Chapter 759: Snobbery Is Everywhere

Theoretically and empirically, when a spiritual alchemist reaches the eighth level, he can try to refine immortal pills. Although there is a high probability of failure, if there is an immortal-level pill furnace and immortal-level fire, there will be a certain chance of success.

Once the success rate of refining immortal pills can reach 30%, it means that the spiritual alchemist who refines immortal pills has directly crossed the gap between spiritual alchemists and immortal alchemists and become a first-level immortal alchemist, that is, a first-level pill king.

Wu Yan learned from the jade slip that the first layer of the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area, most of the plants growing there are spiritual herbs and spiritual tree fruits. Only in a very few places with natural restrictions or some powerful magic arrays arranged by humans, there will be some first-level immortal herbs.

Those first, second and third-level immortal herbs should be in the second-level forbidden area, while the fourth, fifth, sixth and even higher-level immortal herbs are naturally in the third layer.

As everyone was chatting, Wu Yan naturally asked why there were realm restrictions in the forbidden area. Unexpectedly, although Zhou Dang's cultivation was not very good, he was actually a know-it-all and told Wu Yan a lot of information.

Rumor has it that there are five levels in the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area. However, since the discovery of the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area, no one has ever opened the fifth level of the forbidden area. And the fourth level of the forbidden area has only been opened once.

That time, it was the city lord of Lingxu City, Yang Shan, who had reached the perfect realm of the initial stage of fusion and could not break through. In desperation, he united the four highest cultivation masters in Lingxu Land at that time, and the only seventh-level formation master in Lingxu Land, Dugu Jingqiu. The six people worked together to break the formation of the fourth level of the forbidden area, and then broke in to seize several seventh-level fairy grasses and one eighth-level fairy grass.

It was also because of that powerful breaking of the ban that caused some terrible natural bans in the entire Lingxu Medicine Valley Forbidden Land to be triggered, making it impossible for cultivators above the Spiritualization Stage to enter the Lingxu Medicine Valley Forbidden Land. Once they broke in, the Lingxu Medicine Valley Forbidden Land would be descended by extremely terrible destructive fog, which would directly devour and destroy the cultivators in the Void Refining Stage.

Just as everyone was sitting and chatting, many cultivators walked into the hall one after another. Judging from their messy clothes, these people were not from the Alchemist Alliance. As soon as these people entered the exchange hall, they walked straight to the high platform in the center.

At this time, all the chatting spiritual alchemists stopped talking involuntarily, pretending to be cold on their faces, but there was a hidden extremely eager expression in their eyes, quietly looking at the cultivators coming in from the high platform.

Obviously, these people are the employers who are about to come here to hire alchemists.

Wu Yan also looked at the high platform with curiosity. However, he was soon disappointed. The highest level of these people who came here was only the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage, and many of them were only at the Nascent Soul Stage.

I think these people should not be from the four major third-level sects. After these people sat down on the rows of seats on the high platform, their eyes began to directly scan the spiritual alchemists in the five communication areas on the four sides below.

Wu Yan's judgment was indeed very accurate. These people's eyes swept through the area of ​​the sixth-grade spiritual alchemists, and almost did not stop at all before turning to other areas.

At this time, the eight or nine spiritual alchemists in the sixth-grade spiritual alchemist area all showed extremely disappointed expressions. At this moment, they seemed to realize where the problem was, and the previous excitement was gone.

Wu Yan had expected this situation a long time ago, and he was not surprised at all at this moment, and there was no loss on his face. However, in order to make the plan of plundering the immortal grass in the Lingxu Medicine Valley more secure, Wu Yan also calculated the countermeasures.

He must still find an employer whose power is neither too strong nor too weak to join. When he was communicating with other alchemists just now, he found out the real purpose of the pass.

It turned out that this pass was not only an identity certificate for entering Lingxu Medicine Valley, but also a way to be teleported out of the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area. Only by carrying this pass can one enter the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area through the teleportation array. Similarly, only by wearing this pass can one be teleported directly from anywhere inside before the forbidden area is closed.

This pass was distributed by the Treasure Pavilion a year ago, which means that the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce has been planning this since a year ago. It's just that this matter was covered up very tightly, which led to the fact that the cultivators in Lingxu never realized the true value of this pass.

There was one thing that Wu Yan couldn't figure out. What kind of idea was the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce planning? Why did it release 10,000 pass gold slips at a very low price a year in advance, and now when the Lingxu Medicine Valley forbidden area is about to open, it released the news?

Wouldn't the people who knew about this inside tell their juniors or disciples and their confidants about it, and then hoard these gold slips and sell them at a high price at this time?

After all, if this is the case, a large number of top-grade spirit stones can be obtained naturally. But if this is the case, Zhang Jian, who set up a stall in Yaoshan Town that day, would never be able to get such a gold slip.

In fact, what Wu Yan didn't know was that several people who knew about this inside the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce did so. However, in order to conceal the truth, a batch of these gold slips were really put out at a very low price. It's a pity that the news was covered up too tightly, so that the current situation occurred.

