I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 149 Oh, there is another group of brown bears.

In the next ten days, Chen Lu did not go anywhere. He stayed at ease in his own little world, sitting cross-legged on the peak of the mountain behind Chaotian Sect to practice. He spent nine days to improve his cultivation progress and one day to consolidate his cultivation realm.

On the tenth day.

At dawn.

Chen Lu, who was sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain, looked at the two magic lotuses in the air not far away and let out a long breath. His retreat was over. The later he went, the slower his realm improved. It took him 11 days to go from the eighth level of Golden Core to the ninth level of Golden Core.

And his cultivation level has always been the eighth level of the Golden Core Stage (10.7%).

Arrived——
-
"Cultivation": The ninth level of the Golden Core Stage (1.1%).
-
"Finally broke through the ninth level of the Golden Core."

Chen Lu looked into the distance in a trance without saying a word. All he needed to do next was to remain in seclusion for a dozen more days to improve his cultivation to the peak of the Golden Elixir state, and then he would be ready to set off. Of course, he also needed to complete the move between the scholar and Ji Renjian first.

The reason why he could cultivate so fast in the Jindan stage was mainly due to the daily blessing of heaven from the "Tianjiao Ranking List", the Jindan Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill. He didn't know whether there was such a thing as the Yuanying Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill after the Yuanying stage.

But soon, he shook his head.

It is too early to think about these things since you haven't achieved Nascent Soul yet. Moreover, even if there is such a thing as Nascent Soul Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill, it must be very rare and not so easy to obtain.

Then he looked inward at the panel covered by clouds above his dantian.

He had one more chance to use the "Heavenly Way Backtracking Talisman" in the Jindan stage, but he didn't use it. If he doesn't use this opportunity, he will have given up completely after reaching the Yuanying stage. In other words, if there is no entry he particularly wants among the three choices this time.

He will then re-select the pink entry "Merit Saint" that he had once abandoned.

Killing a monster will reward you with one point of merit.

Although he felt that this entry would not have much effect on him, after all, he had 98 billion merit points, but it was better than nothing. If he did not get any desired entry randomly this time, then this "Merit Saint" would not be a bad choice.
-
"My cultivation has greatly increased, and I have officially entered the ninth level of the Golden Core."

"Please choose from the three random entries below in ten breaths."

1:

"Entry name": The sword flies.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

[Effect of the term]: The faster your flying sword is, the higher the damage it can cause.

2:

[Term name]: Physical skills are supreme.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

[Effect of the term]: The more spiritual energy you have in your Dantian, the faster you will be.

3:

"Entry name": Until death.

"Entry Level": Yellow.

[Effect of the Item]: If you and your Taoist companion truly love each other, the power of your spells will be doubled, your movement speed will be doubled, and if either of you dies, the other will die at the same time. If one of you falls in love with someone else, the three of you, along with the person you fell in love with, will self-destruct together.
-
"."

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Lu's eyes. He had finally waited for something. His biggest shortcoming had always been his physical skills and speed!

Even though he is now at the ninth level of the Golden Core, he still relies mainly on scholars for transportation when he goes out.

but now--

With the entry "Agility First", it means that his own speed can be greatly enhanced, whether he is escaping or fleeing.

Moreover, the spiritual energy he contains will continue to increase unlimitedly as he kills more monsters. This also means that his speed can also be increased unlimitedly. The two are complementary and become a perpetual motion machine.

As for the first one, "The sword flies like a flash", this entry is quite suitable for scholars. It would be quite good if this entry could be selected for scholars. And the third entry is "Unwavering until death".

It's totally useless to him.

He has no need for a Taoist companion at all.

There are only a few reasons why most people look for a Taoist partner. Either the Taoist partner can help them in some way, such as a beautiful woman from heaven, or they don't have a true teammate and want to find a Taoist partner to help them go to secret realms together, or they can grow up together from humble beginnings.

I've never heard of anyone in the Jindan or Yuanying stage going out to look for a Taoist partner.

Isn't that equivalent to burying a hidden danger for yourself?

It is impossible for you to activate the protective spiritual energy all the time, and your Taoist partner is your bedside companion every day. In case you have a quarrel one day, when you are sleeping at night or practicing in seclusion, your Taoist partner will stand behind you with a lightning-inducing spell in his hand and hit you with a fierce look in his eyes.

That death was so unfair.

