Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 265 - 221: Church Saintess and the Tentacle Monster?

"You both chose the Evil Extermination Sword Sect?"

In the independent office, Taibai Phecda looked speechlessly at the boy and girl in front of him.

These two would be a treasure in any Immortal Sect, so why insist on joining the Evil Extermination Sword Sect?

But then again, applying to the Evil Extermination Sword Sect isn't exactly a bad choice.

Many Xianxia novels, for the sake of the plot, forcibly make the protagonist apply to a trash sect, adding a main storyline of revitalizing the sect and so on.

Even if the protagonist applies to one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, that sect is often the most side-lined among the ten.

Or perhaps the sect was doing well, but suddenly some major internal upheaval occurred, forcing the protagonist to step in and save the day.

Even though readers enjoy it, it's clear that such a sect is not recommended for ordinary people.

From the perspective of side characters, applying to such a sect is seen as self-destructive.

But the Evil Extermination Sword Sect is different.

Not only is this sect not sidelined, but it can actually rank in the top five among the Ten Great Immortal Sects.

Graduates of the Sword Sect have quite flexible career directions.

The Evil Extermination Department can directly join the Law Enforcement Bureau and become legitimate public officials, with very high social status.

In the Sword Dao Department, those who focus on academics can join Sword Dao Sects for in-depth study, while others can become Flying Sword Hands, participating in the Blue Star Federation's most popular flying sword racing competitions, gaining both fame and wealth.

Even in some of the less popular majors of the Sword Sect, like Meteorology, Earth and Wood Departments, Sword Cultivators have places to apply their skills.

In the Meteorology Department, Sword Cultivators can soar high into the sky, observing atmospheric phenomena from beyond the atmosphere.

In the Earth and Wood Department, a Sword Cultivator's flying sword can serve as a crane, for cutting, concrete mixing, and other jobs.

At the same time, graduates of the Evil Extermination Sword Sect also have great advantages in exploring secret realms.

Many secret realm exploration teams, when recruiting, would first want graduates of the True Martial Saint Sect, followed by those from the Evil Extermination Sword Sect.

Considering future prospects, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi's choice genuinely isn't flawed.

As for why Taibai Phecda doesn't recommend them joining the Evil Extermination Sword Sect... well, there's no point discussing since they've already chosen it.

And as long as one can endure hardships, this reason could actually be seen as a strength from a certain angle.

"Teacher Taibai, the reason we are joining the Evil Extermination Sword Sect is because we admire you."

Su Yuan sincerely flattered.

Taibai Phecda rolled his eyes speechlessly, ignored Su Yuan, and turned to the five preparatory class students behind Su Yuan.

These students also chose the Evil Extermination Sword Sect.

Out of fifty-one preparatory class students, seven were allocated to the Evil Extermination Sword Sect, which is quite decent.

Giving the students a casual glance, Taibai Phecda nodded slightly.

Among the five students, three were recognized by him early on as Sword Dao geniuses.

The fourth was Xiao Kong, a spirited young man unwilling to bend, a promising sword cultivator, so choosing the Evil Extermination Sword Sect wasn't surprising.

It seems it was because his sister Xiao Meng chose the Observing Heaven Pavilion, and he has the ambition to overtake her.

However, seeing the fifth person made him somewhat surprised.

"Qi Hanyan! Shouldn't you be going to the Profound Art Celestial Sect?"

Taibai Phecda frowned and asked.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, Qi Hanyan, who seemed quite ordinary in the crowd, responded with embarrassment,

"Teacher Taibai, I've had enough of the hardships of Alchemy in Su Yuan's factory, so I don't want to learn more about it."

"Joining the Evil Extermination Department seems easier to muddle through... ahem, mainly it's because Sword Cultivators are cooler than Alchemists."

You just said you want to muddle through!

Taibai Phecda's forehead veins slightly twitched, angry at her lack of progress.

"Once you're in college, work hard! If you really dare to muddle through, don't blame me for reporting it to your mother!"

