Chapter 16 Accompanying You Through Earth-Shattering Collapse
With such a large sum of money, Yu Shan led everyone to Lingxi Pavilion again the next day.
She was the first to skillfully pick up her pen and write her question on the jade:
"Why is the combat power of people at the same level now so much lower than it was five hundred years ago?"
Soon, the price was announced: 20,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
Yu Shan's heart sank. Based on the information gathered by everyone yesterday, she knew that Lingxi Pavilion had always had a good reputation and would not charge arbitrary fees.
Yesterday she asked the Holy Witch Clan about their method for resolving the crisis. Such a secretive question was only quoted at five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
The price quoted for this issue is now four times higher, which suggests there are many more hidden secrets involved.
After she borrowed two top-grade spirit stones from Bo Yiyan and put them into the hemispherical bowl that required payment, the answer quickly came out.
"Five hundred years ago, after the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, the Holy Witch Clan has never produced anyone who could communicate with Heaven and Earth like her."
The collapse of the polar regions in the four domains caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to dissipate, weakening the heavenly tribulation and reducing the combat power of all realms to varying degrees.
Some suspect that something is wrong with the world, but because no holy maiden who can communicate with heaven and earth has appeared, this cannot be confirmed, nor can the real reason be found.
However, in the past five hundred years, no one has been able to reach the eighth level or above of the Tongtian Realm.
Some speculate that this world had problems as early as 100,000 years ago, because in the past 100,000 years, no one from the Misty Heaven Realm has successfully ascended to the God Realm.
Perhaps this world will slowly degenerate and decline, until it becomes a martial arts continent where spiritual energy cannot be cultivated.
Warning: This message is top secret. Anyone who sees it must keep it confidential, or they will be placed on the Lingxi Hall's kill list and killed without mercy!
After reading the message, Yu Shan couldn't help but curse in her mind: Holy crap! You shameless Lingxi Palace, if this is top secret, why are you selling it for money?
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Those who can spot the problem must be old guys who are at least 500 years old. The younger generation, without comparison, won't realize that the world's overall combat power is declining.
Those who are willing to spend so much money to ask Lingxi Pavilion for an answer must not be ordinary people. In that case, Lingxi Palace will give them face and can also make a profit along the way.
As for this last warning, it's actually quite easy to understand. Once this message spreads, it will make everyone feel insecure, which will not help solve the fundamental problem at all. On the contrary, it may lead to chaos in the whole world.
Everyone who stands at the pinnacle of this world probably doesn't want to see this outcome.
Yu Shan was truly troubled at this moment. The crisis of the Holy Witch Clan had not yet been resolved, and now a crisis had emerged in this world.
She felt that her strength was really weak and she couldn't bear such a heavy burden.
She instinctively leaned her head against the person next to her. Although he was only a low-level fighter and couldn't help much, she just wanted to catch her breath in his arms.
"What's wrong? Why are you so pale?" Xiaobai asked, hugging her.
"I can't tell you why, but I just feel very tired." Feather Fan looked visibly frustrated.
"If you're tired, lean on me to rest. Even if the sky falls, there's always a big guy to hold it up. And if the big guy can't hold it up, I'll hold up this little part of your head for you."
"If I can't hold on any longer, at least I can be there for you to face the cataclysmic disaster," Xiaobai said softly.
"Alright, with you by my side, even if I'm reduced to ashes, I have no fear." Feather Fan finally perked up.
The couple whispered to each other, which looked like they were showing affection to each other, so no one noticed anything unusual.
The high price charged by Lingxi Pavilion put pressure on Bo Yiyan. He originally thought that 10,000 top-grade spirit stones would go by quickly, but he didn't expect to spend two of them in the blink of an eye.
However, as a former tycoon, he knew that money was earned, not saved, so his next research focus was on which potion was the most profitable in the world.
Everyone had many questions they wanted to ask, but seeing that Yu Shan had spent two top-grade spirit stones on just one question, they all backed down.
Finally, after a group discussion, they decided to ask a question of common concern: how to convert a martial artist's energy system into spiritual power.
This was something that Yu Shan, an original inhabitant of the Misty Heaven Realm, was unaware of, because she had spiritual roots from birth and cultivated the witch spirit power of the Holy Witch Clan, which was different from other spiritual cultivators.
This problem only cost five hundred mid-grade spirit stones, so cheap that no one could believe it.
The answer is simple—soak it in the Spirit Tempering Liquid for three days and three nights.
Friendly reminder: The cost of the medicinal materials required to prepare the Spirit Tempering Liquid is on average 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and the process is extremely painful.
Feather Fan and his group were all people of strong will, and they did not pay much attention to the pain mentioned in the prompt.
As for the 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones for the Spirit Tempering Liquid, Bo Yiyan expressed his willingness to sponsor it free of charge.
He still has over nine thousand top-grade spirit stones left. It's just one stone per person, right? He's a wealthy man who can afford it!
