The number of mortals has decreased, and the number of people with spiritual roots who can learn witchcraft has dropped sharply. Although the inheritance will not be cut off, the decline of witchcraft seems to be irreversible.
However, the Moyue clan was not willing to give in.
At that time, several great wizards who had fled to the Kuiyin Mountains gathered together to discuss whether there was any room for recovery.
However, it is not easy to return to heaven. Several people thought of countless countermeasures, but in the end they all ended in failure. Almost at a moment of despair, a wizard thought of the ancient legend.
In more ancient times, there once appeared in the world of cultivation a heaven-defying elixir that could cleanse the marrow of the Yi Jing and allow ordinary people to have spiritual roots.
It is said that when it first appeared, it caused a frantic rush by various sects, but it soon fell silent. The reason is that this elixir has two shortcomings.
First, although it can allow ordinary mortals to possess spiritual roots, the quality of the spiritual roots is too poor. Even if they work hard, most people can only reach the peak of the spiritual stage. These low-level disciples, for famous sects, , naturally it is useless.
Secondly, refining this elixir requires many rare medicinal materials. Although it is not impossible to find them, I still feel that the reward is not worth the effort.
Therefore, this magical medicine was quickly discarded like grass and disappeared from the world of cultivation.
Fortunately, the recipe has finally been passed down.
The so-called emergency medical treatment, thinking of this ancient legend, the wizards suddenly felt like they had found a treasure.
At this time, they had no other choice. It didn't matter whether their spiritual roots were good or bad. As long as they could increase the number of wizards, they would be satisfied.
However, the war between the Moyue Clan and the Qin Clan happened about one million years ago, and the legend of the elixir is even older and needs to be pushed back another two million years.
Over such a long period of time, Yuanjin Fruit, the most important medicinal material for refining this elixir, has reached the point of extinction and has almost disappeared in this world.
The ancestors of the Moyue tribe went through a lot of hard work to find three plants.
Like other treasures of heaven and earth, it takes a long time for Yuanjin Fruit to mature once, from one hundred to one hundred and thirty years.
Because this thing is of great significance to the Moyue clan, it is revered as a holy fruit.
Every time it matures, the best alchemist in the clan will refine it into elixir. As long as it is taken, an ordinary mortal will refine the spiritual root and become a new person among the wizards.
Compared with when the Moyue Clan was in its heyday, the number of people has dropped sharply. However, there are still dozens of tribes, large and small, who have fled into the Kuiyin Mountains. There are only three Yuanjin Fruits, so the elixirs that can be refined are naturally limited. , how to allocate it is a rather troublesome problem.
They also thought of many ways, but finally decided on the format of the witchcraft conference.
The so-called witchcraft conference allows the younger generation of wizards from each tribe to compete in magic power, and then determine the ownership of the elixir based on their ranking.
There are many people with good rankings, and those with low rankings are naturally pitiful.
The reason why we let young wizards compete instead of letting the strongest elder of the tribe compete is that there is something special about it.
Because the purpose of the witchcraft conference is not to see who is stronger or weaker among the tribes. It is to decide who owns the elixir.
To use an analogy, a strong person may not necessarily be a good teacher, and a weaker person may not be unable to teach his disciples.
After each tribe receives the elixir, a new batch of wizards will be born. What achievements these wizards can achieve depends on their own qualifications and hard work. Whether they can receive good guidance is also a very important factor.
This is the purpose of letting young wizards compete in skills, because from them, we can see how good the elders of this tribe are at teaching their disciples.
Thus, the witchcraft conference was slowly passed down from ancient times.
This is why Tiancang tribe, a small tribe with only a few thousand people, has more than a dozen wizards.
And after the efforts of wizards of all generations, and after spending countless efforts and energy, the alchemists of the Black Moon Clan finally successfully improved the formula of the elixir.
Although more than 80% of the spiritual roots tempered after taking it are still mottled and impure, there are still 10% that can reach the level of ordinary spiritual roots. The remaining half are even good spiritual roots.
Through their own efforts, some lucky people even condensed the golden elixir and became an elder.
This is why each tribe attaches so much importance to the witchcraft conference.
Lin Xuan's expression could be said to be ecstatic when he retrieved his spiritual consciousness from the jade tube slip. It took no effort to break through the iron shoes and find no place. Lin Xuan was trapped in the bottleneck of cultivation and was confused, and he accidentally bumped into the entire world.
secret.
In this case, there is really no need to rush back. Compared with the map, the elixir refined by Yuanjin Fruit is more tempting to Lin Xuan.
Three days later, Kuiyue City.
The Moyue tribe is a nomadic tribe, and the life of ordinary people has been mainly based on migration for generations. However, after experiencing great changes and settling down deep in the Kuiyin Mountains, it is naturally impossible to continue the previous way of living.
They abandoned nomadism and learned to farm, but they still had the custom of living in tents and, of course, building wooden houses. After all, people will change with the environment.
However, although the Moyue people no longer migrate and live together as tribes, they still do not have the custom of building a city. There are dozens of tribes, large and small, in the entire Kuiyin Mountains, and there is only one city.
This is Kuiyue City.
The Kuiyue tribe living there is currently the largest tribe here, with a population of half a million and a large number of monks. The great elder of the alliance in the Nascent Soul stage is from this tribe.
The Witchcraft Conference is about to be held. For the Black Moon Clan, this is the most important event, so the city has been preparing for it a few months ago.
In the coming days, it was even more decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively.
Not only the wizards, but the mortals are also full of joy. In the Moyue Clan today, immortal cultivators and mortals live together. But even so, the wizards mostly practice in the caves on weekdays, and it is difficult to see each other easily.
.
But in the past few days, escaping lights have appeared frequently in the sky. They are wizards from various tribes coming to Kuiyue City to participate in the grand ceremony.
There are still three days until the wizarding convention.
Two rays of strange light flew from the southeast.
The one on the left is as dark as ink, and the one on the right is in jet black with a touch of gold.
"Iroh, we're here."
A slightly old voice reached his ears, and Lin Xuan nodded respectfully. It was not easy for him these days.
First of all, in order for him to get a good ranking in the witchcraft conference, Master Gu Ye took great pains and gave him guidance.
However, although they are both pursuing the path of immortality, the monks of the Qin clan and the wizards of the Moyue clan have very different skills. Fortunately, Lin Xuan is proficient in both good and evil, has extensive knowledge and knowledge, and has a lot of miscellaneous knowledge.
With all his strength, he finally didn't show his weakness.
