Chapter 27 Ascension to Immortality
Chapter 27 Ascension to Immortality
So fat!
Yu Huai sat cross-legged, merely glancing at Gan Shu's storage bag, his face lighting up with delight, and exclaimed in amazement.
But just as Yu Huai was about to take a closer look...
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and on a whim, he turned his gaze to a token in the corner.
What happened?
Could this little card be a treasure?
Yu Huai's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time; the last time he experienced it was when he encountered the Silver Ring.
That feeling is back today.
It must be guided by [fortune/luck].
Thinking this, Yu Huai took out the small card and examined it carefully.
The sign was dark green and had finely engraved patterns.
The front is engraved with the two characters "Qingxuan".
The reverse side bears the three characters "Ascension Order".
Qingxuan? Could it be something from the Qingxuan Sect?
An Ascension Order?
Could this be proof of entry into the Qingxuan Sect?
Yu Huai seemed to have thought of something, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Now he doesn't know where to go, but with this Ascension Token, wouldn't he have a way out?
However, these are just his guesses.
He still needs to investigate the origin of this Ascension Order.
I don't know where Gan Shu came from.
Yu Huai was puzzled.
Could it be that he has some connection with the Qingxuan Sect?
It shouldn't be that bad!
Here we go again, killing the small fry to bring in the big ones.
Okay, I'll accept it first.
Anyway, Gan Shu is now a corpse.
Even if he had connections with the Qingxuan Sect, there was no going back.
Besides, he won't regret it.
Yu Huai shook his head, trying not to think about it. He carefully put away the Ascension Token and then went to examine Gan Shu's storage bag again.
In the blink of an eye.
Yu Huai had already tallied up what he had gained from this trip.
Nearly a hundred spirit stones plus some spirit coins, an iron claw that appears to be a mid-grade magic weapon, a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills, some non-ranking pills, a few low-to-mid-grade talismans, cultivation techniques and spells...
And among the gains of this trip.
Aside from the Ascension Token, the most valuable items were the monster meat and materials, including a mid-grade first-tier deer demon with intact flesh and fresh blood. It looked like Gan Shu and the others had just hunted it, and its value should be around 50 spirit stones. This was a good deal for Yu Huai.
Gan Shu was a cultivator who frequently fought in Qingyue Mountain, so it's not surprising that he had some demon beast meat and materials on him.
Ok.
Let's keep these things for now.
Now that Gan Shu has just died, the fact that he has taken out so many things will inevitably attract the attention of other cultivators.
As for the monster meat, you can eat it yourself.
Entering the ranks of demonic beasts greatly benefits body refinement.
It might even significantly improve his body refinement progress.
Gan Shu is now dead.
Uncle Lu should be alright by now.
Thinking this, Yu Huai looked up at the latest updated entry.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
During this time, Lu Feng came to see Yu Huai and told him about Gan Shu's death, recounting how Gan Shu's body was taken away by the Tian family. He was clearly in a good mood, and his brother did not come looking for him again.
Yu Huai was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, so Lu Feng never thought that it was Yu Huai who had made the move.
After all, Gan Shu was a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining who often fought against demonic beasts; how could Yu Huai possibly defeat him?
Lu Feng believed it was the work of the Jie Xiu.
Yu Huai simply nodded in agreement.
In recent days, no new keywords have been found that can help break through the bottleneck.
Yu Huai was already preparing to break through on his own.
But on this day...
Yu Huai was somewhat puzzled when Yao Mo came to visit again.
"Brother Yao hasn't left yet?"
Yu Huai and Yao Mo drank together, and Yu Huai asked in confusion.
Ugh.
"Everything is ready at home, but the Sun family is delayed by some matters. They said it will take some time, so my family is currently staying at the accommodation arranged by the Sun family."
Yao Mo sighed.
After chatting with Yao Mo about spiritual plants and the situation in the market, Yu Huai suddenly asked:
"Brother Yao, do you know anything about the Qingxuan Sect?"
