Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 366 This World's Cage
A Qi Refining disciple like myself has a lifespan of at most two hundred years, and even with some life-extending methods, it's still no more than three hundred years.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are slightly better, but they're only around five or six hundred years old..."

At this point, Youquan's tone turned venomous, "Only those true disciples can freely enter and exit using the 'Node Jade Talisman,' plundering the world's bounty like harvesting crops! I, however..."

He suddenly fell silent.

"go on."

Xu Yunfan used his inner energy to transform into a fine needle and insert it into the elixir.

Youquan wailed as he confessed, "The Imperial Guard punished Hundred Desires Peak by barring them from receiving Realm Heaven missions for three years! I saved up contribution points for ten years to earn a spot in the Divine Martial Realm Heaven, and I originally intended to secretly harvest some martial artists' blood and energy to make up for the deficit..."

Xu Yunfan suddenly interrupted: "You're saying the Divine Martial Realm Heaven is a 'spot'?"

“Yes, yes!”

Youquan spoke faster, "Three thousand years ago, the Primordial Sect's Xuanyu True Lord seized this realm from the Boundary Sea and passed down the martial arts cultivation system, specifically for cultivating resources. It opens once every sixty years, and requires 1,500 contribution points to exchange for a passage jade token..."

He became somewhat smug when he mentioned the crucial point: "Does Your Excellency know? A ninth-realm martial artist in this realm can exchange three 'Blood Marrow Pills' in the sect's Hall of Merit! If one breaks through the shackles of the ninth realm and reaches what you call the Land Immortal Realm..."

The pill was suddenly crushed by Xu Yunfan's grip, and Youquan cried out in pain, changing his tune: "I deserve to die! But Jietian is originally a sect's pasture! Look at that Xuanhuang Qi..."

Xu Yunfan recalled the dragon vein energy that had been channeled into his body and said in a deep voice, "Explain yourself clearly."

"The Xuanhuang Qi is actually a product of the 'Dragon Raising Technique'!" Youquan shouted recklessly. "The Yuanshi Sect planted dragon vein seeds in various realms, allowing them to absorb the local fortune and grow. Once mature, disciples can harvest them... A medium-sized pasture like the Divine Martial Realm can produce at least ten 'Xuanhuang Dao Seeds'... Huh?!"

Youquan exclaimed in surprise, "What?! This small world secret realm is gone?!"

Ignoring Youquan's words, Xu Yunfan suddenly recalled the purple light in the Empress's pupils: "What kind of collusion does the Great Zhou royal family have with you?"

Youquan's words carried a hint of disdain: "My lord overestimates them. What right do they have to collude with us? That girl was merely chosen by me, which is why I bewitched him into refining my remains into a purple-gold pill, so..."

He suddenly lowered his voice: "If you are willing to let me go, I can tell you about the loopholes in the Divine Martial Realm! Before each harvest, the Primordial Sect releases 'turbid energy' to pollute the martial path, which is the Heavenly Demon you have seen! This turbid energy specifically destroys the true energy of martial artists. After you absorb this 'spiritual energy of heaven and earth' into your bodies, it pollutes the purity of your true energy, so the sect can easily harvest you..."

At this point, Youquan's tone shifted, tinged with resentment: "This witch's methods are quite similar to those of our Demonic Sect disciples. She actually used blood sacrifices on the people to raise the earth's veins ahead of time, releasing pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Although it's mixed, it's not polluted by our Yuanshi Sect..."

Youquan suddenly stopped talking and said no more, only stammering, "My lord, please let me go. I can tell you about the Dao Foundation of this Divine Martial Realm."

Xu Yunfan didn't respond at all, but just chuckled: "How could a so-called outer disciple like you know such secrets?"

The Purple Gold Pill trembled violently, and Youquan seemed to struggle: "Because...because my master is a deacon of the Hundred Desires Peak's Punishment Hall! He let it slip when he was drunk..."

Suddenly, a wisp of pink mist burst forth from within the pill, and Youquan's voice turned eerie: "My lord, how about we make a deal?"

