Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 128 The news spread, shocking cultivators in both cities (Please subscribe)
Then Song Shutao picked up the application report that Yang Feng handed her and looked at it.

The form contained a detailed list of Yang Feng's personal information.

This includes Yang Feng's current age, job, the time when his cultivation broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the specific time when he raised his cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the mid-Foundation Establishment Realm and the mid-second stage, etc.

In addition, Yang Feng's application report also included several official authoritative test reports from the Xia Kingdom regarding Yang Feng's bone age and his cultivation levels in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit.

"At the age of 49, his cultivation level broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"I'm 59 this year, and I'll be 60 in ten months."

"Among them, in terms of Qi cultivation, I broke through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment half a year ago. In terms of Divine Soul, I broke through to the mid-stage of the second tier three months ago. And in terms of Physical Strength, I broke through to the mid-stage of the second tier eight days ago."

"From the initial entry into the Foundation Establishment Realm to raising the cultivation of the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage and mid-stage of the second stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, it only took ten years. That's quite a fast cultivation speed."

"It's just that I'm a bit too old. It would be great if I were ten years younger."

After carefully reviewing the application information and several test reports filled out by Yang Feng, Song Shutao felt slightly surprised and also a little regretful.

With his knowledge and vision, if Yang Feng had only spent about ten years raising his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the mid-stage of the second tier, he would have been able to understand the implications.

With such a cultivation speed, there is a great chance that one will achieve a false core, or even a true core, in the future.

However, Yang Feng is now close to 60 years old. According to the optimal age for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to form a Core Formation, he only has about 60 years left to improve himself.

In Song Shutao's view, raising one's Qi Refining cultivation to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment within sixty years, and also raising one's spiritual and physical cultivation to the late stage of the second tier, was no easy task.

After all, the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, especially when one must simultaneously cultivate the Dharma, body, and spirit, which multiplies the difficulty.

However, thinking that her academy had finally produced a talent qualified to apply for joining the Zhengfa Academy, Song Shutao was still very happy.

"Dean, to be honest, I am 59 years old this year, and I have less than a year left before I can apply to join the court."

"Therefore, I hope the dean can help me and expedite the approval process."

After reviewing their application reports, Dean Yang Feng and the others took out a generous gift worth tens of millions from their storage rings and handed it to the other party.

The application process for joining the Zheng Court is quite complicated and requires approval from someone of the rank of the City Lord of Tianlan Immortal City.

Important figures like the city lord of Tianlan Immortal City usually have to cultivate and handle various important government affairs.

Yang Feng was worried that he was too old, and if he submitted his application directly to the relevant departments of the Tianlan Xiancheng government, the process might take too long and cause him to exceed the age limit.

That's why Yang Feng thought of finding the dean of their academy, hoping that the dean's status, position, and connections could help him speed up the approval process and get the approval approved as soon as possible.

"Xiao Yang, take the gift back."

"As the abbot of the Taoist temple, it is my duty to apply for your membership in the Zhengfa Academy."

"Don't worry, just go back and wait for the notification. I will report your application to the city lord as soon as possible. I will definitely not let you miss this opportunity to join the Zhengfa Court."

When Song Shutao saw Yang Feng hand her an expensive gift, she thought about how Yang Feng had raised his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and the mid-stage of the second stage in just ten years. After hesitating for a moment, she thought that since Yang Feng had entered the Zhengfa Academy, he still had a great chance of reaching the Pseudo-Core Realm in the future. So she decided to do Yang Feng a favor and agreed to help him, and she did not accept the gift from Yang Feng.

"Then I'll have to trouble the dean to do that."

Yang Feng tried twice, and seeing that the dean really didn't want to accept the gift he gave, he didn't press the matter. He then thanked the dean and took his leave.

With the help of a pseudo-Dan realm cultivator like the dean, Yang Feng's application to join the Zheng Court was indeed processed much faster.

Just seven days later, Yang Feng received a notice from the Tianlan Immortal City government office, asking him to go to the city lord's mansion to meet the city lord.

After receiving the notification, Yang Feng arrived at the city lord's mansion ahead of time to await the summons, as agreed.

After waiting for about half an hour, Yang Feng, led by a secretary, finally met Yunhe Zhenren, the city lord of Tianlan Immortal City.

