Chapter 239 Cultivation World 28
"You all go and tidy up the cave first, and meet at my cave at 7:00 AM tomorrow."

"Yes, Master," the six said, bowing.

After Si Lingle left, the six of them returned to their respective caves.

Upon returning to their cave, the first thing they did was open the gift Si Lingle had given them. They were shocked to see that it contained 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, several hundred mid-grade spirit stones, as well as immortal crystals, various pills and talismans, and so on.

Even Xie Lan and Xu Xian, who came from good families, were somewhat surprised; their master was truly generous.

They actually gave them immortal crystals.

Their families didn't have many immortal crystals, but now their master was offering three low-grade immortal crystals.

After checking the gifts, Xie Lan and Xu Xian immediately contacted their families via telepathy.

Inform them that they have become disciples of True Lord Yunhua.

Xie Lan and Xu Xian are both from the direct line of their family.

Both the Xie and Xu families are clans under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The Xie family resides in Lingzhao City, while the Xu family resides in An'nan City; both are prominent cultivation families.

The Xie family is located in Lingzhao City, and their family power ranks third. The family has an Out-of-Body Ancestor who is an elder of the Refining Peak, and two Nascent Soul stage elders who have not joined the Heavenly Dao Sect and instead guard the family.

Xie Lan's grandfather is the current patriarch of the Xie family, with a cultivation level of the Golden Core Great Perfection.

Xie Lan was supposed to become a disciple of a Nascent Soul stage elder when he was in the Foundation Establishment stage, but he missed the opportunity for various reasons. After Si Lingle announced that he was accepting disciples.

The Xie family's Nascent Soul stage ancestor immediately instructed Xie Lan to register at Thousand Peaks.

If I could become Si Lingle's personal disciple, the Xie family would have another Nascent Soul stage cultivator as a powerful backer.

At that point, the Lin family won't dare to touch the Xie family.

The Xu family is the most powerful family in An'nan City, and they have an ancestor who is at the Nascent Soul stage and is the peak master of Jinshan Peak.

Xu Xian is a direct descendant of the Xu family. His father is the current patriarch of the Xu family and his cultivation level is at the late Nascent Soul stage. His mother's cultivation level is at the early Nascent Soul stage.

He was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect's Weapon Peak, and he also had a single fire spiritual root. With his powerful backing and talent, he could have become an apprentice when he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, but he didn't find a master he liked, so he didn't become an apprentice.

As for signing up for the Thousand Peaks assessment, it was purely to see if Si Lingle was qualified to be his master.

After several tests, Xu Xian found Si Lingle, his master, to be very interesting, so he was willing to become his disciple.

Although Tan Jinxi and Yu Qiuyao's family backgrounds are not as prestigious as Xie Lan and Xu Xian's, they are both from the cultivation world, though they are small families with few members who cultivate immortality.

The family can provide a limited number of cultivation resources, but there are some.

Wei Chenxiao was an orphan. He was picked up by a rogue cultivator who died when he was six years old after being seriously injured by a Foundation Establishment demon beast.

Later, he lived alone. At the age of eight, he entered the Heavenly Dao Sect and became an outer disciple. After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, he became an inner disciple of the Dharma Peak.

Originally, a Nascent Soul True Monarch wanted to take him as a disciple, but because he offended Jia Bo, the grandson of the Third Elder of Fafeng, no one from Fafeng accepted him as a disciple.

Moreover, his cultivation resources were also withheld.

He was cheated out of his money, and had nowhere to seek justice.

This is because the Third Elder is at the late Nascent Soul stage, and he comes from a family of cultivators with many disciples.

Wei Chenxiao was able to advance to the Golden Core stage thanks to his perseverance and his determination to fight to the death by going to various places to train.

As for the secret realm, he has never entered it, because the Jia family would never give him a chance to obtain a spot in the secret realm.

After he advanced to the Golden Core stage, the Jia family even sent cultivators to assassinate him, but he killed them instead.

