After a while, Ling 'er, who was still in a state of shock, stopped trembling. She patted the shoulder of the little girl beside her, whose face was still a little pale, and asked with concern,"Are you alright?"
It wasn't easy to get a loyal girl. Don't be scared silly. Fortunately, Little Lian had always been a rather open-minded person. Otherwise, for so many years, anyone who heard their master's shrill screams of " Ghost, demon-" would be scared silly even if they didn't go crazy. Wasn't the servant girls he sent to serve them in the past a living example?
Little Lian composed herself and looked at her Miss. The young miss's usually frightened face was calm at this time. Not only that, but she also had a gentle smile that could comfort people's hearts, like a big sister who knew how to take care of people.
His heart, which was beating like a drum just now, gradually calmed down in this smile. Little Lian shook her head in embarrassment.""This servant is fine…This servant is really useless. I still need Young Lady to comfort this servant instead…"
Ling 'er lovingly tucked a strand of disobedient hair behind Little Lian's ear and said with a smile,""No, Little Lian was very brave just now. She still wanted to protect me when facing such a terrifying shadow demon. If it wasn't for Little Lian, I might have been eaten by the shadow demon!”
To be honest, Little Lian was only a child in her teens. It was already not easy for her to do this. Ling 'er's impression of her improved a little.
Little Lian, who had been praised by her master, felt as if she had eaten honey. Her heart was filled with sweetness. She suddenly thought of something and asked curiously,"Miss, what was that golden light just now? He destroyed the shadow demon in an instant. How powerful!”
"Perhaps some passing immortal couldn't bear to see us being swallowed by the shadow demon, so he cast a spell to save us?”The dim golden ring in Ling 'er's hand looked like it was made of copper and was very inconspicuous.
She put the golden bracelet on her wrist. Unfortunately, the golden bracelet was too big. It kept falling off her wrist and was in danger of falling to the ground at any time.
It would be great if it could be two circles smaller and could be worn as a bracelet! Gu Ling 'er stared at the golden circle and thought to herself.
Unexpectedly, just as this thought appeared in her mind, the golden ring seemed to have heard her inner thoughts. It shrank to an appropriate size and firmly wrapped around her wrist. Its shape also changed from a light gold ring to an ordinary twisted silver bracelet. It was not eye-catching at all when worn on her wrist.
Little Lian did not notice the change in the golden circle. A fanatical look of worship appeared on her little face. She crossed her hands in front of her chest and said with infinite stars in her eyes,"Immortal? Perhaps he was an Immortal Cultivator!
Miss, you don't know how powerful those Immortal Cultivators are. They can fly in the sky and vanquish demons. Even the high and mighty emperor respects them! If he could be selected by the immortal sect, he would reach the heavens in a single step!
However, immortal cultivation was not something that just anyone could cultivate. One needed a spiritual root. The Fifth Elder of the side branch and the Eldest Young Master of the First household were chosen by the immortal sect because they had three spiritual roots.
This servant also heard that in Azure Dragon City, which is not far from Xiapu, the third son of the city lord is being fought over by many immortal sects because he has a heaven spirit root! The Third Young Master chose the largest cultivation sect in our Haitian Continent, the Ten Thousand Marsh Sect!”
……
When it came to cultivators, Little Lian was like a fanatical fan. When it came to the idol she admired, she would babble nonstop. This also allowed Xiaoxue to capture a lot of information about this world from her messy words.
The world she had transmigrated to seemed to be a declining world of cultivation. As the spiritual energy became thinner and thinner, the number of mortals with true spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots decreased, while those with fake spiritual roots were everywhere.
Every cultivation sect would fight for True Spirit Roots of two or three attributes, let alone Heavenly Spirit Roots that had no bottleneck in Core Formation. In order to not return empty-handed during the disciple selection ceremony every three years, many immortal cultivation sects even absorbed pseudo-spiritual roots of the four attributes as outer sect disciples.
