Cultivation World, Volume One: The Tianxin Sect on the Brink of Collapse - Immortal Attendant Corps

Zhang Xingfeng was discussing matters concerning Tianfeng with Zhong Heng at that moment.

"The Peak Master is to attract enough immortals for my Tianxin Sect. Of course, earning Supreme Grade Crystal is also quite important!" Zhang Xingfeng held the "Rao Xin Chou" that *** Yan had just refined. He had loved it ever since the first time he drank it. Now, Zhang Xingfeng was almost inseparable from "Rao Xin Chou." After drinking it, a faint spiciness lingered in his heart, followed by a wave of ethereal comfort and tranquility...

Taking a sip, Zhang Xingfeng smiled and said, "Well... we can't be too stingy. As long as someone has the strength of Heavenly Immortal, the treatment for becoming a retainer of my Tianxin Sect is a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact's heart and one immortal crystal every hundred years. Reaching the strength of a Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal) will result in a top-grade immortal artifact and one immortal crystal every ten years. As for a Da Luo Jin Great Luo Golden Immortal), hehe, I doubt any Great Luo Golden Immortal would come to a small sect like ours." Zhang Xingfeng chuckled.

Zhong Heng said, "True Person, this is hard to say. Who knows if some Great Luo Golden Immortal might come here? Who knows if any Great Luo Golden Immortal have escaped from the Dead Zone? Moreover, there may be people in the Cultivation World who have cultivated to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, such as cultivators in the Northern Extreme Perilous Domain."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng's face lit up with joy, and he laughed, "Not bad, not bad. Anything can happen in this Northern Extreme Perilous Domain. There are many places even Immortal Emperor dare not go. Hehe, the possibility of encountering some Great Luo Golden Immortal is quite high. Good, good, hmm... add a clause to Tianfeng's propaganda: Great Luo Golden Immortal can choose any three Immortal Artifacts and receive one Immortal Crystal per year! As for even higher-level experts, forget it, I won't dream about it!" Zhang Xingfeng suddenly shook his head. Having an expert stronger than himself in the sect was not a good thing. The true experts of the seven major sects were all from their own sects. The Offering Pavilion was, after all, only a supporting force. The strength of a sect depended on its own strength. In some mortal planets, there had been instances where experts from the Offering Group had wiped out royal families.

Zhong Heng nodded in agreement, saying, "The treatment given by the True Person is quite good, ten times better than in the Upper Immortal Realm. In the Immortal Realm, a Celestial Heavenly Immortal is nothing more than a Low-grade Immortal Artifact. As for immortal crystals, hehe, that depends on luck. Back in my day, I didn't get a single immortal crystal in ten thousand years!"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled calmly, then suddenly said to Zhang Xingfeng Zhong Heng, "Something good has come to our door."

"Elder Ji Fang of the Bright Sun Sect Ji Fang an audience!" A clear voice from outside carried directly into the inner hall. Zhang Xingfeng's lips curled slightly. "Hmm... The Bright Sun Sect's attitude is quite good. They actually sent a Great Luo Golden Immortal to see me. I, Zhang Xingfeng, cannot be too pampered." Zhang Xingfeng stood up, preparing to greet this elder of the Bright Sun Sect, Ji Yu's junior brother.

Ji Fang was dressed very formally today, in a long purple robe dotted with stars arranged according to the celestial numbers, the purple light shimmering and disappearing within the robe. He was extremely attractive, naturally exuding the aura of a high-ranking immortal.

"This is a rare and precious garment among the Great Luo Golden Immortal — the Purple Star Soft Robe. There are very few Great Luo Golden Immortal in the entire Immortal Realm who can wear such an outfit. It seems that only Nine Heavens Profound Immortal can wear this garment," Zhong Heng from the side.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded, thinking to himself: This attire is indeed quite good, worthy of Great Luo Golden Immortal. However, the fact that this elder of the Bright Sun Sect can wear such attire suggests that he holds a high position in the Immortal Realm.

Zhang Xingfeng was unaware that in the Immortal Realm, those who could wear the Purple Star Robe were generally the Nine Heavens Mystic Realm cultivators. Only a few Great Luo Golden Immortal would receive this Purple Star Robe because of their great contributions to the Immortal Realm. The Purple Star Robe was not only a Top-grade Immortal Artifact, but also a symbol of status, representing the upper echelons of immortals.

In the Immortal Realm, a high-ranking immortal who kills an ordinary immortal receives almost no punishment, unless, of course, the murderer is from one of the eight great weapon-refining sects or one of the three Immortal Emperors or four great Immortal Sects. High-ranking immortals enjoy various privileges, but Zhang Xingfeng currently has no idea just how extensive these privileges are.

"Ji Fang greets True Person Xingfeng." Ji Fang bowed slightly to Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately stepped forward and said, "Oh dear, it is a great honor for our Tianxin Sect personally come to our small headquarters this time!" Zhang Xingfeng positioned himself as a small sect.

