Chapter 401: Stepping into the Immortal Sect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were hundreds of human sects of various sizes in the Immortal World. The Martial Yuan Sect was considered one of the medial-class ones.
The most famous sect in the entire Immortal World was called the Immortal Spirit Sect. There were countless mighty figures inside. It was said that as long as one stepped into the Immortal Spirit Sect, they would no longer have to worry in the Immortal World.
It was vast and covered dozens of immortal mountains. There were countless vassal sects or demons around it.
It was said that the Immortal Spirit Sect was a place that everyone in the Immortal World yearned for, especially those idle cultivators. If they had the chance to enter the Immortal Spirit Sect, it would be a huge opening for their future cultivation path.
The Immortal World was not like the Lower Realm where there were no rules at all.
Most of the places here were prohibited from fighting with each other. Moreover, the entire Immortal World was enveloped in a powerful array formation. Each of the sects was in charge of their area.
If anyone dared to cause trouble in a specific area, the law enforcement team would arrive in an extremely short period of time.
Ordinary people did not dare to cause trouble. If they were targeted by the law enforcers, it would be difficult to shake them off.
Li Yuanqing obtained a token from Zhao Baoyun to enter the Martial Yuan Sect. Although their tokens were all the lowest-level servant tokens, without this token, they could not even enter the sect protection array outside.
There were also two Immortal Pills.
The greatest use of this pill was that it could help people in the Lower Realm transform their flesh, blood, and meridians.
Generally speaking, those who could rise from the Lower Realm to the Immortal World had been baptized by the lightning tribulation. Their bodies had already been forged and could fit into the environment of the Immortal World.
This Immortal Pill was a shortcut to body tempering.
In Li Yuanqing’s domain space, two huge cocoons floated in midair, faintly emitting a red light that jumped between breaths. There was an incense burner beside him. In the middle of the incense burner was a slender incense stick that was about to burn to the roots.
According to Zhao Baoyun, this Immortal Pill could basically succeed in an instant. There were very few failures. However, the incense stick was almost finished, and the two of them did not have any signs of breaking out of the cocoon. Could something have happened?
Li Yuanqing turned around and appeared in a very simple wooden house. The interior of the wooden house was very simple. It was just some simple wood stacked together, but the structure was very exquisite and looked very sturdy.
The house was filled with a very strong fragrance of wood, mixed with the faint smell of rotting plants. When he walked out of the house, he could see that the periphery of the wooden house was filled with all kinds of flowers and spiritual herbs.
These flowers took root in the wooden house and grew very vigorously. Looking out, a very vast medicinal field surrounded the house, surrounding the entire house in the middle.
Outside the medicinal field were three towering hills.
This large medicinal field surrounded by three slopes was one of the medicinal gardens of the Martial Yuan Sect.
The medicinal fields extended towards the hillside and only stopped halfway up the mountain. Every medicinal field here was a square that was ten feet square.
There were more than a thousand cubes evenly pasted in every corner of the valley. All of this had to be taken care of by Li Yuanqing and the other two.
This was a lucrative job. Li Yuanqing had spent a lot of demon cores to get this job.
However, the demon cores were collected by the Black Dragon anyway. There was nothing to feel bad about spending them.
After Li Yuanqing passed through the Immortal Ascension Door from the Lower Realm, he immediately rushed to the medicinal garden of the sect. He was anxious to complete the transformation of Hu Jiujiu and Little Man. Just now, he had only given a simple notice to Zhao Baoyun.
Zhao Baoyun seemed to have something on just now and had yet to rush over.
There were restrictions around the medicinal field. Without a special token, it was impossible to approach it.
Li Yuanqing stood at the periphery of the medicinal field and looked at the lush medicinal herbs growing inside. Above each medicinal field was a transparent shed condensed from an array formation.
The shed was as tall as two people. It was filled with green plants that squeezed the shed.
The spiritual energy in the Immortal World was thousands of times richer than in the Lower Realm, and the spiritual energy in these medicinal fields was dozens of times denser.
