Mortal Cultivation: I have a proficiency panel

All the cultivators present watched Wang Jue defeat the young man surnamed Zhao so easily, and the whole process was even playful. This made them feel surprised, and they also felt that Wang Jue was not so easy to get along with.

The next two contenders for the spiritual land did not go up to the stage, but chose to admit defeat. After all, they were all senior Qingming Guards and naturally had their own spiritual lands. They came here only under orders to examine Wang Jue's strength.

However, they did not expect that the strength Wang Jue showed in the first fight was enough to shock them, and even if they took the stage, there would be no better effect, so they simply admitted defeat. After all, their goal had been achieved.

In fact, there are also some Qingming Guards who are interested in the spiritual land of Cuilong Mountain. However, their cultivation is similar to Wang Jue, but their actual combat power is far inferior to Wang Jue. Naturally, they will not compete with those senior Qingming Guards for the chance to fight.

Old Wang also smiled as he watched Wang Jue gain victory. Although he knew that Wang Jue had high attainments in body refining, he did not expect that he could defeat Zhao Wufeng so easily. Moreover, Wang Jue's physical defense was already comparable to that of high-grade spiritual treasures.

No one knew Wang Jue’s real purpose, and when Wang Jue saw that the remaining two competitors gave up the fight for the spiritual land, he was a little disappointed, because he still wanted to obtain magical powers from them.

However, Wang Jue didn't want to ask them to continue fighting, because that would seem very strange. As far as Wang Jue knew, both the Qingming Guard and the Tianyuan Guard would hold martial arts performances every once in a while in order to motivate them. The winners would receive resource rewards and would be noticed by important figures.

So Wang Jue was not in a hurry. He took out his Qingming jade pendant and gave it to Old Wang. Then Wang Jue imprinted the control and forbidden runes of the Cuilong Mountain spiritual land on it. From then on, this spiritual land would be Wang Jue's private territory.

This Qingming Jade Pendant is owned by every Qingming Guard. This treasure itself is a low-grade spiritual treasure that can be used to communicate with other cultivators. It also records all the information in Tianyuan City, naturally including the number of contribution points. You can also go to Yuque Pavilion to exchange things with this thing.

When Wang Jue took his Qingming Jade Pendant back from Old Wang, he found that there were 10,000 more contribution points in it. He looked at Old Wang in confusion, but Old Wang just smiled and said, "This is a reward for you. Practice well. When you break through to the Void Refining Stage, an elder will accept you as his personal disciple."

Old Wang did not ask which elder wanted to accept Wang Jue as a disciple, and Wang Jue did not ask either. He knew that he was just trying to interest the elder and then gave him some benefits. But if he wanted to be really noticed by the elder, he would have to perform even better.

Next, Han Li also joined the fight for the spiritual land, but he was fighting for a second-rate spiritual land, and Wang Jue was not interested in watching it, so he flew to Cuilong Mountain according to the map in the Qingming Jade Pendant.

The spiritual lands where the Qingming Guards of Tianyuan City live are basically in the same area, but they are separated by defensive formations. And according to the rules here, other cultivators are not allowed to enter without permission from the master of the spiritual land. If they violate the rules, even the highest-ranking Tianyuan Guards will be punished.

Although Cuilong Mountain is said to be a mountain, it can actually be seen as a mountain range, and the area within a thousand miles is all spiritual land. It’s just that Cuilong Mountain is the highest peak among them, and the spiritual energy is the most abundant.

When Wang Jue arrived at the sacred place of Cuilong Mountain, he did not immediately use the Qingming Jade Pendant to open the defensive formation. Instead, he used his attainments in formation to observe the defensive formation here. The formation here seemed to be operating independently, but its core energy source was the main spiritual vein of Tianyuan City.

If someone attacks the defensive formation without authorization, the situation here will be immediately transmitted to the main tower of Tianyuan City, where the most powerful elders live.

Therefore, Wang Jue was very satisfied that he could ensure the absolute safety of his spiritual land inside Tianyuan City. In this way, he could rest assured to leave Zi Ling and other girls in the spiritual land of Cuilong Mountain, which would be more convenient for them to practice.

After Wang Jue opened the restriction of Cuilong Mountain and entered it, he found that the concentration of spiritual energy here was higher than that of Tianyuan City as a whole. This was the advantage of a spiritual land. Wang Jue could not believe how high the concentration of spiritual energy in the main tower space where the elders practiced was.

After all, the main tower accommodates the most powerful elders from the human and demon races. They are all at the fusion stage and above, and the resources they need for their daily training are naturally unimaginable.

