Chapter 505: The Development of Dan Hall
You just returned from the Dantai Ruins, and these past two days should be the peak of our Linjiang branch’s glory.
Even a cultivator at the Soul Formation level might have to show some face to the Third Grandfather.
If we act like this, it might be too difficult to catch any fish.”
Luo Yuebai flew on her flying instrument at a leisurely pace.
She smiled at Su Jingzhen and said, “Unless they’re completely clueless, greedy fools, anyone with a little sense knows that we’re just fishing.”
“That’s not necessarily true.
Everyone can anticipate the situation we’ve set up, but there will always be those who like to go against the river.
Besides, not everyone knows the details of Master’s accomplishments in the Dantai Ruins.The more uncertain the situation, the more likely it is that someone will take a risk.
Besides, even if no one dares to take the risk, it’s no loss for them.”
Luo Yuebai pondered for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.
She continued to fly towards her destination at her usual leisurely pace.
However, during the flight, Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness spread outward, encompassing the surrounding area.
He was confident, but cultivators could be unpredictable. If some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had already set a trap and were waiting to ambush them, it could be a threat.
However, even though Luo Yuebai was flying slowly, nothing unexpected happened on the way.
As expected, the Six Heavenly Generals and the Seventh Elder did not appear.
They arrived at the canyon without a hitch.
It was as usual.
Every few kilometers, disciples from the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect were guarding the area.
As a matter of fact, many forces in Linjiang City had noticed the existence of this canyon for a long time.
However, even after they secretly investigated, they could not find anything unusual about it.
The only top-tier power that had participated in the development of the Strange Land and had many disciples cultivating within it, the Bai family, kept quiet due to the Heavenly Oath and the benefits they had received.
Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai soon arrived outside the strange land.
Su Jingzhen moved his mind and directly controlled the sword-shaped imprint in his sea of consciousness. The barrier outside the strange land immediately appeared.
Luo Yuebai had Su Jingzhen’s imprint on her, so she was not hindered by the barrier.
Without hesitation, the two of them crossed the barrier and entered the strange land.
The location of the Dan Hall had changed drastically.
The thick fog still lingered, and the stone rooms were neatly arranged.
There were already hundreds of them.
Su Jingzhen’s divine consciousness swept over, and he found that many people were still chiseling on the stone walls.
They were preparing for the continuous expansion of the Dan Hall in the future.
Before they even got close, Su Jingzhen smelled a wave of rich medicinal fragrance.
“As expected from the former disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Sect.
It seems that the future development of Dan Hall will be quite smooth.
With Xuening bringing those secret alchemy manuals this time, our Dan Hall might replace the Alchemist Association sooner than we think.”
As they approached, Su Jingzhen said to Luo Yuebai with anticipation in his voice.
Upon hearing his words, Luo Yuebai’s eyes filled with excitement.
Looking at Su Jingzhen, a hint of affection appeared in her gaze.
All of this was brought about by Su Jingzhen.
She knew very well that if she hadn’t chosen Linjiang City, if she hadn’t met Su Jingzhen in Linjiang City, if she hadn’t felt the uniqueness of Su Jingzhen and Shuang Jiang from the very beginning,
Any misstep in any of those steps, as long as she and Su Jingzhen became strangers, then she, Luo Yuebai, might have established a branch somewhere else, but the size of that branch would probably be less than a tenth of what it is now.
Her dream of freeing herself from the fate arranged by the Evil Moon Sect would have been nothing but a foolish fantasy.

Su Jingzhen’s lips curled into a smile as he saw the golden characters appear in front of his eyes.
His eyes remained calm, but his heart was undeniably excited.
It was almost here.
The time for the opening of the Qi Sea Acupoint should be tomorrow!
Soon, the two of them arrived at the current location of the Dan Hall.
As soon as they got close to it, Su Jingzhen’s first sight was ten clusters of flames flickering in and out of the mist.
Luo Yuebai’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.
She had come here several times in the past few days.
She knew that the Dan Hall alchemists usually practiced alchemy in the newly opened stone rooms.
After all, alchemy was a rather private matter.
It couldn’t be disturbed in the slightest.
However, as they approached, a realization dawned on them.
There were ten people practicing alchemy right now.
And all of them looked incredibly young.
Some of them hadn’t even reached the level of a first class alchemist.
Xuening stood by and guided them.
With the inheritance from the Dantai Clan, the Dan Hall now had an abundance of resources.
Of course, they had to take the time to evaluate and train these alchemists.
Alchemy apprentices should break through to first-class alchemists as soon as possible, and first-class alchemists should break through to second-class alchemists as soon as possible.
And so on, Su Jingzhen and Xuening’s goal was to have all the alchemists in their alchemy hall improve their ranks by one level within one month.
“If Zhao Tianming and the other four-rank alchemists could directly break through to the fifth rank, that would be the best of all.”
“If that were the case, the strength of the Alchemy Hall would be even stronger than the group of alchemists at the Yunmeng City Treasure Gathering Pavilion.”
At that moment, Xuening also saw the two figures.
