Chapter 10, The Magical Five-Colored Soil

Duan Xu finally understood one thing amidst his excitement, which is that the five-colored soil within the celestial pearl possesses the ability to promote rapid plant growth

He removed the wild grass and casually pried open a wild fruit, extracting two seeds from it and placing them into the celestial bead space

The disciple nodded in response and then turned to leave

Eh?

Isn't this the reed that I pulled out by the Longtan?

About an hour later, he re-entered the Celestial Pearl space and immediately noticed that the wild grass he had just seen had indeed grown much more lush, reaching a height of half a zhang.

To be a slave or a servant

Duan Xuyan finished speaking and then turned to leave

Is this a piece of fairyland soil

Amidst the towering mountains and steep ridges, Duan Xu walked in a daze.

Yes, Master Uncle

Even we cultivators need servants to assist with mundane matters, so Master Qin asked you to leave for your own good. Or is it that... you are willing to be a servant?

Then Yan'er would like to congratulate the immortal in advance

Song Yan'er

Upon hearing this, Duan Xu felt that the last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished. However, he still unwillingly said, "Is the spiritual root really that important? I see those young masters who buy 'Disciple Selection Orders' with money have also entered the immortal sect without testing their spiritual roots!"

Duan Xu raised his head and looked at the young man dressed in the disciple's robe of Lingyin Sect

From now on, we are all members of the same sect, so there is no need to call me 'Immortal Elder.' Just call me Brother Ma. It is likely that in the future, I will have to rely on you, Junior Sister.

"It's nothing, I must have misread the situation; I thought I had encountered an old acquaintance," Song Yan'er said with a smile.

In order to validate his hypothesis, he began to search for a wild grass nearby and placed it into the celestial bead space

Are you talking about them

After sitting for a while, he directly knelt facing Lingyin Gate, hoping to move the immortal masters of Lingyin Gate with his sincerity

He has never seen any thatch grow this large, it is simply astonishing to hear this

However, Miss Yan'er truly surprised me; she actually possesses dual spiritual roots. Such talent is considered exceptional even in my Lingyin Sect. If I bring you back to the sect, I will surely be rewarded by the sect.

What does it mean

I have met Master Qin!

After all, in their eyes, cultivating immortality is the true path, so how could they waste time on a mere mortal

Duan Xu appeared weak, with his lips showing signs of cracking; he had not had a sip of water for two consecutive days

During the two days, he did not consume a single grain of food, and indeed, he caught the attention of some of the celestial masters from the Lingyin Sect.

Duan Xu was deeply shocked, and his gaze finally settled on the five-colored soil, which was about a zhang in size.

After a while, he finally calmed down. With a thought, he moved the two-zhang tall reed from the library out of the Tianzhu space and into the outside world

Upon hearing this, the young man turned his head to look, and naturally saw Duan Xu, but he did not pay much attention. "Recently, Lingyin Sect has been recruiting disciples, and many mortals without spiritual roots have already been eliminated. That person should be one of them"

Well, now that my home has been destroyed and my dreams have been shattered, it would not be so bad to die in this mountain, as it would bring a sense of peace

Senior Qin

Another hour passed, and he entered the Celestial Pearl space, only to find that two lush trees had suddenly sprouted from the five-colored soil, and those trees were laden with fruits, which were wild fruits, surprisingly two to three times larger than the wild fruits outside

Had it not been for the fortuitous encounter with the heavenly bead, I would likely have perished in that dragon's pool

His expression changed slightly, not understanding why Song Yan'er would be on the crane of an immortal. However, he also showed great discretion by lowering his head, walking forward without a word, and quickening his pace, fearing that the woman would see him

In the sky, Song Yan'er let out a gasp of surprise, her brows slightly furrowed as she looked down at the figure disappearing in the distance.

Born as a human, how can one be a servant to others

Duan Xu's gaze regained its brilliance; his only hope now rested on that senior, Qin Yi.

... ...

This was caused by his fall just now, and mhetushucomcom was cut open by a sharp stone.

