Cultivation: Starting with Farming in the Spiritual Pivot Grotto

Chapter 26 Sudhana

The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Senior Brother Lingji silently put away the small cauldron, not wanting to bring it up again.

Those who cultivate immortality associate with no ordinary people; it is truly difficult for them to talk about excrement and urine, let alone rare and precious materials.

"Li Yuanqi, you didn't just bring this much, did you?"

"You, Xie Lingji, have the nerve to accept this small gift? I'd be embarrassed to give it to you."

Li Yuanqi looked disdainful.

"I have another big gift here, will you accept it or not!"

"I'll accept any size!"

Li Yuanqi looked at Old Liu: "Close the gate!"

Old Liu simply raised his hand and wrote the character "静" (quiet) in the air, creating a silent barrier that separated the inside from the outside, even the falling snowflakes were not exempt.

"I received a message from my grandfather saying that Fallen Dragon Valley is going to open. This time it won't just be the four of you sects. There will be surrounding families, sects from other regions, and even Baiyujing will send people in."

Li Ya frowned upon hearing this. For so many years, Fallen Dragon Valley had always been guarded by four sects: Yunfu Sect, Yinhua Sect, Fallen Valley, and Wenxiang Sect.

This is also one of the responsibilities assigned to Baiyujing. Whenever the laws and regulations are relaxed, these four sects are responsible for repairs.

Taking advantage of the situation, he sent his disciples in to search for the treasure, and Bai Yujing turned a blind eye, treating it as a form of payment for the jailer.

Li Ya frowned. This was similar to the Fallen Dragon Cup Children's Crawling Competition, which originally only had four kindergartens participating.

The person in charge of this area suddenly posted an article saying that elementary and middle school students could also participate.

Even if their cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, can those from Yunfu Sect be compared with those powerful families, noble clans, and great sects?

"What is the reason?" Li Ya asked.

Li Yuanqi sighed, "What else could it be? You guys are just unlucky!"

"I heard from my great-grandfather in Longshouyuan that the True Lord from Baiyujing has spoken. The remnant soul of the dragon in the Fallen Dragon Valley has been suppressed for so many years, and its malevolent energy has been worn away. It's time for it to be reborn. Once reborn, it will be an excellent dragon-type spiritual creature. Do you think it wouldn't be a problem for anyone who gets this opportunity to become a Purple Mansion True Person?"

How many cultivators are there in the world? And how many are at the Golden Core stage?

Moreover, it is a dragon at the Golden Core stage that is about to transform into a dragon. Its dragon soul already has dragon nature. I'm afraid it can not only create a Purple Mansion True Person, but also a Golden Core True Monarch.

Who would sit idly by and ignore such an opportunity? No family or sect could do that and disregard the chance to gain another Purple Mansion True Person.

Why would sects settle and families migrate to the originally desolate Poyang Lake?

The reason lies in the Fallen Dragon Valley, a place naturally suppressing dragons. The remains of a golden core-level dragon were sealed here, and only a small amount of its energy flowed downstream into the Poyang Lake, nourishing such a vast and fertile land.

"Xie Lingji, tell me, isn't this a great gift? As soon as I got the news, I rushed straight to Yunfu Sect without a moment's rest. Isn't that generous enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough!" Senior Brother Lingji stopped teasing him. "You've given me such a big gift, so I have to treat you to a night of drinking until we drop."

Li Ya was speechless. Could it be that the Li Yuanqi he saw in Qianjin Pavilion was an imposter?

You should know that when you were at Qianjin Pavilion, it had been a month already.

Li Yuanqi can lie without batting an eye.

"Knowing you're poor, and Aunt Xie isn't in a good situation either, I figured you'd definitely be going to Fallen Dragon Valley this time, so I bought you some protective items."

This sudden change in Li Yuanqi made Xie Lingji feel like a stranger, and she felt a wave of fear: "You're making this up as if I'm going to die."

"Brother Xiaoya, you're coming with me too!"

Li Yuanqi stared in astonishment, his tone full of disbelief: "He's only at the second level of Qi Refining."

"Wrong, it's almost at the third level of Qi Refining!"

Li Ya carefully corrected it.

"That's only the third level of Qi Refining."

"Li Yuanqi, don't look down on Brother Xiaoya." Xie Lingji knew that his words were annoying, so he quickly interrupted him.

"Just a month ago, he was only at the first level of Qi Refining, and now in a few more days he'll be at the third level. He's much stronger than you were back then!"

"Brother Xiaoya, Yuan Qi isn't good with words, please forgive him. I bought a lot of things, you can pick some later too."

"It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal," that's just a few harsh words, but besides, he really did give it to me.

"The Nine Yang Talisman Sword of Jiugong Mountain, the Turtle Breathing Pill of Jingu Cave, the Heavenly Thunder Seed of the Three Caves Divine Firmament Palace..."