This was also the cultivator with the highest cultivation level that Yang Feng had seen since his transmigration.

According to Yang Feng's understanding, the city lord of their Tianlan Immortal City is a True Core Realm cultivator who is not yet three hundred years old and is in his prime, although it is said that his current cultivation level is only at the early stage of the True Core Realm.

However, given his age, there is still hope that he can make further progress in his spiritual practice in the future.

"Junior Yang Feng greets the City Lord."

Because of the vast difference in their cultivation levels and social status, Yang Feng entered the city lord's office and immediately bowed respectfully to a middle-aged man sitting at his desk.

"Ah."

"Yang Feng, I have read your application report. According to the relevant policies issued by Xia Guo, you are indeed qualified to apply to join the Zheng Court."

"However, as the person in charge of the approval process, I still need to personally examine you again today. If your qualifications in all aspects do meet the requirements for applying to join the Zheng Court, I will immediately process your approval procedures."

Master Yunhe nodded to Yang Feng, then gave him a brief explanation. After obtaining Yang Feng's consent, he took out a testing artifact from his storage ring and began to test Yang Feng's cultivation level and bone age.

"Bone age 59 years old."

"His magical power cultivation is at the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Soul cultivation at the mid-stage of the second level."

"Physical cultivation at the mid-stage of the second tier."

A beam of light shot out from the magical artifact in Master Yunhe's hand, enveloping Yang Feng's entire body.

Soon, information about Yang Feng's cultivation in terms of Dharma, body, and spirit, as well as his bone age, appeared on a display screen on the magic artifact.

"Xiao Yang, I've seen your file."

"The fact that you were able to raise your cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the mid-stage of the second stage in just ten years shows that you have quite good talent in cultivation."

"I hope you will continue to work hard and strive to break through to the Core Formation Realm in the future."

A few days ago, after receiving a document from the Dean of Tianhe Dao Academy regarding Yang Feng's application to join the Zheng Court, Master Yunhe took the matter quite seriously.

After all, in the entire Tianlan Immortal City, it is rare to find even one cultivator who can cultivate their Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the mid-stage and mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of sixty.

According to his understanding, such a talent, if he were to pursue further studies at the Zhengfa Academy, would have at least a 20-30% chance of achieving the Pseudo-Dan Realm.

Although such achievements still fall short of his own, they are enough to attract his attention, and he might even be willing to befriend him in advance. After all, even a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator holds a considerable position in the Xia Kingdom.

In Master Yunhe's view, it was good to establish a positive relationship with Yang Feng now, as it might give him more valuable connections in the future.

After offering Yang Feng a few words of encouragement, Master Yunhe then took out paper and pen, wrote a letter of recommendation stamped with the city lord's seal, and handed it to Yang Feng, saying:
"Xiao Yang, keep this letter of recommendation safe. When you go to the court, you only need to show this letter of recommendation to complete the admission procedures."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng respectfully accepted the letter of recommendation, glanced at it carefully, and then cautiously put it into his storage ring.

Upon returning to the academy, Yang Feng immediately bought some inexpensive gifts, such as spirit fruits and spirit tea, and went to the dean's residence to thank him once again.

The dean, seeing that the gift from Yang Feng wasn't too expensive, accepted it without refusing.

……

"Hey, did you guys hear that?"

"Our Taoist priest, Master Yang Feng, has reportedly passed the approval of the Zhengfa Court."

“I estimate that he will be going to Kyoto for further studies in a few days. Do you think we should go and congratulate him again before he leaves?”

Then, a few days later...

The news that Yang Feng had applied to join the Zheng Court and had been approved quickly spread among the many teachers at the Taoist Academy.

Many Taoist priests were astonished when they heard the news.

Although before this, a teacher from the academy saw that Yang Feng was not yet sixty years old and had broken through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He once visited to offer his congratulations and subtly inquired whether Yang Feng had any plans to enter the regular court.

But that was just a bold guess made by a small number of people to flatter Yang Feng; they never thought that Yang Feng could actually do it.

After all, as Foundation Establishment cultivators, they knew better than anyone how difficult it would be to raise their cultivation in terms of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the mid-stage and mid-stage second-order Foundation Establishment realms before the age of sixty.

