Chapter 204 – Little Witch Mountain Cave
Chapter 204 – Little Witch Mountain Cave
Yue Yanru smiled slightly, “For us array cultivators, the divine sense is extremely important, this jade slip, is a divine sense of the cultivation method. It’s a pity that when I got this jade slip back then, it was crippled, only the first three times.”
Saying this, a look of regret appeared in her eyes as she gently stroked her finger over the jade slip.
“But it is this only threefold remnant that outshines all the Divine Sense Techniques of the Easy Sect. Today, I will pass this Divine Refinement Decree to you, and I hope that you will learn it well.”
Xu Chuniang received this half jade slip with a solemn expression, something that could be valued so highly by a Jindan cultivator would definitely not be bad.
“You’ve learned the way of rune seals, and even though formations and talismans are not separate, there’s still a big difference between the two.”
Yue Yanru pondered a little and made arrangements for Xu Chuniang’s situation.
“Every first and fifteenth day, I will preach and teach the disciples, and for the rest of the time, you can go to the main peak and listen to the lessons. Foundation Establishment disciples, but they have to listen to enough basic lessons for ten years before they are considered to have ended their status as new disciples.”
Xu Chuniang nodded, as the Qi Practicing Stage had a three year protection period, Foundation Establishment cultivators had a ten year long protection period.
During this period of time, newly foundation-built disciples could concentrate on cultivation and enjoy all sorts of benefits.
After the ten year protection period, it was time to pay the sect contribution.
However, Xu Chuniang’s sect contribution points were nearly two hundred thousand, and based on a deduction of three hundred per year, it would take more than six hundred years for the deduction to be completed.
Of course, this was just the ideal state, in fact, cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage would cost a lot of resources.
Two hundred thousand contribution points looked like a lot, but in reality, they couldn’t even be exchanged for half a Golden Yuan Dan.
But at least for a short period of time, Xu Chuniang didn’t have to worry about contribution points.
After bidding farewell to her master, Xu Chuniang walked behind a Qi Practicing Stage disciple towards the Hall of Miscellaneous Goods.
The steward of the Miscellaneous Hall was a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and after learning that Xu Chuniang was the Peak Master’s newest disciple, a smile instantly piled up on her face.
“Good day senior sister Xu, my surname is Ji, you can just call me senior brother Ji.”
“Good day senior brother Ji.”
Steward Ji took out a storage ring, “This is the sect’s welfare for new foundation disciples, please ask Senior Sister Xu to keep it.”
Xu Chuniang took the storage ring and poked a strand of divine sense inside.
Inside, aside from the Foundation Establishment Technique of the Easy Technique, and two sets of inner disciple vestments, there was also the Sword Royalty Technique, as well as some other things.
She didn’t look at it in detail and put it on her hand in a smooth manner.
“As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Senior Sister Xu can pick a place to build a cave on her own. This Little Witch Mountain is an extremely good choice.”
Steward Ji took out a map, introducing the benefits of Little Witch Mountain.
“Not only is this place full of spiritual qi, but it’s also vast and sparsely populated, the only drawback is that it’s a bit remote. But such a little distance is nothing to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.”
Xu Chuniang looked carefully and realized that the place recommended by Steward Ji was indeed to her liking.
In terms of aura abundance, Little Witch Mountain was no worse than Great Witch Mountain.
However, the entire Little Witch Mountain only housed six cultivators, much more spacious than the Great Witch Mountain which housed nearly a quarter of the cultivators of Thousand Chance Peak.
“This is it.”
Steward Ji laughed and marked the map, indicating that this area was already occupied.
“After becoming a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the clan will reward us with two bottles of top-grade Peiyuan Dan at once for our cultivation. On top of that, we can also receive a subsidy of one thousand spirit stones every year. This benefit, however, can only be enjoyed during the first ten years of protection.”
Saying this, Steward Ji placed the pills and a bag of spirit stones on the table.
