Chapter 606: 515 Fellow Sect Member Gives Fruit (Seeking Monthly Pass)_1

Generally speaking, a single Dust Cleansing Pill was enough to cleanse away the aura of the Lower Realm from Shen Long, and the extra four Dust Cleansing Pills were for feeding the Spirit Beasts. Any beings that ascend from the Lower Realm to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot had to cleanse away the Lower Realm’s aura; otherwise, they would face minor heavenly tribulations every hundred years and major heavenly tribulations every thousand years.

According to Lin Huahua’s introduction, Monster Beasts of the Lower Realm that cultivate to the middle stage of the fifth rank can also ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. They are often taken as Spirit Beasts by the Cultivators guarding the Ascendant Platform or killed by Cultivators.

Some Monster Beasts cultivate to the initial stage of the fifth rank and smuggle themselves into the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot at the risk of nine deaths for one life. Those that manage to survive face a minor heavenly tribulation every hundred years and a major heavenly tribulation every thousand years, with each tribulation more powerful than the last.

Not cleansing the Lower Realm’s aura meant an eventual death by heavenly tribulation.

The Elixir melted as soon as it entered his mouth, and Shen Long quickly began cultivating to refine the medicine’s potency.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed, he finished cultivating, entered the Myriad Beasts Tower, and fed a Dust Cleansing Pill to his Thunder Roc, Four-Tailed Spirit Fox, Fire Qilin Beast, and Nine-Headed Ghost Pigeon, one each.

He had a significant number of Spirit Beasts, Spirit Insects, and Spirit Birds; four Dust Cleansing Pills were far from enough. He needed more Dust Cleansing Pills, and rather than asking for help, it would be best if he made them himself.

He needed to pass the Alchemy assessment of the Qianling Sect to become an Alchemist, so he could have access to the Pill Formulas collected by the Qianling Sect.

Shen Long exited the Myriad Beasts Tower as a Voice Transmission Paper Crane flew in, circling above him incessantly.

"Senior Sister Lin is back so soon?"

Shen Long was somewhat surprised. He cast a spell, and the runes on the body of the Voice Transmission Paper Crane shone brightly, emitting a woman’s voice like a silver bell, "Junior Brother Shen, I am Li Tianxue. The Sect Leader is my master. I am here by my master’s orders to check on you."

"The disciple of the Sect Master Aunt!"

Shen Long dared not neglect her and hurriedly went out.

He opened the gate of the Golden Roc Garden and saw a pale-robed young girl with a picturesque visage standing at the doorway. Her aura was even stronger than Shen Long’s.

"Please come in, Senior Sister Li."

Shen Long gestured invitingly and welcomed Li Tianxue inside.

"Junior Brother Shen, you might not be clear about the situation here in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot,"

Li Tianxue said as she began the conversation.

"Senior Sister Lin has been here and told me quite a bit about the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot,"

Shen Long replied.

"Do you have any difficulties? Speak freely; we are all disciples of Ancestor Wu, and it is only right to look out for one another,"

Li Tianxue’s tone was warm.

"I wish to become an Alchemist of our sect. May I know what the standards for the Alchemy examination are?"

Shen Long asked politely.

"Succeed in making the Elixir three out of five attempts with the materials provided, and you will pass the Alchemy examination. You can then take on some Alchemy tasks. If you have time, Junior Brother Shen, I can take you to Golden Flame Peak to participate in the Alchemy examination now,"

Li Tianxue said with a smile.

"Senior Sister Li, how many disciples has Ancestor Wu taken? I’m very interested in the development of our sect. I forgot to ask Senior Sister Lin earlier. Could you please tell me about it?"

Shen Long earnestly requested.

Li Tianxue nodded with a smile and said, "To my knowledge, Ancestor Wu has taken on five disciples to date. Only my master remains; those Senior Uncles have all perished. After Ancestor Wu ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, instead of joining other powers, he established his own sect."

She spoke of the development history of the Qianling Sect. After Yuling True Monarch advanced to the Refinement Void Phase, he founded the Qianling Sect, which, after many years of development, controlled territories spanning trillions of miles, with disciples numbering in the hundreds of thousands, and boasted three Unity Cultivators, which was considered quite remarkable.

