Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

Only by joining the Hundred Arts Alliance can one hope to compete for a spot in the Five Elements Sect, which is offered only once every five years.

"The condition for joining the Hundred Arts Alliance is that the level of a certain cultivation skill must be at least at the first-level middle grade or above."

They also had to operate a shop related to their skill in a specific market for a year.

Xu Mo recalled the conditions for joining the Hundred Arts Alliance that Master Du, who ran a pill shop in Liuyun Market, had told him.

"By the way, Master Du's pill shop is also located nearby. I haven't had any contact with Master Du since I started this talisman shop."

"However, I need to stay here to look after this talisman shop and can't leave. I believe Master Du is also busy running his own pill shop and can't leave either."

The fact that he could join the Hundred Arts Alliance and compete for the opportunity to enter the Five Elements Sect, a position that only one person could do every five years, was something that Master Du Dan had told him before.

Although Xu Mo gave Master Du some spirit stones to get this information out of Master Du.

However, the news that he could compete for a spot in the Five Elements Sect within the Hundred Arts Alliance was extremely important to Xu Mo.

This relates to Xu Mo's future development in the cultivation world and his subsequent plans.

If it weren't for Master Du's message, Xu Mo would probably still be worrying about how to join the Five Elements Sect.

Of course, looking at the entire vast Ziyu Ridge...

Besides the Five Elements Sect, there is also a Core Formation faction.

That is the Purple Jade Sect.

However, the Purple Jade Sect has equally stringent requirements for recruiting disciples, demanding that they be promising talents with excellent spiritual roots and comprehension.

Furthermore, there are age requirements.

Even if Xu Mo's spiritual root talent and comprehension talent meet the standards, he can't even get past the age barrier.

They will be eliminated immediately.

therefore.

Xu Mo could only join the Hundred Arts Alliance and then compete for a spot in the Five Elements Sect, which was available only once every five years.

Only then can one disregard age, comprehension, talent, and spiritual root, and directly enter the Five Elements Sect by relying on the myriad arts of cultivation.

"I remember that Master Du, who ran a pill shop, told me that the condition for obtaining a spot was that one's cultivation level had to reach the peak of Qi Refining."

The level of cultivation skills must be at least at the second tier.

Thinking of this harsh condition, Xu Mo couldn't help but frown.

"It's not an easy thing to achieve these conditions."

Putting aside the skill requirements, the cultivation level alone requires reaching the pinnacle of Qi Refining, which is extremely difficult.

Although Xu Mo possesses the ability to plunder the talents of demonic beasts, he can not only plunder their talents for his own use, but also increase the purity of their corresponding spiritual roots.

To further make one's spiritual practice easier and faster.

However, judging from Xu Mo's current cultivation progress, it will take him about five years to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Not to mention cultivating to the point of perfect Qi refining.

For Xu Mo at this point, it's completely too early.

"Moreover, one's cultivation skills must reach the second level."

"I will still reach the second stage with the cultivation of perfected Qi Refining."

Under normal circumstances, to reach the second level of cultivation techniques, one's cultivation level usually needs to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Because the level of cultivation skills is closely related to one's cultivation level.

A cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining generally has a cultivation skill level of mid-grade first rank.

If one wants to raise the level of cultivation skills to the first-grade superior level with the cultivation level of the mid-stage Qi Refining stage.

Then, one would need extremely strong talent.

The same principle applies to cultivators who have reached the peak of Qi cultivation and want to achieve a second-tier skill.

Both require a certain amount of talent.

"However, if one stays at the Qi Refining Perfection stage for many years and slowly improves over a few more years, it is possible to reach the second level of cultivation skills."

"Even if one lacks a certain talent in this skill, it is still achievable."

Xu Mo came up with a solution in his mind that would allow him to reach the second-tier level of immortal cultivation techniques once he reached the peak of Qi Refining.

"Besides, I also possess the ability to plunder the talents of demonic beasts, so I might not have to endure it for so long."

He thus reached the second-tier level of immortal cultivation techniques with his Qi Refining Perfection cultivation.

The art of talisman making is easy to learn but difficult to master. However, among the four major arts of immortal cultivation, it is one that does not require much comprehension.

If you persevere for a few more years, your talisman-making skills will improve to some extent.

Unlike the formations in the various arts of cultivation, which greatly test a cultivator's comprehension.

Without exceptional comprehension and talent, one is completely unsuitable for the path of formations.

After all, formations have all sorts of complex and numerous patterns.

This pattern is also different from the patterns described in the art of talisman making and alchemy.

It is far more complex than the patterns described in the art of talisman making and alchemy.

Besides, there are many other difficulties in the art of array formations, and its difficulty in mastering them is far greater than that of talisman making.

It can be said that among alchemy, array formations, artifacts, and talismans, array formations require the highest level of comprehension and talent.

Without this exceptional talent, one might not even be able to learn the simplest and most basic formations.

Not to mention the profound and complex formations.

"Fortunately, when I entered Liuyun Market, I didn't stubbornly choose to study array formations, but instead listened to advice and studied talisman making."

At least in this respect, we haven't made any mistakes.

With this thought in mind, Xu Mo decided on his future development direction.

Since the goal is to join the Hundred Arts Alliance, and then take advantage of the Hundred Arts Alliance's five-year quota to join the Five Elements Sect.

This is how one successfully enters the Five Elements School.

Therefore, you need to meet the requirements to join the Hundred Arts Alliance first.

One of the requirements is that one's cultivation technique must reach the mid-level of the first rank.

Xu Mo has already met this requirement.

The requirement that Xu Mo has not yet met is to run a shop related to the cultivation techniques he has practiced for a year.

"Then this talisman shop must be run well and last at least a year."

Xu Mo looked up at the talisman shop.

When the Luo family, the Beast Tamer, entrusted this talisman shop to Xu Mo, Xu Mo had already thought of this.

At that time, Xu Mo had already made plans to join the Hundred Arts Alliance.

It just so happened that the Luo family, who controlled beasts, gave him this opportunity, so Xu Mo naturally took over the business.

At that time, he pretended to talk and maneuver with Luo Changfeng, a steward of the Luo family with late-stage Qi Refining cultivation.

In truth, Xu Mo was overjoyed and couldn't wait to start running this talisman shop.

This also directly saved Xu Mo the trouble of making preparations and spending spirit stones.

Many of the operating costs were directly covered by the Luo family, who also brought in Luo Lingyue, a helper who ran a talisman shop.
