Chapter 0008: Introducing Spirit Seeds in Ling Tian Valley

Now you are all mere mortals, unable to perceive the pure spiritual energy between heaven and earth. If you proceed step by step, even the most talented disciples will require at least one month to sense the existence of spiritual energy. To expedite the process of drawing spiritual energy into your bodies, each person will receive one Spirit Drawing Pill every day for the next three months, which will allow you to instantly perceive the presence of spiritual energy. As for how long it will take to draw the spiritual energy into your body, that depends on your individual fortune. Remember, after taking the Spirit Drawing Pill, the effect lasts only half an hour; if you fail, you will have to wait until tomorrow to take it again.

I am your enlightening immortal master, Elder Chu Cai of Ling Tian Valley. In the next three months, you will study spiritual techniques and cultivate immortal roots in Ling Tian Valley. Disciples who successfully break through and sprout into the Immortal Seed stage within these three months will receive focused training from the sect and may even be directly promoted to the inner sect, becoming disciples under the four main elders. Additionally, the annual family support will increase from 200 taels to 400 taels. However, if you do not sprout within three months, you will be assigned work, starting as a miscellaneous disciple.

... ...

While Elder Chu was still entangled in his thoughts about Qin Haoxuan, suddenly a unique aura, characteristic of the spirit-inviting technique, erupted from a person beside Qin Haoxuan, completely capturing his attention

The study of invoking spirits into the body focuses on the heart's intent and one's innate qualities. It is essential to remain calm and composed, avoiding arrogance and impatience; otherwise, success will be unattainable. Remember this well!

Beneath the Hall of Primordial Beginning, many buildings and courtyards, even more exquisite and grand than those halfway up the mountain, are constructed in accordance with the terrain, layered upon one another, and are faintly visible among the towering ancient trees. Those who can enter here are none other than the esteemed elders and core disciples of the Primordial Sect

Elder Chu sighed softly, no wonder those supreme sects fought fiercely over a single disciple with a purple seed. With such exceptional talent and comprehension, just considering the speed at which he draws spiritual energy into his body, his future achievements are boundless

The celestial cloud vehicle soared into the sky, breaking through the cloud layer at the halfway point of the mountain.

Similarly, Xu Yu, who had been exposed, walked down from the testing platform with her head lowered, her face flushed to her neck

With a bang, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from the northwest corner. Li Jing was the first to successfully draw the spirit into his body. Coming from a royal lineage, he had received systematic training since childhood, growing up on spiritual pills and elixirs. His innate vitality was undoubtedly the strongest among this group of new disciples. After consuming the spirit-drawing pill, his aura surged, and in an instant, he absorbed the spiritual energy into his body, nourishing his innate seed. The seed trembled slightly, extending a fine root.

The celestial cloud vehicle, traveling swiftly through the air, is both flat and stable, offering a panoramic view of Huangdi Peak. The various buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, and the growth of every blade of grass and tree is so natural and appropriate, evoking a sense of tranquility and delight. Many trivial thoughts and mundane concerns vanish completely, giving rise to a lofty sentiment of compassion for the world.

Before the identity was exposed, everything was fine; however, after being revealed, recalling that I had spent the night embracing this unfamiliar man, Qin Haoxuan, especially knowing that quite a few people are aware of this, how will I face others in the future

Finally, the time has come to pursue immortality. The two hundred excited new disciples each chose a spot to sit down, calming their emotions and consuming the spirit-conducting elixir. Whether motivated by the annual accommodation fee of four hundred taels or the opportunity to become a disciple under the head of the four halls, everyone held a belief in the necessity of success, with a sense of urgency to achieve it as quickly as possible

Due to the emergence of three disciples of the Purple Immortal Seed among you, the Master has granted permission for you to view the entire majesty of Huangdi Peak. Huangdi Peak resonates with the principles of the Heavenly Dao, presenting a rare opportunity for profound contemplation

Startled by the commotion caused by Li Jing, the vast majority of the new disciples opened their eyes, with many expressing their admiration in soft exclamations. Elder Chu carefully counted, finding that fewer than ten individuals remained unaffected, still immersed in their contemplation, among them was Qin Haoxuan.

Everyone nodded in agreement, the previous atmosphere of competing for disciples had vanished. Each person's expression was grave, as they all understood the significance of this purple seed. If it were to be discovered by the Wan Zai Sect... it would likely lead to an immediate assault on the mountain gate. Although the Tai Chu Sect could potentially inflict some damage on the Wan Zai Sect, it would undoubtedly face annihilation. This was a terrifying existence that had endured through the trials of the Wan Zai Sect.

