After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 33 Escape

Unbeknownst to Mo Jiuwei, while she was away, the members of the Xianlai Sect were gathered together exchanging ideas.

"That mnemonic is absolutely brilliant!"

"Really, I used to absorb spiritual energy on my own when I cultivated, I never thought that spiritual energy could be collected in this way."

"Yeah, catching one and then bringing them back is so much fun!"

"I have to say, I used to find cultivation boring and tedious, but now it's suddenly become a lot more fun."

"If I had known about this method earlier, my cultivation level would have been much higher than just the Qi Refining stage!"

This novel cultivation method was unheard of by anyone; not only was it unheard of in their surroundings, but it had also never been seen in jade slips.

Ji Qingqing was the first to succeed. She immediately told everyone about the results after trying it, and at that time they were still skeptical because her description was so surprising that it overturned everyone's understanding.

Cultivation relies on capturing spiritual energy? And how much can you capture and absorb?

How is this possible!
But after trying them, they all turned out to be surprisingly good.

"Junior Sister Jiuwei knows so much. I wonder what kind of great being she is reincarnated from." Hu Jiu clicked his tongue. "You don't know, when I saw her today, I almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her."

"...Actually, I had the same thought, but I held back. Kneeling isn't the problem; the main issue is that it would be difficult to explain afterwards," Du Yue said, touching her nose.

After she finished speaking, everyone, including Liu Feng, nodded in agreement.

“If it were an ordinary powerful being, even if they were reincarnated, they might not have this ability. I suspect that Jiuwei is very likely a reincarnation of a true immortal who failed to ascend,” Liu Feng guessed.

The term "true immortal" does not refer to a real deity. A real deity is simply a "deity" and not a "true immortal."

A true immortal refers to someone who is halfway to becoming a deity, meaning a cultivator who has met the conditions for ascension but failed to ascend due to an accident and died.

Although he did not successfully ascend, his strength was only half a step behind, far surpassing that of ordinary powerful beings.

"If that's the case, then it would be a real waste for her to stay with our Immortal Sect." Chen Lan became somewhat uneasy.

Such a gifted child can even go to the top sect, Penglai Island. Once there, she will receive the most precious resources in the world, whether it is famous teachers, magical artifacts or spiritual energy arrays, she can get the best of everything.

In this way, her cultivation speed will reach its maximum, and she will not waste a single day. The speed at which she breaks through each realm will break the records left by previous cultivators.

However, the Immortal Sect... has limited resources.

Even if they had enough money, their status in the sect would still be inferior to those prestigious families, making it difficult for them to obtain truly valuable items.

Take the Qiankun Immortal Abode as an example. Even if the Immortal Sect and Penglai Island had the same wealth, if an Immortal Abode were to be presented to them, its owner would not hesitate to sell it to Penglai Island, but not to the Immortal Sect.

From this perspective, Jiuwei is truly wasting her talents at the Immortal Sect.

“That is true, but it is absolutely impossible for us to send her to another sect.” Liu Feng frowned. “Jiuwei is still too young and has no ability to protect herself. If she is approached by someone with ulterior motives, she may be in danger.”

"That's right! Those powerful sects aren't necessarily good. They have serious internal power struggles, and the leaders aren't of one mind. If Jiuwei falls into their hands, she'll definitely be in trouble."

"Even setting aside Jiuwei's special qualities, just considering our relationship, I wouldn't bear to give her to someone else." "Exactly! We're getting along so well, what kind of logic is it to suddenly send her away?"

"That's right, unless her biological parents show up, we won't give it to anyone!"

"Even if her own parents showed up, we can't give it to her! If they were reliable, how could Jiuwei have almost frozen to death on the street?!"

Hearing what everyone said, Liu Feng nodded.

“Jiuwei has her own will, and none of us have the right to make decisions for her. While she stays, we will take good care of her and give her priority access to all the sect's resources. When she wants to leave in the future, we will not stop her.”

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

That's right. Jiuwei isn't some naive child. Whether she stays or leaves, she can make her own decision.

All they can do is fully support her when she makes a decision!
On this day, two families suddenly arrived from the Immortal Sect. They had heard of the Immortal Sect's reputation and wanted to have their children become disciples.

Unfortunately, when they saw the few scattered disciples of the Immortal Sect and the dilapidated mountain gate, they were so frightened that they turned around and left on the spot, as if they had encountered some kind of fraudster.

No matter how Liu Feng shouted, they didn't even turn their heads; it was practically a hasty retreat.

After they left, the people of the Immortal Sect stood silently in the wind, bewildered.

"These two families probably heard about the Immortal Sect's reputation when we were having spiritual soup at the restaurant that day," Chen Lan said with a wry smile. "It's a pity we couldn't keep them here."

“One of them has three spiritual roots and the other has four spiritual roots. These are not considered top-quality spiritual roots, yet they look down on us…” Hu Jiu covered her face.

These two individuals have no chance of standing out in any mid-tier or higher sect; they would only become mediocre members of the same sect. It would be better for them to stay in the Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Sect might not have been worth it in the past, but now that it has some money and has Mo Jiuwei, a hidden big shot, its ability to make money and guide cultivation is beyond question!
Unfortunately, they couldn't tell them about Mo Jiuwei, and neither family gave them a chance to persuade her; they all ran away faster than rabbits!
"Fine, they look down on us, and we look down on them too! If they don't want to come, fine." Meng Ling snorted. "Do you expect us to beg them to become our disciples?"

"If they don't want to come, they don't have to. We can take them in later when we've developed our business." Liu Feng waved his hand. "By the way, the Three Arts Flower Gate is about to open. How are your preparations going?"

Hu Jiu, Du Yue, and Meng Ling exchanged a glance, all feeling somewhat uneasy.

"I don't know either... but it shouldn't be at the very bottom, right?" Hu Yue said softly.

“Yes, we’ve only studied for a short time, and we haven’t participated in any exchanges with our peers during this period, so it seems we have nothing to compare with.” Hu Jiu scratched his head.

"It should be alright? I feel like I'm forging weapons much more smoothly now than when I first started learning." Meng Ling wasn't sure either, "It's just that Junior Sister Jiuwei is still dissatisfied with my skills..."

The dissatisfaction manifested in complaints that she practiced too slowly, that her movements were not refined enough, and that she was too nervous, among other things.

It seems that no refining process was ever perfect.

After Meng Ling finished speaking, Du Yue and Hu Jiu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, us too... It's probably because our current performance is not good enough for our junior sister."

Thinking about it this way, I felt very disappointed.
