Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Loyalty Below Sixty, Cannot Join

“Who… exactly are you?” Xiao Xi’er finally began to look at Su Bai seriously.

Su Bai saw through her, while she knew nothing about him.

This feeling made her heart race; could this youth truly be some hidden old monster who had come out to experience the world?

“I am Xiao Yan’s Master, who do you think I am?” Su Bai replied with a light chuckle.

Xiao Xi’er fell silent, and just at that moment, Xiao Yan happened to walk out of the Immortal Law Pavilion.

“Master, I have found an Immortal Technique suitable for me!”

As soon as he came out, he knelt before Su Bai with a scroll in hand, looking ecstatic.

“Hmm, very good!” Su Bai nodded. He already knew about the events in the Immortal Law Pavilion.

Body Refining was also a path with immense potential!

“Brother Xiao Yan can cultivate now?” Xiao Xi’er was once again stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

Xiao Yan’s physical condition was something even Uncle Ying couldn’t solve, let alone provide a method for cultivation!

“Master, how much Silver is required to cultivate this Immortal Technique?” Xiao Yan asked eagerly.

Although he knew that the Hongmeng Body Refining Technique was precious and the Silver required might be beyond his means, he still wanted to give it a try.

He was willing to give anything in exchange to be able to cultivate!

“Every disciple who joins a Sect can choose an Immortal Technique for free, so there’s naturally no need for Silver,” Su Bai replied, shaking his head.

“Free?” Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then filled with excitement as he hurriedly knelt before Su Bai, saying, “Master, allow me to bow down to you once again.”

“Alright, go ahead and cultivate. Strive to reach the Flesh Body Realm as soon as possible,” Su Bai waved his hand.

The realm of Body Refining starts with the physical body, and the Flesh Body Realm has nine layers, corresponding to the nine layers of Qi Refining.

“Thank you, Master.” Xiao Yan stood up respectfully and left.

He then sat cross-legged and carefully began to read the Hongmeng Body Refining Technique in his hands.

However, when he saw the first page, he drew in a sharp breath.

A quarter of an hour of running ten miles with a 100-jin weight!

A continuous set of a hundred push-ups with 100-jin weight!

A hundred lashes with a whip without pause!

Only after completing the above tasks could one have the strength of the flesh necessary to officially cultivate! (Note: In the world of cultivation, the physical condition of ordinary people is generally higher than normal.)

Even for someone with Xiao Yan’s willpower and endurance, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead after this set of tasks.

Xiao Xi’er also saw the training content and instantly felt a shiver run through her body.

Could an ordinary person who had never cultivated be able to complete this?

“Xiao Yan, why don’t you just give up on cultivating?” she urged with concern.

If this set of training continues, he might lose half his life, right?

Even Xiao Yan felt a bit frightened; he had only faced strange looks from others since childhood and had never really endured such hardships. How could he withstand this kind of torment?

Su Bai cast a glance at the two of them and said with a faint smile, “What’s wrong? Do you want to continue being trampled by Liu Yanran three years from now?”

“Uh…” Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, his fists cracking with tension.

In the end, tightly gripping the scroll, he declared word by word, “I want to become stronger, I want to defeat Liu Yanran!”

“I want to prove that I, Xiao Yan, am not inferior to anyone!”

His eyes turned red, and his entire face looked purple from holding back. He clearly shouted with all his might.

After finishing, he immediately got up and began to run around the foot of the Heavenly Dao Sect mountain.

He needed to prove himself, he needed to get stronger!

At that moment, Su Bai glanced over to see Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi watching from the side, and he said, “Go and cultivate. The strength of the Sect depends on your efforts.”

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi did not prepare to train but instead looked towards Xiao Xi’er beside them.

It was evident that their Immortal Techniques were so exceptional that if seen by outsiders…

“It’s fine, our Heavenly Dao Sect’s Immortal Techniques are neither stolen nor robbed, so there’s no need to avoid anyone.” Su Bai said with a smile.

Hearing Su Bai’s words, Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Xiao Xi’er looked dazed, somewhat unable to comprehend the situation.

Do they have to avoid her while practicing Immortal Techniques?

What, are your Immortal Techniques stronger than my family’s?

You should know, the family I come from is an unimaginable giant throughout the entire Continent!

Even a mere doorkeeper from my family could dominate in this Great Zhao Kingdom!

She didn’t even bother to glance at the core Immortal Techniques of the Lingxiao Sect and Yuntian Sect; why would she care about such trash?

“Hmph, acting all high and mighty, I want to see just how impressive your Heavenly Dao Sect’s Immortal Techniques really are!”

She scoffed inwardly, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi, afraid to miss any details.

“One, two, three…….”

Just as she counted to three, her expression changed.

Her perspective was far superior to Xiao Lingxi’s, and she understood some top-tier Immortal Techniques much more deeply.

It’s too fast!

The circulation of the Spiritual Energy is too rapid!

Such a fast circulation implies almost no impurities; its quality is unimaginably high!

Moreover, the colors and properties of the Spiritual Energy they were channeling were different, clearly indicating two completely distinct Immortal Techniques.

“Twenty… twenty breaths per cycle, this is the legendary supreme technique that my father spoke of!”

“And… there are two of them!”

“How is that possible…?” Xiao Xi’er felt utterly shocked, her delicate face turning bright red.

It’s simply incredible!

Moreover, isn’t this forbidden Immortal Technique something that only direct bloodline relatives can cultivate? For example, in her family, the highest Immortal Technique can only be practiced by her father and herself; others practice different Immortal Techniques to prevent any leakage of secrets. But in the Heavenly Dao Sect, an ordinary disciple can cultivate such a transcendent Immortal Technique? This… Are they really that good to their disciples?

“Um… Can I join the Heavenly Dao Sect?” she suddenly spoke up.

She looked at Su Bai with a hint of apprehension. Su Bai glanced at her in surprise before shaking his head. Because in front of him, a line of text appeared.

Loyalty to the sect is below sixty; unable to join!!! (Note: ‘loyalty’ may sound a bit harsh, it will gradually change to ‘favorability’ after around forty chapters.)

This was the first time he discovered this limitation because previously, whether it was Zhuge Feng, Xiao Lingxi, or Xiao Yan, their loyalty was all above sixty. Especially when Xiao Yan joined the sect, he had seventy, and after obtaining the Immortal Technique, it immediately rose to eighty, showing that a loyalty of sixty isn’t particularly high.

In other words, someone without even sixty loyalty doesn’t take the sect seriously at all! How could such a person possibly join a sect?

“Sigh…” Xiao Xi’er let out a sigh, feeling quite disappointed, although she didn’t press the issue further. After all, her time here was limited.

Within the family, there are still disputes that she needs to balance. Su Bai, however, looked at Xiao Yan running at the foot of the mountain, then at Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi who were diligently cultivating, and couldn’t help but smile to himself. The upgrade task of recruiting three disciples had been completed, and he only needed the last 10 points to reach a total of one hundred Sect Points. The sect upgrade was all set; it just lacked the points!
