Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 94 Introduction

Looking up at the sky, Zhang Qing decided to retreat.

This ancient ruin is quite a distance from Canglang Village. Even using the flying technique, it would take a considerable amount of time to return to the camp.

Therefore, for safety reasons, you cannot stay too late.

The closer it gets to dusk, the higher the probability of strange occurrences in the ancient ruins.

Needless to say, it's even worse at night.

To Zhang Qing's surprise, he had just stood up, ready to say goodbye to Miao Miao.

"Meow!"

As a result, the catgirl suddenly jumped up and meowed at him a few times.

Zhang Qing was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Miao Miao stretched out her little paw and tugged at his clothes: "Meow~"

Zhang Qing started to understand: "You want me to wait?"

Miao Miao nodded immediately: "Meow!"

Although Zhang Qing didn't understand why, he didn't object: "Okay."

The next moment, Miao Miao turned and darted into the nearby bushes, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Qing didn't have to wait long.

The kitten girl returned in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!

"Meow!"

She handed Zhang Qing a bronze tripod the size of a palm.

This three-legged cauldron has a simple and ancient shape, with a copper-green surface and is engraved with countless fine cloud patterns and animal ornaments, demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship.

However, about one-third of the body of the cauldron is missing, making it a damaged artifact.

Zhang Qing's first impression upon receiving the small cauldron was that it was quite heavy, but the tingling sensation when his fingertips touched the cauldron was even more striking!

[A powerful substance has been discovered. Should it be absorbed?]

The information that suddenly appeared in his field of vision confirmed to him that this small cauldron was the very item he desperately needed.

But these are not fragments.

It's a ruin!

Although the small cauldron was badly damaged, its internal energy was certainly not diminished.

Suppressing his excitement, Zhang Qing asked, "Is this for me?"

"Meow!"

Miao Miao nodded firmly, then revealed her hidden blade.

It means reciprocity!

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "Thank you."

It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!

He gave the hidden blade to the catgirl in front of him, not because he wanted anything from her.

But Miao Miao gave him a big surprise.

Meow~

A hint of reluctance flickered in Miao Miao's eyes. Then, with a flick of her tail, she turned and disappeared back into the bushes.

This time, she really left.

Zhang Qing let out a long breath and used his flying technique to return to Canglang Village.

Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

Over the past few days, he has worked well with this little cat girl and has even developed a considerable understanding with her.

Although Miaomiao couldn't speak, it didn't matter to Zhang Qing at all.

He considered the other person a friend in his heart.

Unfortunately, it's time to get started.

The next morning, Zhang Qing went to the outer city of Luoshan.

Ten days later, the outer city was even more bustling and prosperous, and the Qingyun Gathering, used by the major immortal sects to select talents, was in full swing.

People on the streets and in the alleys were talking about this grand event.

But all this excitement had nothing to do with Zhang Qing.

He arrived at the Xuanming Lower Courtyard.

Zhang Qing successfully completed the registration process and officially became a prospective disciple of the Xuanming Palace's outer sect.

They also paid a fee of fifty large coins.

This money was his hard-earned savings from hunting!

However, Zhang Qing's friendship was not entirely in vain.

As an outer disciple, he received two sets of disciple robes, a copy of the "Standards for Being a Disciple" and a cultivation technique from the common hall of the Xuanming Lower Academy.

You can choose your own training method.

After reviewing the list of cultivation techniques, Zhang Qing finally chose a forbidden technique.

The cultivation system of the Xuanming Palace can actually be glimpsed from this catalog.

The fundamental law, or rather, the sect's ultimate technique, of this major sect is called the "Mysterious Darkness Great Law," and only elite inner disciples are qualified to practice it.

Then, secret techniques such as the "Nine Netherworld Soul Refining Curse", "Yin Sha Technique", and "Bone Erosion Technique" need to be exchanged with sect merits.

In conclusion, the Xuanming Palace, as a sect of immortals and demons, has mainstream cultivation methods that are biased towards evil and do not quite match Zhang Qing's own main cultivation method, "Xuanming Light Method".

Therefore, unless he changes his cultivation method, he won't have many spells to choose from.

That's why I chose this forbidden technique.

"Imprisonment Spell" is a very practical spell, and it is the foundational method of "Immobilization Spell".

As the name suggests, this spell uses one's own magical power to control or restrict an opponent or oneself.

The higher the realm and the stronger the magical power, the better the binding effect.

To put it bluntly, it's about using force to suppress others!

Zhang Qing currently has no shortage of cultivation techniques to learn; he joined the Xuanming Palace mainly to have a better environment for development and to accelerate his own strength improvement.

However, he had never imagined that he would become a member of the Xuanming Palace.

This can only be described as a coincidence.

After completing the entry procedures, Zhang Qing inquired with the young disciples in the hall and learned that the Xuanming Lower Academy also provided accommodation and meals for new disciples.

However, a corresponding fee needs to be paid.

Moreover, the price for a dormitory-style room is one price, while the prices for a shared room and a single room are different.

The food is similar, but there are different levels and prices!

In addition, newly initiated prospective disciples need to study in the lower academy for three months, and after completing the assessment, they will be assigned different tasks.

Although Zhang Qing didn't have much savings, he gritted his teeth and rented a single room for his cultivation.

Although dormitory rooms and shared rooms are much cheaper, how can Zhang Qing, who possesses the secret of the enhanced panel, squeeze into a room with others?

Anyway, you can earn back the money you spend!

That evening, Zhang Qing checked into the disciples' quarters of the Xuanming Lower Academy.

He immediately realized the benefits of joining a major sect!

The room was very small, and in terms of conditions, it was not as good as the house Zhang Qing rented in Canglang Village.

But the residence of Canglangji is nothing compared to this house.

Because the concentration of spiritual energy here is at least three times that of Canglang Village, or even more!

And these are just ordinary rooms in the lower courtyard. If they were the residences of elders, hall masters, and other important figures, the conditions would be even better.

Furthermore, above the outer gate is the inner gate, and the true lineage of the Xuanming Palace lies within the inner city, above the Luoshan mountain range!

Zhang Qing spent that night in cultivation.

Zhang Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that, thanks to his 4 points in the [Spellcasting] attribute and the buffs brought by the new environment, his efficiency in practicing the "Mysterious Illumination Light Technique" had greatly increased, and his cultivation and energy flow were smoother and more effortless.

Although he had considered the benefits before, he only realized how wonderful it was now that he was actually experiencing it.

Just thinking about the scions of those powerful sects and aristocratic families, who start their cultivation in an environment far stronger than this from a young age...

Zhang Qing could only sigh inwardly: Different people, different fates!

All he could do was keep improving himself and not waste a single moment.

But the next morning, Zhang Qing arrived at the Dharma Discussion Hall of the Lower Temple on time.

Listen to the speech of the superior leader.
