Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, the Great Elder quickly stood up.

Out of curiosity, Baili Changqing respectfully inquired.

"I wonder what question Heavenly Person Zhang has for an old man like me?"

Baili Changqing thought that with his strength and artifact refining skills, he shouldn't possess any information of value to Zhang Xiaoshan.

But he hadn't expected that the question Zhang Xiaoshan asked was precisely about a secret he happened to know.

"I was just going through Li Chengfeng's Refining Artifact Notes and discovered that he mentioned a place called Outer Heaven in them."

"Do you know what that Outer Heaven is?"

Under normal circumstances, this is a secret known only to the Sect Leader of Xuanqi Sect.

With Li Chengfeng's death, this secret should have been forgotten.

After Zhang Xiaoshan inquired, the Great Elder pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Reporting to Heavenly Person Zhang, regarding the rumors about Outer Heaven, under normal circumstances, only the Sect Leader of Xuanqi Sect would know."

"However, in my younger days, I once came across some records about Outer Heaven in an ancient book."

"Moreover, when cultivators from Outer Heaven came here, I was fortunate to encounter them a few times."

These words from Baili Changqing delighted Zhang Xiaoshan.

He had thought that after Li Chengfeng's death, he would never be able to obtain this information.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn, and the Great Elder of Xuanqi Sect also knew these secrets.

That made things easier, so he immediately continued to ask.

"Tell me about the matters of Outer Heaven and the times its cultivators came to Xuanqi Sect."

After Zhang Xiaoshan spoke, Baili Changqing immediately nodded respectfully.

After pondering his words, Baili Changqing said.

"According to the records of Xuanqi Sect, the so-called Outer Heaven, though within this world, exists in a special space."

"In the past, when cultivators from Outer Heaven came to negotiate with our Sect Leader, I also had the opportunity to meet them."

"Those people exuded a sense of superiority, arrogance ingrained in their bones."

"They seemed to view us all as mere commoners."

"Sect Leader Li Chengfeng was always very respectful toward the cultivators from Outer Heaven."

"The cultivators from Outer Heaven asked us to keep an eye out for collecting various precious jades during our mundane activities."

"These top-grade jades could be refined into ordinary low-grade spirit stones."

"It's said that spirit stones are extremely valuable, and a single top-grade spirit stone could buy the entire Xuanqi Sect."

Zhang Xiaoshan, having just reviewed Li Chengfeng's Refining Artifact Notes, along with some other notes, was well aware that Baili Changqing was not lying.

The value of spirit stones was indeed astonishingly high.

Even without a top-grade spirit stone, possessing some low-grade spirit stones was highly beneficial for cultivation.

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately asked:

"For all these years, Xuanqi Sect has been working for the cultivator forces of Outer Heaven."

"Have the cultivator forces from Outer Heaven ever rewarded spirit stones?"

"Does Xuanqi Sect itself have any spirit stones?"

Zhang Xiaoshan asked two questions in succession, and fortunately, Baili Changqing was able to answer both.

"As far as I know, the cultivator forces from Outer Heaven have not granted any high-grade spirit stones."

"However, they did grant some refining methods and formation techniques."

"Xuanqi Sect should possess spirit stones."

"Sect Leader Li Chengfeng once revealed that there was an ancient great formation for refining spirit stones within the sect."

"However, I do not know where that great formation is located."

Baili Changqing did not hide information, though he knew quite a bit.

But after all, he was only the Great Elder of Xuanqi Sect, not the Sect Leader.

Knowing this much was already quite remarkable.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoshan calmly nodded slightly and then said.

"You may leave now."

Upon hearing these words, Baili Changqing respectfully withdrew.

His face was full of joy.

If Li Chengfeng were still the Sect Leader, he couldn't possibly have learned such profound refining methods.

Now, although Zhang Xiaoshan loomed overhead as the Imperial Overseer, he also got to experience the treatment of a Sect Leader.

With Li Chengfeng's Refining Artifact Notes, the refining challenges that troubled him for years were all resolved.

Afterward, Zhang Xiaoshan also began a closed-door meditation in the grand hall of Xuanqi Sect to consolidate his cultivation realm.

After activating the Green Emperor Creation Body, his cultivation realm could advance to Human Immortal in one leap.

Even without activating the Green Emperor Creation Body, he possessed a Divine Realm Peak cultivation and was capable of fighting a Human Immortal!

Ordinary Human Immortal experts were certainly no match for him.

After the great battle, Xuanqi Sect returned to peace.

Day after day passed, and Zhang Xiaoshan did not emerge from seclusion.

Though he remained in seclusion, trouble found its way to him!

Wei Hu, whom Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't seen for a long time, along with Ma Tong and Ma Zhengdong from not long ago, and several high-ranking members from Haiseng Group, arrived together.

Not only they, but also many martial artist seniors and numerous cultivator experts from the Huaxia Practitioner World, had found their way to Xuanqi Sect.

"What business do you have in coming to Xuanqi Sect?"

With so many powerful figures arriving at Xuanqi Sect, Baili Changqing was the first to step forward.

After Baili Changqing inquired, Wei Hu hurriedly stepped forward and politely said.

"I am Wei Hu. I have rushed here for an urgent matter, requesting to meet Miracle Doctor Zhang."
