I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"Waiter, two ounces of Bronze Sparrow and two ounces of Small Yellow Dragon."

"Okay, coming right away!"

"Geyunju," a man in a green robe entered a private room on the second floor, skillfully poured a pot of tea, and called out.

Two months have passed since the gathering at Xianhelou Restaurant.

In recent days, many family cultivators have been trying to recruit Su Changming into their "gangs".

But Su Changming refused them all, citing the reason that his family was about to recall him.

This is a good reason, after all, many family cultivators in the Flowing Cloud Sect have had the experience of being suddenly recalled.

Su Changming probably wouldn't stay long, and gradually no one paid him any attention.

Su Changming was happy to have some free time.

When he got tired of cultivating immortality, he would train his body; when he had nothing to do, he would brew tea, eat delicacies, and live a very comfortable life.

"Immortal Master, here are your two ounces of Bronze Sparrow and two ounces of Little Yellow Dragon."

The Bronze Sparrow is an ordinary bird whose feathers are covered in a coppery patina, hence its name.

The Little Yellow Dragon is a type of loach that is a specialty of the Flowing Cloud Sect. Because the Flowing Cloud Sect is rich in spiritual energy, eating it can strengthen the body and prolong life for ordinary people.

However, in Su Changming's eyes, the Bronze Sparrow Meat and the Little Yellow Dragon Meat were the so-called Spirit Void Sparrow Meat and Earth Dragon Meat.

As for the Golden Carp Meat, it was originally a kind of spirit fish raised by the Crane Tower. Other shops did not sell it, and it was very expensive.

At first, Su Changming went to Xianhelou to order food, but found that the identified spiritual meat only had a little spiritual energy. Apart from the good taste, he did not notice any other special effects, so he chose the cheaper Xianyunju.

Perhaps it was because too little was consumed, or perhaps the grade of the food was not high enough.

These days, Su Changming has been eating all his meals at Xianyunju, and he always orders two ounces of Tongque and two ounces of Xiaohuanglong.

Occasionally, I'll order some other dishes to see if I can find anything unexpected.

However, it seems that the spiritual materials that can be identified are not easy to obtain, and so far he has not found any other dishes that can be identified and upgraded.

"Master, this time the total cost is twenty taels of silver..."

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

"Um……"

Su Changming took out two silver ingots from his storage bag, placed them on the table, and strode out.

In most areas of the outer sect of the Liuyun Sect, the currency in circulation is still silver, rather than spiritual coins or spirit stones.

As he walked, Su Changming appeared deep in thought.

For him, low-grade spirit stones could be used as mid-grade spirit stones, and he could replace pills with upgraded spirit herbs.

Not only is it more effective, but it also doesn't cause erysipelas.

Therefore, ordinary pills no longer had much effect on him.

Unless it's a special elixir like the Body-Penetrating Pill.

He could actually exchange the ordinary pills distributed by the sect for spirit stones at the market, but that would attract too much attention, and he found it too troublesome.

Today is the day Su Changming is scheduled to leave the sect.

He was a disciple of Purple Bamboo Peak, and if he wanted to leave Flowing Cloud Sect, he would naturally have to pay his respects to the peak master.

The peak master is not someone a disciple can easily meet, especially the peak master of Purple Bamboo Peak. Fortunately, Su Changming had already sought an audience with the Daoist boy in the other party's residence a long time ago.

I was finally able to see him today.

Before long, Su Changming arrived at the foot of Zizhu Peak.

The physique of a low-level Qi Refining cultivator is not much different from that of an ordinary person. The cave of the Purple Bamboo Peak Master is located at the top of the peak, which is a full three thousand steps high.

There are no houses for disciples to live in at the summit, and a round trip requires crossing six thousand steps, so few disciples of Purple Bamboo Peak go to the peak master for instruction.

For other cultivators at the fourth level of Qi Refining, climbing this path required considerable effort.

But for Su Changming, climbing with the physique of a second-rate martial artist was merely a warm-up.

In just two months, he not only reached the limit of the fourth level of Qi Refining, but also reached the second-rate level of martial arts.