People with the cultivation level of Jindan and Yuanying have seen a lot of intrigues and deceptions, so it is too difficult for them to find a Taoist partner they can completely trust like ordinary people. Such people either have already given birth to offspring when they were young, or have married someone when they were young, or simply imprisoned a bunch of women whose cultivation levels are not as low as theirs, but not too low to be able to bear their spiritual energy, and they have no emotions and are simply there to reproduce.

This also applies to female practitioners.

the most important is
The effect is average, but the cost is not small.

Chen Lu shook his head and chose the entry "Body Movement Supremacy" without any hesitation, excluding the other two entries. He then used the Golden Elixir Heavenly Dao Intermediate Grade Backtracking Talisman and chose the pink entry "Merit Saint".

He now has two pink entries.

One is "Dantian Expansion (Only)", and the other is "Merit Saint".

However, purely in terms of effect, the Merit Saint is far inferior to the Dantian Expansion entry. Even though they are both pink entries, there is a world of difference between them.

After selecting the entry, Chen Lu did not come out of seclusion, but went into seclusion again.

He planned to cultivate to the peak of Golden Elixir cultivation level before coming out of seclusion.

this time--

Thirteen days have passed.

When thirteen days passed, it was dawn.

Chen Lu sat cross-legged on the peak of the mountain behind Chaotian Sect. He exhaled again and looked at the cultivation panel above his dantian.
-
"Cultivation": The ninth level of the Golden Core Stage (100.00%).
-
It wasn't easy. His cultivation of the Golden Core finally reached the peak of the Golden Core Stage. He had a feeling that as long as he used his spiritual energy to shatter the Golden Core above his Dantian and let the Nascent Soul break out of the shell, he would have succeeded in achieving Nascent Soul status.

But a mysterious force from heaven and earth protected the golden elixir firmly inside.

He couldn't see any hope of shattering the golden elixir.

In Daxia.

It is impossible for anyone to achieve Nascent Soul stage, without exception, unless you can break the power of heaven and earth. But if you can break the power of heaven and earth, then you still have no problem thinking about achieving Nascent Soul stage? You can kick the Mahayana stage with your feet and tear apart the Tribulation stage with your bare hands.

This retreat lasted a total of twenty-three days.

This was the longest time he had been in seclusion.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Chen Lu looked down at the bustling Chaotian Sect, and even felt as if he was in another world. The Chaotian Sect of the past was full of collapsed building ruins. There were basically few buildings with intact roofs, and the surroundings were covered with dust.

And now.
Most of the buildings have been repaired, even the sword pavilion that is shaped like a long sword with the blade sticking straight into the ground and is hundreds of feet high has been repaired. The sword pavilion is also the tallest building in Chaotian Sect.

Soaring into the sky.

Buildings in places like the sect hall have also been repaired. Looking down from a high vantage point, they look quite majestic.

"Good."

Chen Lu chuckled, and spiritual energy surged out from under his feet and disappeared on the spot.

In the blink of an eye——

His body appeared next to Feilong who was discussing with the craftsman. He did not use any body skills, but simply relied on the speed of a Jindan expert. It was only after some research that he discovered that the term "body skills are supreme" was different from what he had imagined.

It does not increase the speed of the body.

Instead, it increases the speed of the Jindan powerhouse himself, and the degree of increase is not weak.

Although at present it is still not as fast as some of the movements that are activated at full power, it does not consume much spiritual energy, making it suitable for long-distance travel and chase battles. However, some movements that can increase the speed to a very fast speed in a short period of time often consume a lot of spiritual energy.

It has its pros and cons.

But for him, he thinks the profits are greater.

"How about it?"

Chen Lu didn't think about it anymore, but looked at Fei Long who was talking to the craftsmen and others and smiled.

“The building has been basically repaired.”

Seeing Chen Yu suddenly appear beside him, Fei Long hurriedly reported the progress: "But those large formations, the formation repairers we found said that they are completely impossible to repair. They said that those large formations are at least Yuanying formations, which are completely beyond their capabilities."

"It's just repairing some formations used in daily life."

"For example, the 'Clean Dust Array' that covers the entire sect can ensure that there is no dust inside the sect and that it is kept clean at all times. There is also the 'Clean Water Array' provided for the disciples' dormitories and the Alchemy Hall, which is used for daily cleaning and drinking, etc. There is also the 'Earth Fire Array' under the Alchemy Hall and the Forging Hall, which is used for alchemy and forging, and so on."

"These formations have been repaired, but..."

Fei Long hesitated and said, "This "Clean Dust Formation" and "Clean Water Formation" are both daily formations that are activated every day. In addition to these two, there are also "Clean Wind Formation" and so on. Because our sect is in a small world and there are no external enemies attacking for the time being, there is no need to activate the sect's early warning formation every day."

