Li Ze knew about dual cultivation; many demonic cultivators practiced it. However, compared to dual cultivation, the more common practice among demonic cultivators was raising a cultivation vessel. Dual cultivation benefited both parties, while raising a cultivation vessel involved the stronger party unilaterally plundering the weaker one, which was more in line with the operating principles of demonic cultivators.
However, even between two people, people will choose someone with a similar or higher cultivation level, as this will bring them the greatest benefits.
Li Ze scanned the men and women; the lowest cultivation level was Qi Refining, and the highest was Foundation Establishment. Therefore, the Senior Brother Mo they were talking about was probably either Foundation Establishment or Golden Core. Judging from their eager expressions, this Senior Brother Mo was most likely a Golden Core cultivator.
Li Ze hadn't considered that Senior Brother Mo was a Nascent Soul cultivator. After all, if he were a Nascent Soul cultivator, the difference in their cultivation levels would be too great. These people's thoughts were like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Lin Jingyuan and his two companions introduced the Crimson Pill Sect to Li Ze along the way. He remained indifferent, occasionally responding with a few words, and his attitude seemed somewhat arrogant.
After spending a few days together, Lin Jingyuan and his two companions got used to his attitude, but others couldn't stand it.
"Who is that? A Qi Refining stage cultivator acting so arrogantly?"
"I've never seen him before, nor have I ever heard of him, but the fact that three of our Foundation Establishment stage senior brothers from the Crimson Pill Sect are accompanying me suggests that his identity is not simple."
"How could he be as noble as a disciple of our Crimson Pill Sect if he's not ordinary? Look at his arrogant appearance, he deserves a beating!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt an itch to punch someone.
At this moment, a disciple timidly spoke up, "Didn't you all consider that the reason your three senior brothers were so attentive to her was because they had taken a liking to her?"
The silence at that moment was deafening.
The disciple continued, "He's so handsome. If I were the one above, I would definitely pursue him. Even if he wanted the stars in the sky, I would find a way to get them for him."
"........"
After that day, Li Ze's good looks became known among the disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect, along with his incompetent cultivation.
Two days later, when this reached the ears of Lin Jingyuan and the other two, their expressions were complicated.
Lin Jingyuan: "If Fellow Daoist He is a fool, then what are we? We're even worse than fools?"
Liang Chen: "There's no need to belittle yourself like that. Others just don't understand Fellow Daoist He."
Gu Junyu: "My intuition tells me that Fellow Daoist He's future achievements will likely be extraordinary."
Neither Lin Jingyuan nor Liang Chen refuted Gu Junyu's words. If a Qi Refining stage cultivator could kill a fourth-tier demon beast with his divine sense, then his divine sense must have at least reached the Golden Core stage.
The fact that He Yu's spiritual consciousness is at the Golden Core stage means that his future cultivation level will at least be at the Golden Core stage.
They were polite to He Yu, partly because of the life-saving grace he had shown them, and partly out of respect for him as a near-Golden Core cultivator.
Don't be fooled by their current status as elite disciples of the sect; they're not even sure if they'll be able to advance to the Golden Core stage in the future. After all, only four or five out of a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators will reach the Golden Core stage.
Li Ze was unaware that he had become famous. Gu Junyu arranged a private guest room for him, where it was quiet and undisturbed.
The spiritual energy within the Crimson Pill Sect is abundant, but so is the malevolent energy. Cultivators generally have blood on their hands; even if they haven't killed humans, they've killed demons or monsters. Once they take life, their bodies become tainted with malevolent energy.
With cultivators from all over gathering at the Crimson Pill Sect, one can imagine how intense the sect's malevolent aura is.
Lin Jingyuan came to see Li Ze several times, wanting to take him out to play, but Li Ze refused each time, and the reason for the refusal was something Lin Jingyuan could not refute.
He wants to cultivate himself.
Cultivation knows no time; more than twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Lin Jingyuan came to see Li Ze again, "He Yu, the secret realm is opening tomorrow, are you ready?"
After spending a few days together, Lin Jingyuan changed his address for Li Ze from Fellow Daoist He to He Yu.
Li Ze nodded, feeling that he no longer needed to prepare anything.
"These are the pills the three of us prepared for you." Lin Jingyuan placed several jade bottles on the table.
“No need, I still have the pills you gave me before,” Li Ze refused.
"Of course, the more pills the better, they can even save lives in critical moments. Alright, don't be polite with us, just accept them. If you feel bad about it, you can sell us what you've obtained in the secret realm. If we can't take it all, our senior brothers and sisters and our master have plenty of spirit stones." What Lin Jingyuan didn't say was that one of the conditions for entering the secret realm was that whatever cultivators obtained from it, whether it was spiritual herbs and fruits or demon beast cores, had to be sold to their Crimson Pill Sect first.
Li Ze nodded, "Okay."
"Huh, you've reached the seventh level of Qi Refining." Only then did Lin Jingyuan notice the change in Li Ze's cultivation level.
Li Ze remained calm. "I advanced a few days ago."
Lin Jingyuan raised an eyebrow. "You have a good attitude."
Thinking back to when I couldn't advance even a small realm during the Qi Refining stage, I wanted to notify everyone I knew.
The next morning, Lin Jingyuan, Gu Junyu, and Liang Chen came together to invite Li Ze, and then the four of them went to the entrance of the secret realm.
It was still dark, and Li Ze thought they had arrived quite early. But when they arrived, they found a huge crowd, and some people's clothes were still damp with dew, indicating that they had been there for some time.
"The earlier you arrive, the earlier you'll be in line, and the earlier you'll be, the sooner you'll enter the secret realm," Lin Jingyuan whispered to Li Ze. "But we don't need to. We were among the first to go in."
Li Ze understood; after all, this was the secret realm of the Crimson Pill Sect, so naturally, the people of the Crimson Pill Sect would be the first to enter.
"This secret realm can only be entered by cultivators at or below the Nascent Soul stage?" Li Ze glanced at the cultivators present and found that the highest cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
