Yan Wuqie knew that Ling Yi intended to use him as a tool.
But Yan Wuqie was quite happy to be this tool.
The real loss would be if one day we didn't even have the chance to be a tool.
The longer Yan Wuqie spent with Ling Yi, the more he felt Ling Yi's power and mystery. Yan Wuqie had made up his mind to stick close to Ling Yi.
What do you mean by "tool"? Only those with value are considered tools. Don't believe me? Look at that arrogant fool, Chi Hu. Now, he doesn't even qualify to be a tool anymore.
Once the First Tier ends, you will have your skills removed and be forcibly kicked out of the Mission World due to insufficient reputation.
"So, as I said before, one must recognize one's own position!" Yan Wuqie murmured as he walked into the main hall of Ascending Dragon Peak.
Seeing Yan Wuqie, Ling smiled and said, "Looks like you've had quite a haul?"
"Two top-tier cultivation techniques, the Five-Spirit Qi Refining Art and the Yin-Yang Spirit Replenishing Art, along with twelve spell techniques."
Yan Wuqie took out a small bag, about the size of a palm, and handed it to Ling Yi.
This is a storage bag; it has approximately five Cosmic Cube of space inside.
It belongs to the category of storage magic treasures and is highly valuable in the Immortal Cultivation Realm; there are only two in the entire Vast Righteousness Sect.
One of them was originally in Ling Yi's possession and belonged to Nalan Haoran. Now that Nalan Haoran is crippled, it naturally belongs to Ling Yi.
The other one was found by Yan Wuqie in the Vast Righteousness Sect's storeroom.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Ling Yi exclaimed.
In just one day, Nalan Haoran has confessed everything; he's got some skills after all.
"I barely lifted a finger; it was the First Elder and the others who did it. I have to say, they're really ruthless!"
How so?
" Nalan Haoran was initially very arrogant, but she was ultimately a woman. The Grand Elder and the others used a Spirit Beast and a very improper elixir to frighten Nalan Haoran into confessing."
"An unorthodox elixir? How unorthodox?"
"That's really indecent!"
Yan Wuqie dared not say anything more, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up with the car's speed.
He changed the subject, saying, "Sect Master, what should we do with the Vast Righteousness Sect next?"
"What's your opinion?" Ling Yi asked.
"Let's just give up. We don't have that much time to waste here. After all, we're just passing through this world. We'll be leaving in two or three months. Setting up a sect is pointless!"
Ling Yi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The Heaven-Exploding Sect Heaven-Exploding Sect still has a reason to exist, but it will not establish a sect headquarters."
Yan Wuqie's eyes lit up; he immediately understood Ling Yi's meaning.
Ling Yi continued, "Have you obtained the addresses of all the cultivation sects?"
Yan Wuqie and took out a jade slip. "This is a jade slip that records information about various cultivation sects, but the distances between cultivation sects are too far."
"The nearest Fragrant Cloud Sect, is a full 30,000 kilometers away. The jade slip records a total of nine sects. If we were to travel around all of them, it would be at least 200,000 kilometers."
At this point, Yan Wuqie sighed, "I wonder how big it really is."
Is distance a problem for Ling Yi? Not at all.
It's like Transport at the speed of light. Once the destination is determined, this distance is so short, you can cover it with a sneeze.
The real waste of time is the process of subduing these cultivation sects.
"Is there a way to Copy jade slips now?"
"Yes, and it's very simple. We can leave it to Hou Liang and Gao Ping to do. As long as the Spiritual Power is sufficient, the cultivation technique jade slips can be produced continuously."
"However, jade slips alone are not enough, and sending jade slips is not the most efficient method, and it would be a waste of time."
"What I mean is, erect a stone tablet with the cultivation technique in every city, inscribe it with the name of our Heaven-Exploding Sect, and put both of our names on it."
"Good idea, let's do it this way!" Ling Yi approved of Yan Wuqie's plan.
"If possible, we should recruit some local experts. Loyalty doesn't matter, as long as they work diligently for us in the early stages."
"You come up with a detailed plan, outline the route, and try to visit all the other cultivation sects tomorrow."
"Good!"
The two discussed a few more details before parting ways.
Ling Yi took out the cultivation manual jade slips of the Vast Righteousness Sect from his storage bag and stuck them one by one on his forehead.
It's not that Ling Yi necessarily wanted to cultivate the techniques of this world, but rather that he was simply interested.
Ling Yi wanted to know exactly how this cultivation method worked.
In martial arts, there are routines and moves, how to punch, how to kick, how to perform combos, how to counter attacks, and so on.
There should be at least a specific training method, a training method that can be seen and touched.
What about cultivation techniques for immortality?
However, after Ling Yi finished reading the cultivation techniques and spell incantations, he suddenly had the illusion that he had bought a counterfeit product.
Everyone who understands can comprehend it, but is this cultivation method some kind of scam?
Take, for example, the Five-Spirit Qi Refining Art.
The first chapter is: Calm your mind and silently enter the dark void, ten breaths in the dark void, touch the altar, two inches below the navel, the spiritual vortex will naturally form and draw in the spirit.
This is the original text; you probably can't understand it, right?
No problem, there are footnotes below the original text, in very plain language.
It roughly means to close your eyes, calm your mind, let go of distracting thoughts, and allow your brain to completely sink into a state of darkness Void.
If this state can be maintained for ten breaths, then you can proceed to the next step.
Imagine a vortex of Spiritual Qi two inches below the navel—yes, it's purely imaginary.
And then what? Then you keep repeating this process until the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi enters your body and forms a true vortex of Spiritual Qi, then Entry.
Does it seem a bit far-fetched? But this is the very first chapter of this cultivation technique.
