Cultivation World 6 Return to the Underground Palace
In the early morning, several people stopped working one after another. When they opened their eyes, they saw that Xie Yunsui had already started to boil the soup.
"It seems we are in for a treat again." Zhu Ming said with a smile.
Qing Wen sighed, "Why did Brother Xie even prepare a pot? How much stuff did he bring in?"
Unlike them, because the Qiankun bag has a smaller memory, everything is kept as simple as possible.
I have to stay here for a year. Even if I have the magic to purify clothes and don't need to change clothes frequently, they are bound to be damaged during fighting. Walking in the secret realm in tattered clothes, I will occasionally meet two fellow disciples. It is really embarrassing and also a disgrace to the sect, so I have to prepare several sets of clothes.
I need to prepare a year's supply of Bigu Pills, right? As for the rest, such as Huiling Pills and Xiaohuan Pills, the more the better.
In addition to the main weapon, shouldn't I prepare some additional offensive and defensive weapons?
This basically fills up the Qiankun bag, and some money has to be reserved to hold the treasures obtained in the secret realm.
Unless they are from big sects or those who are very powerful and wealthy, ordinary disciples like them who come from small sects usually only have a Qiankun bag and their outfits are similar.
Not to mention bringing cookware and seasonings, they would have to worry for a long time even if it was just to stuff an extra pair of socks in.
I have to say, it’s great to be able to refine space equipment by yourself.
Qingwen had recently been enjoying the benefits of having so much space. Seeing a large number of spiritual plants growing, he didn't have to worry about whether they were worth collecting. Would the spiritual plants in the next place he went to be more valuable than the ones he had this time? He just filled his space gourd with them. When it was full, there was always another one.
Ling Xiyuan smelled the fragrance early on and came over to ask if he needed help.
Xie Yunsui asked, "Do you like thinner slices of meat or thicker chunks?"
Ling Xiyuan: "Is there any difference?"
"It's a great pleasure to eat meat in big mouthfuls. The meat slices are cooked immediately after being boiled, making them more flavorful."
Ling Xiyuan's eyes lit up: "Meat slices."
Ever since he discovered yesterday that Xiaoxi likes food, Xie Yunsui has been thinking about trying a different way to capture her.
He has confirmed that Xiaoxi and Qingwen are simply senior and junior brothers and sisters. Xiaoxi's closeness to Qingwen is also because they are disciples of the same master. Compared with him and Zhu Ming, whom he just met in the secret realm, of course he should take more care of Qingwen, who has a lower cultivation level.
I also secretly tried to test Qingwen to see if Xiaoxi had any love relationship in the sect?
Qingwen laughed and secretly told him that there were indeed many junior brothers and sisters who admired Senior Brother Ling, but Senior Brother Ling seemed to be a little stupid and had no idea about it.
Xie Yunsui cooked the other leaves in the soup pot. These were spiritual plants that could be eaten directly. Making pills was similar to cooking.
"We've almost finished gathering the spiritual plants around here. Where should we go next?"
While waiting for the soup pot to boil, everyone chatted about the next steps.
"Senior Sister said that this secret realm is full of spiritual plants. Should we explore the edge?"
Zhu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I can find a place with abundant spiritual energy and practice well."
I'm always running around like this and I can't really calm down.
Qing Wen: "I'm fine with anything. I'll follow you, brother."
Ling Xiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, after hunting down a few monsters, it's time to digest them. Let's pack up and return to the underground palace."
"Underground Palace?" Xie Yunsui added a few pieces of curry into the soup pot.
"Senior Sister said that everyone who comes to the secret realm is heading for the underground palace. Generally, after three months, most cultivators will be able to find the underground palace." Ling Xiyuan turned his eyes away from the soup pot and explained to him with a smile: "There are many people there, and everyone is used to exchanging a batch of spiritual plants, animal bones, etc...."
Simply put, where there are people, there are transactions.
