Spiritual Energy Rejuvenation: I Began Cultivating By Farming
Chapter 59 - 59 59 Immortal Sect

59: Chapter 59 Immortal Sect 59: Chapter 59 Immortal Sect Luo Yaxuan was in his master’s abode within the Nangong Immortal Sect, quietly reciting the curse his master had told him, and to his surprise, he could hear his father’s response.

He was extremely happy about this; although he couldn’t see his father’s face, being able to hear his voice was a joyous occasion for him.

He had missed his home dearly over the years, but as a cultivator, he must fulfill his mission.

Only with a strong cultivation could he protect his family.

During the monotonous days of training at his master’s, a belief sustained him: to become strong, strong enough to protect his family, his father, and his loved ones.

“Father, I am well.

I have advanced again, to the Mid Foundation Establishment stage.”

Family Head Luo Sheng, sitting in the Council Hall, laughed heartily upon hearing his son’s words.

The elders seated around him also laughed with joy.

“Hahaha, my son has done well, to think he has advanced in less than a year!

With such great resources at Nangong Immortal Sect, you must focus on your cultivation, to make yourself stronger.”

“Son understands.

Today, Master gave me a Magical Treasure.

Whenever I have free time, I can speak with Father and the family.”

“Very well, don’t worry about the family here, everyone’s fine.

You must concentrate on your cultivation so that your cultivation can rise to another level.

Then you can help the family when facing any crises and save our clan from dire straits.”

Family Head Luo Sheng really wished his son would send him messages every day, but as a cultivator, he had to restrain this longing and not hold his son back.

Their family’s strongest was only the Golden Core ancestor.

He very much hoped for a brighter future for the clan, with someone reaching the Nascent Soul stage or above, and thereby ascending to the Top Ten Clans.

The first-rate families didn’t have many strong resources, just like Family Head Lai; if they could promote their clan to a higher level, they could access better resources.

However, he was quite rational.

Family Head Luo Sheng believed that without the personal ability, any honor wrestled away would be fleeting, as others would surely surpass them.

Luo Yaxuan talked with his father for a while, then under his master’s gaze, he put away his Spiritual Power.

“Master, your disciple will return to his cave dwelling to cultivate.”

“Good, you make your master proud, and your master is happy about that.

You must concentrate on your cultivation.

If there is anything you don’t understand, you can seek your master’s guidance.”

“Thank you, Master.”

“There’s one more thing I must tell you.

The annual competition has begun.

When you have time, come and watch!”

“The annual disciple competition?

Okay, your disciple will go and watch.”

Luo Yaxuan remembered that the major competition of all Sects would take place in three years, and he, as a direct disciple, might be sent to participate.

Even his master might be sent, as it was an opportunity for the Sect to snatch resources.

The Sect Master would surely send strong contenders.

Luo Yaxuan wanted to participate because, of course, he wanted to learn and witness more experience.

If cultivators only trained passively, without strong combat abilities, they would not succeed.

It was possible that one day the Sect would send them on missions, and those lacking combat prowess might die.

After bidding farewell to his master, Luo Yaxuan returned to his cave dwelling to cultivate.

This time, his cultivation was not only about refining Spiritual Energy, but also about studying the Secret Manuals, Magical Treasure’s application, and stronger Spells, given by his master.

Luo Yaxuan recorded the Secret Manuals given by his master in his mind while in his cave dwelling.

Then, he leaped out and went to an uninhabited peak within the Central Sect, where he intended to practice the Wind Stabbing Spell.

He practiced the Wind Stabbing Spell with the ability to create gusts, allowing him to strip the mountain peak’s trees and vegetation with his wind.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh”

The stabbing could create a hole through the middle of a tree.

These were just ordinary trees without souls; they would not ward off the attack.

He kept practicing until he had destroyed all the trees at the top of the mountain.

When he arrived, the mountaintop was green with grass and trees, full of Spiritual Energy.

But just in one or two hours, the place turned into a barren land.

Luo Yaxuan sat down on the ground to restore his Spiritual Energy for a moment, then took a Spirit Supplement Pill and began practicing the Thunderstrike Spell.

The place where he stood, despite being bare, had good earth, while the area in front of him was pitted and wasted.

