Chapter 280: Chapter 279: Promotion (Please Subscribe) “The Heaven and Earth Acupoints, connecting through the cosmos, had no fixed location. Although they resided within a cultivator’s body, their specific positions were unique to each person. Even if one’s cultivation reached the pinnacle like the Sect Leader, achieving a state of divine comprehension, it was challenging to aid others in opening these two acupoints. In truth, neither the Barrier-Breaking Pill nor the Enlightenment Pill guaranteed a certainty of success. They merely increased a cultivator’s chance of perceiving these two acupoints. *Everything depended on one’s self to comprehend and perceive.* *If you could by your own abilities directly sense these two acupoints, the barrier between the Qi Refinement Stage and the Enlightenment Realm would be effortlessly removed,* and at that time, even without any spirit pills, you would naturally break through the realm, becoming an Enlightenment Realm Cultivator.” Zhu Shuizhen said once more. “Thank you, Immortal Master Zhu, for the clarification.” Bai Ziyue realized, quickly expressing his sincere gratitude. “The dog, the dog forgot.” At this moment, Zhao Yue’er looked at Bai Ziyue and spoke up. “Little Hai!” Bai Ziyue was startled, quickly calling out loudly. Awoo! An excited howl rang out, then the little black dog turned into a shadowy figure of black, swiftly darted over, and jumped onto the Flying Shuttle. In response, Zhang Shaohua merely shrugged it off, saying, “Rise,” as the Flying Shuttle immediately ascended. After reaching several yards high, it flashed with spirit light and headed towards the mountain gate of the Sunrise Daoist Sect. ... “What could be going on inside?” At the entrance, Old Cao and the others prowled around, eager to understand why there had been a series of appearances by three Immortal Masters. “Look, that’s Immortal Master Zhang’s Flying Shuttle.” Suddenly, an astonished voice called out. “On the Flying Shuttle, there’s also Immortal Master Zhu, and that man, that girl, and that dog... What on earth is his identity to warrant Immortal Master Zhang personally piloting the Flying Shuttle to escort them to the Sunrise Daoist Sect’s mountain gate?” “Could he be the descendant of some elder?” “Couldn’t it be his extraordinary talent, reaching the first rank?” “Steward Li has come out...” They were discussing among themselves when, at the sight of Li Quan strolling out leisurely, they all fell silent and, almost simultaneously, directed their gaze towards Old Cao. After all, his curiosity was the most intense. If others didn’t ask, he would not withstand the urge in the end. As expected, Old Cao hesitated slightly, but soon he boldly approached, plastering a smile on his face, and asked, “Um, Steward Li, in that test just now, which rank was he?” “What does it matter to you which rank it is?” “I’m just curious, aren’t I?” Old Cao rubbed his shiny bald head, chuckling as he spoke. “The Internal Affairs Hall’s Immortal Master Zhang personally came over, what do you think?” Li Quan raised his eyes, speaking up. As for Zhao Yue’er’s matter, he naturally dared not reveal it casually. “First rank?” Old Cao’s eyes widened instantly. Seeing Steward Li’s enigmatic smile, he became even more convinced. He had vaguely overheard earlier that person admitting to being at the Ninth Layer of the Qi Refinement Stage in the Immortal Technique Realm themselves. Coupling that with their youthful appearance, if not for their astonishing talent, how could they achieve such feats? Others who approached fell into a daze as well, each showing expressions of admiration. For them, merely possessing Immortal Technique aptitude was enough to stir envy. On this basis, one could directly join the Sunrise Daoist Sect, becoming a legitimate disciple. Whether in cultivating Immortal Techniques or Martial Arts, it would be much more convenient than their current situation. Possessing first-rank aptitude was beyond what they could even fantasize about. ... The Flying Shuttle pierced through the sky, distant yet near, rapidly approaching the Sunrise Daoist Sect. An endless mist gradually thinned as the Flying Shuttle neared. A layer of Array Dao aura rippled gently, then, upon sensing Zhang Shaohua’s Identity Token, promptly opened a passageway, allowing the Flying Shuttle to pass. “This is our Sunrise Daoist Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, the Earth Pole Magnetic Divine Light Array, a solid Third-Grade High-tier Array. Don’t even mention Enlightenment Immortal Masters; even Divine Realm Masters wouldn’t dare behave recklessly here.” Zhang Shaohua explained, as the Flying Shuttle’s speed naturally slowed. A colossal peak ascended skyward, with palaces, towering spires, and steep mountains scattered about, alongside soaring Immortal Cranes and abundant spiritual qi combining into a scene of an Immortal Family. Bai Ziyue felt a surge within his heart, overwhelmed by a sense of seeing grand visions. Soon, the Flying Shuttle landed before a massive palace, with countless disciples of the Sunrise Daoist Sect hurrying by. There were also martial practitioners without the aura of Immortal Techniques, humbly passing through. Upon seeing Zhang Shaohua and Zhu Shuizhen, they all greeted quietly. Registration, documentation, Identity Token issuance, and finally, housing assignment... After a series of processes, that night, Bai Ziyue stayed at a mountain peak named Luoxia Peak, which was twenty miles away from the main peak of the Sunrise Daoist Sect. Although the place was somewhat remote, it was still within the range of the Earth Pole Magnetic Divine Light Array, and the overall spiritual energy was quite abundant. After all, being close to the third-grade spirit meridian of Sunrise Peak, the degree of spiritual energy abundance far surpassed the Dongxuan Market where he had stayed before, reaching a level comparable to a first-grade spirit meridian. Within Luoxia Peak, there were many caves previously established by others. Due to Zhang Shaohua’s special kindness, the cave Bai Ziyue had chosen was not only spacious and comfortable, but there