"But even for all these daily formations, the spiritual stones consumed every day are about 100 low-grade spiritual stones."

“It doesn’t seem to be very low.”

"."

Chen Lu put one hand behind his back and remained silent.

He now has quite a bit of spirit stones in his pocket. Although he had used up all his spirit stones when he broke through to the Golden Core stage last time, he later won the top spot in the Tianjiao Ranking and obtained a considerable number of spirit stones. In addition, he also received some spirit stones from those discerning disciples outside who presented him with gifts.

He now has—

Three hundred medium-grade spirit stones and thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Originally, there could have been more, but the master of the Wang family had spent almost all of his own fortune to purchase nearly 200,000 evil-looking trees, so he naturally would not let the other party work for him for nothing.

He also gave a considerable reward, and with the daily expenses, only these few spirit stones were left.

The daily consumption is about 100 low-grade spirit stones, which means that his 300 low-grade spirit stones are only enough to support days. The annual expenditure on the sect's daily formation alone is low-grade spirit stones.

This is no small amount.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Generally speaking, how does a sect make a profit? It's impossible to spend so much money to train disciples and end up losing money, right?"

"this."

Fei Long said somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't know the details. My plan for the Sky-blasting Gang aborted before it was even implemented. But based on my observations during those few months in Xianhua Sect, I know the details."

"Through the market, or through the large number of shops in the city, etc."

"Ruled off, this won't work." Chen Lu shook his head. He didn't think that after going to Xuantian Continent, he would be able to seize a market town from the already stable power environment. Even if he could, he wouldn't be able to cover it up. His current plan was to develop in a low-key manner after he got out, and take it step by step.

"Swallowing other families or sects is also a common method used by some sects."

"next."

"Asking disciples to go to secret realms and then hand in all their gains to maintain the development of the sect does have certain flaws."

"What flaw?"

“It is easy to cause collective rebellion.”

"next."

"Also, the sect has a very good reputation and its own special methods. Some wealthy children will spend a lot of spirit stones to ask for a place in the sect. This is also a source of income for the sect to recruit disciples every year."

"What else? Are there no others? These few are not suitable for Chaotian Sect." "Hmm," Fei Long thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "There are some. They kill evil spirits and rob them of their resources. Usually the sect sends people to scout the spots in advance, and then the disciples are dispatched in small groups. Half of the property belongs to the disciples, and the other half belongs to the sect."

"How do you determine if someone is a demon?"

"Judge with your mouth."

"Good."

Chen Yu smiled with satisfaction: "This sounds more suitable for the future development direction of Chaotian Sect. We should go in this direction in the future. After we go out, we should think about breaking through the Nascent Soul first."

Then he noticed the fluctuation of spiritual energy on Fei Long's body and said in surprise: "Your cultivation speed is not slow. You have already reached the eighth level of foundation building."

"hold head high."

Fei Long said helplessly, "There is a demon girl at the fifth level of the Golden Core, and there is also an entry that increases the speed of dual cultivation by nine times. If I still can't break through to the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment within more than 20 days, then I will be too embarrassed for Brother Lu."

"The scholar achieved a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage three days ago."

It took twenty to thirty days, and the buildings and daily formations of the Chaotian Sect were basically all repaired. The speed was much faster than initially expected. This was due to the hard work of the craftsmen day and night, and also because many formations had been abandoned for repair.

Chen Lu, who originally felt a little regretful, lost all idea of ​​repairing the sect's formation after hearing that those daily formations consumed so much spirit stones. The daily operation of the sect's formation would probably drain all his family's wealth.

Anyway, the Chaotian Sect won't be in the public eye for the time being, so there's no use in having the sect's formation.

That's good.

These craftsmen and formation masters were invited to leave Chaotian Sect, boarded a flying boat to the capital, and prepared to return home.

The powerful men who had been staying in the Feicheng Inn for the past few days and had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm were already waiting impatiently. For Chen Lu, he had only been in seclusion for less than a month.

For them, that was the little remaining life span, and it was reduced by several percent!

I really can't afford to live anymore!
At this time, this group of people had all been brought back to Chaotian Sect and were standing in the square at the sect's mountain gate, which was also the largest square in Chaotian Sect.

These old men, who were all absolutely powerful in their respective forces, now stood shoulder to shoulder in three rows like disciples who had just embarked on the path of cultivation. Their faces were extremely serious, waiting for Chen Lu's lecture on the stage.

But one could still vaguely see a hint of shock beneath these people's serious faces.