Before long, the stone table was overflowing with numerous items, each a flagship product of its respective school.

Li Ya immediately took a liking to the talisman sword. The sword was an arm's length long and was not forged from metal or iron, but from some kind of extremely dense spiritual wood.

Countless fine Daoist characters run from the hilt to the tip of the sword, interwoven and winding in layers.

The talisman sword was not sharpened; its edges were warm and lustrous. Li Ya picked it up, but it felt somewhat heavy in his hand.

The moment the grip tightened, the Chen Su Tian Du Sword Pill in the Fei Shu acupoint trembled slightly.

A faint flame rose around the talisman sword, and the runes lit up one after another, with a faint roar of flames.

Old Liu's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked over.

"Brother Xiaoya, if you like it, you can take it. I heard from the senior brothers of Jiugong Mountain that this Nine Yang Talisman Sword is a relic of our predecessors. However, the descendants were not good enough, so they put it in the shops of Jiugong Mountain to sell. It is a genuine product of Jiugong Mountain."

"Then thank you, Yuan Qi."

Then, Li Yuanqi took out the Turtle Breathing Pill and had the two of them take it.

"Isn't it too early for us to take this pill now?"

"Brother Xiaoya, you have to take it now."

Li Ya looked at Senior Brother Lingji and saw that the other person also nodded.

Senior Brother Lingji explained, "This Turtle Breathing Pill is a life-saving treasure; Golden Drum Cave never sells it."

"If we take the Turtle Breathing Pill now, it will only put us into a state of dormancy. When we suffer a fatal injury that cannot be treated at the time, this pill will take effect and put us into a state of suspended animation, giving us an extra half month to recover."

"What if we're all alone and have entered a state of suspended animation?"

Now Li Yuanqi and Senior Brother Lingji were completely dumbfounded.

"Xie Lingji, is Brother Xiaoya always this sharp-tongued?"

"It's not that poisonous!"

Li Yuanqi was also an easygoing person, and the three of them teased each other.

In the evening, Xu Yuanshan from the Spirit Kitchen personally came and brought a table of fine dinner.

The most favored and valued member of the Li family of Yashan had naturally been informed to the higher-ups of Yunfu Sect long before he came to the sect.

It's both a matter of respect and a form of protection, asking someone to look after things.

The same will happen when the true disciples of Yunfu arrive in the territory of the Li family.

"We're really benefiting from Yuan Qi's generosity. This spiritual meal is a privilege reserved for the sect's elders."

"Stop with all this nonsense. If you still want to eat, can I stay a few more days?"

Xu Yuanshan may be greedy for money, but his skills are truly unparalleled.

In addition, these ingredients are all from spirit beasts freshly killed in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, and after a few bites, waves of heat surge through the body.

"It's not that you don't need to, but the longer you stay, the more time we'll waste on our cultivation. Just sending the gift will suffice."

The entire table of spiritual food was devoured, and apart from Old Liu, the other three had to loosen their belts several times.

"To be honest, the food at your Yunfu Sect is really good. I'm looking forward to the day when you two can eat well on your own without having to rely on me."

These words are harsh, but they come from the heart.

Thank you for your kind words!

……

The three chatted until late at night before parting ways. Li Yuanqi did not stay overnight and left directly.

As Li Yuanqi left the Yunfu Sect's mountain gate, he turned and glanced back.

"I don't have many friends, I hope to see them both again next time I come!"

At this moment, Old Liu leaned his face closer.

"Young Master, the Li Ya of my humble temple possesses a hidden sharpness, his eyes gleaming with a steely light, he is a born swordsman!"

"Oh!" Li Yuanqi was shocked. He had experienced Old Liu's discerning eye firsthand. For him to receive such a high evaluation, this family must really have some skills.

"I never expected that Brother Xiaoya would have the potential to become a sword cultivator!"

Old Liu continued, "When he grasped the Nine Yang Talisman Sword, I clearly saw it clearly. He didn't use any true energy, yet the talisman sword activated on its own. It's truly rare!"

"Then I need to go back and see which of my sisters are still unmarried, and bring him to be the Li family's son-in-law!"

Old Liu sighed, rubbing his forehead. He was glad his young master was born into a good family; if he had been born into an ordinary family, he would have been dead countless times over just because of his mouth.

"What, if you had a daughter, would you marry her off?"

"Marry me! Why wouldn't you marry me?"

There are countless cultivators in the world, but how many are sword cultivators? They are invincible in combat among those of the same realm. Who wouldn't want such a powerful weapon?

"However, this Brother Ya shares the same surname as me, and his handsome appearance is on par with mine. Plus, his name only has the character 'Ya' (崖), and our branch of the family rose to prominence in Yai Mountain!"

"Old Liu, do you think this Brother Ya might be one of our family members who has been living away from home...?"

"illegitimate child……"

"Absolutely impossible!" Old Liu felt a wave of dizziness. This young master could come up with anything.
