonic beast from his storage bag, Lin Jingyuan, Gu Junyu, and Liang Chen were shocked.
"There's another fourth-tier demonic beast!" Lin Jingyuan exclaimed.
"Look at this fourth-tier demon beast, it only has one wound on its skin, and it was a one-hit kill. Fellow Daoist He, you are truly a hidden master!" Liang Chen sighed.
"Are you really at the Qi Refining stage?" Gu Junyu asked the same question as Lin Jingyuan.
"Sixth level of Qi Refining," Li Ze said. "I succeeded by using my divine sense to launch a sneak attack, not entirely due to my own strength."
Gu Junyu disagreed with Li Ze's words, "Being able to successfully launch a sneak attack also demonstrates strength."
“That’s right, someone like me can’t ambush a fourth-tier demon beast,” Lin Jingyuan said seriously.
In the end, Gu Junyu and Liang Chen each bought a fourth-tier demon beast, while Lin Jingyuan bought the pelt and inner core of a second-tier red-eyed fox rabbit.
The spiritual herbs that Li Ze picked were divided equally among the three of them.
After selling all the demonic beasts and spirit herbs, Li Ze earned five thousand high-grade spirit stones, two hundred mid-grade spirit stones, and six hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Li Ze knew that Gu Junyu and the other two had saved his life, so the purchase price was too high. If it were a regular pharmacy, it certainly wouldn't have sold for such a high price.
"Does Fellow Daoist He have any other matters to attend to in the Endless Mountains?" Gu Junyu asked.
"No." He had earned the spirit stones; it was time for him to leave.
"Since there isn't one, Fellow Daoist He, why don't you come back to the Crimson Pill Sect with us now?" Gu Junyu invited again.
Li Ze didn't know where the Crimson Pill Sect was, so he decided that it would be better for them to lead the way rather than him to set off on his own. Therefore, he did not refuse.
Next, the three of them took out their flying swords in front of Li Ze.
"Fellow Daoist He, I'll show you around," Gu Junyu invited.
"Fifth Senior Brother, your injuries haven't healed yet, so let me take Fellow Daoist He along," Lin Jingyuan said.
“My injuries have almost healed, so carrying Fellow Daoist He through the air is no problem,” Gu Junyu said.
"Don't argue, I'll do it. Fellow Daoist He carried me all the way, now it's my turn to repay him." Liang Chen grabbed Li Ze's arm and pulled him onto his flying sword. "Senior brother, junior brother, we'll go first."
Gu Junyu and Lin Jingyuan exchanged a glance. "If we had known, we would have just taken matters into our own hands."
The spiritual energy within a Foundation Establishment cultivator is limited, so it's impossible for them to fly back to the Crimson Pill Sect in one go. After leaving the Endless Mountains and passing through several villages, when they saw a city, Liang Chen and the other two controlled their flying swords to land.
"Let's stay in the city for one night and continue our journey tomorrow," Gu Junyu said.
Li Ze naturally had no objection; he was just about to buy some suitable clothes and boots in the city.
Upon learning that Li Ze wanted to buy clothes, Lin Jingyuan enthusiastically said, "Fellow Daoist He, let me give you some advice."
Li Ze didn't know why he needed advice to buy clothes, but seeing Lin Jingyuan's enthusiasm, he felt embarrassed to refuse.
"Why don't we go to the Treasure Pavilion and buy a few sets of robes?" Gu Junyu suggested.
"The robes are very comfortable, odor-proof, sweat-proof, durable, and have a certain defensive effect. It's worth buying robes," Liang Chen said.
So, Li Ze, who originally only planned to buy a few sets of clothes to change into, was dragged and pulled by Lin Jingyuan and the other two to go to the Baibaoge instead.
After arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Jingyuan wanted to pay for Li Ze's meal, but he refused.
In the end, Li Ze bought three sets of magic robes and three pairs of boots, and the five thousand high-grade spirit stones he had just received were gone.
Lin Jingyuan secretly observed Li Ze's expression, expecting the other party to look pained, but Li Ze remained calm and composed.
He said he was poor, yet he spent so many spirit stones without feeling any pain at all.
