Chapter 1316: Level 6 Elixir is Difficult to Get

The monk hurriedly asked, "What else do you want, senior?"

Zhang Xuan pretended to think slowly, but in fact he wanted to delay time.

He knew in his heart that if he left too quickly, people would think he had nothing to trade, and when he later went to Fairy Ling Chen to exchange cultivation resources, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. He had to delay as much as possible.

Afterwards, Zhang Xuan began to inquire about the family background, cultivation methods, etc. of the Divine Transformation cultivator in front of him. This series of questions made the cultivator feel strange, and he wondered why this senior kept asking such irrelevant questions.

However, cultivators who are good at unorthodox techniques are generally somewhat strange, and even the Divine Transformation cultivators can only give perfunctory answers.

Finally, the monk couldn't stand it anymore and said helplessly: "Senior, I have to receive a certain number of monks who want to trade war merits every day. You see..."

Henry Zhang suddenly realized: "So your income is related to the number of monks you receive?"

The monk nodded: "Yes, if I keep chatting, not only will I have no income, but my salary will also be deducted."

Zhang Xuan looked very mature and said, "I am sorry for delaying you, so let's leave it at that."

After saying that, he walked out the door slowly.

After the seven people completed the transaction, they boarded the Shenzhou again to return to their base on the ancient star battlefield.

Previously, in order to repair his injuries, Zhang Xuan had almost used up all of the Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones, the fifth-level elixirs he brought from the small world, and all kinds of natural treasures. He was now in urgent need of replenishment.

So he immediately went to Fairy Lingchen.

When Fairy Ling Chen saw Zhang Xuan coming, she knew that he was here to exchange for cultivation resources, and said, "Last year, I remember that Fellow Daoist Zhang spent most of his time in seclusion and rarely entered the Ancient Star Battlefield to search for resources, right?"

Zhang Xuan nodded: "It's indeed very little, but I was lucky and found some good things. After handing over 90% of the resources to the Dragon Ridge Temple, I still have 10% left. I wonder if Fairy Lingchen is interested?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingchen asked, "Then I wonder what Fellow Daoist Zhang found in the ancient star battlefield?" Zhang Xuan then took out a Taixuqing divine object and placed it in front of Fairy Lingchen.

Fairy Ling Chen felt a vast breath of vitality from this spiritual object and said in surprise: "This is a sixth-grade, top-grade wood-attributed Taixu Qingshen spiritual object!"

Zhang Xuan nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that I haven't opened up my inner space yet. I can't use this kind of top-grade wood-attributed spiritual object myself. I want to exchange it for some other cultivation resources from the fairy."

Fairy Ling Chen stared at the Taixuqing Spirit Item in Zhang Xuan's hand with burning eyes and said, "I know that Fellow Daoist Zhang must want to exchange it for Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley. Unfortunately, the total amount of Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley I have is less than 200 kilograms. I have already traded it to Fellow Daoist Zhang, so I really don't have any extra."

Zhang Xuan had anticipated this and said, "I want to trade something else from the fairy this time."

"what?"

"May I ask if there is any sixth-level elixir here, fairy?"

"Sixth-level elixir?" Fairy Ling Chen showed a look of surprise. "Even Daoist Fellow Han Taixu may not have this kind of high-level elixir."

Henry Zhang wondered: "Is the sixth-level elixir so scarce in the Dragon Spine Divine Realm?"

Fairy Ling Chen smiled bitterly and explained, "Of course there is no shortage of sixth-grade elixirs. The thirty-three rivers have seventh-grade and even eighth-grade spiritual veins, so how can there be a shortage of sixth-grade elixirs? It's just that these sixth-grade elixirs are generally controlled by the core forces of the thirty-three rivers. If we want to have them, we must reach a high level of Dragon Spine Order to be eligible to exchange for sixth-grade elixirs."

Zhang Xuan asked: "How can I make the Dragon Spine Order reach a high level?"

Fairy Lingchen replied: "There are many ways, for example, if your realm advances to the fusion state, the Dragon Spine Order will naturally reach a high level."

Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly: "For us Void Refining cultivators, if we want to advance to the Fusion stage, we don't know when we will have to wait."

Fairy Lingchen nodded: "Yes, another way is to make enough contributions to the Dragon Spine Palace, such as killing a cultivator with the same Void Refining level in the pioneering war, or handing over 500,000 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones as spoils to the Dragon Spine Palace."

Henry Zhang was shocked when he heard this: "We have to hand over the spoils of 500,000 top-grade spirit stones? How long will it take to accumulate them?"

Fairy Lingchen sighed, "Among our group, I'm afraid only the eldest brother has the potential to accumulate so many merits and make the Dragon Spine Order reach a high level."

Henry Zhang asked again: "Then can I go to the boss to buy the sixth-level elixir?"

Fairy Ling Chen shook her head: "This is not realistic."

"Why?"

"Having a high-level Dragon Spine Token only qualifies you to exchange for a sixth-level elixir. If you want to exchange it, you won't be able to do so without thousands of Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones."

"A sixth-grade elixir costs thousands of Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones!" Zhang Xuan was shocked again. "As far as I know, the prices of sixth-grade formations, sixth-grade talismans, and even sixth-grade spiritual objects are fixed. A sixth-grade spirit valley like Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley only costs one Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stone per pound. This sixth-grade elixir costs thousands of yuan. The price difference is too big!"

Fairy Ling Chen also sighed, "Who says it's not true? The main reason is that the cultivation of sixth-grade spiritual medicine is extremely difficult. It takes more than a hundred years, and the survival rate is less than 10%. The cost is extremely high. Even if there are sixth-grade spiritual medicines, the success rate of refining sixth-grade spiritual pills is only 20%. This is why the price of sixth-grade spiritual pills remains high. There is no market for them even though they are priced high. They are the sought-after items that all Void Refining cultivators dream of."

At this moment, Zhang Xuan finally understood why the Lord of the World tried every means to allow him to obtain the materials for refining the sixth-level elixir from the Shattered Star Abyss.

It turns out that the sixth-level elixir is so difficult to obtain for the Void Refining cultivators.

He thought of Neihe's core disciple You Wuya, who could easily produce several sixth-level elixirs, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "In the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs!"

Since he couldn't get a sixth-tier elixir, Zhang Xuan had to settle for the next best thing and exchanged some useful fifth-tier elixirs from Fairy Ling Chen, as well as various natural treasures needed to replenish the seven divine veins.

These are all required for the cultivation of a half-step refining cultivator. For Fairy Lingchen, it is not difficult to provide them. Moreover, the Taixu Qingshen spiritual object is very precious to her. If she can integrate it into her inner space, her realm can be further improved.

After Zhang Xuan completed the transaction, he returned to his cave.

Although he failed to exchange for the sixth-grade elixir and the Xinglan Blood Spirit Valley required for physical cultivation this time, he did exchange for a large amount of cultivation materials needed by half-step refining cultivators, and the growth of the seedling of the Origin Divine Tree was guaranteed.

As long as he makes rational use of these resources and practices steadily, as the seedlings of the Origin Divine Tree grow branches and leaves, he will be able to start opening up his inner space and break through to the realm of refining emptiness.

On this long journey of cultivation, every time resources are acquired and traded, they are contributing to climbing to a higher level. Although the road ahead is full of hardships and challenges, Zhang Xuan understands that only by continuous accumulation and steady development can he gain a foothold in the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm where the strong are respected.
