The Lord's Mansion of Border Sea City.
A completely refreshed Ling Yi is currently taking a walk with his senior sister in the back garden.
This senior sister Ran Xiyue, and she is the personal disciple of the sect leader of the Hundred Leaps Sect.
According to Ran Xiyue herself, the sect leader of the Hundred Leaps Sect had only accepted three personal disciples in total, and she was the fourth.
The status of a direct disciple in the Hundred Leaps Sect is self-evident; in fact, it is even higher than that of a sect elder.
Three days ago, after Ling Yi was "rescued" by Ran Xiyue, he was taken to the city lord's mansion in Border Sea City.
Border Sea City is the city located northeast of White Cloud Mountain.
Unexpectedly, Ran Xiyue is not only the personal disciple of the Hundred Leaps Sect Master, but also the daughter of the City Lord of Border Sea City.
This time, Ran Xiyue came back to visit her family.
" Ling Yi, are you feeling alright now?" Ran Xiyue asked.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Xiyue. I'm all better now!" Ling Yi said after glancing at Ran Xiyue's head.
[ Ran Xiyue: Potential 6 stars (out of 10), Supreme Pin Thunder Spiritual Root, Qi Refining Sixth Level!]
His potential is far inferior to Ye Chen's.
Ling Yi showed no intention of taking Ran Xiyue as his disciple.
Of course, he couldn't accept him. After all, the other person had a sect leader as his the Final Master and was doing a good job as a direct disciple. Why would he possibly become Ling Yi's disciple?
"That's good!" Ran Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Yi sighed inwardly, thinking that Ran Xiyue was truly a kind girl, but he wondered how long her kindness would last.
Will one gradually lose oneself in the power of cultivation as one's cultivation level increases and as the distinction between immortals and mortals widens?
Ling Yi is being ridiculously dramatic.
After thousands of years of cultivation, as the world Canghai and people pass away one by one, and all Bond are severed, how much of the mortal heart remains?
He shook his head, thinking to himself, "Why the hell am I thinking about this? I'm just wasting my time."
Seeing Ling Yi shake his head, Ran Xiyue couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Ling Yi, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm just curious about the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Immortals, who wouldn't yearn for that? Even if I can't become a cultivator, hearing stories about immortals and bragging about them later would be nice."
Ling Yi stretched and said.
"Pfft!" Ran Xiyue was amused by Ling Yi's words.
Although they had only known each other for three days, Ran Xiyue could clearly sense that Ling Yi was different from any other young person she had ever met.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.
I always find this person's way of speaking very interesting.
"I've only been involved in the Immortal Cultivation Realm for two years, so I don't know much about the Immortal Cultivation Realm."
Ran Xiyue sighed and said, " A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality want to cultivate immortality, but cultivating immortality is not as wonderful as it seems."
She couldn't help but think of her three senior brothers and sisters.
"For cultivators of average talent, it takes ten years to Qi Refining, a hundred years to Foundation Establishment, Wu Bai hundred years to reach the Golden Core Nascent Soul, and five hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. If they fail to reach the Nascent Soul stage within Wu Bai, their path to immortality is severed, and they will ultimately face certain death."
"Only those who cultivate Nascent Soul can barely be considered to have achieved Longevity once they reach the Nascent Soul stage. As long as the Nascent Soul remains, one can live forever."
Ling Yi glanced at his red-background, gold-lettered slag system panel.
Does it really take that long to reach the Golden Core Stage?
He's already at the Golden Core Ninth Level; he'll probably Nascent Soul in three to five days at most.
They didn't mention that they had a system.
Take Ye Chen for example, he's already at the Qi Refining Seventh Level.
Ten years of Qi Refining? A hundred years of Foundation Establishment?
Believe it or not, my apprentice will be able to Foundation Establishment in at most ten days!
"Does Qi Refining take this long? Didn't Miss Xiyue achieve Qi Refining in less than two years?"
