141 The Difference Between the Immortal Sects in the Upper Realm (Part 2)
With a gentle wave of his hand, the array formation was activated. Fang Jinyu nodded and said, âYou can speak now, Ah Lan.â
It was the secret code they had agreed on in advance.
...
Shi Wushuangâs eyes widened, and she asked, âUncle Wuyi, how can I cultivate when I donât have spiritual roots?â Although she was only three years old, she was exceptionally intelligent because she was the daughter of a cultivator. Moreover, her father, Yin Wujiu, might have paid an unknown price to make her smart and her mind comparable to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old.
âDonât worry, Iâm a professional in this.â Fang Jinyu immediately promised the little girl to prevent her from asking a hundred thousand questions.
Shi Wushuang was instantly overjoyed, but she wasnât too shocked by this. After all, although she was intelligent, she still didnât know what it meant for a mortal without spiritual roots to have a spiritual root.
As a Holy Alchemist, although it was Fang Jinyuâs first time encountering the Cloudy Jellyfish Grass, he already knew how to use it after observing it for a while.
Therefore, without much effort, when a drop of blood from Fang Jinyuâs fingertip was reflected on the little girlâs smooth forehead, a rather strange single-attribute spiritual root was born.
[Spiritual Root Aptitude: C-.]
It was within expectations. After all, it was too difficult to get a C.
[Spiritual Root attribute: Lightning]
It was probably the strangest and rarest Tianling spiritual root.
Although it was a single-attribute spiritual root, its aptitude was ridiculously poor. Her spiritual root was even worse than a cultivator with four-attribute spiritual roots.
âIn the end, the attributes of my spiritual roots have affected herâ Fang Jinyu wiped away the drop of blood on Shi Wushuangâs forehead. He was just testing it out. Afterward, he smiled and said, âClose your eyes and try to sense the spiritual energy.â
When the little girl heard it, she quickly closed her eyes and did as she was told.
One couldnât sense the spiritual energy if they didnât have spiritual roots. It could be said to have eliminated the possibility of cultivating.
That was why it was so important to have spiritual roots.
After a while, Shi Wushuang opened her eyes. Fang Jinyu saw that the little girl was exceptionally excited. Her eyes seemed to be shining.
Shi Wushuang looked at Fang Jinyu and asked softly, âUncle Wuyi, is that circle around you your spiritual energy?â
Fang Jinyu nodded. Although he had suppressed his cultivation base until the Foundation Establishment stage, it was already enough to affect the surrounding spiritual energy.
Fang Jinyu could make the spiritual energy approach him, but that was all. It didnât help much in improving his cultivation efficiency.
However, it was only for the upper realm.
If Fang Jinyu was in the Nine Desolations, then with the same cultivation talent, after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, his cultivation efficiency would be much higher than when he was in the Qi Condensation stage.
In the end, it was still the problem of the concentration of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in the upper realm was too thin. Even the spiritual energy in the immortal city outside the Shenhua Sect was less than one-third of that in Yuan City outside the Tianling Sect!
Yuan City was a place where immortals and mortals lived together!
Fang Jinyu couldnât help but recall the words of the person who had âbanishedâ himthose greedy bastards from the upper realm.
Fang Jinyu vaguely felt that there might be a reason for the upper realmâs âgreed.â
The next day, Fang Jinyu carried the little girl and sent her to the Shenhua Sect.
As she had been picked up by Fang Jinyu a few times, and had seen Qing Fu being picked up in the same way, Shi Wushuang didnât object to it. She even thought that it was normal.
The journey was smooth. After the two maids brought Shi Wushuang back, they also looked slightly relieved.
However, just as Fang Jinyu was about to leave, an accident happened.
An hour later, Fang Jinyu became an inner disciple of the Shenhua Sect.
In the Shenhua Sect, oneâs status was determined by cultivation.
Qi Condensation stage cultivators could only become outer disciples.
Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could be promoted to become inner disciples.
Core Formation stage cultivators could increase their status and directly become legacy disciples.
When one broke through the Nascent Soul stage, one would no longer be a disciple. They could become one of the sectâs elders and hold great power.
