“ qián bèi kě yǒu shén me shōu huò ？” lǐ fán méi yǒu kào jìn ， yuǎn yuǎn dì wèn dào 。
“前辈可有什么收获？”李凡没有靠近，远远地问道。
"Senior, did you have any收获?" Li Fan asked from a distance.
“ hē hē ， yùn qì bù cuò 。” chén yīng liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī dé yì de shén sè ， dào ：“ cǐ chù cán cún de bīng hán zhī lì jí wéi bù fán ， hé wǒ liàn zhì de bīng yì jué qíng dān lèi sì ， dōu yǒu ān xīn dìng shén 、 wěn dìng qíng xù zhī xiào 。”
“呵呵，运气不错。”陈英脸上露出一丝得意的神色，道：“此处残存的冰寒之力极为不凡，和我炼制的冰意绝情丹类似，都有安心定神、稳定情绪之效。”
"Ha ha, quite lucky," Chen Ying said with a smug expression. "The residual icy power here is extraordinary. It's similar to the Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill I refined; both have the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing emotions."
“ shèn zhì ， nà gǔ lì liàng de céng jí ， hái zài bīng yì jué qíng dān zhī shàng 。 cǐ fān dùn wù ， wǒ yǒu xìn xīn duì dān fāng jìn xíng gǎi liáng 。 xiǎng bì gǎi jìn hòu de jué qíng dān ， dān xiào jiāng huì tí shēng bù shǎo 。”
“甚至，那股力量的层级，还在冰意绝情丹之上。此番顿悟，我有信心对丹方进行改良。想必改进后的绝情丹，丹效将会提升不少。”
"Moreover, that force's level surpasses even the Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill. This sudden enlightenment gives me confidence to improve the pill formula. The improved Absolute Emotion Pill will likely see a significant boost in its efficacy."
lǐ fán liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū xiàn mù zhī sè ， zuǐ lǐ shuō dào ：“ kě xī wǎn bèi wǒ zī zhì nú dùn ， méi néng gǎn yìng dào qián bèi suǒ shuō de nà gǔ bīng hán zhī lì 。 rú cǐ jī yuán jìn zài yǎn qián ， què bù néng yǒu suǒ lǐng wù ， shí zài shì xīn tòng wàn fēn a ！”
李凡脸上浮现出羡慕之色，嘴里说道：“可惜晚辈我资质驽钝，没能感应到前辈所说的那股冰寒之力。如此机缘近在眼前，却不能有所领悟，实在是心痛万分啊！”
Li Fan's face showed envy as he said, "Alas, my junior lacks the talent and failed to sense the icy power you spoke of. Such an opportunity is right before us yet I can't grasp it; truly heart-wrenching!"
chén yīng hā hā yī xiào ：“ zhè gǔ lì liàng běn yuán céng cì ， hái yào zài yuán yīng zhī shàng 。 nǐ yī xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī xiū shì ， gǎn yìng bú dào ， yě shì zhèng cháng 。”
陈英哈哈一笑：“这股力量本源层次，还要在元婴之上。你一小小的筑基修士，感应不到，也是正常。”
Chen Ying laughed loudly. "The origin level of this force surpasses even the Foundation Establishment Realm. As a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, you wouldn’t be able to sense it normally."
“ ruò bú shì wǒ jīng cháng fú yòng bīng yì jué qíng dān ， duì zhè zhǒng lèi shì de lì liàng jí wéi shú xī ， kǒng pà yě nán yǐ chá jué qí hén jì 。”
“若不是我经常服用冰意绝情丹，对这种类似的力量极为熟悉，恐怕也难以察觉其痕迹。”
"If not for me often consuming the Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill and being familiar with such similar forces, I might not have noticed its traces either."
chén yīng kàn zhe lǐ fán ， ān wèi dào ：“ cǐ cì wǒ yǒu dà shōu huò ， nǐ gōng bù kě méi 。 wǒ yě bú huì shí yán ， shuō ba ， nǐ xiǎng yào shén me bào chóu ？ gòng xiàn dù ？ dān yào ？ hái shì qí tā shén me ？”
陈英看着李凡，安慰道：“此次我有大收获，你功不可没。我也不会食言，说吧，你想要什么报酬？贡献度？丹药？还是其他什么？”
Chen Ying looked at Li Fan and consoled him, "This time, I had a great收获. You deserve much credit. I won't break my word; tell me what you want in return—contribution points? A pill? Or something else?"
