219: Token

The numerous objects floating in the air returned to the Storage Pouch.

“Yes, Old Ancestor.”

Zhou Leren’s heart settled, and he responded respectfully.

Taking the Storage Pouch in his hand, Zhou Leren felt a slight heaviness in his heart, and then returned to Jade Moon Peak.

Cultivation Manual Tower, fifth floor.

Zhou Leren extended his hand, and Magic Power appeared, enveloping the square Jade Slip he held.

The Jade Slip, covered in electrical light, floated out, suspended beside the stone pillar, slowly rotating around the glazed stone pillar.

After watching for a moment, Zhou Leren withdrew his gaze, and with a thought, he summoned the Cultivator responsible for guarding the Cultivation Manual Tower, then handed him the dozen or so Jade Slips, instructing him to copy and organize their contents and place them on the first floor of the Cultivation Manual Tower.

After doing all this.

Zhou Leren did not immediately begin refining the peiyu sword.

Firstly, he still needed to collect other precious Materials, but with the Zhou Family’s strength, collecting these auxiliary precious Materials was relatively simple.

Secondly, it was to accompany Jing Ya; after so long in seclusion, the two had very little time together.

Besides Cultivating and assisting with the affairs of the Dao Protection Hall, Jing Ya often went to the current Crescent Moon Sect to find Elder Qingshuang.

It was quite leisurely... Huichuan Prefecture, Xuanqing Mountain.

True Person Gu Li moved extremely fast, returning to the Xuanqing Sect.

With something on his mind, True Person Gu Li did not return to his Immortal Cave but came outside Suqing Peak.

“Old Ancestor, Gu Li requests an audience.”

True Person Gu Li spoke respectfully.

“Enter.”

True Lord Herun’s voice came out, and the Suqing Peak Great Formation opened.

True Person Gu Li flew in.

Arriving inside Suqing Peak.

He found that True Person Qingmu was also there.

“Old Ancestor, Senior Brother.”

True Person Gu Li came beside the two and bowed to them.

“Sit.”

True Lord Herun nodded.

True Person Qingmu, however, rose and returned the bow.

Then both sat down again.

“Old Ancestor, the matter has been handled.”

True Person Gu Li picked up the steaming spiritual tea True Lord Herun handed him, and after thanking him, he spoke.

True Lord Herun nodded, indicating that he already knew.

After speaking, True Person Gu Li then mentioned the arrival of someone from the Wuji Sect.

“That person has already visited our sect.”

True Lord Herun had not yet spoken.

True Person Qingmu replied with a smile.

True Person Gu Li secretly thought that it was indeed so.

True Person Qingmu explained the person’s purpose.

After listening, True Person Gu Li’s face showed a hint of worry.

“No need to worry.”

True Lord Herun smiled freely.

“Senior Brother already has the confidence to Breakthrough to the Middle Nascent Soul Stage.”

True Person Qingmu helped explain.

“Congratulations, Old Ancestor.”

True Person Gu Li was overjoyed upon hearing this, his heart at ease.

True Lord Herun’s heart stirred.

He thought of the message he had received earlier from Mo Xuan.

That Lu Wuming from the Wuji Sect had first gone to the Zhou Family, and only then proceeded to the Xuanqing Sect.

True Lord Herun had been in seclusion deducing Cultivation Technique, and had only recently emerged.

Although he had not yet Broken Through, his cultivation had already made significant progress.

Moreover, the Middle Nascent Soul Stage no longer held any secrets in his eyes.

He only needed to wait a few more months and he could naturally Break Through.

So he, like Mo Xuan, agreed.

Although Mo Xuan did not explicitly state it, True Lord Herun could still infer some things from it.

At that time, with him and Mo Xuan joining forces, they could advance or retreat freely... One month later.

Zhou Leren returned to the fifth floor of the Cultivation Manual Tower.

In his Storage Pouch were various auxiliary precious Materials that had been collected.

He came to the glazed stone pillar and sat down cross-legged.

In Zhou Leren’s mind, the method for refining the peiyu sword appeared.

Lifebound Treasure was quite unique; it required the Cultivator’s mind and vital blood to fuse.

