Chapter 109 - Arc 8: Wuling Immortal Sect | Chapter 109: Sect Rewards
Translator: Lynn
The Wuling Immortal Sect, a second-rank large sect with a long and storied history, upholds its own set of rules and regulations.
Upon entering the inner sect, all disciples are rewarded by the Sect Master, and among the various rewards, the most coveted one is the spiritual vein.
In the vast world, abundant spiritual energy transforms into spiritual stones over time, and the accumulation of these spiritual stones gives rise to spiritual veins.
Countless spiritual veins have been nurtured underground for thousands of years, classified into first-order, second-order, third-order, and small spiritual veins.
Small spiritual veins can hardly produce spiritual stones, with their accumulated spiritual energy being meager and mostly retaining the form of beads, hence, they are not ranked.
In contrast, third-order spiritual veins produce low-grade spiritual stones, second-order spiritual veins yield middle-grade spiritual stones, and first-order spiritual veins yield high-grade spiritual stones. For monks, obtaining these three types of spiritual veins is more beneficial than absorbing ordinary spirit stones, as they offer a more abundant aura of heaven and earth.
The Wuling Immortal Sect has established specific rules, granting inner sect disciples who form a Golden Core the privilege to reside in a small peak and be rewarded with a third-level spiritual vein. Those disciples who condense the Nascent Soul can live in the middle-grade peak and receive a second-level spiritual vein, while those who reach the Soul Formation stage can either reside alone on another peak or live on the main peak, enjoying a first-level spiritual vein.
Additionally, the sect offers numerous other rewards, including panaceas, magic weapons, and various exercises, though they are too numerous to list here.
Such generous rewards can only be found in a behemoth like the Wuling Immortal Sect, which dares to implement such a system.
Currently, Yun Lie has successfully completed his golden core and faces a crucial decision – whether to live alone or not.
Master Qiu He is very reluctant to part with his disciple, but given his current Golden Core cultivation, it would be unfair to force Yun Lie to continue living with him as his master. Moreover, with eight female disciples being fearful of Yun Lie like he was a tiger, if he continues residing on Xiaozhu Peak, he would be confined to the peak’s summit, which would be a significant loss of face. Therefore, the decision lies entirely with Yun Lie.
Xu Ziqing felt genuinely happy for his shixiong, Yun Lie, to have a place to live alone, but at the same time, he couldn’t help feeling a bit disappointed. While he joined the Wuling Immortal Sect for its prestige, his main motivation was to be with his friends. Although they are now part of the same sect and have become senior-junior brothers, the fact that Yun Lie is moving away means they might not have as many opportunities to meet in the future. Even though they rarely saw each other in the past, living together as friends creates a strong bond. Now, the feeling of farewell is undeniable.
Before Yun Lie could say anything, a powerful sense of oppression suddenly emanated from the air.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw a figure descending from the high altitude. This person wore a wide robe with big sleeves, had a beard under his chin, and a friendly smile on his face. He walked confidently and soon arrived at the top of Xiaozhu Peak, stopping there to look down at the crowd.
Walking in the air... This was a monk at the Nascent Soul stage!
Xu Ziqing was shocked. Why would such a powerful monk visit this place? He instinctively turned to look at Master Qiu He, but seeing no concern in his expression, Xu Ziqing felt relieved.
The old man laughed heartily and announced, “Xiaozhu Peak, Yun Lie, has practiced the way of ruthless killing swords and achieved the Golden Core Stage. He is the first person in the world to achieve this path in millions of years! I, Wei Yi of Lingyue Peak, was ordered by the Sect Master to come and congratulate him!”
Yun Lie turned around, lifted his head, and said, “Thank you, Senior.”
Wei Yi: “In addition, Master Yun, you have never used magic treasures in your practice of swordsmanship, so the Sect Master specially bestowed a top-grade spiritual weapon, the Lingjian Frost Killer, hoping that Master Yun can use it well. The Sect Master said that if Daoist Yun can achieve Nascent Soul in the future, there will be more benefits as a gift!”
Yun Lie: “Thank you, Sect Master.”
Wei Yi: “I got a bottle of Jianyuan Dan in the past, and it was also a small gift from me. Hey, Yun Lie must be really happy to form a core!”
Yun Lie: “Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I will treasure it.”
Wei Yi finished his work, turned around, and walked away swiftly, stepping into the air.
Many peak leaders within a radius of thousands of miles saw this scene and heard about all the rewards Yun Lie received, leaving them envious.
On the top of Xiaozhu Peak, Master Qiu He looked at his apprentice, Yun Lie.
Master Qiu He: “Yun’er, you really have unlimited potential, and the reward you received as my disciple far surpasses what I received during my time.”
Yun Lie said nothing, only took the spiritual weapon and then threw the storage ring to Master Qiu He.
Yun Lie: “The rest belong to Shifu.”
Master Qiu He was taken aback, then touched by Yun Lie’s gesture, and bounced the storage ring back: “Yun’er is filial, and as your teacher, I understand. But I still have some wealth, so I don’t need to take Yun’er’s reward.”
Yun Lie nodded, appreciating the concern of his master, and took the storage ring back again.
Seeing this, Xu Ziqing’s eyes softened. He knew Yun Lie was a man of few words, but he never hesitated to help others. If Master ever needed anything, Yun Lie wouldn’t hesitate to offer his support.
With the Sect Master’s reward received and the decision made, there was a sense of closure.
Qiu He then asked, “Yun’er, are you going to move to your peak now?”
Yun Lie replied, “Yes.”
Qiu He sighed, but his smile returned. “In that case, I’ll have Ziqing live in your former residence on the peak... unless you have a preference?”
Xu Ziqing looked at Yun Lie, considering his feelings about his former dwelling. He didn’t want to impose.
Yun Lie gave a casual glance and replied, “Shidi can enter my peak.”
