In less than an hour, Shang Daocheng arrived at the transmission array set up in the southern part of the Lingxiao Sect.

The few disciples stationed here from the Lingxiao Sect saw Shang Daocheng and all bowed in salute, addressing him as Ancestor.

Shang Daocheng paid no attention to them and directly rushed into the transmission array, disappearing from sight.

At the Lingxiao Sect mountain gate, the light flashed inside the transmission array, and Shang Daocheng appeared there.

He appeared hurried, controlling his sword as he flew towards the main peak.

Inside the Purple Cloud Hall at the main peak, Jiang Yao and two other Nascent Soul elders from the Lingxiao Sect were discussing important matters when Shang Daocheng's voice came from outside: "Sect Leader Master, your disciple has urgent business and seeks an audience."

"Enter."

Jiang Yao's dignified voice came through.

Shang Daocheng slipped inside and upon seeing the two Nascent Soul masters also present, he immediately saluted and knelt, saying: "Greetings, Master, greetings to Elder Jiang and Uncle Hai."

Jiang Yao waved his hand and said: "Dispense with the formalities for now, did you bring back the divine medicine?"

Elder Jiang and Uncle Hai said nothing, merely looking at Shang Daocheng with anticipation and doubt.

Shang Daocheng reached out his hand, and two bottles of genetic liquid medicine appeared from his storage bag. He respectfully handed them towards Master Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao waved his hand, and the two bottles of genetic liquid medicine hovered steadily in the void between him and the two fellow elder brothers.

Looking at these two azure liquids, though separated by glass bottles, the three Nascent Soul stage cultivators could clearly sense the special efficacy of the medicine inside.

The man referred to as Uncle Hai is named Hai Lingfeng, he suddenly furrowed his brow, lightly waving his hand, causing one bottle of genetic liquid to fly in front of him. He waved his hand again, and the bottle cap rotated automatically, opening.

A faint medicinal smell filled the air.

Hai Lingfeng extended a hand, and a drop of azure liquid flew out from the bottle, accurately landing and hovering on his palm.

Hai Lingfeng stared at the drop of azure liquid for a moment, then gently flicked his palm, causing the azure liquid to burst into a mist that filled the void.

The other three people inside the hall quietly watched Hai Lingfeng's actions, none speaking a word.

Not only is Hai Lingfeng the strongest alchemist in the Lingxiao Sect, even in the Southern Domain's cultivation world his alchemical skills are exceptionally high, often renowned cultivators from various sects seek him out hoping he'll refine the special elixirs needed for their advancement.

"This item is indeed extraordinary." Hai Lingfeng's expression turned serious as he said, "This thing seems to assist in cultivation, capable of increasing a cultivator's cultivation speed in the short term, but in reality, its primary effect is far beyond that. It contains something special that seems able to transform human spirit root attributes."

"What?" Elder Jiang was taken aback, exclaiming: "Are these words true?"

Actually, before this, Shang Daocheng had already communicated with Jiang Yao, and during this past time Jiang Yao had already shared the situation with Jiang Jun and Hai Lingfeng.

Yet the three were quite incredulous about such news.

In the cultivation world over countless millennia, the offspring of countless powerful cultivators always lacked spirit roots, rendering them incapable of cultivating and destined to remain as mortals.

These mighty cultivators, in a bid to solve this problem, have researched rigorously, pondering almost every conceivable method.

Yet they remained unable to change this phenomenon.

Now, Shang Daocheng had informed them that in a newly spiritually revived plane mini-world, someone had created a divine medicine capable of allowing those with no spirit roots to develop spirit roots, and enhance the spirit root aptitude of those with poor spirit roots; how could they believe this?

It seems utterly fantastical!

However, now Hai Lingfeng asserts that something within this substance indeed holds a special efficacy capable of transforming spirit root aptitude?

If true, it would shock the entire cultivation world, especially the Southern Domain's cultivation world.

"Quickly find someone to experiment." Jiang Yao promptly decided and spoke.

On hearing this, Jiang Jun took a large bottle of genetic liquid medicine and swiftly left.

The other bottle was collected by Jiang Yao.

Hai Lingfeng looked towards Shang Daocheng and asked: "Is it true that Gan Qian's spirit root aptitude indeed improved?"

Shang Daocheng nodded and replied: "It's absolutely true, this matter was personally recounted by Junior Brother Huang Yuankui. When he took Gan Qian into the sect he personally assessed Gan Qian's spirit root, remembered clearly as dual spirit roots, but now Gan Qian has indeed become a single spirit root."

"About the situation on Earth where there was once detected no spirit root talent, yet resulted in manifesting spirit root talent, is this true?" Jiang Yao asked.

Shang Daocheng shook his head, saying: "This matter I have not personally witnessed, so I do not dare make presumptions, but Lu Chen and Gan Qian did indeed say so."

Hai Lingfeng stood up, addressing Jiang Yao: "Sect Leader Elder Brother, I wish to go there and see."

Shang Daocheng's expression changed slightly, he opened his mouth to offer a reminder, but ultimately said nothing.

Jiang Yao shook his head and said: "Uncle Hai, do not act hastily, this matter is of great import, if those two disciples have spoken truth, then our Lingxiao Sect's collaboration with Earth cultivators could potentially strain relations with the other five cultivation forces."

Hai Lingfeng responded: "A top-grade spirit mine mountain range, together with this divine medicine capable of altering cultivators' spirit root aptitude, and even bestowing spirit roots upon those without them, our Lingxiao Sect must seize this opportunity even at the expense of wagering its future."

Jiang Yao nodded and replied: "I understand, but precisely for this reason, we must proceed with caution and secrecy. Shang Daocheng was originally stationed at that teleportation passage entrance; the sudden return of these two disciples has likely aroused suspicion from other sects. If you appear there now, the other five great forces will undoubtedly deduce a major secret is at hand, leading their powerful figures to arrive."

Hai Lingfeng frowned upon hearing this.

Shang Daocheng hastily said: "Uncle Hai, Master is right, if you were to go now, it would certainly incite suspicion from other sects and families, moreover your presence would not change anything; the transmission passage's restrictions are too dominant, and this Earth space appears to be under special protection from the Heavenly Dao, expanding the transmission passage is unlikely to be achieved swiftly. Were it not for this, how could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator from Earth dare be so brazen as to attempt transactions with us Lingxiao Sect?"

Hai Lingfeng's brows knitted even further, as he looked at Shang Daocheng, he said: "So it seems, our Lingxiao Sect, a distinguished two-star sect, truly has to collaborate with a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator?"

Shang Daocheng naturally understood Hai Lingfeng's dissatisfaction.

Not to mention this Nascent Soul stage Uncle, even as a Core Formation Master himself, he felt displeasure with the approach of the Earth young cultivator.

In the cultivation world, the weak are prey to the strong, and a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator carrying such treasures is already asking for trouble, yet dares to seek collaboration with a two-star sect, truly seeking their own downfall.

Yet ironically, the opponent hides within Earth space, while these powerful figures cannot reach him.

Meanwhile, the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators are incapable of dealing with that young cultivator.

Even eight disciples were confronted with the opponent's killing of one, the remaining seven being forced to submit, swearing oaths by the Heavenly Dao. This represents a profound disgrace to Lingxiao Sect.

According to sect rules, these seven disciples should face severe punishment, yet they brought back such astonishing news, if Lingxiao Sect cannot forcibly conquer Earth, collaborating with the opponent must still rely on these seven disciples, thus their merits outweigh their faults!
