Chapter 721 649: Another Increase in Daily Potential Point Collection, Bloodline Cross-Realm Array

This situation naturally involved a complex distribution of benefits, but Yang Chan wasn't yet in a position to participate. However, he took advantage of the new Demon Cave ruins to exchange for a large quantity of Top Level Spiritual Materials, even acquiring some rare ones to stockpile for now.

This was because some of these materials were ingredients for the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill, an elixir that aided a Grandmaster's Third Bone Marrow Cleansing. Since the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill was linked to advancing to the rank of Top Level Pharmacist, its ingredients represented a major threshold. They were exceedingly difficult to trade for, and even Third Level Alchemists at the Pill Pavilion couldn't always acquire them.

Now that he had the chance, Yang Chan naturally wouldn't miss it. He would first accumulate a portion of the ingredients and attempt to refine the elixir once his abilities were sufficient.

He was only able to do this thanks to his own recent efforts, coupled with help from Princess Lan Yue, which allowed him to accumulate a large number of elixirs and earn many Contribution Points.

Plus, since the opportunity had presented itself, he certainly wasn't going to let it pass.

Therefore, in a sense, the appearance of new ruins in the Demon Cave had actually brought Yang Chan quite a few benefits.

Although he hadn't entered the ruins himself, he still reaped the rewards—a benefit that only came from being part of a major power like the Merak Sacred Land.

Without sufficient strength, entering such dangerous ruins would have been extremely perilous.

Besides the harvest from the Demon Cave ruins, the members of the Merak Sacred Land had clashed with the Earth Demons inside, suffering considerable casualties. However, most of the fallen were weaker External Cultivation Disciples; the Inner Refining experts and Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmasters suffered few losses. Yang Chan also got a look at what these Earth Demons from the Demon Cave looked like.

They were humanoid creatures with ferocious features and sunken eyes, looking as if they were severely degenerated.

He saw the corpses of these Earth Demons being taken to the Internal Affairs Bureau, and from there, they were ultimately delivered into the hands of the Top Level Pharmacists.

Yang Chan knew that all the major Holy Lands possessed alchemy methods to refine elixirs from the corpses of these Alien Races. The resulting elixirs contained extremely high levels of Qi and Blood, which was beneficial for Martial Arts Cultivation.

However, successful refining required extremely advanced techniques that Yang Chan had not yet encountered. Furthermore, this method was considered a violation of natural harmony and its dissemination was forbidden. During the refining process, it was strictly prohibited to use it on members of the Human Race.

Alien Races and Exotic Beasts, however, were not included in this restriction.

In fact, Yang Chan had heard rumors about this back in his Cyan Yuan Sect days but didn't know if they were true. But after coming to the Merak Sacred Land and becoming a Steward of the Spirit Medicine Tower, he had read many books related to Pharmacists and found records of it.

The most emphasized point was the prohibition against using it on the Human Race. Anyone discovered doing so would be hunted down as a follower of the Demon Dao—an existence considered even more abhorrent than the likes of the Taiyin Demon Sect. Even typical Demon Dao masters didn't dare to do such a thing, as it was a violation of natural harmony that would easily incur the wrath of both heaven and man, provoking all the major powers to unite and attack them.

At present, Yang Chan had yet to come into contact with this alchemy method, nor had he ever seen the related elixirs. It was said that a batch of these elixirs would only be circulated once in a while.

They were typically only released during major battles against the Earth Demons in the Demon Cave. This was because after consuming the elixir, the boost in Qi and Blood also helped one adapt to the harsh environment of the Demon Cave, making it easier to fight the Alien Races within.

Yang Chan had never seen or consumed one, so he didn't know the specific details.

However, he had heard that everyone who entered the Demon Cave this time had taken these special elixirs.

He planned to get his hands on some of these elixirs later to see if they could increase his Daily Potential Point Collection. This type of elixir wasn't made through traditional refining, but by a much bloodier method. It was said that one could not consume too many, or their Qi and Blood would become tainted with the aura of the Alien Race, thereby affecting their cultivation.

Yang Chan had only read about the specific effects in books. To truly understand them, he would have to personally examine the elixir's medicinal properties and analyze them himself.

"A treasure among the Alien Races that could prompt the Merak Saint Son to go in person must be something extraordinary. It could be related to a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array!"

The Black Dragon within the Profound Yin Hanging Bead floated to the side, speaking slowly.

