Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Yun Danzi's voice rang in my ears. He introduced, "This Immortal Herb Garden is the work of a Heavenly Fire Alchemist. He cultivates spiritual herbs using living cultivation techniques, and the results are surprisingly good. The quality of the pills refined from it is several levels higher than those cultivated in ordinary spiritual soil. Many people in the inner sect want to buy it but can't. Only some high-ranking disciples are qualified to exchange it with contribution points."

His voice was flat, clearly indicating that he was already used to it.

Jiang Chuan frowned almost imperceptibly.

It's not that he's overly compassionate.

Instead, I thought of it.

If he had been tricked by Cui Chenghua into 'cultivating spiritual herbs' in the first place, he might already be one of them now.

After passing the herbal medicine garden, the mountain road ahead made a sharp turn.

Then Jiang Chuan saw a tree.

The tree grew in a clearing that had been cleared out on its own. Its trunk was so thick that it would take three people to encircle it. Its bark had a warm, jade-like texture. Its branches were gnarled and twisted, and its canopy blocked out the sun, casting a dense shade.

The fruits on the tree had bizarre shapes, resembling little babies.

The fruit, about the size of a fist, was curled up on the branch. Its features were clearly discernible, with a nose and eyes. Its skin was so pink that it was almost transparent, and you could even see the tiny blood vessels under the skin. It hung quietly on the branch, occasionally twitching its little hands and feet slightly, as if it were sleeping in the womb.

Suddenly, a fruit fell from the branch and crashed to the ground.

During the fall, the baby suddenly opened its eyes and let out a sharp, piercing cry.

Wow……!

The sound was short and shrill, like a blunt knife scraping against glass, sending chills down one's spine.

But the crying lasted less than half a breath before a gray shadow swept out from under the tree. It was an old man with a hunched back and white hair and beard. He waved his sleeve expressionlessly, and a pale golden light swept the infant into his sleeve, swallowing up even the crying.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but ask again, "What is that?"

"Tai Sui Infant Fruit".

Yun Danzi followed his gaze and looked over, a hint of interest on her face: "This is one of the most famous treasures of my Yuanling Mountain, a unique treasure even in the entire Immortal Alliance! This fruit is a primordial spiritual root born from the heavens, maturing once every hundred years, each time bearing ninety-nine fruits."

"The fruit contains an extremely pure wisp of innate Tai Sui Qi, which can be used to refine pills and greatly extend the lifespan of cultivators. Even Foundation Establishment True Persons would be envious."

He paused, then added, "However, to awaken this spiritual root, it needs to be watered daily with the blood of cultivators of the corresponding attribute. In total, each time it matures, the 'nutrients' alone will require two to three hundred Qi-accepting cultivators. Of course, most of those nutrients are from rogue cultivators captured from outside, which are not worth mentioning."

Jiang Chuan silently withdrew his gaze and continued to follow Yun Danzi forward.

The winding mountain path ascends, and the scenery along the way is constantly changing.

He saw several disciples dressed in black robes holding down a struggling man in front of a side hall. Beside them stood a cold-faced alchemist who was taking out a jade box from his storage bag. Inside the box were several jet-black pills.

Yun Danzi explained in a timely manner: "Those are people from the Enforcement Hall. It is estimated that the disciple privately resold the waste pills from the Pill Room and was caught. This kind of thing is very common in Yuanling Mountain. Although waste pills cannot be consumed, they can be re-extracted into spiritual liquid and recycled. His resale caused the Pill Room to lose a lot of income, so this punishment is justified."

Jiang Chuan watched as the disciple, pinned to the ground, was forced to swallow a pitch-black pill amidst his desperate cries.

Followed by.

He shrank away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, it turned into a dried-up corpse, as if all its nutrients had been absorbed by that pitch-black pill.

The alchemist beside him nodded in satisfaction, put the pitch-black pill into his storage bag, turned and left without giving it another glance.

There are many similar scenes along the way.

Beneath this idyllic landscape, bizarre acts are everywhere, a testament to the depravity of cannibalism.

shocking.

Inner sect of the Immortal Alliance.

These four words gradually faded the last trace of the aura of a blessed land of immortals in Jiang Chuan's heart.

The law of the jungle prevails.

He had already grasped this principle when he was in the Origin Realm.

Cultivators are the most domineering beings in the world. They devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish their own lives. They even plunder the heaven and earth, let alone their own kind.

In the Heavenly Chapter Realm, this phenomenon was simply manifested even more blatantly.

No more hiding it.

That's it.

He withdrew his gaze, banishing these pointless thoughts from his mind, and turned to look at Yun Danzi: "How far is your alchemy room?"

"Almost there, almost there." Yun Danzi quickly pointed to a cluster of buildings at the end of the winding mountain road ahead: "It's just ahead, we'll be there in about half an incense stick's time."

……

Yun Danzi's alchemy room was much more impressive than he had expected.

The entire building was carved out of the mountain.

Flying eaves and upturned corners.

Carved beams and painted rafters.

Two bronze toad statues, each about half a person's height, stood at the entrance, their mouths slightly open, emitting pale golden smoke from the earth's fire.

Several alchemists were busy in the alchemy room, while more than a hundred apprentice alchemists moved about.

Everyone looked hurried and moved with the speed of the wind.

To have a private alchemy room in such a place, Yun Danzi's status is indeed extraordinary.

Yun Danzi led him through the front hall. Along the way, the alchemists they encountered stopped what they were doing, bowed, and addressed him as "Master Yun".

Yun Danzi simply nodded slightly.

Keep moving forward.

He led Jiang Chuan directly to a room at the deepest part of the alchemy workshop.

The formation closed behind them, isolating them from the noise of the outside world.

Yun Danzi's composure vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely respectful expression. He lowered his voice and said, "Master, you have seen all of the more than one hundred people in this alchemy room. Although the twelve Spirit Fire Alchemists are nominally under my jurisdiction, they are only responsible for refining some low-level pills on a daily basis and have no access to any core secrets. They are nothing to worry about."

"However, I originally had two personal alchemy apprentices who have been with me for over ten years. They know many of my secrets. Keeping these two around is ultimately a hidden danger. I wonder if Master would like me to get rid of them?"

Jiang Chuan listened to him without even frowning, and simply said, "It would be such a waste to get rid of them."

Yun Danzi was taken aback.

Jiang Chuan continued, "Moreover, since he was a trusted confidant who had followed you for more than ten years, his sudden death would inevitably arouse suspicion."

Yun Danzi quickly replied, "Master, you are wise. It was my oversight..."

"It's alright."

Jiang Chuan waved his hand: "What I mean is, since you chose these two as your confidants, they must be quite talented. It would be a real shame to kill them like this. Call them over, and I'll handle it myself."
