Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

"Why did you give me this, senior sister?"

Ji Qing asked doubtfully, as he dared not easily accept pills that were offered to him for no reason.

Seemingly aware of Ji Qing's concerns, Chu Lingzhu explained helplessly:

"Junior brother is indeed cautious. Since you have asked, then I will answer you."

Chu Lingzhu took out a ring from her bosom and explained:

"This is a letter-keeping ring. Inside is an envelope I've already written. I want to ask you to help me deliver it to my mother."

My mother is also a cultivator; she lives on Jade Flower Island, which is about a hundred miles away from Heavenly Star City. It's actually quite close.

Oh, is that so? It's that simple.

Ji Qing nodded and asked:

"Then why doesn't Senior Sister go herself? In my opinion, unless you find someone trustworthy to deliver the envelope, aren't you afraid I'll peek at it?"

"Haha, junior brother is really interesting. If you want to see it, then you can. It's just some everyday talk in there anyway."

As for why my junior brother was sent instead of me, it was something I had no choice but to do.

Once you reach our level of cultivation, you can only leave the Star Palace once a year.

The sea monsters are currently in their breeding season, and a monster tide will break out soon. That's why we've been on missions non-stop for the past two years and haven't been home once.

Chu Lingzhu felt very frustrated, but there was nothing she could do.

After learning the whole story, Ji Qing understood the general idea and, realizing there was nothing wrong with it, nodded in agreement.

"Alright, since it's just a letter, then when you have time, you will naturally bring the envelope."

"Alright, thank you very much, junior brother."

Chu Lingzhu smiled and handed the Chuxin Ring to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing reached out and took it, then put it into her storage bag without even looking at it.

Seeing this, Chu Lingzhu was very pleased with her junior brother. After saying a few words of concern to Ji Qing, she left.

.........

And so, after saying goodbye to his senior sister, Ji Qing arrived at Tianxing Market.

As its name suggests, Tianxing Market was established by the Star Palace. In order to ensure the safety and daily needs of Star Palace cultivators, this market is only open to Star Palace cultivators.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the person in charge is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. His surname is Liu, and his given name is Ye. He serves as one of the twelve elders of the Star Palace.

Ji Qing's cultivation level was low, only around the first level of Qi Refining, so under the guidance of the Star Palace cultivators, he arrived at the area where Qi Refining cultivators purchased items.

When Ji Qing arrived here, he was very curious, so he kept looking him up and down.

"Junior brother, what has caught your eye?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing took out a slip of paper from his pocket and said humbly:

"Senior brother, everything I want to buy is in here. Please take a look."

The white-robed cultivator took the slip of paper and glanced at it. Seeing that it contained only some medicinal herb seeds, formations, and medicinal pill recipes, he understood the gist of it and immediately smiled, saying:

"Junior Brother, most of the things you buy are spiritual plants? Could it be that you want to become a spiritual plant master?"

The white-robed cultivator understood Ji Qing very well.

Those with low qualifications will not be accepted by anyone. Even if they join the Star Palace, they will be expelled by the law enforcement officers before long if they do not have an outstanding skill.

However, just as the white-robed cultivator was thinking this, Ji Qing's next words immediately left him speechless:

"Senior brother is indeed wise. What you say is right. Since I became the personal disciple of Elder Jin Kui, I have found that the profession of spirit plant master is quite good. So I plan to learn it to help me get through the boring and tedious cultivation life."

"Um?"

The white-robed cultivator's eyes widened instantly:

"Junior Brother... what did you just say? You've become the Grand Elder's personal disciple?"

"Really? What's wrong?" Ji Qing asked, confused.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright, I was just blind." The white-robed cultivator wiped the cold sweat from his brow, thinking to himself that this person was truly a hidden master.

At such a young age, he was able to become a disciple of Jin Kui.

The most fatal thing is that he actually became the Grand Elder's personal disciple.

Given all this, how bad could his cultivation aptitude be? He's at least at the level of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Having thought all this through, the white-robed cultivator glanced at Ji Qing again and said with concern:

"Junior brother, it's excellent that you have this idea, but with your aptitude, it's best to focus on cultivation. Being a spirit plant master is fine for the transition, but don't pursue further studies. Prioritize improving your cultivation level."

Ji Qing nodded and replied with a cupped hand:

"Thank you for reminding me, senior brother. I understand."

"Haha, you're quite adorable."

After speaking, the white-robed cultivator thought for a moment, picked up the yellow paper in his hand, looked at it, and whispered:

"Senior brother sees several pill formulas in this note. So, I'll take the liberty of giving you a superior pill-refining furnace. What do you think?"

"Oh? Senior brother, how can you do this? This is far too precious."

The white-robed cultivator waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"Junior brother, you flatter me. This alchemy furnace is just sitting there anyway, so it's better to make the most of it and let it play its role. As your senior brother, since I'm giving it to you, I hope you won't refuse."

this…..

Seeing the white-robed cultivator's sincere attitude, Ji Qing finally nodded in agreement:

"In that case, thank you very much, Senior Brother."

"Haha, that's more like it, that's how it should be."

After speaking, the white-robed cultivator led Ji Qing to sit down at the tea table.

"Junior brother, please wait here for a while. I will go and prepare your things. I will come back to find you after I have collected everything."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, senior brother."

"Haha, you're too kind, junior brother."

After speaking, the white-robed cultivator poured Ji Qing a cup of tea and then went upstairs.

Ji Qing waited for about half an hour when a crisp footstep suddenly came from upstairs. When Ji Qing looked up, he saw that the person was undoubtedly a cultivator in white robes.

He was carrying a bulging storage bag and walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"I've kept you waiting, junior brother."

"It's alright, it's alright, it doesn't matter."

After exchanging a few polite words, the white-robed cultivator handed the storage bag to Ji Qing:

"Junior brother, everything you asked for is inside."

"Okay, thank you, senior brother."

Ji Qing took out the spirit stones he had prepared beforehand and placed them on the table. After the white-robed cultivator checked them and confirmed that the quantity was exactly correct, he smiled and said:

"Junior brother is really generous. In that case, let me see you off."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Brother."

.........

After returning to his cave, Ji Qing first set up two sets of formations around the cave.

After he finished doing all that, he carefully took out the spirit herb seed and began to cultivate.

They called it cultivation, but it was really just planting spiritual herbs in the Spirit Field Cave.

Here, Ji Qing first dug away the soil, and then took out the medicinal herb seeds and planted them.

At this moment, only one spiritual herb was planted in the Spirit Field Cave Heaven, so after Ji Qing finished planting the spiritual herb, he returned to the outside world.
