Winter House, Room Seven.
Undeniably, the strength of Class II Spiritual Lineage was noticeably stronger than that of Class 1.
Approximately half a Shichen into his cultivation, Wang Ba quickly refined a droplet of mana.
However, before he could rejoice, he felt a sense of speechlessness when he sensed his Dantian.
The meagre mana he had refined was miniscule in the vast expanse of his Dantian.
“It seems that the journey to reaching the bottleneck of the early-stage Foundation Establishment is a long way off.”
He couldn’t help but shake his head reluctantly.
Afterwards, he took out the Spirit Chicken Essence and Spirit Turtle Essence once more.
He swallowed nearly twenty spoonfuls in one go and refined the Spiritual Energy, meditating on the Yin God in the process.
Finally, a droplet of the Power of the Yin God slowly manifested within the Spirit Temple, gradually growing larger.
One droplet, two droplets….
After Wang Ba had metabolized the essences of the Spirit Chicken and Spirit Turtle, four droplets of the Power of the Yin God had accumulated in the temple.
“Just four droplets… How long will it take to fill the entire temple?”
Wang Ba couldn’t resist shaking his head.
Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he hurriedly pulled something out of his Storage Bag.
A colorless glob of water.
It was the Divine Dew, the soul treasure which he had obtained from the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator.
This item was a crucial resource for cultivators refining their soul and exerted a significant effect in strengthening the soul. Hence, it was of immense value.
Wang Ba had just fifteen pieces in total.
Having used one previously, and given two to Shen Fu, he was left with twelve pieces.
After some thought, Wang Ba put two pieces away, planning to give them to Bu Chan.
Then, he held the Divine Dew and began his cultivation.
To his surprise, with his meditation, the Divine Dew quickly disappeared into his palm, and even led to the formation of twelve droplets of the Power of the Yin God in the Spirit Temple!
Without any hesitation, he immediately refined all the remaining Divine Dew.
In the corner of the Spirit Temple, a puddle of pale red water composed of the Power of the Yin God finally appeared.
As the Power of the Yin God was replenished, he faintly felt his soul growing much stronger. Simultaneously, the range his Spiritual Sense could reach also expanded significantly.
“Divine Dew, this is indeed a great item.”
Wang Ba, sensing the world through his increasingly clear Spiritual Sense, couldn’t help but exclaim.
It was a pity that he had only seen the Divine Dew on the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator and never encountered it in the market.
Otherwise, Wang Ba would have wanted to purchase a batch to specifically cultivate with it.
As for obtaining Divine Dew by killing Incense-burning Dao Cultivators outside of the sect.
He didn’t even dare to think about it for now.
After continuously cultivating for several days.
Subsequently, he visited the chicken farm again to harvest the Lifespan from a batch of Spirit Chickens and Spirit Turtles.
As expected, the Lifespan a lower grade Class 1 Spirit Chicken could provide him had decreased from 5-6 years to less than a year.
As the lower grade Class I Spirit Turtle had a longer life expectancy, it could provide slightly more than a year.
In this way, he harvested around 1500 years of Lifespan successfully.
Upon returning to Room Seven of Winter House, he immediately used up the Lifespan.
[Current Lifespan: -759.1 years]
The powerful Second-layer exclusive spell “Dream Creation” from the “Book of Yin God’s Grand Dream” was completed!
At this instant, an intricate operation map for ‘Dream Creation’ emerged within his soul, moving in an awkward trajectory.
Shortly after, this trajectory quickly became proficient until it was completely engraved into Wang Ba’s soul.
Wang Ba slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh.
In his eyes, there was a glimpse of fatigue.
Mastering such a profound spell in such a short time, even with the aid of Lifespan consumption, was still an unprecedentedly massive drain on his mental strength.
After resting a while, he resumed mana refining.
Only when he felt fatigue creeping in again did he finally stop.
He got up and pushed open the door.
Li Qi was a servant.
At the age of eighteen, he joined the renowned East Saint Sect nearby and became one of the servants.
He once dreamed of obtaining a Spiritual Root through the cultivation of the Strong Body Sutra and embarking on the path of immortality.
However, after enduring three strenuous years, he realized that he was not cut out for it and wisely chose to give up.
He instead planned to make money in the sect for a few years before retiring and enjoying life.
However, he hadn’t expected such drastic changes to occur so suddenly.
The East Saint Sect ceased to exist overnight.
In its place was a malevolent sect that proclaimed itself as the Tianmen Cult.
Seeing the once-highly revered immortals lying on the freezing ground like dead dogs, Li Qi’s heart sank to new depths.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because they saw him as a mere mortal, the fearsome followers of the Tianmen Cult didn’t kill him, but gave him a job instead.
Despite his fear, he did not hesitate to accept due to his survival instincts.
Why would he resist? The immortals hadn’t given him any benefits. He didn’t owe them anything.
This went on for more than ten years.
Li Qi transformed from a robust young man into a depressed middle-aged man.
Every day, he stayed in Linggu House, ceaselessly sweeping the spotless corridors.
He wasn’t sure what the point of this was.
But the immortal who watched over the place said it was to assure the people living here that their Spirit Stone was spent on good value. He didn’t quite understand.
Nonetheless, he just continued sweeping.
He supposed that by the time he was no longer able to sweep, it would be his time to close his eyes for good.
At least these cultivators hadn’t turned him into a puppet.