Yang Chan had been living a very stable life recently, continuously familiarizing himself with the Holy Land and reading all sorts of texts related to Pharmacists. This was not what the Black Dragon had anticipated.

He had hoped Yang Chan would spend some time investigating matters concerning the Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, but Yang Chan paid it no mind, continuing to proceed at his own pace.

The Black Dragon's reminder at this moment was an attempt to make Yang Chan take the matter more seriously.

"If Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays were that easy to find, the Merak Sacred Land wouldn't have so many Blood Exchange Martial Saint masters standing guard on Heaven-Reaching Supreme Mountain!"

After his promotion to Third Level Alchemist, Yang Chan had learned even more secrets.

Those Blood Exchange Martial Saint masters were almost all in seclusion on the mountain's peak. The Supreme Elder who had previously gone out to exterminate the Alien Race was one such example. He had never heard of any of them leaving the Taiyu Divine Continent.

Of course, it was possible he simply hadn't been exposed to those secrets yet, but he estimated that the truth wasn't far from what he currently knew.

It was just as the Array Spirit of the Solitary Void Trial Array had told him back in the Purple Void Secret Realm: the Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays of the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty had all been destroyed by an unknown entity, who was very likely one of the legendary experts to have reached the level of a True God.

Therefore, such an existence had likely destroyed not only the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty's teleportation arrays but all the Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays in the entire Taiyu Divine Continent.

Back then, even the most powerful force in the Taiyu Divine Continent, the Purple Void Imperial Dynasty, had been powerless to resist, to say nothing of the other factions.

'If my guess is correct, then leaving the Taiyu Divine Continent is incredibly difficult. It might even require breaking through to the Divine Acupoint Realm. For most people on the Taiyu Divine Continent, that's basically a dead end. For me, however, it just means I'll need to spend a few more years.'

'If this is the current state of affairs, then what I know about the Merak Sacred Land is likely the truth. It would mean that the Merak Sacred Land is indeed searching for a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array, but they just haven't found one yet.'

This was why Yang Chan didn't want to spend too much energy on the matter for the time being. His current situation was a major factor. In the Pill Pavilion, his Daily Potential Point Collection was constantly increasing, his Pharmacist Ability was rapidly improving, and his Martial Arts Cultivation was progressing in an orderly fashion.

His circumstances in the Merak Sacred Land were very stable. He wasn't at the center of the storm and could operate with relative discretion. As such, he naturally didn't have much time to search for some illusory Cross-Realm Teleportation Array.

Although the many Spirit Medicines promised by the Array Spirit of the Solitary Void Trial Array were tempting, there was no rush. At the very least, he was able to accumulate some Spirit Medicine every day as things were.

Besides, he had recently been trying to refine elixirs like the Spirit Turtle Marrow Protection Pill, the Snake Mushroom Lock Marrow Pill, the Purple Gold Condensing Marrow Pill, the Marrow Absorption Returning Primordial Pill, and the Snow Lotus Nourishing Marrow Pill. Once he could refine Top Quality versions of these, his Daily Potential Point Collection would increase even more. This was a tangible improvement, so he was naturally more invested in it.

As for the new ruins in the Demon Cave, it was enough that Han Bingyu was keeping an eye on it. If there were benefits to be had, he could use his current status to claim a share. Even if there really was a Cross-Realm Teleportation Array inside, he would naturally gain access to it once his status rose high enough.

Since that was the case, he was in even less of a hurry.

"It's hard to say with these Alien Races. They have their own legacies and methods for building special Cross-Realm Teleportation Arrays. I seem to recall they can use their bloodline to communicate with their kin outside this realm, allowing them to construct a bloodline-based Cross-Realm Array. They can also quickly set up temporary teleportation arrays with cross-realm capabilities."

"If such a Grand Array exists in the new Demon Cave ruins and you miss it, you might not get another chance!"

The Black Dragon shared what little he knew about the Alien Races' situation.

It was a method that used one's bloodline as a conduit to connect across realms, allowing for the rapid construction of a Cross-Realm Array. However, such an array would be unstable and not last long. Still, in the Black Dragon's eyes, it was a viable way to leave the Taiyu Divine Continent.

In these Realms that lacked Divine Veins, it was difficult to achieve anything significant in Martial Arts Cultivation. Even though he could see that Yang Chan possessed an Innate Physique, he still held this belief and saw no reason to change his mind.

An Innate Physique also needed a cultivation world with Divine Veins to flourish. The stronger the Divine Vein, the greater the amplification for the Innate Physique, and only then could one have limitless future potential!
