A cultivator from Taiyi Sect?
Qi Yuan looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect to meet someone from Taiyi Sect so soon. Speaking of which, the Taiyi Sect in the lower world has been passed down for at least ten thousand years, so it is not surprising that there is a heritage in the spiritual world.
As soon as the gray-robed old man in the main seat opened his mouth, he instantly attracted the attention of the Divine Transformation cultivators present, and they all turned their eyes to Qi Yuan.
"As a guest elder of the Taiyi Sect in the lower realm, I have the opportunity to learn the Taoist secrets." Qi Yuan took the initiative to present a dark golden token to the gray-robed old man.
Since he happened to meet a cultivator from the Taiyi Sect who was practicing emptiness, he naturally wanted to build a relationship with him.
The grey-robed old man tightly grasped the dark-gold token, his palm constantly emitting a mysterious Dao rhythm, his eyes slightly closed, and he remained silent.
A few moments.
The old man said in a friendly tone: "The Dao rhyme on the token does belong to our sect. What is your name, fellow Daoist?"
As he said this, he took the dark gold back and returned it to its original owner.
"I am Qi Yuan, a junior, and I have just ascended to the spiritual world." Qi Yuan answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Qi Yuan? You are the cultivator who was guided to ascend to heaven by the spiritual light by accident." A cultivator with fiery red hair said in amazement.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan did not respond but showed a little embarrassment.
No matter where you are, gossip spreads the fastest.
"You guys have already selected the spiritual land. Aren't you going back to prepare for the relocation?" the gray-robed old man said in a deep voice.
"Master Wang is right in his suggestion. I will take my leave now." A middle-aged man in hemp clothes left his seat and said with a bow.
Seeing this, the others also tactfully bowed and left.
In an instant, the second floor of Yuque Pavilion became extremely quiet.
The grey-robed old man stretched out his skinny hand and said casually, "Fellow Daoist Qi, please sit down."
"Thank you, Senior Wang." Qi Yuan sat down naturally.
Master Wang looked at the other person for a few times and said with a smile, "It has been a long time since our sect has accepted any disciples from the lower realms who have ascended to heaven. As for whether the inheritance of the lower realms is flourishing or declining, it can be said that we have no idea at all. Can you tell me about it, fellow Taoist?"
"Don't worry, senior. The Taiyi Sect's inheritance in the lower world has not been broken, and it has always maintained its position as the leader of the righteous path." Qi Yuan said truthfully.
"Okay, okay, my master ascended from the lower realm back then, and he was always concerned about the inheritance of the human world. After hearing what Fellow Daoist Qi said today, I will pass the news back to the sect, and he should be able to rest assured." Master Wang said, stroking his beard.
The reason why he believed Qi Yuan's one-sided statement was because he secretly used a secret technique to check the Dao rhyme in the token.
From this, we can get a glimpse of the spellcaster's level of cultivation and infer the current strength of the Taiyi Sect in the human world.
The Dao rhyme in the token is equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and the branding time is not particularly long, which means that the sect inheritance in the lower world is presided over by a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
The Spirit Transformation Stage is already the top strength in the human world. With such a powerful disciple guarding the sect, what is there to worry about?
If Master Wang was displaying the magical powers of Taoism in the human world, Qi Yuan's spiritual sense would have allowed him to get a glimpse of some clues, but since Master Wang was a cultivator from the Taiyi Sect in the spiritual world, he naturally would not use low-level magical powers, so he was unable to detect anything unusual.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan thought that Master Wang was at the Void Refinement Stage, so his master's cultivation level was at least at the initial stage of the Fusion Stage. If an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator could guess the details, they would probably try to please the gray-robed old man, but he didn't have any thoughts on that.
He has so many secrets that he would rather avoid meeting high-level monks.
Master Wang was almost done with his feelings. He looked at Qi Yuan and said, "I have heard about Fellow Daoist Qi's deeds. Now that you have ascended to the spiritual world, you should focus on the present. If you have your eyes on a piece of spiritual land, just tell me and I will get it for you right away."
Needless to say, he was willing to give Qi Yuan a back door and free up a piece of land with rich spiritual energy for building a cave.
Qi Yuan knew in his heart that the other party was doing this for the relationship with Taiyi Sect, so he spoke frankly. However, his goal was the Golden Palace and Jade Book, so he could not choose those superior spiritual places.
He looked at the screen. Next to the winding mountain range drawn on it were a few small words with the relevant names marked. His eyes quickly found Cuilong Mountain and chose a spot with the worst spiritual energy.
"Why did you choose the area with the worst spiritual energy?" Master Wang said with a frown.
Although Qi Yuan was only a guest elder of the Taiyi Sect in the lower realm, and not a formally trained disciple of the sect, but when he thought that no Taiyi Sect disciple had ascended to the spiritual world for a long time, he couldn't help but want to take care of him.
"As a junior who has just ascended to the spiritual world, it is better for him to be cautious. First, find an inconspicuous spiritual land to practice, and then make plans for the future." Qi Yuan explained slowly.
