Chapter 201 Mo You is stopped outside the inner gate, attempting to go to the Demon Realm.
As Elder You finished speaking, the two officially became Daoist partners.
Wen Zhiling and the others watched the two with gratified smiles. As the saying goes, on the path of cultivation, to meet a compatible partner in every way is an extremely rare thing.
It was three days later that Song Yin and Shi Heming's sworn brotherhood ceremony was completed.
Over the past three days, countless high-level cultivators have come and gone from the Immortal Firmament Sect. Some of these high-level cultivators even bring their personal disciples with them. These personal disciples, upon arriving at the Immortal Firmament Sect, would engage in brief duels with the sect's disciples. Since they were all young and knew when to stop, the high-level cultivators and others turned a blind eye and let them be.
However, bringing these disciples together inevitably led to some strange changes.
Are you telling the truth?
"Of course it's true!"
Several young cultivators were whispering together. Mo You, who had just finished slaughtering a demon beast in the dining hall, came out and overheard their mysterious conversation. He pricked up his ears and leaned in to eavesdrop.
Before he could finish listening, a high-level cultivator flew over and called his disciple back.
"Zhao Zhu, it's time to go."
"Liu Mu, let's set off back to our clan."
Some of the disciples, having been called away by their master, began to consider staying.
"Master, can I stay at the Immortal Cloud Sect for a while? Not too long, just a month!" The speaker was a girl who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. She had just embarked on the path of immortality and was still in the early stage of Qi Refining. Her master doted on this disciple and personally took her with him on this trip.
The girl's master, a kind-faced high-level female cultivator, looked displeased upon hearing this.
Mo You hadn't heard anything useful yet, and fearing that all of them would be called away, he spoke up directly: "Wait a minute, tell me what you were saying just now, and you can leave after you've finished."
It's no wonder Mo You was so curious. He had first heard the name "Elder Song," and he knew Elder Song well. He even hoped she could send him back to the Demon Realm after she finished her business. He had stayed here too long; it was time for him to go back. If he didn't, his brothers and sisters would really take the throne from him.
Mo You has always been very confident; he believes he will definitely be the next Demon Emperor.
Something went wrong during the power grab? No problem, he can just have someone send him back.
"This..." The kind-faced high-level female cultivator hesitated, unsure how to address Mo You, because she couldn't detect any spiritual energy fluctuations on the other party.
There are two types of people who do not exhibit spiritual energy fluctuations: one is someone whose cultivation level is high and who is deliberately concealing their cultivation level, and the other is a mortal who has not yet drawn spiritual energy into their body.
Mo You appeared at the Immortal Firmament Sect, and to be honest, it was impossible to immediately determine which type he belonged to. The first type? But he seemed somewhat foolish, his thoughts too easily read, unlike a high-level cultivator. The second type? But this was the Immortal Firmament Sect; how could a mortal appear here?
A disciple of the Immortal Firmament Sect recognized Mo You, "Hey, aren't you the guy who kills demonic beasts in the kitchen?"
Mo You: "That's right. Can you tell me what you were talking about just now?"
"You, someone who can't absorb spiritual energy, are curious about this?" The Immortal Cloud Sect disciple scratched his head. "That's right, since you can't absorb spiritual energy, you should be more interested in this kind of thing."
So the disciples of the Immortal Firmament Sect recounted what they had just discussed.
The content is very simple and can be summarized in one sentence: those who are noticed by Elder Song can ascend to immortality.
Alternatively, it could be changed to: Getting close to Elder Song will allow you to ascend to immortality!
The kind-faced high-level female cultivator finally understood why her disciple wanted to stay in the Immortal Cloud Sect. She was both amused and exasperated, and dragged her disciple away by the ear. On the way, she scolded her for believing such absurd words and told her that cultivating diligently and being down-to-earth was the only way to ascend.
Everyone had left, and the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect were also about to disperse. Before leaving, another disciple said to Mo You, "That senior is right, it's just a rumor, brother, don't take it to heart."
