Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Xiao Lingxi’s Immortal Techniques

As Xiao Lingxi entered the Immortal Law Pavilion, she was like a curious little cat, looking around with wide eyes.

When she saw the countless Immortal Technique scrolls floating around the room, she was immediately stunned.

Unlike Zhuge Feng, she came from a prominent family and was well-versed with much knowledge.

The more Immortal Techniques there were and the better their quality, the more they reflected a sect’s strength!

The Lingxiao Sect was strong enough, right?

But its number of Immortal Techniques didn’t exceed a hundred!

Yet in front of her, the Immortal Law Pavilion contained well over ten thousand Immortal Technique scrolls!

This was no mere Immortal Law Pavilion; it was completely like a precious treasure trove!

Xiao Lingxi’s excited body trembled slightly, overwhelmed by so many Immortal Techniques that she didn’t know which one to choose.

“Please place your hand on the Stone Platform in front of you.”

Seemingly noticing that Xiao Lingxi was unsure how to choose, the Guardian Spirit of the Immortal Law Pavilion spoke up.

“Who… who is speaking?”

Just like Zhuge Feng before her, Xiao Lingxi was taken aback and looked around.

“I am the Guardian Spirit of the Immortal Law Pavilion, there’s no need to be afraid.”

The Guardian Spirit’s voice echoed: “According to the rules of the sect, each new disciple who joins our Heavenly Dao Sect can select one Immortal Technique.”

“If you want to choose on your own, you can freely select any Immortal Technique scroll. If you would like me to choose for you, please place your hand on the Stone Stele in front of you.”

“Guardian Spirit? The legendary spirit of magical artifacts?”Xiao Lingxi was once again dumbfounded.

On the Continent, artifacts possessing spiritual consciousness were definitely considered among the most powerful existences!

And those who had artifacts with spirits were undoubtedly the top experts on the Continent!

At the very least, she had never heard of any artifact spirits within the Lingxiao Sect!

“Master didn’t deceive me; he truly might not fear the Lingxiao Sect!”

Xiao Lingxi thought to herself. After taking a deep breath to suppress the shock in her heart and calming down, she carefully walked towards the Stone Platform.

She placed her hand on the Stone Pillar.

Buzz—

With a slight tremor, light illuminated the Stone Platform, and a scroll slowly emerged. At the same time, the Guardian Spirit’s voice rang out again.

“You have an active personality and a playful disposition; this is the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra: Qi Refining Chapter, which can yield a stronger cultivation effect combined with your constitution.”

“Jade Maiden Heart Sutra? Is this what Senior Brother Zhuge is cultivating too? No, no, no, it sounds like it’s meant for women to practice.”

Xiao Lingxi mumbled, and after picking up the scroll, she asked, “Guardian Spirit, is the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra the most powerful Immortal Technique of the Heavenly Dao Sect?”

“Can practicing this allow me to complete a hundred Zhoutian Circles in one hour?”

Xiao Lingxi asked expectantly, still unable to forget about completing a hundred circles.

“There is no strongest Immortal Technique, only the most suitable Immortal Technique. If one only pursues the strongest and practices an Immortal Technique unsuitable for them, how far can they go?”

The Guardian Spirit’s voice conveyed.

“Hmm, I understand. Thank you, Guardian Spirit.”

Xiao Lingxi respectfully bowed her head towards the Stone Platform before leaving.

“How is it? Have you found a suitable Immortal Technique?”

Seeing Xiao Lingxi joyfully walk out, Su Bai asked with a smile, already knowing the answer in his heart.

“I have found it, Master. I’m off to practice now!” Xiao Lingxi replied, unable to hide her inner joy, her voice clear and pleasant.

After saying this, she hurriedly bowed to Su Bai and sought out a quiet place to begin practicing the Immortal Technique she had just received.

“This girl is rather impatient,” Su Bai chuckled, shaking his head.

Zhuge Feng added, “Master, since Junior Sister has started cultivating, I also wish to seize this time to practice diligently. Please grant me permission.”

Su Bai nodded and said, “If you want to cultivate, then go ahead. The Sect has no tasks right now, so there’s no need to report to me.”

