Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Immense Wealth, Golden Core Formation!

Inside the Great Hall, Su Bai gazed at the ten Storage Rings before him with shining eyes.

He had merely glanced at them outside, but now upon closer inspection, he realized just how vast the resources within these ten Storage Rings truly were!

The first Storage Ring contained one hundred million taels of silver, ten million taels of gold, ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!

Just the first Storage Ring alone held such an enormous amount of resources!

This equated to several months’ worth of income for a major force in the Nascent Soul stage!

“Wait a minute… what is this?”

Suddenly, Su Bai discovered that the back of this Storage Ring was engraved with two small characters.

“Lingxiao…”

Su Bai read it softly, and his expression turned strange immediately.

This Storage Ring seemed to belong to the Lingxiao Sect?

This amount…

The number that Gao Kepan had requested from the Heavenly Dao Sect…

Quickly, Su Bai arrived at a conclusion in his heart.

This Storage Ring was a tribute from the Lingxiao Sect to Gao Kepan’s Master!

“Haha, Lingxiao Sect, you never would have anticipated that these resources would end up in my hands, right?”

“Regardless, I must thank you for delivering such wealth!”

Su Bai laughed heartily, feeling an overwhelming sense of joy!

Using the Lingxiao Sect’s resources to cultivate his own sect’s disciples and then going after the Lingxiao Sect—just the thought of it was extremely satisfying!

Would the leader of the Lingxiao Sect spew blood upon hearing this?

Then, Su Bai turned his gaze toward the second Storage Ring.

It contained one hundred million taels of silver, ten million taels of gold, ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones… and an extra crystal-clear High Grade Spirit Stone!

“Another one hundred million taels of silver; it seems this is also a protection fee submitted by a Nascent Soul Level Sect!”

“Gao Kepan is about to enter the Nascent Soul Realm, and the High Grade Spirit Stone is perfect for cultivation at that level. It seems this sect is a little smarter than the Lingxiao Sect and knows how to curry favor with the disciples of the Heavenly Palace.”

One High Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, which in turn equal ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones!

And while their values are equal, there aren’t many fools willing to exchange a single High Grade Spirit Stone for a hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!

Rare items are precious; High Grade Spirit Stones can only be produced in small quantities—one or two each year—from either a High Grade Spirit Vein or the core of a Middle Grade Spirit Vein.

As for Middle Grade Spirit Veins, the Great Zhao Empire has yet to discover any.

Even Lower Grade Spirit Veins are scarce, with only three, occupied by the Lingxiao Sect, Yuntian Sect, and the Imperial family.

But now, the Heavenly Dao Sect also had a Lower Grade Spirit Vein underground.

Because the Empire does not have any Middle Grade Spirit Veins, High Grade Spirit Stones are even more valuable.

At auction, a single High Grade Spirit Stone could sell for several hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!

“Unfortunately, your calculations were off; now, all these things belong to my Heavenly Dao Sect!”

A smile tugged at the corners of Su Bai’s mouth as he looked at the remaining eight Storage Rings.

“This trip will net me a fortune!”

“Not to mention just killing a disciple of the Heavenly Palace; even if I smashed the Heavenly Palace to bits, it would still be worth it!”

Then, Su Bai searched through the remaining eight Storage Rings one by one.

Among the remaining eight Storage Rings, three contained items identical to those in the previous Lingxiao Sect Storage Ring!

In other words, adding the Lingxiao Sect’s protection fee, there were a total of five Nascent Soul Level forces’ “protection fees”! Moreover, the items in the last four Storage Rings were significantly fewer, only about ten percent of what the Nascent Soul Level forces had, suggesting they were likely from a powerful Golden Core Level force’s “protection fee!”

However, that’s not the main point! The final Storage Ring contains the real treasure! Along with a significant amount of gold, silver, and Spirit Stones, there are numerous precious items! A High Grade Spirit Artifact Chainmail, a High Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Boat, a High Grade Spirit Artifact Crimson Helmet, and a Boundary Breaking Talisman!

Just the High Grade Spirit Artifacts for the Nascent Soul Level alone amount to three pieces, plus the spear in Su Bai’s hand makes four, and it forms a complete set, fully armed to the teeth!

