Crossing into Immortal Cultivation

  Xu Ziqing secretly said, "He's here!"

  Since all of you have made it here, you are naturally among those who might enter the Ascending Dragon Peak. Yet, you were first brought to this Crouching Dragon Peak. It's definitely not just about taking a look at the 'Jade' Ruyi in each of your hands. Otherwise, with Tang Wensheng's divine insight scanning around, who could have escaped his detection?

  The rest of the cultivators also felt a bit apprehensive and said: "Please instruct us, Senior Tang."

  Tang Wenshan smiled: "Everyone doesn't have to be nervous, it's just a small test. The once-in-a-decade 'Dragon Gate' event is extremely important for the major sects in the vast world of Avici, and as the gatekeeper, I naturally cannot be careless."

  His words made everyone even more uneasy.

  Tang Wenfei didn't say much either, he just stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him, and a jade pendant about three feet high appeared in front of him, pure white and clean, without any blemishes.

  Jade disk?

  All the monks were very puzzled.

  This 'jade' treasure emits a uniform, precious light, clearly not an ordinary object. Although it is white in color, it is different from the white jade they normally use for trading. Just looking at the spiritual energy emanating from it, it's like heaven and earth apart.

  But why did Tang Wenfei take out this 'jade' pendant?

  Tang Wenhui seemed to be a straightforward person as well, and immediately said: "From now on, I will call out one person's name at a time. Please come forward and infuse your spiritual energy into the 'Jade' token until it changes color, then you can stop."

  This request seems a bit strange.

  But the Shenglongmen conference has a long history, and everyone doesn't think that Tang Wenfei will be unfavorable to them.

  Qiqi also nodded in agreement: "As Tang said."

  Xu Ziqing was also looking at the 'jade' pendant, but similarly couldn't make out anything. He thought for a moment, and seemed to have caught something faintly, only he couldn't see it clearly, which made him anxious.

  Tang Wenfei had already called out the first name, and Xu Ziqing's heart was set at ease as he looked towards that person.

  No matter what, it will be known soon anyway.

  That man was a disciple of the Purple Light Sect, named Xiang Hongcai. Xu Ziqing heard the name of this sect and couldn't help but feel a "thud" in his heart, followed by a bitter smile.

  Thinking back to the events at Shan Yan Ridge, even though those three men have already been punished, he has avenged his grievances. But after all, it was the first time he had seen human hearts so treacherous, and he couldn't help but remember...

  Taking a deep breath, Xu Ziqing dispelled these thoughts and went to see Xiang Hongcai.

  Xiang Hongcai didn't expect to be the first one either. As he walked forward, his eyes involuntarily showed a few hints of tension. However, he was also able to calm down quickly and stood up straight: "Junior Purple Light Sect Xiang Hongcai, greetings Senior Tang."

  Tang Wenfei nodded: "You may go."

  Towards Hongcai Town to calm down, walked to the front of the 'jade' bi, both hands pressed on the bi, quickly operated spiritual power, output.

  The jade pendant reacted quickly, and a small brown spot appeared at its core. Then it was like fresh blood entering the water, and in an instant, the brown color spread out, growing rapidly and covering the entire jade pendant.

  It was only then that everyone realized that there were not only brown, but also two other colors. One was sky blue and the other was pale green.

  That brown color occupies more than half of the jade pendant, with emerald green and pale blue closely attached to the brown color, but each only occupying one corner of the jade pendant. Although clear, they cannot encroach on that brown color at all.

  Xu Ziqing was taken aback.

  He seemed to understand, and this was also a test of his spiritual roots. This method is much stronger than the formation of the Xu family.

  He was originally a delicate and refined spirit root, suitable for being placed in the top-grade spiritual root category. However, due to the incompetence of the person in charge who couldn't distinguish whether he had a spirit root or not, he was crudely judged as inferior... allowing him to enter the Hundred Herb Garden.

  Now thinking back, I just feel that fate is playing tricks on people.

  Sometimes Xu Ziqing couldn't help but wonder, if his talent had been judged correctly back then, what would he be like now? Thinking of this, he let out a soft sigh.

  If I'm not mistaken, he must have failed to obtain the opportunity at the bottom of the lake. Now, he's just a talented Xu family member who is well taken care of, or perhaps he was destroyed along with the Xu family, or maybe the Xu family hid him in order to leave a way out and took this opportunity to send him to Tenglong Peak...

  As I thought about it, my mind wandered again.

  Xu Ziqing hurriedly pressed down, not allowing it to disturb himself. Immediately afterwards, he smiled bitterly, and Yun brother's words were correct. Indeed, on this path of cultivating immortality, there were demons everywhere, but as long as there was a slight gap, it would evoke many unpleasant emotions in him, affecting his Dao heart.

  Fortunately, the demon in his heart had passed, and when Xu Ziqing looked at the radiant stone wall again, he no longer felt the emotions of just now.

  Tang Wenshan nodded slightly and said: "Next one, Ziguangzong Luo Fuzhou."

  Still, it was a man from the "Men" sect who came, with an appearance of over 20 years old. He also asked for courtesy first and then input spiritual power into the "Jade" disc. At this time, more than half of the golden light appeared in the "Jade" disc, with a small amount of blue and brown color, obviously it was also a coarse and fine three-spirit root.

  Then comes third place, fourth place...

  Most of the major sects are roughly the same, with most having a coarse and fine triple spiritual root, some having a double coarse dual spiritual root, and also having a coarse and fine dual spiritual root... However, it is still not among those who have not yet appeared in this age group, these geniuses with one coarse and one fine dual spiritual roots are all over 25 years old.

  Finally arrived at the Loose Cultivators' Alliance.

  The first is Shao Meng's master, Xu Yin.

