Chapter 220: Chapter 215: Cleansing Spirit Liquid_2
“Unless…”
“This treasure isn’t a Magical Treasure, Elixir Medicine, or Cultivation Technique, but rather something special that allows many people to benefit at the same time.”
“Only in this way can they get their turn with this ‘treasure’.”
Thinking of this, Lin Jing spoke:
“Brother Zhang, I would like to hear more…”
Zhang Yuan nodded and continued:
“Because this ‘treasure’ is very likely to be the ‘Cleansing Spirit Liquid’…”
“Cleansing Spirit Liquid!” Lin Jing was startled.
Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
As the name implies, it’s a liquid that can cleanse the impurities of the Spiritual Root; consuming it can cleanse the Spiritual Root, making it purer and thus slightly increasing the speed of cultivation.
And moreover…
Consuming Cleansing Spirit Liquid also carries a slight chance of improving one’s own Spiritual Root potential.
However, this chance is extremely low.
While Cleansing Spirit Liquid is indeed very rare, there have been quite a few people throughout history who have consumed it.
But of all those people who consumed it…
Historical records show that only two people have managed to improve their Spiritual Root potential through Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
That illustrates just how low the chance is…
Although Cleansing Spirit Liquid isn’t as heaven-defying as the Reversal Fruit, it’s still an incredibly rare treasure.
And it’s extremely uncommon, appearing only in places where the Spiritual Energy is exceptionally rich and due to serendipitous circumstances.
Many people might never see it in their lifetime.
It’s no wonder that the Li Family entered the Secret Realm as a clan; it turns out they discovered Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
Because…
This Cleansing Spirit Liquid is formed when various environmental factors come together.
And after a long period of accumulation, that Cleansing Spirit Liquid gathers to form a Cleansing Spirit Pool.
Once a Cleansing Spirit Pool is formed, it cannot be moved.
Because of the special nature of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid, once it leaves this environment, it will quickly lose its effect.
And once the Cleansing Spirit Liquid leaves the pool…
It will instantly vaporize, turning into Spiritual Energy and dissipating into the heavens and earth.
Unless one has a Spatial Dao Treasure.
Otherwise, no one can take away the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
But Spatial Dao Treasures are owned by those who have undergone Tribulation or reached the Mahayana Realm.
In the three major sects of the southern dark realm, the highest cultivation level Lin Jing currently knows of is at the Nascent Soul Stage.
They definitely cannot possess a Spatial Dao Treasure.
Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Jing, nodded, and said:
“Yes, it’s the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.”
“If there’s enough Cleansing Spirit Liquid in the pool, we might actually have a chance to get a drop or two…”
“Even if we can’t…”
“We might be able to cultivate near the Cleansing Spirit Pool for a while.”
“After all…”
“Places that can condense Cleansing Spirit Liquid definitely have something special about their Spiritual Energy, and cultivating there, we might also reap many benefits…”
Lin Jing nodded after listening.
What Zhang Yuan said made sense.
Afterwards…
Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then said:
“Now that the three major sects are all here, even if there is Cleansing Spirit Liquid, I’m afraid it will be for the people of the three major sects to enjoy.”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said:
“That’s why I said we only have a chance to get one or two drops of Cleansing Spirit Liquid.”
“Now that the three major sects are here…”
“If Cleansing Spirit Liquid appears, it’s certain that the members of the three major sects will have priority.”
Indeed…
Although their family backgrounds are reasonable,
Compared with the three major sects, they are like minor witches facing great sorcerers.
If the three major sects were to monopolize it, the families within Nanshan Immortal City, even with grievances, could only hold them in.
If it comes to relationships with the three major sects,
Among those present, aside from Huang Qingling,
The rest had little to do with the three major sects.
Although Yuebaolou is one of the three major sects and a property of Yiyun Pavilion, in reality, Yuebaolou is merely like a subordinate power used by Yiyun Pavilion to earn Spirit Stones.
It doesn’t have much contact with Yiyun Pavilion on a regular basis.
Like now, although Yiyun Pavilion has its own base in the inner city of Nanshan, and several Elders are there,
Even…
The always mysterious Pavilion Master of Yiyun occasionally spends time here.
But.
They never come to manage any affairs of Yuebaolou.
Now Yuebaolou is still managed by Elder Bai,
As for the previous steward Zheng, after Elder Bai returned, he had been transferred away again.
If the three major sects were to evenly split the Cleansing Spirit Liquid, then Elder Bai and Elder Yu would definitely get some without saying,
Because…
They are already people of Yiyun Pavilion.