Wasn’t it only been a few days?

How did the Sect Master suddenly reach the peak of the Golden Core? Although I know that the Sect Master has been practicing very fast since his rise, isn't this a little too fast?
It took them a lifetime to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Elixir realm.

The sect leader completed their lifetime journey in just over two months?

Is that a bit exaggerated?

However, they also felt a little more confident. The biggest reason for joining the Chaotian Sect was naturally that they could leave Daxia and have the opportunity to break through the Nascent Soul stage and prolong their lifespan. But at the same time, the unfamiliar Xuantian Continent outside also made them look forward to it.

It would be great if there was a very powerful leader protecting them.

"."

Chen Lu stood on the high platform of Chaotian Sect Square, with one hand behind his back, looking at the old men below. They all looked old, but basically all of them had reached the peak of Golden Core cultivation, and the power contained in their bodies was not weak.

There are 57 people in total, 38 of whom have reached the peak of the Golden Core realm, and the rest are in the late and middle Golden Core realms, each with their own strengths.

These were his first batch of disciples in the Chaotian Sect.

Oh, and a bunch of brown bears too.

He tilted his head to look at the more than two hundred brown bears standing upright not far away, with the word loyalty written all over their faces. It was not an exaggeration, but the word loyalty really was written with charcoal on the faces of these two hundred brown bears.

This group of brown bears was a pleasant surprise.

When he was on his way to Feicheng, he saw Zhao Yishi, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, and more than two hundred bear monsters who were eagerly waiting. After learning their purpose, he did not refuse this ill-gotten gains and took all the brown bears into the Chaotian Sect.

I usually live in the back mountain.

In addition, some disciples who joined the sect, such as Zhao Dezhu, brought a large number of spiritual beasts, all of which were kept in the back mountain. This made the back mountain seem less dead and more lively, which was good.

The main thing was that at that time, when he thought it didn't matter whether he accepted the two hundred brown bears or not, a young brown bear stepped forward and moved him with one sentence.

"In the small world of a future Immortal King, there must be some cute pets."

Ok.

He thought it made sense, so he accepted it.

As for Zhao Yishi, he confiscated it and let him stay in the small world, telling him that when he can defeat the puppet alone in the future, he can come out to find them. The entry for Zhao Yishi is actually quite good.

But it's too expensive to train them.

He recruited disciples not to train them, but to increase his combat power so that he could go out with dozens of Nascent Souls following him to destroy families and confiscate property. With the resources to support Zhao Yishi, why not support himself?

The most important thing is, what's the use of a disciple who is afraid of fighting? Just a mascot?
The thought was gone in a flash.

Chen Yu stood on the high platform with one hand behind his back, looking down at the group of people who belonged to him, and said softly: "From today on, you are all members of my Chaotian Sect."

"Those below the Nascent Soul stage are menial disciples."

"Break through to Nascent Soul and become an outer sect disciple."

"Those above Nascent Soul are inner disciples."

"Since you have joined the Chaotian Sect, you must abide by the Chaotian Sect's rules."

The words fell.

Fei Long, who was standing aside, put on the "maroon robe" that had been tailored for him, symbolizing the status of an elder. He strode forward with a serious expression, stood behind Chen Lu and spoke loudly.

"The Chaotian Sect's rules are as follows."

"First, all disciples of Chaotian Sect must have good conduct and high moral standards, and must not do anything that violates ethics and morality."

"Second, all disciples of Chaotian Sect must respect their teachers, be filial and respectful, and must not harm their fellow disciples or be disobedient and unfilial."

"Third, disciples must abide by the sect's rules and regulations and obey the arrangements of the sect master and elders."

"Four,."

"The seventeenth and final rule is that you are not allowed to arbitrarily hunt the monsters kept in the back mountains."

There are a total of seventeen points, but in fact the main purposes are just a few: work hard to improve your cultivation, do not go against the will of the sect master and elders, do not defect from the sect, be a person of high moral character, do not slaughter mortals at will, etc.

There is no difference between these and the rules of the orthodox sects.

After all, the "Chaotian Sect" is not an evil sect.

There was one more rule: the monsters kept in the back mountain were not to be hunted at will. This was Chen Lu's request. He also wanted his back mountain to slowly evolve into a place with birdsong and flowers and its own ecosystem. If they were hunted at will, those few monsters would be eaten up in a few days.

After introducing the door rules.

Chen Yucai waved his hand again and said, "Distribute the sect tokens and sect clothing."

