Chapter 513: Yunhai Mountain Range, Wanxiang Sect
After Li Yi completed the practice of "Demon Illusion", he did not hide his true appearance, but revealed his original appearance. Because he had taken Dingyan Pill, Li Yi's current appearance was like a naive young man in his twenties, with dark skin, like an ordinary farm boy. If he had not revealed that he was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, no one would have dared to be sure that he was actually a cultivator, but more like a farmer.
Li Yi had been wandering in the surrounding market for several months, looking for a suitable place for retreat and cultivation. Condensing the Nascent Soul requires a lot of spiritual energy, because it takes a moment to condense the Nascent Soul to absorb a lot of spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy is thin, it is likely to cause condensation to fail. However, whether it is Dongzhou or the East Sea Xiuxian Realm, places with large spiritual veins have long been occupied by people and will not be left for him at all.
Finally, Li Yi chose the Yunhai Mountain Range. This place is not far from where Li Yi is currently. It is located between the Dongzhou Xiuxian Realm and the Donghai Xiuxian Realm. This is a peninsula that spans more than 10,000 miles from east to west and more than 1,000 miles from north to south. About 3,000 miles are located in the Dongzhou mainland, and more than 6,000 miles spread to the East China Sea.
The highest point of the mountain is 10,000 feet high, towering into the clouds. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and deep into the sea, so it is called the Yunhai Mountain Range. It contains a large spiritual vein with extremely rich spiritual energy, which is the best place for cultivation.
It is rumored that in the depths of the mountains, there is also a tea tree of enlightenment, one of the ten spiritual trees. It is a kind of spiritual tea that can help cultivators comprehend the immortal way and break through the bottleneck. As long as you drink a small cup, you can have a certain understanding of your own cultivation method and the future path of cultivation.
Especially for cultivators to break through bottlenecks, it can be said to have a magical effect. There was once a foundation-building cultivator who broke through the bottleneck with a cup of spiritual tea and entered the golden elixir stage. In the cultivation world, it has been widely circulated, making all the cultivators very eager to drink one or two cups.
Li Yi did not believe in the rumors at all. Maybe someone used this kind of spiritual tea to break through the bottleneck, but it was definitely not just relying on the enlightenment tea tree. If this was really the case, the golden elixir cultivators on the Yunhai Mountains would have run all over the ground, and it would definitely cause a lot of cultivators to fight for it.
However, the enlightenment tea tree, which can be called one of the top ten spiritual trees, must have many magical uses. This is also one of the reasons why Li Yi chose this place. He has a small bronze tripod in his hand, which has the miraculous effect of ripening spiritual wood. If he can get the enlightenment tea tree, one of the top ten spiritual trees, it will be even more perfect. If he can drink a small cup of enlightenment spiritual tea every time he practices, Li Yi believes that his practice will be faster.
In addition, there are four major sects on the Yunhai Mountains, namely Xuanjianmen, Wanxiangzong, Wanghailou, and Lingmiao Pavilion, which occupy the entire Yunhai Mountains. These four major sects are also the final winning forces among countless forces of all sizes. They have occupied the Yunhai Mountains for more than a thousand years. As long as there is a fight, the four major sects will join hands to resist the attack of foreign cultivators.
Among them, Xuanjianmen is a sword cultivation sect. There is a "Xuanling Sword Art", which is extremely sharp. The number of cultivators in this sect is small, but the strength is extremely strong. The entry is also very strict. They will not accept disciples who are not of superior qualifications, and they will also investigate the identity of the visitors very carefully.
Wanghailou is a sect formed by several large cultivation families. Most of the disciples recruited by this sect are disciples of some immortal cultivation families in the East China Sea cultivation world.
As for Lingmiao Pavilion, it is a sect headed by female cultivators. The sect is basically dominated by women. Of course, there are also some male cultivators, who are also disciples of these female cultivators. They rarely recruit male disciples from outside.
