155: Pinghe Town

Thus, the master and disciple tentatively settled the matter.

Spiritual Crane Taoist founded Immortal Crane Sect, becoming its sect master and responsible for establishing the sect.

Lin Zifeng, on the other hand, would go out for experience, simultaneously “making a name” for Immortal Crane Sect, and also collecting resources to expand the sect.

Of course, Spiritual Crane Taoist wouldn't be idle either, as he was the master after all.

Although Immortal Crane Sect was newly established and couldn't compare to many sects or even some small cultivation families, it was like countless other “sects,” built up slowly from nothing to something, from small to large.

It was just like starting a business.

Lin Zifeng unintentionally noticed that his source points had increased by 2.08 million!

“My source points have increased so much!” Lin Zifeng was a bit surprised, but looking at his 2.08 million source points, he checked his panel and decisively chose to upgrade his two talents:

Cultivation Genius (costing 1 million source points) → Cultivation Genius II (upgrade requires 10 million source points)

Innate Divine Power (costing 1 million source points) → Innate Divine Power II (upgrade requires 10 million source points)

His source points were now down to just over 80,000.

Lin Zifeng felt himself growing stronger.

Innate Divine Power was quite suitable for him, as he had always intended to follow the path of a body cultivator, with body cultivation as primary and profound cultivation as secondary.

White Crane Taoist also followed this path, and as his inheritor, Lin Zifeng naturally followed the same path.

Moreover, White Crane Fist itself was a cultivation method that integrated body refinement, fist techniques, and movement techniques.

“But to upgrade White Crane Fist...” Lin Zifeng checked and saw that 1 million source points were needed to upgrade White Crane Fist.

Spirit Crane Skill could also be upgraded, but it required 100 million source points, which was a bit much...

However, Lin Zifeng felt the difference between Spirit Crane Skill and the previous White Crane Skill was at least five times greater, so it was normal for it to require so many source points to upgrade to a higher level!

Lin Zifeng was not in a hurry to leave the mountain; instead, he planned to break through first.

He, who could break through at any time, calmly cultivated today and directly broke through to Foundation Establishment Fourth Realm - Qi Condensation.

After consolidating his cultivation, Lin Zifeng found that his profound qi was a bit excessive... He then realized it was due to his Innate Mysterious Body physique.

For the next half month, Lin Zifeng diligently cultivated, and his cultivation progressed rapidly, quickly reaching the Mind-Illumination Realm.

Mind-Illumination means thoughts are clear, directly pointing to one's true heart, and determining one's path.

This realm sounds easy, but it has stumped many people.

It's not just about setting a goal; it's a realm that severely tests one's “heart.”

However, once determined, it becomes very easy to break through directly.

The rest is to continuously increase one's profound qi, communicate with Heaven and Earth through one's mind, open the Bridge of Heaven and Earth between humans and nature, and enter the Tianqiao Realm.

This step has held back countless people even more.

Of course, after reaching the Qi Condensation Realm, one's profound qi can continuously increase through cultivation, but after the Tianqiao Realm, one can use one part of their own profound qi to drive ten parts of Heaven and Earth profound qi for combat.

Cultivation will even be faster.

They are complementary.

Therefore, the difference between not breaking through Tianqiao and breaking through Tianqiao is dozens of times.

Over the past half month, Lin Zifeng also helped Spiritual Crane Taoist construct the mountain gate.

Today, Lin Zifeng officially left the mountain! Before his departure, the main hall of Immortal Crane Sect was initially completed, and the mountain gate was also erected.

And the nameless mountain range where they were located, of course, was now called “Immortal Spirit Mountain Range” by Spiritual Crane Taoist and Lin Zifeng.

The mountain where their “home” was located within the mountain range was called “Immortal Crane Mountain,” and they even erected a mountain tablet with the name “Immortal Crane Mountain” on it.

Upon reaching Immortal Crane Mountain, one could see the mountain gate of Immortal Crane Sect. The paths up and down the mountain had also been built.

It must be said that cultivators work extremely fast.

Although Spiritual Crane Taoist primarily cultivated White Crane Fist, he also knew some other spells, but they were all conventional spells for convenience in daily life, which Lin Zifeng also understood.

Even these rudimentary applications of profound qi, forming rudimentary spells, were not recorded on the system panel.

“Whoosh!” Lin Zifeng stepped out of the great mountain.

He officially entered the outside world!

From the mundane world, entering the deep mountains to cultivate, and then leaving the mountains to return to the mundane world.

“I, Lin Zifeng, am here!” Lin Zifeng shouted excitedly!

A nearby merchant caravan heard Lin Zifeng's shout and all tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy, thinking some “bandits” had arrived.

Lin Zifeng carried the “family fortune” given by Spiritual Crane Taoist: 30 low-grade profound stones.

Hmm, that was it.

This was all of Immortal Crane Sect's assets.

Originally, Lin Zifeng didn't want them, as his system's store could exchange for many resources, although the source points required were a bit high.

He thought that he would go out to earn regular resources, and then when he returned, he would use source points to exchange for various rare resources to fill Immortal Crane Sect's sect treasury!

Everything was just beginning, and Lin Zifeng, as a Foundation Establishment Fifth Realm - Mind-Illumination Realm cultivator, was naturally cannon fodder in the cultivation world.

However, if he didn't stir up trouble, generally speaking, he was still considered acceptable.

If Lin Zifeng broke through to Heavenly Bridge, he could be considered a true cultivator, one who had “crossed the threshold.”

Lin Zifeng arrived at a town dozens of kilometers away; this was the closest town to Immortal Crane Sect.

The town was not very large, with a population of approximately seventy to eighty thousand people.

The Ling Jue Realm is an incredibly vast world, with an extremely large population, incredibly abundant resources, and extremely ample Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, as it is a Level 4 world after all.

This town was called Peaceful Town. Its name was quite ordinary.

Lin Zifeng walked on the street.

“Recently, there have been some demon beasts appearing. I wonder if the town master has asked those immortals for help!”

“I don't know! More than a dozen people have died! I'm afraid that demon beast might even come into the town!”

“Exactly! Seven or eight days have passed, and there's still no news. So many people have died already!”

Lin Zifeng walked down the street, hearing these discussions, which seemed to be related to demon beasts. He turned his head and coincidentally, there was a tea shop, or rather, a teahouse, nearby.

The customers at the tables near the edge of the second floor were discussing this, and Lin Zifeng overheard them.

After all, as a cultivator and a body cultivator, Lin Zifeng's five senses were extraordinary, and he “accidentally” overheard them.

“Demon beasts, huh...” Lin Zifeng pondered for a moment, intending to inquire about this matter.

If Lin Zifeng remembered correctly, Peaceful Town should be located within the sphere of influence of a sect called Golden Saber Sect.

So, if this town needed cultivators, they should go to Golden Saber Sect...

Golden Saber Sect is a small sect.

Sects are also graded, initially divided into: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, and Super Large.

Of course, Immortal Crane Sect, at most, would be Micro.

The criteria for judgment are also very direct: the number of people is sequentially: over ten, over a hundred, over a thousand, over ten thousand, over one hundred thousand.

And there are also regulations for the cultivation of the sect master or the strongest person in the sect, sequentially: Heavenly Bridge, Divine Charm, Eight Extremes, Dao Treasury, Nirvana