Mo You ignored the other party's words and instead kept the rumors firmly in mind.
That Elder Song is indeed powerful; he can actually decide a person's ascension.
They also have the concept of ascension among demons, but it's unclear whether Elder Song is involved in the matter of demon ascension.
Mo You turned and headed towards Danque Peak, the inner gate.
Last time he was allowed to go to Danque Peak because the sect leader gave the order, but this time he was directly stopped outside.
The reason is simple: those who are not inner disciples are not allowed to easily enter or leave the inner sect.
Mo You's plan to find Song Yin failed.
He could only return to his small house, dejected and sighing.
"Sigh, in the Demon Realm I was a demon with an entire palace and demon servants to serve me, but in the Xuan Tian Realm I only deserve to live in a small house and have to kill demon beasts every day, sigh!"
Mo You sighed for a while, then suddenly grabbed her hair in frustration, "If my sister had been here back then, the other demons wouldn't have been able to plot against me. Damn it!"
Mo You has ten siblings, including himself. They share the same father but not the same mother. Mo You only acknowledges one older sister, Mo Ying, who is the third child in the family. They share the same mother.
"Forget it, I'd better figure out how to get them to let me go to the inner sect first." Mo Yousheng collapsed onto the bed, utterly dejected.
Inner Gate Danque Peak.
After the sworn brotherhood ceremony concluded, Shi Heming spent nine out of ten days at Danque Peak, leading some to believe he was a direct disciple of Danque Peak. When the disciples of Danque Peak greeted him, he maintained his gentle demeanor.
Even though he was just teaching his disciples swordsmanship at the training ground at the foot of the mountain, or teaching them alchemy in the alchemy room, Shi Heming would always personally come to pick up Song Yin when it was almost over.
The disciples were initially surprised, but gradually got used to it.
While Song Yin was in the alchemy room, she carefully pointed out the problems in the alchemy process of several alchemy disciples. She felt something and looked up to see a familiar person standing outside the window, staring intently at her.
Song Yin: ...
Song Yin transmitted her voice: "Why are you here again?" She was at Danque Peak, not outside the Xianxiao Sect!
Shi Heming's smile vanished, and he transmitted his voice: "Did I disturb Yinyin?"
Song Yin transmitted her voice: "No, never mind, just find somewhere to sit down."
Shi Heming smiled again and transmitted his voice: "Okay."
Song Yin shook her head helplessly, but without Song Yin's knowledge, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Elder, did I do this step correctly?" a disciple asked, pointing to his half-finished product.
Song Yin walked in and said, "The temperature can be a little higher, but not too high."
"Elder, why are most of the pills I refine below the high grade in each batch?"
"The dosage of the spiritual herbs is incorrect, or the refining temperature is wrong. Check which one is the cause yourself."
"Elder, I want to increase my alchemy speed. Do you have any tips?"
"Practice makes perfect, so just keep practicing. You can speed up the process of handling the spiritual herbs, but there are some steps in the later stages of refining that can't be sped up. What you're refining now are only second-grade or third-grade pills. Some of the higher-grade eighth-grade or ninth-grade pills might take more than ten days to refine in one batch."
"Elder, is it possible to improve the speed of alchemy?"
"Keep it up! If you succeed, the alchemists of the Xuan Tian Realm will surely sing your praises."
"Elder, does joining Danque Peak guarantee ascension? Does becoming familiar with an elder really speed up cultivation?"
"Fly...ascend?" Song Yin, who had been answering the disciples' questions, almost stammered. She silently repeated the question in her mind, then looked at the disciple who had asked the question with surprise. "Joining Danque Peak does not guarantee ascension, and the idea that people I know will have faster cultivation speeds is utter nonsense. Where did you hear such outrageous rumors?"
For a moment, the other disciples in the alchemy room who were diligently refining pills silently slowed down, all paying attention to this matter.
