On the way back to Tianyuan City, Li Feiyu carefully reviewed the pill formula for the Dust-Extinguishing Pill. The difficulty in obtaining this pill stemmed primarily from the strict control exerted by Tianyuan City.
Ascended cultivators represented formidable combat strength, and Tianyuan City spared no effort in keeping them for its own use. The city’s vast resources, the sermons of Integration stage cultivators, and the abundant spiritual energy served as lures for these newcomers. However, these benefits alone were insufficient; the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, capable of completely purging the aura of other realms, was the ultimate lever held over the necks of ascended cultivators.
The most dangerous missions in Tianyuan City were invariably carried out by ascended cultivators. Among the dozen or so Integration stage elders in the city, only two were themselves ascended cultivators. Consequently, these cultivators were almost always the first to be sent to the front lines during missions and campaigns.
