“These green dots are unoccupied mansions. As far as I know, this area is quite good. It’s a grade C Cave Mansion; you may wish to choose here, junior brother,” Xu Qingshan explained, pointing to an area on the scroll with a river.
“This place is near the mountains and waters. There are quite a few untapped Spirit Fields nearby. I heard from Shen Yuxiang that you can cultivate Spiritual Plants, so this place is quite suitable for you.”
Han Ye had not expected senior brother Xu to be so thoughtful, or for senior sister to considerately relay his requirements. What else could he say but nod in agreement:
“Alright. If you insist, then let it be so.”
“Understood, junior brother. If you feel it’s suitable, give me your Identity Jade
Plate, and I will secure it immediately.”
Han Ye handed over his new jade plate. Xu Qingshan used it to point at the scroll and the selected area quickly turned red.
Xu Qingshan then returned the jade plate to Han Ye.
“Alright, junior brother, you can locate this place with your jade plate. I still have things to do, so I won’t accompany you over there.”
“Thank you, senior brother.”
Han Ye respectfully thanked Xu Qingshan with a fist and a bow.
“No need for thanks, you are quite the celebrity in the sect now. Shen Yuxiang brags about you daily, saying that your potential is limitless. In my opinion, you should prepare for your Foundation Establishment, as the Golden Cicada Secret Realm, which opens every ten years, will start in three years.
“Understood.”
Han Ye nodded.
After bidding Xu Qingshan farewell, Han Ye hesitated no more and took off, flying on his sword with the Candle Flame technique.
Overlooking the seemingly infinite forest, with the spiritual fog parting on both sides, the ambition to achieve cloud-like grandeur developed in his heart.
Now that he had become an inner sect disciple, it was another step forward for him on the path to immortality.
He quickly arrived at an even richer spiritual Qi area, nestled amongst winding mountains, away from the hustle and bustle. The surrounding tranquil forest and peaceful garden seemed like a paradise.
A misty lake was situated just below the Cave Mansion, its silver surface undisturbed.
The Spirit Gathering Array here operated slowly, showing it couldn’t compare to a Natural Cave Mansion, but for him, it was already quite good.
On the whole, Han Ye was quite satisfied with this place.
For a long time to come, he would spend his days here.
He looked at the surrounding untamed Spirit Fields, took out the pre-purchased spirit seeds, and began to cultivate the second generation of seeds.
More than a year after becoming an inner disciple, the life of cultivation had not changed much.
Han Ye’s life was tranquil, but he was very content.
Shen Yuxiang approved Tushan Qingli’s Petition for Title within a month. It meant the little fox could freely roam in the sect without worry.
Besides, whenever he had time, he would arrange to practice swordsmanship with Chu Xianyu.
The progress of ‘Sword Art Mastery’ steadily increased. The gains from countless attribute points had drastically improved his swordsmanship. He can now easily form a Sword Gang, and faintly sense the threshold of Sword Intent. His rapid progress baffled Chu Xianyu.
However, she didn’t have time every day. Unlike Han Ye who always stayed at home, she would go out a couple times every month for leisure.
Whenever Chu Xianyu wasn’t around, Han Ye would go to different main peaks to pick up attributes.
The first was naturally related to spiritual plants. ‘Master of Wood Planting’ alone could no longer meet his needs, so he watched Bihu Peak disciples study plant cultivation over three months under the guise of acquiring ingredients for Yangshen Peak alchemy disciples.
The result was excellent; the attribute advanced two levels, turning into a Purple Attribute.
‘Master of Wood Planting (Purple): Your knowledge of wood plants is incredibly profound, greatly accelerating the maturity of any spiritual plant.
At the same time, he gained a new attribute related to spiritual plants. ‘Mutated Spirit Seed (Blue): The fruits of cultivated plants are of higher quality, and there are more of them.’
On the pretext of selling spiritual medicines at Bihu Peak, he went to Yangshen Peak again to sell a large quantity of spiritual medicines he cultivated, earning Spirit Stones. His monthly earnings had exceeded 10,000.