lǐ fán shén sè yī sù ：“ wǎn bèi bù gǎn tān gōng 。 quán píng qián bèi zuò zhǔ ！”
李凡神色一肃：“晚辈不敢贪功。全凭前辈做主！”
Li Fan's expression turned serious. "My junior dares not take too much credit. Leave it to Senior!"
chén yīng duì yú lǐ fán de tài dù shí fēn mǎn yì 。
陈英对于李凡的态度十分满意。
Chen Ying was very pleased with Li Fan’s attitude.
chén yín le piàn kè ， tā tāo chū le yī méi yù zhì tiān xuán xiǎo jìng ， dāng chǎng jiù zhuǎn le sān wàn diǎn gòng xiàn dù gěi lǐ fán 。
沉吟了片刻，他掏出了一枚玉制天玄小镜，当场就转了三万点贡献度给李凡。
After a moment of contemplation, he took out an jade-made Tianxuan small mirror and immediately transferred 30,000 contribution points to Li Fan.
suí hòu yòu dì gěi lǐ fán yī méi líng fú ， shuō dào ：“ hái shì gòng xiàn dù bǐ jiào wàn yòng 。 nǐ xū yào shén me ， kě yǐ zì jǐ zài tiān xuán jìng zhōng gòu mǎi 。 zhè shì wǒ de tōng xùn líng fú ， nǐ yǐ hòu rú guǒ yǒu shén me liàn dān xū qiú de huà ， yě kě yǐ lián xì wǒ 。”
随后又递给李凡一枚灵符，说道：“还是贡献度比较万用。你需要什么，可以自己在天玄镜中购买。这是我的通讯灵符，你以后如果有什么炼丹需求的话，也可以联系我。”
He then handed another spirit token to Li Fan and said, "Contribution points are more versatile. You can buy what you need in the Tianxuan Mirror. This is my communication spirit token; if you have any alchemy needs in the future, you can contact me."
fǎng fú xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， chén yīng fù yòu shuō dào ：“ duì le ， zuì jìn yī duàn shí jiān ， wǒ kě néng bù zài cóng yún hǎi 。 zǒng bù zuì jìn fā xiàn le yí gè fēng bì qiān nián de dòng tiān ， mù shǔ xìng líng qì shí fēn nóng hòu ， tè bié shì hé zhòng zhí gè zhǒng líng zhí 。 zǒng bù cóng gè chù chōu diào rén shǒu ， zhǔn bèi duì qí jìn xíng kāi fā 。
仿佛想起了什么，陈英复又说道：“对了，最近一段时间，我可能不在丛云海。总部最近发现了一个封闭千年的洞天，木属性灵气十分浓厚，特别适合种植各种灵植。总部从各处抽调人手，准备对其进行开发。
Seemingly remembering something, Chen Ying added, "By the way, for a while now, I may not be in Cunyun Sea. The headquarters recently discovered a sealed-off thousand-year-old cave realm with very dense Wood属性 energy essence, perfect for cultivating various spirit plants. They are mobilizing people from all over to develop it.
“ wǒ shōu dào tōng zhī ， yě yào guò qù 。 dào shí hòu ， nǐ kě néng lián xì bù shàng wǒ 。”
“我收到通知，也要过去。到时候，你可能联系不上我。”
"I received notice and will have to go there too. You might not be able to reach me then."
lǐ fán tīng zhe ， xīn zhōng yī dòng 。 zhī dào zhè ge dòng tiān yīng gāi jiù shì nà yǐn fā líng wù cǎo jià gé bào diē de zuì kuí huò shǒu le 。 shèn zhì bù zhǐ shì líng wù cǎo 。 shì chǎng shàng mù qián dà bù fèn cǎo yào 、 líng zhí de jià gé ， dū huì shòu dào qí chǎn chū yǐng xiǎng ， dǎo zhì jià gé bào diē 。
李凡听着，心中一动。知道这个洞天应该就是那引发灵雾草价格暴跌的罪魁祸首了。甚至不只是灵雾草。市场上目前大部分草药、灵植的价格，都会受到其产出影响，导致价格暴跌。
Li Fan listened intently, his heart stirred. He knew this cave realm was likely the culprit behind the plummeting prices of Spirit Fog Grass. Not just that; most medicinal herbs and spirit plants in the market were also affected by its output, causing a significant price drop.
