I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

This day.

A streak of escape light flew into Qingyun Mountain.

From a distance, the towering statue of the Mountain God was visible, and it descended directly outside the temple gate, transforming into a blue-robed Taoist.

The three-to-four Zhang high vermillion gate was actually refined from superior wood spiritual objects, and the walls stretching hundreds of Zhang to the left and right were all built from green spirit stones. Just the visible resources of the outer wall could deplete the accumulated wealth of a Golden Core Cultivator over hundreds of years.

"What grandeur this Uncle-Master possesses!"

Envy shone in the eyes of the Taoist, who was a true disciple dedicated to cultivation within the sect. With many elders above, a disposition of purity, inaction, and disdain for luxury had to be displayed, whether one was inclined to or not.

Creak.

Before he could announce his arrival, the doors opened on their own.

A passage of red gold stretched straight to the main hall, flanked by dozens of jade pillars.

Below the pillars stood armored generals in golden armor, sturdy and fierce with weapons in hand. Although their auras were only around the level of Foundation Establishment, they were each imposing and terrifying to behold.

"Ghost Cultivators with the scent of incense, they must be subordinate Yin Gods!"

The Taoist bowed respectfully from beyond the threshold: "Junior Xu Zhixian, greets Uncle-Master Zhu. I have come by the order of the sect leader, requesting Uncle-Master to select a Cultivation Technique and Divine Abilities to join the sect."

A warm voice came forth.

"Zhixian, a good name. Bring him in."

The golden-armored general on the left stepped out and led Xu Zhixian through the main hall.

Xu Zhixian observed the plaque of the hall, inscribed with the three seal characters for 'Xiaobutian Pavilion', and formed a more definite view of this Uncle-Master who seemed to fancy "flattery."

In the past, Zhou Yi, when establishing local influence during the ritualistic sect initiation ceremony, often named things after personal tastes, Daoist titles, and cultivation techniques, earning the term 'Xiaobutian Cult's heretical lineage.'

Zhou Yi directly using the words "Xiaobutian" showed loyalty, aligning well with the thoughts of the major figures within the sect.

Behind the main hall were several spiritual energy bridges, colorful as rainbows, each leading to different palaces upon being walked.

Xu Zhixian looked down at the babbling brook beneath the bridge, where even the bottom pebbles were paved with spirit crystals, and sighed again at his Uncle-Master's lavishness.

"The master is refining pills in Yongshou Hall, please follow me."

The general ascended the red bridge, and without taking a step, spiritual energy naturally carried them forward, quickly reaching the outside of Yongshou Hall.

The spiritual energy in Yongshou Hall was the most dense, condensing into clouds that rose and then fell as spiritual rain, nourishing the exotic flowers and herbs outside the hall.

"Five-Colored Cloud Mushroom, Seven-Colored Lotus, Gālán Marvel Trees... Hiss! This Qing Jing Bamboo grows only an inch in a hundred years and can be a rarity after a thousand. How can such a large area grow to two or three Zhang tall?"

Xu Zhixian felt an increased reverence for the Uncle-Master he had not yet met.

In the Cultivation World, strength was respected, but with sufficient wealth in spiritual objects like these, a cultivator's power certainly should not be underestimated.

The door to the hall opened automatically, and the golden-armored general bowed and retreated.

As Xu Zhixian entered, he immediately felt a surge in temperature and first beheld the massive cauldron standing in the midst.

The blue-robed old Taoist sat cross-legged on a cushion, constantly waving a banana leaf fan. Multicolored Spiritual Fire burned fiercely beneath the pill furnace, emitting a peculiar fragrance of pills that filled the entire palace.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master."

Xu Zhixian bowed respectfully, noting the Daoist's serious expression and knowing that it was a critical moment in pill refinement. He stood quietly to the side, not daring to disturb.

His gaze swept around, noting the seemingly simple and rustic decor of the hall, but upon closer inspection, the walls had many layers of formations and prohibitions, all refined from superior spiritual objects. Explore more at empire

With another deep breath, the medicinal fragrance entered his belly, and his mana even increased slightly.

"How many pills have been refined here?"

Xu Zhixian was inwardly astonished, bowing even lower, no longer carrying any arrogance typical of a true disciple of the sect.

About half an hour passed.

Hum!

The pill furnace vibrated, and the lid burst open, ejecting dozens of beams of spiritual light.

Zhou Yi held a jade gourd, executing the pill-collecting spell to store all the Spirit Pills inside, with one remaining in his palm.

"The quality is not bad!"

Inheriting the Alchemy Dao legacy of the Nine Continents Cultivation World and with thousands of years of contemplation, he could be said to have mastered the great achievements of pill refinement.

The Purple Gold Pills he had refined were particularly suitable for increasing mana during the Nascent Soul Stage, and being of nine revolutions, they were considered supreme quality, providing four to five times the efficacy of ordinary Purple Gold Pills upon consumption.

Do not underestimate the four to five percent—reaching Nascent Soul Realm with a lifespan nearing a thousand years gives ample time for in-depth study of various arts. Even in the eyes of Golden Core Cultivators, one might be deemed a master of the Alchemy Dao.

Therefore, the difference in quality of Nascent Soul Pills was not as significant as during the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Stage.

Moreover, the spiritual medicines needed for Purple Gold Pills were all of hundreds of years of medicinal age, with the main ingredient, the rare Purple Gold Mushroom of a thousand years, being something even Nascent Soul ancestors would hesitate to refine indiscriminately.

"Nephew, sorry to have kept you waiting."

Zhou Yi flicked his finger and said, "It so happens I have succeeded in pill refinement, which is also a form of fortune. This pill, I reward to you."

"Many thanks, Uncle-Master."

Xu Zhixian, as a disciple of the true transmission, had considerable discernment and thanked him, taking out a storage bag.

"This is a reward after Uncle-Master's name was added to the sect roster. Upon hearing that Uncle-Master was ranked as a sixth-rank deity, the sect leader praised him repeatedly and specially ordered that additional Spiritual Objects be included, and you may also select an extra Cultivation Technique."

"Thanks to the sect leader."

Zhou Yi took the storage bag, and after scanning it with his Divine Sense, noted that the amount of Spiritual Objects would make any Golden Core Cultivator envious. However, considering the Wish Power Beads obtained from Qingyun Mountain range, which required him to turn over thirty percent to the sect, this amount paled in comparison.

Another item was a jade slip catalog of Cultivation Techniques, which he took out and scrutinized carefully.

The sect's legacy was ancient, and the catalog of its Cultivation Techniques was as vast as the sea of clouds, taking almost half a day to select a target.

"I am not in need of Cultivation Techniques, so naturally, Escape Skills are my first choice."

Zhou Yi naturally favored Escape Techniques and, after some screening, obtained two of them.

"This Great Five Elements Escaping Technique is said to be inherited from the Immortal Realm, reaching perfection when nothing under heaven can withstand it, even slightly faster than the Thunder Escape, and it happens to connect well with the small Five Elements Escape Technique I've previously cultivated!"

"Furthermore, this Void Escaping Technique may not be fast, but it allows one to travel through the void, rendering ordinary Formations and Prohibitions completely ineffective—a truly life-saving skill!"
