Just a Stroke of Luck

However, in Qingzhou, the connection between immortals and mortals is too shallow.

The Three Great Factions, including Qingzhou, allow mortal nations to proliferate freely, and even prohibit cultivators from small sects and independent cultivators from participating in the struggles of mortal forces to a certain extent.

The apprenticeship model places too much emphasis on fortuitous opportunity, and the old concept of separating oneself from ordinary people is deeply ingrained.

Therefore, it was only because Su Bai was a direct descendant of the royal family that he had the opportunity to go to the Jade Mist Sect to test his Spirit Root and become Disciple the Jade Mist Sect.

Ordinary Collateral Line the family would never have the opportunity to be escorted by Innate Master across more than a dozen countries to the Jade Mist Sect to have their Spirit Root tested.

"If we really want to establish Nation-and-Family Cultivation model, convincing the three major sects will be a troublesome matter."

"But that's something that will happen later when things start to take off."

It's too early to talk about all of this now.

Su Bai waited at a Drill Ground in the Imperial Palace.

The Empress personally gave the order, and although the young people of the Su Family didn't understand it, they still gathered and rushed into the Drill Ground immediately.

Su Bai is now Cultivator at the Peak Foundation Establishment, and his Divine Sense far surpasses that of ordinary Cultivator.

And the targets of the testing are all ordinary people.

Therefore, the methods for detecting Spirit Root are extremely fast.

By enveloping the target's body with one's Divine Sense for a moment, one can quickly determine whether the target possesses Spirit Root by observing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

In this way, within the time it takes Su Bai to drink a cup of tea, tens of thousands of the Su Family members could have their Spirit Root tested.

Ultimately, four members of the Su Family were discovered, all possessing Spirit Root.

Su Bai kept the four people behind for further, more careful examination.

One person Three Spirit Root, and three others had Four Spirit Roots; none of these were particularly outstanding Spirit Root.

However, if it is only for the initial accumulation of cultivation power in the Lineage, it is already a very good detection rate.

Once these four individuals have achieved significant progress in their cultivation, they can, with the cooperation of the imperial court, conduct a long-term search for talented cultivators within the within Yan Kingdom.

Soon, the first batch of cultivator Household Retainer of the Su Family will be able to be gathered.

Of course, all of this is predicated on Su Bai having sufficient strength to keep these Household Retainer in check, so as to maintain the Su Family's dominant position.

Or, in the near future, we could simply use a forced model similar to the Master-Servant Contract of the Demon Race race.

As for the Han Family's model of directly bestowing surnames and absorbing outsiders into the main family, Su Bai still felt it was unreliable. If one or two Talent traitors emerged, the main family's status would inevitably be easily overturned.

Su Bai led four members of the Su Family to Su Yao.

Su Yao looked excited, but she had to maintain her image in front of others. "We actually found four promising cultivators?"

Although my Su Bai is strong, he's not by my side.

The four cultivators currently around mean that you'll have four cultivators from your own Lineage by your side in the future, which is much more comfortable than secretly recruiting unreliable rogue cultivators.

If Su Yao encounters cultivators from other countries again, she might not be seriously injured again.

Su Bai nodded slightly.

The four members of the Su Family Consciousness what was happening; their expressions were excited, but they dared not speak.

One is a high and mighty Empress, and the other is a legendary figure in royal legend who supposedly went to cultivate immortality.

What right do those four members of the Su Family's Collateral Line have to speak here?

Su Bai took out a Qi Refining Stage cultivation Method Formula he had found in someone else's Storage Bag in the Demon Star Sea. It was no worse than the Initial Qi Refining Method Formula of the Jade Mist Art, [Radiant Qi Refining Technique].

"This Method Formula is called the [Su Family Qi Refining Art]. From now on, it will be our Su Family's Qi Refining Method Formula."

"The Su Family will later be divided into two branches, the outer branch headed by the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, responsible for increasing the mortal population and expanding the territory; the Inner Household Family Head is responsible for matters related to the cultivation of immortality among the Lineage members, assisting the outer branch to a certain extent, and selecting talented cultivators within the country, etc..."

"The four of you constitute the initial generation of the Su Family Inner Family circle. You can disregard the seniority of the outer circle and are considered the first generation of disciples of the Inner Household."

"I will stay in the Imperial Palace for ten days to teach you Qi Refining, basic knowledge of the Cultivation World, and future cultivation of Spirit Plant."

Four members of the Su Family's Collateral Line, feeling a surge of good fortune, knelt before Su Bai and greeted him as "Family Head."