The refining method was also different, so there was no need to rely on others.

After successful refining, it could even be taken into the body and nurtured with Magic Power, thereby ensuring its synchronous improvement with cultivation.

He closed his eyes and concentrated for a long time.

Zhou Leren waved his hand, taking out numerous Materials such as shuiyuan sand (water origin sand), profound iron essence, and bright spirit water.

His Magic Power circulated, and he formed a hand seal, controlling the shuiyuan sand (water origin sand), beginning the refining of the peiyu sword.

Two months passed in a flash.

This day was the day for Zhou Dingyang and Zhou Dingze’s spirit testing plate.

Inside the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall.

Zhou Dingyang, Zhou Dingze, the Zhou Mingjing couple, and over a dozen other Cultivators of the ming generation were watching.

Their grandfather, Zhou Xiuchang, also personally rushed over.

As the pioneers of the Ding Generation, the two felt double the pressure.

After Zhou Leyi paid respects to heaven, earth, and ancestors.

He took out two spirit testing plates inlaid with gems and handed them to the two.

Zhou Dingyang and Zhou Dingze looked very similar, but their personalities were somewhat different.

Zhou Dingyang preferred quietness; although he was a child, a hint of steadiness was already evident, and at this moment, under the gaze of many elders, he could still remain calm.

Zhou Dingze, however, was the complete opposite; he was usually lively and very active, having run through almost every part of Jade Moon Peak, except for the forbidden areas.

Zhou Dingze took a step first, bowed respectfully, and took the spirit testing plate handed by Zhou Leyi.

Zhou Dingyang was unhurried, letting him go first.

“Calm your mind and condense your Qi.”

Zhou Leyi commanded in a deep voice.

The two held the spirit testing plate and obediently calmed their minds.

“Buzz~”

The gems in the spirit testing plate in their hands lit up one by one.

Black and red light emanated from the spirit testing plate in their hands.

“All six gems lit up...”

Zhou Leyi nodded.

Beside them, the watching Members of the Zhou Family also showed joy.

However, one or two people’s expressions were slightly different.

Zhou Leyi took in the scene, his expression unchanged.

With more Family members, even with perfect Family rules, conflicts would still exist among them.

But as long as they didn’t go too far or harm fellow Family members, he would let them be.

“Alright.”

Zhou Leyi spoke, waving his hand to retrieve the spirit testing plate from their hands.

The two sighed in relief, looking at the joy on their parents’ faces.

Even Zhou Dingyang was overjoyed.

“Zhou Dingyang, Water element, talent is upper-middle.”

“Zhou Dingze, Fire element, talent is upper-middle.”

“According to the rules, they may enter the fourth floor of the Cultivation Manual Tower to choose a Legacy to Cultivate.”

Zhou Leyi announced solemnly, his gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces.

As his voice fell, Zhou Leyi waved his hand, and two command tokens formed, floating before the two.

The two reached out and grasped them.

“Thank you, Clan Chief.”

The Zhou Mingjing couple thanked him excitedly.

With these two command tokens, the Zhou Dingyang brothers could go to the fourth floor of the Cultivation Manual Tower to choose a Golden Core Stage Legacy to Cultivate.

Of course, for now, they could only receive the Qi Refining Chapter.

Only when they reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, at the time of advancement, would they receive the contents of the Foundation Establishment Chapter.

Those with low-grade talent can choose a first-tier Magic Technique to Cultivate on the second floor; those with four to five-star middle-grade talent can enter the third floor to choose a first or second-tier Magic Technique; those with six-star upper-middle-grade talent can choose a third-tier classic to Cultivate on the fourth floor.

Those with high-grade talent can enter the fifth floor to Cultivate fourth-tier Cultivation Technique.

These rules were set.

The purpose was to balance Cultivation speed and difficulty.

The higher the grade, the more profound the content, and the more abundant the accumulation of Magic Power.

If one’s talent was insufficient, Cultivating more profound Cultivation Technique would result in slower progress.

Of course, this was just the initial rule; if one Cultivated a first-tier Cultivation Technique to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, when Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, they would naturally be given a second-tier Cultivation Technique.

Alternatively, one could also choose to replace it using Family contribution points.
