24: Chapter 24

"Revered Master, you're too amazing." Mu Wanqing lifted her skirt and jogged into the main hall.

Li Pingan and the other person followed closely behind, excitement visible on all three of their faces.

"You're actually a Golden Core Immortal, and you didn't even tell me, making me worry about you for ages." Mu Wanqing habitually grabbed Chen Xuan's sleeve and began chattering incessantly.

Chen Xuan said helplessly, "If I had told you, wouldn't your little tail be wagging up to the sky?"

Mu Wanqing giggled.

The girl's face was full of pride.

"Revered Master, there are many Cultivators outside the Sect who want to join our Dao Seeking Sect. What should we do now?" Li Pingan asked excitedly.

Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother with them for now. Many people are just acting on a whim. Let them wait for two or three days to filter out those who truly want to join my Dao Seeking Sect, and then conduct an assessment."

"Ah, Revered Master, does our Sect even have assessments?" Mu Wanqing exposed him.

Chen Xuan's face darkened. He pinched her round, oval face: "Hurry up and cultivate! As my Eldest Disciple, your Realm is actually the lowest."

"Aren't you ashamed, Eldest Senior Sister?"

Mu Wanqing immediately took two steps back, rubbed her pinched cheek, and deflected the blame: "You can't blame me for this, Revered Master. Look at what kind of Disciples you've recruited."

Li Pingan grinned, scratching his head shyly.

"I still have a long way to go."

Ye Hao cupped his hands and said, "Revered Master, this Disciple wishes to attempt a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Eighth Layer. I shall take my leave first."

Chen Xuan nodded. My Dao Seeking Sect enterprise needs excellent employees like this. He turned to look at Mu Wanqing beside him: "Look at Ye Hao. His cultivation base is higher than yours, yet he's still more diligent."

Mu Wanqing had no choice but to concede, "I know, I know. I'll just look at you, Revered Master, this Golden Core Immortal, and then go cultivate. I'll strive to Break through to the Golden Core in one go and become the face of Revered Master's Sect."

After sending the two Disciples away, Chen Xuan continued browsing the mall panel.

Now that he had a huge sum of 30,000 sect prestige points, he could spend lavishly.

Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivation base requires 600, Seventh Layer 900, Eighth Layer 1200. Directly purchasing to the Nascent Soul Realm requires a cost of 6,500.

Without much thought, Chen Xuan directly purchased five portions of cultivation base.

[Congratulations Host: Consumed 600 sect prestige points to obtain Golden Core Sixth Layer cultivation base]

[Congratulations Host: ...obtained Golden Core Eighth Layer cultivation base]

[Congratulations...]

[Congratulations Host: Consumed 2,000 sect prestige points to obtain Nascent Soul First Layer cultivation base]

The moment the System prompt ended, the Golden Core inside Chen Xuan's body suddenly shattered, transforming into billions of light points that surged into his Dantian. A massive wave of Spiritual Qi, like a tsunami, washed over his limbs and body, widening his Meridians several times over. Every inch of his flesh and blood emitted a comfortable hum.

A golden, glazed infant slowly opened its eyes inside his body, gradually merging with his Divine Sense.

In that instant, Chen Xuan felt as if the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had become an object in his palm, and even his breathing carried the illusion of controlling the universe.

"Is this the Nascent Soul? I feel like I could punch ten previous versions of myself," Chen Xuan muttered.

Remaining sect prestige points: 22,960!

Hiss~

Why does it feel like I'm not that wealthy after all?

Forget it, I'll draw a round of prizes first.

Ten consecutive draws!

[Congratulations Host: Consumed 100 sect prestige points, obtained luck value +10]

Another ten consecutive draws.

[Congratulations Host: Consumed 100 sect prestige points, obtained luck value +10]

Chen Xuan's face darkened.

[Congratulations Host: Consumed 100 sect prestige points, obtained luck value +10]

I refuse to believe it!

[Congratulations Host... accumulated luck value 63]

A full 500 sect prestige points, and not a single thing dropped? This is too rigged.

Chen Xuan closed the prize draw interface and looked at the other items in the mall.

Immaculate Longevity Pill: Price 10,600. Consumption can increase lifespan by thirty years.

foundation establishment pill: Price 1,000. Consumption can help a Cultivator Break through to Foundation Establishment.

yellow springs rebirth pill: Price 20,000. Consumption can help a Soul entity condense a Physical Body and live a new life.

