In reality,

Han Yi has always been low-key, especially when it comes to spending money, not letting anyone know how many spirit stones he has in his pocket.

Only a few people who often trade cultivation pills with him, like the female cultivator from Small Guanhai Peak, guess that he must be wealthy, after all, Han Yi’s Alchemy Skill is outstandingly powerful.

While the Xuandan Sect is primarily focused on alchemy, there are many individuals whose Alchemy Skills are indifferent.

If not, the entry criteria for the Inner Peak would not be established based on achieving the seventh tier of cultivation but would instead be based on the level of Alchemy Skills.

Whether it’s the Inner Peak or the Outer Peak, there are many disciples who have not achieved much in alchemy.

Moreover, aside from alchemy, there are others who forge their own path, excelling in talisman crafting, weapon refining, and formation building.

The Xuandan Sect, with over a hundred thousand disciples from inside and outside the sect, is like a mini Cultivation World.

In such a small Cultivation World, those with weaker strengths need to lie low, and if you become stronger, you also need to loosen your attitude a bit.

If you keep repressing yourself and playing it safe, your mental state will become timid sooner or later.

So why would you bother cultivating to become an immortal?

This issue involves finding a balance.

At this moment, Han Yi feels the need to loosen his attitude.

The Drunken Immortal Tower is just the place for this display.

“Tenderly stir-fried flood dragon meat, tenderly steamed phoenix fish, nine-leaf immortal peach soup…”

Zheng Hai couldn’t help but swallow when he saw the eyeful of spiritual food in front of him.

Each of these dishes in front of him is made from expensive spirit beasts and plants, a table full of six dishes, two jars of spirit wine cost a total of forty-eight spirit stones, which is considered luxurious.

“Go ahead and eat, why are you dazing?”

This was Han Yi’s first time being so extravagant as he picked up his chopsticks with his eyes flashing golden light and started gobbling down the food.

Only simple cooking was applied to the delicious ingredients, turning them into culinary delights of the Immortal Path.

The spiritual food melts in the mouth and instantly turns into a warm flow of spirit energy that enters the body. Han Yi couldn’t help but let out a satisfied moan as his whole body’s mana trembles.

Not caring about Zheng Hai, Han Yi kept his chopsticks moving, transferring food to his mouth non-stop.

“Damn, slow down, leave some for me, you asshole.”

Zheng Hai, seeing this, gets anxious and quickly starts gobbling down his food too.

However, because he was sent down the mountain on a mission, he stayed at the first level of qi cultivation for more than a year, with hardly any progress.

His reaction speed and speed of using chopsticks were far inferior to Han Yi’s.

In just one minute,

The six dishes were almost empty, and half of the two jars of spirit wine were gone.

This is the result of the two of them slowing down their drinking, trying to savor the taste. Otherwise, it would have been empty long ago.

“Burp, delicious, it’s so delicious, the boost from this meal is equivalent to more than a year’s worth of my mana increase.”

“Han Yi, how much did you say it cost just now?”

“What? Forty-eight?”

“Holy fuck!!”

Upon hearing confirmation of the cost of the meal, Zheng Hai is both amazed and eager for more.

“This is probably the most extravagant meal that 1’11 ever be able to afford in my lifetime, it’s too luxurious, too expensive.”

“But, 1 can freeload off your banquet in the future.”

Han Yi downs the last of the spirit wine, the spirit energy bursts open in his body, flowing to his limbs, and he feels completely comfortable.

He also feels a sense of marvel.

The cost of this meal is equally high for him.

It’s quite nice to indulge in extravagance occasionally.

After all, spiritual food cannot replace spirit stones and cannot maintain long-term cultivation. Furthermore, with the added high price, it’s cost-effectiveness is far less than that of spirit stones.

“Oh, by the way, Zheng Hai, you just returned from the foot of the mountain, have you heard of any major events happening in our sect recently?”

After several rounds of food and drinks, Han Yi suddenly remembered the news he was supposed to inquire about. Considering that Zheng Hai had just returned from an external assignment, he casually asked him about it.

