NOVEL WEB Chapter 297: Divine Edge Refining
Li Qian left the underground cave world and arrived at the exit to meet with Master Brother Xiao He.
"Little Junior Brother, have you already refined it?"
Master Brother Xiao He asked.
"Yes, it's almost refined."
Li Qian nodded and said.
"Then let's go out."
Master Brother Xiao He nodded.
The two immediately stepped into the exit teleportation gate and disappeared.
The outside world.
The two emerged from the teleportation gate into the management hall, taking out their storage devices for inspection by the managing disciples, primarily to prevent anyone from hunting Xing General.
As for other gains... they were not concerned with those.
In Li Qian's storage bag, there were only some spiritual medicines he had casually found in the Xingjiang Secret Realm, and nothing else.
However, when the managing disciple sensed the Earth Spirit Pearl in Master Brother Xiao He's storage device, he was astonished.
That was worth a few hundred immortal crystals, after all.
Finding such a good thing in the Xingjiang Secret Realm was just incredibly lucky.
Generally, the secret realms that require checking storage devices are only a part, set up specifically to protect certain spiritual beasts or rare spiritual medicines.
Most secret realms do not have this rule.
The two successfully left the management hall, then entered another transmission array, returned to Liwei Immortal City, and from there used the transmission array to return to the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
"Little Junior Brother, thank you so much for your help this time. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to obtain this Earth Spirit Pearl... Please, take these immortal crystals."
Master Brother Xiao He took out a Qiankun Bag again, intending to give it to Li Qian.
"Senior Brother, there's no need. I also gained quite a lot this time."
Li Qian waved his hand.
The Xing General's armor was secondary; the celestial cactus was truly the priceless treasure.
If he hadn't agreed to help Master Brother this time, he wouldn't have had such a great opportunity.
"Little Junior Brother, I'll head back first to prepare for my cultivation breakthrough."
Seeing this, Master Brother Xiao He could only retract the Qiankun Bag, feeling he got a good deal.
"Then, let me first congratulate Senior Brother on breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Earth Immortal."
Li Qian immediately said.
Once Senior Brother breaks through to the Fourth Layer, the subsequent Fifth and Sixth Layers will become much easier.
However, progressing from the Sixth to the Seventh Layer is much more challenging.
Uncle Master He has been stuck at the Sixth Layer of Earth Immortal for some time.
"Haha, let's hope so."
Master Brother Xiao He nodded.
Although the Earth Spirit Pearl indeed increases the chances, he wasn't entirely confident about breaking through this bottleneck.
If even the Earth Spirit Pearl couldn't help him break through, his future would probably be limited.
Li Qian also returned to his abode and entered the Chenzhong Cave Heaven, where he gazed at the unformed giant celestial cactus, a smile appearing on his face.
He must begin refining it before the celestial cactus forms, as this will make integrating it into himself easier once it does form.
If the celestial cactus fully forms, it would instead develop an immortal nature, making refinement more difficult.
Thinking of this, Li Qian moved into the giant celestial cactus, seating himself cross-legged, and began communicating with the cactus using his own Dao Rhythm...
After a long while, he opened his eyes and flicked his fingers; suddenly, the Chen Bell not far away emitted a clear chime, echoing throughout the grotto heaven.
The unformed giant celestial cactus seemed to resonate with the bell's chime, shaking violently, and the strange liquid within its stone body suddenly boiled, causing the entire cactus to exude a faint gloss.
Li Qian's Dao Rhythm consciousness seized the opportunity to invade...
So, another ten days passed.
Apart from regular cultivation, comprehending Dao Rhythm, understanding Array, and tending to spirit plants, Li Qian devoted the remaining time and energy to refining the celestial cactus.
Stimulated by the Chen Bell's chimes, Li Qian found it much easier to refine the celestial cactus.
Moreover, he felt that the celestial cactus, under the stimulation of the chimes, fostered vitality and accelerated its formation.
Now he had a subtle connection with the cactus.
This indicated that his refinement had achieved some effect.
Exiting the Chenzhong Cave Heaven, Li Qian picked up two paper kites outside his abode.
One was from Master Brother Xiao He.
He had broken through to the Fourth Layer of Earth Immortal a few days ago.
The other was from his master, the Hall Master Tianlan.
Li Qian immediately left his abode.
The great hall was empty.
His master wasn't there.
Just as Li Qian was about to leave, Master Brother Xiao He suddenly came in.
"Little Junior Brother."
"Senior Brother, where is Master?"
Li Qian asked.
"Master left the Immortal Sect three days ago for the Samsung Mountains."
Master Brother Xiao He said, looking a bit solemn.
"What did he go to the Samsung Mountains for?"
Li Qian was very surprised.
He knew that the Samsung Mountains were considered a forbidden zone for cultivators, containing numerous opportunities but also significant risks.
Many seek fortune in the Samsung Mountains, but those who perish are countless, although, indeed, many also gain opportunities.
"I heard that our Yuhua Immortal Sect had a conflict with the Supreme Mysterious Immortal Sect in the Samsung Mountains, and the sect has already gathered a large number of experts there."
Master Brother Xiao He said.
The specific origin of the conflict was not mentioned by Master, so he didn't know either.
After all, conflicts between two Immortal Sects involve things that servant disciples cannot engage with; only Immortal Register Disciples have such rights.
Unless the conflict expanded, causing a full-scale war between the two sects, would servant disciples possibly be drawn in.
"So that's how it is."
Li Qian looked surprised.
Even though conflicts between sects are inevitable, hearing Brother's words, it seemed like this conflict was quite large in scale.
