"If the leader hadn't discovered something about Li Jiaqi, we wouldn't have known about this ancient secret."
Speaking of Li Jiaqi, all the four elders present shuddered. In order to kill this ancient evil spirit that had taken over his body, the Dan League had spent countless efforts, and the leader had suffered extremely serious injuries. It took so many years for him to stabilize. It would probably take at least a hundred years to recover, and this was under the effects of various healing medicines.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How is Cui Mei? If she hasn't broken through yet, we'll have to force her to wake up. If we can't make it to the Void Crossing Secret Realm, all our efforts will be wasted."
"It should be no problem. I just went to the third floor and it has reached the condensation stage. I should be able to make it."
"That's good. Third Junior Brother, you must keep an eye on her. Cui Mei is the key to our Dan League's rise."
Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Inside the second floor of the Soul Refining Tower, Ling Tian was already dressed. After a few breaths, he just felt a wave of rejection, and then a flash of light appeared in the tower entrance. Not only him, but other qualified contestants were also there. The smiles on their faces showed that they had gained a lot in the Soul Refining Tower this time.
"Junior Brother Ling, how was your harvest?"
Weng Mingyue walked over. This time she had gained a lot. The power of her soul had increased by nearly one-fold, and her physical condition had also improved significantly.
"Not bad. I really envy you for being able to practice in this blessed place so often. Don't forget me when you ascend to the immortal realm, haha!"
"Well, you and I are from the same country, so we have a connection. I won't stand idly by and help you. If you decide to join the Dan League in the future, please send me a message."
After Weng Mingyue left, Ling Tian also returned to the Tongtian Tower through the Dan League's teleportation array. The business of the Dan Pharmacy was now on track. The daily production of several thousand bottles of pills was simply not enough to meet the huge market, but Wu Minghong's words made him suppress the plan to increase production, and the quenching liquid was also sold in limited quantities.
Back at the temporary headquarters of Danzong, there were already a dozen or so children aged three to five. Ling Tian scanned them with his spiritual sense and found that these children's talents were only above average. However, he did not care. As long as he cultivated their loyalty, as long as there were endless resources, talent would never be the standard for measuring achievement.
"Big Sister, you've found so many disciples in just one month. It seems our sect's revival is just around the corner."
"It's not that easy. It will probably take a long time for them to be able to stand on their own. Junior brother, I think you will gain a lot from this trip to the Alchemy Alliance."
"Very good. By the way, why don't you see Third Senior Sister?"
"She's teaching them at the workshop. This girl goes there every other day now, and has already recruited quite a few of them to join our Dan League."
"This is good news. We just need to take care of the core parts. Senior Sister, these rings are full of materials for refining pills. You can arrange them accordingly. I will also pass on the Lingtian Pill formula to you. I have reached a cooperation agreement with the Alchemy Alliance and will supply them with 500 mid-grade pills and 100 high-grade pills every day. Please pass it on to Third Senior Sister when you have time."
After Ling Tian explained everything, he brought the three-eyed monkey into the space and returned to the Dan League, where he happened to meet Wu Minghong.
"Ling Tian is back. I have something to tell you. Come with me."
Wu Minghong did not take Ling Tian back to his residence, but went to a quiet single house deeper in the area.
"Master, Ling Tian has arrived."
"Ling Tian, this is Chen Geng, the Grand Elder of our Dan League."
Wu Minghong left after introducing himself, leaving Ling Tian confused. Just as he was about to say hello, Chen Geng said, "You're quite good. I called you here because I have a favor to ask."
"Senior, please tell me what you want me to do. I will do my best to fulfill my wishes."
"I need a companion stone of the Hades Flower. As a reward, I will give you these little gadgets."
Ling Tian looked at the three talismans and a black round bead on the table. He was a little excited. With these, he should be able to do it.
"Thank you for the gift, Senior. I will bring it to you."
After leaving the courtyard, Wu Minghong approached Ling Tian again, handed him a Celestial Immortal Talisman, and said, "Ling Tian, this is a gift from us to keep you safe. It contains the immense power channeled in by several of our elders. It can unleash the power of a mid-stage Spiritualization Realm, three times in total. It should be of great help to you."
"Thank you, Elder Wu."
After expressing his gratitude, Ling Tian returned to his residence, holding the treasures given by the Alchemy Alliance in his hands, and was extremely looking forward to the gains from this journey to the Xudu Secret Realm.
The next morning, Ling Tian received the message to gather and hurried away. When he arrived, the place was already full of people, including contestants with similar qualifications to him, and even talented disciples from the Alchemy League.
After a while, a diamond-shaped streak passed across the sky, and an extremely beautiful figure came into everyone's eyes. The holy temperament immediately attracted everyone.
Ling Tian was very surprised. He didn't know her, but he felt like he had seen her before.
"This is the Saint of the Dan League. She is truly like a celestial being."
"Yes, I heard that the Saint Girl has the Emperor Dan physique, but I don't know if it is true."
…
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Ling Tian became even more curious. Before he could think about it, a loud bell rang, bringing everyone back to their senses. Wu Minghong looked at the hundreds of people below and shouted, "You all represent the highest level of alchemy in our young generation of the Northern Territory. You must not lose the spirit of our Northern Territory when you go to Central City. If you can make it into the top 100, in addition to the largest reward, our Alchemy Alliance will also give you a great gift when you return. I hope you will work hard."
"Okay, everyone come up."
Wu Minghong summoned a giant flying beast, the Flame Roc. Its back, which was dozens of feet long, was as flat as the ground. Hundreds of people sitting on it only occupied less than half of the space.
"We're ready to go. Everyone, hold up your shields and keep steady."
The huge gust of air from the flapping wings startled the people on its back. If Wu Minghong hadn't warned them in advance, many people would have been blown away and fallen. After a flash of fire, the figure appeared ten miles away, moving at an extremely fast speed.
Half a month later, a super city that was a hundred times more magnificent than Beidan City appeared before everyone.
Ling Tian couldn't imagine how such a city was built. It was really too shocking.
“Do you know why this place is so magnificent?”
Everyone was puzzled and waited for Wu Minghong to explain.
"Because this is the strongest defense responsible for protecting the safety of our four domains. A few miles north of Central City lies a void rift that connects to the border of the Demon Realm. Every year, countless demons sneak into our territory. To prevent large-scale demon invasions, major sects station disciples here. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, this place has gradually grown in size, ultimately becoming the Central City of today. After this competition, you will also be assigned to guard this void rift. You can only leave after your term expires, so you must be prepared."
