Chapter 423: Chapter 219: Spirit-Storage Yin Pill, Infighting Within the Immortal City

The function of the Spirit-Storage Yin Pill is similar to that of the Realm-Breaking Pill, which is to break through minor realms. One Spirit-Storage Yin Pill is enough to allow you to break through from the Middle Stage to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment without any barrier, but it has a fundamental difference from the Realm-Breaking Pill.

The Realm-Breaking Pill increases realm levels by squeezing, tapping potential, and overdrawing inner reserves. If the foundations are deep, that’s fine. If not, one Realm-Breaking Pill is enough to make one’s cultivation halt for life. But the Spirit-Storage Pill is different; its function is to enhance the foundations, nourish the Spirit Root, and increase potential. With these three aspects combined, breaking through with this pill can actually allow one to progress further.

Just this one pill, given the foundations of your Earth Yang Dao Foundation, not only can it allow you to break through to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment and reach Foundation Establishment Perfection without obstacles, but it can also greatly increase your chances of succeeding in achieving a Heterodox Golden Core."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jue had yet to speak, but his soul within first opened its mouth, with a tone full of surprise.

"I didn’t expect the Golden Core cultivators of Wind and Cloud Immortal City to have such skills, to actually snatch this Spirit-Storage Yin Pill from the hands of the Golden Core major influence in the Hundred Floating Domains. Even a Tier Three Alchemist cannot produce many of these pills because the Evil Yin Spiritual Medicine required to refine them is extremely scarce. So every time a Tier Three Yin Alchemist successfully refines a Spirit-Storage Yin Pill, it is immediately seized by those major forces. Those below the Golden Core don’t even have the privilege to hear of it. Ordinary Golden Core cultivators can only place bids for fun."

Feng Jue was surprised, yet before he could speak up, his inner soul continued, "Although this young man has somewhat exaggerated the medicinal efficacy, a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit-Storage Yin Pill can indeed facilitate a smooth breakthrough at the Late Stage and Perfection of Foundation Establishment. As for wanting to increase chances for a Heterodox Golden Core, it’s likely a Tier Three Spirit-Storage Yin Pill is needed. Han Li’s needs aren’t extremely urgent; you may as well take care of this matter first and obtain the Spirit-Storage Yin Pill."

Feng Jue nodded, feeling somewhat tempted by the soul within him, because the realm-breaking barrier is a nightmare for every cultivator. The Earth Yang Dao Foundation is powerful, but each of the Ten Great Heterodox Foundation Establishment cultivators has their own abilities, and the Earth Yang Foundation Establishment doesn’t possess an effect of breaking realms without barriers. Therefore, he previously needed Chen Li’s help to refine the Barrier-Breaking Pill.

At this moment, Daoist Wei spoke again, "Don’t worry, it’s no big deal. With your strength, you are more than capable of handling it, and this journey likely won’t end in a deadly battle. Besides, you can bring Li Mu along. If he performs well, I’ll speak to master to give him an opportunity to enter the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven using Immortal City Contribution Points."

Feng Jue promptly replied, "Senior brother, I have already mentioned this matter twice to Brother Li, yet he has no intention whatsoever."

"He has no interest in the Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven?" Daoist Wei didn’t mind Feng Jue revealing secrets of the Little Demon Realm. On the contrary, the better the relationship between Feng Jue and Li Mu, the more pleased he was, as capturing Li Mu would then be just a matter of time.

If potential were poor, even to the extreme, there might not even be hope of reaching the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment in this lifetime.

Yet upon entering the Middle Realm, one could instantly slay Li Ya.

This is something even the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment cannot achieve.

Therefore, such a person can indeed be utilized.

"Then tell him that if he performs well and serves Wind and Cloud Immortal City for another ten years, he could be given a Spirit-Storage Yin Pill." Daoist Wei transmitted the voice decisively, showing no hesitation to take out yet another Spirit-Storage Yin Pill.

Hearing this transmission, Feng Jue couldn’t help but secretly lament in his heart. Brother Han, with just a slight display of strength, gained such regard. If Daoist Wei knew Brother Han already had the means to kill any cultivator below the Fake Pill, one would wonder what his reaction would be.

Not right.

Brother Han is well-known to him, and he absolutely wouldn’t do something without assurance, capable of killing anyone below Fake Pill.

Does this not mean that Brother Han is already capable of confronting Fake Pill cultivators?

Oh my!

He forgot this point.

"Senior brother, I will inform Brother Li, but his nature is indifferent, and sometimes he’s even without desires, so whether he agrees or not is still uncertain." Feng Jue replied.