Those people who did this kind of thing in private didn't dare to go around and buy these gold slips. After all, they were afraid that if the news leaked out, the leader of the Chamber of Commerce, Wan Chongshan, would track them down, and they would be in trouble.

This matter was related to whether Wan Chongshan could get the "Shengyuan Huaxian Grass" and whether he could break through to the fusion stage. There might even be deeper reasons. Who dared to mess around?

And this kind of gold slip, before its true value was made public, its use was just a jade slip that recorded the details of the Lingxu Land and engraved a detailed map of the Lingxu Land. Ordinary people in the Lingxu Land naturally wouldn't need such a thing. And those cultivators who were just teleported from the Tianzhou Continent couldn't have many top-grade spirit stones on them. Who would spend such a high price to buy such a jade slip?

After a few moments, there were about a thousand people gathered on the high platform, and the seats on the platform were full. At this time, no one came in at the door of the hall.

Wu Yan's eyes were always on the people coming in from the platform. Suddenly, several familiar figures caught Wu Yan's eyes.

In a corner of the platform, Wu Yan actually saw Yu Qingcang's family of three, whom he had met once in the Tianzhou Ruins Continent. How could this family of three still be as miserable as they were back then? They now looked rosy-cheeked and in very good spirits, and they were all wearing the same navy blue robes. At this moment, they were all sitting next to a middle-aged cultivator with an indifferent expression. The middle-aged cultivator's clothes were exactly the same as Yu Qingcang's, and there were several young cultivators wearing the same robes next to him.

The middle-aged cultivator's cultivation level was in the middle stage of the Spiritualization, and the other young people's cultivation levels were between the late Nascent Soul and the early stage of the Spiritualization. Even Yu Qingcang and his wife were already in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. It had only been nearly a year since they last met, and it was unexpected that both of them had broken through the early stage and entered the realm of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

It was their daughter Yu Wan'er, who was already in the early stage of Jindan cultivation. Moreover, the palm-sized birthmark on her face had disappeared. She no longer looked ugly, and had completely returned to being a beautiful young girl.

In fact, when they were in the Tianzhou Ruins, Wu Yan noticed that this woman seemed to have undergone an extremely sophisticated disguise. Now it seems that Wu Yan's judgment at that time was indeed correct. It is not surprising to think about it. In a place like the Tianzhou Ruins, if Yu Wan'er really showed her current beauty, she would have been forcibly snatched away by malicious high-level cultivators as a concubine.

The three members of Yu Qingcang's family obviously did not expect to see Wu Yan in such a place. When their eyes fell on Wu Yan, they suddenly became a little surprised and unbelievable.

Obviously, the reason why they couldn't believe it was that Wu Yan's current cultivation seemed to be only in the late stage of Jindan, but when they were in the Tianzhou Continent, Wu Yan was a real Yuanying middle-stage cultivator, and in the eyes of the three people, Wu Yan had even been identified as a senior master in the Huashen period.

After seeing Wu Yan, Yu Wan'er's eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately said a few words to her parents, with an expression that was both anxious and shy.

Yu Qingcang hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few words to the middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and pointed to Wu Yan.

The middle-aged cultivator's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and his eyes turned to Wu Yan, while his consciousness also scanned Wu Yan imperceptibly. The middle-aged cultivator seemed to be very confident in his cultivation and magical powers, so when his consciousness swept over Wu Yan, although it was extremely secretive, it was quite overbearing and unscrupulous, which made Wu Yan's original joy of seeing Yu Qingcang's family disappear instantly, and his face immediately became gloomy and expressionless.

As the middle-aged cultivator frowned and nodded, and whispered something to Yu Qingcang, Yu Qingcang and his wife were a little stunned, but they still came down from the high platform and walked towards Wu Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, I didn't expect to see you here, it's great! Haha, Yu just couldn't believe it." After approaching, Yu Qingcang politely bowed to Wu Yan and greeted him.

Yu Qingcang's wife Wan Zhen greeted Wu Yan politely, then stood behind Yu Qingcang with a somewhat indifferent expression, and then began to look Wu Yan up and down with some surprise.

The middle-aged cultivator in the middle stage of the transformation of the spirit is Yu Qingliang, the current head of the Yu family. Because the Yu family does not have a late stage of the transformation of the spirit cultivator, it is only a first-level family now, but its strength is comparable to that of a second-level sect family, so Yu Qingliang is quite arrogant. After he learned about Wu Yan from Yu Qingcang just now, he carefully scanned Wu Yan with his spiritual sense. Yu Qingcang told him that he guessed Wu Yan was a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage, and he was also surprised at the time, so he tried it.

However, after Yu Qingliang repeatedly scanned Wu Yan with his spiritual sense, he told Yu Qingcang with certainty that Wu Yan was now in the late stage of the Core Formation Stage. In his opinion, Wu Yan must have encountered something in the Tianzhou Ruins Continent, which led to his realm falling.

He told Yu Qingcang and his wife about his judgment. And Yu Qingcang and his wife naturally believed in his judgment. Therefore, at this time, Yu Qingcang and his wife seemed to be very polite to Wu Yan on the surface, but in fact they seemed a little distant.
