Chapter 52
52 Thank You for Benefiting Me!
“Keep it. This bottle of elixirs can help you disguise your cultivation base as an early-stage Qi Condensation stage cultivator. This is the middle stage, and this is the late stage. Each bottle contains 20 elixirs, and each elixir can help you disguise your cultivation base for seven days. You can tell me anytime if you want to disguise yourself as a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. I’ll refine elixirs for you.”
Fang Jinyu placed the three jade bottles on the table and briefly introduced each bottle.
The little girl was stunned for a moment and asked, “There’s such a magical elixir?” She looked at Fang Jinyu in confusion because she had never heard of such an elixir.
“Didn’t I already refine it for you?” Fang Jinyu rolled his eyes.
“I mean, why didn’t our sect sell it before?”
Fang Jinyu explained, “It’s because it’s something I’ve recently figured out.” The elixirs were, of course, weakened versions of the Six Alloy Elixir. After understanding the secret of the Six Alloy Elixir, he could develop the corresponding elixirs according to his needs even without the prescription.
“How did you figure it out?”
“I once wanted to try and see if I could get an elixir that could disguise me as a Core Formation stage cultivator.” Fang Jinyu replied half-truthfully, but he glanced at the little girl as he spoke.
“You succeeded?” The little girl was shocked and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
“I have a soundproof restrictive enchantment on my immortal estate. Moreover…” Fang Jinyu was pleased with the little girl’s self-awareness, but he couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her. He said, “I’m the only Foundation Establishment stage on Mount Xiaohe!”
Although Mount Xiaohe had richer spiritual energy than that of Yuan City, it was still far inferior to the other peaks.
The disciples who were arranged to stay at Mount Xiaohe had no choice but to stay here when they were in the Qi Condensation stage. However, once they successfully broke through the Foundation Establishment stage, they would immediately move to peaks with richer spiritual energy.
The pace of the cultivator’s cultivation was greatly influenced by the local spiritual energy’s density.
For example, a cultivator with three-elemental spiritual roots who could use elixirs to increase his inner energy a few times a year on Mount Xiaohe would need nearly 20 years to become a late-stage Qi Condensation stage cultivator, which is a cultivator who ranks 7 in the Qi Condensation stage.
However, once he moved to a peak with rich spiritual energy like Mount Goddess, he could break through rank 7 in the Qi Condensation stage in around 12 years by using the same elixirs.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would only gain more since it could have a significant impact on the Qi Condensation stage cultivators!
If Fang Jinyu hadn’t exploded his alchemy furnace so many times, he might still be cultivating on Mount Lingyao.
Hence, how much commission did the person in charge of buying the alchemy furnace at Mount Lingyao get?
“Then, can you give me one?” The little girl’s eyes were full of hope as she blinked at Fang Jinyu.
Fang Jinyu poured himself a glass of water and found a place to sit down, pretending not to have heard her.
The water was a spiritual spring exclusively available in the Tianling Sect. It flowed from underground spiritual veins and was rich in spiritual energy. It was a spring used for alchemy, but every alchemist would receive a limited amount. It was just that Fang Jinyu had a high success rate in refining elixirs, so he had a lot of it left.
If it were any other alchemist, the spiritual spring water would not even be enough.
Fang Jinyu’s attitude displeased the little girl, but she didn’t say anything. She walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his neck, and shook him gently. She said, “Can you give me one please…”
Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but be stunned by her clingy actions and asked, “Where did you learn this from?”
“I saw Su Yier doing this with a man earlier on. The man was initially mad because of her wedding, but after she did it, he was no longer angry.”
“How did you see it? You weren’t discovered, were you?” Fang Jinyu was shocked.
“I was counting the stars at the time. At first, there was no one around. They came over by themselves.” The little girl pouted. As she said it, her black eyes suddenly turned, and she continued, “Give me one, no, three, of that elixir of yours, and I’ll teach you how to hide from Core Formation stage cultivators!”
Meanwhile, the little girl revealed a proud expression and said, “I came up with this on my own. I’m the only one who knows!”
“How can you be sure that you won’t be discovered by Core Formation stage cultivators?” Fang Jinyu was persuaded, and he started to believe the little girl because of his fortune-telling technique.
“The man who was secretly dating Su Yier is a Core Formation stage cultivator! However, I feel that there’s something strange about that man. His aura differs slightly from Su Yier’s fiancé’s aura.” The little girl frowned slightly and looked like she was confused by the situation.
It was the Lich King!
Fang Jinyu’s eyes flickered. He didn’t expect the Lich King to arrive so early and even sneak into the Tianling Sect. He could not help but be impressed by the fact that the Lich King was mentioned in the book as a Core Formation stage cultivator who could compete with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Although the Lich King was only a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Core Formation stage, he was powerful enough to fight with Grandmasters who ranked 1 or 2 in the Nascent Soul stage even without using his seventh magic treasure.
The Lich King could even kill a Grandmaster who ranked 1 or 2 in the Nascent Soul stage if he used it!
If that was the case, the little girl’s hiding method couldn’t be as simple as being able to hide from a Core Formation stage cultivator…
“I’ll give you five.”
Fang Jinyu took out a jade bottle. The bottle held the remaining elixirs that he had refined from the furnace in the Seven Treasures Immortal City.
“Why are you suddenly becoming so generous? Then I’ll teach you a way to open up the mystery realm as compensation.” The little girl’s eyes curved, and she was instantly overjoyed.
“What’s that?” Fang Jinyu was surprised because he had never heard of it.
However, it didn’t matter.
It was because his fortune-telling technique had reacted once again.
“This is also something I suddenly figured out!” The little girl raised her chin proudly, then happily told Fang Jinyu how to open up the mystery realm.
After Fang Jinyu heard it, he fell into a daze.
It was because the so-called method of opening up the mystery realm was to open up the secret realms. However, it reduced the size of the realm and required an external object as support.
“However, I will have a small portable space if I can open it up.” Fang Jinyu couldn’t help but feel excited because if he could create such a “mystery realm,” he could hide from a Core Formation stage cultivator’s divine sense!
Meanwhile, the little girl said, “Not just Core Formation stage cultivators… I think it can hide from Nascent Soul stage cultivators too, but I haven’t tried it…”
Fang Jinyu raised his eyebrow and asked, “Are you sure?”
The jade bottles that Fang Jinyu took out vanished when the young girl waved her hand.
There were no magical power fluctuations, nor were there any strange lights. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.
The little girl casually said, “It’s because after I opened up the mystery realm, I haven’t encountered any Nascent Soul stage cultivators!”
Fang Jinyu was speechless.
What a terrifying little girl!
