Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 160 - 80: Setting Out, Endless Forest Sea

On the fourth day of apprenticeship, Su Yu left Xuankong Mountain and came to the Foreign Affairs Hall in front of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect’s mountain gate square.

The Foreign Affairs Hall is responsible for issuing sect missions. Some missions can be taken directly through the personal panel, while others require an identity tag to receive, necessitating a personal visit.

The Foreign Affairs Hall faces the main gate of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Most disciples enter and exit through here, as leaving the mountain gate leads to Xuanzhen Immortal City.

The white jade archway stands tall, with white jade pillars surrounding it, reaching into the clouds and appearing endless. The spiritual mist swirls around, resembling a gateway to the Immortal Realm.

The entrance is bustling with people, countless disciples entering or leaving the sect every moment, while Su Yu stands alone on the edge of the square, inconspicuous.

He is waiting for someone, waiting for Ding Lingyu, Xu Lulu, and Lan Yiyi.

They have all successfully entered the Immortal Sect and plan to gather together.

After a while, Lan Yiyi was the first to arrive.

Seeing Su Yu, he cheerfully clasped his hands and said:

"Lan Yiyi, outer sect disciple of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, greets Mr. Su, the inner sect!"

Su Yu smiled and gestured for him to stand up:

"Mr. Lan, please rise quickly!"

"Hahaha..."

The two laughed heartily.

After laughing for a while, Lan Yiyi curiously asked:

"I heard that if you can join any Immortal Master’s inner sect, the master will give a welcome gift. What did you get? Is it an advanced magical treasure?"

"Yes, I was allowed to choose any advanced flying sword magical treasure, and I took an advanced flying ship."

"Is the Dao Skill at the Refined Level?"

"Yes."

Lan Yiyi looked envious.

Su Yu was also curious and asked:

"And you, what’s the treatment for outer sect disciples?"

"An Advanced Qi Refining Heart Skill and a sixth-grade flying sword or magical treasure."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing else."

"No Refined Level Qi Refining Heart Skill?"

"That’s only for formal disciples, or if you accumulate 5000 guild contribution points plus a minor merit, you can apply for a Refined Level Qi Refining Heart Skill."

"Hmm... How do you get promoted to a formal disciple?"

"The outer sect has ten peaks, and each year there’s a minor competition that anyone under 60 can enter. The top 100 of each peak are directly promoted."

"So that’s a thousand spots each year. That’s quite a big opportunity."

"It is very big!"

It was Xu Lulu, who had just arrived, speaking:

"But for us, we definitely shouldn’t rely on this path for promotion within five years."

Ding Lingyu, who also arrived, nodded and added:

"Xuanzhen Immortal Sect admits several tens of thousands of outer sect disciples each year. Adding accumulated numbers from past years and excluding those older than sixty who are advised to leave, there are still nearly a million in total. Competing for those thousand spots each year is quite pressuring."

Lan Yiyi sighed, saying:

"So time waits for no one. We need to work hard to improve our strength, aiming to become formal disciples within ten years."

Su Yu remained silent.

It seems now that obtaining a formal disciple spot in the Immortal Sect, available for the top in the Thousand Feather Guild each year, is extremely valuable.

He also thought of how the captain could give him a formal disciple spot in the Jade Flower Lineage, showing genuine kindness.

From this, it is evident that the captain holds a high position in the Jade Flower Lineage to be able to provide such a spot.

At this time, Ding Lingyu said:

"By the way, have you decided where to go for leveling up?"

"There’s nowhere nearby for leveling, so we have to go a bit further. I found out recently that most people teleport to sect branch locations to level up."

Lan Yiyi nodded, saying:

"I did some research too. Our sect’s branches cover much of Blue Mountain Island, and some elders even have estates on distant overseas islands. But there’s currently no teleportation array directly to overseas from within the sect." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"It’s too far overseas; let’s stay on the island."

"Where to?"

"Cangshui!"

Ding Lingyu mentioned a name that was somewhat familiar to Su Yu:

"The outer courtyard of the Chixiao Sword Vein is there, and nearby is Cangshui, a tributary of the Yuanjiang River. Behind the sword vein is the Endless Forest, so we can level up at either Cangshui or the Endless Forest."

"Also, I checked the sect missions, and there are two missions there."

"One is a bounty issued by the Chixiao Sword Vein within the sect, hiring sect disciples to serve at Demon Suppression City at 1 gold per day normally, 10 gold during beast tides, with no time limit."

"The other is a bounty mission where a guild member built a guild near the Endless Forest and recently had conflicts with another nearby guild. They issued a bounty, inviting sect members to assist, with travel expenses reimbursed, and bounty for defeating rival guild members."

Su Yu nodded and said:

"The mission location is in the Endless Forest; we can take both missions."

Ding Lingyu also agreed:

"Let’s go there."

They looked at Xu Lulu and Lan Yiyi, who nodded with a smile:

"No problem."

"Alright, let’s head out now."

They soared into the sky, heading towards Xuanzhen Immortal City.

During the journey, Su Yu sent messages to his master, senior brothers, and Chu Xinyue, informing them, lest they search for him unexpectedly and find him missing.

Soon they arrived at the vast Xuanzhen Immortal City and went straight to the teleportation platform.

Using the sect’s teleportation array costs 1 gold per use.

After half an hour of queuing, they left the sect amidst a surge of spiritual light, appearing thousands of kilometers away at Chixiao Peak.

For the first time at a sect branch outside the main sect, Xu Lulu and Lan Yiyi curiously looked around, while Ding Lingyu opened the panel and said:

"I’ll contact Mr. Cheng first."

Meanwhile, Su Yu opened the contact list and sent a message to Xiao Qingli:

"Mr. Xiao!"

Soon after, a string of question marks came from the other side.