zhè hái shì qí cì 。 zuì wèi jīng rén de shì ， zhè mù shǔ xìng dòng tiān fù jìn ， jū rán hái yǐn cáng le lìng wài sì gè dòng tiān 。
这还是其次。最为惊人的是，这木属性洞天附近，居然还隐藏了另外四个洞天。
More astonishingly, there were actually four other cave realms hidden near this Wood属性 one.
wǔ dà dòng tiān ， fēn wéi jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ wǔ xíng ， yǐn yǐn jié chéng zhèn shì 。
五大洞天，分为金木水火土五行，隐隐结成阵势。
The five cave realms divided into Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements, forming an array-like structure.
hòu lái hái yǐn qǐ le wàn xiān méng hé wǔ lǎo huì de yī cháng zhēng duó zhàn 。
后来还引起了万仙盟和五老会的一场争夺战。
Later, it even sparked a battle for dominance between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.
zhǐ shì ， zhè me jī mì de xìn xī ， nǐ jiù zhè me suí yì de shuō chū lái le 。 zhēn de hǎo me ？
只是，这么机密的信息，你就这么随意的说出来了。真的好么？
But, is it really appropriate to casually share such confidential information?
lǐ fán kàn zhe chén yīng ， xīn zhōng yǒu xiē kū xiào bù dé 。
李凡看着陈英，心中有些哭笑不得。
Li Fan looked at Chen Ying, feeling somewhat helpless.
kàn lái cǐ rén ， huò xǔ zhēn de méi yǒu shén me chéng fǔ 。
看来此人，或许真的没有什么城府。
It seemed this person truly had no hidden agenda.
jǐn jiē zhe ， chén yīng yòu ná chū yī méi tōng xùn líng fú ：“ zhè shì wǒ de zhù shǒu ， mù róng de tōng xùn fú 。 tā shì jīn dān zhōng qī xiū shì ， liàn dān shuǐ píng yě shí fēn bù cuò 。 wǒ bù zài de shí hòu ， nǐ lián xì tā jiù hǎo 。 wǒ zǒu zhī qián ， huì gēn tā shuō yī shēng de 。”
紧接着，陈英又拿出一枚通讯灵符：“这是我的助手，牧荣的通讯符。他是金丹中期修士，炼丹水平也十分不错。我不在的时候，你联系他就好。我走之前，会跟他说一声的。”
Next, Chen Ying took out another communication spirit token. "This is my assistant, Mu Rong's communication token. He’s a middle-stage Golden Core cultivator and quite skilled in alchemy too. You can contact him when I’m not around; I’ll tell him before leaving."
lǐ fán jiāng liǎng méi líng fú shōu qǐ ， gǎn jī dì shuō dào ：“ duō xiè qián bèi hòu ài 。 dà ēn bì dìng bù gǎn wàng ！”
李凡将两枚灵符收起，感激地说道：“多谢前辈厚爱。大恩必定不敢忘！”
Li Fan put away the two spirit tokens and thanked Chen Ying sincerely. "Thank you for your generosity. Such great kindness, I will never forget!"
“ hā hā hā ！ nǐ wǒ xiāng shí ， yě shì yī cháng yuán fǎ 。 wǒ yòu kàn nǐ bǐ jiào shùn yǎn ， suǒ yǐ duō zhào gù yī xiē bà le 。 dà ēn shén me de ， dào yě tán bù shàng ！” chén yīng bǎi bǎi shǒu ， bù yǐ wéi rán 。
“哈哈哈！你我相识，也是一场缘法。我又看你比较顺眼，所以多照顾一些罢了。大恩什么的，倒也谈不上！”陈英摆摆手，不以为然。
"Hahaha! We met by chance, a fortunate encounter indeed. I see you as someone with potential, so I’ve taken care of you more than necessary. Great kindness? Hardly!" Chen Ying waved his hand dismissively.
“ cǐ jiān shì le ， wǒ hái yào huí qù yán jiū rú hé gǎi liáng dān fāng ， jiù bù zài cǐ dòu liú le 。”
“此间事了，我还要回去研究如何改良丹方，就不在此逗留了。”
"I must return to refine the pill formula. I won’t stay here any longer."
chén yīng shuō wán ， jiù yù lí qù 。
陈英说完，就欲离去。
Chen Ying was about to leave when Li Fan stopped him. "Senior, please wait!"