Ji Fang smiled and said, "True Person don't say that, Master. If even the core disciples of a sect possess immortal artifacts, then such a sect is a small sect. My Bright Sun Sect is not much bigger either!" As he spoke, he laughed.

Zhang Xingfeng himself also liked this Ji Fang, for example, it lacked arrogance.

"True Person, the reason I Ji Fang here is to foster a closer relationship between my Bright Sun Sect and your Tianxin Sect. Therefore, my Bright Sun Sect is offering three plots of land in the western part of the Central Square. This is all the land my Bright Sun Sect owns in the Central Square." Ji Fang smiled and stared at Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback. "Last time I overheard that kid Ji Yu talking to his disciple outside the Bright Sun Sect, they were talking about a piece of territory. How come they've offered three pieces now? Could something have happened to the Bright Sun Sect that I don't know about?" But since the territory offered by others was more and better, Zhang Xingfeng certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Oh dear, how could I accept this? Brother Ji Fang's kindness to Zhang Xingfeng is truly overwhelming!" Zhang Xingfeng said with a smile, but then Zhang Xingfeng expression turned serious. "Since Brother Ji Fang has treated me so well, I will certainly reciprocate in kind!"

"Since True Person say so, Ji Fang, then I will not stand on ceremony. My Bright Sun Sect does indeed have some important matters that require True Person help!" Ji Fang said with a smile.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback. He hadn't expected Ji Fang to actually be in trouble, so he asked, "Is there anything I, Zhang Xingfeng, can help with? Just tell me!"

"No, no rush. We'll talk about this later. Besides, it's not something I can decide. Once True Person 've finished your business here, Master will definitely invite True Person to our sect for a detailed discussion!" Ji Fang smiled slightly and took out a golden metal block from his pocket. Several lines of text were engraved on it; this was the land deed.

Zhang Xingfeng naturally accepted the land deed, while Ji Fang immediately said, "Ji Fang has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. In a few days, Ji Fang and Master will await the arrival of the True Person."

Zhang Xingfeng laughed loudly and said, "Okay, Xingfeng will definitely go then, haha..."

Zhong Heng watched Ji Fang's departing figure, lost in thought, and suddenly said to Zhang Xingfeng, "What does the Bright Sun Sect want with the True Person? What could True Person possibly have to attract them? Great Luo Golden Immortal's strength is probably not even worth their attention in the eyes of the Bright Sun Sect. It's probably a Celestial Artifact!"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded. "Last time I heard Ji Yu say he would only give me one piece of land, but now he's given me three. I guess this decision was made by Ji Fang's master. He's a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal, while I'm just a minor Great Luo Golden Immortal can roam freely in the Immortal Realm. Of course, I wouldn't take his words seriously. The reason he changed his mind and gave me three pieces of land must be because of the immortal artifact!"

"The preciousness of immortal artifacts goes without saying. Many Great Luo Golden Immortal use Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, a small number use top-grade immortal artifacts, and almost all Nine Heavens Profound Immortal use Top-grade Immortal Artifact, with a few using divine artifacts. In the Immortal Realm, the most important artifacts are Top-grade Immortal Artifact. In various major forces, Top-grade Immortal Artifact can be allocated to Nine Heavens Profound Immortal or rewarded to Great Luo Golden Immortal. Top-grade Immortal Artifact are the most important asset for major forces in the Immortal Realm. However, the price in the Immortal Realm is one hundred immortal crystals, making Top-grade Immortal Artifact quite expensive! I guess this time, the Bright Sun Sect wants to do business with you in the immortal artifact trade." Zhong Heng, having spent ten thousand years in the Immortal Realm, possessed considerable experience.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said with a smile, "Well... since that's the case, why shouldn't I sell them? Besides, I have quite a lot of immortal artifacts; even my Tianxin Sect can't use them all!"

"Tianfeng" has opened for business, occupying three plots of land on the western half of the central square. Those three plots have now been transformed and merged into one. The storefront is nearly a hundred meters long. The central square itself is the most valuable land on Mingling Star. The six plots here are controlled by the Bright Sun Sect and the Lingyu Sect. Other sects cannot buy them even if they have immortal crystals.

The fact that "Tianfeng" could open here shocked all the cultivators. Back then, Zhang Xingfeng could exchange a Top-grade Immortal Artifact for a super large plot of land with a facade of 350 meters. Now, he actually opened a store in the central square, which made people feel surprised.

Zhang Xingfeng certainly didn't leave that 350-meter-long super-large territory idle. Such a large area could easily become a branch of the Tianxin Sect, so Zhang Xingfeng immediately ordered nearly 500 Tianxin Sect members to set up camp there. That super-large territory was 350 meters long and covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters; even with 500 people living there, it was still too big.

The three characters "Tianxin Sect" were prominently displayed on the huge facade. From then on, the reputation of the Tianxin Sect became even more renowned. What other sect had such a large territory on Mingling Star?

A cultivator looked at the enormous characters and exclaimed in surprise, "Our sect now welcomes all immortals Loose Immortal to come and become our Tianxin Sect's worshippers."