Qi Hanyan's face immediately turned bitter.

Those around couldn't help but show curiosity.

Qi Hanyan's parents know Teacher Taibai?

And from the tone, it seems he respects her mother quite a bit.

This seemingly ordinary country girl... has quite a background!

However, Taibai Phecda didn't give the students time to gossip, he cleared his throat and said,

"Enough idle talk, I will now formally begin guiding you on the path of Foundation Establishment."

"Who among you has already exchanged for Divine Spirit Root? I'll prioritize guiding, to prevent you from wasting the Divine Spirit Root."

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi immediately stepped forward.

The former needs no further mention, Chen Nuoyi's process of exchanging the Divine Spirit Root was a bit complicated.

The Immortal Spirit Root she desired was the top-notch 'Celestial Sword Spirit Root.'

This Spirit Root is paired with the Celestial Sword Unification Technique, with an exchange price of 12000 academic credits, obviously far beyond her credits alone.

But Yin Qiyue provided timely assistance, lending most of her credits to Chen Nuoyi.

After all, she already had a Divine Spirit Root herself, so besides the credits needed for exchanging a Foundation Establishment Technique, the extra credits had little use.

Under Su Yuan's persuasion, Chen Nuoyi temporarily accepted this credit loan, but she still intends to return it when she has enough credits in the future.

In short, having exchanged for both the technique and the Spirit Root, Chen Nuoyi was just one step away from Foundation Establishment.

"Those without Spirit Roots, please step outside, I'll guide you shortly."

Taibai Phecda waved his hand, and Xiao Kong, Qi Hanyan, and other students obediently waited outside the office.

"Let me guess, Su Yuan, did you choose the Demon-Vanquishing Primordial Scripture?"

He turned to look at Su Yuan with a teasing smile.

Su Yuan awkwardly scratched his head.

Apparently, without needing any explanation, the Taibai Sword Demon already knew what he was up to.

Perhaps this is the unspoken understanding between demons and demons.

Taibai Phecda was about to speak out about Su Yuan's plan to inspect the factory every day and seize the opportunity to absorb demonic energy for cultivation.

But Su Yuan spoke first:

"Teacher, you know me best. I'm planning to have all departments of the Primordial Sect gather for meetings every day starting today."

"Morning meetings, evening meetings, major meetings every three days, minor meetings every two days, each lasting at least half an hour."

"While the cadre of the Primordial Sect discuss and report on their work below, I'll be up there absorbing the demonic energy. In just a few days, I'll be able to establish a Supreme Dao Foundation!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Taibai Phecda: "..."

Sorry, I really don't understand you at all! Nor am I your teacher!

This newborn who assembles all employees for meetings every day shouldn't appear in the Evil Extermination Sword Sect but rather be hung on a street lamp.

Taibai Phecda struggled to skip over the topic:

"Then which Spiritual Root did you choose?"

"I remember Evil Extermination Sword Sect shouldn't have a Spiritual Root matched with the Demon-Vanquishing Primordial Scripture."

"Even if there is, it would be upright and honorable, which you don't deserve to use."

At this point, Su Yuan wasn't planning to hide it anymore.

He directly spoke about having a Senluo Spirit Root and his plan to absorb the power of the Immortal Spirit Root to elevate the Senluo Spirit Root to Immortal Grade.

After hearing these words, Taibai Phecda fell into silence.

He spoke slowly after a long pause:

"Su Yuan, you should really be thankful that you were born in an era with Artificial Spirit Roots."

"If you were in the Ancient Cultivation Realm and dared to exhaust two Immortal Spirit Root geniuses to achieve the Great Dao, neither the Righteous nor Demonic Dao would spare you."

But due to having already developed a strong resistance to Su Yuan, Taibai Phecda, after a brief moment of surprise, suddenly asked:

"Since your Senluo Spirit Root can keep growing, is it possible to reach a realm above the Immortal Spirit Root?"

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then nodded solemnly:

"I think it's possible, and that's why I've purchased two Immortal Spirit Roots in succession."

