However, even if Spirit Sword True Master has a greater chance of winning, Shen Xuan will not take sides.
He believes in forming his own path, relying on oneself is better than seeking help from others.
As long as he breaks through to the Divine Power Realm.
He will naturally find ways to collect resources for Nascent Soul Formation.
After visiting the Sect’s Golden Core, Shen Xuan went to see the True Pill True Masters he knew.
True Master Tong Xuan, True Master Chong Xu, True Master Jade Sun, True Master Purple Qi, Chang Chun True Master, among others.
At True Master Jade Sun’s place, he traded a Golden Transformation Pill for True Master Jade Sun’s artifact refining inheritance.
Additionally, he had the Fiery Light Flame Saber enhanced by True Master Jade Sun with many rare fire attribute heavenly and earthly treasures, re-smelting it to upgrade its grade to Tier Two Upper Grade.
...
Several months later.
Yue Country, Xuanfa Sect, Cloud Stream Immortal City.
Morning.
In the square, ten white jade arenas were erected.
Foundation Establishment cultivators from the thirteen sects of Yue Country, competing for the secret realm slots, entered the square one after another after being inspected by Xuanfa Sect’s law enforcement team.
The surrounding outer area of the square gradually became lively.
Those watching the matches, setting up stalls for business, and instigating gambling and betting, were all energetic.
In the air, a treasure mirror several zhang long and wide appeared.
Some golden text flickered out from it.
"Here it is. The rules for competing for the Spirit Stream Secret Realm quota, here it is!"
Outside the square, many cultivators saw the golden text in the treasure mirror and shouted excitedly.
"Just like previous years, there are still three hundred slots. However, it seems the competition rules have changed. The first round involves three Tier Two Puppet Beasts."
"Impressive. In the first round, you must defeat three Tier Two Puppet Beasts on your own. Equivalent to defeating three Foundation Establishment cultivators."
"This is for the Spirit Stream Secret Realm qualification. Only three hundred slots for the entire thirteen sects of Yue Country."
"We aren’t among the thirteen sects of Yue Country, so we don’t even have a chance to participate in the selection."
Someone said sourly.
"Otherwise, can any sect or family, or loose cultivator, just go up for selection? Who told you not to be able to join the thirteen sects."
Inside the square, participating Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yue Country, whether envious, excited, anxious, or worried.
At this time.
In a private room of a restaurant outside the square.
A young cultivator dressed in blue looked out towards the white jade arenas.
Then, he bid farewell to a masked female cultivator in black robes behind him.
"Fellow Daoist Li, I must go in."
"If I don’t come out, wait for me for some days at the inn."
Li Ruyi nodded slightly, "Alright. I await good news from Fellow Daoist Shen."
This time, Shen Xuan using the alias Shen Ruochen, was a fire technique Foundation Establishment disciple of Taiyi Sect.
Taiyi Sect’s name is prominent, their strength rated mid-to-lower in the thirteen sects of Yue Country.
Only their sect leader is a Golden Core True Master.
Shen Xuan took an introduction letter to the sect leader of Taiyi Sect, claiming to be a Pill Master Shen from Yan Country.
He took out a Life-Extending Pill to exchange for a slot to participate in the Spirit Stream Secret Realm selection.
A mere Life-Extending Pill didn’t attract the sect leader of Taiyi Sect.
But when Shen Xuan added three Life-Extending Pills.
The sect leader of Taiyi Sect became interested.
Three Life-Extending Pills can approximately extend a Fake Pill True Master’s lifespan by twenty years.
Worth three million Spirit Stones.
Enough to buy off a Fake Pill True Master, thereby subduing a Fake Pill cultivation clan.
The sect leader of Taiyi Sect looked at Shen Xuan with a complex expression.
This self-proclaimed Third Tier Alchemist from Yan Country seeking fortune for a younger generation.
His strength is definitely not as simple as an ordinary pill master.
Ultimately, the two reached an agreement.
The sect leader of Taiyi Sect proposed three conditions.
In the Spirit Stream Secret Realm, life and death are not accounted for.
The descendants of Pill Master Shen must not attack Taiyi Sect’s disciples. If possible, they should help.
If feasible, do not kill any cultivator from Yue Country.
The first two conditions Shen Xuan agreed to immediately.
The last one, Shen Xuan promised.
His descendants will not actively strike, and will not kill unless absolutely necessary.
Taiyi Sect has eighty secret realm selection slots.
Giving up one would not harm.
...
Shen Xuan verified his identity and walked into the square.
At this moment, the square was densely packed, gathered with thousands of people.
More than half of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the entire Yue Country had come.
Shen Xuan thought for a moment.
Still, he walked towards the gathering place of Taiyi Sect.
"Senior Brother Shen, here!"
A bright woman waved to Shen Xuan.
She was Tang Roulan, a water cultivator and descendant of the sect leader of Taiyi Sect.
After reaching the deal.
The sect leader of Taiyi Sect made a personal request.
If you encounter Tang Roulan in the Spirit Stream Secret Realm, please have Shen Xuan’s descendant look after her.
While staying at Taiyi Sect under the alias Shen Ruochen.
Tang Roulan was quite enthusiastic towards him.
It wasn’t about romantic feelings.
Just purely friendly interactions.
Shen Xuan speculated.
Tang Roulan learned about his identity from the sect leader of Taiyi Sect.
A descendant of a Third Tier Alchemist.
His mastery in the Alchemy Dao reached Tier Two Upper Grade.
Shen Xuan gifted Tang Roulan a handwritten Tier Two water technique alchemy inheritance.
Tang Roulan cherished it as a treasure.
"Senior Brother Shen, I drew a lot for you."
Tang Roulan said happily.
"What number?"
"Number eight."