A complete set of Nascent Soul Level Spirit Treasures! Any Nascent Soul expert who sees this would be green with envy! Many Nascent Soul experts even use Intermediate Grade Spirit Artifacts! The Boundary Breaking Talisman is especially rare for saving one’s life, allowing instant escape over a million miles.

With this set, if one wanted to kill Gao Kepan, who is at the Great Perfection Golden Core Realm, even someone at the Divine Transformation stage may not be able to hold him down without a surprise attack!

Unfortunately, he encountered Su Bai! After killing a Core Disciple of the Heavenly Palace, Su Bai’s wealth skyrocketed more than tenfold!

【Host】

Name: Su Bai

Age: 18

Realm: Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer

Items: High Grade Spirit Stones: 1, Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones: 748, Lower Grade Spirit Stones: 109,380, Gold: over sixty million taels, Silver: six hundred million taels.

“This is just the protection fees from nine forces, and it adds up to so much; I wonder about the entire Immortal Alliance…”

Su Bai’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

In the entire Immortal Alliance, there are more than ten thousand Sects!

The worst among them are at the Golden Core level!

There are over a thousand forces at the Nascent Soul level!

There are even many Divine Transformation stage and super forces above that!

If all of them were taken down, the amount of wealth would be unimaginable.

………..

After Gao Kepan’s death, the Heavenly Palace’s retaliation did not come; perhaps it was due to the vast distance or perhaps Su Bai’s display of strength that instilled fear in the Zhenyang Venerable.

Meanwhile, the Lingxiao Sect fell completely silent, wary of confronting the Heavenly Dao Sect directly.

In the following days, the Heavenly Dao Sect’s scale continued to grow, with the number of disciples increasing day by day, and its reputation rising ever higher.

Disciples like Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi eradicated all bandits within hundreds of miles and established rules within that same area forbidding unnecessary killings!

Even if they are slaves or servants, they are still human!

These actions brought countless cheers from the populace, and the Heavenly Dao Sect’s prestige climbed sharply.

Everyone knew that the rise of the Heavenly Dao Sect had become unstoppable!

After distributing silver once again at the end of the month, Su Bai checked the disciple information again.

[Disciple Information]

Number of Disciples: 31,314

Mortal: 19,353 (…….)

Qi Refining Level 1: 10,520 (…………)

Qi Refining Second Layer: 1,256 people (……..)

Qi Refining Third Layer: 168 people (Zhang Goudan, Li Gousheng …….)

Qi Refining Fourth Layer: 12 people (Liu Tiezhu, Wang Ergou)

Qi Refining Fifth Layer: 2 people (Xiao Yan, Ye Qingyao)

Qi Refining Seventh Layer: 2 people (Xiao Lingxi, Mu Lingxian)

Qi Refining Ninth Layer: 1 person (Zhuge Feng)

With so many disciples achieving success in Qi Refining and breaking through their realms, Su Bai had also reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer ten days ago!

Over these ten days, his strength had been increasing daily, but his realm had been blocked by a significant barrier.

“Bang!”

A sound came, and when Su Bai looked over, he saw Xiao Yan running hard with his upper body bare.

He had once again broken through in his Body Refining realm, finally surpassing the mortal body Ye Qingyao and reaching the Body Refining Sixth Layer!

With his breakthrough, Su Bai also felt that a barrier within him had been forcefully broken through.

In the situation where qualitative changes were brought about by quantitative ones, he, too, had finally broken through to Foundation Establishment and stepped into the Golden Core Realm!

The heavenly tribulation descends, the Golden Core forms, a lifespan of five hundred years; from now on, my fate is in my hands, not controlled by heaven!

Of course, for Su Bai, his Golden Core did not require facing a heavenly tribulation!

“Master, I feel that my foundation is sufficient and I want to break into the Foundation Establishment realm!”

Zhuge Feng approached and respectfully bowed to Su Bai.

“Mm, go ahead, no one will disturb you.”

Su Bai waved his hand and said,

“Thank you, Master!” Zhuge Feng bowed respectfully and withdrew.

Watching Zhuge Feng’s retreating figure, a hint of brilliance appeared again in Su Bai’s eyes.

After nearly two months, was the Heavenly Dao Sect finally about to level up again?

How much further would the 3-Star Sect’s unmatched range extend…?