The celestial cloud vehicle travels at an extremely high speed, flying around the Yellow Emperor Peak before landing in a valley behind the peak

Even in the most barren places, there exists the essence of heaven and earth, albeit in a more diluted form. Many spiritual herbs and extraordinary plants also emit various types of spiritual energy. The little snake possesses an exceptionally strong sensitivity to this energy, allowing it to perceive the nuances of different spiritual essences, which is how it is able to locate various spiritual herbs and extraordinary plants

This incense not only serves to calm the mind and spirit but also functions as a timer, achieving two objectives with one action

Xu Yu, who was hiding behind Qin Haoxuan, once again attracted a great deal of hatred for him. Those who wished to get close to Xu Yu inexplicably developed a hatred for Qin Haoxuan. However, Qin Haoxuan did not take the animosity and hostility from others to heart, as these feelings served as motivation for him to become even stronger

The azure sky resembled a mirror, pristine without a trace of clouds, with a gentle breeze blowing. Occasionally, celestial cranes gracefully flew past the side of the celestial cloud carriage. In contrast to the excited new disciples who were shouting and cheering, it remained calm and composed, exuding an air of elegance.

After the elder announced, the closed windows of the celestial cloud carriage slowly opened. Several elders waved their hands, casting streams of celestial spiritual energy, which activated the protective mountain formation guarding the main vein of the Yellow Emperor Peak, dispersing the mist that lingered in the air

Li Jing's expression suddenly turned grim, as Zhang Kuang, true to his name, dared to provoke him so openly and even mock Qin Haoyu with such impatience. However, beneath his arrogant demeanor lay a cunning side; upon realizing that he needed to win over Xu Yu, he immediately rushed over to create trouble.

This time, the one who drew the spirit into her body was Xu Yu. After the spirit was drawn in, her complexion became rosy, and she subtly exuded the extraordinary grace of a woman. Her bright eyes swept over Qin Haoxuan, and upon seeing that he was in deep meditation and showed no reaction, she disregarded the envious and flattering gazes of others, closed her eyes, and began to breathe deeply, absorbing spiritual energy to nurture her immortal seed, striving to enter the Immortal Seedling realm as soon as possible

Although Qin Haoxuan's body felt spiritual energy for the first time, he was not unfamiliar with it, as he had experienced it countless times when his soul was attached to a small snake

Li Jing had already left others far behind. In the next three months, he only needed to devote himself to drawing spiritual energy into his body, nurturing the immortal seed, and urging it to sprout as quickly as possible. This speed astonished Elder Chu, the Enlightenment Immortal Master, leaving him dumbfounded, with his old face flushed with excitement.

At this moment, Li Jing also approached, driving away the group of disciples surrounding Xu Yu, and with a smile, he clasped his hands and said: "Junior Sister Xu, yesterday I failed to recognize the greatness of the mountain, not realizing that the slender and petite Xu brother is actually a charming young lady. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me."

On Qin Haoxuan, his gaze lingered for a moment; this young man exuded a faint aura that was distinctly different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was very weak yet exceptionally pure, at least much more refined than the spiritual energy of Lantau Island.

Even the well-informed and esteemed Third Prince Li Jing displayed a look of excitement. The layout and scenery of Huangdi Peak blend the insights of the ancestral masters regarding the Dao of Heaven, subtly aligning with the principles of the Great Dao. Even a single glance serves as an excellent purification for the mind, a reward reserved for disciples who have made significant contributions to the sect

Elder Chu had not yet had the chance to express his emotions when, not far away, Zhang Kuang exuded a unique aura characteristic of having drawn in spiritual energy, radiating a wild intensity, as the saying goes, "Qi is born from the heart"

After explaining the method of drawing in qi, Elder Chu repeatedly reminded them before finally lighting a long incense stick

The spirit elixir melted upon entry, transforming into a nourishing liquid that flowed into his abdomen. Moments later, Qin Haoxuan felt his body lighten, as the previously empty air became infused with pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth, drifting in the air, formless and colorless, bringing a sense of tranquility to the mind.

As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement while insiders observe the subtleties. Several elders were deep in thought, sitting cross-legged in meditation to comprehend the Dao. Even though they held the esteemed title of elders, such an opportunity to view the entire panorama of Huangdi Peak was rare. The new disciples, with the exception of a few exceptionally perceptive ones, were mostly captivated by the scenery that resembled a fairyland. The view from the pavilion halfway up the mountain was breathtaking for these new disciples, not to mention the ethereal aura surrounding Huangdi Peak.

