29: Chapter 29

Chen Xuan said lightly, "May I ask what Medicinal Pill it is?"

"Revered Master!" Xiao Lingxian called softly.

Fairy Qiyue waved her hand and said, "It's fine. There's nothing secretive about this matter."

She turned her head to look at Chen Xuan above and said, "We need a sixth-grade elixir Yangyan Pill to ease the flames inside this girl's body. Otherwise, in two years, this girl's Physical Body will be completely consumed by the raging flames."

"And this Medicinal Pill can only be refined by the sixth-grade Alchemy Great Master Pill Saint Yun Shu in the Central Region. Coincidentally, Yun Shu once owed me a favor, so as long as I gather the Alchemy Materials, I can save this girl's life."

"You cannot save her," Chen Xuan's indifferent voice replied.

The Yangyan Pill was sold in the System mall. Chen Xuan had seen it before; this Medicinal Pill could only help people control ordinary flames, and it required long-term consumption.

However, the flames inside the red-clothed girl before him were not ordinary.

It was the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Fire, a heavenly fire capable of burning even Karma. How could a mere sixth-grade elixir control it?

Fairy Qiyue frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, why do you say that?"

Chen Xuan chuckled and waved his hand, "I am not doubting your determination or capability, but you have mistaken one thing."

"What is it?"

"The flames inside this girl are not ordinary flames. A mere sixth-grade elixir cannot help her control the flames within her body. Instead, she needs the saint-grade pill, the phoenix blood divine pill, to improve her Physique so that she will no longer suffer from the flames consuming her Physical Body."

Hearing this, Fairy Qiyue's pupils constricted, and she murmured, "A saint-grade pill?"

She immediately shook her head and denied, "Fellow Daoist, please don't jest. The highest grade of Medicinal Pill in this world is ninth-grade. Where does the term saint-grade pill come from?"

When she was alive, she had traveled across the Central Region, where stars gathered, and had never heard of any saint-grade pill.

Chen Xuan glanced at her. Here was another person whose knowledge was limited by their own cultivation base. "What if there truly is a saint-grade pill?"

Fairy Qiyue was stunned, then shook her head, "Impossible, there is absolutely no saint-grade pill..." She stopped halfway through her sentence. If it were the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in the Central Region, perhaps there really would be Medicinal Pills above the ninth-grade.

"Fellow Daoist, you mentioned that a saint-grade pill is required to help this girl improve her Physique. Do you know what Physique she possesses?" Fairy Qiyue stared intensely at Chen Xuan above with her beautiful eyes.

Chen Xuan laughed, "The Nine Phoenix Burning Heaven Physique. Nine Phoenix phantoms naturally appear within her body, with each Phoenix corresponding to a heavenly fire. When she gets emotional, the phantoms flap their wings, causing the Divine Fire of the Nine Heavens to pour forth. What is there not to know about this!"

Xiao Lingxian covered her cherry lips with her delicate hand, her face full of astonishment.

Fairy Qiyue gave a bitter smile and said, "Fellow Daoist is indeed knowledgeable. I underestimated you."

She now somewhat believed Chen Xuan's statement. Since the other party could see through her own Disciple's Physique with a single glance, then presumably what he said earlier was also correct.

She needed to take a saint-grade pill to improve this girl's Physique and help her control the heavenly fire within her body.

But how easy was it to find a saint-grade pill?

Even when she was alive, she had only encountered an eighth-grade elixir at most, and ninth-grade Medicinal Pills were only rumors heard from a few old monsters in the Central Region. Let alone the Saint Grade, which was above the ninth-grade.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Lingxian beside her, her expression low and her eyes filled with guilt.

Such a good child, why must she possess the legendary Nine Phoenix Burning Heaven Physique?

Xiao Lingxian pursed her lips tightly, her eyes moist. "Revered Master, your Disciple is fine. I am already very satisfied that I can still live for two years."

She forced a smile and, in turn, comforted Fairy Qiyue, saying, "Revered Master, since we don't need to look for the Yangyan Pill Materials right now, your Disciple can focus on helping you find the Materials to refine your Physical Body."

