Chapter 571 557: Refining Marrow Like Frost, Solitary Void Trial Array

The Large Array covered a vast area, and there were many Treasures inside.

Yang Chan watched as people from the Merak Sacred Land carried box after box of Spiritual Materials out from the Large Array. Within this large courtyard, the Purple-skinned Alien Race had cultivated a multitude of Spiritual Materials, such as Spirit Medicines and Spirit Grasses.

He also saw Yellow Millet Spirit Rice for the first time. It was rich in Spiritual Qi, and long-term consumption could gradually enhance the body's tempering. This was the advantage of Spirit Rice—it came with no risk of Elixir Poison or developing resistance. Of course, this wasn't a major concern for Yang Chan.

Every day at the stroke of midnight, when the panel in his body refreshed, all elixir impurities were cleansed from him. Consequently, he had no worries about developing resistance or accumulating Elixir Poison, which was naturally a good thing for Yang Chan.

Other people had to leave an interval between taking elixirs to avoid accumulating too much Elixir Poison in their bodies, which would affect their cultivation.

To mitigate this effect, some people would extend the interval even further and simultaneously take elixirs designed for bodily purification to wash away the Elixir Poison.

Another method was to break through to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster realm. The full-body Bone Marrow Cleansing process could wash away all impurities, including Elixir Poison.

After the Third Bone Marrow Cleansing, the body would achieve the state of "Refining Marrow Like Frost"—pure and flawless. This was also preparation for breaking through to become a Blood Exchange Martial Saint.

Before reaching this realm, one had to be mindful of impurities. Even after one's cultivation reached the Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster Realm, they still couldn't consume too many elixirs. Otherwise, their body would once again accumulate Elixir Poison, which would hinder their breakthrough to the Blood Exchange Martial Saint Realm.

However, the higher the grade of the Spiritual Materials, the fewer impurities they contained. Yang Chan had read that Divine Medicines were completely free of impurities and could be consumed directly.

This was something Yang Chan had only read about, and he didn't know if it was true. After all, he had never even seen a Divine Medicine, and the descriptions in books could be exaggerated.

As Yang Chan looked at the Merak Sacred Land's haul, he understood why they looked down on the smaller arrays. The rewards from breaking a smaller array couldn't even compare to a fraction of what a Large Array yielded. The difference was immense.

There was also a considerable amount of Top Level Spirit Medicine. Each stalk was a rare find in the world and could be called a peerless treasure, a truly mouth-watering sight.

Yet the Merak Saintess and her people showed no change in expression upon seeing such a bounty. Clearly, it was a common sight for them.

"Large Arrays are very difficult to break, but the rewards are substantial. The haul from a single Large Array is more than what countless smaller arrays could ever offer!"

"But for the Cyan Yuan Sect, the rewards from those smaller arrays are already quite good!"

Gu An said with a smile, seeing the look on Yang Chan's face.

The first time he had seen such a haul, his reaction had been even more exaggerated than Yang Chan's. The sheer amount of treasure was truly enough to make one drool.

However, he knew his place and didn't do anything out of line.

Now, after seeing it several times, his expression was much more composed, but he couldn't hide the glimmer of envy in his eyes.

'So many Spiritual Materials could nurture an untold number of experts. No wonder the Merak Sacred Land has so many Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters.'

This made Gu An look forward to joining the Merak Sacred Land even more.

'I'll definitely be able to gain more benefits there.'

"Does every Large Array yield such a huge reward?"

Yang Chan also saw disciples of the Merak Sacred Land carrying out volume after volume of Ancient Texts from the buildings. He couldn't tell if they were written in the language of the Purple-skinned Alien Race or if they were books from the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty.

Then, a box was opened and brought out, and Yang Chan recognized the familiar script on the contents. It was the script of ancient texts; he had encountered it while studying medicinal tomes and had some understanding of it.

'Looks like these are books of the Human Race.'

"The haul from this Large Array is the biggest one."

"The deeper you go into the Secret Realm, the better the things you'll find."

Gu An had also seen the script.

"The Cyan Yuan Sect will be allowed to copy the basic information from these Ancient Texts. This is a small reward from the Saintess to our Sect."

Gu An noticed the look in Yang Chan's eyes and continued.

To the Merak Sacred Land, basic knowledge was nothing significant. But if the Cyan Yuan Sect mastered more of it, they could nurture more outstanding disciples. When those disciples were later sent to the Merak Sacred Land, it would naturally benefit her as well.

After all, these people would naturally be aligned with her, so nurturing them in advance was no great effort. Besides, it cost her nothing.

It wasn't as if she were giving away the Sacred Land's unteachable secrets, so it made no difference.

Furthermore, before handing these basic books over to the Cyan Yuan Sect for copying, someone from the Merak Sacred Land would evaluate them. Only suitable ones would be given, so it would be nearly impossible for the Sect to stumble upon some overlooked treasure.

"The more I cultivate, the more I realize how mysterious this world is, how insignificant I am, and how little I know!"

"With this basic knowledge related to cultivation, I can broaden my horizons and be less ignorant!"

Yang Chan was deeply moved.

'This basic knowledge is the foundation. It might seem unimportant, but it's the prerequisite for nurturing outstanding disciples.'

'This is equivalent to laying a foundation in the Cyan Yuan Sect. To advance further, one still needs to go to the Merak Sacred Land to obtain what's necessary for the next stages of cultivation. It's an open and unconcealed strategy.'

'Suitable people will enter the Merak Sacred Land to continue improving, while the unsuitable ones will remain in the affiliated sects.'

'As for those who give up, the Merak Sacred Land won't care. If you don't go, someone else will, and they will ultimately become a member of the Merak Sacred Land.'

BOOM!

Just as Gu An was about to say something, a loud explosion suddenly rang out, catching everyone's attention.
