After the harvest, a pop-up prompt appeared in front of him as he had expected it would: “Thanks to the host’s meticulous care of the medicine field and his tireless efforts, the results are remarkable. [Little Farmer] has been upgraded to [Little Spiritual Farmer].”
Upon seeing this popup message, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. He quickly checked the effect of the Little Spiritual Farmer title.
“[Little Spiritual Farmer]: Quality +20%, pest resistance +50%, yield +20% (long-term beneficial spell usage required) absorption speed +20%.”
After seeing the new effects, a smile broke across his face. It was just as he had expected.
According to his previous speculation, the new effect of the next stage of the farmer title should be the ability to speed up maturation, and this increased absorption speed probably referred to nutrient absorption.
The number of spells that the Spirit Grass could release before had a limit.
Even with the help of the Warm Sun Growth Technique and Spring Nourishing Technique to increase absorption, there was a limit to how much nourishment the Spirit Grass could absorb—in other words, how much water it could take in.
But now, with the increase in absorption speed, it meant that he could water the Spirit Grass more, causing it to mature faster.
Lin Yi brought the harvested Spirit Grass to the Pill Hall. Although he had harvested it one or two months earlier than usual, with the help of the title, its quality also reached the standard, earning him over 9,000 Spirit Stones.
Elder Brother Wu Tian Zhang from the Pill Hall remained at the Complete
Ninth Stage of Qi Refining without being able to break through to Foundation Establishment. It seemed that he was likely neglecting his cultivation due to alchemy.
Alchemy was indeed extremely difficult. Even with the help of the title panel, he had only managed to reach the Great Achievement Level after several years.
“Junior Brother Lin, I wish you a successful journey in the Dan God Secret Realm and a triumphant return,” Wu Tian Zhang wished him with a fist and palm salute when they parted, harboring complex emotions.
When Lin Yi first entered the sect, he was only at the Qi Refining Level Four. Wu Tian Zhang was the one who tested him and assigned him his medicine field. Now, their cultivation levels were only one stage apart.
If Junior Brother Lin could return safely from the Secret Realm, he might break through to Foundation Establishment in just a few years.
If he were luckier and managed to obtain some opportunities from the Secret Realm, contributing to the Golden Sword Peak and Liu Yun Sect, he might be accepted as the direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren.
By that time, he, a disciple at the Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining, might have to call Lin Yi ‘Uncle Master.’
“Elder Brother Wu, I also wish you success in breaking through to Foundation Establishment,” Lin Yi returned the salute, then left Golden Sword Peak on his Flying Boat and headed for the Outer Sect.
He arrived at Old Huang’s tomb. Half a year had passed since then, and the grass around the tombstone had flourished.
After all, the person buried inside was a cultivator who had been absorbing nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation. When they died, their bodies would also supply nutrients to the surrounding world.
He took out a jar of wine, poured it on the tombstone, then took a sip, “Old Huang, I’m about to enter the Dan God Secret Realm. Back in the days when I was a Spirit Farmer in the Outer Sect, this Secret Realm was something I dared not aspire to. But now, I’m actually going to enter it.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fulfill the promise I made to you. I’m going to take some soil from your grave now. When I break through Foundation Establishment, I’ll definitely carry you up into the sky.”
With that, Lin Yi took out a bag and filled it with some soil from the grave. Even when he was certain there was no one around, he wouldn’t use his flying sword here.
After finishing the jar of wine there, he turned and left, heading to the Outer Sect Sinong Hall to visit Big Black and Little Black.
After Old Huang’s death, the two large hounds stayed at the Sinong Hall as protectors. They had a proper status now, and the people of the hall treated them very well, so he didn’t need to worry about them.
Back at his Cave Mansion on Jin Qiao Peak, Lin Yi didn’t cultivate or practice alchemy, instead spending his time playing with Zhi Ling.
Entering the Secret Realm, he couldn’t bring his spiritual pet. So Zhi Ling couldn’t accompany him. He had previously planned to leave Zhi Ling in the care of Zhou Yun Feng, the elder brother of the Golden Sword Lineage, who would take care of her carefully.
However, during his communication with Zhi Ling, the little guy insisted on staying in the Cave Mansion, and Lin Yi agreed. Before he left, he would activate the mansion’s array so Zhi Ling could cultivate in peace.
