The Path of Survivor begins with obtaining titles

Meanwhile, Gold Sword Zen Ren had issued an announcement. The news was that Lin Yi, who had secured the precious spiritual grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden in the Dan God Secret Realm last time, would be holding a ten-day lecture series.

The main objective is to explain how to better gain the trust of the guardian beasts, increase the chances of getting precious spiritual grass and the preparation of spirit beast’s favorite food, amongst other things.

This lecture series is not only aimed at the disciples of the Liu Yun Sect about to enter the Secret Realm but is also open to outsiders. The cost is negotiable, and disciples from Medicine God Valley have already confirmed their participation.

This news has swiftly circulated throughout the entire Heng Yuan Cultivation World via various channels, drawing the interest of many sects.

It’s an open secret in the Heng Yuan World that a disciple of the Liu Yun Sect has obtained the precious spiritual grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

Although some sect disciples have seen Lin Yi feed the green giant python, the guardian of the Medicine Garden, in the Secret Realm, they do not know what kind of food the spirit beast prefers or how to get the spirit beast to eat it.

If they can increase their chances of securing the precious spiritual grass via this lecture series, it would be a sound choice. Of course, they will need to get clarification on the cost.

Thus, Golden Core Masters from several sects have all reached out through news channels to inquire about the fees at the Liu Yun Sect.

However, the Liu Yun Sect gave everyone the same response; the fees are negotiable and they will not entertain inquiries through news channels.

This response has left several sects quite indignant, yet no one can compete with Lin Yi from the Liu Yun Sect, who is the only one to have sourced the precious spiritual grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.

The news was met with resignation at Medicine God Valley as the agreement made between their Nascent Soul True Monarch and the Liu Yun Sect’s Nascent Soul True Monarch didn’t stipulate that Lin Yi would share his experience exclusively with their disciples.

Concerning lodging complaints against the Liu Yun Sect, it was simply laughable. Liu Yun Sect was much stronger than the Medicine God Valley, and some areas of Medicine God Valley relied heavily on Liu Yun Sect. The relationship between the two sects remained amicable.

This slight issue wouldn’t be enough to sully their relationship.

When they reported this issue to Elder Master Dan Yang, he only responded, “The Liu Yun Sect is entitled to do so.”

Soon after, rumors began to circulate in the Cultivation World. Two Golden Core Masters from Sky Sword Sect were the first to arrive at Liu Yun Sect to discuss the Dan God Secret Realm’s lecture series.

This time, the Dan God Secret Realm will open within the Sky Sword Sect’s territory, and they have secured the most slots, eleven in total. Hence, many of their disciples would be teleported to the wood-element area.

Consequently, this lecture would prove most beneficial to them.

Sky Sword Sect chose not to clear these rumors, effectively making it a fact.

Seeing this, other sects couldn’t ignore it. In this Dan God Secret Realm trip, only the Medicine Garden will open. Dao Pill Room Cave Mansion, among others, will remain closed off.

So, towards the end, many disciples from the wood-element region probalbly will gather in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. If the disciples from other sects took this lecture and secured the precious spiritual grass while their disciples didn’t, they would be at a significant loss.

Therefore, except for the Sky Sword Sect and Medicine God Valley, the other seven sects also dispatched their Golden Core Masters to the Liu Yun Sect, including the heretic sects, such as the He Huan Sect.

As a result, the Liu Yun Sect became a hub of activity as, apart from the confirmed Medicine God Valley, the Golden Core Masters from the other eight major sects gathered in an unprecedented scene that was rare to witness in hundreds of years.

Even though the Dan God Secret Realm had opened twice within the Liu Yun Sect’s territory, the Golden Core Masters had only gathered in the nearby mountains and never set foot in the Liu Yun Sect.

The Liu Yun Sect hosted a simple welcoming ceremony for these visiting Golden Core Masters belonging to the eight major sects. After all, these sects were looking for something from them, not the other way round.

The Cultivation World could be quite harsh and ruthless, strictly operating on survival of the fittest. There was no need for any formalities to foster relationships since the so-called brotherhood of the sect could easily turn on you once your strength declined.

After the welcome ceremony, several Golden Core Masters from Liu Yun Sect responsible for negotiations held separate meetings with the Golden Core Masters from each sect.

Included among them were Gold Sword Zen Ren, Drunken Immortal, and Divine Fire Zen Ren, covering all bases.

Gold Sword Zen Ren was chill and sharp; Drunken Immortal was an amiable old man, and Divine Fire Zen Ren had an explosive temper, always ready with snide remarks dripping with sarcasm.

Following Lin Yi’s suggestion, they put forth two options for these sects—one was to pay in spirit stones or other things as fees for the lecture series. The fee per disciple was around eighty thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, participants should come as a group. Individuals or small groups attending to later share the information would not be allowed.

The other option was to halve the fee with an added condition: if a disciple from their sect obtained the precious spiritual grass from the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, Liu Yun Sect would take half the share.

When Lin Yi first found out the prices set by the Golden Core Masters, he was quite taken aback. He originally proposed fifty thousand spirit stones per disciple, but the Golden Core Masters quoted a much higher price.

If each sect sent their minimum quota of five disciples to attend the lecture series, they would have to shell out at four hundred thousand spirit stones. Consider that, a mere Supreme-grade Spirit Flying Sword would only cost around a hundred thousand spirit stones.