The fresh greenery that had been hit by lightning turned black, then turned to ash.

Luo Yaxuan practiced the Thunderstrike Spell here, and the sky seemed to real thunder, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, “Bang, bang, bang!”

This uninhabited mountain peak, now a site of cultivation, was ignored by the Sect, as the mountain was not as famous as others and lacked a Spirit Vein, which is why no one had established a cave dwelling here.

It made it convenient for special disciples like Luo Yaxuan, who cultivated both wind and thunder, to practice on an uninhabited peak.

The rules set by the Sect state that disciples without sufficient qualifications cannot cultivate on such peaks.

In a Cultivator Sect, every plant and blade of grass belonged to the Sect.

If one desired to become stronger, it was up to one’s own understanding and abilities.

However, there were still observers.

Suddenly witnessing such powerful lightning, Sect members wondered, which mighty cultivator was training here?

Luo Yaxuan cultivated here for half a day and only then returned to his cave dwelling, having gained some achievements.

He felt that the Spells he performed today, indeed the ones learned from Secret Manuals, were different.

It could also relate to his level of cultivation; when he was at the Initial Foundation Establishment stage and used wind and thunder Spells, they weren’t as powerful as they were today.

Luo Yaxuan returned to his cave dwelling, where a Servant Disciple brought him his meal.

“Brother Luo, the Outer Sect disciples have returned from their tasks and brought back a lot of Demonic Beast meat for the Sect.

Just as I was getting meat, I saw some fresh cuts and got some for Brother Luo to try.”

“Oh, what Demonic Beast’s meat is this?”

“It’s from a first-order Demonic Beast cow.”

“Hmm, it tastes good.” Luo Yaxuan took a bite and savored the delicious beef, which contained Spiritual Energy and replenished the energy he had exhausted that afternoon.

…

Family Head Lai looked enviously at Family Head Luo Sheng; why wouldn’t his own son send him a message?

How is his son doing now?

The father works so hard in the family just to get more resources to support his son’s cultivation, yet he is just a little short; what lacks is the family members’ cultivation level, preventing them from reaching the next level.

Family Head Lai, who had just thought about making a push, has now calmed his emotions.

…

The West Gate Immortal Sect.

Next in prestige to the North City Immortal Sect, it sits on equal footing with the Nangong Immortal Sect.

Every three years there is a grand competition, and disciples from the three sects participate.

The reason the North City Immortal Sect is the number one sect under the heavens is that they always come out on top in the triennial competitions against disciples from other sects.

Disciples from the West Gate Immortal Sect are not weak either, as they consistently hold second place, unwavering alongside the Nangong Immortal Sect.

West Gate Immortal Sect, Inner Sect Disciple Courtyard.

A few years ago, when Lai Jianlin came to participate in the entrance examination for the Immortal Sect disciples, the West Gate Immortal Sect took him in as a disciple; he initially started as an Outer Sect disciple.

After several years of effort, he had entered the Inner Sect and became an Inner Sect Disciple, gaining access to better resources and cultivation manuals.

Triple Spirit Root: Gold, Wood, and Earth.

And he had advanced from the Qi Cultivation Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Suddenly, a horn resounded through the Immortal Sect, “All disciples, take note.

All disciples, take note.

There will be a grand competition for Immortal Sect disciples in ten days.

Servant Disciples who win the top three spots can enter the Outer Sect, while the last three must leave the Sect.

Outer Sect disciples who place in the top three can enter Inner Sect cultivation.

The last three will be demoted to Servant Disciples, and the top three Inner Sect disciples may have a chance to become Direct Disciples, with even more rewards on offer.”

All disciples from every corner of the Immortal Sect were preparing for the grand competition happening in ten days.

This was the annual grand competition of the Immortal Sect.

Last year, during the Immortal Sect’s grand competition, Lai Jianlin entered the Inner Sect and became an Inner Sect Disciple.

This year, amidst his hard work, he aspired to display more remarkable talents and become the Direct Disciple of an Elder.

He had this ambition, and he also had another purpose: to obtain more secret manuals and have the qualifications to access even more manuals, so he could pass these skills back to his family, allowing his clan members to cultivate with better resources.

As a second-tier family, it wasn’t just his father who was not content; he, too, was not satisfied.

