The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Chapter 215 - 136: The Test of Refining the Golden Elixir 2



“Thank you, sir. May I ask if I can enter different gardens for cultivation, or enter a cave mansion to cultivate?” He expressed his gratitude with a bow and then asked his question.

“As long as you can make it in, I won’t stop you,” Zhang Dao Xuan said casually. If this young man can break through the formation of the Medicinal Gardens, then it only shows his capabilities.

“Thank you once again, sir.” A radiant smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face. This

gave him the opportunity to test his instant teleportation ability, or he could apply the principle of ‘learning from past mistakes’ to comprehend the formation of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. He could also attempt to have the guardian beast take him in.

Zhang Dao Xuan lightly nodded, “Alright, your test starts now. You have eight years. As a tester, you can teleport to any major area within the secret realm.”

“Of course, you can only teleport to the vicinity and not directly inside the location. You will have to figure out the specifics. From now on, you are not allowed to touch any part of the secret realm.”

After finishing his words, he gently waved his hand. A beam of spiritual energy flew into Lin Yi’s mind. It contained the positioning of teleportation arrays in various parts of the secret realm as well as the Spell to use them.

The positions were mainly at critical locations like the Medicinal Gardens, Cave Mansions, Alchemy Rooms, and the locations of some valuable wild spiritual herbs.

As expected from Elder Dan God, he is unrivalled in Alchemy Dao and Path of

Array. Probably, the entire secret realm is covered under his array

He also has the secret technique to teleport into the Dan God Secret Realm from the outside world.

“With this matter dealt with, I’ll be on my way,” Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand gently, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Seeing Zhang Dao Xuan’s figure slowly fading, Lin Yi quickly asked, “Elder Dan God, can I teleport into the secret realm from anywhere in the outer world?

The Liu Yun Sect Inner Door has a defensive array, and there’s also the Nascent

Soul True Monarch. Will I be blocked, or will they detect me?”

Zhang Dao Xuan turned back and smiled lightly, “Do you think my Path of Array is just for show? You can enter the secret realm from anywhere in the Heng Yuan World…” With that, his figure immediately vanished.

Listening to this domineering statement, Lin Yi couldn’t help but be amazed. A great man indeed! His confidence was truly admirable.

Remembering the teleportation mantra he just received, he shook his head. Now he could teleport to the entrance of any Medicinal Garden, but unfortunately, he could no longer pick any spiritual herbs.

At that moment, he thought of something, and his eyes lit up instantly. He couldn’t pick any spiritual herbs in the secret realm, but he wasn’t restricted from using those picked by others.

A bright smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face. He said, “Don’t blame me, fellow Daoists. The Dan God legacy is too difficult. The resources required to become a high-level entry-level Pill Master are massive.”

Although he got some valuable spiritual herbs from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, at most, they would only allow him to become a direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren. They won’t provide infinite cultivation resources.

What’s more, what he needed most were not cultivation resources, but alchemy resources.

Now he could enter the secret realm twice a month. Hence, he could leave the obtained spiritual herbs in the secret realm. He could use them when he entered the secret realm, instead of taking them back to the Liu Yun Sect and stuffing them into the warehouse.

Standing at the top of the mountain, Lin Yi looked at the surrounding Five

Elements Region and decided to deal with the people of Xuan Yin Sect first. Those guys were sinister and cruel, and they had killed many people. Killing them could also be seen as serving justice for Heaven.

Moreover, it would increase his Virtue Points and Good Person Value. It would also alleviate his current shortage of resources for alchemy. Why not?

The Xuan Yin Sect ranked third and got ten spots. He killed two of them in the Wood Element area, so there were eight people left.

After some thought, he decided to go to the nearby Water Element area to have a look first. It was also a quite comfortable place to be. Likely there should be many people who were teleported here.

However, directly killing the people of Xuan Yin Sect in front of other Righteous Sect Cultivators might lead to unnecessary trouble in the future, even if their memories were erased afterward.

In that case, he could only use the virtual character from his Path of Survivor title. Even if their memories were restored later, they could only remember Tian Ba.

Lin Yi immediately used his virtual character, complete with an instant costume change. The whole character’s image turned into Tian Ba, filled with a sense of supreme aura from head to toe.