Master Wang was silent for a while, then said, "Fellow Daoist Qi has his own ideas, and I will not force you. If you encounter any difficulties in Tianyuan City in the future, you can come to me."
"Thank you, Senior Wang, for your care." Qi Yuan's face showed joy.
This is quite practical. Only when you have someone backing you up can you be successful.
Master Wang said "hmm", very satisfied with Qi Yuan's attitude, and said: "After three hundred years, when you can enter and leave Tianyuan City freely, come to Xuanwu Realm Longyue Mountain Range when you have time to visit our sect."
After all, Qi Yuan is a Divine Transformation cultivator from the lower world, so his potential is naturally higher than that of the Divine Transformation cultivators in the spiritual world, so they intend to win him over.
"As a member of the Taiyi Sect, it is only natural for me to visit." Qi Yuan agreed with a smile.
The Taixuan Jade Art in the human world cannot be cultivated to the Mahayana stage.
Master Wang touched a thumb-sized emerald green crystal and said, "Take out your Qingming Pendant. I will inject the spiritual land mark into it. From now on, you will be the owner of the spiritual land. Only after a hundred years will you be eligible to choose a better spiritual land."
"Um, I'm not a Qingming Guard yet, so I don't have the relevant equipment." Qi Yuan responded awkwardly.
Master Wang was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are so impatient, but with your cultivation level and status as an ascended monk, someone will make arrangements with you tomorrow at the latest. Take it back and save you another trip."
After saying that, he shot the emerald green crystal over at such a fast speed that not even an afterimage was left.
Test me?
Qi Yuan's face condensed, and he spread out his five fingers and grabbed at the empty space in front of him. The colorful rays of light flickered dimly, and his figure mysteriously swept away, and then returned to its original position as if retreating. He turned his palm over, and there was an emerald green crystal in the palm.
"Yes, the speed of this escape technique is also the best among the same level. Did you just use the Reversed Five Elements Technique?" Master Wang first nodded slightly, then asked in confusion.
Qi Yuan heard the tone and thought that the two sects should have no grudges against each other, so he said, "Yes, I got the inheritance of the Five Elements Palace by chance in the lower world, and I was just about to ask you for relevant information."
He obtained the subsequent parts of the Reversed Five Elements Art from the female corpse, and was able to cultivate it to the late stage of Refining Void, and he also had many related five elements magical powers.
The only thing is that the phased enhancement of this innate magic weapon requires the calcination of the red flame of the earth spirit owned by the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, supplemented by the rare spiritual material Falling Heart Tears. It must be tempered for seven days and seven nights to merge into one to ultimately greatly increase its power and upgrade its grade.
Master Wang said, "The Five Elements Heavenly Palace is located in Dingbi Mountain in Tianmiao Realm. It was founded by the head monk Wu Hui and his wife. This person is in the early stage of fusion. His realm is considered to be very powerful among both humans and demons. Even cultivators in the late stage of fusion have not been able to gain any advantage from him, which is enough to show how powerful he is."
"His talent belongs to the five elements spiritual roots, which are difficult to cultivate. When he was weak, he was not taken seriously. Later, it was heard that he fell in love with a talented woman from an aristocratic family. A series of fierce conflicts occurred between them. He left his original sect and established the Five Elements Palace, which only accepts cultivators with five elements spiritual roots as disciples."
"Such an outrageous thing, all the cultivators at that time were not optimistic about Wu Hui, thinking of waiting for an opportunity to add insult to injury. Who knew that he had some ability, wantonly absorbing the five elements spiritual root descendants of noble families and high-level cultivators, patiently and carefully cultivating them, and providing them with a different cultivation environment, thus strengthening their sense of belonging."
"You also know that not everyone is so heartless. In particular, some cultivators with five elements spiritual roots are highly respected in their respective clans, so they have provided a lot of assistance to help the Five Elements Palace overcome some difficulties. Wu Hui is ruthless and knows how to seize cultivation resources to feed back to the sect. His own talent for study is also extraordinary. He specially created the Reversed Five Elements Art and a series of magical spells suitable for the cultivation of five elements spiritual roots."
"As tens of thousands of years passed, and Wu Hui got some incredible opportunities, he not only cultivated to the early stage of fusion, but also expanded his sect, gradually becoming a hegemon. In the palace, Wu Hui is in the early stage of fusion, and his wife is at the peak of the middle stage of fusion. There are several refining elders under his sect, and the number of disciples with five elements spiritual roots is maintained at a certain level. New people will be absorbed only when the number of disciples decreases. In addition, Wu Hui is particularly popular among the cultivators with five elements spiritual roots, so his reputation is quite huge."
A very smart person knows how to build his own base to consolidate his own interests.
The spiritual world is extremely rich in resources and spiritual energy. Practitioners with the five elements spiritual roots will feel better here, and won't be unable to reach the late stage of Qi training like in the human world.