As the talent of the disciples they accepted was getting worse and worse, it was rare for the disciples of the cultivation sects to successfully establish their foundation, let alone form their golden core. First-rate self-cultivation sects like the Ten Thousand Marsh Sect and Xuanqing School only had a few grandmasters who were at the level of old monsters and had become experts in the Golden Core Stage. Even their sect masters were only at the peak of the Foundation Building Stage and had not broken through for many years. It was obvious how difficult it was to form the Core.
In ancient times, before the ancestor of all spirits disappeared, the Haitian Continent was filled with spiritual energy. All kinds of rare spiritual herbs could be found everywhere, and they grew very quickly. The cultivation sects were also very prosperous for a time. Every year, there would be a group of immortals who successfully transcended the tribulation and ascended, causing the manager of the immortal world, the Jade Emperor, to be anxious. If this continued, the immortals in the immortal world would be like carrots and cabbages. It would not be strange, and it would even cause an overpopulation that would break the dangerous situation of the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor consulted the three gods of creation and issued an edict: The lightning tribulation of the Dujie stage of immortal cultivators would advance to the Aurous Core stage. Moreover, for every breakthrough above the Aurous Core stage, they would suffer a lightning tribulation.
As a result, many self-cultivators couldn't withstand the test of the thunder tribulation when they formed their core. They either failed to form their core or their souls were destroyed in the thunder tribulation. The chances of immortal cultivators ascending were greatly reduced.
Furthermore, twenty thousand years ago, the Ancestor of All Spirits had fallen in a conflict with the Heaven Creation True God. From then on, the spiritual energy in the human world had become thinner and thinner. Although spirit herbs were still everywhere, their growth was slow and their spiritual energy was greatly reduced. Spiritual medicines that were not yet ripe were like weeds on the roadside, not useful at all.
Back then, the alchemists of Shengji World were also able to refine fewer and fewer pills due to the lack of medicinal ingredients. The chances of successfully refining pills were also decreasing. Today, not to mention Alchemists, even Alchemists were pitifully few. Even the beginner Alchemists who could refine spirit liquid were also the targets of various sects, let alone spirit dew, spirit powder, and spirit pill levels.
As for alchemists, it was said that there were no more than three of them in the entire Haitian Continent. Those national treasure alchemists were protected by the big sects as if they were peerless treasures. The elixirs they refined were also auctioned at the annual Spirit Treasures Conference.
One could imagine how popular these alchemists were in Haitian Continent. Not only were they highly respected, but no sect dared to offend them. Even a top cultivation sect like the Ten Thousand Marsh Sect was extremely respectful towards alchemists.
If he accidentally offended an alchemist and said that he would not sell the pills to this cultivation sect, the consequences could be imagined. The disciples that were accepted into the sect were not talented to begin with. If they did not have the support of spirit herbs, then this cultivation sect would definitely not be able to escape the fate of decline.
Disciples in the early stage of Qi Refinement could use spirit liquid to assist in their cultivation. In the middle stage, they needed the help of spirit dew. As for disciples in the high stage of Qi Refinement, they needed spirit powder to assist in their cultivation. The Foundation Establishment stage was a big threshold for cultivators. If one wanted to cross it without the help of any spirit herbs, only a disciple with a heaven spirit root would be able to do so. For those disciples with two or three attributes of True Spirit Roots, unless they were extremely talented and hardworking, it was not impossible for them to barely reach Foundation Establishment in ten to twenty years or even more. Those with ordinary talent could forget about breaking through in their entire lives. However, it was different with the "Foundation Building Pill". It could increase the success rate of building the foundation to a certain extent. Many cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage had broken through the realm and successfully built the foundation after taking the "Foundation Building Pill".
After the Foundation Establishment stage, the spirit herbs that could assist one's cultivation had to be spirit pills or above. So, you see, if you offend an alchemist, it's equivalent to cutting off the path of cultivation for the disciples and ruining the future of a sect!
