The Immortal Cultivation World Is Too Dangerous: I Return to Earth as a Divine Sage

Chapter 31: Life-Extending Dew Equals Infinite Spiritual Energy?

“Mr. Ye, a figure comparable to a sage, and Kunlun, an organization akin to a myth. In the future, it will surely be the members of Kunlun who dominate the world. For families like ours, if no one joins Kunlun, our vast family legacy will undoubtedly attract countless covetous eyes. Perhaps even a few Kunlun members, wielding extraordinary powers, could annex our Medicine family.”

“Zhao Qingzhi said he wants forty of the heaven-and-earth spiritual medicines we call divine herbs to recommend you, the family head, and Zi’er to join Kunlun. Moreover, Zi’er can stay by Mr. Ye’s side during the time he comprehends the mysteries of the female Wisdom Root physique. This deal is worth making.”

“I agree that you, the family head, should open the Medicine family’s treasury and take all the heaven-and-earth spiritual medicines we’ve stored. Part of it will be used to pay the Zhao family, and the other part will be used to exchange for Kunlun points for you, strengthening our Medicine family.”

After a long pause, the Grand Elder Yao Xuan was the first to recover, looking at Yao Lai with utmost seriousness as he spoke.

“I agree as well.” The Second Elder Yao Weng immediately followed.

“We all agree.”

The other Medicine family elders also nodded in unanimous agreement.

“Good, then open the treasury immediately and retrieve all the heaven-and-earth spiritual medicines. Have the Medicine family’s shadow guards escort them to Tianhai City.

“Oh, and mobilize as many shadow guards as possible. Although it’s almost ninety-nine percent certain that Kunlun and Mr. Ye are real, we must prepare for the one percent chance. If tomorrow it turns out that Mr. Ye and the so-called Kunlun are fake, these shadow guards will be our force to deal with the Zhao family.”

After all the Medicine family elders agreed, Yao Lai spoke in a deep voice.

“Rest assured, Family Head.” The Medicine family elders nodded in response to Yao Lai’s words.

“Good, then go make the preparations.” Yao Lai said.

“We take our leave.” The Medicine family elders bowed to Yao Lai and exited the meeting hall.

Soon, only Yao Lai and Yao Zi’er remained in the meeting hall.

“Zi’er, barring any surprises, tomorrow you will follow that person. Regarding this, your grandfather has a few words of advice for you.” Yao Lai looked at Yao Zi’er with a serious tone.

“Grandfather, please speak.”

Yao Zi’er’s expression tightened as she looked at Yao Lai.

“You’ve been intelligent since childhood, which is a good thing, but sometimes, good things can turn bad. Tomorrow, after you meet Mr. Ye and stay by his side, I want you to set aside your cleverness. It’s best not to have too many ideas of your own. Whatever Mr. Ye asks you to do, do it, and absolutely do not act self-righteous or play small tricks.

“Mr. Ye has lived for too long and has seen countless aspects of human nature. No one’s schemes can escape his eyes. If you act honestly, you may not stand out, but you definitely won’t make mistakes. But if you use petty tricks and displease Mr. Ye, that would be a tremendous loss.

“Therefore, I’d rather you do nothing at all than make a mistake. I only have a low-grade Wisdom Root. For now, perhaps because I joined early, I can secure a place in Kunlun. But in the future, as Kunlun’s members grow in number, my low-grade Wisdom Root will surely become unremarkable.

“You, however, are different. Although your Wisdom Root is only mid-grade, you are, aside from Zhao Qingzhi’s granddaughter, one of the first to stay by Mr. Ye’s side. This bond alone is enough to grant you a significant position in Kunlun. The future glory of our Medicine family depends on you. So you absolutely must not make mistakes, understand?”

Yao Lai looked at Yao Zi’er with utmost seriousness.

“I understand, Zi’er.” Yao Zi’er, after a long silence, nodded.

“One more thing: Zhao Qingzhi’s granddaughter, Zhao Ling’er, who is currently by Mr. Ye’s side—you should try your best to build a good relationship with her.

“She has a top-grade Wisdom Root. Even without the status of being by Mr. Ye’s side, her future position will not be low. Add to that the bond of being close to Mr. Ye, and her status in Kunlun will undoubtedly be among the highest. Building a good relationship with her will only benefit our Medicine family, with no drawbacks.” Yao Lai continued, looking at Yao Zi’er.

“I understand.” Yao Zi’er fell silent again but nodded once more.

“Zi’er, I know you feel a bit stifled. In the past, in terms of status, Zhao Qingzhi’s granddaughter was far below you. One could even say that, aside from the direct princesses of the imperial family, hardly anyone’s status could surpass yours. Now, to suddenly go from such a lofty position to having to curry favor with someone whose status was once beneath yours, you must feel uncomfortable.

“But even if you’re uncomfortable, you must endure it. Everything is fate. In the past, your status was high, and hers was low—that was fate, your fate was naturally higher than hers. Now, she has a top-grade Wisdom Root, while you only have a mid-grade one—that’s also fate. With immortals and gods reappearing and Kunlun restarting, you are simply not her equal, and you must accept it.

“Even I must accept my fate. In the past, even that old man Zhao Qingzhi was a step below me, but now, I too must curry favor with him. If the opportunity arises, I might even need to ally our entire Medicine family with his Zhao family, with him as the leader.”  Yao Lai sighed as he looked at Yao Zi’er.

“Grandfather, you don’t need to say more. I understand.” Yao Zi’er nodded as she looked at Yao Lai.

“Good, as long as you understand.” Yao Lai nodded.

…

“I didn’t expect that, besides extending lifespan, the Life-Extending Dew could also replace elixirs and be used for cultivation to enhance one’s realm?”

Inside the villa, after Ye Yang nurtured a few more batches of Life-Extending Dew, he began studying whether the dew produced by the Earth’s Longevity Flower had any other special effects.

This investigation indeed led Ye Yang to discover other mysteries of the Life-Extending Dew.

He found that after consuming the Life-Extending Dew and circulating his cultivation technique to refine it, the dew’s power could be transformed in two directions. One was to increase lifespan, and the other was to convert it into spiritual energy again.

The spiritual energy converted from the Life-Extending Dew was exceptionally effective.

Just as ordinary dew was transformed into Life-Extending Dew by the Longevity Flower, it was on an entirely different level.

After being converted back into spiritual energy, the dew’s purity and quantity increased by dozens of times.

Ye Yang merely refined two drops of Life-Extending Dew, and his cultivation, which had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Fourth stage of Qi Refining due to watching Zhao Ling’er dance, advanced again to the late Fourth stage of Qi Refining.

Most crucially, the spiritual energy converted from the Life-Extending Dew could turn the Longevity Flower into an infinite perpetual motion machine.

The spiritual energy from a single drop of Life-Extending Dew could be used by Ye Yang to nurture hundreds of drops of dew. Moreover, the spiritual energy from one drop of Life-Extending Dew could allow the Longevity Flower to absorb enough spiritual energy to start transforming ordinary dew into Life-Extending Dew again.

In other words, Ye Yang no longer needed to worry about running out of the elixirs he brought from the Tianhuang Sect or lacking spiritual energy.

With the Life-Extending Dew produced by the Longevity Flower, he would never lack spiritual energy. As much spiritual energy as he wanted, he could have.
