Talisman Reincarnation - All My Clones Are Dao Ancestors-Chapter 121: Senior Qian

As the spiritual light over the whole landscape slowly calmed down, Fu Xian and the others returned their gaze to the central pavilion.

A young lady, with a strong stature yet elegant appearance, came out.

Behind her, a tall man followed, a big smile on his face.

"Congratulations to Senior Qian!" everyone bowed deeply when they felt the strong aura.

Ziling looked at all the cultivators that had attended and cupped her hands at them, "Thank you, fellow neighbours, for coming here!"

She raised her head to look at all the cultivators before focusing her attention on the group of Fu Xian, or rather, she looked directly at Fu Xian.

Cupping her hands again, she didn’t say anything, but a thousand words were conveyed.

She then turned back to the others and announced, "I will enter seclusion for some time. When I leave, I will hold a gathering for all cultivators. I hope everyone can attend."

"Thank you, Senior Qian, for inviting us!" the cultivators bowed again, their expression one of delight.

Finally, it was Senior Ruan who told them to disperse.

Just as Fu Xian’s group was about to leave, he and the others got a secret notification. They were told to go to their senior sister’s yard.

Following her command, the whole group moved to the courtyard, led by Puyan.

Some cultivators saw them but didn’t say anything.

In the neighbourhood, there had been many who formed groups of interest together. It was nothing new, so they didn’t think it was weird for Senior Qian’s group to receive special treatment.

They soon arrived at the courtyard. It was Fu Xian’s first time at his eldest senior sister’s courtyard.

From outside, it looked like a fortress rather than a courtyard.

The doors opened, and Puyan led the group inside. There, Fu Xian saw that it truly looked like a fortress. Large open spaces, various towers and constructs, many training fields...

It looked like a fortress in the depths of chaotic territory, prepared to fight enemies at all times.

Just as they entered, they followed the path to the centre of this space.

There, Fu Xian saw an extremely large watch tower.

Puyan entered together with the others.

The first floor was a large open space, with only a few pieces of furniture.

Fu Xian thought about it and didn’t take Ye Long inside. Instead, he laid him on the ground outside, waving his hand to create a bed out of spiritual power.

Entering it last, he saw that his senior sisters and brothers were all seated on a long table that could be seen in the centre. There was a last seat left for him.

He walked forward and sat down. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Just a moment later, he saw his eldest senior sister Ziling manifest at the head of the table.

"Congratulations, eldest senior sister, for breaking through to the fifth stage!" they all said.

Ziling looked around with a smile, stopping at Fu Xian.

"Junior brother, your help this time allowed me to take the last step.

For this, I will reward you in the future with a breakthrough material to the fourth stage.

I see that you have gained a bit from my breakthrough and that you already entered the second stage!

But let me remind you, even if your cultivation advanced, you still need to fill your middle dantian with spiritual power to truly complete your cultivation."

"Eldest senior sister is still so focused on helping others, hehe, if it wasn’t for this, how could we bunch all come together?" Puyan joked when he saw Ziling explain to Fu Xian all of a sudden.

"That’s right, it’s only because senior sister is so kind that I can endure you guys!" Jiming also joked.

"Hahaha, you guys, you’re just making fun of me!" Ziling laughed when she heard their accusations.

But then she turned serious, "Alright, since everyone is here, we should focus and talk about the future.

Senior brother Helong told me about the immortal cities’ regulations for a fifth-stage cultivator that advanced from a formal citizen.

At this stage, we will become Honoured Citizens. Many new privileges will open up to us, among which the privileges of neighbourhoods are the most important.

As you know, the Myriad Caves Island is composed of countless smaller spaces. These are the neighbourhoods of the immortal city.

But the spiritual power of the island isn’t distributed based on the number of citizens in each space, but the number of Honoured Citizens!

This means the more such citizens there are in a space, the better that space will be. It might even evolve into a small world. It’s said there are some neighbourhoods stemming from higher cultivators that have reached the peak of smaller worlds.

Because of this, every Honoured Citizen is extremely important, especially at the place they advanced.

Senior brother Helong has always been a rogue cultivator. Even when he entered the Immortal City, he hunted and fought for all the resources he could get.

In the end, while he joined a neighbourhood, he didn’t have a close relationship with them and finally opened up a new one, intending to gather people from all around to help him.

Initially, he really only wanted to get a bit of aid on his path, but later he realised the importance of neighbourhoods and how many benefits are bound together.

Especially now, in this situation.

Since I am a fifth-stage cultivator, I could leave and create my own neighbourhood.

But that would be arduous, and the investment required would be too huge.

Just look at brother Helong. He spent so many years and so many resources on us to gain more benefits through the neighbourhood.

These benefits are important for fifth-stage cultivators.

Brother Helong promised a fair share of the benefits. He will keep 10% as the founder of the neighbourhood, and the rest will be split cleanly between all Honoured Citizens.

I am telling you this because I know that you, brother Puyan, are close to breaking through. Sister Jiming, brother Miaoyu, and brother Longbao, you are also not far from breaking through.

Although advancing isn’t guaranteed, after all, we are all talented people who have created our own paths.

You too, brother Fu Xian. One day you will also advance. When you do, I hope you will also consider staying in this neighbourhood."

"Eldest senior sister, since the benefits become better with more people, then we will all stay as long as we don’t have a conflict!" Puyan spoke while the others nodded.

Even Fu Xian felt that it was better to eat a slice of cake than a single small cookie.