However, Wang Jue also knew that most of the cultivation resources in Tianyuan City were sent from the territories of the Three Emperors and Seven Kings, and were also collected by the cultivators of the two tribes in the wild world.

In other words, the lands of the two tribes supported a Tianyuan City, but the peak combat power therein also guaranteed the status and safety of the two tribes, otherwise they would have been swallowed up by other tribes long ago.

The living environment in the spiritual world is much more cruel than that in the human world. People survive according to clans. If the strongest person is not strong enough, they will be controlled by other clans, and in the end they will most likely die and their clan will be destroyed. Therefore, all the monks of the two clans are happy to support these elders.

At the same time, Tianyuan City is also responsible for discovering and cultivating outstanding talents from the two races. However, they are only of some value if they reach the Void Refining Stage or above. In fact, they have no say in the Spiritual World's God Transformation Stage, and there are countless Yuanying Stage talents.

There is a cave in Cuilong Mountain left behind by a previous cultivator who died while surviving a thunder calamity. Wang Jue naturally doesn't like to live in a place where someone else has lived.

So Wang Jue cleaned up all the traces left by his predecessor, which is also what all cultivators would do after obtaining a spiritual land.

However, Wang Jue did not build any cave, but directly took out the Tianji Palace that he had refined by himself and started to decorate it. In less than a few days, the entire Cuilong Mountain was completely renewed and turned into a paradise for immortals.

The pavilions, towers, and beautiful buildings can be said to be extremely luxurious and elegant. This is because Wang Jue has lived in Miaoyin Gate for a long time and naturally developed extremely high taste and lifestyle. Wang Jue even arranged a spirit gathering formation around the main peak, which increased the concentration of spiritual energy here by several levels.

Then Wang Jue transferred Zi Ling and other women out of the Xuhuang Palace. They were all very surprised when they saw the new environment, but Wang Jue reminded them not to break through their cultivation before washing away the aura of the lower realm on their bodies. After all, the two-colored thunder tribulation was no joke, and they would definitely not be able to stop it with their strength.

Next, Wang Jue would have to quickly obtain a large number of contribution points to purchase enough Dust-Mieting Pills. This would be a huge expense. Although the Qingming Guards could obtain a Dust-Mieting Pill for free every year, they would have to take it continuously for three hundred years to complete the task.

But Wang Jue couldn't possibly not break through in the next three hundred years, and his fellow Taoists couldn't wait, so he had to obtain the Dust-Extinguishing Pill through other means. It would be great if he could get the recipe for the Dust-Extinguishing Pill. With Wang Jue's alchemy level, as long as the herbs were sufficient, he could mass produce the Dust-Extinguishing Pill. However, Wang Jue also knew that Tianyuan City had strict control over the Dust-Extinguishing Pill, and the spiritual medicine required for the refining of the Dust-Extinguishing Pill was also very precious and not so easy to obtain.

Moreover, Tianyuan City also uses the Dust-Mieting Pill to control those ascenders from the lower world and their descendants of monks, so they naturally will not let these people escape from control.

But the king is completely different. He now has a big family to support, and he is a very responsible man. Since his fellow Taoists follow him, he has to consider their future. However, as more and more fellow Taoists join, he has to flip cards every day to decide who will serve him. This is a life that only ancient emperors could enjoy.

In addition to building their own cave for cultivation, Wang Jue also opened a large spiritual medicine garden in the spiritual land of Cuilong Mountain. He usually asked Zi Ling and other women to take care of it. If there were any precious spiritual medicines that were accumulated, Han Li would use his little green bottle to ripen them and increase their age.

Now Han Li has almost become Wang Jue's herbal farmer. Every time they meet, Han Li hands over the thousand-year-old elixir to Wang Jue.

After Wang Jue resolved the matter of the spiritual land, he went straight to Yuque Palace alone. He wanted to obtain the complete cultivation method and magical powers. This was what he cared about most now.

After Wang Jue arrived at Yuque Palace, he took out the Qingming Jade Pendant and showed the steward the remaining 10,000 contribution points. Then he went up to the third floor. He was greeted by a smiling fat man who called himself Zeng Cheng. He had the cultivation level of the middle stage of Lianxu, but he was very kind to the guests.

After Wang Jue stated his goal, the fat steward listed a number of high-level skills, but they could basically only be practiced to the initial stage of fusion, and there were no more skills after that.

Wang Jue frowned and asked, "Manager Zeng, don't you have a complete method that can be cultivated to the Mahayana stage?"

Manager Zeng smiled upon hearing this and said, "My dear guest, the techniques you mentioned are naturally available in my Yuque Palace, but the quantity is very small and the price is very high. Your contribution points are far from enough. The techniques I recommend to you are enough for you to practice to the Fusion Stage, and you can only purchase part of them now."

