Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: The Surge in Spiritual Energy Density and Breakthrough in Cultivation Base

Outside the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect, it was bustling with activity. The atmosphere was much more lively and grand than during the usual times when disciples were being recruited.

There were three hundred and ninety thousand surrendered disciples from the Lingxiao Sect! Among them, three hundred thousand were unranked servant disciples, while more than eighty thousand were formal disciples, and of those formal disciples, nearly half had yet to achieve Qi Refining. In addition, there were a small number of Elder stewards.

These individuals, especially the Elder stewards, usually held high positions; on ordinary days, they walked with their noses in the air, expecting to be addressed as “Immortal Master” with respect. But now, they had been captured by the Heavenly Dao Sect, forced to lower their heads and endure the remarks and criticisms from those around them.

Such a significant event attracted many citizens from Yunshui City, who were there to observe the scene and couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

“Look, isn’t that the esteemed Immortal Master of the Lingxiao Sect? Why does everyone seem so downtrodden today?”

“I remember a few months ago, a formal disciple from the Lingxiao Sect came to my inn, and I treated him to good food and drink for several days, yet he didn’t leave me even a single silver coin!”

“What’s that worth? One time, a disciple from the Lingxiao Sect borrowed dozens of silver coins from me, claiming it was a loan, but he slammed his big sword on the table—could I refuse?”

“Enough already! Just the other day, an Elder dined at my restaurant and found the food unsatisfactory; he ended up demolishing my establishment on the spot!”

Various discussions filled the air—mockery, laughter, disdain, and contempt—expressions of all kinds were present!

“The Sect Master is back!”

Someone shouted, immediately capturing the attention of countless onlookers. In the sky, a massive mountain was slowly moving toward them, and Su Bai, with his hands behind his back, was accompanied by a young boy beside him.

“Oh my, I’ve never felt a distance of a thousand miles could be so far—I’m exhausted!”

Under the mountain, the Fire Qilin carried the massive mountain on its back, looking utterly exhausted. Clearly, this weight was almost too much for it to bear!

A High-Grade Spirit Vein!

Bigger, heavier, and there’s more!

Of course, it was much heavier than Lingxiao Mountain; when carrying Lingxiao Mountain, the Fire Qilin managed just fine, but now it was different.

“You’ve done a great job this time. When we return, I’ll prepare a Spirit Pool for you to soak in,” Su Bai said with a light smile. Upon hearing this, the Fire Qilin’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Hey, it’s just a small mountain. I’ve got plenty of strength!” The Fire Qilin regained its spirit, its speed suddenly soaring.

That was a Spirit Pool!

It was made up entirely of pure spiritual liquid, and not just any Nascent Soul Sect Master could even dream of it; many Divine Transformation powers couldn’t reach such heights! The spiritual liquid in the Spirit Pool, if casually stored in a jade bottle, could fetch sky-high prices; many disciples from powerful sects hesitated to use it, pouring just a drop or two during bathtime due to the pain of wasting it.

“Hey, after soaking in the bath and strengthening my body, I might just be able to advance to the Intermediate Stage of the Fourth Rank!”

The Fire Qilin felt an inner joy, filled with anticipation for the future. Previously, it had just advanced to a Fourth Rank monster when it was captured by a powerful human being to serve as a mount for his disciple.

To prevent rebellion, not only had the path of further advancement been sealed, but a curse had also been placed; reciting the incantation would cause it excruciating headaches.

Moreover, it had been abused daily, with no hope for the future overhead.

Now, having come to the Heavenly Dao Sect, not only was the seal lifted, but it also hadn’t been cursed. It was enjoying a life of luxury, with abundant spiritual energy in the sect, allowing for rapid cultivation.

And now, it could soak in the Spirit Pool!

Previously, even that powerful human disciple didn’t have this privilege!

“Boom!”

Soon, Su Bai and the Fire Qilin returned to the territory of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

At that moment, the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the sky.

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

“Greetings, Sect Master!”

Having defeated the Lingxiao Sect undoubtedly elevated the disciples’ admiration to new heights. With the Sect Master’s return, their morale surged, and everyone felt like jumping and cheering.

“Ahem, quiet!”

Su Bai lightly cleared his throat, and instantly, the place fell silent.

“Everyone, it might get a bit noisy next, so please be patient!”

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Heavenly Dao Mountain slowly rose from the ground, ascending toward the sky.

Then, with another wave of his hand, the Fire Qilin felt a sudden lightness on its back, revealing an expression of relief.

The mountain it carried was being controlled by Su Bai and gradually buried deep underground at the Heavenly Dao Sect.

This was a High-Grade Spirit Vein, so it was definitely more appropriate to place it beneath Heavenly Dao Mountain!

Since the sect’s territory expanded outward from the core of Heavenly Dao Mountain, after burying the High-Grade Spirit Vein deep underground, Heavenly Dao Mountain slowly descended back to its original position.

Then, he released half of the area of the High-Grade Spirit Vein, focusing particularly on the zones of Lower Grade and Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones.

High-Grade and Supreme Grade Spirit Stones were too rare and would be kept for greater use.

Even without the spiritual energy released by the High-Grade and Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, the energy released from this High-Grade Spirit Vein was still about thirty percent!

It was equivalent to the Spiritual Energy released by thirty Intermediate Grade Spirit Veins, all without producing Spirit Stones!

It matched that of three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Veins!

In an instant, the concentration of Spiritual Energy within the Heavenly Dao Sect skyrocketed by an unknown number of times!

Even the flowers, plants, and trees of the Heavenly Dao Sect began to grow wildly, increasing significantly in just a blink of an eye!

The Spirit Grass, in particular, became incredibly lush, with a remarkable improvement in quality!

A faint white mist emerged above the Heavenly Dao Sect, formed by the purest condensed Spiritual Energy!

“I’ve broken through…”

“What dense Spiritual Energy!”

“Oh my!”

Feeling the rich Spiritual Energy surrounding them, all the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect trembled with excitement!

With this level of Spiritual Energy concentration, how could any cave heavens or blessed lands, or ancient sacred clans compare?

Even those superpowers might possess High Grade Spirit Veins, but would they be willing to provide such resources for ordinary disciples to cultivate?

Only the Heavenly Dao Sect treats everyone equally!

Under the overwhelming density of Spiritual Energy, coupled with each disciple holding a copy of the extraordinary Immortal Technique, there was no need for excessive time to refine; many disciples who were stuck at certain realms broke through at this moment!

Within the Heavenly Dao Sect, sounds of breakthroughs were occurring everywhere, with some successfully refining Qi, while others advanced from the First Layer to the Second Layer…

In just a quarter of an hour, the number of disciples breaking through exceeded ten thousand!

And Su Bai, in response to this overwhelming feedback, continuously broke through his own cultivation, advancing from the Fourth Layer of Golden Core to the Sixth Layer.

“Wow, the Heaven-Ranked Cultivation Room in the Lingxiao Sect costs one thousand two hundred silver for just one day’s cultivation, and its Spiritual Energy concentration is not even one percent of what’s here!”

“Am I still dreaming?”

“I heard the story of the Heavenly Dao Sect last month and thought it was all bragging. I went to the Lingxiao Sect to be a handyman, and now I feel like such a fool!”

The hundreds of thousands of captured disciples from the Lingxiao Sect were now as stunned as if they had seen a ghost. Some of them had initially hoped to find an opportunity to escape, but upon witnessing this scene, their thoughts changed in an instant. Forget escaping; even being a beggar here would be a million times better than being a formal disciple at the Lingxiao Sect!