Han Ye, as a supplier of Spiritual Medicines and a versatile Alchemy Master, was active between the two main peaks, picking up attributes and easily breaking into purple with his superb alchemy skills.
“Alchemy Master (purple): An extraordinary and enlightened understanding of alchemical techniques, capable of effortlessly producing elixirs of perfect quality, significantly reducing the toxicity of the elixirs.
“Very good, very good! I’ve now acquired four different Spiritual Roots for cultivation. It is finally time for transformation.”
One day, Han Ye examined his panel, felt the changes in his Spiritual Roots, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratification!
At present, the Gold Spiritual Root has reached extreme purity. In addition to this, there’s Chu Xianyu’s Sunflower Water Spirit Root. Within the sect, as long as one can find a corresponding apprentice, a bout of sparring will allow them to obtain the other’s Spiritual Root attribute.
The realm of every attribute’s Spiritual Root will reach its peak, a limit. What lies above the Mutant Spiritual Root following the Single Spiritual Root?
Han Ye watched as his Purple Thunder Spiritual Root underwent transformation, bursting out strands of orange light.
“Radiant Sun Spiritual Root (Orange): Super Spiritual Root composed of four pure Spiritual Roots, possesses an Extremely Yang Body, cultivation speed is a hundred times that of Mutant Spiritual Roots.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Han Ye’s eyes, he didn’t expect that above the Mutant Spiritual Root, there’d be a Super Spiritual Root.
This Super Spiritual Root is formed of four of the five elements, and its speed of cultivation is even more terrifying than that of a Thunder Spiritual Root!
Han Ye couldn’t help but wonder: “Radiant Sun Spiritual Root… corresponds to an Extremely Yang Body. Could it be that there’s also an Extremely Yin Body with a Moon Spiritual Root?”
Since the innate Sunflower Water Spirit Root is a once-in-a-century occurrence, wouldn’t the Sun Spiritual Root he’s transforming into now be a once-in-five centuries, or once-in-eight centuries phenomenon?
Thinking of this, Han Ye shook his head with a smile.
How many years it occurs within, is just a rating given by later generations. One should not pay too much heed to it.
It was a crisp early morning. Inside his Cave Mansion, the Spiritual Qi was dense, and the forest was filled with a hazy fairy fog.
With a sudden zest for cultivation, Han Ye rose lazily, stretched his body and unexpectedly threw out his palms akin to thunderbolts.
Bang bang bang!
Where his palms reached, sounds akin to thunderclaps echoed intermittently. A large tree forty meters away was directly pulverized by his Palm Thunder. Following this, his figure leapt unceasingly, his feet rising with the Azure Water Gang Qi, carrying him into flight, as if entering unchartered territory, he resembled a wild goose.
With the final palm strike, a flash of lightning startled everyone within tens of meters. The lake’s surface a hundred meters away suddenly exploded, raising gigantic waves of a dozen meters before crashing down heavily again.
The power was truly awe-inspiring.
“Good! In one year’s time, I’ve basically mastered all of the Three Thousand Thunder Seals.”
Han Ye was gently circulating his True Qi, whilst green purple lightning flourished in his hands, giving the illusion of a venomous snake’s hissing! Accompanied by a raging firelight under his feet, it soared him into the sky. “The Ferocious Fire Gang Qi is also greatly accomplished. However, for me, the Mountain Shaking Five Elements Gang still has much room for improvement.” Just as Han Ye was about to land, he formed seals with his fingers.
The True Qi brought along the Long Wood Gang Qi, and thick tree branches drilled out from the ground to catch Han Ye.
He landed steadily.
Mountain Shaking Five Elements Gang was already mastered by him with admirable proficiency!
“It’s time to give the Foundation Establishment a shot.
Han Ye was feeling the tension in his robust arms, his eyes emanating a sharp gleam.
At that moment, an Immortal Crane flew over his Cave Mansion, with an apprentice clad in blue robes resonating.
“Brother Han Ye, the triennial Sect entry examination has begun. The elder asks you to maintain the order. The payment will be according to the test points.”
Han Ye was momentarily stunned at his words.
“Triennial Sect entry examination… It’s been that long, huh.”