One could see that the dense spiritual energy had turned into turbid white liquid. It dripped from the leaves of the plant and landed in the soil. It slowly seeped in and was crazily absorbed by the plant’s roots.
Li Yuanqing looked at these plants. He could even see with the naked eye that these things were constantly changing. They seemed to have grown bigger every moment, especially the strange fruit in front of him.
This fruit was red, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom like a gourd. However, it did not have a particularly thin waist. It should be said that it looked like a pumpkin.
This red pumpkin was crystal clear and emitted a sparkling red light. It looked very tender, making people want to take a bite just by looking at it from outside.
“This is the Fire Spirit Fruit. It contains the richest fire-attribute spiritual energy. Whether it’s used to cultivate fire-attribute secret manuals or refine fire-attribute Dharma artifacts, they are very useful basic materials. The yield is also very high. It’s one of the few herbs with the highest yield every year. You have to take good care of it.”
Just as Li Yuanqing was watching, Zhao Baoyun suddenly rushed over.
Zhao Baoyun held a jade token in his hand and casually threw it.
The jade token flew straight at Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing reached out to take it, but the jade token easily passed through his palm. The jade token was still walking straight forward, as if it was going to pass through Li Yuanqing’s chest and land in his body.
A layer of black light flashed on Li Yuanqing’s body and blocked the jade token.
Zhao Baoyun looked at him in surprise and reminded Li Yuanqing, “You have to keep this key in your body. From now on, you can enter and leave this medicinal field freely. Open your defense a little and let it in.”
Li Yuanqing nodded gently. A light flashed on his body and the black barrier disappeared.
The jade token easily entered Li Yuanqing’s body.
Li Yuanqing felt a very rich fragrance of herbs suddenly enter his mouth and nose. The moment the jade token entered its body, the restrictions on it were completely opened. The rich fragrance contained in it wrapped around it.
[Congratulations for successfully signing in to the medicinal field of Martial Yuan Sect . Reward received!]
[Reward One: Twin hoes!]
[Reward two: 100 bottles of Divine Origin Water!]
“Choose Reward Two!”
[Congratulations on obtaining 100 bottles of Divine Origin Water! Reward issued.]
Li Yuanqing came back to his senses. Zhao Baoyun was looking at him in confusion.
“Brother Li, what’s wrong?”
Zhao Baoyun sized Li Yuanqing up.
Why was one of the three of them here now when the brother from last time introduced them? Moreover, this fellow looked strange and did not feel normal.
“I’m fine. I’ve made Brother Zhao worry.”
Zhao Baoyun nodded reluctantly and looked at Li Yuanqing again with some worry. “I heard from your brother that there are three of you. Why are you the only one now?”
“The two of them have just taken the Immortal Pill. Their condition is still unstable. I was just about to ask you.”
“Have you lit the incense I gave you?”
“That incense stick is almost finished. I don’t see any signs of them waking up.”
Zhao Baoyun looked at the medicinal field and pondered for a moment. He hesitated and said, “It’s nothing. It’s only a matter of time before they consume this Immortal Pill. It’s normal for it to take a longer time.”
“I see.”
“Don’t worry.” Zhao Baoyun looked a little guilty. He took out a green bottle from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuanqing. “If there’s anything unstable about the two of them later, split this bottle of Spirit Returning Water into two and pour it on them. It can save their lives.”
Li Yuanqing’s eyebrows trembled slightly when he heard his words. Why did this guy sound so uncertain?
“Don’t worry, brother. Nothing will happen. Your two sisters will definitely be fine. Don’t worry.”
Zhao Baoyun smiled awkwardly. He looked around and suddenly took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuanqing.
“These are the herbs planted in all the medicinal fields, the time they ripen, the standard of picking, and the monthly output. They all have very fixed standards. You just have to pick them according to the rules marked on them. You don’t have to do much else. Do you understand?”
“Understood.”
Zhao Baoyun smiled and patted Li Yuanqing’s shoulder. “Brother, be happy. You’ve been in the Lower Realm for so long. It’s not easy for you to come back. It’s much better to be able to stay in the Immortal World than in the Lower Realm.”
