This brother happened to hear a thing or two.

Ma Tian Xiong nodded, and his face showed a strange expression, “Junior brother Ye seems to be very interested in Top grade Pills. According to your Innate Talent, if you work hard, even with a Low-grade pill, it’s enough for entering Foundation Establishment.”

“Heh heh” Lin Xuan smiled, but his heart shook slightly. He was a bit mad at the moment. But quickly ignored it, this younger brother is just curious, and is interested in all kinds of pills.”

“Mm.”Ma Tian Xiong had no doubts. Lin Xuan’s Demonic Disguising Technique is wonderfully executed, with his current cultivation base. Unless it’s an expert of the Core Formation Stage, no one can recognize his true identity. Ma Tian Xiong continues: “This dumb brother happened to have read an introduction on the Top Grade Essence Purifying Pill in an ancient book…”

Lin Xuan did not doubt him, anyway, this is not a valuable secret, and is regarded as gossip, but not by Lin Xuan.

The pill classification that was originally circulating in the Cultivation World is incorrect.

Low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade is indeed graded according to the content of Impurities, but not top-grade pills.

The so-called Top grade Pills really do have the effect of Defying the Heavens, in addition to the high proportion of essence, and high purity, they also need to go through double-refining.

What is double-refining?

It’s a well-known fact that when various treasures of Heaven and Earth are placed in a cauldron, and as an experienced alchemist refines it, you get the finished product.

This is refining.

To get the Top grade Pill, you must first prepare the High-Grade Pill that has been Refined, and then supplement it with several other Spirit Medicines.

Because it’s been refined twice, it is also called double-refining.

From the process, you can imagine its difficulty. From what he knows, even if it’s one of the great sects, who have a lot of manpower and a strong Alchemy division, can’t refine the High-grade Pill, the only stock in those sects. Are the ones passed down from generation to generation, it can be said to be the case of excellent luck, or what you can call an accident.

Refining a Top grade Pill needs a High-grade Pill as a raw material. Once it fails, the High-grade Pill will be scrapped. Who would be willing to give it up?

However, for Lin Xuan, it’s no big deal. With his current cultivation base, the purification of High-grade Pill has a low success rate, but it can barely be used. At most, it takes some time and is not a problem.

But the words that Ma Tian Xiong said next, could be a problem.

In addition to the need for a High-grade Pill as the main ingredient, you also need to add a few Spiritual Ingredients ?”

“Yes.”Ma Tian Xiong nodded. “According to ancient records, Refining a Top grade Pill requires Silver Moon Grass.”

The composition of a Top-grade Pill is slightly different from the previous medicine pill, which is why Lin Xuan has not been successful in purifying them.

From the mouth of Ma Tian Xiong, he got the secret of the Top-grade Pill.

However, Lin Xuan’s heart was not at ease at all. High-grade Pills are easy to get, but the Silver Moon Flower…

Lin Xuan once read about them in the Myriad Herb Record. Unlike Ginseng, Silver  Moon Flower is a real treasure of heaven and earth, and a lot rarer than Ginseng.

But where can one find any?

“In fact, it’s not like you can’t find any.”

“Senior Brother knows?”Lin Xuan was surprised and happy. He didn’t expect Ma Tian Xiong to know anything at all, but his knowledge is so rich. He can even be called a know-it-all.

“Some grow by the Leaping Stream Mountain. “

“Leaping Stream Mountain!” Lin Xuan listened, his face sank, his expression was a bit bitter, the reason is this mountain is the notorious monster nest which is filled with dangerous Spirit Beasts.

If it’s just a Spirit Beast nest, Lin Xuan doesn’t have to worry that much. As the saying goes, Humans die for wealth, Birds die for food, it’s normal to take some risks.

There could be many Spirit Beasts out there, but most of them are only at the beginning stages. With their current cultivation base, they can barely cope.

But the current situation is a bit different. The Leaping Stream Mountain is located north of Yan Prefecture, just a few miles away from Spirit Flame Sect. Which is in their sphere of influence, and now that the two unions are engaged in a war, and are currently hostile.

He has a high possibility of being hunted down.

Staying in the sect may be convenient, but looking at the situation, it would be impossible to succeed in Foundation Establishment.

Lin Xuan was caught in a dilemma. Originally, he still had a way out, by relying on the Demonic Disguising Technique, taking off the clothes of Whirlwind Cloud Valley, and sneaking himself in as a Rogue Cultivator. Although there is a huge conflict in the Yan prefecture, those who are not part of any sects aren’t hunted down like those who are. Rogue cultivator may be killed too, either accidentally or intentionally, but it’s much safer than being a sect’s disciple.

But soon, Lin Xuan’s wishful thinking was also ruined.

Although it is a war of attrition, the two sides will not engage in large wars and won’t attack each other’s sects, but by using other means, they can still manage, do not underestimate those in pursuit of the immortal Path, they may look like refined Taoists, But are very sinister, despicable and crueler than those in the secular world.

In addition to killing each other’s disciples, they also sent assassins disguised as dead disciples, who mixed in with the sect and assassinated High Ranked cultivators. Although most were slain, the effect is very obvious.

To know whether a sect is powerful or not, the key is still in those High Ranked cultivators. Disciples of the Spirit Condensation Stage are nothing more than cannon fodder. Even if a lot die, they don’t harm the roots. High-Level cultivators are different. If many die. It’ll make the Sect lose its strength.

Once the balance of power of the opposing sides is broken, then, it would no longer be a war of attrition, it will surely turn into a massacre.

Of course, neither side wants to succumb to one another. In order to single out assassins sent by the other party, the two unions each invented a spell of identification.

This spell makes it so a spy can be seen at a glance and easily recognized so that they won’t have to be afraid of the other party.