How could this happen

At the foot of the mountain

Duan Xu, in a moment of self-deprecation, soon felt the pangs of hunger and had no choice but to find a wild fruit tree nearby to satisfy his appetite

He sat on the ground in a daze, murmuring to himself, still unable to believe that it would turn out this way.

This time, he directly used mental control to plant that wild grass in the five-colored soil

Han Yun smiled upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Do you really think that once they enter the Lingyin Gate, they can truly cultivate immortality?"

In front of the immortal crane, a handsome young man dressed in the disciple's robe of Lingyin Temple spoke up

Had I known this earlier, I should not have brought you, this child, here. You are a delicate being entangled in the mundane world. If your thoughts are not severed, it will also affect your Dao heart towards the delicate.

I am not a celestial master, merely an ordinary disciple of the Lingyin Sect. My name is Han Yun, and I was sent here by Master Qin

Soon, he sent for a disciple

Qin Yi gazed at the sea of clouds, murmuring to himself, and then turned to enter the cave dwelling

Han Yun sighed upon seeing this, "You are very persistent. However, Master Qin has said that rules are rules. You only possess a mixed spiritual root, and even if you enter the immortal sect, you will only be the lowest-ranking servant, completely devoid of any chance to pursue the immortal path. I hope you will take care of yourself and not continue to entangle yourself in this, wasting your time in vain."

Some matters cannot be forced

Seeing that the wild fruits scattered on the ground were nearly gathered, Duan Xu jumped down from the fruit tree and then took out the heavenly bead from the fragrance pouch at his waist, preparing to store the fruits in the internal space of the heavenly bead

There is a foolish child at the foot of the mountain; you should go and persuade him to leave. Just say that I am aware of his desire to seek the Dao, but rules are rules. Even if a child with mixed spiritual roots enters the immortal gate, he will only be the lowest of servants and will have no chance of attaining the Dao. Let him take care of himself!

This kneel lasted for two days

Only because this mountain range is too vast, he arrived riding a celestial crane, and now as he walks, he naturally finds himself lost.

I thank Master Han for making this trip for me, and I understand now

Faced with Han Yun's gaze, Duan Xu's eyes flickered, and a hint of panic arose in his heart

I can't believe you have grown up this much

However, after walking for most of the day, he became lost

Upon realizing this, Duan Xu instantly understood and thus no longer insisted. He trembled as he stood up from the ground and then slightly bowed towards Han Yun

At the entrance of a cave located at the summit of Lingyin Mountain, Qin Yi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing down at the sea of clouds. His gaze seemed to penetrate through the layers of towering clouds, and he couldn't help but let out a slight sigh

Duan Xu was unable to calm his mind; this discovery left him profoundly shaken

However, the separation between the celestial and the mortal realms is eternal, yet there is not much compassion stirred in the hearts of people.

Thinking about how he did not know when he would be able to leave this great mountain, he picked more fruits, preparing to throw them into the sky pearl, so that for a short time he would not have to worry about lacking food to fill his stomach

At that moment, a figure emerged from the mountains of Lingyin Gate ahead and approached him

Before me appeared a giant object resembling a wild grass, standing at least 2 zhang tall

At the moment Duan Xu was leaving, a sudden cry of a crane echoed in the sky. He slightly raised his head and saw a familiar figure.

However, when his spirit entered the interior of the celestial pearl, he was instantly astonished

Han Yun gazed at Duan Xu's back, and couldn't help but nod in agreement, while sighing: "Although this person is devoted to the path of immortality, his character remains commendable, not controlled by desire. If he could enter the path of immortality, his future would be limitless. Unfortunately... in the end, his fate with immortality is shallow."

Duan Xu opened his eyes and looked at the enormous thatch, as hard as iron, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement

No

Although they are wild fruits, it is uncertain whether they have absorbed the ethereal energy of this land, yet the flesh of the fruit is remarkably sweet and refreshing, allowing Duan Xu to enjoy a hearty meal

He is well aware of what kind of person Song Yan'er is, a true femme fatale.

Miss Yan'er, what is the matter?

The disciple respectfully bowed with a solemn expression

Immortal ... ... Immortal Master

Duan Xu sat slumped on the ground, blood oozing from his feet, yet he remained completely oblivious.