Currently, Yuling True Monarch had taken on five disciples, three of whom died at the hands of Heterodox Cultivators, one perished while traveling, leaving only Mo Bingbing.

"Nearly ten thousand Soul Transformation Cultivators!"

Shen Long’s face showed an expression of sudden realization, as the Qian Yang Realm was only tens of billions of miles in size, and the territory controlled by the Qianling Sect was thousands of times larger.

"You don’t have to worry, though. We are the direct lineage of the authentic branch, and you are an Alchemist, so the treatment will not be poor,"

Li Tianxue reassured him, thinking Shen Long might be concerned about the issue of resources in the future.

"Senior Sister Li, is it very difficult for the Lower Realm? Has Ancestor Wu never sent anyone down there?"

Shen Long curiously asked.

"For our Qianling Sect, it is very difficult. Generally speaking, Cultivators from the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot descend to the lower realms using high-quality Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures. The Big Dipper Pavilion has a Realm-Breaking Disk; such treasures are very precious, and either a seventh-tier Formation or a seventh-tier Secret Talisman could also enable descent to the lower realms,"

Li Tianxue explained, then she seemed to recall something and continued, "Speaking of the Human Clan and the top ten powers of the Green Lotus Continent, less than a handful can send people to the Lower Realm. It’s not that Ancestor Wu doesn’t want to send people; we simply don’t have that capability."

"I see, it seems that Big Dipper Pavilion’s strength is formidable. I wonder how it compares to the Tianyuan Tribe."

Shen Long continued to ask.

"The Tianyuan Tribe’s strength was very formidable in the past. In the great racial war hundreds of years ago, the Tianyuan Tribe lost twelve Unity Cultivators, and it was greatly weakened. They haven’t fully recovered yet,"

Li Tianxue explained.

"They lost twelve Unity Cultivators in the great racial war? And it only weakened them?"

Shen Long was shocked.

"After all, the Tianyuan Tribe is an old and established race, with a heritage of over a million years. They were once one of the Green Lotus Continent’s top ten races. They’ve endured many great calamities and are just a mid-sized tribe now. During that racial war, Ancestor Wu slew one Unity Cultivator and severely wounded two others,"

Li Tianxue said with pride. She seemed to remember something, took out two exquisitely crafted green jade boxes, and handed them to Shen Long, saying, "Here are a Longevity Fruit and a Yang Enhancement Fruit. By consuming these two Spirit Fruits, you can extend your lifespan by a thousand years. I don’t have anything else valuable to offer, just a small token of my regard."

"Extend my lifespan by a thousand years?"

Shen Long gasped in surprise, thinking that if this were in the Lower Realm, it would certainly provoke a scramble among Soul Transformation Cultivators.

"It’s nothing special, not one of the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits. Maybe it’s rare in the Lower Realm, but in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, it’s nothing extraordinary. Oh, and I’m giving you this Myriad Insects Compendium, which records the Spirit Insects from the Insects List. If you encounter any, you can consider taming them,"

Li Tianxue said as she took out a sparkling book and handed it to Shen Long.

"The Myriad Insects Compendium! Thank you, Senior Sister Li,"

Shen Long thanked her.

"When do you plan to take the Alchemy exam? I’m free anytime,"

Li Tianxue warmly said.

"I don’t have anything else going on right now, let’s head over now! It’s better to pass the Alchemy exam sooner,"

Shen Long replied.

With a flick of her wrist, Li Tianxue released a huge butterfly from her Spirit Beast Bracelet.

The butterfly’s body was patterned with colors of various hues, and judging by its aura, this was a fifth-tier early-stage Spirit Insect.

"This Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly’s flight speed is quite fast,"

Li Tianxue introduced, then stepped onto its back, with Shen Long following her.

Li Tianxue instructed, "To Golden Flame Peak."

"Yes, Master,"

the Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly responded.

"Such purity in its bloodline? Can all fifth-tier Spirit Insects in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot speak the human tongue?"

Shen Long wondered aloud.

"Of course not. I acquired an Enlightening Pill at an underground auction years ago and fed it to her. Only then could she speak. Most of the fifth-tier Demon Insects and Monster Beasts in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot still cannot talk,"

Li Tianxue explained.

With a gentle flutter of its wings, the Seven-Colored Spirit Butterfly soared into the
