Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi

Chapter 382: News of Returning to Merak Sacred Land

"Taiyin Heaven is closed?"

Yang Chan had received a great deal of news about Taiyin Heaven lately, so he was a bit surprised to hear it had closed.

"According to one theory, the Thousand Feather Secret Realm that recently appeared in Silver State was part of Taiyin Heaven. It’s very possible that because the Thousand Feather Secret Realm manifested early, Taiyin Heaven closed half a month ahead of schedule."

Han Bingyu was sharing one of the possibilities she had heard, and it was considered the most likely.

When the Silver State Thousand Feather Secret Realm appeared, there was a tall tower inside. A Bone Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster from Night Listening Sea Tower attempted to enter but returned gravely injured. He had been wounded by the tower’s power, which was quite similar to the power of the towers within Taiyin Heaven.

"Another rumor is that a tall tower within Taiyin Heaven disappeared. It’s very likely someone obtained the tower’s inheritance, causing Taiyin Heaven to close early."

"However, not many people believe this theory. In the past, even when someone obtained an inheritance from one of Taiyin Heaven’s towers, it never caused the realm to close prematurely."

"But because a tall tower in Taiyin Heaven did disappear, many people are speculating about who received the inheritance."

"It’s said that various major powers have been attacked by people trying to find out who obtained the inheritance from the tower in Taiyin Heaven."

Han Bingyu continued to relay the information she had gathered. The news had been kept quiet at first, but as time went on and more people learned of it, it was no longer a secret.

Most of this information came through the Han Family and was delivered to the Cyan Yuan Sect as soon as it was received.

It wasn’t just for Yang Chan, but for the Cyan Yuan Sect as a whole.

"So many theories... I imagine a lot of Spirit Medicine must have appeared in Taiyin Heaven this time."

Yang Chan’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained perfectly unchanged.

’No one but me knows that I entered the Taiyin Celestial Tower.’

’There’s also the Black Dragon Soul Body, but it’s still hibernating. I have no idea how long it will take to wake up.’

’I’ve placed it in the space inside the Profound Yin Hanging Bead, so it isn’t affecting me for now. Besides, I’m the master of the Profound Yin Hanging Bead, so the Black Dragon Soul Body is under my control. There’s no way it could be exposed.’

With that thought, Yang Chan felt much more at ease and turned the conversation back to the Spirit Medicine.

’I don’t plan on using the Spirit Medicine I currently have. I’ll use some of the Spirit Medicine from Taiyin Heaven during the Refining process, and save the rest to refine more Advanced Elixirs.’

’I’ll need to prepare for Elixirs like the Five Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill and the Seven Revolutions Nourishing Organ Pill once I finish Tempering my Sixth Lungs and Spleen and break through to the Inner Refining Five Viscera Realm.’

"Many Loose Cultivators have started selling the Spirit Medicine they have. The Han Family has already begun collecting it. It won’t be long before they deliver the Spirit Medicine here,"

Han Bingyu said with a smile.

This was good news for her, the Han Family, and Yang Chan alike.

All three parties stood to benefit.

"Pharmacist Yang, a disciple from the Medicine Hall has come with a message. He says Hall Master Gu wants to see you."

While the two were talking, a Maid reported from outside the room.

Yang Chan had previously given instructions that any messages from the Hall Master and other important figures were to be delivered immediately.

"Alright, I know. I’ll go right away."

Yang Chan replied.

"Keep an eye on the Spirit Medicine situation. Also, find out what’s happening with Taiyin Heaven, and don’t forget about the situation in the borderlands."

After giving Han Bingyu his instructions, Yang Chan got up and left.

’Gu An and the others must have just gotten back. Just yesterday, I heard other Pharmacists saying that Gu An, the Sect Leader, and their group hadn’t returned yet.’

’Now, not long after his return, Gu An has summoned me immediately. It seems something big has happened.’

’This reminded me of Taiyin Heaven. Gu An had also sought me out when the Silver State Secret Realm appeared. I have a strong feeling this is related.’

...

「Medicine Hall.」

"Everyone is here. I’ve summoned you all this time because there is something I must inform you of."

Gu An began to speak slowly after seeing that all eleven of the Cyan Yuan Sect’s Intermediate Pharmacists had arrived.

’Seeing this, Yang Chan had a feeling something major had happened in the Cyan Yuan Sect. The incident with the Silver State Secret Realm hadn’t warranted gathering this many Intermediate Pharmacists.’

’It seems the Cyan Yuan Sect has been affected by the appearance of Taiyin Heaven.’

’There must be information that Han Bingyu isn’t privy to, which is why I don’t know the full details yet.’

Yang Chan glanced at Xu Gaocen, Lei Jingshan, and the others, but he saw only confusion in their eyes. Clearly, they had no idea what Gu An was about to say.

"You all should be aware that many unfamiliar Inner Master experts have appeared in the Cyan Jade Hall recently, correct?"

Gu An asked slowly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

Without waiting for a response, Gu An continued.

"Taiyin Heaven manifested within the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, close to Qing State, so we naturally went to participate. However, entering the depths of Taiyin Heaven is subject to various restrictions. The very first threshold is one’s Cultivation. Only those at the External Iron Bone Refining or Inner Master level can enter."

"Anyone with a Cultivation below or above that range cannot get in. Those who try to force their way through will be obliterated by Taiyin Heaven’s power."

"Initially, the ones who entered Taiyin Heaven were the Major Sects of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. But reaching its depths required passing through successive trials, and very few people even made it to the tower."

"Even our Supreme Elder, who entered personally, failed to reach the tower."

"It was then that the Merak Sacred Land approached our Sect Leader. Due to certain restrictions, they needed to use the Cyan Yuan Sect as a means to enter Taiyin Heaven."

Gu An glanced at the crowd, who were all listening intently, and continued.

"You may not be familiar with the Merak Sacred Land, but you should all have some impression of the founder of our Cyan Yuan Sect."

"Our founder hailed from the Merak Sacred Land. That Holy Land is overseen by a National Guardian Martial Saint who resides in a Cave Heaven Blessed Land. Rumor has it they even have experts beyond the Martial Saint realm."

"The Merak Sacred Land has come now because they want the Cyan Yuan Sect to rejoin them."

Gu An kept it brief, and after this rough explanation, he revealed their intention.

This news shocked everyone present. Most had speculated the meeting was about Taiyin Heaven, but no one had expected it to involve the Merak Sacred Land.

They all knew something about Holy Lands—not everything, but they weren’t completely ignorant. That’s why Gu An’s announcement left them momentarily stunned.

"Hall Master, now that you’ve mentioned this... does this mean only a select few will be able to go to the Merak Sacred Land?"

Intermediate Pharmacist Gao Yuanlong was the first to recover, and he immediately asked the question.

’This was the same man who had tried to cause trouble with Yang Chan’s spot for the Pharmacist Exchange Conference in White Jade City. It was no surprise he was the first to react to Gu An’s words.’

’And, of course, his primary concern was about the spots available to go to the Merak Sacred Land.’

"This matter has not been confirmed yet. I am merely giving you a preliminary briefing on the situation. The specifics will have to wait until after the Sect Leader’s discussion with the Saintess from the Merak Sacred Land. You will be informed as soon as a decision is made."

Gu An was not surprised by this reaction. People always focused on personal gain first, especially those who had already reached the limits of their potential.