Qin Haoxuan's group was no exception. In a meticulously constructed school, two hundred new students eagerly awaited as a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar gracefully appeared before everyone

Huangdi Peak Master Church

At this moment, all the senior officials of Taichu have gathered together

Elder Chu spoke straightforwardly, distributing to each person a gray elixir the size of a longan, rich in spiritual energy

While Qin Haoxuan was still immersed in the wonderful sensation of his body first sensing spiritual energy, some other new disciples had already begun attempting to draw spiritual energy into their bodies

Congratulations, Junior Sister Xu, you no longer need to fear being bullied by certain individuals, and you can also sleep at night without worrying about someone stealing your blanket. " A cold voice from behind Li Jing said, "However, it is still better for Junior Sister Xu to maintain a distance from Qin Haoyu. You are a supreme purple seed, while my fellow townsman is merely a colorless weak seed, a world apart. If you get too close, others might think he is relying on a woman's influence! He is quite a proud person.

Even when it occurs right beside him, under the influence of such a powerful aura and momentum from others, Qin Haoxuan shows no signs or reactions. From his expression and breathing, it is evident that he neither feels anxious due to the success of others nor feels inferior because of it. This unshakeable state of mind even earns quiet admiration from Chu Cai, though unfortunately, his aptitude falls a bit short.

Chu Cai, who had been a guiding immortal teacher for a lifetime, encountered for the first time a person who had not yet drawn spiritual energy into their body, yet exuded such harmonious and pure spiritual aura. Unfortunately, this young man appeared to possess very ordinary talent.

With a flushed face, Qin Haoxuan hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, shielding the heavily surrounded Xu Yu behind him. Looking at Qin Haoxuan's tall and broad back, Xu Yu felt a deep sense of security. Qin Haoxuan always provided her with a sense of peace that no one else could offer, unrelated to talent or strength

Having spoken, several elders led two hundred new disciples onto a massive, fully enclosed celestial cloud carriage, heading to a place called Ling Tian Valley

Lingtiangu, as the name suggests, is a valley abundant in spiritual energy. It resembles a fertile land where generations of new disciples begin their cultivation of immortality, plant their immortal roots, and grow into talented individuals.

At this moment, the Master Huang Long Zhenren on the stage announced: "This year's final test for new disciples has come to an end. Regardless of the strength of your innate talents, I hope you will remain humble and diligent in your studies; otherwise, even the best qualifications will be wasted. You will now begin a three-month introductory training period, and these three months will determine your fate for the rest of your lives"

The Yellow Emperor Peak seems to have been cleaved at its summit by a giant axe, leaving a vast flat area at the top. Here stands the Taichu Treasure Hall, which captivates the hearts of all in the Xianglong Kingdom, covering an area of over 1,000 acres. It is immense and majestic, exuding an unparalleled grandeur, with the sounds of bells and incantations echoing endlessly.

Huang Long Zhenren, holding onto the armrest of the grand master's chair, said with a serious expression: "Everyone, regarding the matter of the purple seed today, I ask you to return to your respective halls and keep this information confidential. If this news leaks from any hall to the outside of the mountain gate, and my Taichu is destroyed, none of us will have the face to meet our ancestors of past generations"

Just stepping down from the testing platform, Xu Yu was immediately surrounded by many flattering disciples, which startled him and left him at a loss for what to do. He cast a pleading glance at his only acquaintance, Qin Haoxuan.

Because three disciples of the Purple lineage, along with more than one hundred other disciples who may never have the opportunity to see the full view of Huangdi Peak, have benefited from this, if they can grasp even a little bit of insight, it will be extremely helpful for their future cultivation. Even if they do not gain any understanding, this experience will still serve as the best capital for boasting.

After the spirit was drawn into his body, Li Jing's complexion became rosy, and a trace of spiritual energy emerged from him. His gaze was much more lively than before, and he exuded an even more refined and handsome demeanor. The originally strikingly handsome man now possessed an air of elegance and grace, radiating a sense of superiority that made others both want to approach him and feel a sense of inferiority.

The process of drawing in Qi is the first step in cultivating immortality. Breaking through the immortal seed and manifesting the immortal root is as easy as pie for those with exceptional aptitude, yet it can trap many disciples of weaker lineage at this stage of drawing in spiritual energy for a long time

Qin Haoxuan, who was the focus of many gazes, immediately felt his face flush. Despite being mature for his age, he was still just a youthful and vigorous young man, and he was rather shy.

It is said that the current leader, Huang Long Zhenren, took the time of a tea break to successfully draw the spirit into his body. As expected of someone from a royal background and possessing a purple celestial seed, he almost succeeded in drawing the spirit into his body as soon as the spirit-drawing pill was ingested, breaking through the celestial seed and crossing the first threshold on the path of cultivation.

In less than thirty breaths, three disciples of the Purple lineage successively drew the spirit into their bodies, breaking through the celestial seed
