9: Shentong Pavilion

Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Li Pingan.

"This 'Divine Profound Mountain Shaking Art' is a martial Cultivation Technique. It is only suitable for those with the Heaven-Loathing Divine Body. Once practiced to the Major Achievement Realm, one can become a martial god with an indestructible Physical Body."

"Spells and divine abilities hitting your body will feel like a mere itch, and a single punch can kill an Earthbound Immortal."

Li Pingan was incredibly excited and knelt down without hesitation to kowtow to Chen Xuan.

"This Disciple thanks Revered Master!"

He tightly gripped the Cultivation Technique in his hands. Finally, he finally saw the hope for revenge.

Li Pingan calmed his excitement and asked, "Revered Master, I wonder how many hours of Sect missions our Dao Seeking Sect requires per day? Can we really Cultivate for six hours a day?"

Ye Hao also restrained his joyful expression and listened intently.

Chen Xuan coughed: "The Sect has no missions for you to do for the time being. You can use the entire day for cultivation."

Cultivate relentlessly! The harder you work, the wealthier I, your Revered Master, will become.

Li Pingan was stunned. Being able to Cultivate for six hours a day was already enough to make him ecstatic.

He never expected that Revered Master would actually allow him to use the entire day for cultivation.

One must know that in a famous second-rate power like the Po Shan Sect, Inner Sect Disciples were only rewarded with two hours of cultivation time per day.

The rest of the time had to be spent on Sect missions to provide value to the Sect.

Cultivation Sects were not places to raise idle people. If one couldn't create value for the Sect, the Sect would discard them without hesitation.

In a Sect, only five percent of the people could Cultivate as they pleased; everyone else had to make corresponding contributions based on their status.

Utility Disciples grew Spiritual Plants and nurtured Spirit Medicines. Outer Sect Disciples took shifts at the mountain gate and collected spiritual ores. Inner Sect Disciples refined Medicinal Pills and Magical Artifacts. These were all common knowledge in the Cultivation World.

Li Pingan stared at his Revered Master on the seat above, who looked like a banished Immortal.

Only one thought remained in his mind: for the rest of his life, he must obey his Revered Master's orders!

Chen Xuan was unaware of his Disciple's mental activity. He waved his hand and said, "If there's nothing else, go down and Cultivate."

"Yes, Revered Master!"

The three of them bowed and departed one after another!

After the Disciples left, Chen Xuan opened the Apprentice Recruitment Gift Pack rewarded by the System.

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: block card *5, Spirit Transformation Experience Card *1, instant kill card *1, 100 sect prestige points.]

After buying a bottle of Nourishing Origin Pills, he had 190 reputation points left.

He had obtained two sect construction cards. One was the Divine Ability Pavilion, which collected various Heaven Rank and even God Rank spells and divine abilities. The other was the immortal grade spirit vein, which could provide an immortal grade spirit vein stretching for a thousand miles.

Chen Xuan used them without hesitation. The stronger the Disciples, the stronger he became. There was nothing to hesitate about regarding such item cards that helped Disciples Cultivate.

Boom!

As the immortal grade spirit vein merged into the Sect's mountain peak, the entire Dao Seeking Sect couldn't help but shake.

Immediately, Spiritual Qi as thick as water rushed toward him.

This caused the density of Spiritual Qi in the entire Sect to expand tenfold... no, more than a hundredfold.

Inside the hall!

Chen Xuan straightened his robes and solemnly called up the System panel.

Glancing at the 190 sect prestige points, he said calmly, "System, gacha! A ten-pull directly."

[Congratulations to the Host for consuming 10 sect prestige points and obtaining luck value +1]

[Congratulations to the Host for consuming 10 sect prestige points and obtaining luck value +1]

[Congratulations... luck value +1]

...A series of prompts left Chen Xuan feeling numb.

What the hell are you congratulating me for!

If he had known it would be this unlucky, Chen Xuan wouldn't have done the gacha.

Could it be that this was paying the balance for the Samsara Heavenly Dao Eye?

