Chapter 279: Chapter 278 Two Orifices of Heaven and Earth (Please Subscribe) After a few minutes, several figures flew over from afar, quickly approaching without any pause, and directly entered the backyard of the Enlightenment Pavilion. "Immortal Master Zhang Zhaohua from the Internal Affairs Hall of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, Immortal Master Ma Chengfu from the Inheritance Hall, Immortal Master Zhu Shuizhen... What exactly happened here?" Outside the Enlightenment Pavilion, Old Cao and the others looked on in amazement at the rapidly disappearing figures, all appearing shocked. "A first-class talent? Is it possible that the person possesses a first-class talent?" "I reckon it’s more than just a first-class talent. Remember the last time someone was detected with a first-class talent, it was only Immortal Master Zhang Shaohua from the Internal Affairs Hall who showed up in the Sunrise Daoist Sect. This time, there are three Enlightenment Immortal Masters present." ... *Their thoughts were in turmoil as they speculated about the situation inside.* "Manager Zhang, Immortal Master Ma, Immortal Master Zhu..." Seeing the three figures landing in the courtyard, Li Quan’s expression changed; he quickly stepped forward, greeting them respectfully. "Greetings to the three Immortal Masters!" Bai Ziyue was also taken aback, bowing his hands in respect as he spoke. *He was envious of the Enlightenment Immortal Masters, who could wield Spirit Treasures and soar through the skies. Even though they still relied on external forces, it was something beyond his reach.* *In comparison, Innate Martial Artists were far from achieving such feats and had far fewer means at their disposal. Though said to be on par with Enlightenment Immortal Masters, the gap between them had started to widen.* *In the Cultivation Realm, it was rare for Innate Martial Artists to surpass Enlightenment Immortal Masters.* "Is this the one you said possesses a superlative talent, Gold Attribute Celestial Spirit Root, and Innate Dao Body?" The others ignored Li Quan and nodded slightly at Bai Ziyue before turning their attention to the young girl, Zhao Yue’er. Seeing Li Quan nod, they wasted no time and began the test once more. As the golden light and the purple qi, symbolizing innate nobility, rose from Zhao Yue’er’s body, everyone’s eyes immediately became fervent. "Zhao Yue’er, are you willing to accept me as your master?" Ma Chengfu smiled warmly at Zhao Yue’er, his expression quite amiable. "Come to sister, and I’ll teach you how to cultivate immortality. Would you like that?" Beside them, Zhu Shuizhen, unwilling to be outdone, spoke with a kindly face. Zhao Yue’er, with a timid look on her face, hid beside Bai Ziyue, clutching his hand tightly. "Calling yourself sister? You’re already over a hundred years old." Ma Chengfu retorted from the side, then turned to Bai Ziyue, saying, "Fellow Daoist Bai, your sister’s talent is truly exceptional. But even with great talent, without a good mentor to guide and instruct her, errors are easy to make, and she could end up taking many detours, wasting precious time. Moreover, the most important thing is that her life could be at risk. Many people would be unwilling to see a genius grow up. I think you understand what I mean. Therefore, I believe it is very necessary for your sister to find a master. And I am the best choice. With my Immortal Technique Realm at the Mid-stage Enlightenment Realm, and my ancestor being Ma Daokun, the Second Elder of the Sunrise Daoist Sect, at the Peak of the Enlightenment Realm. He can sufficiently protect her as she grows." "I’m at the Late-stage Enlightenment Realm, which is much stronger than you. As for protection? I believe with my strength, Zhu Shuizhen, no one would dare target my disciple." Zhu Shuizhen snorted coldly as she spoke. Immortal Master Zhang Shaohua from the Internal Affairs Hall smiled gently without saying a word; regardless of who Zhao Yue’er eventually chose as her master, he had already extended his kindness, which naturally made him appear calm. "Big brother, don’t you want me anymore?" The little girl Zhao Yue’er seemed to sense something and lifted her head to look at Bai Ziyue, tearfully speaking. "How could I?" Bai Ziyue was slightly startled, not having realized how much she had come to rely on him. *His mindset couldn’t help but shift a little as he turned to Ma Chengfu and the others, saying,* "Whether or not to take a master, and who to choose as a master, all of this should depend on Little Yue’er’s own wishes. If she doesn’t wish to, I won’t force her." He had confidence while saying this. Indeed, as Ma Chengfu mentioned, having a master could help avoid many detours. If it weren’t for his Attribute Panel that allowed for direct enhancement, his cultivation journey wouldn’t have been so smooth. But he himself could also be a good teacher and provide guidance. Regarding his understanding of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique, he estimated that even the Sect Leader of the Sunrise Daoist Sect might not comprehend it as deeply as he did. As for protection, below the Enlightenment Realm, he was completely unafraid. Above the Enlightenment Realm, he believed he wouldn’t be entirely defenseless and could sufficiently protect Zhao Yue’er to some extent. "Fellow Daoist Bai, I think it would be best for you to think it over carefully. At your Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation in Immortal Technique Realm, you must have begun considering the breakthrough to the Enlightenment Realm, right? The Barrier-Breaking Pill and Enlightenment Pill together require forty thousand Good Deeds points. Unless a sudden enlightenment allows you to sense the Heaven and Earth Acupoints, the only way to break through is to exchange for these two Spirit Pills, which might make success possible. Forty thousand Good Deeds points, even if a Ninth Layer Qi Refinement