Because of the assassination attempt, Wei Chenxiao stopped leaving the sect for training and stayed in seclusion within the sect, making it impossible for him to deal with the Jia family.

He was lucky; when he came out of seclusion, he heard that the Nascent Soul True Monarch of Thousand Layer Peak was going to take on a personal disciple, so he immediately went to sign up.

Now that they've registered, the Jia family can't do anything bad even if they wanted to.

The peak master of Thousand Peaks is a Daoist Refining Void Lord, while the highest cultivation level in the Jia family is only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

Chang Cong'an came from the mortal realm. His family had been practicing medicine for generations, and he had been exposed to medicine since childhood. He entered the Heavenly Dao Sect at the age of ten.

He joined the Heavenly Dao Sect, but due to his poor spiritual root aptitude, he entered the Outer Sect Miscellaneous Disciples Peak and became a miscellaneous disciple.

The tasks of the menial disciples were heavy, but the cultivation resources were extremely scarce. It took Chang Cong'an eleven years to cultivate to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

After tidying up their cave dwelling, the six returned to their original lodgings to pack their belongings.

When they returned to their original residence, they encountered many people who came to curry favor with them.

Some even wanted to ask them for help, hoping they could become inner disciples of Thousand Layer Peak.

The vast Thousand-Layer Peak had not a single inner disciple.

Only the peak master and his personal disciples.

There was also a steward, but not even any handymen or disciples.

If you become an inner disciple of Thousand Peaks, the resources will definitely be better than those of other peaks. Other peaks have more people, and the competition for resources is fierce.

When Chang Cong'an, a menial disciple, returned home, it was even more surprising that the stewards of the outer peaks were filled with jealousy and envy.

He couldn't understand how a Qi Refining disciple with five spiritual roots could catch the eye of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The six of them, of course, refused. They packed their things and returned to Thousand-Layer Peak.

The next day, the six arrived at the entrance of Si Ling Le Cave on time.

Si Lingyue emerged from the cave.

First, we tested the spiritual root aptitude of the six people.

Tan Jinxi: Three spiritual roots of metal (82), earth (78), and water (63), late stage of golden elixir.

Wei Chenxiao: Dual spiritual roots of metal (84) and earth (81), mid-stage of Golden Core.

Xie Lan: Dual spiritual roots of gold (80) and fire (74), early stage of Golden Core.

Yu Qiuyao: Water (76), Earth (70), Wood (61) Three spiritual roots, late stage of foundation building.

Xu Xuan: Single Fire Spirit Root (91), early stage of Foundation Establishment.

常从安：金（52）木（50）水（53）火（60）土（56）五灵根，炼气五层。

The youngest is Xu Xian, who has just turned sixteen. He established his foundation at the age of fifteen.

Chang Cong'an was twenty-one years old, which wasn't considered old.

The oldest is Tan Jinxi, but she also has the highest cultivation level, making her the perfect senior sister.

After testing their qualifications, Si Lingle examined them by taking their pulses.

"This is a body-refining technique; you should all practice it. As for the body-refining medicinal bath, I will prepare it for you."

"Spend one hour each day practicing body training."

"Since each of you has a different area of ​​focus, you can arrange your own time as you wish."

"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me anytime."

"Although you have different focuses, I hope that you can all learn about formations."

"Many ancient cultivation caves and treasure troves are protected by array formations. If you understand array formations, you will have more opportunities to obtain them."

"Among the six of you, is there anyone who knows nothing about formations?" Si Lingle asked, looking at the six people.

Chang Cong'an cupped his hands and said, "This disciple has only a superficial understanding of formations and knows very little about them."

“You used to be a menial servant with heavy tasks, so you didn’t have much time to study. I understand.” “You are intelligent and talented. Now that you don’t have to be distracted by tasks, it’s not too late for you to start studying.”

"I will test your formation skills later before arranging your subsequent formation training."

"By the way, Jinxi, the three of you have already reached the Golden Core stage, but you don't have Daoist names yet. I will bestow Daoist names upon you."

