I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 746: Chapter 399: Master Qingyang (Part 2)

Under the guidance of Master Qingyang, Li Mu’s progress in alchemy was incredibly smooth. Soon, a burst of medicinal fragrance wafted through the air, coming from the alchemy furnace, invigorating the senses and refreshing the spirit.

Li Mu cautiously lifted the lid of the furnace, only to see the pills shimmering within, lying quietly, emitting an enticing luster.

The Supreme Profound Clarity Pill, which originally had only a thirty percent success rate, was easily refined, much easier than Li Mu’s previous attempts, indicating a significant increase in the success rate.

No wonder he is an Alchemy Saint Master!

Li Mu was elated and continued to consult Master Qingyang on other alchemy skills, completely forgetting about other matters.

Master Qingyang was also happy to exchange alchemy skills with Li Mu to pass the time, and in the process, he taught Li Mu many ancient pill formulas.

"To promote to the Void Refining Realm and refine the Dharma Realm? It’s best to take the Returning Void Pill. With this pill, the difficulty of refining the Divinity Transformation Avatar can be greatly reduced." While discussing refining the Dharma Realm, Master Qingyang transmitted his divine thought to Li Mu.

Li Mu was slightly stunned and quickly transmitted his thought back, asking, "Returning Void Pill, I’ve never heard of it, Senior, could you tell me how to refine the Returning Void Pill."

"Returning Void Pill, such a common spirit pill, and you don’t know it!"

Master Qingyang was slightly stunned, responding to Li Mu’s Dao Divine Thought in surprise. Soon, he realized something, realized something, that he had been asleep in the Soul Realm Pearl for millennia, and hurriedly inquired with his divine thought to Li Mu: "What era is it now?"

Li Mu immediately understood and respectfully transmitted back: "Now, it is Daoxuan Calendar: Year 13,785. In terms of Dao Yuan Calendar, it is Year 35,671."

In the Central State Spirit Realm, this vast region has always had a unique culture and tradition, among which the chronology for calculating time is one of these traditions, and its evolution is closely tied to the first Major Sect of Central State.

In ancient times, the Central State Spirit Realm had adopted various calendars to record the passage of time, with the Dao Yuan Calendar being one of them, carrying a profound history and cultural heritage, witnessing countless heroes’ rise and fall. However, with the passage of time, and the rise and fall of sect powers, some calendars were gradually replaced by new ones.

The Profound Celestial Sword Sect, as the first Major Sect of the Central State Spirit Realm, has influence everywhere.

When the Profound Celestial Sword Sect rose, it set the Daoxuan Calendar as the new standard for recording time throughout the Spirit Realm, unwittingly demonstrating the position of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect in the Central State Spirit Realm.

When Master Qingyang heard Li Mu mention the current calendar, a complex feeling surged in his heart. He slightly closed his eyes, seemingly reminiscing about that distant past, those years and changes he had personally experienced.

Master Qingyang remained silent for a long time after listening, seemingly calculating the time. After a while, he transmitted his thought again: "Dao Yuan Calendar 35,671, I didn’t expect that I would sleep for such a long time, times have changed, I don’t know what the era has turned into now."

Seeing this, Li Mu quickly transmitted his thought, indicating: "Senior, if you want to know the changes of the current era, I am willing to explain it to you in detail."

Master Qingyang slightly nodded, transmitting his thought and asking: "Hmm, isn’t the first Major Sect now the Celestial Dao Sect?"

"In today’s Central State Spirit Realm, the Profound Celestial Sword Sect is the first Major Sect, and no one can shake its position. As for the Celestial Dao Sect, I do not know, Senior!" Li Mu respectfully answered.

Upon hearing this, Master Qingyang nodded slightly, seemingly unsurprised by this answer, and continued transmitting his thought: "Then, what newly emerged experts or forces are there in the Central State now?"

Li Mu pondered for a moment and began to introduce the outstanding cultivators and emerging forces that had appeared in recent years in the Central State Spirit Realm, as well as the rise and influence of these emerging forces. For example, the Nine Demons Sect in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, the Blood Demon Race, Sealed Forbidden Land, and other events.

After listening to Li Mu’s description, Master Qingyang furrowed his brows, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, transmitting his thought: "The Lower Realm Demon Abyss is an evil place that has existed since ancient times, with ferocious demons constantly invading our Central State. It was after much difficulty that they were finally driven out of this world, only to unexpectedly return after so many years."

"Oh! Can Senior tell me about the Demon Abyss during that era?" Li Mu’s spirit lifted, and he inquired curiously.

Master Qingyang’s eyes gleamed with reminiscence, as if he had returned to that turbulent era. He slowly transmitted his thought: "In the year 20,000 of the Dao Yuan Calendar, the first Major Sect in Central State was the Celestial Dao Sect, commanding respect across the world. However, at that time, the passage to and from the Lower Realm Demon Abyss and this world was suddenly opened. Countless demons poured into this world, triggering an unprecedented war between the two realms."

"That war was truly cataclysmic, with the heavens and earth shaken, and the sun and moon losing their light. The Major Sects and forces of this world joined forces to resist the demon invasion. The Celestial Dao Sect, as the first Major Sect at the time, naturally assumed the responsibility of leading the heroes."

...

Master Qingyang seemed to be recalling the horrific scenes of that war, transmitting his thought in succession: "In that war, countless heroes and warriors stood up, engaging in deadly battles with demons. However, the demons were varied, ferocious, and endless in number, wreaking havoc throughout the world. Cultivators everywhere in this world waged a protracted struggle against them, fighting a dark and gruelling battle, paying a huge price. It was not until seven Daoist Monarchs joined forces to seal the Abyssal Passage Secret Realm completely that the war between the two realms finally ended."