If he hadn't chosen a martial arts technique with profound foundations, he would already be a first-rate master by now.

His innate realm was already comparable to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

However, the higher the Qi Refining stage, the greater the accumulation.

Even someone at the peak of the Innate Realm would likely lose more often than win against someone at the late Qi Refining stage.

"Senior brother, the peak master is in the Zhengxin Hall. Please follow me..."

As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, a young boy in purple robes bowed to him at the entrance.

Seeing that Su Changming's breathing was steady, the little boy looked at Su Changming with a hint of surprise.

Thank you for your trouble.

Su Changming also cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Before long, Su Changming arrived at the Zhengxin Hall. In the center of the hall, a Taoist priest in purple robes was offering incense.

Su Changming followed the gaze and discovered that the purple-robed Taoist was offering incense to a portrait of an old man in white robes with a youthful face and white hair.

Several white cranes circled around the old man in the portrait.

"Su Changming?"

The purple-robed Taoist spoke without turning his head.

"Indeed, Peak Master He."

Su Changming respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

"Not bad, your aura is pure, and you also possess a cultivated body. Now, tell me, what brings you here?"

After placing the incense sticks, He Zhongguang glanced at Su Changming and casually spoke.

"This disciple believes himself to be of inferior talent and that his future is over. Therefore, he intends to return to the family's residence to oversee the family's assets, and has come to inform the Peak Master..."

Su Changming said respectfully.

"Talent is merely an aid; cultivation is fraught with peril, and it is not something that can be accomplished smoothly with just talent."

"I observe that your aura is pure and your physique is strong. You deserve to be an inner disciple. You are young, so do not lose your fighting spirit."

He Chongguang said.

"this……"

Su Changming was immediately caught in a dilemma.

According to his plan, he was preparing to return to his family's base, to take over a management position in another remote place, and to carefully develop his career.

But at this moment, the peak master of Zizhu Peak was thinking of having him participate in the inner sect competition.

The risks involved are considerable...

Even before participating in the inner sect competition, Su Changming had already begun to think about what the consequences would be if he stood out.

"Alright, alright, everyone has their own fate. However, it's been a long time since any of my Purple Bamboo Peak disciples have entered the inner sect. So, if you achieve some success in the inner sect competition, how about I bestow some benefits upon you?"

He Chongguang added.

"Since it is the Peak Master's order, this disciple dares not refuse..."

Su Changming nodded.

Refusing this Foundation Establishment cultivator too many times might have dire consequences...

Although he agreed to He Chongguang's request, Su Changming couldn't help but complain inwardly.

You know that your disciple hasn't entered the inner sect for a long time, right?

He Chongguang set up his cave on the mountaintop and did not build houses for his other disciples, clearly indicating that he did not want to spend time teaching others.

In addition, He Chongguang himself was already at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment at a young age. If it weren't for the fact that the elders of the sect all needed to teach disciples, Liuyun Sect might not even have arranged for these纨绔 (spoiled young masters) disciples to be taught. So they simply let He Chongguang cultivate on the mountain by himself.

But why would Peak Master He want to save face for his Purple Bamboo Peak at this moment? Does he really care?

"Come here and give me a bow."

He Chongguang did not have the ability to read minds and did not know what Su Changming was thinking. He reached out and took out an incense stick, indicating to Su Changming to light it.

"Yes……"

Although Su Changming had doubts, he still did as instructed.

"Take this manual and practice diligently..."

After the incense sticks are inserted into the incense burner and a few wisps of smoke are lit...

He Chongguang suddenly tossed a purple booklet to Su Changming.

The words "Purple Cloud Technique" were prominently displayed above.

"Let's go down the mountain... If there's nothing else, don't bother me."

With a wave of his hand, He Chongguang sent Su Changming away in a gentle breeze.

As soon as Su Changming was pushed out of the courtyard, the wooden door creaked shut.

Looking at the cultivation technique called Zixiao Jue in his hand, Su Changming was at a loss for what to do.

After thinking for a long time, he turned around and went down the mountain.
