Chapter 1 Two and a Half Years of Immortal Cultivation
Chapter 1: Two and a half years of cultivation
Yue Kingdom, Jianzhou, Taiyue Mountains!
Ye Changsheng and a group of monks in the Qi Refining Stage were walking on the mountain road. Leading the way was Zhong Lingdao, the leader of the Yellow Maple Valley.
They are the newly recruited disciples of Huang Maple Valley.
Now, they were going to the Huang Maple Valley Patriarch's Ancestral Hall to pay homage to their ancestor before officially entering the hall.
The crowd is like a long winding snake, meandering forward.
"Huh? Why are you walking a little too far forward?"
Ye Changsheng frowned and slowly retreated behind everyone.
Just looking at the scenery, I walked too far ahead without realizing it. This is not appropriate!
He looked around and wrote down possible retreat routes.
This comes in handy in case of an accident.
As one of the seven major immortal cultivating sects in the Yue Kingdom, Huang Maple Valley opens its gates every ten years to recruit a group of disciples.
This time, many young men with good physical attributes came to Yellow Maple Valley.
Ye Changsheng is one of them!
He is a time traveler who came to this world where mortals cultivate immortality due to an accident.
When he first traveled through time, Ye Changsheng thought this was just an ordinary ancient world.
But an accident led him to discover an ancient monk's cave!
He is said to be an ancient monk, but in fact he is just a casual cultivator in the Qi refining period who became a monk hundreds of years ago.
In that cave, Ye Changsheng received the mantle and legacy of the ancient monks.
It includes the skills, elixirs, talismans, magical tools, etc. owned by the cultivators, as well as a very important handbook.
From that handbook, Ye Changsheng learned a lot of basic knowledge about cultivating immortals.
When he saw the names of the seven major immortal cultivating sects in the Yue Kingdom, including the Hidden Moon Sect, Tianque Castle, and Huang Maple Valley, he knew what kind of world he had come to.
After testing, it was found that Ye Changsheng had spiritual roots with dual attributes of metal and wood, and his cultivation aptitude was considered to be above average.
After receiving the mantle of an ancient monk, Ye Changsheng immediately began to concentrate on studying the path of immortality.
After careful exploration, he gradually came into contact with the Yue Kingdom's circle of immortals.
From some casual cultivators, he learned about the Immortal Ascension Conference.
According to Ye Changsheng's memory of the original work, after the Immortal Ascension Conference, Huang Maple Valley will hold a disciple recruitment conference.
At that disciple recruitment conference, Huang Maple Valley recruited thousands of disciples, including a pair of brothers from Lei Linggen.
Ye Changsheng had not been practicing for a long time, and attending the Immortal Ascension Conference would simply cost him his life, so he planned to join the Yellow Maple Valley at this disciple recruitment conference.
With his qualifications of dual spiritual roots, it is not difficult to do this.
Sure enough, at the Yellow Maple Valley disciple recruitment conference, after Ye Changsheng's dual spiritual root qualifications were tested and confirmed, he avoided all tests and joined the Yellow Maple Valley.
At this time, he was already a monk at the fifth level of Qi refining stage and had been practicing for two and a half years.
Ye Changsheng, who is familiar with the legends of mortals cultivating immortals, knows very well that the Tiannan region where the Yue Kingdom is located is an area with very poor resources for cultivating immortals.
Foundation Building Pills are basically controlled by all the major cultivating sects.
If you want to build a foundation quickly, the best way is to join a major cultivating sect.
"Okay, from now on, you are all disciples of Huang Maple Valley!" After paying homage to the ancestor, the leader Zhong Lingdao said.
"Next, a steward will tell you about the sect rules, the tasks and benefits of Qi refining disciples, and other common knowledge of Huang Maple Valley!"
"You must keep this in mind!"
"I will obey the orders of the master!"
Thousands of people shouted at the same time, and the sound echoed among the mountains, attracting some old disciples to stop and watch.
Zhong Lingdao encouraged everyone a few more words and then left gracefully.
