Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 84 The Secret Realm of Danling
After exchanging a few words with Sun Tang, Su You stopped talking and waited quietly.

Everyone inside the cave waited patiently, without a trace of impatience. Even a disciple of Sun Tang's status and background could only treat Zhao Qing with utmost respect.

After waiting for two hours, a middle-aged man dressed in an orange-red robe and with a robust physique walked out.

Su You and the others could faintly smell the medicinal fragrance emanating from the cave, and even a trace of it made his magical power feel restless.

"I wonder what kind of pill it is, to have such power," Su You wondered curiously.

He didn't know much about high-level pills, since the Void Heaven Sect controlled high-level inheritances very strictly, and they weren't something you could just exchange for whenever you wanted.

Unless his current alchemy skills reach the second-tier high-grade level, he will be able to go to the sect to exchange for a portion of the third-tier alchemy inheritance.

"I was just waiting for the pills to be ready, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Zhao Qing smiled, appearing very kind and approachable.

"Are you wondering why I've summoned you all here?" Zhao Qing didn't mince words and said directly, "You are all alchemy geniuses from the Void Heaven Sect, so I need you to help me obtain an item in the Pill Spirit Secret Realm ten years from now. Whoever succeeds will not only be accepted as my disciple, but I will also provide him with all the resources he needs to cultivate until he reaches the Golden Core stage, including the treasures and secret techniques for forming the Golden Core, until he successfully forms his Golden Core."

Taking on apprentices? Providing all resources up to the Golden Core stage?
The cultivators inside the cave looked at each other, unsure of the situation in the Pill Spirit Secret Realm or the items Zhao Qing wanted them to retrieve.

However, the conditions Zhao Qing offered for accepting disciples were already incredibly tempting to them, not to mention that he would provide all the resources needed before reaching the Golden Core stage.

It's important to understand that Zhao Qing's offer wasn't just about providing a small amount of resources. If the other party failed in their attempt to form their core, Zhao Qing would continue to provide the corresponding resources until they succeeded.

This price cannot be settled with a few million spirit stones; only a master alchemist like Zhao Qing would be so confident in offering such a condition.

Otherwise, there would be nowhere to buy resources like the Golden Core.

The fact that the other party paid such a high price means that this task was extremely difficult and not something that could be easily completed.

Su You hesitated slightly. If he were to explore the secret realm, there would be a risk of death, although he was not afraid of death.

However, if they die in the secret realm, the twin clones' identities in the Void Heaven Sect will be wasted.

The twin clones have a clean identity within the Void Heaven Sect and possess excellent spiritual roots. As long as they cultivate to the late Foundation Establishment stage and complete the corresponding tasks, they can become true disciples and have higher authority within the sect.

If it's just for this reason, then it's definitely something to hesitate about.

The twin clones serve two purposes within the Void Heaven Sect: one is to ensure absolute safety, and the other is to gain access to higher-level cultivation knowledge.

Fortunately, before Su You could make a decision, Sun Tang next to him asked, "Is it that inheritance secret realm that opens only once every hundred years, the Pill Spirit Secret Realm?"

Zhao Qing nodded, seemingly noticing everyone's hesitation, and explained, "Yes, this Danling Secret Realm is a heritage secret realm, so you don't need to worry about safety."

A secret realm of inheritance?

Su You immediately asked Xiao Bei to search, and they quickly found the relevant information.

This information was recorded in a classic text of the Xutian Sect. It only briefly mentioned the Inheritance Secret Realm without providing much explanation.

However, these secret realms are generally used to select inheritors and impart relevant knowledge, so entering this type of secret realm is not very dangerous. However, one must possess the corresponding knowledge; otherwise, one will enter empty-handed and may not even receive any inherited knowledge.

Su You suddenly realized.

However, the Danling Inheritance Secret Realm that Zhao Qing mentioned must have some kind of restriction, otherwise why wouldn't he go in himself? Moreover, there are quite a few people in the sect whose alchemy skills are higher than theirs, yet he specifically chose to go in with these few people.

After confirming that it was safe, all six of them agreed.

“Very good. From now on, you will come here once a month, and I will explain the knowledge of alchemy to you. Whether you can learn anything depends on your comprehension.” Zhao Qing nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Elder Zhao." The alchemists all showed excited expressions.

Compared to the benefits that are not yet visible, the immediate gains are tangible. The instruction of a fourth-level alchemy master will definitely enable them to make rapid progress in their alchemy skills.

Without hesitation, Zhao Qing began lecturing, even taking out a pill furnace to refine second-tier pills while explaining them in detail.

As Su You listened to the other party's explanation, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he gained some insights into many of the difficulties in alchemy.

The day's lectures passed quickly. Zhao Qing put away the furnace and said, "That's all for today's lectures. From now on, it's up to you to understand and apply what you've learned to your daily alchemy."

……

Jade Spring Peak.

Su You sat upright in his cave, carefully controlling the earth fire to scorch the spiritual herbs in the alchemy furnace.

The divine sense continuously controlled the fusion speed and order of the spiritual herbs inside.

“According to Elder Zhao, this step of condensing the pill should be slightly modified…” Su You focused intently on controlling the condensation of the pill liquid.

A moment later, a fragrant aroma wafted from the alchemy furnace. Su You gently tapped the furnace, and five mid-grade, snow-white second-tier pills flew out.

"Indeed, if you try to learn by doing behind closed doors, I wonder how long it will take to grasp this point," Su You said with a slight sigh.

Su You's aptitude for alchemy was only so-so. He had spent millions of spirit stones to reach this level.

However, he practiced alchemy because he needed a way to make money in the Void Heaven Sect to cover up the fact that he had a lot of spirit stones.

Furthermore, if Su You's alchemy skills reach the third level, he can try to refine pills that enhance spiritual sense, which would be of great help to him.

Su You didn't have much information about the mission ten years from now. After all, he was a fake genius. Even if he wouldn't be exposed in the sect, he might be exposed in the secret realm, and the probability of him missing out on the rewards was very high.

However, Zhao Qing's lectures over these ten years are definitely not to be missed; this opportunity must be seized.
