For this Baiyujing competition, the Shushan leaders have already offered clearly marked rewards for each seat.

Among them, if one can enter the top six, regardless of the specific ranking, he will be rewarded with a Zhusui Pill as a minimum.

For those who rank among the top five to the first place, there will be extra rewards besides Zhu Sui Dan, but no one knows what they are exactly.

"This Zhu Sui Dan, if taken once, can increase the cultivation level of the Transformation Palace by thirty years." Lin Duanshan also added, "But the best part is that there is no upper limit to the amount of this thing you can take."

Ling Yunpo's spirit suddenly perked up: "No upper limit? How did you get this from?"

"For common medicines, such as the Golden Mercury Dan Huaye, you can only take one spoonful at most and then you can't drink it anymore. But this Zhu Sui Dan is different. It is said that the head of Kunlun Ziwei took a total of three Zhu Sui Dan pills, which was equivalent to increasing his cultivation by ninety years, and he did not encounter any upper limit bottleneck." Lin Duanshan sighed, "It can be seen that the value of this Zhu Sui Dan is actually higher than the purple mansion secret medicine of the same age of thirty years."

"Of course." Guan Shanyue agreed with a smile, "It's like having a spoonful of golden mercury elixir and two red marrow pills for me to choose from. I will definitely choose the latter."

"It's probably because if I take two Zhu Sui Dan, I can continue to improve my cultivation by obtaining more Zhu Sui Dan or other Zifu secret medicines through other means in the future."

"But if you choose a spoonful of the Gold Mercury Dan Hua Liquid, and then accidentally get more Gold Mercury Dan Hua Liquid later, you can't drink more because you have reached the upper limit. Wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?"

"That's true." An Zhisu nodded, but saw his fellow apprentice beside him frowning and saying nothing.

Everyone followed her gaze and looked at Ling Yunpo.

What Ling Yunpo was thinking at this moment was, what on earth did Sect Leader Ziwei do back then to be able to get three Zhusui Pills in one go?

It can't be that the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox religion were saved.

After thinking for a moment, he asked curiously:

"This Vermillion Pill...what materials are used to make it?"

"Hey." Duan Fenhai sneered and said, "The recipe for refining Zhu Sui Dan is not top secret, and most of the materials are not difficult to obtain. Only the main ingredient is absolutely rare. If you are not from a big sect, there is no way to get it."

"What's the main ingredient?" Ling Yunpo asked seriously.

"A drop of immortal's blood." Duan Fenhai replied.

Everyone: ...

Fuck! Ling Yunpo suddenly cursed in his heart.

He suddenly realized that in the Demon Locking Tower, didn’t Yinglong, who was at the immortal level, give him a drop of blood essence, allowing him to disguise himself as Long Long?

If I had known earlier, I would have asked for a few more drops and refined four or five Zhu Sui Dan. Wouldn't I have already become a first-grade golden elixir by now?

"Guan Shanyue." An Zhisu asked in confusion, and it was obvious that he and Ling Yunpo had the same idea. "If the Vermillion Marrow Pill requires the blood of an immortal, why don't you ask your ancestor for a few drops and make a high-grade golden pill directly?"

"An Zhisu, you think it's simple." Guan Shanyue said with a chuckle, "The blood of immortals will damage the origin, how can we get it from the ancestor?"

"Even the three Zhu Sui Dan that the Kunlun Sect Master took back then came from three different immortals. Unless you can make the immortal owe you a big favor, it is impossible to get this thing."

"Speaking of this, do you know why Shushan can release six Zhusui Pills at once this time?" Lin Duanshan suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Please explain in detail, Senior Brother Lin." Ling Yunpo said hurriedly.

"People in the peak speculated that the death of Taoist Master Daoye last time dealt a heavy blow to that person." Lin Duanshan said seriously, "The blood essence must have broken the heart meridians before it could overflow. Every extra drop would cause great damage."

"But if it was because of a severe shock to the mind and heart that damaged the heart meridians, forcing the blood and essence to overflow... then it can be explained that all of it was made into Zhu Sui Dan to avoid waste."

"You mean, that person's mind was damaged because of the death of his beloved disciple?" Guan Shanyue narrowed his eyes.

"It's just a guess." Lin Duanshan shook his head. "However, for an immortal, even if the heart meridian is damaged, it is not a serious injury. It will recover after a hundred years of rest."

"So, we can't rule out the possibility that the person wanted to support the reputation of the sect, so he released all the Zhu Sui Dan that had been accumulated over the years this time."

"That really cost a lot of money." An Zhisu said casually.