“You’re right, Brother Zhao. How can the Lower Realm compare to the rich spiritual energy of the Immortal World?”
“I see that your cultivation level is about to reach the Supremacy realm. Is the spiritual energy in your Lower Realm so dense? This is rare.” Zhao Baoyun sized up Li Yuanqing and muttered in confusion, “I haven’t seen anyone who has ascended from the Lower Realm past the Supremacy realm for many years.”
Li Yuanqing said with a dejected expression, “It’s also because Master invested so many pills in me that I can have such a cultivation level.”
Zhao Baoyun’s expression turned solemn.
“Fellow Daoist, you should let go of your grief. Since the old man has already passed away, you should think it through as soon as possible.”
Back then, Li Yuanqing had gotten his Wood Spirit Clone to search for clues everywhere. He happened to see a recruitment notice to hire a person to guard the medicinal field. They needed rich knowledge about medicinal herbs, preferably an alchemist.
Therefore, he fabricated such an identity for himself, saying that he was an alchemist from a hidden expert.
Li Yuanqing followed this alchemist. However, when this old alchemist went to the Lower Realm to search for pills, he unfortunately died.
Li Yuanqing was also left behind in the Lower Realm and had never returned to the Immortal World.
Originally, Zhao Baoyun had his doubts when he heard such a story. However, the knowledge of medicinal herbs displayed by the Wood Spirit Clone and the pills that Li Yuanqing had personally refined made Zhao Baoyun’s eyes light up. This was the person he was looking for.
In addition, Li Yuanqing’s conditions were very low. They were basically half of what the others requested. He only needed to have a pay of ten spirit stones a month.
Of course, the spirit stones in the Immortal World were the purest high-grade spirit stones.
High-grade spirit stones were not produced in the Lower Realm at all. One piece was equivalent to thousands of medium-grade spirit stones. This value was already high enough. However, in the Immortal World, it was only the remuneration of a servant for a month.
Li Yuanqing did not care about these things at all. He did not lack materials at all. It would be best as long as he could get this opportunity.
Li Yuanqing followed Zhao Baoyun’s words and nodded gently, as if he was trying his best to restrain the sadness on his face.
“Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhao. However, it’s been so many years. I don’t care that much anymore.”
“That’s good! Since you’ve already returned to the Immortal World, then do well in the future. I see that your attainments in alchemy are quite deep. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll introduce you to the elders of the sect. Perhaps they can even take you in as a disciple. At that time, you’ll have another chance.”
Zhao Baoyun looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile and patted his shoulder.
“Thank you, Brother Zhao.”
“It’s nothing. Since you were recommended by me, the two of us will be brothers from now on. There’s no need to be so polite. I still have something to do. If there’s anything else, you can tell me. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Take care, Brother Zhao.”
As Zhao Baoyun spoke, he summoned a light from above his head and enveloped his body. When the light dissipated, Zhao Baoyun disappeared.
After the chief left, Li Yuanqing removed the sadness on his face and took out the strange potion again.
This guy’s words were so unreliable just now. He felt that there was something wrong with the Immortal Pills he gave them. Otherwise, Hu Jiujiu and Little Man wouldn’t have been unconscious until now.
This so-called Spirit Returning Water was dark and emitted a very strong smell of herbs.
Li Yuanqing put away the green bottle. He had just signed in from the system and obtained 100 bottles of Divine Origin Water. He did not know what this water was for.
The blue bottle was the height of a palm and had a round stomach. The bottleneck was slightly narrower and the mouth of the bottle was wide open. It was filled to the brim.
Li Yuanqing tilted the bottle slightly and a pool of transparent liquid came out. Under Li Yuanqing’s control, the transparent liquid floated in midair.
It was unknown what this liquid was used for. It looked like ordinary water, but he could feel a very strong power fluctuation from it.
Li Yuanqing took a drop of water from the small ball of water and looked at the crystal clear Fire Spirit Fruit beside him.
He dropped the drop of water on the root of the Fire Spirit Fruit.
