Urban Invincible Overlord

Although there are now more than 2,700 people stationed in White Jade City, and factions like the Langya Wang Family, Poison Sect, and Qingtian Sect are settled around nearby peaks other than the main one, this number is still too small for such a large mountain range.

Furthermore, the current cultivators on Earth are solely focused on cultivation and not on enjoyment, so the accommodation on the mountains is quite rudimentary.

Fortunately, both Hai Mo and Yan Wei are cultivators, so even if they had to stay in the open without shelter, they could adapt, let alone having wooden houses to shield from wind and rain.

Under the guidance of Yun Zong, Hai Mo and Yan Wei arrived at the wooden building area where the seven members of Lingxiao Sect resided.

Upon learning about the arrival of Hai Mo and Yan Wei, the brothers came out to meet them.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei were well aware of the situation of the group on Earth, and showed no disdain. Hai Mo immediately said, "When Junior Brother Yan Wei and I came over, the Sect Master personally instructed us to tell you that you have made a great contribution to the sect this time. Everyone in the sect's high level is aware of what you did on Earth, and they understand and believe that you acted with discretion, bearing humiliation for the sect's benefit, while also protecting yourselves. You are many times better than those reckless people from the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect who blindly show loyalty and lose their lives for nothing."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuya, Li Yue, Du Hui, Gan Qian, Lu Chen, Linglong, and Yun Zong all had tears in their eyes.

They had always felt ashamed of what happened on Earth, believing they had betrayed the sect and tarnished the name of Lingxiao Sect, being sinners of the sect.

Now having received recognition from the Sect Master and the senior officials, acknowledging their sacrifices for the sect's interest, they were naturally very pleased and moved.

This hurdle had finally been overcome.

Although this matter might have caused some displeasure within the high-ranking officials' hearts, at least on the surface it was resolved. Most importantly, the merits of facilitating cooperation between the sect and Earth had been recognized by the Sect Master and senior officials, and that was enough.

Ye Wuya and the others expressed their deep gratitude towards the sect, showing emotion and excitement.

Afterwards, everyone took Hai Mo and Yan Wei into one of the wooden buildings, where the brothers gathered and talked freely throughout the night.

On the topic of the divine medicine, Hai Mo and Yan Wei were very curious, so they inquired a lot about it.

Upon learning that the genetic liquid medicine could enhance the grade of spirit roots, and even allow ordinary people without a spirit root to gain one, Hai Mo and Yan Wei were stunned on the spot.

"No way? There's such a divine medicine?"

"How is it possible? This Earth just experienced the revival of spiritual energy, how could such a divine medicine be created here?"

Seeing the expressions of the two, Ye Wuya and the others had an expression that seemed to say "as expected".

When they first learned about the magical effects of the genetic liquid medicine, they were even more shocked than the two.

Linglong pointed at Gan Qian and said, "Why not? After Senior Brother Gan Qian took the genetic liquid medicine, his spirit root changed. You can see for yourselves if you don't believe it."

"The Innate Eye just happens to be with me, you two can see for yourselves." Ye Wuya said, taking out the Innate Eye and handing it to the two of them.

Hai Mo immediately took it and activated the Innate Eye with mana to inspect Gan Qian.

"Single Spiritual Root?"

Yan Wei hurriedly said, "Let me see."

After seeing through the Innate Eye that Gan Qian indeed had a single spirit root qualification, Yan Wei also exclaimed.

Hai Mo snatched the Innate Eye back again, carefully observing Gan Qian.

Gan Qian, being probed repeatedly by the two, didn't get upset, but instead displayed a bright smile.

Hai Mo and Yan Wei confirmed several times, and once they were sure there was no mistake, both of them gasped.

A cultivator with a single spirit root talent would cause quite a stir in the sect upon entry, being known by every sect as a notable individual.

In their memory, when Gan Qian and the others were tested for their spirit roots upon entering the sect, none of them had the single spirit root talent.

At least Gan Qian didn't.

But now, Gan Qian had become someone with a single spirit root talent.

Though the cultivation world is filled with unexplained phenomena, spirit root talent is a born trait, unchangeable throughout life.

Even those who cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Realm, if they have dual spirit roots, they will remain dual spirit roots at the Divinity Transformation, with no change in spirit root.

But now, Gan Qian's spirit root had changed.

The age-old rule in the cultivation world that spirit root grades were unchangeable had been broken.

The two finally understood why Ye Wuya and others were willing to bow and submit to Yang Fei, throwing away the dignity of Lingxiao Sect, even helping Yang Fei against the Flame Moon Sect, Great Dao Sect, and the three major cultivation families, making enemies for Lingxiao Sect, yet the Sect Master and seniors didn't blame them, instead claiming they had contributed to the sect.

Such divine medicine, if controlled by the Lingxiao Sect, would undoubtedly bring immense wealth to the sect, and might even allow Lingxiao Sect to become a one-star sect in the future.

"Does this divine medicine truly allow someone with no spirit root to gain one?" Yan Wei asked, trying to calm himself.

Everyone in Lingxiao Sect nodded.

That martial artist from the Military Department, upon first measuring his spirit root at Yunwu Mountain's base, indeed showed no spirit root.

However, after the person consumed the genetic liquid medicine, he developed a spirit root, which was a fact.

After hearing this, Hai Mo and Yan Wei took a deep breath again.

Divine Medicine!

A true divine medicine.

Such a treasure, once spread in the cultivation world, would surely cause a massive sensation and would become a divine medicine that all cultivators desired.

And possessing the secret of its refinement would be equivalent to holding a massive fortune.

Of course, the hidden risks were also apparent.

But with the strength and foundation of Lingxiao Sect, added to their connections with several one-star sects, as long as the secret of this divine medicine's refinement was not leaked, the sect could secure this fortune.

Since ancient times, opportunity and risk have always coexisted.

Cultivators, by nature, go against the heavens, and facing such an opportunity to elevate the sect to a one-star level, the sect's leaders would surely not let it slip by.

Hai Mo took a deep breath and said, "No wonder my father kept this from me; the fewer people know about such a big deal, the better."

Yan Wei's expression turned serious, nodding, "Indeed, we must keep this matter secret. The longer we can keep other cultivation forces from knowing about the divine medicine, the better it is for Lingxiao Sect."

Hai Mo nodded along, saying, "Yes, as long as Lingxiao Sect is given some time, the sect will surely cultivate more single spirit root or even heavenly spirit root cultivators, and after generations of effort, the sect's overall strength will certainly improve significantly, becoming a one-star sect is just around the corner."

Yan Wei laughed, "If the spirit root talents of several Nascent Soul stage experts can also be enhanced, accelerating their cultivation speed, within a century our Lingxiao Sect could become the foremost among the three major two-star sects in the Southern Domain."

Light shone brightly in everyone's eyes as excitement filled them.

As disciples of Lingxiao Sect, they seemed to see the rise of the sect, and a sense of pride emerged naturally.

The next morning, Yang Fei, Qin Yanyang, and others brought over 720,000 top-grade spirit stones.

After Hai Mo and Yan Wei confirmed the count, they used several storage bags to collect these spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, the Sect Master said he's not sure if you still have any of that divine medicine now, but if you do, could you let us take some back?" Yan Wei asked.

Yang Fei smiled upon hearing this and said, "There's still some left, but your Sect Master seems to have forgotten a very important matter."

Hai Mo and Yan Wei were slightly startled, looking at him in confusion.