“Yes, Master!”

With permission granted, Zhuge Feng turned and left, finding an empty corner to calm down and concentrate on his training.

Watching his two disciples enter their cultivation states, Su Bai’s gaze shifted to the Sect upgrade conditions.

To upgrade from a 1-Star Sect to a 2-Star Sect, three disciples with a loyalty level of 60 and a hundred Sect Points were required!

A loyalty level of 60 is not very high; both Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi have already reached 80.

Oh no, hold on. Now it’s actually 85!

Su Bai realized that in just this short amount of time, the loyalty levels of Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi had risen.

As for the Sect Points, Zhuge Feng received a reward of 10 points for his breakthrough, so it seems that as long as a disciple’s cultivation base breaks through, they can gain Sect Points.

However, he didn’t know if it was 10 points for each breakthrough or if the points awarded varied based on the level of the cultivation base.

In that case, to upgrade to a 2-Star Sect, he still needs to accept one more disciple whose loyalty level is above 60!

Seeing that both Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi had entered their cultivation states, Su Bai shook his head, thinking that he would wait for the two to train for a while and stabilize their cultivation before looking for new disciples.

“…Eighteen, nineteen, twenty!”

While practicing, Xiao Lingxi murmured to herself. When she silently counted to twenty, the absorbed Spiritual Energy had just completed a full cycle through her meridians.

One hour, one hundred Zhoutian Cycles!

Yet another astounding Immortal Technique!

Moreover, she discovered that the Spiritual Energy absorbed into her body required no refinement or purification at all!

This meant that achieving one hundred Zhoutian Cycles in one hour was indeed the strongest Immortal Technique!

Because there was no need for purification, it saved several times the time—it was no wonder that Senior Brother Zhuge could refine Qi overnight.

Xiao Lingxi’s shock was understandable; such a remarkable Immortal Technique was sought after by powerful sects, yet the Heavenly Dao Sect had two of them!

No, it must be more than just two!

The Immortal Law Pavilion has so many Immortal Techniques, so there must be plenty of other extraordinary ones hidden within!

Thinking this, she opened her eyes and looked in a certain direction, where she saw Su Bai standing in the sunlight, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the clouds.

The sunlight bathed Su Bai, making him appear to be enveloped in a golden glow, looking exceptionally radiant.

In that moment, Xiao Lingxi’s heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.

Such precious Immortal Techniques were not for just anyone; it turned out that Master was truly magnificent!

………..

Three days later, at the Lingxiao Sect, in a certain room.

“Where is she? I’m asking you, where is Xiao Lingxi? A bunch of worthless fools! A bunch of useless eaters!”

A young man with a somewhat sickly pale complexion was roaring with rage.

Before him knelt several stewards, trembling and lowering their heads, afraid to look up.

“Young Master, Deacon Li said that Xiao Lingxi has run away. He took a few disciples to search for her, but now, there hasn’t been any news for three days…”

One of the stewards said with a stiff neck, speaking cautiously.

Upon hearing this, the pale-faced young man immediately exploded with fury!

“Useless, useless, all of you are useless! I instructed you to bring her back, and instead, you let her slip away from me!”

The stewards who were scolded trembled even more.

They knew very well the temper of this spoiled young master; he could kill them without a second thought, and no one would advocate for them.

“Where did she go missing? Go find her! No matter what the cost, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must bring her back to me!!”

“If you can’t find her, don’t bother coming back!”

The pale-faced young man shouted fiercely.

At these words, the stewards immediately shuddered.

Not returning was not as simple as just being unable to find her; it meant they wouldn’t return to this world!

One steward broke the deadlock first, responding tremblingly, “Yes… this subordinate obeys!”

The other stewards did not dare hesitate, quickly rising and leaving.

Once everyone had departed, a cruel and vicious light flashed in the eyes of the pale-faced young man.

“Damn you, how dare you run away? Once I catch you, I will make sure you regret it, experiencing a fate worse than death at the hands of this Young Master!”

“Hmph, the woman I, the Young Master, have set my sights on, no matter where you try to escape to, I will find you and make you obediently be my plaything!”

“No one can escape from my grasp!”

“No one!!”