"Tan Jinxi's Taoist name is Xuanjing. She is calm, reserved, wise, and responsible. This is what I see in you."

"Although you are the senior sister, you don't need to have too much burden and pressure. I hope you can calm down, focus on your cultivation, and walk your own path of cultivation."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me your Daoist name," Xuanjing said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Wei Chenxiao's Taoist name is Ruochen. I hope you will be humble yet resilient, detached yet compassionate."

"Ruochen thanks Master for bestowing upon him the Daoist name."

"Xie Lan's Daoist name is Yu Jin. You are calm and rational, gentle yet firm. I hope you don't need to care about their opinions. Women can also crush those who discriminate against women when it comes to weapon crafting."

"Yu Jin thanks Master for bestowing upon her a Taoist name."

Afterwards, the formation skills of the six people were tested. Xuan Jing had the highest formation skill, reaching the third level of the upper grade, followed by Yu Qiuyao, who was at the third level of the lower grade.

Apart from Chang Cong'an, the remaining three are all around the first level.

Si Lingle arranged different array formations for them to learn, and then used earth magic at the entrance of the cave to create two pools.

They set up isolation arrays for the two pools, then used water magic to fill them with water and add various spiritual plants and medicinal herbs.

After a series of fire-based spells, the body-refining medicinal bath pool was ready. Si Lingle then had the six people, separated by gender, enter different pools.

After soaking in the medicinal bath, all six of them improved their cultivation levels. The most significant improvement was seen in Chang Cong'an, who directly broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The spiritual plants and medicinal herbs used by Si Lingle are all hundreds of years old and contain rich spiritual energy. Combined with the body-refining techniques, impurities in their bodies are expelled, and their cultivation levels are improved.

After soaking in the medicinal bath, the six returned to their own cave dwellings to study.

Si Lingle also returned to her cave to cultivate.

After that, every day, Si Lingle would spend an hour teaching the six people, solving the problems they encountered, and teaching them formations.

Later, at the request of the six people, the lecture time was increased.

During the lessons, Si Lingle would also lower her cultivation level and fight against the six people.

Instruct them on actual combat.

A month later, the six people's body training had shown some results, so they took care of the medicinal baths themselves.

Chang Cong'an, a disciple with low cultivation, was given a Five-Colored Divine Stone by Si Lingle, who also refined a Five Elements Condensing Yuan Pill for him to improve his aptitude.

Three years later, Si Lingle took turns forging natal weapons for his six disciples.

More than a decade had passed by the time his natal weapon was completed.

"I have taught you everything I could. Now you can go out and gain experience."

More than a decade has passed. Xuan Jing has broken through to the early stage of Nascent Soul, Ruo Chen's cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of Golden Core, Yu Jin has reached the late stage of Golden Core, Yan Yu (Yu Qiuyao) has reached the early stage of Golden Core, Yi Sheng (Xu Xian) has reached the early stage of Golden Core, and Chang Cong'an has reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

After his six disciples went out to gain experience, Si Lingyue went into seclusion.

She needs to retreat and reflect on herself now.

After fifty-seven years of seclusion, Si Lingle emerged from seclusion, having advanced her cultivation to the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

After emerging from seclusion, Si Lingle's disciples were all in the sect, preparing to participate in the battle for the secret realm's quota.

Xuanjing, Ruochen, and Yujin will compete for the spots in the Nascent Soul stage secret realm, while Yanyu, Yisheng, and Yunya (Chang Cong'an) will compete for the spots in the Golden Core stage secret realm.

Si Lingle went to watch the battles of several disciples, who had all worked very hard over the years.

They all received a spot in the secret realm, and before entering, Si Lingle gave them some life-saving items.

After the disciples entered the secret realm, Si Lingle also left the sect to gain experience.

Si Lingle disguised her cultivation level as the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and also disguised herself as a rogue cultivator.

They went to the territory of the Qingxuan Sect for training.