They had heard rumors about Elder Song, and at first they all thought they were false, but later the rumors became so detailed that they almost believed them!
After chatting about Elder Song's sworn brotherhood ceremony for a while, the cultivators stopped talking about it and instead became more and more enthusiastic about matters related to cultivation, since cultivators are more willing to pay attention to things related to cultivation.
The disciple turned his bracelet awkwardly, then slowly said, "I heard it from other people. Last time I went to the outer sect, I heard many people talking about it, and they even gave a lot of examples."
Song pronunciation: 6.
Just like how students love to listen to their teachers gossip in class, the alchemy disciples in the alchemy room have also shifted their focus, and some didn't even notice that their alchemy furnaces were emitting a burnt smell.
With a snap of her fingers, Song Yin extinguished the flames beneath each alchemy furnace, then said, "Seeing that your minds are no longer on alchemy, tell me, what are some examples?"
"For example, Senior Shi, Senior Xia, Elder Han, and others. They all say that the two seniors who recently ascended in the cultivation world are acquaintances of yours, Elder."
At first glance, it seems to be true. Song Yin said, "Have you ever thought that they are very powerful? Among the people I know, there are those who cultivate quickly, those who cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage and then abandon their cultivation to start over, and those who have high cultivation but then die when their lifespan ends."
Song Yin recounted the people she knew, "Oh, there were those with innate Dao bodies who died young, those who were disciples of powerful figures who were killed, and those geniuses who returned home only to have their entire families wiped out..."
Each time Song Yin spoke, the young disciples trembled.
"Eek!" One disciple couldn't help but rub his arm. Elder Song was terrifying, like he was checking the Book of Life and Death.
Seeing that the situation was about right, Song Yin changed the subject, "So, let's just focus on cultivating diligently and practically."
"yes!"
"But Elder, do you have any free time lately?" a disciple suddenly asked.
Song Yin frowned slightly: "Why are you asking this?" These disciples had never inquired about this kind of issue before, so was he asking on behalf of someone else?
“I have a big appetite and often go to the dining hall. Over time, I got to know Mo You in the kitchen. He asked me to ask around and said that he wanted to come and see you last time, but he was stopped and not allowed to enter the inner gate.”
Song Yin: "Mo You..."
She had almost forgotten about this demon. She wondered why the demon hadn't come looking for her. It turned out that the demon was being blocked from entering the inner gate.
"Alright, I understand. You guys continue refining the pills." Song Yin urged them to resume refining the pills, but in her heart she was thinking about whether she should help.
Last time I went to the Nine Spirit Realm, I unexpectedly gained enlightenment of the power of the Great Dao Laws. If I go to the Demon Realm again, will I gain anything else?
Song Yin only discovered after reaching the Tribulation Transcending stage that it became increasingly difficult to improve her cultivation level. It's hard to imagine that the slight change in her cultivation after breaking through the Tribulation Transcending stage was due to dual cultivation, and even then, it was only a small part, since it was a dual cultivation technique, not an evil one.
To take it a step further, we still need to seize the opportunity.
Why not consult the oracle? Song Yin subconsciously thought of her grandmaster, but then realized that her grandmaster had already ascended to heaven, and the small wisp of unconscious soul he left behind could only teach his successors how to cultivate.
If she couldn't find her grandmaster, she could only try to find Elder Su, but she didn't know if she could succeed. Also, if she really agreed to Mo You's request, she needed to first find out about the current state of the Demon Realm and the living habits of the demons.
Song Yin stood still for a long time, her expression growing increasingly serious. The disciples assumed that Song Yin was angry because they had been distracted earlier, so they all perked up and resumed processing the spiritual herbs and refining the pills, no longer daring to speak carelessly.
After thinking about all this, only Song Yin herself knew that she was moved.
Those secret realms, big and small, are all the same old things. It's hard to find another opportunity in the cultivation world that will allow her to ascend. If she wants to ascend quickly, she has to step out of her comfort zone.