And as a relative of Elder Bai, Huang Qingling might also have a chance to get some Cleansing Spirit Liquid,
But for the others in Yuebaolou, it’s not certain.
“Don’t overthink it…”
At this moment, Li Tangyu spoke up.
“Right now, the people from the three major sects are still searching for traces of the demon cultivator within the secret realm.”
“Even without the threat of demon cultivators, I’m afraid that the Cleansing Spirit Pool won’t be opened to us for the time being…”
Upon hearing this, several people nodded in agreement.
“Indeed…”
“It’s not that simple…”
Just then, a knock came from the door.
“Young Master Zhang, your dishes are ready.”
Following that, the door opened, and several servants walked in, arranging the beautifully prepared dishes on the table.
“Everyone, please enjoy your meal!”
After the servants finished speaking, they left with their group.
“Everyone, let’s start…”
As Zhang Yuan’s voice trailed off, everyone began to eat…
After eating for a while.
Li Qingqing looked towards Ning Yue and asked:
“Sister Ning…”
“Since you’ve returned, I haven’t had the chance to ask you. How did the negotiation with the Elixir Valley Heir at the black market go yesterday?”
Besides Zhang Yuan…
Everyone else was also aware of Ning Yue’s situation and turned their heads curiously towards her.
Even Zhang Yuan, upon hearing about the Elixir Valley Heir, was filled with curiosity and turned to look at Ning Yue.
“We have already handed over the seed to the Elixir Valley Heir, and he has taken it back for inspection by the seniors of the Elixir Valley.”
“As for the outcome, we’ll have to wait until we meet again in three days.”
Huang Qingling then spoke up:
“If the Elixir Valley is involved, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”
Ning Yue shook her head and said:
“I’m not sure, we’ll just have to wait and see in three days.”
“That’s all we can do for now…” Li Tangyu said.
The group carried on their conversation one phrase at a time, with Zhang Yuan looking utterly confused.
Seeing this, Li Tangyu quickly explained to Zhang Yuan the matter between the Ning Family and the Yun Family…
After understanding the full story, Zhang Yuan then said:
“It’s really hard to say with this matter…”
“However, since the Elixir Valley is capable of producing a large amount of Pure Elixirs, they must certainly have some experts who are proficient in cultivating Spirit Plants. Maybe there is indeed a way to resolve this issue.”
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Li Qingqing again asked:
“By the way, Sister Ning…”
“For this restoration of the fruit, what compensation did the Elixir Valley Heir ask from you?”
Ning Yue said:
“He hasn’t asked for any compensation yet…”
“He only said to let the senior from Elixir Valley look at it first, and after the senior proficient in Spirit Plant cultivation has seen it, he will decide.”
“However…”
“The old ancestor is already preparing the compensation.”
After hearing this, Li Tangyu thought for a moment, then gave his opinion:
“Since it’s a senior proficient in Spirit Plant cultivation, I think it’s better to give some rare Spirit Plants as compensation…”
Upon the conclusion of Li Tangyu’s words, Ning Yue immediately nodded in response:
“The old ancestor thinks the same, which is why he made a quick trip back to Linxian City. It’s for this very matter…”
“So that’s it. I was wondering why Elder Ning left in such a hurry…”
Li Tangyu said.
After finishing the conversation, they changed the topic and discussed a bit more.
Finally.
As the moon rose to the treetops, everyone saw the night was getting late and quickly ended the banquet.
Afterwards…
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling bid farewell to the group and headed towards the outer city.
Inside the inner city, where the lights were bright, it hadn’t felt like much.
Only upon entering the outer city, with the shops on both sides of the street closed and almost no pedestrians on the road, did the surroundings become very quiet…
The two walked along the way back.
Huang Qingling looked up at the moon and couldn’t help but exclaim:
“What a beautiful moon…”
Lin Jing looked up as well.
It was a full moon tonight.
It appeared slightly larger than usual, and upon that moon, there seemed to be the vague silhouette of an Immortal Palace.
It made one wonder whether this world had that beautiful legend or not.
“I suddenly feel…”
Lin Jing, whose thoughts were drifting, suddenly heard Huang Qingling’s voice near his ear.
He quickly came back to reality and turned to look at Huang Qingling.
“What…?”
At that moment…
Huang Qingling was still looking up at the moon, seemingly oblivious to Lin Jing’s words.
But…
Then her voice rose again.
“I feel…”
“That I don’t quite fit in with this world. It’s as if I was not born to be part of this world…”
