第两千二百一十二章 古魔界与分神丹

"Although the Divided Spirit Pills are hard to come by, there are still two ways to obtain them," said the silver-eyed maiden with a slight smile, her voice pleasant as it entered Lin Xuan's ears.

"Please enlighten me." Lin Xuan's face showed signs of interest.

"The rarity of the Divided Spirit Pills lies in the fact that several main ingredients have extremely strict growing conditions. While I won't go into details about other realms for now, within our Dragon Peak Realm, only a few places produce them."

"Oh?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead as he listened. After a moment's thought, he said, "If there are places where these main ingredients are produced, but this sect cannot obtain them, it must be controlled by some powerful forces."

"Indeed," the silver-eyed maiden nodded, her face showing approval. "Your nephew is correct; those areas are indeed under the control of several superpowers."

"Superpowers?"

"Yes."

"The Thunder Palace, Valley of a Thousand Gorges, and within Dragon Peak Range."

"Dragon Peak Range? Could it be that Master Dragon's place of seclusion?" Lin Xuan was taken aback.

"Correct. It is where Master Dragon practices in solitude; outsiders dare not tread there," the silver-eyed maiden said with a bitter smile.

"And what about the Thunder Palace and Valley of a Thousand Gorges? Are they stronger than our sect?"

"You jest, my nephew. Although Cloud Concealment Sect's strength isn't weak, it's only relative to Tianshuang County. Compared to the Thunder Palace and Valley of a Thousand Gorges, we are on entirely different levels. Both major sects have powerful veterans guarding them."

"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan sighed but still looked puzzled. "But even so, can't we exchange some items for these Divided Spirit Pills from those powerful forces?"

"Theoretically, your nephew is correct, but practically speaking, it's not feasible at all."

"Why?" Lin Xuan's face showed great confusion.

"Firstly, the main ingredients are produced in limited quantities within the control of those three major powers. Moreover, the production of Divided Spirit Pills is extremely difficult with a low success rate. These major sects have many disciples and followers already, so they don't even have enough Divided Spirit Pills for their own use, let alone exchanging them."

Lin Xuan fell silent, as expected, it was exactly what he had anticipated.

To progress to the Divided Spirit Stage, this elixir is essential. However, a single pill may not be sufficient; two or three would be better, and if one's luck is bad, even eight pills might fail to break through the barrier.

Since these major powers couldn't even meet their own needs, they certainly wouldn't consider exchanging them for anything else.

Of course, there are always exceptions. If you really had an item of divine level, it might be possible to exchange Divided Spirit Pills.

But that was clearly not the case; it would be too much to ask.

After fully understanding everything from the silver-eyed maiden, Lin Xuan fell silent again. After a while, he spoke up once more: "Uncle, you mentioned two ways to obtain the Divided Spirit Pills. What is the other way?"

"The other method involves seeking out in the Ancient Demon Realm."

"What? The Ancient Demon Realm?" Lin Xuan was stunned. This outcome surprised him greatly; it was something he never would have imagined.

"Indeed," the silver-eyed maiden nodded. "The main ingredients for the Divided Spirit Pills are considered divine treasures in the Spirit Realm, but the environment in the Ancient Demon Realm is just right. Although they are also rare, the chances of finding them are much higher..."

The silver-eyed maiden continued to narrate, and Lin Xuan listened intently.

Over time, he finally understood the entire situation.

It turned out that the places where the main ingredients for Divided Spirit Pills were produced were controlled by three major powers. Although other cultivators in Dragon Peak Realm were extremely dissatisfied, they could do nothing; these three factions were too powerful. Trespassing into their territory to steal herbs was tantamount to suicide. If they tried exchanging items, the cost would be too high.

Thus, they had to find another path. By chance, they actually found one.

This happened millions of years ago during a great war between the Three Realms. The Spirit Realm's army was in high spirits and directly invaded the Ancient Demon Realm. Regardless of who won or lost, they were delighted to discover that the main ingredients for Divided Spirit Pills grew much more easily in the demon realm.

On this occasion, they returned with a full harvest.

However, although the Spirit Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm had long-standing enmity, major battles broke out rarely. How could they obtain these herbs during normal times?

Initially, they were at a loss. After all, only cultivators who had reached the Transcendence Stage could directly breach the void between realms.

But such powerful beings didn't need Divided Spirit Pills.

Other cultivators lacked that ability but refused to give up. Through countless efforts by senior cultivators, they eventually found a clever solution.

They discovered some spatial nodes between the Spirit Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm.

These nodes weakened periodically every two hundred years.

During this time, with the help of array masters, special arrays could be set up to breach the void, allowing a certain number of cultivators to enter the Ancient Demon Realm.

Unfortunately, due to the laws of nature, the number and strength of the cultivators entering these nodes were limited. Divided Spirit Stage and above couldn't enter.

This discovery immediately caused a sensation throughout Dragon Peak Realm. Major powers rejoiced and fiercely competed for thequotato enter the demon realm.

After all, the more cultivators from one's sect entered the demon realm, the greater the chance of collecting those divine herbs.

"Ah, I see," Lin Xuan's face showed contemplation. "Then may I ask Uncle, how many slots does our sect have to enter the demon realm?"

"Two."

"What? Only two?" This result was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xuan.

The silver-eyed maiden wore a bitter smile. "Didn't I just say that Cloud Concealment Sect's strength isn't weak, but only relative to Tianshuang County. In the entire Anlong Realm, we are insignificant."

Lin Xuan fell silent again. He had already thought of this when he spoke.

After all, as one of the top-tier realms in the Spirit Realm, Dragon Peak Realm was vast, divided into ninety-nine counties and cities.

Tianshuang County was just one of them, a smaller one at that.

By thinking about it, one could deduce how many powerful forces existed within Dragon Peak Realm. Since each node had limited slots for entering the demon realm, Cloud Concealment Sect's two slots were already quite good.

"Ah, I see."

With everything explained, Lin Xuan's expression became calm. "Uncle came here today to hope that I would go to the Ancient Demon Realm, right?"

"Yes. Although this journey is extremely dangerous, if you can return safely, it will greatly benefit both you and our sect."
