"Brother Ma, is the Heavenly Dust Pill really that amazing? Not only can it help a Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection cultivator easily advance into the Core Formation Stage, but it can even aid in the condensation of the Nascent Soul"
"Yes, this effect is too heaven-defying. Are the rumors of it being fake actually true?"
"Don't believe that nonsense, it's the real thing."The person who spoke was a middle-aged cultivator: "When I first heard the news, my reaction was similar to yours, but the Big Three and Demonic Dao sent several Core Formation Stage Experts to participate in obtaining it. So it's most probably true."
"Then who won it in the end?"
"Nobody did, the Sky Fiend Demon Lord was in a desperate situation, and had destroyed the Heavenly Dust Pill."The cultivator surnamed Ma began to speak, although there was some exaggeration. But what he described of the situation was generally correct.
Lin Xuan frowned, he had no idea who revealed the information. No matter what he thought of the matter, he smiled with joy. Everyone thought that the Heavenly Dust Pill had turned into waste so he should be in a safer position.
After listening to his story, several cultivators signed, thinking it's a pity. With a relative sigh, a cultivator with a monkey face spoke in a mysterious tone: "Although the Heavenly Dust Pill was destroyed, it's not like it's the last one in this world."
"What?" Hearing this, everyone including Lin Xuan on the side was shocked, and their attention was attracted.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, what do you mean?"
"Hehe, Zhang would not say baseless things." The monkey-faced cultivator was proud with their enthusiasm: "Fellow Daoists, do you know where did the Heavenly Dust Pill came from that day?"
"Isn't this just nonsense? The Sky Fiend Demon Lord obtained it in a secret cave. It is said to be the relic of a Daoist Master from thousands of years ago."A young cultivator said with disinterest.
"That's right." A wide smile on the cultivator's face: "Who's Daoist Heavenly Dust? He's the founder of Spirit Pill Mountain, since he had refined the Heavenly Dust Pill, shouldn't his sect have some too? Does everyone still think that Zhang's words are unreasonable?"
"This..." Everyone was lost on thought, a while later, an old man spoke, "There is some truth to what you said, but the effects of the Heavenly Dust Pill is extremely magical, if one wanted to refine it, it would be extremely difficult, maybe only a few can succeed, Daoist Master Heavenly Dust was just a genius."
"Fellow Daoist isn't completely wrong. Refining the Heavenly Dust Pill is extremely difficult, but the Spirit Pill Mountain is composed of a group of pill-refining madmen. After thousands of years of accumulation, even if they failed countless times, they should have still succeeded at least once or twice. Surely some Heavenly Dust Pills were successfully refined. "
"True, brother Zhang is right, even if there were no Heavenly Dust Pills. Spirit Pill Mountain should still have other less effective products, but the Spirit Pill Mountain usually keep them hidden, and refuses to take them out…"
Hearing this, Lin Xuan did not stay any longer and left Fang City. He then stopped on top of a hill with nice scenery.
Recalling the scene at that time, Lin Xuan's expression was uncertain, others may be unclear, but he still knew something about Spirit Pill Mountain. Although the waters of this Sect are much deeper than he imagined, and his title as the Junior Sect Master was a little inexplicable but compared with outsiders, he is still more aware of the inside situation.
The Heavenly Dust Pill?
Lin Xuan was sure that there is no such thing in the current Spirit Pill Mountain. Although there are many experts in the Sect, and there may even be an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage, but there's absolutely no one as amazing as the founder.
Something as the Heavenly Dust Pill. Its effects had reached the level of Defying the Heaven. How can it be that easily made?
In the past, the Heavenly Dust Daoist Master must have gone through untold hardships to create it.
In other words, the current Spirit Pill Mountain does not have such a Spirit Medicine.
Still, this situation may be clear to him, and to the disciples of Spirit Pill Mountain, but not to outsiders. They know too little about Alchemy, so it's naturally quite hard for them to understand the difficulty of refining such a heaven-defying pill.
The layman looks on with folded arms. But the expert regards it with awareness. He's afraid that many people had the same idea as the monkey-faced cultivator.
What happens next is easy to predict.
Ignorant people are free of guilt. Once this rumor spreads out, the cultivators who would want to confront the Spirit Pill Mountain will not be few.
Although the status of Spirit Pill Mountain is detached, those cultivators would definitely be unable to resist the temptation. Generally speaking, those puppies and kittens are nothing, because Lin Xuan knows that this Sect does not only have superficial strength, it also has many hidden experts. But even if that's the case, existences on the level of the Big Three, or the Extreme Devil Venerable, may also make a move…
Although under normal circumstances, the possibility is quite unlikely. Those Nascent Soul Stage eccentrics are quite cunning and clever, they would not listen to the rumors, but if they fell to the temptation, they wouldn't be afraid of confronting tens of thousands of opponents, not to mention Spirit Pill Mountain. If those old monsters were really interested…
This matter has really become quite troublesome.
As a disciple of Spirit Pill Mountain and his identity as the junior Sect Master, it would be impossible to be left alone. If he were to be involved in the vortex of the battle, he would encounter all kinds of dangers, and there would be no way for him to cultivate in peace.
In this case, Lin Xuan naturally does want this situation to happen.
So what to do?
"Should he leave?" This is one choice, anyway, all of his treasures are with him, he could simply not return to Spirit Pill Mountain, and find a new place to cultivate.
It sounds tempting, he can stay away from trouble, and pursue the Immortal Path, but Lin Xuan was hesitant and was unable to make up his mind. There's no other reason, it's cool under a big tree, he's just a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Without the Sect as a backer, the path forward would be very difficult.
Now, Lin Xuan's field of view is not as it used to be. It's not easy to be a Rogue Cultivator. The Cultivation World follows the way of the jungle. Unless he's an expert of the Core Formation Stage, otherwise he'd just be an ordinary Rogue Cultivator, and would most definitely hit a wall somewhere along the way. Without strength as a backing. Wanting to cultivate peacefully is just empty talk.
What's more, people are not plants without a soul, he can't be that ruthless, and Daoist Tong Yu was quite good to him, just leaving without saying goodbye, it seems a bit…
Of course, Lin Xuan is not a fool. His life is the most important. If there was really any life-threatening danger, he will definitely not return to Spirit Pill Mountain.
