Chapter 89 The Conditions of the Pill Cauldron Sect (Please Subscribe!)
“Fellow Daoist Lu, I have already consulted the Second Elder. The Second Elder has promised that if Fellow Daoist Lu can really help us obtain the Fire Element Grass, then we will give Fellow Daoist Lu a chance to acquire a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.”

Yang Chongyu smiled at Lu Wenxing, then a solemn expression appeared on his face: "I am about to tell Fellow Daoist Lu a secret about my Dan Ding Sect. I ask Fellow Daoist Lu to keep it a secret. If this news is leaked from Fellow Daoist Lu, the sect will definitely demand an explanation from you."

Yang Chongyu gave Lu Wenxing a deep look, paused slightly, and then continued, "Fellow Daoist Yang should be able to guess that our Dan Ding Sect has a stable channel for obtaining Foundation Establishment spiritual items. And that is indeed the case. Our Dan Ding Sect, together with the Yuan Dan Sect and the Zhang family of Secret Pills, jointly control a small secret realm..."

Yang Chongyu's gaze fell on Lu Wenxing, and he said in a deep voice, "I have already told Fellow Daoist Yang this secret. I don't care what Fellow Daoist Yang chooses, but you must tell me what you know about the Fire Element Grass now!"

Lu Wenxing frowned slightly. The Dan Ding Sect had indeed given him the option to obtain a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, but it required the Lu family to bear a great risk.

The three Foundation Establishment forces, Dan Ding Sect, Yuan Dan Sect, and the Zhang Family of Secret Pills, are roughly equal in strength and all excel at refining pills. The small secret realm they jointly control is also rich in various spiritual herbs.

Among these spiritual herbs is the Spirit Essence Nourishing Herb, a second-grade low-level spiritual herb used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills!
This is also the most valuable item in that secret realm.

However, obtaining the Spirit Essence Replenishing Herb is an extremely dangerous matter.

The Spirit Essence Nourishing Mushroom in the secret realm only grows in Qingling Valley, a place always inhabited by the Qingyue Wolf pack.

The wolf pack is very strong, and there are even second-tier demon wolves among them.

However, due to the environmental limitations of the secret realm, the monsters living in the secret realm can only grow to the early stage of the second tier at most.

However, the highest level of cultivators allowed to enter the secret realm is only the ninth level of Qi Refining. If cultivators who enter the secret realm want to harvest the Spirit Essence Replenishing Mushroom, they need to fight against those early-stage second-tier Azure Moon Wolves.

The three major cultivation forces, Dan Ding Sect and Dan Ding Sect, which focus on alchemy, have no shortage of cultivation resources. Cultivators entering the secret realm can use powerful second-tier talismans to kill those second-tier demon wolves.

Unfortunately, because the space of the secret realm is too fragile, if too many Foundation Establishment level forces appear in the secret realm, it may cause the secret realm to collapse directly.

When the three cultivation factions of the Dan Ding Sect first entered the secret realm, they were unaware of this fact and almost destroyed the secret realm.

Since that incident, the three families have established a rule to avoid using overly powerful forces in the secret realm as much as possible.

Even so, in order to obtain the Spirit Essence Replenishing Mushroom more smoothly, the cultivators from the three families would still use second-tier talismans.

After all, even though the power of the monsters in the secret realm is weaker than that in the outside world, a Qi Refining cultivator is still not comparable to a second-tier demon beast.

Besides the threat from the monsters in the secret realm, the relationship between the three factions, Dan Ding Sect, Yuan Dan Sect and Zhang Family of Secret Pills, is not very harmonious. In order to compete for more spiritual marrow to replenish Yuanzhi, the three families often engage in bloody battles.

This time, with the opening of the secret realm, there are no cultivators in the Qi Refining stage of the Dan Ding Sect with particularly outstanding combat power, which will put them at a great disadvantage when entering the secret realm.

Currently, the Dan Ding Sect is already weaker than the Yuan Dan Sect and the Zhang Family of Secret Pills, as the other two families have cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage in charge.

If they fail to compete for the Spirit Essence Replenishing Herb in the secret realm this time, the gap between the Pill Cauldron Sect and the Yuan Pill Sect and the Secret Pill Zhang Family may widen further.

Therefore, the Dan Ding Sect has always been searching for powerful Qi Refining Realm cultivators, but such powerful cultivators are not easy to find.

Those weaker than the Dan Ding Sect produce Qi Refining cultivators who are inferior to those from the Dan Ding Sect, while those stronger than the Dan Ding Sect are not even worth seeking out.

Even now, the Dan Ding Sect has yet to find a Qi Refining Realm cultivator who truly satisfies them. The choice the Dan Ding Sect is offering the Lu family is essentially a risk-free proposition; if the Lu family can bring them a powerful Qi Refining Realm cultivator, it would definitely not be a bad thing for the Dan Ding Sect.

If the Lu family doesn't have a powerful Qi Refining Realm cultivator who satisfies them, then it won't have any impact on them.

The Lu family's strength is far inferior to that of the Dan Ding Sect. Even if the Lu family knew of the existence of the secret realm, they would never dare to leak the news of it.

Because if the Lu family does this, they will offend not only the Dan Ding Sect, a Foundation Establishment power, but also the even more powerful Yuan Dan Sect and the Secret Pill Zhang family.

Lu Cheng'an's strength was already quite formidable, but the Lu family kept his whereabouts very secret, and even the Dan Ding Sect was unaware of his power.

Lu Wenxing was confident that Lu Chengan's strength would lead to his selection by the Dan Ding Sect, but he did not want Lu Chengan to venture into the secret realm and take risks.

However, Lu Cheng'an's entry was the only way for the Lu family to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills, which made Lu Wenxing feel very conflicted.

"Please give me some time to consider, Elder Yang. I will now tell you about the Fire Element Grass!"

Lu Wenxing took a deep breath; he truly couldn't make a decision right now.

Originally, what he had told Lu Cheng'an was that the clan would purchase a Foundation Establishment spiritual item for Lu Cheng'an.

If the Dan Ding Sect's request is granted, then Lu Cheng'an will have to risk his life to obtain the opportunity to purchase Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

"I was fortunate enough to obtain a Fire Element Grass deep in the Burning Flame Mountains some time ago, and now I have placed this Fire Element Grass in my family."

After quickly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Lu Wenxing took out the jade box containing the leaves of the Fire Element Grass.

He opened the sealed jade box, and the Fire Element Grass inside came into Yang Chongyu's view.

This Fire Element Grass was harvested more than a month ago, but it is relatively well preserved, with no loss of medicinal properties, and still looks extremely pleasing.

Lu Wenxing did not bring the entire Fire Element Grass with him, as Fire Element Grass was something that the Dan Ding Sect desperately needed.

The disparity in strength between the Lu family and the Dan Ding Sect was too great. He wanted to trade with the Dan Ding Sect using Fire Element Grass, so he was naturally worried that the Dan Ding Sect would force him to do something.

Not only did he not carry the Fire Element Grass with him, but he also made thorough preparations.

If he cannot escape from the Dan Ding Sect in time, the Lu family cultivators he arranged will inform the Yuan Dan Sect and the Zhang family of the Secret Pill Sect about the Fire Element Grass.

Although the Yuan Dan Sect, the Secret Pill Zhang Family, and the Dan Ding Sect are in a cooperative relationship, none of the three families want the other's power to grow stronger.

Of course, Lu Wenxing would never have revealed these subsequent arrangements unless he was pushed to that point.

Otherwise, we would completely offend the Dan Ding Sect.
