Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman-Chapter 116 - 98 Revisiting the Old Place (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)_2

Chapter 116: Chapter 98 Revisiting the Old Place (Happy Dragon Boat Festival)_2

During this period, ancient relics continually re-emerged into the world, influenced by the Evil Qi Tide, their seals disappearing.

At each site, there were still cultivators who, fearless of death, rushed in hoping to find a chance for immortal cultivation.

However, as days passed one by one,

The cultivators gradually realized that the more recently emerged ancient relics were increasingly mysterious and dangerous.

Even the latest relic they explored had already been occupied by evil spirits.

After the monsters awoke, they caused calamities in several cities and territories nearby.

So much so that the Immortal Sect elders issued repeated orders, prohibiting the Immortal Cultivation Families from independently exploring these newly emerged ancient relics.

Yet, how many among these Immortal Cultivation Families were willing to heed the warnings remained unknown to all.

In the midst of chaos, there were always those who refused to be pawns or cannon fodder.

Some even believed they might be the Child of Destiny, capable of obtaining an opportunity for immortal cultivation and changing their fate against the heavens.

With a bit of luck, it was possible to emerge as spectacularly as the first generation Immortal Chiyuan, creating a vast Immortal Sect!

And subsequently leaving behind the myth of ascension!

The majority of the letters Su Ping sent to acquaintances from the Outer Sect gradually went unanswered.

On the other hand, Su Ping himself received several letters from fellow brothers who had finally heard of his Minor Achievement in Body Tempering, inviting him to join them on missions.

Even one Outer Sect brother, unable to find Su Ping, left a message hoping Su Ping would join them to explore a small-scale relic.

According to that brother, he had a stroke of luck and obtained many secrets, making the exploration of that small-scale relic almost a sure success!

He even mentioned that Su Ping need not enter the relic; just helping by channeling mana from outside would be enough.

Of course, Su Ping politely declined all offers.

But the Array Master brother, perhaps remembering Su Ping’s Spirit Stones, persisted in replying.

This allowed Su Ping to learn about the recent situation at the Immortal Sect’s Outer Sect.

According to this brother’s observations, after a major problem arose in the north, many elders and True Disciples vanished.

However, the Merit and Demerit Hall suddenly released many missions with rich rewards, tempting many Outer Sect disciples to band together and embark on them.

He also mentioned that the Punishment Alliance was becoming increasingly dominant and reminded Su Ping to be cautious and avoid conflicts with its members.

“The Punishment Alliance, eh?”

Su Ping remembered those members he encountered on Nine Leaf Mountain who had rounded up the Eagle-faced cultivator and callously targeted innocent Loose Cultivators to keep their secret.

Su Ping did not have a good impression of them.

However, he would naturally not intentionally provoke them now.

The forces behind the Punishment Alliance were, at least, True Disciples, who were Foundation Establishment great cultivators at a minimum!

Any confrontation could wait until he himself had reached Foundation Establishment and could take on ten opponents at once!

“Ah, Foundation Establishment!”

“After reaching the Seventh Layer in Qi Cultivation, the pace of cultivation just slows down…”

“And even low-grade pills for Qi Cultivation’s Late Period, even waste pills, are currently beyond my means to purchase!”

After reading the letters, Su Ping’s desire for Foundation Establishment grew, yet he still had no plans to rush into accepting missions to accelerate his cultivation.

“Wait, even if I don’t take on missions, I can still exchange top-grade pills for Merit, right?”

“As for identity, the Immortal Sect’s recruitment order is still hanging in the Mountain Gate!”

“If I take on the identity of Yun Kong, the Exorcism Youth, with Late Qi Cultivation, that should be enough to join the Outer Sect and enter the Merit and Demerit Hall, right?”

“Then just casually take on a mission and leave.”

“The Immortal Sect, receiving top-grade pills, won’t feel shortchanged, so they likely won’t mind if I don’t return, right?”

“And even if they do mind, that would be Yun Kong of the Exorcism Family’s issue, not mine, Su Ping!”

Contemplating this path, he saw no significant troubles.

And Su Ping, after acquiring Divine Sense, soon discovered in following tests,

that posing as a Memory Illusion, under the protection of the Memory Divine Artifact, his Divine Sense and late-stage Body Tempering cultivation could also be concealed, only revealing the cultivation level and aura of the Memory Illusion itself.

This made Su Ping realize that once he reached Foundation Establishment, he could also disguise as an ordinary Qi Cultivation cultivator, who only seemed to be in Qi Cultivation, but in fighting would reveal himself as a Foundation Establishment great cultivator!

This would show the attackers what it meant to ‘play pig to eat tiger’!

…

One day later, hidden within a bamboo forest, Yun Kong, a handsome young mage with white short hair, arrived at the Immortal Sect’s official workshop at Cloud Mountain.

Although the Cloud Mountain Workshop, possessing a Second Tier Low-Grade Spirit Vein, was an official market of the Immortal Sect,

a young cultivator in the Late Period of Qi Cultivation still attracted plenty of attention.

Many silently speculated whether he might be a genius from one of the Immortal Cultivation Families.

The white-haired youth glanced around the market and declined greetings from a receptionist,

then directly headed to the Immortal Sect’s stronghold within the workshop.

The Outer Sect disciples there, merely at the Fourth Layer in Qi Cultivation, flashed a look of envy when they saw this white-haired young man,

but they did not dare to act rashly, especially upon hearing that he was a Loose Cultivator responding to the recruitment order.

Although skeptical, they became even more humble in their actions,

considering that, with such cultivation, he would likely be appointed as a Deacon if he joined the sect, possibly even gaining authority over this lowly Outer Sect disciple.

“Thank you, brother!”

The white-haired young man bowed sincerely to that Outer Sect disciple.

This left the Outer Sect disciple a bit stunned, perhaps not expecting a genius to be so polite.

He forced a smile and quickly handed over the registered wooden tablet to Su Ping,

then rang a bell to pass on the information.

Soon after, Su Ping was summoned early into the inner chamber,

where an Inner Sect Disciple and two Outer Sect Deacons interviewed him.

Impressed by the disposition of the white-haired young man, known as Yun Kong from a small northern country in the Exorcism Family and skilled in combat,

the Inner Sect Disciple felt a twinge of competitiveness and, under the guise of an assessment, challenged Su Ping to a duel.
