The sky was clear, and the mountains undulated in a crisscross pattern. Not a cloud graced the azure sky, and the mountains and the sky shared a single color, as if masterfully blended by the most perfect artist. Looking out, the entire Feihua Sect region felt like springtime, with vibrant colors dotting the emerald mountains, a veritable spectacle of blooming brocade.
When everyone arrived at the gate of Feihua Sect, the Sect Master and elders who had received the news were already waiting there.
As the supreme elder of Mount Taihua, Xuan Lingzi deserves such a reception ceremony.
This was Luo Jianqing's first visit to the Feihua Sect, a sect some distance from Mount Taihua, very close to the Far North. Among cultivators throughout the world, there were many rumors about the Feihua Sect.
Some people say that the founder of Feihua Sect was a female cultivator who was disappointed in love and hated all male cultivators in the world from then on, so she only accepted female disciples; others say that the founder was a super empress who roamed the world and had a harem of three thousand concubines ten thousand years ago, but finally felt too fed up with it, so she dismissed all the male cultivators and founded Feihua Sect.
In short, Feihua Sect is a very unique sect among the cultivation sects, and it is also the paradise in the hearts of many male cultivators.
However, the Feihua Sect would not easily allow male cultivators to enter their mountain gates. If a female cultivator from outside the sect passed by and wanted to rest in the Feihua Sect, the Feihua Sect would entertain her. But if it was a male cultivator, sorry, the Feihua Sect would never accept a stinking man!
After Luo Jianqing and his group arrived at Feihua Sect, they were quickly arranged a place to live.
Although the black flame demon fire beast had been killed by Xuan Lingzi and did not cause any harm, it also revealed a piece of information: the chess pieces placed by the demon realm in the thirty-six states are absolutely huge in number and are not weak in strength.
Fairy Liuyu, the head of the Feihua Sect, said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanlingzi, you've also seen that the Black Flame Demonic Fire Beast has already reached the Great Perfection of the Late Tribulation Realm. Furthermore, for a demonic beast, it possesses innate abilities, far surpassing cultivators of the same realm. This Black Flame Demonic Fire Beast is the most powerful demonic beast we've discovered so far, but I heard that the Broken Soul Sect has also discovered a demonic beast in the Early Tribulation Realm within our territory."
Xuan Lingzi nodded gently: "Eradication of the demon spies in the thirty-six states is a matter of urgency."
Fairy Liu Yu said, "That's true, but monsters are very good at concealing their auras, so it's difficult to detect them."
After a pause, the purple-robed Fairy Liu Yu turned to look at Luo Jianqing. She glanced at him gently, but before she could speak, she heard Xuan Lingzi say calmly, "Jianqing is not an outsider."
Fairy Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then continued, "Both my Thirty-Six States and the Demon Realm have also sent spies into the Demon Realm, but the scale is far less than the number of chess pieces they have placed in the Thirty-Six States."
Luo Jianqing's heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that the human race also arranges chess pieces in the demon realm!
Even with the existence of the contract, and the two tribes maintaining a century of peace, no one knew when the next war would break out. However, there was one thing Luo Jianqing couldn't understand. The demons were skilled at concealing their presence, allowing them to remain hidden in the Thirty-Six States for centuries, rarely being discovered. Humans, however, weren't so adept at this. How did they manage to hide in the demon realm?
After Xuan Lingzi and Fairy Liu Yu exchanged a few words, the latter decided to redouble her investigation and make sure to find all the demons in the area. After Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi left, Luo Jianqing finally couldn't help but ask about his confusion.
Xuan Lingzi looked at his disciple and said, "Jianqing, you are not very good at alchemy."
Luo Jianqing couldn't deny it, and said calmly: "I have only been refining pills for a few years."
Xuan Lingzi said helplessly, "Well, it was my fault. You've only been refining pills for twenty years." Without dwelling on the topic, Xuan Lingzi explained, "In order to insert personnel into the demon realm, one hundred and fifty years ago, your uncle Yuqingzi and I, along with the Demon Lord Mo Qianqiu and the Grand Elder of the Feihua Sect, worked together to refine a medicinal pill. It's only a seventh-grade pill, but it has a very unique effect."
Luo Jianqing immediately understood: "Can you conceal your aura?"
Xuan Lingzi lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, "No."
Luo Jianqing asked in surprise: "What is that?"
The two walked toward the courtyard where they would soon live. Xuan Lingzi remained silent for a long time, so Luo Jianqing didn't ask. After they passed through the courtyard where the water gurgled, Xuan Lingzi's cold voice seemed to echo from the horizon, reaching Luo Jianqing's ears through the curtain of water: "That elixir is called... the Demon-Transforming Pill."
Luo Jianqing suddenly stopped.
The demon race excels at concealing their presence, allowing them to lurk for centuries in the Thirty-Six States, rarely being detected by humans. But what about humans? Hiding their presence from the demon race is a very difficult task. Without the cultivation of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it is absolutely impossible. Furthermore, any demon beast of the same realm or above can detect a human cultivator.
In this world today, even if Mo Qianqiu went to the demon realm, there was a possibility that his whereabouts would be discovered by the four demon lords. Only Xuan Lingzi could hide his aura.
So, a hundred years ago, in order to insert personnel into the demon realm, Xuan Lingzi and his four companions refined an ancient recipe to create a seventh-grade elixir and distributed it to 361 cultivators. Among these cultivators, the lowest level was the Golden Core Stage, while the highest was an elder from Mount Taihua, already at the late stage of the Tribulation Crossing stage.
At that time, Luo Jianqing had not yet been born, but listening to Xuan Lingzi's calm voice, he could imagine such a scene.
A single demon-transforming pill pierced his intestines and stomach, severing his meridians. Every last drop of blood drained from his body, disrupting his flesh, blood, and bones. The pill then rammed into the cultivator's all-important Dantian, his primordial spirit. Ultimately, his body was transformed into a physical form, his spiritual energy transformed into demonic power.