“ qián bèi qiě màn ！” lǐ fán jiāng qí lán zhù 。
“前辈且慢！”李凡将其拦住。
"Oh? What else is it?" Chen Ying was taken aback.
“ ó ？ nǐ hái yǒu hé shì ？” chén yīng yī lèng 。
“哦？你还有何事？”陈英一愣。
Seeing Li Fan hesitate, he frowned and said, "No need for formalities! Speak your mind!"
tā kàn zhe lǐ fán yóu yóu yù yù ， yī fù bù zhī gāi bù gāi kāi kǒu de yàng zi ， zhòu méi fēn fù dào ：“ bú yào pó pó mā mā de ！ dàn shuō wú fáng ！”
他看着李凡犹犹豫豫，一副不知该不该开口的样子，皱眉吩咐道：“不要婆婆妈妈的！但说无妨！”
Li Fan sized up the situation and asked, "Earlier, I heard you mention that 'exploration of the Void Realm will be even deeper.'"
lǐ fán chá yán guān sè ， dà gài mō qīng le cǐ rén xìng gé 。
李凡察言观色，大概摸清了此人性格。
"Since my cultivation began, I’ve known about the existence of supreme powerhouses in the Union Path and Longevity Realm."
yú shì fāng cái chū shēng wèn dào ：“ fāng cái ， wǒ céng tīng wén qián bèi shuō ‘ yú yǔn xiān jìng de tàn suǒ ， huì gèng jiā shēn rù ’。”
于是方才出声问道：“方才，我曾听闻前辈说‘于陨仙境的探索，会更加深入’。”
"But I've never heard any rumors related to [Immortal]."
“ zì wǎn bèi xiū xíng yǐ lái ， zhī dào cǐ shì jiān yǒu hé dào 、 cháng shēng jìng de wú shàng qiáng zhě cún zài 。”
“自晚辈修行以来，知道此世间有合道、长生境的无上强者存在。”
"So, this Void Realm you mentioned... I’m genuinely curious."
“ dàn què cóng wèi tīng shuō guò ， yǒu guān yú 【 xiān 】 de chuán wén 。”
“但却从未听说过，有关于【仙】的传闻。”
"Could you tell me where this Void Realm is? Did a True Immortal really fall here?"
“ suǒ yǐ ， duì yú qián bèi kǒu zhōng de yǔn xiān jìng 。 wǒ shí zài shì hào qí de jǐn 。”
“所以，对于前辈口中的陨仙境。我实在是好奇的紧。”
Li Fan’s eyes gleamed with intense curiosity, staring at Chen Ying.
“ bù zhī zhè yǔn xiān jìng ， shì shén me dì fāng ？ zhè lǐ miàn ， nán dào zhēn de yǔn luò le yī wèi zhēn xiān me ？”
“不知这陨仙境，是什么地方？这里面，难道真的陨落了一位真仙么？”
"Ah, that's it!" Chen Ying realized.
lǐ fán mù guāng zhuó zhuó ， shì yǒu wú xiàn de qiú zhī yù ， jǐn jǐn dīng zhe chén yīng 。
李凡目光灼灼，似有无限的求知欲，紧紧盯着陈英。
Without immediately answering Li Fan’s question, he asked instead, "What stage of cultivation are you currently at?"
“ yuán lái shì zhè jiàn shì ！” chén yīng huǎng rán 。
“原来是这件事！”陈英恍然。
Due to the Disappearance Seal, Chen Ying couldn’t discern Li Fan’s true cultivation level now.
méi yǒu mǎ shàng huí dá lǐ fán de wèn tí ， ér shì wèn dào ：“ nǐ rú jīn shì hé xiū wèi ？”
没有马上回答李凡的问题，而是问道：“你如今是何修为？”
"My junior is currently in late Foundation Establishment," Li Fan replied honestly.
yóu yú jī fā le miè zōng fú de yuán gù ， chén yīng yě kàn bù chū lǐ fán cǐ shí zhēn zhèng de xiū wèi jìng jiè 。
由于激发了灭踪符的缘故，陈英也看不出李凡此时真正的修为境界。
"Late Foundation Establishment..."
