Li Yan listened to the other party's narration with his eyes flickering constantly. After Yu Banjiang finished speaking, he spoke again.
"In that case, the real price of the 'Immortal Liquid' may not be worth 400,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
Li Yan looked at Yu Banjiang.
"Maybe, but the price is basically the same in the entire fairy world. Even in other realms, it's only higher than here."
Yu Banjiang also smiled, he knew what Li Yan meant. The other party had already seen through some of the tricks, that is, these sects in the fairy world deliberately raised the price of "Immortal Fluid" very high.
Make the ascending monks from the lower realm unable to buy it, and then recruit some "thugs" for yourself.
Given Yu Banjiang's cultivation level, he was not too clear about this, but he also had this idea, but so what? Whether in the world of immortal cultivation or the world of mortals, it has always been like this, the rules set by the strong.
"Then fellow Daoist, can you help me solve this puzzle? How many realms are there in the Immortal Spirit Realm? And how big are the realms?"
Li Yan did not continue asking questions on that topic, but asked other questions.
"Hehehe... Daoist friend, have you ever heard of the name of your own sect in the upper realm? Maybe I know it, but I can't say for sure."
"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am just an independent cultivator. If I had a sect to rely on, I wouldn't know so little about the situation in the fairy world."
Li Yan sighed. After Yu Banjiang heard it, his expression remained the same. Of course, he didn't believe it in his heart, but the other party was afraid that he and his sect were hostile, so in most cases, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, he did not care, because they all knew that the two sects that were most hostile to the "Pojun Sect" were all founded by their ancestors, who were native cultivators of the Immortal Realm.
If it is related to the lower realm, it means that the other sect has recruited ascended monks from the lower realm in the past or is currently recruiting them, and my master and others may have fought with them.
After listening to the questions raised by Li Yan, Yu Banjiang answered them immediately. These were not secrets to them.
If Li Yan wanted to know the news, he could find out quickly by just going out and asking around after he recovered from his injuries.
“The Immortal Spirit Realm is divided into four realms, namely: the Northern Pastoral Realm, the Main Dao Realm, the Cang Xuan Realm, and the Sacrifice Realm. The realm we are in is the Northern Pastoral Realm.
Each of these four realms can only be reached through a cross-domain teleportation formation. If a cultivator relies on flying across on his own, even an old monster in the fusion stage would take five to six hundred years to fly from one side to the other.
But this is not the main reason. The reason why it is impossible to fly across is that there is chaotic power between each realm that even Mahayana monks are afraid of.
It is said that this kind of power originated from the beginning of the universe. Any cultivator below the Mahayana stage who came into contact with it would be extremely deadly. It has almost become an absolute death forbidden zone.
The cross-realm teleportation formations between each realm were built by great Mahayana monsters who were proficient in the laws of space and time.
Usually, this kind of super cross-domain teleportation array is set up in the four directions near the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest edges of each domain.
I heard that the spirit stones used for teleportation must be calculated in top-grade spirit stones. It is said that one person needs fifty top-grade spirit stones for one teleportation. Of course, I have only heard about this."
Yu Banjiang quickly told some information. As for the things in this realm, small cultivators of their level only knew the general idea and not too much.
But when Li Yan heard these words, his heart was already in turmoil.
Regardless of whether what Yu Banjiang said was true or false, based on the knowledge of a Jindan cultivator, he always mentioned people in the Fusion Stage and Mahayana Stage.
In the lower realm, except for the core disciples of some top sects, the cultivators of small sects are not aware of this division of cultivation levels.
Yu Banjiang opened his mouth and said, a realm is so vast that an old monster in the combined state would need to fly for five or six hundred years from one side to the other. Wouldn't a Nascent Soul cultivator die flying and never reach the end
Moreover, a Jindan mentioned some kind of chaotic power. Even Li Yan himself had never heard of this kind of power.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, how far is Pojunmen from the nearest cross-border formation?"
"It's very far away. For a Yuanying to fly there, his life span is definitely not enough.
If we use the ultra-long-distance teleportation array within the realm continuously, it is estimated that it will take nearly two hundred years to teleport there day and night.
There is a large cross-domain formation in the south, and the cross-domain teleportation formations in the other three directions are even farther away from my "Pojun Gate"! "
After hearing Li Yan's question, Yu Banjiang's heart moved. He felt that Li Yan must belong to a sect in the upper realm because of such a question.
Moreover, the other party should also know which realm it is in, but from the looks of it, it should not be in the Northern Pastoral Realm, which makes him feel more at ease.
For cultivators like Li Yan, once they ascend to heaven, they will end up in a realm that is not the same as their own sect in the upper realm, and basically they will not be able to survive there.
Unless he could cultivate to at least the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm and possess a large amount of wealth, he would not dare to have such an idea.
Otherwise, if a Jindan cultivator took a spiritual stone that could be used for cross-border teleportation, he would probably be devoured before he even got to the destination, without leaving even a bone.
In fact, the safest way is to cultivate to the fusion stage. The cultivation level in the late stage of the refining void stage, even if it is infinitely close to the fusion stage, is still not good enough.
Once people find out that you are teleporting across domains, the result will be death in 7 out of 8 cases out of 10, but at least you will be guaranteed a certain level of cultivation.
The fact that Li Yan asked this meant that he would not leave the Northern Pastoral Realm until he reached the late stage of the Void Refining Realm. Yu Banjiang suddenly felt even more delighted.
It is unknown how long it will take for a person to cultivate to the realm of refining emptiness, let alone reaching the later stage, which may not even be achieved in a lifetime.
