“Senior, have you gained anything?” Li Fan asked from a distance, without approaching.

“Hehe, I am lucky.” A smug expression flashed across Chen Ying’s face, saying,

“The residual Frostforce here is extraordinary, akin to the Frost Intent

Heartless Pill I refined. It also has a calming effect and stabilizes emotions.”

“In fact, the level of this force even surpasses that of the Frost Intent Heartless Pill. With this insight, I’m confident in improving the elixir recipe. The improved Heartless Pill should significantly enhance its effect.”

An envious look crossed Li Fan’s face, and he said: “Unfortunately, my talent is dull, and I failed to sense the Frostforce as the senior did. Such an opportunity is right in front of me, yet I can’t comprehend it, causing me great grief! ”

Chen Ying laughed, “This force’s source level is even above that of Nascent Soul. It’s normal for a small Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you to not be able to sense it.”

“If I had not been frequently consuming Frost Intent Heartless Pill and become extremely familiar with similar kinds of force, I would hardly have detected its presence. ”

Looking at Li Fan, Chen Ying comforted, “Your contribution to my significant gain this time is undeniable. I won’t renege. So, what do you want as your reward? Contribution points? Elixirs? Or anything else?”

Li Fan’s expression became solemn, “I dare not reap the rewards of your achievements. It all depends on the senior’s decision!”

Chen Ying was quite pleased with Li Fan’s attitude.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade Tianxuan Mirror and transferred thirty thousand contribution points to Li Fan on the spot.

Then, he handed Li Fan a spirit symbol and said, “Contribution points are the most versatile. Whatever you need, you can buy it from Tianxuan Mirror. This is my Communication Talisman. If you need anything related to alchemy in the future, you can contact me.”

“Uh….

It appeared that he remembered something, and Chen Ying proceeded, “By the way, I may not be in the Cloud Sea recently. Our headquarters have recently discovered a secret realm which has been closed for thousands of years. It has extremely strong wood-attribute spiritual energy, which is ideal for cultivating various spiritual plants. People have been selected from various places by the headquarters to exploit it.”

“I have received a notice that I should go there. You might not be able to reach me then.”

On hearing this, Li Fan got a clue. He realized that this secret realm must be the culprit that caused the drastic drop in the price of Spirit Mist Grass. Moreover, it wasn’t just the Spirit Mist Grass. The prices of most herbs and spiritual plants on the market would also be affected by its production, leading to a price crash.

What was even more surprising was that there were four other secret realms hidden near the wood-attribute secret realm.

The Five Great Secret Realms, representing the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, formed a vague formation.

This later sparked a contest between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization.

Yet, you’ve just casually disclosed such secret information. Is it really okay?”

Li Fan looked at Chen Ying, feeling a mix of wanting to laugh and cry.

This man seemed to not really have any intrigue at all.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ying took out another Communication

Talisman, “This is my assistant, Mu Rong’s Talisman. He is a Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator and is quite good at alchemy. When I’m not here, you can contact him. I will let him know before I leave.”

Li Fan put away the two talismans and gratefully said, “Thank you for your generosity, senior. I will never forget this great kindness!”

“Hahaha! It’s fate that brings us together. I find you somewhat agreeable, so I can’t help but take more care of you. As for the kindness, it’s not a big deal!” Chen Ying waved it off, undermining its importance.

“I have to go back and study how to improve the Elixir Recipe. I can’t stay here any longer.”

After Chen Ying finished speaking, he was about to leave.

“Senior, hold on!” Li Fan stopped him.

“Oh? What else do you want?” Chen Ying was slightly surprised.

Seeing that Li Fan was hesitant and seemingly unsure whether to speak up or not, Chen Ying frowned and ordered: “Don’t stand on ceremony! Just speak your mind ! ”

Li Fan had gauged this person’s character and felt comfortable speaking his mind.

So he started asking, “Earlier, I heard the senior saying ‘the exploration of the

Fallen Immortal Realm will go deeper.’

“Since I began cultivation, I’ve known that there are supreme powers in the

Unity-Path and Immortal Realm.”

“But, I’ve never heard any rumors about the [Immortal].”

“So, I’m exceedingly curious about the Fallen Immortal Realm the senior mentioned. ”

“What kind of place is this Fallen Immortal Realm? Is there really a True Immortal who has fallen in it?”

Li Fan’s burning gaze was filled with an infinite desire for knowledge, which was firmly locked onto Chen Ying.

“Oh, it’s about that!” Chen Ying realized.

Instead of answering Li Fan’s question directly, he asked, “What is your current cultivation level?”

Due to the influence of the Trace Erasure Talisman, Chen Ying couldn’t see Li Fan’s true cultivation level.

“I’m currently in the Final Stage Foundation Establishment.” Li Fan replied truthfully.

“Final Stage Foundation Establishment…”

Chen Ying reflected for a moment, then proceeded, “Originally, only those above the Golden Core stage could be made privy to this matter. But since you’re already at the Final Stage Foundation Establishment, you must be close to breaking through to the Golden Core Stage.”

“Learning it in advance wouldn’t cause much harm.”

Chen Ying paused for a moment and warned with a solemn face, “However, always bear in mind, understand the existence of the Fallen Immortal Realm, don’t try to explore before advancing to the Golden Core phase. If your spiritual strength is not enough and you try to explore it, you may not only harm your spiritual perception but also cause damage to your cultivation foundation. In severe cases, it can even make reaching the Golden Core hopeless.”

“Not enough spiritual strength?” Li Fan repeated silently in his heart and nodded.

He immediately reacted and asked somewhat surprised, “This Fallen Immortal

Realm… Can I also explore it?”

Chen Ying chuckled mildly and said, “Hehe, not just you. All cultivators in the Xuanhuang World can enter it and explore on their own.”

“However, Golden Core Stage cultivators can only just barely operate in the Fallen Immortal Realm, thanks to their spiritual strength. If you want to truly explore freely, you will have to wait until you reach the Nascent Soul Stage.”

Even more profound curiosity sparked in Li Fan’s mind, “Where exactly is this Fallen Immortal Realm?”

Chen Ying, with his hands clasped behind his back, sighed deeply, “Fallen

Immortal Realm..

“Is everywhere.”

“Everywhere?” Li Fan was taken aback.

“Yes.” Chen Ying nodded. “In any place in the Xuanhuang World, you can enter the Fallen Immortal Realm at any time using specific methods.”

“But, just your consciousness enters, your physical body will not go in.”

On hearing this, Li Fan frowned, “Could it be that the Fallen Immortal Realm is purely a world of consciousness?”

Chen Ying replied, “You could say that. However, it transcends the limits of illusion and reality.”

“The gains inside the Fallen Immortal Realm can be truly brought back to the

Xuanhuang World.”

“And if you die in the Fallen Immortal Realm, at most, your spiritual perception will be damaged. You won’t truly perish.”

“Therefore, the Fallen Immortal realm is the secret realm that cultivators above the Golden Core Stage are most passionate to explore.” Li Fan immediately recognized the value of the Fallen Immortal Realm.

“What’s inside this Fallen Immortal Realm?” Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s Inside?” Chen Ying chuckled.

He gestured around and said, “Whatever is here, is also there in the Fallen

Immortal Realm..”