“ wǎn bèi mù qián shì zhù jī hòu qī 。” lǐ fán rú shí huí dá dào 。
“晚辈目前是筑基后期。”李凡如实回答道。
Chen Ying pondered for a moment before continuing. "Originally, only those above middle-stage Golden Core could know about this matter. But since you’re at late Foundation Establishment, it means you’re close to advancing to middle-stage Golden Core."
“ zhù jī hòu qī ……”
“筑基后期……”
"Knowing in advance isn’t much of an issue."
chén yīng sī suǒ le piàn kè ， fāng cái jiē zhe shuō dào ：“ yuán běn cǐ shì ， zhǐ yǒu jīn dān qī jí yǐ shàng xiū wèi cái néng zhī xiǎo 。 bù guò jì rán nǐ yǐ jīng zhù jī hòu qī le ， xiǎng bì lí tū pò dào jīn dān qī yǐ jīng bù yuǎn le 。”
陈英思索了片刻，方才接着说道：“原本此事，只有金丹期及以上修为才能知晓。不过既然你已经筑基后期了，想必离突破到金丹期已经不远了。”
Pausing briefly, Chen Ying warned seriously, "Just remember: knowing the Void Realm’s existence is enough. Before reaching middle-stage Golden Core, your divine sense strength is insufficient; don’t try exploring. Otherwise, you might damage your cultivation foundation and even fail to form a Golden Core."
“ tí qián liǎo jiě ， yě méi shén me dà ài 。”
“提前了解，也没什么大碍。”
"Insufficient divine sense strength..." Li Fan repeated in his mind, nodding.
chén yīng dùn le dùn ， yòu miàn sè yán sù de dīng zhǔ dào ：“ zhǐ shì ， nǐ qiè jì 。 zhī dào yǔn xiān jìng de cún zài jiù hǎo ， méi jìn shēng dào jīn dān qī zhī qián ， shén shí qiáng dù bù gòu ， qiān wàn bú yào qù cháng shì tàn suǒ 。 fǒu zé ， shén shí shòu sǔn bù shuō ， hái huì sǔn huài xiū xíng gēn jī 。 yán zhòng hái huì dǎo zhì jié dān wú wàng 。”
陈英顿了顿，又面色严肃的叮嘱道：“只是，你切记。知道陨仙境的存在就好，没晋升到金丹期之前，神识强度不够，千万不要去尝试探索。否则，神识受损不说，还会损坏修行根基。严重还会导致结丹无望。”
He quickly realized something and asked curiously, "This Void Realm? Can I also explore it?"
“ shén shí qiáng dù bù gòu me ……” lǐ fán xīn zhōng mò mò chóng fù le yī jù ， diǎn tóu yīng xià 。
“神识强度不够么……”李凡心中默默重复了一句，点头应下。
Chen Ying smiled lightly. "Haha. Not just you; all cultivators in the Xuan Huang World can enter and explore on their own."
suí hòu lì mǎ fǎn yìng guò lái ， yǒu xiē chà yì de wèn dào ：“ zhè yǔn xiān jìng ？ nán dào wǒ yě kě yǐ qù tàn suǒ me ？”
随后立马反应过来，有些诧异的问道：“这陨仙境？难道我也可以去探索么？”
"However, only middle-stage Golden Core’s divine sense strength allows them to move around within the Void Realm. True freedom of exploration requires reaching Foundation Establishment."
chén yīng qīng xiào dào ：“ hē hē 。 qǐ zhǐ shì nǐ ， fán xuán huáng jiè suǒ yǒu xiū shì ， dōu kě jìn rù qí zhōng ， zì xíng tàn suǒ 。”
陈英轻笑道：“呵呵。岂止是你，凡玄黄界所有修士，都可进入其中，自行探索。”
Li Fan became even more curious. "Where exactly is this Void Realm?"
“ bù guò ， jīn dān qī xiū shì de shén shí qiáng dù ， yě zhǐ shì néng miǎn qiǎng zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de xíng dòng ér yǐ 。 xiǎng yào zhēn zhèng zì yóu tàn suǒ ， hái shì yào děng dào yuán yīng qī cái xíng 。”
“不过，金丹期修士的神识强度，也只是能勉强在陨仙境中的行动而已。想要真正自由探索，还是要等到元婴期才行。”
Chen Ying crossed his arms behind his back and sighed deeply. "The Void Realm..."
lǐ fán bù yóu dì yù fā hào qí qǐ lái ：“ zhè yǔn xiān jìng ， jiū jìng zài nǎ lǐ ？”
李凡不由地愈发好奇起来：“这陨仙境，究竟在哪里？”
"It's everywhere."
chén yīng bēi fù shuāng shǒu ， kuì rán cháng tàn ：“ yǔn xiān jìng ……”
陈英背负双手，喟然长叹：“陨仙境……”
"Everywhere?" Li Fan was stunned.
