After Lii Xiaolan finished speaking, Lin Xuankong and Xiaoo Ying'Er finally understood.

A surge of pressure welled up in Xiaoo Ying'Er's heart, and a trace of melancholy touched her ethereal, fair face.

"I knew that standing out in this disciple recruitment ceremony of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect wouldn't be easy! As it turns out, my husband and I will have to face not only the prodigies from various dynasties but also talented disciples from other Immortal Sects! Hmph, this title of being ranked eighteenth among tens of thousands of geniuses is really overblown!"

Hearing this, Lii Xiaolan leaned over to Xiaoo Ying'Er, pinched her delicate cheek, and chuckled. "Actually, Sister Ying'Er, you don't need to worry too much. While those Immortal Sect disciples might have more resources, you have the Great Xia Dynasty backing you—especially with a pillar of support like your husband. You can get plenty of resources too!

They might possess Initial Tier Demon King Level Exotic Beasts and Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, but so what? Even if we don't have them now, we still have time to prepare!"

Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er's expression changed. "But those are Initial Tier Demon King Level Exotic Beasts and Immortal Artifacts! Even the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect possesses only one Immortal Artifact, and my husband has only one. How could it be easy to obtain an Immortal Artifact, let alone cultivate a Demon King Level Exotic Beast?"

Lin Xuankong's heart was a mix of emotions. He had known so little about the Earth Immortal Realm before. He'd imagined that once he became an Earth Immortal, he could roam the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, freely traveling between heaven and earth!

Unexpectedly, advancing to the Earth Immortal Realm was even more difficult. When a Transcendence Realm Cultivator broke through, they might only need some Spiritual Objects. If they couldn't obtain them, their Realm might stagnate. However, breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm meant facing various Celestial Tribulations, which often led to complete annihilation!

Of course, it wasn't impossible to simply retreat, suppress one's Realm, and avoid advancement or Celestial Tribulations. After all, the base Lifespan of an Initial Tier Earth Immortal was eight thousand years. Having consumed a large amount of Turtle-Poria Elixir, he estimated that after advancing to Initial Tier Earth Immortal, his Lifespan would exceed ten thousand years. At that point, as an Initial Tier Earth Immortal, his Lifespan would be longer than many Mid-grade Earth Immortals!

But he possessed the Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate, and his Cultivation Speed far exceeded that of other Cultivators. If he were to advance to the Earth Immortal Realm in the future, how could he possibly resign himself to being a Low-Grade Earth Immortal?

If he wasn't resigned to that... then he absolutely had to fight for this Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object, the kind that allowed a Cultivator to form a Six Paths Golden Core!

Thinking of this, he looked at the slightly worried Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er and said with a firm expression, "Ying'Er, don't worry. I'll come up with something. There are still nearly twenty days until the official disciple recruitment ceremony. During this time, I'll definitely find a way to significantly enhance your strength!"

Xiaoo Ying'Er, who had been disheartened, saw Lin Xuankong's firm resolve. Her expression brightened, and a smile touched her lips. "Alright, Ying'Er believes in you, darling!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, then raised an eyebrow at Lii Xiaolan. "You've polished off more than ten savory pies and seven or eight delicious dishes, haven't you, my dear? Don't you think it's about time we found a quiet place to rest for a while?"

Hearing Lin Xuankong's words, Xiaoo Ying'Er lowered her head slightly, a blush creeping onto her face.

Lii Xiaolan's expression froze for a moment before she quickly waved her hands. "No, no, I haven't eaten nearly enough!"

"Besides, I have something else important to discuss with you!"

Lin Xuankong chuckled. "We can discuss it privately too! My Blood Burning Technique and Fierce Tiger Roar Bone Technique have both recently reached Perfection. My combat strength has greatly increased, and I've been eager for you and Yu Fei to... experience it."

Lii Xiaolan's expression changed again, her brow furrowing. "Can't you be serious for a moment? Ying'Er is right here! I truly do have something important to discuss—it's about the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill!"

The Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill? Lin Xuankong's expression shifted. "You haven't cultivated your Alchemy Technique to the Immortal Tier yet, have you, my dear? Could it be that you've already managed to refine a genuine Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill?"

Lii Xiaolan shook her head slightly. "My current Alchemy Technique can only guarantee the Refining of Dharma Tier Elixirs. However, after studying with Master Qu Wan'Er for over a year, I've gained considerable insight into the Refining of the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill!

Even though I can't guarantee a perfect success rate like Master Qu Wan'Er, if I have enough materials for ten or eight batches, I might just succeed with one!"

Lin Xuankong remarked, "If you can succeed with one batch out of ten or eight, that's already quite good!"

Lii Xiaolan shook her head. "The various Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines required for the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill are extremely precious and largely controlled by the various Immortal Sects, making them incredibly difficult to collect. Even Master Qu Wan'Er has only gathered enough materials for a single batch in the past hundred years, successfully Refining twenty Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills from it!

It would be an enormous waste to gather enough Spirit Herbs and Elixirs for ten or more batches just for me to practice!"

Lin Xuankong asked, puzzled, "Then why are you bringing this up, my dear?"

Lii Xiaolan explained, "Recently, many Cultivators from all over have gathered in Spiritual Crane Immortal City, including a considerable number of Immortal Sect Disciples. As a result, the Spiritual Crane Auction House has been exceptionally busy. A few days ago, Master Qu Wan'Er received news that seeds for three of the most crucial Spirit Grasses needed for the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill will be auctioned there! However, Master said that many sects will likely be bidding, and even she might not be able to acquire them… After all, the starting price for each of those three types of Spirit Grass seeds is a full three thousand Profound Truth Jades. If many people compete, there's no telling how high the price will soar!"