“Fellow Daoist Nan Chu, these are the other six companions. These two are Zi Hui and Lü Yang from the Qingxuan Sect, this one is Xiang Chen from the Shendao Sect, this one is Su Jin from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and these are my good friends Dao Hui and Xin Rui, who are also disciples of the Tianjian Sect,” said Fellow Daoist Zi Zhen from the Tianjian Sect.

"I am Nan Chu, a rogue cultivator and a formation master," Si Lingle said.

After disguising herself, Si Lingle adopted her mother's name as an alias.

This fellow Daoist Zizhen has discovered an ancient treasure map.

He and his friend went to explore first and discovered the existence of the ancient restriction. Based on the level of the restriction, they judged that there was a very dangerous place behind it.

Therefore, the three of them arrived at Broken Cloud City, intending to find a few more people to explore together.

As for how the treasures will be divided, the Heavenly Sword Sect will take 50%, since they provided the map, and the remaining 50% will be distributed according to contribution.

After everyone made the oath against their inner demons, they had three days to prepare.

Three days later, the group set off.

Upon reaching the Liuyun Mountains, Zizhen, the leader, quickened his pace.

After dark, they arrived at the forbidden area.

"Fellow Daoist Nan Chu, how many days will it take you to break this restriction?" Zi Zhen asked.

Si Lingle scanned it with her divine sense and confirmed that it was indeed an ancient restriction, at the eighth level.

This ancient restriction, which Si Lingle had studied, "takes only one day."

"Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Nan Chu to remove it," Zi Zhen said, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Hmm." Si Lingle took out the array flags and began to break the array.

Breaking the restriction wouldn't actually take a day, but Si Lingle pretended that breaking the restriction would consume a lot of spiritual energy. It took her four hours to break it, and then she meditated for an hour to regulate her breathing.

The prohibition was broken intermittently until noon the following day.

Si Lingle already knew about the situation after the restriction was imposed through her Heavenly Eye.

It was a huge underground palace, filled with an eerie atmosphere, so Si Lingle did not allow the simulation robot to enter.

After the restriction was broken, Zizhen entered first, Si Lingle walked in the middle, and Xiang Chen of the Divine Blade Sect walked at the back.

Once inside the passage, there are countless traps.

This boy's cultivation level was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and his sword intent was the Blazing Sun Sword Intent. All the traps were broken by his sword intent.

Upon entering the underground palace, one sees a massive bronze door half-hidden by vines, its doors engraved with ancient runes, and dark gold light slowly flowing between the grooves.

Zizhen lightly touched the beast head relief on the side of the door with his sword sheath, and a loud clang rang out!
The runes on the door suddenly lit up, and the ground trembled as if an earth dragon were turning over.

The rock walls on both sides crumbled away with a deafening roar, and two obsidian giants, each three zhang tall, emerged from the dust and smoke. Ghostly blue flames ignited in their eye sockets, and the grinding sound of their joints was like the grinding of a millstone weighing ten thousand jin. The stone giants' left arms were massive mountain-splitting hammers, and their right arms were inlaid with spiral copper pillars. With each step they took, the ground cracked three inches.

"Trespassers... shall be executed!" A chaotic roar rolled from the stone giant's throat, and its giant hammer, accompanied by a gale, smashed towards Zizhen's spirit!
He retreated swiftly, his toes barely touching the ground, creating a ten-zhang-deep crater in his wake. Amidst the flying debris, Zizhen spun around, drawing his sword. Seventy-two sword energies shot upwards from his spine, transforming into a green lotus sword array to protect his body, forcefully colliding with the sweeping bronze pillar—

"Zheng—!!"

The shockwave exploded, and the sword formation flickered and shattered. Zizhen's tiger's mouth spurted blood, but he used the force to flip onto the stone giant's shoulder and neck, his sword pointing straight at the core of its soul fire! The stone giant slapped its own shoulder blade in return, destroying its own body in an attempt to kill the intruder.

Meanwhile, the others acted simultaneously, stopping the stone giant from self-destructing.