Immortal Level Spirit Root is only Golden Talent, but Colorful is the extreme.

If conditions permit, Su Yuan naturally wants to strive for it.

But Taibai Phecda slowly shook his head:

"Two Immortal Spirit Roots are not enough, you'd need at least two more for the Senluo Spirit Root to break its shackles and reach the Divine Spirit Root."

The Spiritual Root above the Immortal Spirit Root is called Divine Spirit Root?

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback, then immediately nodded.

Obtaining two more Immortal Spirit Roots is no difficulty at all for Su Yuan.

He already has over four thousand academic credits now, and the various businesses of the Primordial Sect can earn him several hundred, close to a thousand, credits per day.

This means that in no more than half a month, he can acquire two more Immortal Spirit Roots.

In this half-month period, devoting all his time to cultivating the Demon-Vanquishing Primordial Scripture would not affect his Foundation Establishment progress at all.

Seeing that Su Yuan had understood his meaning, Taibai Phecda continued:

"Let's not talk about the Divine Spirit Root for now, you should use the Immortal Spirit Root first."

"In the process of cultivating the Foundation Establishment Technique, the sooner the Spiritual Root participates, the better the effect. With the talents of you two, you might achieve Foundation Establishment within a hundred days."

Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi nodded in unison and opened the jade boxes containing the Immortal Spirit Roots before them.

Surprisingly, the Immortal Spirit Root looks very different in appearance compared to the Celestial Spirit Root.

The former is actually just a seed!

The two picked up the seed from the box, and at Taibai Phecda's indication, swallowed it directly.

Though the Immortal Spirit Root seed looked solid, once it entered Su Yuan's body, it quickly traversed through his internal organs and plunged directly into his Dantian.

Once it settled in the Dantian, this seed immediately took root and sprouted, with abundant Immortal Spirit Qi spilling forth from it.

Immortal energy surged, filling Su Yuan's entire Dantian, and faintly showed signs of evolving the entire Dantian.

But at the next moment, the true master of the Dantian, the Senluo Spirit Root, sprang into action!

Like encountering a tentacle monster from the Church Saintess, numerous tentacles extended greedily, firmly binding the freshly sprouted Immortal Spirit Root.

The tips of each tentacle kept penetrating the core of the Immortal Spirit Root, greedily extracting the sweetness within.

As time passed, the energy inside the Immortal Spirit Root was completely devoured by the Senluo Spirit Root.

The ethereal seed also vanished into smoke.

However, seemingly due to some loss during absorption, the Senluo Spirit Root was unable to immediately break through to Immortal Grade, stopping just before the final step.

This was within Su Yuan's expectations, and he calmly picked up the second seed, sending it into his Dantian.

After the second "Church Saintess" was completely consumed by the Senluo Spirit Root, the nefarious spirit root retracted all its tentacles and also turned into the appearance of a seed.

Though it was called a seed, it actually seemed more like a flesh egg, exuding an ominous aura.

After being nurtured for a whole hour, the top of the flesh egg burst open, and numerous twisted, scarlet tentacles extended outward, connecting with the Dantian, forming a massive tree made of tentacles.

When the giant tree finally matured, Su Yuan felt as though everything around him became vivid and vibrant.

He could see the spiritual energy contained in all things, discern the quality of the spiritual energy, and instantly differentiate, absorbing only high-quality spiritual energy.

Within the Dantian, the spiritual power was continuously refined under the influence of the Immortal Grade Senluo Spirit Root.

Although his cultivation remained at the Qi Cultivation Peak, Su Yuan could clearly feel the potential index related to his spiritual power skyrocketing!

After the impurities were stripped from the spiritual power, the Dantian, which had almost been filled by spiritual energy, once again showed vacancies.

The same was true for Chen Nuoyi.

Taibai Phecda timely activated the Second Level Spirit Gathering Array within the office.

In an instant, the two seemed to become two black holes, devouring every trace of spiritual energy in the office with insatiable greed.
