Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”So, the array’s focal point is a flower, right?”

Han Yu stepped forward and carefully examined the petals formed by spiritual power.

Then he asked in surprise.

Quan Xiaotong shook his head with a smile, the array’s focal point couldn’t be a flower.

But the focal point is within the petals.

And the most likely spot is the flower bud.

”Flower bud...”

A group of people murmured as they looked towards that spot, and surprisingly, the bud was located at the nexus of the East and West territories.

Thinking carefully, it was actually the center of the entire Central Continent.

”But isn’t this area too large?”

Ling Wuce muttered, like how a horse dies running up a hill, even though the bud looked small, finding it wasn’t an easy task.

”At least we have a target now.”

Quan Xiaotong shook his head and sighed, this was the best the Central Continent could do.

At least for now, they could rally forces to move towards it.

”Though the area is large, if you want to find it, you can.”

He said.

The old Daoist had been quietly listening, but hearing this, couldn’t help but speak out.

”Have you considered that if you guessed the location correctly, would Yama Hall just let you destroy it?”

With the old Daoist’s prompt, the previously enthused group couldn’t help but feel anxious.

Of course! If this really was the array’s focal point, its importance to Yama Hall was obvious.

How could they let others destroy it?

So, the place must be extremely dangerous.

Yama Hall must have left strategies in place there.

Quan Xiaotong suddenly turned to look at the old Daoist, his eyes full of meaning, yet he said nothing.

Understanding what Quan Xiaotong meant, the old Daoist fell silent for a moment before speaking.

”You want to know if the Celestial Dao Sect will help?”

There was no doubt, since the Central Continent identified such a place, the Celestial Dao Sect wouldn’t remain indifferent.

Quan Xiaotong wanted to see the old Daoist’s stance.

If the Celestial Dao Sect were to help, things would be easier to accomplish.

Relying on the Central Continent’s power alone, Quan Xiaotong didn’t have high hopes.

Deep down, he had an ulterior motive, by having the old Daoist eavesdrop here.

He wanted the old Daoist to inform the Celestial Dao Sect about the array’s location.

Given the hostile relationship between the two sides, the Celestial Dao Sect would be eager to destroy the array.

Moreover, Su Xiaoxiao and he had a verbal agreement, for the Central Continent to locate the array, and they would destroy it.

The old Daoist also thought of Su Xiaoxiao, he wasn’t idly sitting here, information about everything in the Central Continent would reach him.

The entire Central Continent, with the Western Territory occupied by Yama Hall, and the Southern Border with many Celestial Dao Sect cultivators, he was aware of this.

If all these forces were to be handed over by Mu Zili, it would likely be to Su Xiaoxiao.

”Let me contact him!”

As the old Daoist said this, he released a few traces of his aura.

Everyone was dumbfounded, watching the aura swirl overhead before flying towards the west.

This way of reaching someone, they had never seen before.

Moreover, crossing distances between two territories, it was indeed miraculous.

Breath-Attracting Skill.

As the name implies, it’s a curse skill that draws out or uses one’s aura, useful for tracking or hunting down people.

However, it cannot be used without reaching the Divine Dao Realm.

”Your strength isn’t enough to learn it, once you are stronger, you won’t need to learn it.”

The old Daoist patiently explained a few things.

Such methods were common among cultivators of the Divine Dao Realm, possibly under different names but serving similar purposes.

Didn’t Meng Yun also lock his aura in an attempt to hunt him down?

This was the same method.

Useful against those under the Divine Dao Realm, but against the same realm, not as effective.

Whether isolating one’s aura or erasing it, these are countermeasures.

So when Meng Yun lost the old Daoist’s trail, he couldn’t track him effectively, which was the same reasoning.

While waiting for a response, Han Yu also took out two pills.

Others might just watch enviously, but Han Yu’s pills were for whoever dared to eat them immediately.

As soon as he brought them out, everyone who hadn’t taken the pills yet had their eyes gleaming.

Someone even shouted from the crowd, ”Pharmacist Han, just tell us the side effects!”

What was expected to be a joke turned out to gain everyone’s agreement.

”Yes, yes, just tell us the side effects!”

It seems, the cultivators of the Central Continent, instead of being swayed by Han Yu, had seemingly swayed him a bit.

”Am I under some spell, having hallucinations again?”

Han Yu asked secretly in his Sea of Consciousness, such requests were absurd.

He was used to hearing about desirable effects, had the Central Continent become this curious?

Requesting side effects?

Are they joking?

”We are not joking, we just want to know the side effects.”

The earnest attitude of the crowd left Han Yu in tears and laughter.

Though the side effects garnered much attention, he couldn’t break his habit of stating the main effects first, then the side effects.

Death Replacement Pill: Grants the user a death replacement ability, activating once per day, allowing them to evade a fatal attack by fleeing ten miles randomly. Side effect: While the ability is active, the user enters a fatal state where any damage can result in death.

Profound Response Pill: Grants the user the profound response ability, allowing them to respond to others’ requests. Based on the difficulty of meeting such requests, they gain equivalent cultivation. Side effect: Loss of ability to increase cultivation through normal means.

The side effects of both pills were quite peculiar.

The effect of the Death Replacement Pill was extraordinary, a daily death replacement ability, perfect for reckless behavior.

If used properly, one could risk their life once each day.

However, if not used correctly, Han Yu suspected that even a slight bump might count as damage.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t one have to live cautiously for a day after using the ability?

The Profound Response Pill’s ability was somewhat abstract, similar to what Flower Monk consumed in the past, only he had to comply with every request.

Whereas here, it depended on the response, and cultivation could be gained equivalently.

If summed up, responding more would mean cultivation could skyrocket.

However, due to the side effect, one can only rely on this ability for cultivation in the future, the trade-offs being subjective.

The group remained silent, not because they were scared of the pills.

Instead, they were considering which pill suited them better.

While everyone was deep in thought, the abbot of Galan Temple slowly walked out.

He joined his hands together and recited a Buddhist mantra.

One of the pills perfectly suited him, even aiding in cultivation mindfully.

”I would like the Profound Response Pill.”

To him, there’s nothing more suitable than the Profound Response Pill.

Ignoring the side effects was an option.

While studying Buddhism’s principles, he could also enhance his cultivation.

Somehow, he sensed this might lead to a greater path.

Soon after, several people contended for the Death Replacement Pill.

They probably had given it much thought and felt confident enough to step forward.

In the end, an unknown sect leader took the pill, seemingly unafraid of the side effects, almost snatching it triumphantly among others.

Both pills found takers, the only regret being the lack of a pill with abilities more suited to combat.

”This is already good, there are no useless pills.”

Quan Xiaotong was quite satisfied.

Strength doesn’t have to stem from combat abilities; these pills focused on potential development.

As long as the abbot used his abilities right, the increase in cultivation could be dramatic.

And the one with the Death Replacement, as long as the cultivation gap wasn’t too large, one could risk their life easily.