But there's a crucial prerequisite: the existence of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth. If there's no Spiritual Qi, then it's all for naught.
The initial chapters of the Five-Spirit Qi Refining Art and the Spirit Replenishing Art are quite similar.
The difference is that the Five-Spirit Qi Refining Art requires that when imagining a vortex of Spiritual Qi, there must be five parts of the Spiritual Qi, and each part must be a different color.
The Yin-Yang Spirit Replenishing Art only requires imagining two vortexes of Spiritual Qi, one black and one white.
Comparatively speaking, the Yin-Yang Spirit Replenishing Art is much simpler.
Nalan Haoran cultivated the Five-Spirit Qi Refining Art, while the others in the Vast Righteousness Sect cultivated incomplete versions.
There are neither the Five Spirits nor the Yin and Yang.
Simply imagine a vortex of Spiritual Qi, and cultivation becomes much easier.
However, the Li Qiang vary greatly.
Ling Yi tried cultivating, but got stuck at the very first step.
Calmness and tranquility are achievable, as is a state of darkness Void, but maintaining that state for ten breaths is incredibly difficult.
If your brain wanders even slightly, you have to start all over again.
The key issue is that I always find myself unconsciously counting my breaths.
If you count like that, well, you're done for. You'll be forced out of that hard-won, dark Void state.
Ling Yi tried all night without success, all because of counting his breaths.
Is it not okay not to count them?
No, I must start visualizing the Spiritual Qi vortex after ten breaths.
Not a single breath more or less is acceptable.
The next morning, after Ling Yi and Yan Wuqie met, they looked at each other and then shook their heads simultaneously.
"You've tried practicing cultivation techniques?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yeah, I failed. I couldn't even last ten breaths." Yan Wuqie smiled bitterly.
"I guess he'll need a lot more practice."
Practice? Practice my foot! We have cheat codes and conceptual skills, what's the point of practicing?
That's just a waste of time!
Yan Wuqie handed Ling Yi a jade slip and said, "This is a route map I compiled based on the locations of various cultivation sects."
Ling Yi nodded and stuck the jade slip directly to his forehead.
After memorizing the route map, Ling Yi put the jade slip into his storage ring.
"Set off!"
Then, Ling Yi and Yan Wuqie disappeared from the spot.
As for Hou Liang and Gao Ping, they can stay at the Vast Righteousness Sect to cultivate.
Nalan Haoran, the Grand Elder, and the others were temporarily assigned to Medicine Valley and Ten Thousand Beasts Valley, with some guarding the medicine gardens and others raising the Spirit Beast Spirit Beast.
That's all for now. As for what happens in the future, or whether there will be another chance to appear, we'll see later.
Ling Yi and Yan Wuqie were very fast and efficient.
Upon arriving at the sect's territory, without further ado, they used their Transport skills to forcefully activate the mountain-protecting formation.
Then, they directly Transport the Spiritual Power of these sect cultivators. During this process, Yan Wuqie was responsible for introducing the tenets of the Heaven-Exploding Sect and, incidentally, persuading them to surrender.
We must popularize our sect's cultivation techniques so that A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality in the world can cultivate immortality.
Those who surrender will retain their cultivation; those who do not surrender will be reduced to A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
The two of them, one using their hands and the other using their mouths, worked quite well.
After the other eight cultivation sects had all been visited, the Heaven-Exploding Sect had gained 600 new cultivators.
Moreover, each of them is a master at or above the Spirit Elixir Realm.
Among them were two experts at the Elixir God Realm.
The harvest includes a number of resources such as Spirit Stone, spirit herbs, pills, magic treasures, and storage bags.
On the fifth day of the Mission World, Ling Yi and Yan Wuqie led the six hundred cultivators to place cultivation technique stone tablets in various cities.
The cultivation technique stone tablet was made by cultivators using heavy and hard Black Tide Stone.
A relatively common material for refining artifacts in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
The purpose is to ensure the cultivation technique stone tablet survives longer, preventing it from being destroyed by some Old Liu.
On the eighth day of the Mission World, Ling Yi and his group had already placed 1,700 cultivation technique stone tablets.
In other words, in the Mission World, there are 1,700 cities, all of which have cultivation technique tablets and cultivation methods.
And within just a few days, the reputation of the Heaven-Exploding Sect spread throughout 1,700 cities.
In 1,700 cities, with nearly two billion people, almost everyone knows about the existence of the Heaven-Exploding Sect Heaven-Exploding Sect and its mission.
Who can resist cultivating immortality?
When these people embark on the path of cultivation, they all praise the Heaven-Exploding Sect Heaven-Exploding Sect leader Wuming and deputy sect leader Yan Wuqie.
Day 10, First Tier ends.
The Chosen One Brand has begun calculating the Chosen One's First Tier score.
Ling Yi and Yan Wuqie both received a B grade.
However, Chi Hu, far away in Ling Yun Commandery City, failed to even complete the minimum reputation requirement.
The mission was deemed a failure.
Not only will you be forced out of the Mission World, but you will also have one skill randomly deducted.
As Yan Wuqie predicted, Chi Hu had lost was his S Grade skill.
It was only at this point that the fool Chi Hu finally realized what was happening.
From the moment Ling Yi and the others left Ling Yun Commandery without taking him with them, he was abandoned by Ling Yi and Yan Wuqie.
This enraged Chi Hu.
It wasn't that Chi Hu didn't think of this, but rather that he was too arrogant and never imagined that one day Yan Wuqie would abandon him.
Including these past ten days, he spent his time in Ling Yun Commandery City in a life of extravagance and debauchery, completely forgetting about his mission.