Those who had just entered the secret realm and landed farther away picked a lot of spiritual plants on the way to the underground palace.
Some people have inherited the tradition first and are already able to refine some medicines, but unfortunately they do not have all the necessary materials.
Some independent cultivators have exceeded their bone age and are no longer able to participate in sect trials, so they have to take unconventional approaches, hoping to obtain inherited abilities so they can sell them at a good price.
There are also disciples from large sects who come here specifically for purchasing. Their Qiankun bags are full of spirit stones, and they hope to recruit talented alchemists here. If they cannot recruit talents, they can just buy enough pills to take back and get by.
"We brought a few magical instruments with us on this trip. If anyone takes a fancy to them, we can exchange them for a batch of spirit stones."
As for secret realms, especially those that can be inherited by anyone and win easily, they are basically for resource exchange.
Xie Yunsui suddenly realized that he had seen a similar scene in the later part of the plot line. In the early part, the protagonist was unaware of the situation because he had been avoiding people and practicing alone.
It’s good to have a deal.
He was worrying about how to earn some spirit stones.
The magic tools and elixirs that he had obtained from the demon cultivators were originally placed in the space gourd. Later, he dug up a lot of spiritual plants, animal bones and bottles and jars of elixirs, and simply moved them to Xiaowan's warehouse.
I didn’t expect that Xiao Wan could actually absorb the energy directly from it.
Regardless of whether the energy is good or evil, this is a distinction that only humans can make. Demonic energy is also energy, it just absorbs it.
Then Xie Yunsui found that instead of wasting time and energy on secondary use, feeding it directly to Xiao Wan was also a good choice.
This also made him realize that although fighting in the world of cultivation takes a lot of energy, all things are naturally rich in spiritual energy, and it is also easy to replenish it. The most direct way is to feed it with spirit stones.

On their way back, they discovered that the red fox beast that had caused them to flee in panic had been dealt with, and the fire grass that the beast had been guarding was naturally gone.
Lihuo grass can be used to refine pills that increase attack power, and probably every cultivator would not miss it if they see it.
After nearly two months, several sheds have been built above the underground palace. Some people even just sit cross-legged with a piece of cloth in front of them and sell goods.
The most eye-catching one is an exquisite two-story glazed pavilion.
The Glazed Pavilion is a magical tool of the Xuan grade. Although it cannot be used in combat, practicing with it can help one concentrate the mind and enter the meditation stage more quickly.
It can be considered a magic weapon to assist in spiritual practice. It shrinks to the size of a palm on a normal day and can be easily carried. When it is needed, it can be taken out and activated with spiritual power, and people can live in it in an instant.
This thing is expensive, and only monks who are not short of money and are very particular will buy it.
Xie Yunsui took a closer look and felt eager to make a move.
The only thing he could build at any time was a shed. It would be great if he could make a small house like this and carry it with him.
"Those are disciples of the Qingyan Sect. Stay away and don't disturb them."
Someone nearby kindly reminded them not to get too close.
Xie Yunsui was curious: "If they don't want to disturb others, why are they still staying here? Can't they find a quiet place?"
The monk chuckled and said, "They are waiting for someone here."
Qing Wen asked, "Are we from the same sect?"
"Just wait for someone with a full inheritance to appear." The man continued without further suspense, "I've been here for a month, and no one who can obtain an Earth-level elixir has appeared. This year's batch is uncertain."
"Are you going to the underground palace now? The entrance is over there."
The disciples of Qingyan Sect want talents, so they naturally won't let people be stuck at the entrance of the underground palace. What if there is such a genius in alchemy who is stuck by the formation?
Those who came later were lucky. They could enter the underground palace directly. There were people inside to lead the way and wait for the lucky ones to appear.
Unfortunately, not everyone has the word talent.
Those who only got a bottle of elixir in a wooden bottle are extremely stupid.
If you get two bottles, it means you are not getting any benefit.