“ wú chǔ bù zài 。”
“无处不在。”
"Indeed," Chen Ying nodded. "Any place in the Xuan Huang World, by specific methods, one can enter the Void Realm at any time."
“ wú chǔ bù zài ？” lǐ fán lèng zhù le 。
“无处不在？”李凡愣住了。
"But only your divine sense enters; your physical body remains outside."
“ bù cuò 。” chén yīng diǎn le diǎn tóu 。“ zài xuán huáng jiè rèn hé dì fāng ， tōng guò tè dìng de fāng fǎ ， dōu kě yǐ suí shí jìn rù yǔn xiān jìng 。”
“不错。”陈英点了点头。“在玄黄界任何地方，通过特定的方法，都可以随时进入陨仙境。”
Li Fan frowned upon hearing this. "So, is the Void Realm purely a realm of consciousness?"
“ dàn ， zhǐ shì shén shí jìn rù qí zhōng 。 ròu shēn què bú huì gēn zhe jìn qù 。”
“但，只是神识进入其中。肉身却不会跟着进去。”
Chen Ying said, "You can think of it that way. But it has transcended the boundaries of illusion and reality."
lǐ fán wén yán zhòu méi ：“ nán bù chéng ， zhè yǔn xiān jìng ， shì chún cuì de yì shí shì jiè ？”
李凡闻言皱眉：“难不成，这陨仙境，是纯粹的意识世界？”
"Harvests from within the Void Realm can truly be brought back to the Xuan Huang World."
chén yīng dào ：“ nǐ kě yǐ zhè me rèn wéi 。 bù guò ， tā yǐ rán chāo chū le xū huàn 、 zhēn jiǎ de jiè xiàn 。”
陈英道：“你可以这么认为。不过，它已然超出了虚幻、真假的界限。”
"Death in the Void Realm merely injures your divine sense; you won’t truly perish."
“ zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng de shōu huò ， shì kě yǐ zhēn zhèng dài huí xuán huáng jiè de 。”
“在陨仙境中的收获，是可以真正带回玄黄界的。”
"So, the Void Realm is the most sought-after secret realm for middle-stage Golden Core cultivators."
“ ér zài yǔn xiān jìng zhōng sǐ wáng ， zuì duō yě shì shén shí shòu shāng 。 bú huì zhēn zhèng de yǔn luò 。”
“而在陨仙境中死亡，最多也是神识受伤。不会真正的陨落。”
Li Fan immediately understood the value of the Void Realm. "What exactly can one find within this Void Realm?" he asked.
“ suǒ yǐ ， yǔn xiān jìng shì jīn dān qī yǐ shàng xiū shì men ， zuì wèi rè zhōng tàn suǒ de mì jìng 。”
“所以，陨仙境是金丹期以上修士们，最为热衷探索的秘境。”
"What exactly?" Chen Ying smiled and pointed around. "Whatever is here, exists in the Void Realm."
"Senior, did you have any收获?" Li Fan asked from a distance.
"Ha ha, quite lucky," Chen Ying said with a smug expression. "The residual icy power here is extraordinary. It's similar to the Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill I refined; both have the effect of calming the mind and stabilizing emotions."
"Moreover, that force's level surpasses even the Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill. This sudden enlightenment gives me confidence to improve the pill formula. The improved Absolute Emotion Pill will likely see a significant boost in its efficacy."
Li Fan's face showed envy as he said, "Alas, my junior lacks the talent and failed to sense the icy power you spoke of. Such an opportunity is right before us yet I can't grasp it; truly heart-wrenching!"
Chen Ying laughed loudly. "The origin level of this force surpasses even the Foundation Establishment Realm. As a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, you wouldn’t be able to sense it normally."
"If not for me often consuming the Ice Intent Absolute Emotion Pill and being familiar with such similar forces, I might not have noticed its traces either."
