25: Zhenyang Sect

At this moment, Yan Xiaoji was still evolving. Li Ye felt a bit sleepy watching her, so he went back to sleep with Bai Jie.

There were two beds in the Immortal Cave, and it was his turn to sleep with Bai Jie tonight.

The Secret Realm would open in the afternoon, and he could go and scavenge for more resources then.

...

Time flew by quickly, and it was noon. Li Ye got up feeling refreshed. As a cultivator, he didn't actually need much sleep. Once he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, he might not need to sleep at all.

However, he was too tired from killing demons all night. He first checked the Pill Formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Foundation Establishment Pill Pill Formula required three Profound Ice Flowers, one Heavenly Spirit Fruit, one Illusion Heart Grass, and one Purple Monkey Flower.

Li Ye happened to have the Illusion Heart Grass and Heavenly Spirit Fruit, but he lacked the main ingredients: Profound Ice Flower and Purple Monkey Flower.

Therefore, his goal for going to the Secret Realm in the afternoon was to find Profound Ice Flower and Purple Monkey Flower.

Of course, the more Illusion Heart Grass and Heavenly Spirit Fruit, the better.

After all, with his Profound Rank Medium Grade Pill Furnace, the success rate for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was only 10%!

Without a Profound Rank Medium Grade Pill Furnace, it would probably be less than 3%!

So, refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was a long process.

Similarly, the collection of Low-Grade Spirit Stones could not stop.

Because to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Tenth Layer, he needed 5000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

And there were also Mind Gathering Pills and Wash Marrow Pills, and so on!

The higher the cultivation, the more resources were needed!

Li Ye sighed slightly.

He went outside to check on Yan Xiaoji.

At this moment, Yan Xiaoji was standing guard at the entrance, and she had already undergone a great transformation!

Her already tall stature had now reached over two meters, almost three meters!

And her distinctive red horns had grown very large.

Her figure was even more exaggerated.

Several Bai Jies combined couldn't compare to her immense size!

At the same time, what Li Ye found strange was that Yan Xiaoji's face had actually become somewhat attractive.

Originally, her appearance was only two or three points out of ten, but now it was at least four or five points.

[Detected a Second Order Low Grade Demon, Giant Flame Demon.]

Upon seeing Li Ye, Yan Xiaoji immediately knelt on one knee and said:

"Greetings, Master!"

Her voice was still hoarse.

But combined with her voluptuous figure, it had a unique charm.

"How do you feel now?"

"I feel much stronger..."

Yan Xiaoji thought for a moment and replied.

"Good, today you, I, and Er Mi will go to the Secret Realm together."

"Yes, Master."

Before heading to the First Order Secret Realm, Li Ye sought to purchase Profound Ice Flower and Purple Monkey Flower in the trade market.

When this news spread, everyone left comments.

Through this first week of the Peak Competition, everyone understood that Li Ye was a true big shot.

"Are these the Pill Formulas for Foundation Establishment Pills, Eternal Night Big Shot? I've never heard of them."

"It seems so. Eternal Night Big Shot received the first-place reward, and in the afternoon, he's already seeking these Spirit Medicines. With Eternal Night Big Shot's Alchemy skill, he'll eventually be able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

"I have Profound Ice Flower here. I wonder if 10 Low-Grade Spirit Stones per plant is acceptable."

"What are you thinking? Ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones for one flower?"

"..."

Li Ye continuously read the comments. He pondered for a moment; ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones for a Profound Ice Flower seemed not to be a loss. Profound Ice Flower was at least a Second Grade Spirit Medicine.

So, he spent some Spirit Stones to purchase the Spirit Medicines from those who had Profound Ice Flowers.

He happened to acquire enough for two portions.

[Refine Foundation Establishment Pill x2, proceed with refining?]

[Refine!]

[Obtained two Second Grade Waste Pills]

??

Li Ye curiously examined the Waste Pills. After some understanding, he realized that these were what he got after failing to refine a Second Grade Medicinal Pill.

For ordinary First Grade Medicinal Pills, if refining failed, nothing would be left.

However, for Second Grade and above Medicinal Pills, if refining failed, one could obtain a Waste Pill.

After consuming a Waste Pill, it could provide a certain amount of cultivation, but inevitably, it would also increase the Pill Poison in the body, which was something that ordinary Medicinal Pills would not cause.

[Consume Second Grade Waste Pill x1? Cultivation will increase from Qi Refining Ninth Layer 0% to 20%, and Pill Poison in the body will increase by 20. Proceed with consumption?]

"There's no Medicinal Pill to cure Pill Poison right now, so I'll pass for now."

Li Ye put away the two Waste Pills and headed west with Yan Xiaoji and Er Mi, preparing to go to the Secret Realm.

He had visited the Secret Realm three days ago, and it had just finished its cooldown.

The journey was quite safe until they approached the Secret Realm area and encountered a group of people.

There were eight to ten people in total, all men. They were holding Human Rank Medium Grade Spirit Swords and wearing ordinary Spirit Armor, with cultivation fluctuations around the Third to Fourth Layer.

As the two sides met, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

However, it should have been them who were tense.

After all, Li Ye's Yan Xiaoji was over two meters tall and radiated a strong aura.

Both sides fell into a brief and eerie silence.

Li Ye looked at them coldly, breaking the stalemate.

"Where are you going, and what do you need to do?"

So many people moving in such a grand manner must be heading somewhere, a place that might hold an Opportunity or some treasure.

One of the shorter men among them shouted:

"Who are you? We are from the Zhenyang Sect! The Zhenyang Sect is the number one Sect in the 47th small region. Why should we tell you?"

The next second, the leader chimed in:

"Brother, you must also be here for the Secret Realm ahead. Let me tell you, the Secret Realm belongs to the capable. Our Zhenyang Sect's base is built right next to that Secret Realm. Now, that Secret Realm has become the property of our Zhenyang Sect. If you want to enter, you must join the Zhenyang Sect."

Li Ye frowned tightly.

So, this group of people was planning to enter the Secret Realm in full force.

And they had even established their own Sect. It seemed the Sect Master of this Zhenyang Sect had some brains, knowing to occupy this Secret Realm.

But how did they determine that this Secret Realm only had one entrance?

"What if I insist on forcing my way in?"

Li Ye smiled and said.

"Then you will be an enemy of our Zhenyang Sect."

"Then I'm relieved... Yin Wind Swordplay."

Li Ye said coldly.

The next moment, streaks of Yin Wind appeared around him, and seven Spiritual Qi formed seven Spirit Swords.

Under the horrified gazes of the people in front, the seven Spirit Swords unleashed a total of 49 Sword Qi, slicing all the people in front into pieces!

Li Ye resorted to killing because he understood that this Secret Realm had been coveted by the Zhenyang Sect.

But he also needed to visit it every three days, so conflicts were inevitable. It was better to nip the problem in the bud to avoid future trouble.

[Obtained Low-Grade Spirit Stone x1860]

[Obtained Human Rank Medium Grade Spirit Sword x9]

[Obtained Human Rank Medium Grade Spirit Armor x8]

[Obtained Human Rank Medium Grade Spirit Sword Blueprint x1]

[Obtained Human Rank Medium Grade Spirit Armor Blueprint x1]

[Obtained...]

After cleaning up the area,

Li Ye arrived in front of the Secret Realm.

He saw many stone houses built in front of the Secret Realm. People should be living inside these houses. Clearly, someone intended to establish a force here. This should be the territory of the Zhenyang Sect.
