第两千二百一十一章 你可想进阶分神期

"Could it be... that the blood is from a Qilin?"

Lin Xuan's murmured words reached his ears, and his eyes lit up with intense excitement. If what he suspected was true, its value would be beyond description.

The Qilin was one of the legendary divine beasts. Even among true spirits, there were only a few powerful ones like the Qilin—though it might fall short in comparison to True Dragons and colorful phoenixes, it was undoubtedly among the top ranks.

Qilin's true blood, if it contained the essence power of Xi, would be invaluable to him. Of course, this was just speculation. Although the possibility seemed high, he couldn't be one hundred percent certain that the blood belonged to the Qilin.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and tried to suppress his excitement. He then lowered his head and began searching through the pouch on his waist.

With enough space in the pouch, Lin Xuan had stored various treasures and important texts within it. After much searching, which took him about half an hour, he finally found what he was looking for.

The process of refining true spirit blood was complex and tedious. Without realizing it, several decades passed as Lin Xuan worked diligently in his cave.

Spring came and went, with flowers blooming and wilting again. Lin Xuan continued to practice in the Clear Spirit Mist Sea, and as time passed, the Cloud Conceal Sect returned to its usual silence. His story was still whispered about within the sect, but it had lost some of its luster compared to when he first entered.

However, the Golden Core Peak disciples were now proud. Even if Lin Xuan didn't emerge from his seclusion, no one dared to look down on them anymore. Protected by his influence, they revered him as a deity.

It was an ordinary morning, with the sun just rising and dispelling the mist in the mountains. Early birds flew around the trees, searching for insects to eat. Suddenly, a streak of light descended from the sky. It wasn't dazzling but carried a sense of nobility.

As it danced through the Cloud Conceal Sect's main headquarters, even the barriers and patrolling disciples seemed to be deafened by its presence, none noticing its arrival.

The light circled around the Golden Core Peak before landing outside the Clear Spirit Mist Sea.

The silver glow faded, revealing a beautiful young woman.

She appeared no more than twenty years old, with a delicate and elegant face. Her most striking features were her pointed ears and brilliant silver eyes.

This was the Senior Elder of the Cloud Conceal Sect, a mid-stage Divination Realm cultivator known as Silver Eye Fairy to her peers.

Without hesitation, she waved her hand, and a beam of fire shot out towards Lin Xuan's cave.

Lin Xuan's expression changed as he opened his eyes. The fire circled above him, and his right hand extended, seemingly with its own will, to catch it.

"Who...?"

Lin Xuan's face turned pale as soon as he delved into his spirit perception. Why had the Silver Eye Fairy come here?

As a Divination Realm cultivator, she usually stayed out of worldly matters. What significant event could have brought her here?

Despite his confusion, Lin Xuan stood up. Regardless of what was on his mind, he couldn't refuse the Senior Elder's visit. He bowed and invited her to sit.

"Master Uncle, I am honored by your presence," Lin Xuan said with a bow. "Please, take a seat."

Silver Eye Fairy did not hesitate but moved gracefully into the cave.

Lin Xuan followed behind.

After returning to his cave, they took their seats. Since he had no disciples around, Lin Xuan served them wine and fruit.

"Master Uncle, what brings you here?" Lin Xuan asked directly.

"Do you wish to advance to the Divination Realm?"

"What?!"

Lin Xuan was taken aback by this shocking statement. He couldn't believe his ears.

Despite the suddenness of her question, he knew it wasn't without reason. There must be a purpose behind it.

Unfortunately, with so little information, Lin Xuan could not gather any useful clues.

"Master Uncle, what do you mean?" Lin Xuan asked, showing his surprise: "Who wouldn't want to advance to the Divination Realm?"

"Yes, that's true," she replied. "But let me ask again, do you have a Divination Pill?"

Lin Xuan fell silent. He had already guessed her intentions.

Although he was only at the Profound Core Realm mid-stage, it was still far from reaching the Divination Realm for most cultivators. However, Lin Xuan's cautious nature meant he had been collecting items related to the Divination Realm long ago.

He knew of the Divination Pill—said to be necessary for advancing from the Profound Core to the Divination Realm. Without such a pill, even geniuses couldn't break through their barriers.

After learning this, Lin Xuan wasn't overly concerned since he had Blue Star Sea as a backup. While rare, collecting some waste pills shouldn't be too difficult.

But his hopes were dashed when he found no leads in the markets or auctions. It took him great effort to discover that Divination Pills were completely different from other spirit pills—once wasted, they turned into dust and could ignite spontaneously if exposed to air.

In short, there were no waste Divination Pills.

Lin Xuan was disappointed. Without even a waste pill, how could he refine it?

As for the auctions, after thorough inquiries, Lin Xuan gave up. In Tian Shuang Province, there had never been any reports of Divination Pill auctions.

It was truly a case of having something but no place to buy it. No matter how many materials and crystals you had, there were none available.

But Lin Xuan wasn't too concerned. After all, he was now the Golden Core Peak head of Cloud Conceal Sect and later became the first Profound Core cultivator in the sect.

He reasoned that even if the Divination Pill was rare, a prestigious sect like Cloud Conceal would have some on hand.

"Master Uncle, do you have any task for me?" Lin Xuan said. "I will do anything to fulfill your request."

"I misunderstood you, Lin junior disciple," she replied. "You think I'm here to exchange contributions for treasures? If that were the case, it would be perfect. Unfortunately, Divination Pills are a violation of nature, and even our sect has none."

"What? Not even in the sect? How can one obtain a Divination Pill?" Lin Xuan was shocked.