"Upon reaching the strength of Heavenly Immortal, the reward is a Top-grade Immortal Artifact and a celestial crystal every ten years."

"Upon reaching the strength of Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal, the reward is a Top-grade Immortal Artifact and a celestial crystal every year."

All the cultivators who saw the characters were stunned. What... what is this? Are they recruiting workers? Recruiting immortals like this is just too good. Even in the seven major sects, the treatment is not half as good.

In a super-large sect, it's impossible for Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal to possess Top-grade Immortal Artifact. Immortal crystals are even rarer, appearing only once every fifty years.

Within just half a day, the news from the Tianxin Sect had spread far and wide...

The two immortals, "Bright" and "Dark," were currently traveling towards Mingling Star. Ever since they heard about the Tianxin Sect's offer of rewards for recruiting them, they had been incredibly excited. A Heavenly Immortal needs one Immortal Crystal for a hundred years of cultivation, Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal Stone needs one Immortal Crystal for ten years of cultivation, and Great Luo Golden Immortal needs several Immortal Crystals per year. The Tianxin Sect's approach was essentially a continuous supply of Immortal Crystals, allowing them to cultivate indefinitely!

Since escaping from the Dead Zone, they saw the treatment of the seven major sects and thought it wasn't too high. Moreover, the support they received didn't offer much freedom. They were supported by the sect, and they had to stay in the places arranged by the sect unless they received permission from the sect. For example, the Old Daoist Wu Shen was given permission after reaching the Purple Cloud Realm and was even given a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Token.

In the eyes of the Ming'an Two Immortals, Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal only gets one immortal crystal every fifty years, which is simply not enough. They used it up in ten years, so what would they do after that? Moreover, they had no freedom. So they slowly cultivated outside and became guest elders of several large sects. Guest elders had more freedom than retainers, but their treatment was much worse. Even so, they had been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years and their cultivation had reached the late stage of Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal.

However, it is too difficult to go from the late stage of Luo Tian Heavenly Immortal Xian to Great Luo Golden Immortal. Without enough immortal crystals, it is unknown how long it will take. The two immortals, Ming'an Two Immortals, even decided to go to the seven major sects just for immortal crystals. Now that they have heard about the treatment offered by the Tianxin Sect, they will come immediately.

"Tell your sect leader that we, the Ming'an Two Immortals, have come to serve as your Tianxin Sect's worshippers!" The Ming'an Two Immortals swaggered into "Heavenly Peak," displaying extreme arrogance. This was quite normal, as no one had dared to disrespect them in the Cultivation World for hundreds of thousands of years.

Although the Ming'an Two Immortals and An, came to the Tianxin Sect as worshippers, it was for the sake of the Tianxin Sect crystals. They didn't take Tianxin Sect.

"Roar! Which bastard is yelling like that? If you yell again, this elder will eat you alive!" Little Dragon's voice came from inside. He was very proud of himself. Ever since he traveled to hundreds of planets and used the secret methods of the Dragon Clan to gather hundreds of spirit beasts, he brought them to the Tianxin Sect and casually threw them onto Fangyan Mountain. Among these spirit beasts, dozens of them were stronger than Heavenly Immortal. The strongest of them, a flood dragon, even had the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. However, as Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, Little Dragon was naturally superior to these spirit beasts in terms of level. Moreover, his cultivation was also higher than theirs. Little Dragon had reached the Form Transformation Stage, while the flood dragon had not. Furthermore, Little Dragon possessed a divine artifact. The difference was simply too great.

As soon as Zhang Xingfeng learned of Little Dragon's achievements, he appointed Little Dragon as the head of the offering group without hesitation.

In the past few days, he has already taught three or four guys who thought they were quite skilled Tianxin Sect, as if the Tianxin Sect was begging them. But after being roared at by Little Dragon, they became weak. After all, Little Dragon was much stronger than them.

The Ming'an Two Immortals bastard! The two Ming'an Two Immortals were furious, their eyes blazing with anger as they stared at the burly man who had appeared. But as soon as they saw the man, they were immediately castrated.

"Great Luo Golden Immortal!" The Ming'an Two Immortals, Sheng Ming, said blankly. The second eldest, Sheng An, was also dumbfounded. They had a history of tens of thousands of years in the Immortal Realm and had seen many Great Luo Golden Immortal. The big man in front of them clearly had the strength of Great Luo Golden Immortal, and even among Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was top-notch.

"It's nothing, we... want to... make offerings!" The two immortals were so frightened by the Little Dragon's fierce appearance that they could barely speak! You have to understand that a difference of one level means a difference of at least ten times in strength. If he wanted to kill them, they would have no power to resist at all.

"To be offered as offerings, hmm... very good, very good. From now on, you are my subordinates. Quickly go to the inner hall and choose a Top-grade Immortal Artifact, and take ten immortal crystals!" Little Dragon's attitude changed drastically immediately. These were his subordinates! He, as their leader, had always made a good impression on them, but he didn't realize that his impression would be ruined by that voice...

The scoundrel and his ferocious appearance have ruined the reputation.