Their sect was currently in a state where there were only two Nascent Soul cultivators, one of whom was his master. Such a sect could only be considered a fourth-rate sect in the Immortal Spirit World.
And Yu Banjiang's master's life span is not long. Yu Banjiang himself is also at the end of his rope. He has failed in his first two attempts to reach the Nascent Soul stage. If he fails again, there is a great chance that he will die.
And his master will also run out of lifespan in three hundred years. Given his master's current condition, there is little hope for him to reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
Currently, the remaining disciples in the sect only have a 10% to 20% chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Yu Banjiang wanted to recruit a powerful cultivator to be an elder for the sect before he could reach the Nascent Soul stage himself.
Otherwise, the Pojun Sect might not even be a fourth-rate sect in the future, and could only fall to the bottom of the list.
As for the combat capability of the monks from the lower realm, they had heard about it for a long time. No matter in terms of combat capability or background, they were undoubtedly the more suitable candidates.
After listening to Yu Banjiang's words, Li Yan's heart moved slightly. He knew the location of the Five Immortals Gate. It seemed to be in the Cang Xuan Realm, which was not the realm he was in now.
According to Yu Banjiang, with Li Yan's current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to get through.
However, Li Yan did not want to join any sect. After practicing for a few days, the damage to his sea of consciousness was far beyond his expectations.
Now he is not sure whether he can gather enough spiritual consciousness to open the "Earth Spot" within a year. If that happens, he will not be able to come up with enough spirit stones.
Moreover, Li Yan had many unclear ideas about the situation in the fairy world. When his spiritual sense was almost unusable, although he still retained some combat power, he was undoubtedly like a blind man.
Once he is outside, even if he is spied on, he will be unaware of it, and that would simply put himself in the most dangerous situation.
The best way, of course, is to find a relatively safe place, take out the "True Essence Pill" as soon as possible, and restore one's cultivation, or at least one's sea of consciousness.
Seeing that Li Yan had fallen into deep thought again, Yu Banjiang hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly again.
"Friend Li, there is actually another way to obtain the 'Immortal Liquid', but it is the lowest choice. It is best not to choose it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Oh? There are other methods, but you didn't tell me just now. Is there anything special?"
Li Yan, who was thinking quickly in his mind, looked at Yu Banjiang again with a hint of surprise on his face, but he quickly thought of some reasons.
"That's right. The third option is that after the monks from the lower realm ascend, some people are unwilling to be bound by the sect. After all, entering any sect is not for no reason but to serve you..."
At this point, Yu Banjiang smiled. Li Yan had no objection and nodded.
No sect would invite an ancestor back to be worshipped, so of course we have to step forward when something happens.
However, the passage is used as a shield, blocking the sect's cultivators of the same level and being the first to fight with others.
“Those cultivators who are unwilling to be bound, when their wealth is not enough to support the purchase of the ‘Immortality Liquid’, will go to the ‘Heavenly Demon Grassland’ to hunt the high-level demon beasts there.
Generally speaking, if you can hunt three to five fourth-level monsters in a year, you may be able to raise enough money to pay for it. The specific number of spirit stones you get depends on the type of monster you hunt and the integrity of its carcass... "
Li Yan listened and analyzed in his mind.
"Hunting down monsters of the same level, and at least three of them, is too difficult..."
This was not an injury, but a kill, and it was a kill without destroying the opponent's body.
The Nascent Souls of monsters above level four can also teleport away. Before Li Yan was injured, he didn't dare to say how confident he was.
Once poison is used, the corpse material will not be of much use and cannot be sold at any price.
“… Therefore, there are actually very few monks who actually go to the ‘Demon Grassland’ alone. In most cases, they will choose to join a hunting team.
That way you can use the power of others to increase the chance of killing monsters, while also being able to better protect yourself.
However, since they are traveling together as a small team, the number of people usually ranges from five to twenty, and the benefits finally obtained will be divided according to strength, so the actual number of spirit stones that can be obtained is uncertain.
No matter whether you go alone or join someone else's team, apart from losing your personal freedom, there is no guarantee that you will get the spirit stones you need within a year.
After a cultivator appears in the 'Heavenly Demon Grassland', he becomes the common enemy of all the monsters. Even if your target is not him, they may attack him in a group after seeing him!
Especially the team composed of Nascent Soul cultivators, they want to go deeper into the "Heavenly Demon Grassland". A hunting team will often disappear completely after a few years.
But even so, it cannot be denied that hunting monsters is one of the ways to quickly accumulate spirit stones."
Yu Banjiang stopped talking here. He was quite sincere.
After listening to this, Li Yan finally gave him a bitter smile.
“But, fellow Daoist, you don’t know Li’s specific situation!
Since Fellow Daoist Yu saved me and told me so much, I might as well tell you that my injuries are not as minor as they appear.
If I join your sect, even if I use the 'Immortality Liquid', I will have to go into seclusion to recuperate immediately, and for a long time, I may not be able to help the sect.
I am not sure how long this period of time will be. I hope that you can understand this situation!"
… …
Half an hour later, a young man in a yellow robe, who was younger than Yu Banjiang, appeared in the room where Li Yan was.
The young man in the yellow robe has a handsome appearance, and his every move gives people a sense of elegance and lightness.
As Li Yan's consciousness was damaged, he was unable to sense the other party's realm of cultivation, but he could still sense that the other party was a strong man just by the vague pressure he exuded.
"This must be Fellow Daoist Li, right? I am Shangguan Tianque, Banjiang's master. I would like to congratulate you on your ascension to the immortal world, hehe..."
As he spoke, the yellow-robed young man's spiritual sense swept towards Li Yan.