"That's because I have good aptitude, the cultivation technique is suitable, and I don't lack cultivation resources."
"At your current cultivation pace, wouldn't you be able to reach the Nascent Soul and Longevity and Immortality in at most ten years?!"
"It's not that easy. Breaking through to a higher realm is extremely difficult, especially major breakthroughs. It's not enough to just have enough resources; you also need a certain state of mind, a favorable opportunity, and a stroke of luck."
"Especially the Nascent Soul stage, which requires enduring both Lightning Tribulation and Heart Tribulation, is extremely difficult for cultivators to break through if their mental state is not strong enough."
"It's alright to advance from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment. As long as you have the right cultivation method and your aptitude isn't too bad, you can always break through. But to advance from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, and from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, you need to break through your mental barriers first."
"And what is 'state of mind'?" Ling Yi asked.
"I don't know either. My the Final Master said that there are a thousand different people and a thousand different states of mind; everyone is different."
Ling Yi looked at his system interface again.
Well, it's a good thing I have a system, otherwise cultivating immortality would be so troublesome, I might as well just go down the path of Body Refining.
Oh, right, I'll give the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Art to Ye Chen later.
How can you cultivate immortality without Body Refining? That would just make you a fragile Mage.
"Even my the Final Master has been stuck at the Golden Core Realm for nearly a hundred years without being able to break through, precisely because his mental state is not yet broken!"
What?! Your Hundred Leaps Sect Master is only at the Golden Core Realm?
this...
"Miss Xiyue, this must be a secret of your sect, right? Isn't it inappropriate for you to say it out loud?"
Ran Xiyue shook her head and said, "This is not a secret. Many people know it, but ordinary people rarely see the Immortal Path in their lifetime, so they have never heard of it."
Is mindset really that important? Is there a way to bypass mindset?
"Of course there are. It's said that cultivation techniques of the Emperor Tier or higher can Ignore mental state and directly break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm. If it's Saint Tier technique, one can directly enter the Body Integration Realm. As for God Tier techniques..."
At this point, Ran Xiyue shook her head. "In the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, let alone God Tier cultivation techniques, even Emperor Tier techniques are hard to find. At least in our Cangnan Region, they are very rare."
" Cangnan Region? Is the Immortal Cultivation Realm divided into many regions?"
"Yes, it is said that the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm is divided into six domains: the Snow North Region, the Mobei Region, the Fire Qilin Region, the Sea East Region, the Cangnan Region Azure Domain, and the Saint Region."
Is it true that this phrase, "it is said," shouldn't be used here?
"Apart from the Saint Region, the other Five Domains are pretty much the same. It's said that the Saint Region not only has Saint Tier cultivation techniques, but even Emperor Tier techniques..."
Through Ran Xiyue's words, Ling Yi gained a general understanding of this Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Ling Yi realized that the Hundred Leaps Sect was indeed not a major sect.
It's very likely that they're still at the bottom of the cultivation sects.
Even so, the Hundred Leaps Sect still controlled dozens of countries.
Throughout the entire Cangnan Region, there are nearly a hundred sects of Xiaoxiao, such as the Hundred Leaps Sect.
This shows just how vast the Immortal Cultivation Realm truly is.
The Cangnan Region alone is probably dozens of times larger than Blue Star.
Another point is that cultivation techniques are extremely important for cultivators.
Ling Yi's purpose in this trip was to understand the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, Ling Yi prepared to leave and see if he could find a disciple with full stars.
If a nine-star disciple is rewarded with Saint Tier cultivation technique, then a full-star disciple should be rewarded with God Tier cultivation technique and God Tier spell!
In addition, we also need to find a way to increase the popularity of our Personal Small World.
It's really getting Bored with just Ling Yi and Ye Chen in our Personal Small World right now.
They can't even get enough people to play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), how can this work?
But the specifics of how to recruit people and what kind of people to recruit still need to be studied.
If we take in a bunch of Old Liu who are always plotting trouble, we won't be able to handle it.