Then she saw everyone staring at her in surprise.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" An Zhisu asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Everyone shook their heads.

"Investing a lot of money" can be understood as paying a heavy price, or it can be literally understood as "using blood and energy as capital", which is a very clever double entendre.

However, considering the Grass-Mowing Sword Immortal's silly social awkwardness, it was probably just a coincidence, so everyone stopped worrying about it.

"Speaking of which," Duan Fenhai said thoughtfully, "Can our Shushan really occupy the top six? I don't think so."

"For example, if there are only two of us from Shushan this time and we are among the top six in the Baiyujing competition, we only need to pay two Zhusui Pills... Maybe our sect doesn't even have six Zhusui Pills prepared."

"It's not that it may not be possible, it's definitely impossible." Lin Duanshan said with a wry smile, "Kunlun Foundation Establishment Realm Grand Chief, the Taoist Heart of Great Understanding Qiu Changtian, you all know him, right? He's the one who went to the Demon Locking Tower with us last time."

"How can I not know you?" Guan Shanyue said with a smile.

Everyone else thought she meant "Qiu Changtian is very famous, so I know him", but only Ling Yunpo realized that Guan Shanyue said this because her cousin Guan Zhan was Qiu Changtian's junior fellow apprentice.

Since the chief disciple has to teach on behalf of the master, Qiu Changtian is nominally a fellow disciple to Guan Zhan, but in reality they are master and disciple. Given Guan Shanyue's personality, it is basically impossible that he has not paid attention to Qiu Changtian.

"So what do you think of Qiu Changtian's strength?" Lin Duanshan sighed.

"If I were to face him, there's no way I'd win." Duan Fenhai said in a deep voice, "According to my friend in Kunlun, the chief of the foundation-building realm has probably already formed a jade palace, and his goal now is a second-grade golden elixir."

"I've heard about that, too." Guan Shanyue said with a smile, "This time, the Kunlun Sect Leader instructed Qiu Changtian that he must take the top spot in the Baiyujing Competition."

"In this way, he is not only the chief of Kunlun Foundation Establishment Realm, but also the 'chief' of the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Church."

"The reason why the Kunlun Sect Leader said this is of course because he has confidence." Lin Duanshan said seriously, "I heard that Qiu Changtian's strength has reached..."

"That's enough." An Zhisu suddenly interrupted in a cold voice, "Just tell us the information. What's the point of just bragging about the other party's strength? When sword immortals like me encounter a strong enemy, we should draw our swords and fight!"

"The competition isn't a life-and-death duel. No matter how strong and fierce Qiu Changtian is, are you still afraid of being killed by him?"

"That's true." Lin Duanshan immediately laughed dryly and said, "It was us who showed our weakness. Thank you, Senior Sister An, for your warning."

Guan Shanyue didn't buy it, and said with a smile:

"Lin Duanshan, reflect on yourself and don't drag us into this. Qiu Changtian's strength is something everyone has known for a long time, so what's wrong with discussing it?"

"An Zhisu, if it were you, in the last battle when the Demon Cult besieged Penglai, could you have broken the Jie Cult's Immortal Execution Sword Formation by yourself?"

"That's not the complete Zhu Xian Sword Formation..." An Zhisu had just said this when he was interrupted by Duan Fenhai.

"Even if it's incomplete, many of Kunlun's Nascent Soul elders are trapped in it and can't escape. Do you, An Zhisu, think that you are more powerful than the Kunlun elders?"

"That's not what I meant." An Zhisu said angrily, "But I also don't believe that Qiu Changtian is more powerful than the Kunlun elders! He must have taken advantage of something!"

Ling Yunpo laughed awkwardly beside him: It's true, thanks to my Qingping Sword, I was given the strategy to break the formation directly...

But Senior Sister An seems to have a very bad impression of Qiu Changtian! Yes, I remember that when we first met in the Demon Locking Tower, she didn't like Qiu Changtian's high-profile appearance.

"In short, no matter how outrageous the outside world is, when we get to the Baiyujing competition, we will have to speak with our swords!" An Zhisu finally said, "In my opinion, Junior Brother Ling is no weaker than Qiu Changtian!"

Seeing that she started to make unreasonable judgments, what else could Lin Duanshan and others say? They could only agree with her awkwardly. After all, no one wanted to compete with the Sword Immortal before the big competition.

Ling Yunpo also showed an awkward smile.

Although the senior sister was only defending her shortcomings, she was actually right this time.

Logically speaking, of course, I cannot be weaker than “me”.