Upon entering the Immortal Sect, many of the disciples were from the Ten Great Clans or top-tier noble clans.

His background, as someone from a second-tier clan, was no different from commoners when entering the Immortal Sect.

Lai Jianlin felt that he needed to prepare.

With only ten days’ time, cultivating in the courtyard wouldn’t yield much progress; he needed to head to the Scripture Pavilion to learn more secret manuals from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the aptitude of Triple Spirit Roots: Gold, Wood, and Earth, he needed to learn more spells to compensate for the inadequacies of the Triple Spirit Roots.

“Brother Lai, heading to the Scripture Pavilion again?”

As Lai Jianlin employed his footwork, leaping towards the Treasure Pavilion, he didn’t just get the chance to look at secret manuals, but also observe some magical treasures that were beyond his comprehension.

However, these magical treasures were just for viewing.

Those who weren’t qualified couldn’t even see them; only Inner Sect Disciples and Direct Disciples had access.

At each grand competition, the winning disciples had the opportunity to receive one of the magical treasures on display.

“Sister Ding, you’re also going to the Treasure Pavilion, huh?”

“Yes, Brother, do you feel confident about winning in the grand competition?”

Ding Ling was a disciple of the West Gate Immortal Sect, with Foundation Establishment cultivation, and an Inner Sect Disciple.

Coming from a lower stratum, she worked tirelessly.

Although it’s common for women to enter the Inner Sect, Ding Ling was very diligent.

Single Spirit Root: Ice Spirit Root.

Technically speaking, such a spirit root should have enabled her to join the ranks of Direct Disciples.

Unfortunately, as someone from the lower class without the backing of a family, she slowly persevered and eventually became an Inner Sect Disciple.

Ding Ling would visit the Scripture Pavilion periodically to learn more secret manuals.

Without a master to teach her, and since her family wasn’t made up of cultivators, she often went to the Teaching Hall to listen to the experiences shared by other senior disciples, gleaning some knowledge from them.

And from that, she gleaned insights on cultivation methods.

“Brother Lai, may I ask you a question?

When ice turns into snow, can it form flake by flake?”

“Sister Ding Ling, if you go to the Treasure Pavilion, you might find a spell manual.

Sister, I haven’t come into contact with these things; I don’t quite understand,” replied Lai Jianlin.

Every moment for Lai Jianlin was so precious; he could only look at the secret manuals relevant to his three spirit roots.

He truly had no time to look at other people’s spell manuals, although he still glanced at some defensive technique manuals.

Blindly cultivating without the ability to defend against an enemy’s attack is a fool’s errand.

Just like them, striving hard in their cultivation to come out on top in the grand competition, they needed to learn more techniques for combat.

“Brother, did you hear that this year’s winners of the grand competition will be eligible to participate in the triennial grand competition of all the Immortal Sects?”

“Hmm, so we need to work even harder,” said Lai Jianlin.

He didn’t dislike Ding Ling for her lower-class origins and felt a woman who managed to become an Inner Sect Disciple through her hard work was impressive.

He, a man from a second-tier family, felt somewhat ashamed.

He must become a Direct Disciple, and he must also secure a spot in the all-Immortal Sects grand competition.

If he could secure such a spot, he would have a chance to come out on top in the grand competition of all the Immortal Sects and bring honor to both his family and his sect.

The two arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

Usually, there weren’t many who came here to look at secret manuals, but today it was particularly crowded, perhaps due to the news released by the sect, which made everyone a bit more anxious.

Lai Jianlin reached the Scripture Pavilion and showed his jade token to the senior brother at the front desk.

“Go ahead, but you may only record five secret manuals, and you must leave the Scripture Pavilion within an hour,” he said.

“Brother, isn’t it usually permitted to stay for the whole day?”

“That’s on a regular day, but today there are too many people.

The higher-ups have decreed that everyone must leave within an hour, or else it gets too crowded inside.”

“Alright.”

Lai Jianlin didn’t wait for Ding Ling and took back his jade token to enter and search for secret manuals.

An hour might seem like a lot, but there were so many secret manuals inside that it was hard to find time for each one, especially if another person was holding it; you had to wait for them to put it back before you could take a look or make a record.

Ah, being a Direct Disciple really was better.
