Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 117 - 98 Revisiting the Old Place (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)_3

Chapter 117: Chapter 98 Revisiting the Old Place (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)_3

Su Ping looked at the other party indifferently.

The other party hadn’t undergone Body Refining, merely at the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, comparable to himself.

Looking at his age, he was at least forty, and with his level of cultivation, it seemed he had no blessing from a Spiritual Body.

In the eyes of these onlookers, the white-haired youth who claimed to be Yun Kong hesitated for a moment before nodding shyly.

Upon hearing the news, the surrounding cultivators felt that this would be an opportunity to witness an Inner Sect fellow showing off Immortal Sect Spells, displaying divine might.

The two parties arrived at the training field.

Then… it was just one move!

The Inner Sect Disciple who had just summoned two short swords saw his Protective Golden Light shattered and was then grabbed by the face by the white-haired youth.

With a loud bang!

Before anyone could react, the Inner Sect Disciple’s head was buried into the stone slabs of the training field.

The shockwaves even caused the surrounding ground to crack like a spiderweb.

This was Su Ping’s first time competing against a non-Grotto Heaven Qi Cultivation Late Period practitioner.

He then realized that this Inner Sect Disciple was far inferior to the White Crane Child!

Was this the level of an ordinary Late Period Qi Cultivation disciple from an Immortal Sect?

Even without using Magic Artifacts and talismans… it was still a bit too weak!

With Divine Sense and Body Refining enhancement, the opponent was completely… riddled with mistakes in front of him!

There was no need to use other trump cards, just the pure strength brought by the Late Stage of Body Refining and the Sacred Body was enough to first strike at the opponent’s weaknesses, shatter their Protective defense, and then smash their face!

It seemed… the fight was over?

Does this even count as beating up a kid?

After the competition…

The white-haired youth Yun Kong was sent out of the Cloud Mountain Workshop very amiably, and then he immediately took the Passing Wood Token and headed to a high mountain shrouded in mist not far away.

That place was where the Outer Sect Disciples recruited by the Immortal Ascension Conference from the nearby hundred cities gathered at the Sect’s Mountain Gate.

Such a Sect’s Mountain Gate, Chi Yuan Immortal Sect only had four in total.

They only welcomed disciples from the Immortal Sect.

Now, it also included the recruited outsider cultivators.

This allowed Su Ping to step into this familiar place once again.

This was the place where he had undergone bitter cultivation for twenty years, filled with memories.

Revisiting old ground brought a vastly different state of mind.

Su Ping walked straight ahead without looking sideways, his heart filled with emotion as he headed towards the Merit and Demit Hall.

Not long after Su Ping left.

A few white-robed cultivators flew over, looking for a white-haired youth but finding nothing.

They were members of the Punishment Alliance, and this time they had been informed from inside sources about an extremely powerful cultivator in magical combat, suspected to be a dual cultivator of Body and Magic, who had accepted the recruitment order and joined the Immortal Sect.

The Punishment Alliance, eager to enhance their combat power, naturally didn’t want to miss such a talent and sent people out to recruit him.

However, they hadn’t anticipated someone with a clear goal to leave directly, causing them to miss the opportunity.

Outside the Merit and Demit Hall, at a counter specifically responsible for the purchase and exchange of exotic treasures and top-grade Pills,

an old cultivator with a withered body and skin like tree bark observed the dozen or so top-grade Pills Su Ping had taken out.

Their grades were not very high, and most of them were not even ranked, but they were indeed top-grade Pills without a doubt, suitable for consumption by the genius novices just entering Qi Cultivation.

Looking at the white-haired youth, guessing that he was one of those outsider cultivators, the old cultivator accepted everything, exchanging them for Merit.

The old cultivator then heard the white-haired youth’s request to exchange for Pills that could be used in the Late Period of Qi Cultivation or Body Refining.

He wasn’t surprised by this, as the Immortal Sect dared to issue recruitment orders because it had Pills and Secret Techniques that could be used in the Late Period of Qi Cultivation to attract these outsiders to sell their services.

What he didn’t expect was that the youth claimed to know his Merit wasn’t enough.

Therefore… he didn’t want top-grade Pills, only Mid-grade or even Waste Grade!

The reason? It was straightforward: they knew the non-top-grade Pills had issues, but at such a time, enhancing one’s own strength was the most important.

“What a pity!”

The old cultivator saw the white-haired youth resolute in consuming Mid-grade and even Waste Grade Pills, a flash of regret for the wasted talent crossing his eyes.

In his view, this white-haired youth had joined the wrong sect.

With such talent, had he been in Chi Yuan Immortal Sect, he would have at least been an elite Inner Sect Disciple by now.

While he couldn’t guarantee enough top-grade Pills, there was always a monthly quota.

Why stoop to consuming Mid-grade Waste Grade Pills and cut off the path ahead?

But given the current situation, the Immortal Sects were not about to let outsider cultivators become core members.

To have a fair trade was already done out of necessity due to the circumstances.

This old cultivator was indeed old in years but certainly not a Great Power that could play with the mortal world!

“Spirit Cultivating Pills suited for the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, Body Tempering Spirit Marrow suitable for the Late Stage of Body Refining… As powerful as the effects are, the impact on the path of cultivation is also tremendous,”

“Consume one Mid-grade Pill and the probability of achieving Foundation Establishment drops by one layer!”

“One Waste Grade Pill, and it’s best not to attempt Foundation Establishment for life!”

The old cultivator gave his final warning.

Seeing the white-haired youth still firm, he sighed and took out a few wooden boxes following the youth’s Merit and Spirit Stones.

Unlike Nourishing Yuan Pills and Qi Blood Pills,

Pills for the Late Period of Qi Cultivation were more potent, generally taken by practitioners with a solid foundation of cultivation without experiencing severe side effects before breaking through a Great Realm, hence their value increased.

Deacons from the Outer Sect, typically with no hopes of advancement, would often buy a Mid-grade or even Waste Grade Pill to enhance their cultivation.

Although their path forward was doomed after consuming several Pills, they would become much more robust in Mana, so they could learn more skills for earning money and self-protection.

Luckily, as long as they weren’t top-grade, Qi Cultivation Late Period Mid-grade and Waste Grade Pills, although expensive, were still within Su Ping’s financial capacity.

After spending all his Merit, Su Ping gained five Mid-grade Pills and fifteen Waste Grade Pills.

He then glanced over the mission list, casually selected a task, and hastened away.

As a result, the old cultivator watching his back glimpsed a thought.

Did this youth take up the recruitment order just to exchange for those dozen or so Late Period Qi Cultivation Pills?

“Even if that’s the case, it’s not unusual. After all, we are not giving things away for free; one always needs to exchange Merit and Spirit Stones,”

the old cultivator thought, shaking his head and no longer paying attention to the white-haired youth.

While rare, such clever tricks weren’t unheard of.

And to the sect, these little smarts were of no consequence.

Even those outside sects who had exchanged for Secret Techniques, in order to obtain subsequent cultivation techniques and Pills, would often return, serving the Immortal Sect obediently for Merit!