Ling Yi is increasingly missing the System Shop.
This system is garbage; it even removed the System Shop during the update.
If he had known this would happen, he should have stayed in the newbie village longer.
The next morning, Ling Yi bid farewell to Ran Xiyue.
" Ling Yi, if you're willing, I can ask my father to find you a job in the city. It might not make you rich, but you'll be able to live a comfortable life."
Ling Yi shook his head. "Me? I still want to travel around while I'm young. Maybe I'll stumble upon some ancient immortal's cave and embark on the path to Immortal Path!"
Ran Xiyue took Ling Yi's words as a joke. There weren't that many immortal caves; how easy was it for A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality to embark on the Immortal Path?
Unfortunately, although she was a direct disciple, she did not have the right to bring others into the sect at will.
Sects have extremely strict requirements, or rather, rules, for accepting disciples.
Cultivators not only need good aptitude, but more importantly, they need great perseverance, great opportunities, and Karmic Luck.
The Hundred Leaps Token that the sect releases each year are a selection process.
The sect only recognizes the Hundred Leaps Token.
Only those who possess the Hundred Leaps Token can participate in the sect's final assessment.
Without the Hundred Leaps Token, even with extraordinary talent, one cannot enter a sect.
This is a rule established by the founder of the Hundred Leaps Sect Hundred Leaps Sect at its inception, and no one can break it.
"Then I wish you all your wishes come true and a safe journey!"
As she spoke, Ran Xiyue took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Ling Yi, saying, "Take care!"
Ling Yi didn't refuse, knowing that it contained the Spirit-Nurturing Pill.
The Spirit-Nurturing Pill that Ran Xiyue used to "save him" was taken from this porcelain bottle.
Ling Yi glanced at the two outer disciples of the Hundred Leaps Sect beside Ran Xiyue and thought to himself, " Ran Xiyue is still too naive and kind-hearted."
It's not that it's bad, but in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, such a personality is at a huge disadvantage.
Look at these two, their eyes are practically red with rage as they stare at the porcelain bottle in Ling Yi's hand.
Ling Yi was absolutely certain that once he left, the two of them would definitely follow.
Ling Yi thought for a moment and took out a inheritance crystal core.
This was a gift that Ling Yi received from someone when he was on Blue Star.
At the time, so many people gave him gifts, and Ling Yi accepted them all, including quite a lot of random things.
This inherited crystal core is one of them.
This thing is also made from the crystal core of Mutant Beast.
It incorporates some technological methods, making it a product of technology and cultivation civilization.
The main function of this thing is to record information.
It can be read through Divine Will.
This thing is said to be quite troublesome to make, and the output is not very high. Ling Yi only has about two hundred of them in his System Space.
Ling Yi directly input the Saint Tier cultivation technique Golden Body Formula and the skill Thunder Storm into it.
Thunder Storm is an innate skill of Awakened, somewhat similar to supernatural Divine Ability rather than simple magic.
Ling Yi found it extremely effective when he used it before.
Not only is it powerful, but it also has no skill animation delay.
Whether Ran Xiyue can comprehend it or not remains to be seen.
The Golden Body Formula is most compatible with the Gold Spiritual Root, but that doesn't mean that people with other Spiritual Root cannot cultivate it.
Saint Tier cultivation technique is much better than the Mortal Tier technique that Ran Xiyue is currently cultivating!
"It's only fair to reciprocate, so here you go!" Ling Yi tossed the inheritance crystal core with the recorded information to Ran Xiyue.
Ran Xiyue didn't think much of it, took it, and put it away.
"Take care!" Ling Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute, smiled wryly, and turned to leave.
Watching Ling Yi's departing the Back, Ran Xiyue felt a little disappointed.
She had few friends growing up; let alone friends, she barely had anyone she could talk to.
Ling Yi was the only person of a different surname with whom she could get along.
"Alas, the mortal and immortal realms are different; I wonder if we'll ever meet again."