He was not worried that Elder Dan God would learn about his change of appearance. He probably would consider it as part of some kind of Secret Technique.

Afterward, he used a spell to form a water mirror and looked at his appearance, nodding in satisfaction. However, his cultivation level also needed to be adjusted. After all, he was at the Qi Refining Eight Stage.

Among all the cultivators who had entered the secret realm, he was the only one at the Qi Refining Eighth Stage.

However, the current title effect of [Elite Survivor] was +4 realm concealment, a fixed effect beyond his control.

Moreover, he only obtained this title after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so the added layer of concealment effect would only take effect after breaking through to the next cultivation level.

Otherwise, he would have just put on the [Petty Survivor] title, which he previously considered useless.

Lin Yi had conducted experiments before. When two titles of the same stage were put on, a collision of title effects would occur. This was a caveat of upgradeable beginner titles.

That is, effects of titles from two stages couldn’t be stacked. One had to choose one and use it as the sole effect.

If his +4 realm concealment were fully in effect, he could wear the [Petty Survivor] and choose +3 realm concealment as the sole effect. That way, his manifest cultivation level would increase by one layer.

He wasn’t surprised by this clash of title effects. After all, if his two survivor titles could be used in tandem, his realm concealment would be directly at +7.

With his actual cultivation level at the first layer of Foundation Establishment reduced by 7 layers, he would then be at Qi Refining Level Four. That would be too exaggerated.

However, Lin Yi had already thought of a solution. He initiated the Concealing

Breath Technique and controlled his apparent cultivation level at Qi Refining Sixth Layer. That way, paired with the appearance of Tian Ba, others would only see him as a mysterious expert hiding in the secret realm.

Moreover, with his current Foundation Establishment cultivation using the

Great Perfection Concealing Breath Technique, not to mention Qi refining Level Nine cultivators, even Early Foundation Stage cultivators wouldn’t be able to see through it.

He looked at the title on his body, equipped the [Petty Compassion and Mercy] to ward off attacks from evil spirits, then used the Teleportation Mantra to teleport himself to the entrance of his cave mansion.

When he first arrived on the island, he was immediately teleported to the mountaintop by Elder Dan God without even getting a chance to approach the cave mansion.

This cave mansion was also built along the side of the mountain. Even outside the cave mansion, one could feel the rich spiritual energy around. Inside the cave mansion, the energy of the five elements converged, making it the place with the densest spiritual energy in the entire secret realm.

Unlike the small thatched house of the medicine garden and the alchemy room that he had seen earlier, this cave mansion was a large courtyard, exuding an elegant and fairy-like aura.

Lin Yi tried to enter, only to find himself blocked by an invisible wall. Shaking his head, it seemed he wouldn’t be able to enter the cave mansion.

After all, the test he was taking was for the inheritance of Elder Dan God, not for the cave mansion.

He didn’t waste any time. He added a layer of defense shield for himself, then activated the teleportation spell. Various teleportation points appeared before his eyes. He pointed towards the lakeside in the water element area, and his surroundings instantly changed.

When he came to his senses, he had already arrived at the lakeside in the water element area.

At this moment, Lin Yi stiffened, looking around cautiously with a solemn expression on his face. There were only a few bodies here, no living people. Had there been a conflict previously?

He slowly approached and checked the bodies. His expression changed slightly. One of the cultivators in Sky Sword Sect attire had something burst out from his body, and his internal flesh and blood had been almost consumed.

Apart from him, there were mortal sword wounds on two of the other three bodies. The third seemed to have been killed by a demonic path cultivator. All were cultivators from the righteous sects, among whom one was a fellow disciple from the Liu Yun Sect and Shen Huo Peak.

Lin Yi’s expression darkened. If nothing had gone awry, the Xuan Yin Sect cultivator in this water element area had succeeded in his plot, planting the evil spirit in a Sky Sword Sect cultivator and killing others beside the lake outside the cave mansion.

As long as he escaped afterward and wasn’t caught, all these memories would be erased. Even if others chased him to the outside of the cave mansion and those memories were retained, it wouldn’t matter.

Because after erasing this important memory near the cave mansion, they would only remember vaguely chasing someone but wouldn’t remember why they were chasing and who they were chasing..