Intermediate Alchemy Mastery Card: Price 50,000. Usage allows one to become a Ninth-grade Alchemist.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Silk: Price 70,000. Saint Rank Magical Artifact, refined from fragments of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's immortal robes. Can change size and shape at will.

"The variety is truly dazzling!" Chen Xuan thought for a moment, and finally chose to purchase two foundation establishment pills, spending 2,000 sect prestige points.

Ye Hao needs one, and Wanqing should be preparing for Foundation Establishment soon too.

Pingan is still the most worry-free; cultivating the Martial Dao to Godhood means he doesn't need these flashy things at all.

He glanced at the remaining prestige points, 20,460. In just a short while, 10,000 sect prestige points had been spent. Chen Xuan had the illusion that he was shopping on Taobao and couldn't control his hands... Yin Yang Sect!

Four flying boats were gathering Sect Cultivators. All those with a cultivation base of Qi Refining Fifth Layer and above successively boarded the ships.

Sect Master Chu Lianrou swept her Phoenix eyes around, a smile playing on the corner of her lips.

"Earth-rank Divine Ability. If I obtain it, my strength will definitely rise to the next level."

"Sect Master, the people have been assembled. We can depart for the Dao Seeking Sect at any time." The Third Elder cupped his hands and reported.

Chu Lianrou hummed, her voice soft and feminine, "Then let us depart. A mere Dao Seeking Sect dared to kill six of my Yin Yang Sect Elders."

"Do they really think my Yin Yang Sect is a soft persimmon?"

Boom boom boom!

Dark clouds obscured the sun, and the Yin Yang Sect banners flapped loudly. The four flying boats slowly ascended, heading majestically toward the Dao Seeking Sect.

Right at this moment!

The Grand Elder, whose chest was larger than his head, hurried over, swaying: "Sect Master, this is bad! Something major has happened!"

Chu Lianrou frowned slightly: "Why are you so panicked?"

The Grand Elder sighed: "Sect Master, your subordinate just received news that the Po Shan Sect dispatched six flying boats and nearly three thousand Cultivators to attack the Dao Seeking Sect."

Chu Lianrou was stunned and slightly surprised: "Po Shan Sect? Why is that?"

"I heard that the Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect publicly killed an Elder of the Po Shan Sect during the Immortal Ascension Assembly in East Stone Valley. A conflict arose between the two Sects because of this."

Chu Lianrou smiled at the corner of her mouth: "I didn't expect this small Dao Seeking Sect, despite its lack of fame, to have quite a knack for causing trouble. It's one thing to provoke my Yin Yang Sect, but they actually provoked the Po Shan Sect too."

"When you said something major happened, did you mean the Dao Seeking Sect has already been annihilated by the Po Shan Sect?"

She paused, then smiled charmingly: "No matter. Although the Po Shan Sect Revered Master has a Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer cultivation base, one Realm higher than mine, my Yin Yang Sect is backed by the Hegemon-level Force, Joyful Union Sect.

I will go negotiate with the Po Shan Sect Revered Master. At worst, we can exchange Spirit Stones for that Divine Ability."

The Grand Elder whispered, "Sect Master, your subordinate has received news that the Po Shan Sect Revered Master has already Broken through to the Golden Core Realm."

Chu Lianrou's smile abruptly stopped. She turned to look blankly at the Grand Elder, her Phoenix eyes filled with shock: "Is that true?"

The Grand Elder nodded.

"This is troublesome. A Golden Core Mighty Figure... Do we have no choice but to give up on this Earth-rank Divine Ability?" Chu Lianrou's beautiful eyes narrowed, her expression unwilling.

"Damn it! If only my Yin Yang Sect had set off a day earlier, the Earth-rank Divine Ability wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the Po Shan Sect." Chu Lianrou loudly complained. She had spent too much time these past two days inquiring about the location of the Dao Seeking Sect.

There was nothing she could do; the Sect's reputation was simply too small.

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and said, "Sect Master, what your subordinate needs to report is not this matter. That Earth-rank Divine Ability is still within the Dao Seeking Sect."

Chu Lianrou was slightly startled upon hearing this. "What? Did the Po Shan Sect not annihilate the Dao Seeking Sect? That doesn't match their usual style of doing things."

"Sect Master, actually, just a few hours ago, all the Disciples of the Po Shan Sect were wiped out by the Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect alone. The Sect Master of the Dao Seeking Sect is also a Golden Core Expert, and his strength far surpasses that of the Po Shan Sect Revered Master." The Grand Elder said with a serious expression.

"Sect Master, quickly order the boats to stop. That Dao Seeking Sect is not an existence we can afford to provoke."