Fairy Qiyue's body trembled. It was only because she was currently just a Soul entity; otherwise, tears would have poured down like rain.

Chen Xuan watched the Revered Master and Disciple pair about to put on a tearful show, and he lightly coughed, saying, "You two don't need to be like this. It's just a mere saint-grade pill. While it might not be found elsewhere, it can certainly be found here in my Dao Seeking Sect."

Fairy Qiyue was startled, even suspecting she had misheard.

"Fellow Daoist, what did you say?"

Chen Xuan said calmly, "The prerequisite is that you can make enough contribution to my Dao Seeking Sect, comparable to the value of a single saint-grade pill."

A saint-grade pill!

The Dao Seeking Sect could actually produce a saint-grade pill. Fairy Qiyue's expression changed as if she were on a roller coaster.

In just a short moment, she had been shocked several times.

Her previous composure and calmness were completely gone, leaving only stunned bewilderment from being bombarded by shocking news.

At this moment, the handsome young man seated in the Sect Master position above made her feel terrified, recalling her previous assessment of him outside the Sect.

At this moment, Fairy Qiyue found it somewhat ridiculous.

She took a deep breath, her tone firm, and said, "May I ask what Senior wishes for us, Revered Master and Disciple, to do?"

Senior?

What was this Nascent Soul old granny imagining?

Chen Xuan was too lazy to think further and said lightly, "Don't worry about that for now. Didn't you say earlier that entering my Dao Seeking Sect was for two matters?"

"The first matter was finding a Medicinal Pill for this little girl, but how were you sure that my Dao Seeking Sect possessed that sixth-grade elixir?"

Fairy Qiyue replied, "Senior misunderstood. I did not come to your esteemed Sect to seek the pill. My original plan was to join your esteemed Sect and then find a way to obtain a spot in the Spirit Void Secret Realm."

"Within that Secret Realm, there are all sorts of Heaven And Earth Treasure, and there I could find the Materials for the Yangyan Pill."

She paused, adding, "The second matter is actually also related to the Spirit Void Secret Realm, but it is for finding the Materials needed to refine a Physical Body."

"Spirit Void Secret Realm?" Chen Xuan slightly raised an eyebrow. This was the first time he had heard this term.

Fairy Qiyue froze for a moment, observing Chen Xuan's expression with her beautiful eyes, and tentatively asked, "Does Senior not know about this Spirit Void Secret Realm?"

Chen Xuan did not answer, merely looking at the person and the ghost below, and said, "Tell me about it. Tell me what you know!"

Fairy Qiyue hesitated for a moment, then began to narrate slowly:

"This Spirit Void Secret Realm is said to have been left behind since the Ancient Era, and it opens once every twenty years."

"Inside the Secret Realm, Heaven And Earth Treasure are countless. Of course, opportunity comes with risk!

Two hundred years ago, there was a Golden Core Sword Cultivator in the Eastern Region who obtained a sixth-grade Magical Artifact within the Spirit Void Secret Realm.

After that, he carved out a reputation as the Sword Saint in the Central Region, a place where Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragons resided.

As Fairy Qiyue finished speaking, she noticed that this unfathomable Sect Master seemed increasingly uninterested the more he listened.

Especially when he heard about the sixth-grade Magical Artifact, he seemed somewhat disdainful.

This must be her illusion, right?

After all, that was a sixth-grade Magical Artifact, a Magic Treasure that even a Nascent Soul Stage Expert would covet.

Chen Xuan asked, "One cannot enter the Secret Realm directly; a spot is required?"

Fairy Qiyue explained, "Secret Realms like this, which possess Heaven And Earth Treasure, are highly sought after."

"In this Eastern Region, who can enter the Spirit Void Secret Realm is controlled by the Five Great Hegemon-level Forces."

"Only the affiliated forces of the five great Sects, as well as some Cultivators with high Realms, are granted spots to enter the Secret Realm."

Good heavens, the Cultivation world is also engaging in resource monopolization, huh?

Chen Xuan spat and scoffed at this.