Looking at the remaining 90 sect prestige points, Chen Xuan chose to purchase the Second Layer of Golden Core Stage cultivation base without hesitation.

[Congratulations to the Host for consuming 50 sect prestige points and obtaining the Second Layer of Golden Core Stage cultivation base]

The moment the System prompt ended, Chen Xuan felt the surrounding Spiritual Qi find an outlet and surge toward him frantically.

His cultivation base was like taking a high-speed train, rising directly from the first layer of Golden Core to the Second Layer of Golden Core Stage.

"Hmm, as expected, buying cultivation base is more practical."

Chen Xuan looked at the remaining 40 reputation points and then at the mall.

No, today's luck is poor! I must control myself... Mu Wanqing and the other two, who had just left the hall, were stunned for a moment.

"What was that noise?"

All three had felt the vibration just now and turned back to look at their Sect.

Then, Li Pingan and Ye Hao's eyes widened again.

They saw a grand building had appeared on the side of the Sect Main Hall at some unknown time. A pavilion seemed to rise from the ground straight into the sky, piercing the firmament like an ancient divine temple.

On the pavilion were written the three words "Divine Ability Pavilion".

Ye Hao and the other looked at each other, both seeing the bewilderment on each other's faces. They both swallowed and asked with trembling voices:

"Senior Sister, this is???"

Mu Wanqing lowered the hand covering her small mouth and patted her chest, saying, "Don't be so startled. It should be Revered Master's doing."

"By the way, did you two feel that the Spiritual Qi in the Sect suddenly became much denser? I feel like I only need one hour to Breakthrough to the Qi Refining Second Layer."

Ye Hao nodded: "I feel it too. Could this also be Revered Master's doing?"

In an instant, Ye Hao's admiration for Chen Xuan soared to its peak.

Mu Wanqing raised her head and said with a proud face, "Of course. Besides Revered Master, who else has this ability?" Her beautiful eyes glanced at Li Pingan and asked:

"Second Junior Brother, what about you? What do you think of this dense Spiritual Qi?"

Li Pingan: "???"

"Senior Sister, I have the Heaven-Loathing Divine Body; I can't feel Spiritual Qi."

"This..." Mu Wanqing smiled awkwardly.

Ye Hao changed the subject: "Let's hurry and Cultivate. Let's not let down Revered Master's painstaking efforts for us."

Mu Wanqing hummed in agreement: "Let's go take a look at the Divine Ability Pavilion."

The two Junior Brothers had no objection. They were both intensely curious about this grand building that had suddenly appeared.

With Revered Master's abilities, he wondered if there would be those legendary Earth Rank Divine Abilities. Although Ye Hao felt the hope was slim, he couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

Back when he was the Young Lord of the Ye Family, the Ye Family's Clan Treasure was a Low Grade Earth-rank Divine Ability.

The Clan Chief was supposed to pass it to him once he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, but unfortunately, things changed.

He estimated that the Earth-rank Divine Ability had already been given to that bitch Ye Jing.

Soon.

The three of them arrived at the foot of the Divine Ability Pavilion. The doors opened automatically. They took a deep breath and stepped across the carved threshold into it.

Inside the Divine Ability Pavilion, countless Jade Slips were suspended in mid-air like stars, with runes flowing upon them. It even seemed as if the sounds of dragons and phoenixes were emanating from the radiance.

"The three of you, step onto the circular platform ahead in turn. I will select suitable divine abilities for you."

Before the three could recover from their daze, a voice reached their ears.

"Who? Who's speaking?"

Ye Hao immediately became alert, while Mu Wanqing and the other looked around.

"No need to be nervous. I am the Spirit Guardian of the Divine Ability Pavilion. I am responsible for selecting divine abilities for the Disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect. If you wish to choose for yourselves, you may do so as you please."

The three of them gasped upon hearing this.

This Divine Ability Pavilion actually has a Spirit Guardian? This is unheard of!

"May I ask Senior Spirit Guardian, are there any Earth Rank Divine Abilities in here?"