Moreover, according to their understanding, Yang Feng was nearly fifty years old when he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Although the other party only took less than ten years to raise their magical power to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

However, they did not believe that Yang Feng could simultaneously raise both his spiritual and physical cultivation to the mid-stage of the second tier in just ten years.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Feng actually achieved this level of cultivation progress that shattered their understanding.

This greatly shocked many teachers in the academy, who realized that Yang Feng possessed such terrifying talent for cultivation, and that his future achievements were probably limitless.

As a result, some of the Taoist priests who had developed a relationship with Yang Feng over the years began to discuss trying to cultivate a closer relationship with him.

In case Yang Feng becomes a pseudo-Core Formation Realm cultivator or even a true Core Formation Realm cultivator in the future.

At that time, they might be able to leverage this past colleague relationship to gain many conveniences and hidden benefits in the future.

Yang Feng had no idea that after returning to the Taoist academy, he finally found some peace and quiet in the past few days, but then news spread throughout the academy that his application to join the Zhengfa Court had been approved, and his residence became bustling with visitors again.

Yang Feng was overwhelmed and helpless as teachers from the Taoist academy kept coming to congratulate him.

Fortunately, a few days later, Yang Feng's resignation was approved. He posted a message of thanks and farewell in the academy's teachers' group, then packed his belongings and set off for the Kyoto Seifaku (Kyoto Imperial Court), finally free from his predicament.

However, after Yang Feng left Tianlan Immortal City, it was revealed that he had raised his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the mid-stage of the second tier in just ten years.

The news that he would enter the Zhengfa Academy to cultivate before the age of sixty was still spreading among the various Foundation Establishment cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City.

"That Yang Feng actually raised his cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the mid-stage and mid-stage of the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in just ten short years? This cultivation speed is too abnormal!"

Soon after, Zhao Chengshan, the director of the Tianlan Secret Realm Office, learned of this news and was so shocked that he was speechless.

After Yang Feng successfully established his foundation, Zheng Meng'en, who had also successfully established his foundation by harvesting the Golden Jade Ganoderma from the Tianlan Secret Realm, learned of this news...

Thinking that ten years have passed and his magical power cultivation has only reached the second level of Foundation Establishment, while his spiritual and physical cultivation is still at the first level of the second stage, his mood was extremely complicated.

I feel that my progress in the past ten years of spiritual practice is probably not as good as someone else's progress in a single year.

Furthermore, as time went on, not only many Foundation Establishment cultivators in Tianlan Immortal City, but also many Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yunshi Immortal City heard the news that Yang Feng had joined the Zhengfa Academy.

"When I first saw Yang Feng raise his cultivation to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage in less than ten years, I knew that Yang Feng was no ordinary person."

"I never expected that Yang Feng would be so much more monstrous than I imagined."

"Perhaps Yang Feng possesses some great opportunities, but given his current status and position, he is simply beyond my reach."

When Luo Weixiang learned that Yang Feng had raised his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the mid-stage of the second tier in just ten years, he sighed inwardly.

"I never expected that Yang Feng would actually get into the regular court. It seems I underestimated him back then."

"However, given my cultivation level and strength, even if I had coveted the opportunity he possessed, I probably wouldn't have been able to kill him, and I might even have been killed by him instead."

When Cai Chengshen learned that Yang Feng had been admitted to the Zhengfa Court, he felt a mix of emotions, unsure whether to be happy or regretful.

As for the other Foundation Establishment cultivators who knew Yang Feng, such as his cousin Liao Xianwei, Xu Yonghui, Xue Hai, and others...

Upon learning that Yang Feng had raised his cultivation in the three aspects of law, body, and spirit to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and the mid-stage of the second tier in just ten years, and had gone to the Zhengfa Academy for further study, he was expected to become a Core Formation cultivator in the future.

While everyone was shocked, they all sincerely sent congratulatory messages to Yang Feng.

"Sigh, I never imagined that more than a decade would have passed."

"My junior brother, who was weaker than me back then, has grown to such a level now."

Finally, even Liu Yuanzhi and Chen Yuwen learned from their teacher Xu Wenqing that Yang Feng had entered the Zhengfa Court for further studies.

The two realized that more than a decade had passed, and their cultivation was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while Yang Feng's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. A great sense of frustration arose in their hearts.