Fei Long took another step forward, walked down the stage, and distributed the disciple tokens and uniforms one by one. Soon everyone changed into the sect's uniforms, all in the same grey robes, which looked quite ordinary.

Only on the left chest was the word "嘲" embroidered in white thread.

It means that these people are all members of the Chaotian Sect.

After distributing the clothes, Fei Long introduced again: "The disciple token is embedded with a sound transmission ring, which can be used for free communication between disciples, and to report to the sect in time when going out on missions."

"And you."

Fei Long glanced at the brown bears standing not far away and waved his hand: "You also come forward to receive the disciple tokens and sect uniforms."

"We have one too?"

The young brown bear chief standing at the front was stunned for a moment, then he quickly grinned and ran over happily. He stretched out his two bear paws, respectfully took the disciple token and sect uniform, and bowed with his fists.

I originally thought it was a sect pet.

But now he has transformed himself into a sect disciple.

This is a different status! Disciples are provided with food!
The more than 200 brown bears following behind him also hurried forward to receive their disciple tokens and sect uniforms, and quickly put them on, looking quite naive.

After a cup of tea.

All the outer disciples moved into their own dormitories, where they practiced for the time being. Of course, this did not include the group of brown bears, which were assigned to the back mountain. Their main task was to help Chen Lu herd the spirit beasts in the back mountain.

The leader of the Xingdou Sect was the most powerful alchemist among them. He was arranged to the "Alchemy Hall" and assigned a young disciple to him, who was the alchemist who married the second most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Dao.

This little fellow is indeed quite talented. After being trained by the Star Dou Sect's Sect Master and having the difficulties explained to him in the alchemy inheritance, he successfully obtained the alchemy inheritance, and was quite sensible enough to hand over the "Nascent Soul Body" that he obtained through the inheritance.

The two little guys also stayed in Chaotian Sect and followed the leader of Xingdou Sect to learn how to make pills.

Basically, the configuration of a sect is almost complete.

It's just a bit of abnormal development.

The high-end combat power is almost full, such as Chen Lu and the dozens of Nascent Souls in the future, but the low-end combat power is basically non-existent, and other necessary departments of the sect such as formation repair, talisman repair, and weapon repair are also non-existent.

but.
That’s enough!

After settling all the members of Chaotian Sect, Chen Lu took the scholar and others to leave the small world and rush to "Jingzhou". Things were almost settled. The scholar was now a golden elixir, although it was only the first level of golden elixir.

But after all, he was once the number one swordsman in Da Xia.

As soon as his cultivation was restored, his whole temperament seemed different from before. Just by standing there, he gave people the feeling that there was a sharp sword standing there.

The heat is almost there.

Just a little bit is enough.

In Feicheng City Lord's Mansion, the fat middle-aged man with tears streaming down his face looked at the direction where Chen Yu left with anger and gritted his teeth and said, "National Master, you really don't care about me!"

He is the lord of Feicheng.

Thirty years ago, he was ordered by the imperial teacher to guard Feicheng.

He has always been quite in awe of the Imperial Master. When he learned that Chen Lu was the Imperial Master, he was in disbelief at first. He even went back to the palace to meet the emperor in person, only to find out that the Imperial Master had not been in seclusion three years ago, but had simply reincarnated and started practicing again.

Later, he received the news that Chen Lu's Chaotian Sect was recruiting disciples and preparing to leave the Great Xia Kingdom and go to the Xuantian Continent to seek the opportunity to achieve Nascent Soul enlightenment. He was extremely excited at first. Didn't this mean that he could once again serve the National Master?

Of course, he also had his own little plans in mind.

Just based on all the things he had done for the National Master in the past, Chen Yu would definitely not forget him. He might even come personally to invite him to join the Chaotian Sect. In that case, after he joined the Chaotian Sect, he would be considered to have a high seniority among the disciples.

but.
After he had forced himself to wait patiently for more than twenty days, he discovered that Chen Lu had no intention of coming to the City Lord's Mansion and had even left Feizhou. He was now completely unable to sit still. If Chen Lu really left without him, he would want to die.

"fine."

At this time-

An old man standing behind him said in a deep voice, "Lord City Lord, you once said that everyone has a reason for doing things. People only poop when they want to. No one would pull down their pants and poop on the street for no reason."

"Master Imperial Master must have his reasons for doing this."

"As big as your mother!"

The Lord of Feicheng, who was already somewhat sad and angry, heard his butler being sarcastic here. He couldn't help but feel a nameless anger and pain, and slapped his butler away.

He calmed down a little and secretly made up his mind that he must go to find the imperial teacher in person, otherwise he might really be left behind.