Although the four of them are close in age, their seniority is vastly different. One is Su Bai's Imperial Uncle, and the other is Su Bai's imperial grand-nephew. If they are further divided according to their maternal family seniority, then there is no way they can have a unified title.

Therefore, Su Bai directly used the generational numbers of the Inner Household to determine the seniority.

"I usually cultivate outside and rarely return home. In the Initial stage of the Su Family's development, the four of you will have a tough time, but I will find a way to make up for the lack of cultivation resources in the early stages of the Lineage's development."

"Furthermore, when I am not in the palace, Her Majesty acts as the head of the inner family. Even if you achieve success in your cultivation in the future, you must not disobey her without cause."

Su Bai stayed in the Imperial Palace for ten days.

After teaching them a simple method for cultivating Spirit Plant and a batch of low-grade Spirit Pills that could sustain the four of them for over a decade of cultivation, he took to his Sword Flight and flew towards the Jade Mist Sect.

A few days later.

Su Bai appeared outside the Jade Mist Sect Mountain Gate.

Su Bai changed into the purple robe of a True Disciple Elder of the Jade Mist Sect, hung the True Disciple Token on his waist, and leaped through the Sect Gate Magic Array.

The familiar Jade Mist Sect Sect's Azure Qingyun Mountain appeared before Su Bai's eyes.

At this moment, as Su Bai's cultivation level improved, the so-called Jade Cloud Peak— Qingyun Peak —was no longer so mysterious.

With Divine Sense, one can perceive that the Spirit Vein below the Jade Mist Sect are being guided to Qingyun Peak, making the Spiritual Qi there abundant.

Su Bai could vaguely sense the aura of Golden Core Cultivator emanating from Qingyun Peak.

Currently, the Jade Mist Sect has nine Golden Core Cultivator Golden Core Cultivator, which is the same number as the Xiao Family, one of the Four Great Clans of the Heavenly Star Alliance.

However, there is not a single Nascent Soul Cultivator above the Golden Core in the entire Qingzhou.

Among the many Golden Core in Qingzhou, Zhang Jingyun, the Sect Master of the Jade Mist Sect, is currently the most promising Nascent Soul to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. He has been honing his cultivation and Dao Heart and could break through to the Peak Golden Core at any time, triggering the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to advance.

Su Bai's return did not cause much of a stir.

For cultivators, spending six years away from home is perfectly normal.

Some Cultivator in sects, due to certain accidents or opportunities, may go away for decades or even centuries before returning.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Su Bai paused briefly in the air, and Law Enforcement Court Disciple swept past him. After recognizing the long robe and Jade Token on Su Bai's body, they all bowed respectfully.

Su Bai looked at the familiar attire of his Disciple and nodded slightly in response.

Afterwards, Su Bai sheathed the Soaring Dragon Sword and headed towards the Sword Academy.

Six years have passed.

The Sword Academy today is a far cry from what it used to be.

With over three hundred Disciple in the academy, the scene of the Jade Mist Sect Disciple disciples wielding Sword Control Technique is already quite common in the Qingzhou Cultivation World.

As Su Bai darted into the Sword Academy, Disciple in the Sword Academy's plaza recognized Su Bai.

"Deputy Academy Master Su is back!"

Some of the newly joined Disciple were puzzled but impressed, asking, "When did our Sword Academy get a vice Academy Master?"

"You don't know this, do you? Deputy Academy Master Su's Talent is extremely terrifying. The Sword Academy Basic Sword Control Technique — Sword Vein and Compression Technique —were both taught by Deputy Academy Master Su!"

"It's fair to say that without Deputy Academy Master Su, our Sword Academy wouldn't be where it is today!"

"I see... Hmm? Why do I feel that Deputy Academy Master Su's Spiritual Power energy is stronger than Court Master Xu's? Could it be that Deputy Academy Master Su's cultivation is higher than Academy Master Xu's?"

This Sword Academy Disciple had keen senses. After Xu Shangran came out of the training room, he pointed at Su Bai with a look of horror. "You kid, you've reached the Peak Foundation Establishment?"

He considered himself extraordinary, having reached the Foundation Establishment in his thirties, the mid-Foundation Establishment Middle Stage forties, and now only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

This kid, he must be in his early thirties, right?

Su Bai smiled subtly, "Academy Master, I was fortunate enough to obtain Minor Breakthrough Pill in the Demon Star Sea, and I am indeed now at the Peak Foundation Establishment."
