Another reason for both sides to exercise restraint for the time being was because of Spirit Pill Mountain.
After the death of the Sky Fiend Demon Lord, the two factions of the Righteous and Demonic scattered, but soon, the rumors on Spirit Pill Mountain about Heavenly Dust Pills were spread.
Although the Nascent Soul Experts didn’t believe it, they still sent many disciples to monitor them just in case.
The result was naturally nothing. However, they inadvertently got information that Spirit Pill Mountain was not only good at Alchemy, but they also had many hidden experts.
The Big Three and the Extreme Devil Venerable were both very surprised.
In addition, it was said that there was an old monster in the Nascent Soul Stage.
Although there was no way to prove this one, there was also no way to confirm that it was false!
This was enough to make both sides hesitant. If they fought to their last breath, but in the end, it was Spirit Pill Mountain who benefited from it, wouldn’t it be a great loss?
They were not willing to be such idiots!
What made them even more depressed was that there was a clear distinction between the two sides. The Spirit Pill Mountain had opened a convenient door for cultivators who wanted pills to be refined, and it was open to both sides.
Although they were on good terms with the Righteous Path, their relationship with the Demonic Dao was not bad either. But with Spirit Pill Mountain’s strength, they didn’t need to be fence-sitters.
Both sides were now evenly matched, so Spirit Pill Mountain’s attitude was very important.
However, the other party pretended to be ignorant and was unwilling to give a statement.
However, in the current subtle situation, it was not possible to force the other party to express their position, and doing so would easily push Spirit Pill Mountain into the arms of the other side.
Both parties could only secretly send people to Spirit Pill Mountain to draw them over. But Daoist Tong Yu was so cunning and spoke in a subtle way. He neither agreed nor refused explicitly. Both sides were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but there was nothing they could do about it.
It was precisely because of Spirit Pill Mountain’s involvement that You Prefecture’s power structure had reached a more delicate balance.
The Righteous and Demonic paths fought in secret for ten years, but they still didn’t go to war.
But the bowstring was stretched too tightly, and it will break sooner or later.
Recently, this tense atmosphere has become more and more obvious. If they really started a war, although Heavenly Vision Mountain occupied only a small area, it still may not be spared.
Therefore, the investigation of outsiders was becoming stricter.
The above information was analyzed and summarized by Lin Xuan himself. He had been traveling for nearly half a year now. Although the purpose was to search for herbs, he still got a lot of information every day.
Unexpectedly, Spirit Pill Mountain had become the key to this battle.
The last thing he wanted was to be on the cusp of the storm. However, looking at this situation now, he didn’t know if he could avoid it.
But no matter what, improving his strength was the best way to survive in the Cultivation World, so Lin Xuan was even more anxious to refine the pills.
The hardest thing now was to advance from Late-stage to great perfection. As soon as he entered the False Core Stage, with the help of the Heavenly Dust Pill, he had full confidence in condensing a Golden Core.
Although he was worried, he didn’t reveal it the slightest on the surface.
At this moment, he was dressed as a regular Rogue Cultivator and walked into the inconspicuous inn.
As soon as he entered, the innkeeper ran over, and bowed respectfully, “Welcome, Immortal Master.”
Although the Heavenly Vision Sect advocated on entering the secular world and mortals here have become accustomed to the existence of Immortal Cultivators, they were still very respectful to the living deities who mastered all kinds of magical methods.
“Mm.” Lin Xuan nodded and said casually, “Do you have any rooms? Prepare one for me.”
“Yes, but…I can’t rent it to you,” The boy scratched his head and was in a dilemma.
Lin Xuan’s expression was calm, and he asked gently, “Why?”
Seeing that Lin Xuan did not get angry, the little Innkeeper was relieved and quickly bowed and said, “Immortal Master. You don’t know that if a living deity like you comes to our shop, we would definitely be happy to have you. And you will not be charged a single penny. “
Lin Xuan frowned and said, “Get to the point”.
“Yes, yes,” He then told him the whole story, “Immortal Master, here’s the thing. In a few days, the Heavenly Vision Sect will open the market to allow foreign cultivators like you to enter and exchange things.”
“Open the market?”
Lin Xuan was stunned, then overjoyed, and quickly asked for more information. Under the inn keeper’s narration, he finally figured out the whole story.
It turned out that although the Heavenly Vision Sect was self-sufficient, and even had master alchemists. But it was impossible for this sect, and the several small sects and families nearby to completely cut off contact with the outside world.
Therefore, every ten years, the Heavenly Vision Sect would open up to the outside world and set up a temporary market to allow foreign cultivators to come in and make dealings.
He could take advantage of this opportunity to purchase what he needs.
This special market would be open for only three days, and coincidently, it happened to start tomorrow.
“I see!” Lin Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this news. He was just worried about how to enter the Heavenly Vision Sect. Such a good opportunity, he would not let it slip away in vain.
The little innkeeper was still nodding his head and explaining it to him. As a mortal, being able to talk to an immortal cultivator was a great blessing for him. Of course, he should take this opportunity to say more.
“As far as I know, the Heavenly Vision Mountain’s living deities don’t like Immortal Masters from other places, so although the city is open to the public, all foreign Immortal Masters must check-in at the inns that they’ve prepared for them.”
