Chapter 70: CH. 70 | Mission to Help Them Breakthrough

Hearing that Cao Ying was a Soul Formation cultivator clearly shocked An Yue and the others. They’d never expected Lin Tian to successfully win over a powerful cultivator like Cao Ying.

"She’ll be staying at the Lingxian Sect to help us with the experience she has. So, don’t waste this opportunity," Lin Tian said.

An Yue and the other disciples nodded. They turned, clasped their hands together, and lowered their heads to show respect to Cao Ying, just like they did to Lin Tian.

"I won’t help much. There’s Lin Tian, who can help you with his understanding as a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"However, if any of you have difficulty breaking through to Nascent Soul later, I’ll help," Cao Ying replied.

"We’ll listen to Master Cao Ying’s words."

Cao Ying briefly turned to the side. She explained that she wouldn’t stay in the Lingxian Sect. So, she asked Lin Tian to provide a hill cave near the sect.

Lin Tian nodded. He allowed Cao Ying to cultivate in the cave where he had done closed-door cultivation. He showed her the cave, and Cao Ying obediently agreed.

Cao Ying quickly flew away from the sect to arrive at that hill cave. Lin Tian was still in the sect and looked toward them. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"You can return to training and cultivating."

"Yes, Master Lin."

He flew up into the sky, both of his hands forming formation seals while bringing out the Natural Spiritual Veins he’d obtained.

Two Natural Spiritual Veins came from the Cangyun Sect, while seven spiritual veins came from the Hongtian Sect.

In total, he’d obtained nine spiritual veins, plus the three spiritual veins of the Lingxian Sect. Altogether, they became 12 Natural Spiritual Veins.

That was a relatively large number, enough to supply spiritual qi abundantly. Lin Tian was certain his disciples wouldn’t have difficulty cultivating.

"Natural Spiritual Vein Planting Formation... activate!"

A white rune formation appeared in the sky above the Lingxian Sect, causing the ground to split open. Lin Tian’s hand pointed toward the split ground, inserting the Natural Spiritual Veins and burying them underground.

A spiritual qi boom erupted, so dominant that everyone in the sect could feel it. Wu Yue and An Xiao watched what Lin Tian was doing.

According to Wu Yue, with that many natural spiritual veins, the Lingxian Sect could produce the best cultivators in the entire Qin Kingdom.

Was my decision to join Lin Tian the right one?

The flow of spiritual qi became smoother and could be felt by all the disciples. They could feel their bodies becoming energized more quickly, different compared to before.

Lin Tian’s hand rose to chest height, clearly bringing out white qi light at the tip of his finger. The white rune formation disappeared, and the ground closed by itself. The 12 natural spiritual veins had been fully buried underground.

Lin Tian landed low until he arrived on the floor of the front courtyard. The result of the natural spiritual veins that had been planted under the sect’s ground not only made the flow of spiritual qi smoother, but also made the sect mission panel appear.

[Sect Fifth Mission:]

[Objective: Obtain 5 Natural Spiritual Veins and plant them in Lingxian Hill] [COMPLETED!]

[Reward: +15 Emotional Level || 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones || 50 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones || 10 High-Grade Spirit Stones]

It wasn’t only the sect mission panel that appeared in front of Lin Tian’s face. He also saw the status vision panel of his disciples’ emotional status appear.

[Status Vision:]

[An Yue: Attraction (67/250)] [+15]

[Ya Fei: Attraction (40/250)] [+15]

[Yun Yun: Attraction (18/250)] [+15]

[Luo Mei: Attraction (22/250)] [+15]

[Ji Xue: Attraction (15/250)] [+15]

[An Xiao: Trust (40/100)] [+15]

His six disciples received an additional +15 emotional level along with the successful completion of the sect’s fifth mission. Besides that, Lin Tian’s eyes looked forward when three black pouches appeared in front of his face.

The three black pouches contained spirit stones with different grades, according to the reward given by the sect’s fifth mission.

He’d gained many benefits from the sect’s fifth mission, including weapons, a cultivator, and spirit stones.

The more their emotional levels increase, the more benefits I, my disciples, and the Lingxian Sect will gain.

It was time for Lin Tian to use the momentum of abundant spiritual qi to help him break through realms, from Mid Nascent Soul to Perfect Nascent Soul.

He didn’t know how much time he’d need to break through, but he hoped it wouldn’t take long.

Lin Tian walked into the sect’s main hall building and sat on the hall altar. Both of his hands formed a technique seal, activating his strongest cultivation technique to absorb more spiritual qi.

When planting the natural spiritual veins, he saw that the spiritual qi-blocking nails in the branch roots of the natural spiritual veins had disappeared.

There was a possibility... Ye Wuqing had driven those qi nails in when he attacked the Lingxian Sect.

However, now everything was safe and under control. Lin Tian no longer needed to worry.

He began cultivating and didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone. Elsewhere, Lin Tian’s disciples trained with the tasks he’d given them.

An Yue focused on training her wind elemental technique. Ya Fei seriously studied the mortal-grade array Lin Tian had given her. Luo Mei and Wu Yue left the sect to search for herbal ingredients. Yun Yun studied techniques for artifact refining. And Ji Xue occasionally trained the disciples in cultivation while studying the qi meridian recovery technique.

They were busy developing their cultivation. Lin Tian had already determined special paths for them, focusing on their abilities.

That way, once they became skilled in their respective fields and reached a certain realm, he would open other specialized halls besides the pill refining hall.

That would take a long time. Lin Tian still had plenty of time. He had to remain calm and patient. Cultivation wasn’t a race to see who could reach a certain realm the fastest. No!

Cultivation was proof of the depth of their understanding of the heavens, life, the law of cause and effect, and the balance of nature.

Without paying attention to those things, they would only become hollow cultivators without understanding, humiliating themselves, their cultivation bases, and their sect.

[Sect Sixth Mission:]

[Objective: Make sure An Yue, Ya Fei, and Luo Mei reach Early Foundation Establishment in less than 6 months]

[Reward: +20 Emotional Level for An Yue, Ya Fei, and Luo Mei || 1x Profound-grade Elemental Technique || 1x Profound-grade Array || 1x Tier 2 Pill Recipe || 1x Earth-grade Technique]

Right when Lin Tian was about to cultivate, he was once again shocked by the appearance of a system panel that gave him the sect’s sixth mission.

From that mission, they were asking An Yue, Ya Fei, and Luo Mei to reach the Early Foundation Establishment in less than six months.

An Yue might be able to... however, I don’t know about Ya Fei and Luo Mei.

It seems I have to talk to Wu Yue and ask her to refine pills to smooth out spiritual qi absorption for Qi Condensation.