Having said that, due to the limitations of their spiritual roots, their treatment and attitude are definitely at the lowest level, so it is natural for them to feel dissatisfied.
Wu Hui saw that no one paid attention to this group of people, so he concentrated on winning over the cultivators who were descendants of the five elements spiritual roots of the aristocratic families and bigwigs, and combined with the current environment, he has come to where he is today step by step.
No, that means the Reversed Five Elements Technique can only be cultivated to the Fusion Stage at most?
Qi Yuan's heart suddenly sank, then he cupped his hands and said, "The senior's answer today has benefited me a lot."
“Haha, Fellow Daoist Qi has cultivated to the level of a god in the human world with the aptitude of a five-element spiritual root. It shows that you are very lucky.” Master Wang said with a smile.
When he didn't detect the aura of the Reversed Five Elements Technique, he valued the relationship between Qi Yuan and the Taiyi Sect in the lower realm. Now, he seems to be looking forward to Qi Yuan's future.
Will a new Wu Hui appear in the future, shocking the world with his monopoly of the five elements?
As for the secret of Qi Yuan, Master Wang was somewhat interested, but his intuition told him that the other party was not as simple as he seemed. Once greed arose, he might not live long.
This keen intuition has saved countless lives during his cultivation career. Most of his former friends or fellow disciples died due to excessive greed.
Master Wang’s intuition was indeed correct. If something unexpected happened, Qi Yuan would instantly use the Chaos Cauldron to pull the person in and suppress him with the power of the interface.
No matter whether you are in the early, intermediate or late stage of Refining Void, as long as you have not broken through to the Fusion, you cannot escape the suppression of the Chaos Cauldron.
If things really developed to that point, Qi Yuan's end would be a displaced escape.
"It's just luck. I've always had good luck." Qi Yuan smiled and said.
Master Wang said, "Okay, come to Taiyi Sect often in the future. You can come to my place anytime. It's getting late, so you should go back."
"I will keep this in mind." Qi Yuan clasped his fists solemnly and quietly left the Yuque Pavilion.
“This person is indeed unique in that he can be appointed as a guest elder by the sect in the lower realm. For cultivators like him who have little talent but extraordinary cultivation, we should either not make enemies with them or eradicate them completely.” Master Wang has been practicing for many years and has seen a lot of blood and gore, so he is well versed in the operation of this art.
However, he practiced Taoism and believed in going with the flow, so his greed was restrained.
After Qi Yuan left Yuque Pavilion, he did not immediately return to the temporary residence of the ascended monks. Instead, he turned and entered a shop, exchanged low- and medium-level spirit stones for high-level spirit stones, and bought some storage bracelets and spirit beast bracelets to replace his storage bags.
When you arrive in the spirit world, low and medium level spirit stones are difficult to circulate, and higher level spirit stones are needed. The capacity of the storage bag is also too small, so you have to replace it with a large capacity storage bracelet.
By the way, I took a look at the elixirs for the Spirit Transformation Stage and bought two kinds of elixirs to take home. Their effects are only slightly better than those of refining spiritual energy.
If you want powerful elixirs, you may have to go to Tianyuan Market to buy them.
evening.
"Is Fellow Daoist Qi in the room?" A loud voice penetrated the restriction and came in.
A cultivator in the Void Refining Stage?
Qi Yuan looked uncertain. His formation restrictions were only effective against cultivators above the Void Refinement level. The cultivators of the same level couldn't even touch him. He opened the restrictions on the door with a snap of his fingers and took the initiative to go out to greet them.
There was a middle-aged monk with a square face and a strong aura standing outside the door, looking at him calmly.
"May I ask what's the important matter, Senior?"
"Tianyuan Guard Lou Zhi, I'm here to arrange the Qingming Guard matters for you."
Lou Zhi said calmly, "According to Fellow Daoist Qi's cultivation level, he should be in charge of a team of Black Iron Guards. Unfortunately, a small accident occurred."
"Please speak frankly, senior." Qi Yuan responded calmly.
Lou Zhi said, "Before I explain, I need to confirm whether Fellow Daoist Qi is proficient in formations. When you first came out of the Feilingtai, you looked at the formation on the top of the temple, and then moved out at a very fast speed. In addition to strong concentration, you also need profound experience in formations to flexibly break free from control."
Ok?
There is someone outside!
It seemed that he was observing the expressions of the two people at that time, and the other party was also paying attention to his every move.
"I only know a little bit about formations, but my level is just enough to protect myself. If it's a formation that's too advanced, I won't be able to do anything." Qi Yuan did not hide it, but he didn't want to take on any heavy work.
Lou Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "It doesn't have to be too high, just about the level of the Spiritualization Stage. The 61st Team of the Qingming Guards recently lost a formation master, and the team just happened to have an urgent mission assigned to them, and they are required to leave within three days, so we need you to report to the 61st Team and cooperate with them to complete the mission. You will not be unfairly rewarded afterwards."
It sounds impossible to refuse.
"Okay, I understand." Qi Yuan said with a bow. (End of this chapter)