Chen Ying looked at Li Fan and consoled him, "This time, I had a great收获. You deserve much credit. I won't break my word; tell me what you want in return—contribution points? A pill? Or something else?"
Li Fan's expression turned serious. "My junior dares not take too much credit. Leave it to Senior!"
Chen Ying was very pleased with Li Fan’s attitude.
After a moment of contemplation, he took out an jade-made Tianxuan small mirror and immediately transferred 30,000 contribution points to Li Fan.
He then handed another spirit token to Li Fan and said, "Contribution points are more versatile. You can buy what you need in the Tianxuan Mirror. This is my communication spirit token; if you have any alchemy needs in the future, you can contact me."
"Um..."
Seemingly remembering something, Chen Ying added, "By the way, for a while now, I may not be in Cunyun Sea. The headquarters recently discovered a sealed-off thousand-year-old cave realm with very dense Wood属性 energy essence, perfect for cultivating various spirit plants. They are mobilizing people from all over to develop it.
"I received notice and will have to go there too. You might not be able to reach me then."
Li Fan listened intently, his heart stirred. He knew this cave realm was likely the culprit behind the plummeting prices of Spirit Fog Grass. Not just that; most medicinal herbs and spirit plants in the market were also affected by its output, causing a significant price drop.
More astonishingly, there were actually four other cave realms hidden near this Wood属性 one.
The five cave realms divided into Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth elements, forming an array-like structure.
Later, it even sparked a battle for dominance between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association.
But, is it really appropriate to casually share such confidential information?
Li Fan looked at Chen Ying, feeling somewhat helpless.
It seemed this person truly had no hidden agenda.
Next, Chen Ying took out another communication spirit token. "This is my assistant, Mu Rong's communication token. He’s a middle-stage Golden Core cultivator and quite skilled in alchemy too. You can contact him when I’m not around; I’ll tell him before leaving."
Li Fan put away the two spirit tokens and thanked Chen Ying sincerely. "Thank you for your generosity. Such great kindness, I will never forget!"
"Hahaha! We met by chance, a fortunate encounter indeed. I see you as someone with potential, so I’ve taken care of you more than necessary. Great kindness? Hardly!" Chen Ying waved his hand dismissively.
"I must return to refine the pill formula. I won’t stay here any longer."
Chen Ying was about to leave when Li Fan stopped him. "Senior, please wait!"

Chen Ying pondered for a moment before continuing. "Originally, only those above middle-stage Golden Core could know about this matter. But since you’re at late Foundation Establishment, it means you’re close to advancing to middle-stage Golden Core."
"Knowing in advance isn’t much of an issue."
Pausing briefly, Chen Ying warned seriously, "Just remember: knowing the Void Realm’s existence is enough. Before reaching middle-stage Golden Core, your divine sense strength is insufficient; don’t try exploring. Otherwise, you might damage your cultivation foundation and even fail to form a Golden Core."
"Insufficient divine sense strength..." Li Fan repeated in his mind, nodding.
He quickly realized something and asked curiously, "This Void Realm? Can I also explore it?"
Chen Ying smiled lightly. "Haha. Not just you; all cultivators in the Xuan Huang World can enter and explore on their own."
"However, only middle-stage Golden Core’s divine sense strength allows them to move around within the Void Realm. True freedom of exploration requires reaching Foundation Establishment."
Li Fan became even more curious. "Where exactly is this Void Realm?"
Chen Ying crossed his arms behind his back and sighed deeply. "The Void Realm..."
"It's everywhere."
"Everywhere?" Li Fan was stunned.
"Indeed," Chen Ying nodded. "Any place in the Xuan Huang World, by specific methods, one can enter the Void Realm at any time."
"But only your divine sense enters; your physical body remains outside."
Li Fan frowned upon hearing this. "So, is the Void Realm purely a realm of consciousness?"
Chen Ying said, "You can think of it that way. But it has transcended the boundaries of illusion and reality."
"Harvests from within the Void Realm can truly be brought back to the Xuan Huang World."
"Death in the Void Realm merely injures your divine sense; you won’t truly perish."
"So, the Void Realm is the most sought-after secret realm for middle-stage Golden Core cultivators."
Li Fan immediately understood the value of the Void Realm. "What exactly can one find within this Void Realm?" he asked.
"What exactly?" Chen Ying smiled and pointed around. "Whatever is here, exists in the Void Realm."