With these thoughts in mind, he went from Spring House to Summer House, from Summer House to Autumn House, and finally to Winter House.
Almost all the doors were tightly shut, with hardly any sign of human activity.
Li Qi had become accustomed to this.
These immortals rarely showed themselves. Even if they lived here, they could easily stay indoors for half a month.
However, not long after he began cleaning, he heard the sound of a door opening from Room Three.
Although he didn’t see anyone, he instinctively lowered his head and respectfully bowed towards the direction of Room Three.
This was required by the immortal overseeing the place, and Li Qi had no trouble complying.
However, perhaps because he was getting on with age, frequent bowing was starting to take a toll on his waist.
No immortal from the third chamber spoke either.
Li Qi was not surprised, most immortals didn’t really care about the likes of mortals like him.
After calculating the time, he carefully lifted his head.
When he saw that the immortal of the third chamber had already left, he finally stood up and rubbed his lower back.
“All…”
At that moment…
He detected a sound.
He immediately noticed that the door to the seventh chamber was moving.
Ignoring the agony in his back, he quickly bent over again.
Experiencing the piercing pain in his lower back, he thought to himself:
“What hard times I am going through!”
Again, there was no sound.
Estimating the time again, Li Qi carefully raised his head.
He was shocked to find that the door of the seventh chamber was open, and standing there was an immortal who looked around thirty, with a very ordinary appearance.
And he was not only not leaving, but he was also looking straight at him!
His eyes seemed to sparkle with a hint of crimson red.
“Forgive me, Immortal!”
All of a sudden, Li Qi’s soul was on the verge of fleeing his body!
He had completely forgotten about his backache, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
As a servant, he was not allowed to look directly at immortals, and those who violated this rule would be executed instantly by the guard immortals!
This was an iron law here!
What Li Qi didn’t notice was that a hint of crimson red had briefly sparkled in his eyes as well.
All he cared about was his kowtowing.
But then he heard a calm voice:
“No need for such formalities.”
Li Qi felt as though his body was no longer under his control and he could not continue to kowtow.
Even standing up was a struggle.
He could feel the invisible force around his body receding.
An immense fear surged in his heart.
But amidst this fear…
For some reason, a very intense thought bubbled up in his heart.
“If only… I could be like this immortal, it would be wonderful!”
“If only… I could cultivate, it would be wonderful!”
This thought was so overwhelming that it almost felt as if it wasn’t his own.
Although his instincts told him something was wrong, that thought quickly turned into an impulse that almost set his sanity ablaze, and he bowed down fervently:
“Immortal, I would like to be your disciple and serve you for my whole life!”
Li Qi was lying on the ground, consumed by the fervent madness of acting on that thought.
The bit of fear and trepidation he initially had was now buried deep within.
After a long while, he finally heard the voice of the immortal, which sounded like a heavenly rain:
“What is your name?”
At this moment, Li Qi’s heart was filled with great joy!
The immortal, had he… had he agreed?!
“Your humble servant is Li Qi!”
Li Qi answered immediately and respectfully.
“Then let’s go.”
The immortal said slowly.
With that, Li Qi felt his body being taken over again by the invisible force, and he was lifted off the ground!
Li Qi was both shocked and excited.
Soon, he saw Elder Jiang who guarded the place. The man on seeing Li Qi seemed to be shocked as well.
He couldn’t seem to comprehend how Li Qi could have been chosen by the immortal.
To add to that, Jiang, who always seemed mysterious and profound in his eyes, actually bowed his head in respect to this immortal who had emerged from the seventh chamber!
“Could this immortal be a very important person?”
Li Qi immediately thought to himself.
His heart surged with excitement!
Being able to be a disciple of such an important person, no, even being by his side, he could imagine the bright future that lay ahead!
Soon, he heard Elder Jiang respectfully saying, “It is his luck that Elder Wang took a fancy to this servant. You can take him without any reluctance, I will handle the rest.”
“Thank you then.”
The immortal’s voice rang out.
Elder Wang? Is this immortal’s surname Wang?
Li Qi, who had been listening intently, immediately stored this information in his mind.
Soon, he followed Immortal Wang and saw a flying boat the size of a palm fly out of the immortal’s sleeve. It rapidly grew in size and soon turned into a light boat.
“Let’s go.”
Immortal Wang said in a low voice.
Li Qi was immediately swept onto the light boat.
It was his first time flying into the sky, and he couldn’t resist looking down, which made him tremble with fear!
At this moment, he felt somewhat confused in his heart.
He wondered how he had had such courage to directly ask an immortal to take him as a disciple.
However, this doubt was fleeting, his heart was quickly filled again with the joy of becoming a disciple of an immortal.
Subsequently, he followed Immortal Wang to the Immortal Ashram next to the South Lake and was surprised to find that in addition to the Precious Chicken he was familiar with, there were many spirit beasts!
There was even a turtle as big as a carriage!
A divine chicken of unparalleled beauty!
A meditating ape!
This made him more convinced that he had made the best decision of his life.
Afterward, he was led out of the training area by Immortal Wang.
With a wave of Immortal Wang’s hand, trees fell down and another expressionless immortal erected a wooden house.
“You will live here.”
Immortal Wang said to Li Qi.
For reasons unimown, he seemed to detect a light flash of crimson in the immortal’s eyes again.
What he also didn’t know…
At that moment, a similar flicker of crimson red passed through his own eyes..