Those who have a little bit of skills also got a small jade bottle, which is a mysterious elixir. If they focus on this and practice diligently, they may be able to use their skills to enter some small sects and receive offerings. Even if they don't want to be controlled by the sect, they can still achieve freedom of spirit stones.
Only those who have obtained earth-level elixirs and appeared with a jade box are worthy of attention from top sects like Qingyan Sect. This shows that they at least have the talent to refine mysterious-level elixirs. If they are lucky, they can cultivate to the level of transformation into a god, and refining earth-level elixirs will be a piece of cake.
Of course, the elixir recipes they inherited from the Alchemy Saint are also extremely important.
In the previous sessions, there were several people who inherited the jade box. They all got two earth-level pill recipes. When the people from Qingyan Sect took them back and asked about them, they found that the recipes were different.
No one could tell exactly how many elixir recipes this senior Alchemy Saint had accumulated. The Qingyan Sect naturally wanted to obtain them all, so every time the secret realm opened, they would send people to monitor it.
Ling Xiyuan glanced at Xie Yunsui sideways. It is not that easy to join the Qingyan Sect. This is a great opportunity.
A few people got some information and chose a place away from the crowd to discuss it in a low voice.
"I heard that the Qingyan Sect is very generous in supporting alchemists." Zhu Mingdao.
Qing Wen was happy for Xie Yunsui: "Brother Xie, are you going to be honest? As long as you enter the Qingyan Sect, you basically won't have to worry about the Golden Core Stage."
As a top-tier sect, Qingyan Sect naturally possesses various skills. Unlike Hengwu Pavilion, whose founder is a music cultivator and most of its disciples also practice music, the sect's skills and secret manuals are all for music cultivators. If they want to find a young sword cultivator or alchemy cultivator, they have no skills to teach them.
Unless you don't have any spiritual roots at all and can't even get started with Qi training, Qingyan Sect will always have a technique that suits you.
With the ability to obtain suitable skills and guidance from powerful people in the Nascent Soul and Spiritual Transformation stages, there are many trial sites within the sect, and there is no need to worry about cultivation resources. That is why it is said that the Qingyan Sect has as many golden elixirs as there are dogs.
Ling Xiyuan had witnessed Xie Yunsui's composure when refining pills. He also had a solid foundation in refining weapons and formations, and his swordsmanship was not bad either. Qingyan Sect would certainly spare no effort in cultivating such a talent.
But he also knew that he should respect Xie Yunsui's own choice.
"If you want to go, we can help recommend you to the Qingyan Sect disciples. If you don't want to go, we will pretend that we don't know that you have obtained the jade box."
Xie Yunsui didn't want to go to the Qingyan Sect. Although the big sects seemed free and easy, they actually had a lot of rules. Once he entered the sect, he would definitely not be able to leave in a short time.
Moreover, the leader of Qingyan Sect is not a good person either. He would rather go to a small sect, such as Hengwu Pavilion.
But he couldn't reveal his thoughts so obviously. Xie Yunsui joked, "I like to live a free and unrestrained life and make friends anytime and anywhere. If you catch the eyes of Qing Yanzong, I won't be able to make pills for you."
Zhu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "In fact, large sects have many rules, but our Bixiao Sect doesn't have so many rules. Xianyou Xie is so capable, if he goes to our Bixiao Sect, the elders will definitely rush to accept him as an inner disciple."
Xie Yunsui smiled and pointed at his school uniform: "You call this not having so many rules?"
If you are still wearing school uniform when you are out for training, the rules will be much more rigid.
Zhu Ming glanced at the dark blue robe. He didn't expect to be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief: "I also want to fight for the sect."
After being interrupted by Zhu Ming, Ling Xiyuan suddenly became interested.
Their sect practices free-range education, and he was raised by his senior brothers and sisters, and then he went on to help his junior brothers and sisters. He was truly free...
But he quickly suppressed the thought. The sect had nothing to give him, so he decided not to delay him.