Some foundation-building stewards appeared with a group of old Qi-refining disciples and distributed entry benefits to everyone.
A yellow silk shirt, a green leaf magic weapon, a set of daily refining tools, one each of the Fierce Sun Sword and Cold Moon Dao, and a ten-fold storage bag.
This is all that the introductory disciples of Yellow Maple Valley can receive.
They are all low-level magic weapons, with a total value of no more than thirty low-level spiritual stones.
After distributing the entry benefits, several stewards told everyone about the rules, precautions and other common sense.
Then, he took everyone to Chuangong Pavilion, Baiji Hall and other places.
"This Baiji Hall is the place where missions are released and received." said the foundation building manager who led them.
Ye Changsheng and the other thousands of people were like primary school students on a spring outing, obediently following the steward's lead and walking through various pavilions and palaces.
"You, the new disciples, can practice freely for the first month."
"After one month, you must receive certain tasks every month and complete them on time."
"After completing the mission, some low-level spiritual stones will be distributed every month as a reward."
"Uncle Master, what if the mission is not completed?" asked a bold Qi-refining stage disciple.
"Not completed? Hey, if you don't complete it, you have to hand in some spirit stones as punishment!"
"Uncle Master, can you tell me what these tasks are like?" A disciple asked with a worried look on his face.
"Don't worry, for you disciples in the Qi Refining Stage, the sect will not issue any particularly difficult tasks!"
"They are all simple chores, such as going to several mining areas to supervise the mining of miners, serving as a deacon disciple in the sect's market, taking care of spiritual beasts, planting elixirs, etc."
"You can go to Baiji Hall to learn more about these things in the future."
After getting familiar with Yellow Maple Valley, the disciples were sent to their residences.
This is a large stone house, very simple, and is the residence of disciples below the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"What the hell is this place?"
"Can anyone live in this shabby place?"
After the steward left, looking at the war-damaged stone houses in Syria, many new disciples complained.
Many of them used to be young masters and ladies from cultivating immortal families, and they were rich in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Now that I'm in a place like this, it's a little hard to adapt.
Ye Changsheng stood silently in the crowd.
When he saw hundreds of people choosing to live in stone houses one after another, he also moved.
He found a stone house near the edge, and Ye Changsheng lived in it.
Don't be the first person, don't be the last person, stay moderate and follow the crowd, and always be cautious. This is the ideological program for survival in the mortal world.
Sitting in the stone house, Ye Changsheng recalled his cultivation experience over the past two years.
When Ye Changsheng first embarked on the path of spiritual practice, it was very difficult for him.
Although the qualifications of the dual spirit roots are indeed extraordinary, with some pills, it only took a year and a half to reach the third level of Qi refining.
But Ye Changsheng still couldn’t be satisfied!
The further the Qi refining period reaches the later stage, the slower the speed becomes.
Moreover, Ye Changsheng's elixirs are about to be used up, and he will have to rely on his own hard work to practice from now on.
How can this be done?
At this pace of cultivation, the ability to build a foundation is already the limit.
Pill formation?
If there is no big opportunity, don’t even think about it!
Ye Changsheng once seriously considered whether to find the little green bottle?
But soon, an accident made him give up this idea.
He discovered a special place in himself.
Whenever he touched an object with his left hand, he silently recited "Analyze" in his mind, and a burst of white light would emit from his hand, completely analyzing the object.
Then he silently recited "Copy" in his mind, and his right hand would absorb a certain amount of spiritual stones and copy that thing.
This discovery made Ye Changsheng ecstatic.
He discovered that whether it was medicinal materials, elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, materials, etc., as long as they were not living things, they could be analyzed and copied.
As long as you have enough spirit stone tubes, you can copy as many copies as you want.
This is simply an outrageous plug-in!
A high-grade magic weapon only needs fifty low-grade spiritual stones to be copied.
But when I sell it, I can sell more than a hundred low-level spiritual stones.
Totally huge profits!
With such a plug-in, Ye Changsheng could have hidden away and focused on practicing.
But for the foundation building pill, he still chose to join Yellow Maple Valley.