Smiling, she walked over:”These are some of the most qualified apprentice alchemists.I have given them some alchemy secrets according to each person’s characteristics.
If everything goes smoothly, they will successfully reach the level of a rank one alchemist within three days.”
Xuening said this directly to the two of them.
Her tone was filled with anticipation.
Besides alchemy, she also seemed to be very interested in training new alchemists.
“Sister Xuening choosing my Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect is truly a blessing for us.”
Looking at Xuening, Luo Yuebai said sincerely.
“Your subordinate Zhao Tianming greets the Sect Master and the Chief Acolyte.”
While the three of them were talking, the door of a stone room suddenly opened.
Zhao Tianming’s figure appeared in front of them.
When he saw Luo Yuebai and Su Jingzhen, he was startled at first, and then respectfully knelt down on one knee to greet them.
This time, the old man looked pretty good.
It seemed that his alchemy skills had greatly improved in this strange place.
“It seems that Sect Master Zhao has made some progress this time. I wonder when you will be able to break through to rank five?”
Seeing Zhao Tianming, Su Jingzhen asked with a smile.
As soon as he said that, Zhao Tianming suddenly said: “Please, Chief Acolyte, just call me by my name. The Spiritual Medicine Sect is already in the past, and the title of Sect Master makes me feel uncomfortable.”
Then he said: “But speaking of alchemy, in this strange place, I am not far from rank five.”
As he said this, there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Seeing the confidence on Zhao Tianming’s face, Su Jingzhen also felt relieved.
He glanced at Xuening and then said to Zhao Tianming:”In that case, I will give you a lucky gift that can help you reach rank five directly.”
As soon as his voice dropped, Xuening threw a piece of jade directly at Zhao Tianming.
Inside that jade slip was the legacy of a former senior member of the Dantai Clan in the art of alchemy.
It was considered to be one of the most outstanding alchemy secrets within this batch.
Xuening had long since made a thorough assessment of the characteristics of all the important figures in the Dan Hall, and selected each item according to their needs.
Zhao Tianming took the jade slip, a hint of confusion still on his face.
But as his spiritual consciousness entered the jade scroll, probing the information within, he was struck with a thunderous jolt.
The man froze in place, completely stunned.
Zhao Tianming had been inside the Dan Hall without even knowing that the Dantai Ruins had opened.
At first, Zhao Tianming had believed that Su Jingzhen had brought the entire Spiritual Medicine Sect to the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect just to covet their foundation.
He had thought that they would be forced to serve the Evil Moon Sect as alchemists.
The fact that Su Jingzhen had provided them with such a unique place to practice alchemy and improve their skills had already left Zhao Tianming in awe.
He had never imagined that Xuening could produce such a powerful alchemy secret here.
“My lord… my lord…”
At this moment, Zhao Tianming wanted to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word, his excitement was too deep to be expressed.
Su Jingzhen smiled again.
“No need for words, you just need to do your best to improve your alchemy skills and reach the fifth or even sixth rank as soon as possible. That would be the best way to return to the Evil Moon Sect.”
“Now, I will grant you the freedom to enter and leave this unique place.”
As he spoke, the sword-shaped mark in Su Jingzhen’s sea of consciousness surged once again.
Suddenly, a wave of mysterious energy rushed into Zhao Tianming’s sea of consciousness.
As a subordinate under contract, Zhao Tianming’s loyalty was unwavering.
Su Jingzhen wasn’t afraid that he would betray him.
He continued, “The path of alchemy is not just about retreat and practice. If you feel you’ve reached a bottleneck, it can be beneficial to go out and see the world.
And if you want to refine a certain kind of pill, you need certain herbs. Sometimes the best approach is to buy them yourself or to search for them.”
“Soon, I will build a unique library in this place, dedicated to the Dan Hall. It will contain various pill formulas and alchemy secrets. Dan Hall disciples who reach a certain rank or make significant contributions will be able to retrieve them freely.”
With the vast resources of his Pure Land of Extreme Bliss , it would be incredibly easy to build a library suitable for the Dan Hall.
“Thank you, Chief Acolyte!
This subordinate shall retreat to cultivate first!”
Previously, he had always addressed Su Jingzhen as “Master.”
However, in the presence of others, he wouldn’t dare to be so blatant.
He used the same respectful title as the other disciples of the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
After finishing his words, the old man eagerly retreated back to his former stone chamber.
Su Jingzhen didn’t have to worry too much about the affairs of the Dan Hall.
By providing them with everything they needed, the Dan Hall would be able to develop steadily.
The matter of alchemy was ultimately up to the alchemists themselves.
Xuening wouldn’t leave this place for the time being. After giving Xuening some instructions, Su Jingzhen and Luo Yuebai moved to another part of the unique land.
A considerable amount of land had been allocated to the Bai family.
The current situation in Linjiang City was constantly changing, and even these deep-rooted cooperative forces had to clearly show their allegiance.
The unique land and the Dan Hall within it were too important to the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect.
Any potential threat was absolutely unacceptable.