When Wang Jue heard what Manager Zeng said, he knew that this guy was hinting that he was very poor now, and even with the 10,000 contribution points given by Old Wang, it would not be enough to buy the good things he wanted.

So Wang Jue inquired about the prices of various high-end items. When he saw the long zeros at the end of the price list, he fully realized his poverty, but he would not give up just like that.

Wang Jue's mind raced and he quickly came up with a solution. He then asked, "Do you have any ancient techniques in your collection? It doesn't matter what the demanding cultivation requirements are, as long as they can be cultivated to the Mahayana stage, and also include the matching magical powers. It would be even better if there are immortal-level techniques handed down from ancient times."

Manager Zeng couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this. Although he always adhered to the industry standard of treating guests as guests and respecting them, Wang Jue's strange request still made him break down.

Manager Zeng held back the urge to complain. He thought for a moment and said, "We do have the ancient techniques that the customer requested, but even though basically no one can practice them now, their collection value is still very high, and the customer's contribution points are still insufficient."

Wang Jue did not feel frustrated when he heard what Manager Zeng said, but was very happy instead. He thought that what he wanted was indeed in the Yuque Palace, and he just needed to confirm this. As for the 10,000 contribution points given by Old Wang, he could basically only buy a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

Wang Jue looked at Manager Zeng seriously and said, "Manager Zeng, in addition to being a Qingming Guard, I am also a master of making spiritual tools and refining pills. As long as you have the materials and the recipe, I can refine them for you, and they are of the highest quality or above. I would like to ask if we can establish a long-term cooperative relationship. If you provide the spiritual medicine seeds and recipes, I will help you refine the pills. If you provide the spiritual materials, I will refine the corresponding high-level spiritual tools."

Manager Zeng looked at Wang Jue's serious eyes and couldn't help but pursed his lips. He sighed and said, "My dear guest, I have seen many cultivators like you who want to obtain treasures in this way, but you don't know that there are not many cultivators who can meet our requirements. My Yuque Palace only accepts fine products, and there is a strict management system. Unless you can pass the test first and become a low-level worshiper of my palace, you can't do that."

Wang Jue was delighted when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "Then how can I become a worshiper of your store?"

When Manager Zeng saw Wang Jue's eager look, he knew that he was another young man who wanted to take a shortcut, so he asked a maid to take Wang Jue to the examination room of Yuque Palace. There were no less than a hundred people gathered here, all of whom wanted to take the examination to become low-level priests of Yuque Palace.

Wang Jue sensed the fluctuations of magic power at the initial stage of fusion emanating from the assessment room, which shocked him. It turned out that the person presiding over the assessment here was a high-level cultivator at the elder level. The foundation of the Yuque Palace was truly unfathomable.

There are people here who specifically explain the rules to these assessors. It turns out that the Yuque Palace has its own offering system. Only after passing its assessment and level selection can they enter into a cooperative relationship with it. As long as they can provide refined spiritual tools and elixirs on time, they can obtain corresponding contribution points.

Moreover, as a worshiper of Yuque Palace, you can get discounts when purchasing treasures. However, in the short term, compared to refining medicine and weapons on your own, the benefits of becoming a worshiper of Yuque Palace are definitely less. Basically, those cultivators who do not plan to develop here for a long time will not choose to join Yuque Palace.

But Wang Jue felt that Tianyuan City was a good place for steady development, so it was also very good to live and practice here for a long time. Everything he needed could be obtained here, so he did not care about the price he paid now.

The assessment this time is to let the cultivators refine a kind of incarnation-level elixir called Yuqing Pill. The examinees need to hand in 5,000 contribution points, and then they will get the Yuqing Pill recipe and corresponding spiritual medicine provided by Yuque Palace. If they can refine a furnace of high-quality Yuqing Pill within half an hour, they will pass the test.

This requirement can be said to be very strict, and not many cultivators can pass it. After all, there are very few cultivators who can improve their alchemy skills to such a level. They basically spend a lot of time and resources on improving their cultivation.

After Wang Jue got the recipe of Yuqing Pill, he mastered all the details of alchemy just by deducing it in his mind. Then he took part in the alchemy test. In the end, he completed it in less than ten minutes. Moreover, a furnace of high-quality Yuqing Pills had no flaws. He was directly rated as top-notch by Yuque Palace and became its high-level worshiper.

Next, Wang Jue took the large amount of spiritual medicine given by Yuque Palace back to Cuilong Mountain to make pills to earn contribution points while practicing the follow-up part of the God and Demon Body Refining Art. He didn't expect that the task that Qingming Guards had to perform at regular intervals would be his turn. (End of this chapter)