Cultivator worked tirelessly to accumulate them, it would take ten years. If there’s another burden added, the time required would be even longer. Though disciples with a Celestial Spirit Root needed relatively few resources for cultivation, Immortal Technique training was not just cultivation; it required a Magical Artifact, mastering one or two Immortal Techniques... Over ten years, at least twenty thousand points of Good Deeds resources would be consumed. Not to mention, even if you had Good Deeds, you might not necessarily be able to exchange for these two Spirit Pills. The Barrier-Breaking Pill was unified for refinement once every three years, and the Enlightenment Pill was even once every five. With your experience, Fellow Daoist Bai, you would need to wait for at least three to five cycles, which means nine to fifteen years, just to exchange for both types of Spirit Pills. Calculating it this way, you would need at least twenty years to break through the realm and become an Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master." He paused slightly, seeming to wait for Bai Ziyue to digest the meaning of his words, then continued, "However, if your sister could become my apprentice, although I wouldn’t directly give you forty thousand points of Good Deeds, I could provide you some assistance, at least halving your time to accumulate Good Deeds, and furthermore, leverage the influence of my Ma Family to get you priority in exchanging for the Barrier-Breaking Pill and the Enlightenment Pill earlier. "So, you would only need a maximum of ten years to break through and calmly achieve enlightenment. This arrangement benefits you, me, and Zhao Yue’er immensely. Additionally, once Zhao Yue’er becomes my apprentice, I would naturally provide her cultivation resources, so you needn’t worry." It was precisely because he saw through Bai Ziyue’s thoughts that he carefully analyzed, hoping to dissuade him indirectly. "What Senior Brother Ma says is highly reasonable. Although I seem to have it easy now, when I broke through from the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation to the Enlightenment Realm, it took me a full fifteen years of preparation to truly exchange for the two major Spirit Pills. This was due to my childhood in the Sunrise Daoist Sect, along with my father’s five thousand points of Good Deeds accumulated for me. The hardships involved are vividly remembered even now." Zhang Shaohua, who was nearby, also advised. "Big Sister, can you help my brother exchange for those two Spirit Pills to break through within ten years?" At this moment, the little girl Zhao Yue’er suddenly walked up to Zhu Shuizhen and asked with a serious look. "Of course, and moreover, I could lend him ten thousand points of Good Deeds to save one or two years in accumulating Good Deeds." Zhu Shuizhen was slightly startled but quickly responded, hurriedly speaking. "Then I’ll become your apprentice." Zhao Yue’er said seriously, with a straight face. "Why though? I could lend ten thousand Good Deeds too." Ma Chengfu looked shocked and asked, unable to comprehend. "You threatened my brother." Zhao Yue’er said seriously. "You really are..." Ma Chengfu opened his mouth, his face immediately darkening as he glanced at Zhu Shuizhen and said, "Farewell!" As he spoke, a small sword emerged from him, landed at his feet, with a gentle leap, quickly soared into the sky, and disappeared. "Is it truly necessary? While Enlightenment is difficult, it’s not impossible; it doesn’t require sacrificing you for fulfillment." Bai Ziyue patted Zhao Yue’er’s head and then looked at Zhu Shuizhen, saying, "Immortal Master Zhu, apologies, but my sister likely cannot become your apprentice. I do not wish to make her future a mere transaction." "But isn’t this the best choice for her? Regarding the transaction, I think you shouldn’t view it this way. If Zhao Yue’er becomes my disciple, I become your kin, and a bit of help is merely people doing favors for each other. Why be so rigid? Besides, this is Zhao Yue’er’s own choice." Zhu Shuizhen frowned and said. "I’ve been inconsiderate." Bai Ziyue’s gaze sharpened; after a brief contemplation, he looked at Zhao Yue’er and asked, "I’ll ask you once finally, do you truly wish to become Immortal Master Zhu’s apprentice?" "I do." Zhao Yue’er glanced unwillingly at Bai Ziyue and said. "Ha, everyone’s satisfied. Just right, I’ll help you register, distribute tokens and officially become disciples of the Sunrise Daoist Sect today." Seeing this, Zhang Shaohua laughed heartily, immediately took out a Magical Artifact resembling a Flying Shuttle, tapped lightly, and the Flying Shuttle expanded swiftly in the wind. "Come on, I’ll take you up the mountain." Seeing such, Bai Ziyue did not hesitate, dragged Zhao Yue’er, and jumped on. Because he had already seen Yuu Yang’s Purple Wood Universe Shuttle, he wasn’t overly surprised by this Flying Shuttle. Zhu Shuizhen pondered for a moment, then also stepped aboard, saying with a smile, "Today, I’m troubling Fellow Daoist to escort me up the mountain." "Immortal Master Zhu, I wonder what Immortal Master Ma mentioned earlier about the Heaven and Earth Acupoints—what are they?" After a period of silence, Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but ask. He was exceedingly curious about what Ma Chengfu had mentioned regarding the Heaven and Earth Acupoints earlier. Instinctively, he felt this was the crucial point of breaking through to the Enlightenment Realm. "It seems Fellow Daoist Bai truly hails from Loose Cultivation; without guidance from predecessors, such matters would indeed puzzle you." Zhu Shuizhen sighed and continued, "Enlightenment, enlightenment—the very goal is to open these Heaven and Earth Acupoints. Regardless if it is the Barrier-Breaking Pill or the Enlightenment Pill, in essence, both help cultivators sense these two acupoints, thereby breaking obstacles and transcending realms."
