Moreover, could 38th place be the end? Can they expect even more?
Shi Xuan became famous in the outer regions because of his three battles in one day, making everyone aware of this newcomer who had defeated four Golden Core Peak cultivators in a row. However, Shi Xuan discovered a business opportunity here.
She discovered that there were a lot of people at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage in this outer realm arena. More than half of the top 100 cultivators on the Heavenly Pride Ranking were at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage, and only less than 20 people at the very top had successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.
The transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul is indeed a significant hurdle, fraught with danger. Most cultivators make thorough preparations before daring to attempt it, and the probability of success is not high. Therefore, the cultivation world uses the dividing line between Golden Core and Nascent Soul to distinguish between high-level and low-level cultivators.
However, Shi Xuan possessed the Nascent Soul Pill, which was a pill that could greatly increase the success rate of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.
Many people have the formula for the Nascent Soul Pill, but one of its ingredients, the Blue Glow Grass, is extremely rare, belonging to a spiritual plant that is practically extinct. Unfortunately, Shi Xuan obtained it in the Leopard Cave of the Azure Dragon Secret Realm and even transplanted it into Silver Frost.
In this way, the sixth-order pill of the Nascent Soul stage would be as plentiful as one could want, and it might even be a Nascent Soul pill with the Heavenly Dao Seal.
The day after Shi Xuan took on three opponents, an auction message appeared in the virtual hall trading area.
One top-grade Nascent Soul Pill, available for seven days only, highest bidder wins.
Just one sentence caused a huge uproar in the entire outer realm arena.
Isn't the Nascent Soul Pill a legendary, top-grade elixir? Who would actually possess one?! Is this news true or false? If he truly possesses a Nascent Soul Pill, why doesn't he use it himself? Could he be a prodigy who has already successfully formed his Nascent Soul?
The search area was quickly narrowed down to the top eighteen on the Prodigy Ranking. No one would believe that a Golden Core cultivator would put something like a Nascent Soul Pill up for sale.
However, after questioning the disciples at the top of their respective talent rankings, the sects discovered that none of the eighteen Nascent Soul cultivators matched, indicating that the ones selling the Nascent Soul Pills were not them at all.
At this moment, there were already hundreds of bidding comments under the Nascent Soul Pill in the trading area.
Individuals want it, and sects want it too.
All the Golden Core cultivators on the Prodigy Ranking desire this, as it signifies a high probability of them successfully forming their Nascent Soul stage. For sects, each additional Nascent Soul Pill is essentially equivalent to gaining another Nascent Soul cultivator—how could they not be tempted!
Shi Xuan looked at the bidding messages and smiled with satisfaction. The highest bid had exceeded 10,000 points. In that case, selling a Nascent Soul Pill every now and then would be a good idea. On the settlement day, she would definitely be able to get the rewards from the wealth ranking.
Seven days later, Shi Xuan led his best team out on a new mission, and returned on the sixth day.
When the group arrived at their lodging, Jiang Yiwei, the resident elder of the Lianfeng Sword Sect, was hurrying out.
When he saw Shi Xuan and the others return from outside, he paused for a moment and greeted them.
"Elder Jiang, where are you going?" Chang Qing asked with concern.
"Go and fetch the new disciple," Elder Jiang replied.
His words stunned the entire crowd.
Chen Qi stepped forward and asked curiously, "Are you a disciple from the Qian Yuan Continent? Isn't it said that the passage connecting this outer arena and the Qian Yuan Continent can only be opened once a year?"
Elder Jiang nodded and said, "I'll tell you when I get back. I'm going now."
Even before Elder Jiang returned, the other elders were discussing the matter, and they all overheard it.
It turns out that, for some unknown reason, the teleportation channel between the outer realms and the Qian Yuan Continent was opened, and it has been kept open all the time. This is very unusual, and it seems that something strange is about to happen.
Normally, disciples of various sects would not choose to act rashly during such extraordinary times, but for some reason, two disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect took this opportunity to come over, so Elder Jiang of the Lianfeng Sword Sect was the one who went to pick them up.
Shi Xuan frowned. Two disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect... She had a bad feeling. Could it be her second senior brother?
When she was about to come to the outer realm a few days ago, her second senior brother was stuck at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage and couldn't make it. Could it be that he took advantage of these days to advance to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage and then recklessly broke into the unknown teleportation array?
As it turns out, it's quite possible for something to actually happen when someone keeps talking about it.
As dusk approached, Elder Jiang brought back two people.
The leader was tall and slender. Before he even got close, he called out from afar, "Junior Sister, I'm here!"
Shi Xuan's face darkened. Who else could it be but her second senior brother who could give that familiar, enthusiastic shout!
Shi Xuan looked up and saw Lu Wenxing running towards him. Behind him was another cultivator, slightly overweight, who was none other than her fourth senior brother!
Lu Wenxing had already run up to Shi Xuan, as proud as a little peacock: "Junior Sister, how about it! In just one month, I've already advanced to the seventh level of the Golden Core stage! Sure enough, when you're motivated, your cultivation level increases exceptionally fast!"
So he lacked motivation year after year, but his junior sister went to the outer realms first and he finally had motivation.
Everyone in the six sects of Qian Yuan Western Region knows that Lin Daozi's disciples are all exceptionally talented, but none of them are serious about their studies.
Not to mention the unconscious Lu Shenzhi, Lu Wenxing spent his days fooling around, He Weiqing hid in his room carving wood all day, and Tang Nong wandered around selling her spiritual food. Only the last disciple Lin Daozi took in managed to save face for him. Otherwise, people would say that good talents had been ruined by Lin Daozi.
Shi Xuan had no choice but to step forward and reply, "Congratulations, Second Senior Brother. But it seems that Fourth Senior Brother advanced even faster than you. When I left, he was only at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage."
"Let's not talk about him anymore," Lu Wenxing immediately changed the subject when he heard Shi Xuan praising the fourth brother: "He went to a secret realm, but I'm different."
As they were talking, He Weiqing walked closer, blushing slightly with embarrassment: "Junior Sister."
The person has already arrived, so there's no point in saying anything about being reckless now.
Shi Xuan took a breath, took two steps to the side, and let the members of the best team meet her two new senior brothers and recognize each other.
"Alright, now our best team has twenty-one people."
After Shi Xuan finished speaking, the other members of the best team stepped forward to greet him.
In fact, most of them already knew each other during the Six Sects Grand Competition, so they didn't feel awkward meeting again. In particular, Lu Wenxing was very outgoing, and he greeted everyone warmly.
When he arrived at Shen Wuyang's place, he was extremely excited. He patted Shen Wuyang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, thank you so much for your white jade spirit boat last time! After Junior Sister modified it, it was truly dazzling! We were really proud to ride in that spirit boat!"