"Does the Qingxuan Sect, as a superior sect, not know about what's happening in the market now?"
Yao Mo shook his head:
"We are merely Qi Refining cultivators, how could we possibly know the secrets involved? I also know very little about the Qingxuan Sect. If Brother Yu wishes to hear more, I can certainly tell you."
Yu Huai nodded his thanks.
What Yao Mo knew about the Qingxuan Sect wasn't much different from what Yu Huai knew. After listening, Yu Huai nodded and asked again:
"Brother Yao, do you know how the Qingxuan Sect accepts disciples?"
Ok.
Yao Mo looked up at Yu Huai, somewhat curious:
"Brother Yu, do you perhaps wish to enter the Azure Mystic Realm?"
"Brother Yao, please don't laugh. Qingxuan Sect is a sacred place of cultivation that many cultivators dream of. If I had the opportunity, I would naturally be willing to go there. It's just a pity that my spiritual roots are mediocre, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance in this lifetime."
Yu Huai smiled bitterly.
Yes.
Qingxuan Sect is one of the four great immortal sects.
It is overseen by a Golden Core cultivator, who controls the entire territory of the Song Kingdom, and all spiritual resources belong to this sect.
Furthermore, they possess the formula and main ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills, meaning that anyone who joins the Qingxuan Sect will at least have a chance to achieve Foundation Establishment.
Unlike them, who are trapped in the world of Qi cultivation for their entire lives.
Upon hearing Yu Huai's words, Yao Mo also felt a surge of longing for the Qingxuan Sect.
"Actually, there are many opportunities to enter the Azure Mystic Realm."
Slightly distracted, Yao Mo blushed when she came to her senses and saw Yu Huai smiling at her. She coughed and laughed.
"A lot? Where does the 'a lot' come from?"
Yu Huai was puzzled.
"Every year, the Qingxuan Sect sends disciples down the mountain to visit villages, cities, and neighborhoods to select new disciples."
Yao Mo explained with a smile.
This?
"Brother Yu, are you perhaps wondering if the Qingxuan Sect has many disciples given its actions?"
Yu Huai nodded.
Ha ha.
"No, the Qingxuan Sect is very strict in recruiting disciples. Spiritual root is only one factor. There are several tests in total. Only those who pass can enter the sect and become outer disciples."
"Although the Song Kingdom has a large population, very few people are destined for immortality, let alone those with superior spiritual roots who can pass the test."
"Every year, only a few people from Luofengfang can enter Qingxuan Sect."
Yao Mo said, clearly with some regret.
Is that so?
"Isn't there any other way?"
Yu Huai thought for a moment and then asked again.
Ok.
"Indeed, there are other ways. For example, if Brother Yu has an exceptional talent for the Four Arts, he can enter the field through the tests related to the Four Arts."
Are you sure you're not going to be a laborer if you go in like this?
Yu Huai thought to himself, but decided to ask the question he really wanted to ask:
"I see."
"Then, Brother Yao, are you aware of the Ascension Order?"
An Ascension Order?
Yao Mo was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said:
"I did hear my father mention it once."
"It is said that only the elders of the Qingxuan Sect have the authority to issue this Ascension Token. If an elder takes a liking to a certain cultivator after descending the mountain but does not want to directly bring him into the sect, he will give him this Ascension Token as a token of goodwill."
"If fate allows, this cultivator or his disciple can come up the mountain and directly enter the sect and become a disciple of this elder."
"However, the Ascension Token has been abolished by the Qingxuan Sect for a long time, and it is unknown whether any cultivators still use it to enter the sect."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huai roughly understood the origin of the Ascension Token on his body.
Did Gan Shu's ancestor have a connection with this Qingxuan Sect elder?
Or was he also a plunderer?
Yu Huai was puzzled and didn't continue the topic.
Not long after.
After seeing Yao Mo off, Yu Huai did not engage in cultivation. Instead, he sat in the courtyard and fell into deep thought.
I wonder if the Ascension Token he has is usable?
Is this alternative route feasible?