In the mist, the phantom of a woman's body rippled like water, and the voice of Youquan carried a sticky, seductive quality: "Hundred Desires Peak possesses the 'Yin Yang Refining Form True Scripture,' which can help you transform the Ten Extremes True Qi into True Essence..."

The phantom, emboldened, lingered around Xu Yunfan like a woman caressing him, saying, "With your talent, once you leave this world, forging your Dao foundation will be a piece of cake..."

A cold glint flashed in Xu Yunfan's eyes. Without moving his sleeves, his pure Yang true energy evaporated the mist like the sun melting snow, causing Youquan to let out a miserable scream. He really didn't expect that Xu Yunfan was even immune to the bewitching technique.

"How is this possible?!" Xu Yunfan sneered. Youquan was a disciple of the Demonic Sect, so he was naturally cunning and treacherous. You could only believe half of what he said. This information was obtained under torture.

This world is a cage; to find a way to transcend it, one must start with the Nether Spring. Only by finding a way to leave this world and enter the so-called Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm will everything be possible.

He reached back and took something out of the receiver.

It was from the secret realm of the small world that he obtained the Primordial Token from Jiang Xu within the White Jade Palace.

The surface is etched with strange cloud patterns, and the two characters "元始" (Yuanshi) at the core glow with a blood-red light.

Do you recognize what this is?

"This is this?!"

The demonic energy of Youquan suddenly trembled violently, and a cry of alarm, like porcelain shattering, came from within the pill: "Yuanshi Ling! How could you..." The voice stopped abruptly, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Purple Gold Pill.

After three breaths of deathly silence, just as Xu Yunfan was about to crush the Purple Gold Pill, Youquan finally hissed, "The one who holds this token may enter the Yuanshi Sect's mountain gate and become a disciple of the thirty-six peak masters..."

After Youquan finished speaking, as if he had figured something out, the black mist suddenly became lively, even carrying a hint of flattery: "Now that you have the token, Senior Brother, you are one of us! Why don't you help Junior Brother complete this harvest? When we return to the mountain gate to hand over the goods, Senior Brother will definitely be credited with the top merit in the merit book!"

The demonic mist within the elixir condensed into a hand shape, waving it as if in a gesture of respect: "Of the thirty thousand cauldrons stored in the Hundred Desires Peak treasury, there are both men and women, and even the 'Taiyi Qingming Record' in the Scripture Pavilion, Junior Brother can act as a matchmaker for Senior Brother..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yunfan suddenly clenched his fingers, and the pill groaned as if it could not bear the weight.

"Explain the harvesting mechanism clearly."

Xu Yunfan ignited pure Yang fire at his fingertips, "If there is a single falsehood... I will make your soul fly away and your spirit be scattered."

"I said!"

Youquan screamed in agony. Under the threat of death, he dared not hide anything any longer. He could clearly sense Xu Yunfan's undisguised killing intent; the other party truly intended to annihilate him completely.

“Every sixty-year harvest season, the disciple holding the token can receive three ‘Mysterious Yellow Seeds’! After planting them in the Realm Heaven, we will not be ostracized by the Realm Heaven’s Dao, and thus we can harvest the ninth-realm warriors of this Realm Heaven…”

Xu Yunfan understood, but felt a tightness in his chest. The world he had traveled to was actually a breeding ground for a demonic sect, where they harvested the fruit as cultivation resources.

What are you best at?

Seeing that Xu Yunfan was neither sad nor happy, and his face was expressionless, Youquan hurriedly replied, "Absorption and replenishment, that is what I am good at."

"The art of sexual cultivation?"

Xu Yunfan suddenly activated his pure Yang energy, and the phantom screamed and dissipated.

The Nether Spring itself cried out in terror, "Stop! I still have value! I've received word that the Primordial Sect will launch its 'harvest' in three days, and at that time, true disciples at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining will descend! I know their weaknesses..."

Xu Yunfan tossed the Purple Gold Pill into the air, and his Ten Extremes True Qi transformed into a furnace: "No need."

(There should be more, I'm still writing...)