After receiving his new identity plaque, Fang Jinyu had a strange expression on his face. It was because when he previously planned to leave, he happened to meet a Nascent Soul stage elder who had returned from outside. After he sized up Fang Jinyu, he asked if he would mind being the sectâs good-looking disciple. If he didnât mind, he could join the sect.
Fang Jinyu naturally couldnât refuse.
After all, the Shenhua Sect had something that he dreamed of!
âI didnât expect that there would be a day I could rely on my appearance to make a living.â However, at this moment, no matter how Fang Jinyu thought about it, his mind was still filled with a lingering sense of humor.
Fang Jinyu was indeed a little more handsome today than yesterday. After all, he once received a boost in his appearance from the system. However, the effect didnât have to be so ridiculous, right?
To be honest, Fang Jinyu didnât care about his face.
It was because compared to his face, Fang Jinyu undoubtedly valued his cultivation more!
âJunior Brother Wuyi, please follow me. I will bring you to the Hall of Rites.â At this moment, the female disciple in charge of the admission procedures smiled at Fang Jinyu.
The female disciple was called Cheng Yao. She was also a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, but her cultivation base was slightly higher than Fang Jinyuâs. She was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Moreover, she was ranked 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
However, at this moment, the inner female disciple named Cheng Yao looked at Fang Jinyuâs face and felt a little nervous and embarrassed. It made her feel like she was back in her teenage years.
âThank you, Senior Sister Cheng.â
Fang Jinyu collected his thoughts and cupped his fists. His expression was calm and he didnât seem nervous at all.
After all, he had a Core Formation stage cultivation base.
With Qing Fuâs secret technique, âIâm good at hiding,â he was confident in concealing his true cultivation.
After Qing Fuâs guidance, Fang Jinyu already knew that he could not only use the secret technique to hide his physique but also his cultivation base.
Otherwise, Fang Jinyu wouldnât dare come to the Shenhua Sect so openly.
After Qing Fu used it, she was confident that she would be able to hide from all senses below the middle-stage Incarnation cultivator. Although Fang Jinyu wasnât as confident as her, he believed that he could still hide his cultivation base from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator if he didnât fight with others.
After all, if Fang Jinyu had failed to hide his cultivation base, he would have been exposed when he encountered the Nascent Soul stage cultivator previously.
As for Incarnation stage lord cultivators, they were rarely seen, and even if they did appear, they wouldnât go to places where inner disciples were.
Moreover, such figures usually went into closed-door cultivation for hundreds of years at a time.
The Shenhua Sect had been developing for tens of thousands of years. Apart from having a large business, they also paid attention to their appearance.
Although cultivators were based on their cultivation base and strength, how could a Qi Condensation stage cultivator sense how strong an Incarnation stage lord cultivator was? They might feel them the same as the Nascent Soul stage, Core Formation stage, or even Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
However, whether a male cultivator was handsome or not and whether a female cultivator was good-looking or not were the most direct manifestations.
Especially those with good temperaments, if they lined up in a few rows and fought outside, they would give people the feeling that the immortal sect was impressive.
The Shenhua Sect had such an idea. Not only did they search for cultivators with good temperament and good looks, but they also specially built a Hall of Rites.
Cheng Yao introduced the situation to Fang Jinyu, âJunior brother, since the Hall of Rites is special, you only need to pay 20 spirit stones to the sect every year.â
Fang Jinyu asked in surprise, âIsnât that less than the portion that outer disciples have to pay?â
The recruitment of disciples by the immortal sects of the upper world was very different from that of the Nine Desolations.
The first step to joining the Shenhua Sect for the local cultivators was to give the sect spirit stones. Of course, they paid the spirit stones for something. Outer disciples paid 30 spirit stones a year, but they could receive an elixir suitable for the Qi Condensation stage cultivators every month.
If an outer disciple could reach the Foundation Establishment stage within ten years of joining the sect and had paid spirit stones for five years, they could apply for a âFoundation Establishment Elixirâ if they had enough contribution points.
Contribution points were equivalent to the Tianling Sectâs merit points.
However, unlike Tianling Sectâs merit points, contribution points could be obtained as long as one completed a mission in Shenhua Immortal Sect.