  Xu Xian strode past with a flourish, his face radiant with an air of triumph. He had already adjusted his mood and no longer felt any unease in his heart.

  His whole body was filled with a strong fiery aura, which was because he had just refined his spiritual root and hadn't fully gotten used to it yet. Xu Ziqing keenly sensed that the Tang Wenhui on top had also subtly changed his expression when he saw Su Xuan.

  Su Xuan bowed his fist: "Tang senior, I'm going too."

  Tang Wenfei seemed to have guessed something and his attitude was still quite good: "You can go."

  Su Xuan smiled brightly and walked quickly to the front of the 'Jade' Tablet. Now all cultivators knew what this 'Jade' Tablet was used for, and he was no exception.

  The young man's 'nature' was most spirited and vigorous. He didn't hesitate to suddenly pour all his spiritual energy into - "Brush!"

  The entire piece of 'jade' suddenly turned into a bright red, as if a fire had been ignited from the core, making it instantly radiant and breathtakingly beautiful!

  Upon seeing this wondrous sight, many of the monks present couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  "Single Flame Spirit Root!"

  "No, I know this person. He's the Young Master of the Scattered Cultivators' Alliance. Although he has a good innate talent, it's just a coarse and fine double spiritual root, how could it be a single spiritual root?"

  "Isn't it difficult to disperse and repair the alliance, hiding this matter from us all?"

  "No, this can't be..."

  Xu Ziqing heard a familiar voice, slightly tilted his head, and saw that it was actually Xu Zifeng and Xu Ziping, siblings.

  His heart skipped a beat, and then he calmed down immediately.

  Yes, Xú Zǐtáng's current cultivation is still at the sixth layer of Qi Refining. It must be the chaos in the Tián family that has prevented her from cultivating peacefully. However, she is not yet twenty-five years old and thus has the qualifications to participate. As for Xú Zǐfēng, he had already established his foundation and naturally came to escort his younger sister. And they were able to come here with relatively calm expressions, likely because the Xú family's vitality has gradually recovered...

  Xu Ziqing's attention returned to Su Xun once again.

  Indeed, he had seen the Red Flame Fruit in the "Spirit Grass Illustrated Manual", which clearly stated that it could only be used by those who had not yet cultivated their Qi to refine their spiritual roots. But Su Xuan had used it and actually refined... There must be some other reason for this.

  He didn't ask before because it wasn't necessary, but for Xu Ziting, Chi Yan Guo was from their Xu family after all, and she must have been very curious about the reason.

  Su Xun said calmly, "I was originally a dual spirit root of earth and fire. Later, I coincidentally obtained the Chi Yan fruit, which allowed me to purify my spirit root."

  Someone raised a doubt similar to Xu Ziting's: "The Red Flame Fruit must be consumed before the Qi Refining stage, how can you...?"

  Su Xun raised an eyebrow and smiled: "If it's just swallowed like this, then of course it would be so. But if it's refined into a Dan medicine, it's not the case. In my alliance, there is an elder who has high-level skills in refining Dan medicines, and after spending a lot of spiritual herbs and medicines, he finally refined the Chi Yan fruit. After I took this Dan medicine, I achieved the Single Fire Spirit Root."

  Everyone heard this and finally understood. However, when those sons of heaven looked at Su Xuan again, their expressions were filled with a mix of admiration and envy.

  Xu Ziqing couldn't help but secretly admire him.

  Indeed, the Lingcao grass and other medicinal materials refined into a pill are much better than swallowing them whole. Not only have the impurities been removed, but there is also an effect of purifying the medicinal properties. However, the person who can refine the Chi Yan Guo, that divine object, must have extremely high skills... Xu Ziqing noticed that when Tang Wenfei heard "refined into a pill", his eyes flickered slightly, and thought to himself: That alchemist is probably not inferior to anyone in the great world!

  In the small world, alchemists are rare, and even if there are any, they often have poor skills. It's no wonder that a loose cultivators' alliance with such skilled alchemists can stand for many years without falling, becoming a shelter for many loose cultivators.

  Everyone couldn't help but exchange some subtle conversations until Tang Wenfei spoke again, and then they quieted down.

  Tang Wenzhong said: "Xiao You's talent is extraordinary, please take a seat."

  When this guardian from the vast world also treated Su Xun with such courtesy, Su Xun once again became the focus of attention. They thought that if they could get the guardian's favor and stay in Tenglong Peak to build their foundation, their status would be vastly different afterwards. Moreover, with such qualifications, even if they failed to build their foundation, people in the vast world would not easily let him go... For a moment, everyone's expressions changed.

  This kid is really too lucky!

  Su Xun didn't care how others looked at him. Since he had come to this place and had the capital, why not show off more and gain benefits for himself? Thinking of this, his heart felt at ease, and he didn't hold back either. He strode forward again, his red clothes fluttering like a blazing fire that was both scorching and captivating.

  And then the words returned to their proper meaning

  Tang Wenfei then called out the names of Zhuo Han, Yan and five others in sequence, until finally, it was Xu Ziqing, who was nominally a loose cultivator outside the alliance.

  As Xu Zi Qing stood up, others might have thought otherwise but didn't say anything. However, among the seven people in the Loose Cultivation Alliance, everyone's gaze was fixed on him.

  To them, they all thought that the green-shirted youth was very mysterious. Especially Su Xuan and Xu Ziqing had been 'acquainted' for some time, but still couldn't grasp this person's bottom line, and were even more curious. So at this moment, their eyes stared unblinkingly at him, watching as he quietly stood up and walked all the way to the front.

  Xu Ziqing said in a warm voice: "Scattered repair alliance Xu Ziqing, has seen Tang senior."

  "Alright, let's go."

  Xu Ziqing stood in front of the 'jade' disc, smiled slightly, and put both hands on it.