According to the information he had gathered, whenever the Dan God Secret Realm was opened, it lasted for only a month, after which everyone inside would be forcibly teleported out of the realm.
Even though the entire Dan God Secret Realm was opened this time, the countdown shown in the Secret Realm Manual was still one month. This suggested that time was of the essence.
If his goal was the Alchemy Room and the Cave Mansion, then he couldn’t afford to waste too much time in the peripheral areas. He would have to take risks and get to the Alchemy Room and Cave Mansion as soon as possible.
A day before the opening of the Dan God Secret Realm, Gold Sword Zen Ren called on all disciples to gather at Golden Sword Peak. They were probably about to leave and wait at the entrance of the Dan God Secret Realm.
“Zhi Ling, practice hard in your Cave Mansion. Run if you encounter any danger, understand?” Lin Yi gently tapped Zhi Ling on the head and advised him with a smile.
Given the strict discipline of the Golden Sword lineage, it was unlikely anyone would intrude upon his Cave Mansion.
Zhi Ling nodded heavily, its paw clenched into a fist, swinging at Lin Yi a couple of times as if trying to cheer him on.
Lin Yi left a Storage Bag with Zhi Ling, filled with Spirit Stones and pills. After its Bloodline Awakening, Zhi Ling was able to sense spiritual energy and incorporate it into its body, thereby having the spiritual power to open the Storage Bag.
After bidding farewell to Zhi Ling, Lin Yi activated the defensive array of his Cave Mansion and left Jin Qiao Peak.
By the time he arrived at Golden Sword Peak on his Flying Boat, the square was already filled with people. As usual, he walked towards the back corner.
Zhou Yun Feng also noticed Lin Yi’s figure. The young one was so unassuming that he almost went unnoticed passing by him.
With a shake of his head and a chuckle, he called out, “Lin Yi, today is your departure day. Where are you going? Stand behind me.”
Lin Yi coughed lightly and hurriedly stood behind Zhou Yun Feng. One by one, the other four disciples also arrived. They exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
After all, they were all disciples of the Golden Sword lineage. If they had the opportunity to meet in the Secret Realm, they certainly would work together.
After a while, Gold Sword Zen Ren appeared in a radiant golden light. Everyone saluted him at the same time, “Greetings to Zen Ren of Golden Sword.”
Gold Sword Zen Ren gently waved his hand, “Stand up. Dan God Secret Realm will open in one day. Today is the day we depart. Our Golden Sword Lineage will have five disciples venturing into the Secret Realm…”
Then, under Gold Sword Zen Ren’s magical force, Lin Yi and the other four slowly ascended into mid-air for a farewell meeting with all disciples of the Golden Sword lineage.
After a simple farewell ceremony, Gold Sword Zen Ren rode on his Flying
Sword, leading Lin Yi and the other four towards the Outer Sect of Liu Yun Sect.
Upon arriving at the Outer Sect, Gold Sword Zen Ren waited for a while until all the Real people from the other peaks of the Golden Core lineage arrived.
This time, Liu Yun Sect received a total of fifteen spots. Five of them went to Golden Sword Peak, leaving ten for the remaining four peaks. The distribution was 4, 3, 2, 1, and the last spot went to Wine Sword Peak.
The other three peaks were Divine Fire Peak, Green Jade Peak, and Jade Illusion Peak. It seemed that Jade Illusion Peak didn’t send any disciples the last time the Dan God Secret Realm was opened. This time, it must have sent its most outstanding disciples.
Out of the Eleven Peaks of Golden Pill, only five were given the chance to enter, and Golden Sword Peak had always been the first. Despite their grievances, the other peaks could only accept it.
After all, strength was highly regarded in the Cultivation World. The stronger one’s power, the more resources they obtained.
If they lacked the strength, Liu Yun Sect could not possibly have achieved first place in the fight for spots in the Secret Realm and received the most spots.
Apart from Green Jade Zen Ren and Wine Sword Zen Ren, this was the first time Lin Yi had encountered the Golden Pill Zen Ren from other peaks.
The Golden Pill Zen Ren from Divine Fire Peak was a sturdy middle-aged cultivator with a full-faced beard. Even from such a distance, one could feel the intense heat emanating from him. He was commanding a Spirit Beast Lion that emitted flames, looking very powerful and imposing..