“Senior Sister Xu, this is your share for the first year. Once you pass the ten-year protection period, the sect will not issue any more benefits, and you will also need to pay three hundred contribution points per year to the sect. During the new disciple period, you can go to the main peak to listen to classes, including the Sword Royal Art, there are relevant courses offered.”
“Many thanks to Senior Brother Ji for mentioning this.” Xu Chuniang nodded and put away the pills and spirit stones.
As a second-grade lower-grade elixir, the Peiyuan Dan was precious as a single one would be able to offset an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s hard training for a month.
The market price of a top-grade Peiyuan Dan was usually around eight hundred spirit stones.
In other words, these two small bottles of Peiyuan Dan were worth nearly twenty thousand spirit stones.
Steward Ji smiled faintly and said half-jokingly.
“These are just things mentioned in passing, nothing to be thankful for. As the Peak Master’s disciple, Senior Sister Xu has a great future ahead of her, so it’s not unlikely that in the future, I’ll have to rely on Senior Sister to lift me up.”
“Senior Brother Ji is joking.”
Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but smile, having some good feelings about Senior Brother Ji’s straightforwardness.
After refusing Senior Brother Ji’s escort, she walked alone towards the stage boat.
She hadn’t had time to learn the Sword Royal Art yet, so she could only rely on paper cranes to get to Little Wushan.
After Xu Chuniang’s figure completely disappeared, in the Hall of Sundry Things, a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Practicing revealed a puzzled look in his eyes.
“Father, why did you give that cave on Little Witch Mountain to her ah, a lot of masters and uncles in that cave have asked you for it, you didn’t give it, now give it out won’t it offend people?”
Steward Ji smiled faintly, “I’ll give it out now, and only then will I be considered not to have offended anyone.”
Little Wushan this piece of land, I don’t know how many people are hot.
These people are either the disciples of Jindan cultivators or the relatives of Jindan cultivators, and Steward Ji is holding this piece of land in his hands, so it’s really not a good idea to give it to anyone.
After all, to one of them, the rest did not get this piece of land, if this matter to hold a grudge on him, it would not be worth the loss.
Although he has a late stage Foundation cultivation, but one has no background, the second has no superior qualifications, in this Thousand Chance Peak, act must be more cautious.
That’s why Steward Ji would rather pinch this piece of land in his hands than hand it over easily.
But now the situation is different, Xu Chuniang as the peak master’s disciple came out of nowhere, got this piece of land, others do not dare to have any comments.
After all, Xu Chuniang was the Peak Master’s disciple, and if even she wasn’t qualified to use this piece of land, others would undoubtedly be even less qualified.
After listening to his own father’s explanation, a look of sudden realization appeared on the seventh level Qi Practicing cultivator’s face.
“So father is killing two birds with one stone, both solving the dilemma and throwing the hot potato in his hand, as well as making good friends with the Peak Master disciple.”
Steward Ji smiled faintly, “Not bad, this is supposed to be a mutually beneficial thing for me and her, so why not be happy about it.”
The truth was just as Steward Ji expected, after those people learned that the land on Little Witch Mountain was divided among the Peak Master’s newest disciples, this matter was left unsettled.
Xu Chuniang didn’t realize that the place Steward Ji had recommended to her had been on the minds of many people.
After flying to Little Witch Mountain on a paper crane from Thousand Opportunities Peak, she returned the paper crane at the stage boat and headed towards the place she had chosen on the map.
Little Witch Mountain was divided into a yang side and a yin side, and the yang side, which had more abundant spiritual qi, had been occupied by five Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The yin side, where Xu Chuniang was going, was only inhabited by one cultivator.
The Yin side had much less spiritual qi than the Yang side, and was only able to provide two Foundation Establishment cultivators with cultivation.
That was why no one else would come here to set up a cave since her.
Xu Chuniang climbed up to a high place and looked into the distance, and saw that her neighbor on the same Yin side had set up his cave in the south, and then walked towards the north.
She didn’t stop until she was several miles away, choosing to excavate her cave halfway up the mountainside to the north.