Li Yi wanted to sneak into the Yunhai Mountains to practice, and finally only Wanxiang Sect was left. This sect is a very special existence. It was founded by a casual cultivator named Wanxiang Patriarch. Therefore, most of the disciples recruited in the sect are casual cultivators, which is also very friendly to casual cultivators.
Because of this, Wanxiang Sect recruits the most disciples among the four major sects, but its strength is indeed the worst. The highest cultivation in the sect is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul, with a total of four people. The other three major sects all have cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and Xuanjian Sect and Wanghai Tower both have two cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and there are also several cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. The strength of Lingmiao Pavilion is a little worse, but there is also a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and four cultivators in the early stage of the Yuan.
In addition to being weaker in strength, entering the Wanxiang Sect, not only can you not get spirit stones, but you also have to participate in the sect's assessment, and you need to hand in a sum of spirit stones. If you are not selected, the spirit stones will not be returned.
Moreover, even after joining the sect, in addition to completing some tasks of the sect every year, you still need to hand in a certain amount of spirit stones, and there are no rewards or spirit stones.
The only benefit of being in the sect is that there will be sermons by high-level cultivators every month, but this also requires spirit stones. In addition, you can buy cultivation classics that cannot be purchased outside, and the sect can also guarantee the safety of your cultivation, and you will not be robbed for no reason.
Such a strange sect rule is unique in the world of immortal cultivation. It is said that these rules were set by the ancestors of the Wanxiang Sect, and outsiders cannot change them. The purpose is to make the cultivators understand the hardships of cultivation and not to live a life of idleness in the sect.
Therefore, the cultivators who join the sect will choose to learn a skill to earn spiritual stones, such as alchemy, refining, drawing talismans, taming spiritual beasts, arranging formations, etc. Although the cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect are relatively poor in strength and cultivation, their means of making a living are very powerful. Among the four major sects, the cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect are more generous and often have higher worth.
It is also because of the distraction of alchemy and weapon refining that the cultivation speed of these cultivators who were not very good in the first place has become even slower. Except for the founder of the sect, who reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul, the cultivators who followed were worse than the previous generation. Now, there is not even a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which makes the high-level members of the sect very anxious, but the cultivators below do not feel anything. Instead, they think that this is very good, much better than being a casual cultivator.
It is also because of these reasons that some arrogant and qualified cultivators, as well as some disciples from big families with better qualifications, are not willing to join the Wanxiang Sect at all. Even the disciples of the other three major sects are not very willing to associate with the cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect, thinking that they are just some casual cultivators who are not in the mainstream and have no ambition to make progress.
Of course, the cultivators of the Wanxiang Sect are also very ambitious. Since you are unwilling to associate with me, I don’t care. I live my life behind closed doors and rarely go out.
Although the cultivation of the people in Wanxiang Sect is not high, Wanxiang Sect is indeed the richest sect among the four major sects. On the contrary, the other three major sects often have to buy some magic tools, magic treasures, talismans, and some elixirs from the people of Wanxiang Sect.
Li Yi walked on the mountain road leading to Wanxiang Sect. In his mind, he recalled everything about Wanxiang Sect. Suddenly, he felt that Wanxiang Sect was quite interesting.
However, Li Yi did not reveal his true cultivation. Instead, he restrained his breath and only showed his cultivation in the Qi Refining Stage. In this way, it would be easier to enter the sect.
If you are in the Jindan Stage, it may be quite troublesome to worship this Wanxiang Sect. You will definitely be checked upside down. It is better to sneak in quietly. In case of trouble, the cultivator with the highest cultivation on the other side is only in the early stage of Yuanying. Li Yi can also deal with it. After thinking for a long time, Li Yi decided to participate in the entry test of Wanxiang Sect as a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage.
"Fellow Daoist in front, please wait a moment. Are you also going to take part in the entrance examination of Wanxiang Sect? We can go together! And you can take care of each other on the way." Li Yi's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a crisp voice.