He didn’t really expect Zheng Hai to know anything.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Hai seemed to know something.

Zheng Hai’s expression became serious, he picked up his jar of wine and came closer, whispering, “Well, indeed, there is one thing. I was planning to tell you about it anyway.”

“You know the Blood God Sect, don’t you?”

Upon hearing the words ‘Blood God Sect’, Han Yi instantly sat upright. His misty eyes that were once lost in the spirit wine became as wide as saucers, he couldn’t be more alert.

“I know, of course, 1 know.”

“It’s a major sect, in terms of territory and strength, they are even stronger than our Xuandan Sect.”

“What happened to the Blood God Sect?”

Han Yi didn’t appear anxious, not that he wasn’t worried deep down, but he knew Zheng Hai would tell him the news he needed in a moment.

Zheng Hai’s face turned serious.

“As you know, over a year ago, I applied for an external assignment, and I was assigned to Gao Du City, which is the farthest to the west of Nanyang County.”

“When I talk about it, I get so angry.”

“I was delegated to the Xuanhuo Pill Shop, and the owner assigned me a multitude of tasks, treating me like free labor. Damn, when I grow in power, I’ll certainly make him pay!”

Zheng Hai’s tone suddenly changed, his eyes flashing dangerously.

“Stop digressing, I am not interested in your external assignment. Tell me about the Blood God Sect.” Han Yi interrupted.

Zheng Hai felt slightly aggrieved, his eyes lost their dangerous gleam, and he continued.

“Not long ago, just as my external assignment was coming to an end, an incident happened.”

“Oh?” Han Yi raised an eyebrow, knowing that Zheng Hai was coming to the point.

Zheng Hai looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them, then he continued in a lowered voice.

“You know about the Xiling vein, don’t you?”

Han Yi looked a little confused, he shook his head to indicate he didn’t know.

“Alright, let me explain, that vein is situated near Xiling City, hence the name Xiling vein, and Xiling City is a city in Taibai County.”

“The Xiling vein is a Spirit Stone mine, that houses our sect’s Foundation Establishment stage cultivators all year round, many Inner Peak disciples were stationed there too, and many loose cultivators from nearby areas were employed to mine the Spirit Stones.”

“Ever since the mine was discovered, the ownership always belonged to the Xuandan Sect.”

“However, for some unknown reason, the Blood God Sect recently claimed that the ownership of the mine was questionable and needed to be re-discussed. Of course, our sect members stationed there thought it was nonsense. They couldn’t reach an agreement and ended up in a skirmish.”

“I heard it was a face-off between four cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage from both sides. If you know about the Blood God Sect, you’d know they’re very combative, much more so than our Xuandan Sect, which primarily focuses on Alchemy Skill.”

“Both sides had the same number of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, but after the skirmish, ours retreated with severe injuries.”

“After this incident, the Xiling vein was occupied by the Blood God Sect, and the rest of our sect members who used to take care of the mine returned to Xiling City.”

“This incident caused quite an uproar at the time.”

“However, our sect suppressed the incident. It did not leak out, and I just thought our sect was being cowardly and didn’t think much of it.”

Upon saying the word ‘cowardly’, Zheng Hai discreetly glanced around again to make sure no one was paying attention before he continued to speak in a low voice.

“But,”

Zheng Hai’s eyes filled with resentment.

“But the subsequent events surprised me again.”

“After the incident at the Xiling vein, in Taibai County, other mines belonging to our sect were usurped by the Blood God Sect in various pretexts within a month. These included Spirit Stone mines, mines for special spiritual metals used in crafting, and unique subterranean spiritual medicine fields.”

“Several confrontations and fights happened in between, and our sect reportedly lost three Foundation Establishment stage overseers, even a Golden Core Supreme Elder was slightly injured, and many disciples at the Alchemy Skill stage died.”

“With the escalation of these incidents, not only in Taibai County but even in the neighboring Gao Du City, rumors started to circulate.”

“Suspecting something unusual, I decided to return as soon as my external assignment ended..”