were also three acres of spirit field not far in front of the cave, now counted as his assets. The cave came equipped with a level 2 array, the Golden Light Mountain Protection Array, a level 1 array, the Spirit Lock Array, and a level 1 array, the Warning Array, all considered quite practical arrays. Surrounding the three acres of spirit field was also a Spring Thunder Rain Array, which could enhance the growth of the spiritual materials planted within the spirit field. Untouched for decades, the three acres of spirit field had naturally become overgrown, with lush weeds spreading up to over two meters high. Bai Ziyue didn’t pay too much attention to these. Zhao Yue’er had already left with her mentor, Zhu Shuizhen. After sending off Zhang Shaohua, he directly entered the cave. The Little Black Dog followed by his side, soon finding a comfortable spot to lay down. This place, full of spiritual energy, was more beneficial for it, its dog face full of cheer. Bai Ziyue took a turn inside the cave, feeling even more satisfied. The previous owner of this cave was evidently particular, not only having set up a cultivation quiet chamber inside but also sectioning off an alchemy room, an artifact refining room, a utility room... saving him the trouble of having to open them himself. “After nearly two months of running about, I finally arrived at this Sunrise Daoist Sect and settled down.” Bai Ziyue went to the cultivation quiet chamber, took a deep breath, and finally felt relaxed. Traveling all the way, spanning thousands of miles, crossing most of the territories of two countries, he had also encountered several dangers, which, upon slight reflection, were fresh in his memory, making him emotional. “The subsequent cultivation technique of the Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique is not urgent right now. What truly troubles me is the bottleneck between the Qi Refinement Stage and the Enlightenment Realm. The cultivation progress of the Five Directions Pure Essence Skill has reached 97% of the uninitiated stage, and it is estimated that after some more time, I will officially reach the entry level. As for the Barrier-Breaking Pill and Enlightenment Pill, although I have some understanding, not to mention the difficulty of exchanging them, just the good deeds required to exchange for these two spirit pills are not a small amount. It seems, my previous concerns were not unfounded. Compared to accumulating good deeds to exchange, it is indeed more feasible to rely on myself, learn alchemy, collect materials myself, and refine the Enlightenment Pill myself.” Bai Ziyue pondered silently and quickly made a decision. *Sudden enlightenment and sensing the ethereal Heaven and Earth Acupoints was indeed something he yearned for, but he knew they were inevitably elusive. Many people spend their lives without such opportunities, and he didn’t believe he would necessarily have them.* *Moreover, even if he was to have it, when would it come?* *In a year, ten years, or a hundred years?* *He could not afford to wait.* So he decided to take a pragmatic approach. However, even taking a pragmatic approach, as Ma Chengfu said, following procedures step by step to complete tasks and accumulate good deeds was not his choice either. According to what the other party said, it would take ten years, which was too long for him; he couldn’t afford it. So from the beginning, he planned to take the path of alchemy. Not only because he already had the pill formula for the Enlightenment Pill but also because he believed that, with the attribute panel, he would certainly be able to quickly enhance his alchemist level. One must know using an alchemist’s methods to earn good deeds would be far faster than ordinary Immortal Cultivators. Thinking of this, he immediately focused his attention on the Attribute Panel once again. Name: Bai Ziyue Martial Arts Realm: Early-stage Innate Realm Immortal Technique Realm: Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation Realm Perfection Martial Arts: Invincible Golden Body Technique, Nine-Turns Innate Technique Uninitiated (23%) Martial Arts: Godslaying Saber Technique Perfection, Immortal Martial Hand Seal Entry Level (1%)... Immortal Technique: Purple Qi Divine Observation Technique Ninth Layer, Five Directions Pure Essence Skill Uninitiated (97%), Immortal Martial True Body Uninitiated (0%) Technique: Perfect Talisman Technique, Magic: Ice Flame Technique Perfection (Dharma Instinct), Perfect Shocking God Stab, Thunderfall Technique Perfection, Sunrise Swordsmanship Perfection, Hundred-Step Wave-Treading Skill Perfection, Treasure-Setting Divine Light Uninitiated (36%)... Soul Energy: 1,715,123 “The amount of Soul Energy has reached 1,715,000 points, increasing by nearly 300,000 points compared to before.” Bai Ziyue’s eyes lit up. The gains from the trip to Yunmiao Mountain Swamp turned out to be even greater than he had imagined. Although these 300,000 points were not all acquired in the swamp, the feeling of being able to increase Soul Energy at any moment while staying there really made him immensely comfortable. “However, the most important thing is that the Immortal Martial Hand Seal finally reached the entry level. Anyway, there was an ample amount of Soul Energy, just the right time to upgrade it for once, upgrading it to perfection level.” Bai Ziyue valued this Immortal Martial Sect’s secret skill exceptionally; he had been diligently practicing without respite. Being able to reach the entry level was undoubtedly due to his hard work and perseverance. “Spending 348,521 points of Soul Energy can upgrade the Immortal Martial Hand Seal to perfection!” “It requires that much?” Bai Ziyue couldn’t help but widen his eyes. This Soul Energy number was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations. But upon thinking about it, this Immortal Martial Hand Seal was the secret skill of the Immortal Martial Sect, and just the entry-level power was extremely terrifying. Requiring such an amount of Soul Energy seemed reasonable. Thinking like this, his face still showed a pained expression, gritting his teeth he said, “Upgrade!”