Daoist Wei nodded and did not speak further, instead changing the topic, "Prepare well; this is something to be done within the month. There will be three to five Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators acting with you."

"Senior brother, so many Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, what are you planning?" Feng Jue couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

Daoist Wei transmitted with a cold tone, "To destroy the cooperation between Vice City Lord Lin and the Three Life Gates, seize their goods, and completely cut off this trade route. I will not take action; Vice City Lord Lin has a similar amount of Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators available, but we have you on our side, which increases the chances of success."

Feng Jue was stunned.

The mission this time is internal conflict.

However, it doesn’t concern him. His goal is to utilize Wind and Cloud Immortal City to elevate himself and prepare for a Golden Core.

As for how Wind and Cloud Immortal City fares in the future, both he and Han Li probably don’t care nor have any interest.

"Senior brother, await our good news."

Feng Jue agreed with a cupped fist.

Afterwards, Daoist Wei didn’t say more, waved his hand, handing the Honored Guest Token to Feng Jue for him to see.

...

After leaving, Feng Jue went to the Enchanting Forest once more, with the purpose of asking Wen Jiu if he was still willing to act as Honored Guest.

Wen Jiu was waiting for this question, so he straightforwardly agreed. Daoist Wei upon learning this couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction. In his view, although Li Mu might be indifferent, he’s smart enough to understand he needs protection, and the only one who can protect him is himself.

Meanwhile, Feng Jue also informed Wen Jiu about the internal conflict matter, mentioning the goods and how many Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators would be participating. Wen Jiu was not foolish and understood the implication of Feng Jue’s words.

"Alright, then we shall work from the inside and outside together." Wen Jiu didn’t hesitate to agree, for some gains can be made, anyway, he wouldn’t leave the Little Demon Realm; it would be East Spring Undying Bone and the Five Ghosts going instead.

As for why to send the Five Ghosts, because Wen Jiu truly desired to consume the One-Eyed Armless Ghost King.

A tempting cake, not eating it would indeed be a crime.

After spending a moment discussing, Wen Jiu and Feng Jue decided to continue using the previous transmission method for passing messages. To draw Vice City Lord Lin’s attention, Wen Jiu used life divination to calculate the movements of Gu Qiao’s side. Feng Jue, upon returning to Lengxi Mountain, closed himself off for cultivation, going neither out of the main door nor through the secondary door.

As for how to evade Vice City Lord Lin’s sentries planted outside Lengxi Mountain and the Enchanting Forest, it would be Wen Jiu’s responsibility.

...

Half a month passed.

Within Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Vice City Lord Lin has already prepared the goods, fully loaded onto ten flying ships. The accompanying team numbers over a thousand, with three Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators leading, ready to head southward through the Wilderness, from the edge of the Far South to the Mortal Desolate Land, thereafter entering the Outer Sea of Celestial Demon.

"How is it?"

In Wind and Cloud Immortal City, Vice City Lord Lin stood at the city wall, watching the flying ships depart, silently inquiring those behind him.

Behind him, a Ghost Cultivator stood in the black shadow at the corner of the wall, seemingly non-existent, "Feng Jue and Li Mu’s subordinates have continuously sent people to monitor them, neither has left the Little Demon Realm. Aside from these two, other missing Late Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators are as you predicted, a total of five individuals.

The strongest is the seasoned late-stage cultivator from the Paperman lineage within the Little Demon Realm, Beauty Ji. The other four are Demon Cultivator Lv Shen from Nine Snakes Cave, the Joyful Puppet Master He Liu couple from Black Pond, and the Gu Cultivator Huyan Mo from Yin Demon Beach."

Vice City Lord Lin’s eyes and face were grave but without a trace of anxiety, "Those daring enough to side against me are only those people. Lv Shen and his ilk are not worth worrying over; however, Beauty Ji’s strength is nearing Foundation Establishment Perfection, necessitating caution, yet it’s of little concern.

Transmit the Ghost Technique message to that guy, if those five dare to come, just kill them. It’s fine to slaughter them all, without regard to whether they belong to Wind and Cloud Immortal City. Daoist Wei wants to disrupt my plans, but little does he know I’m also waiting for him to act.

As long as my senior brother is present, no matter how many late-stage cultivators die, Wind and Cloud Immortal City can still stand proudly within the Divine Fall Mountain Range. Daring to contend with me for the Yin Sha Evil Spirit, Daoist Wei truly dares to dream recklessly!

But there’s one point that’s somewhat regrettable, that Feng Jue and Li Mu show no signs of activity, seemingly unwilling to wade in these troubled waters..."
