Chapter 470 - 259: A Celestial Pride Visits, Plundering Opportunities
"The Earth Dragon turns over, and opportunities will manifest."
The Zi Xi Saintess suddenly spoke, her clear voice echoing within the main hall of the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Hearing this, the crowd quieted down, pondering the meaning of her words.
"The Earth Dragon turns over" naturally referred to the recent earthquake.
As for "opportunities will manifest"... Could it be that some special opportunities were about to descend upon the Southern Domain Land?
Gu Qinghong asked, "Saintess, what does this mean?"
"I do not know either."
The Zi Xi Saintess shook her head gently.
"Within the Purple Mist Sect, there is a Tier Four Grandmaster of Divination. Not long ago, he predicted a great change between heaven and earth. After this change, cultivation opportunities will become more abundant than ever before."
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts filled with joy.
’More opportunities than before?’
’Doesn’t this mean their chances of encountering an opportunity are much greater?’
Li Chang’an was also delighted.
’If that Divination Grandmaster’s prediction is correct, my chances of stumbling upon overlooked treasures will be much higher. I might even find opportunities related to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul realms.’
He possessed his own daily divination, so he naturally hoped the Divination Grandmaster was right.
Of course, it wouldn’t matter much if he was wrong.
He had already obtained enough opportunities and couldn’t be too greedy.
Next, the Zi Xi Saintess explained the reason for gathering everyone.
The primary reason, of course, was to address the recent celestial disturbance and placate the various powers.
"You may all rest assured, there will be no major changes to the Cultivation Immortality Realm."
Other than a potential increase in opportunities, nothing else would change.
Furthermore, she addressed the matter of the Ancient Sect Ruins.
Although the Purple Mist Sect had occupied the ruins, cultivators from other Sects and Noble Families could still go and explore. Even Loose Cultivators were free to come and go.
Hearing this, the crowd was once again overjoyed.
They had all originally thought that the opportunities within the Sect ruins were now beyond their reach.
They hadn’t expected that the Purple Mist Sect, despite seeming domineering, was actually quite reasonable.
’It makes sense, though. The Purple Mist Sect is one of the Righteous Sects, after all, not a Demon Sect with a terrible reputation.’
However, the Purple Mist Sect did have a condition.
If anyone discovered an extremely precious or hard-to-identify Treasure in the ruins, they should offer to sell it to the Purple Mist Sect first.
After speaking, the Zi Xi Saintess’s calm gaze swept over the crowd.
"Do any of you have objections?"
"We have no objections! We thank the Upper Sect!"
Everyone cupped their hands and expressed their thanks.
With that, the matter of the Ancient Sect Ruins was settled.
From now on, no power needed to fight over it; they could simply explore it at their own pace.
The rule set by the Purple Mist Sect was not mandatory.
If people didn’t want to sell their Treasures, they didn’t have to.
Next, the Zi Xi Saintess spoke of other matters.
For instance, the major Sects and Noble Families could send their outstanding disciples to the Purple Mist Sect.
The crowd wasn’t particularly interested in this, since once a disciple joined the Sect, they belonged to that Sect.
About an hour later.
The meeting came to an end.
"Alright, you are all dismissed."
"Yes!"
Everyone present let out a collective sigh of relief.
They had all thought the Purple Mist Sect had gathered them to force some sort of demand upon them.
It seemed now that the purpose was simply to quell the conflict and establish some rules.
Li Chang’an left the main hall, and it wasn’t long before he saw Su Yuyan.
Su Yuyan only possessed a Middle Grade Gold Spirit Root. She was considered a genius during the Qi Refining stage, but in the Foundation Establishment Stage, she was merely average. After all, nearly every cultivator who reached Foundation Establishment had at least a Middle Spirit Root or better talent.
She practiced the New Technique and had reached Foundation Establishment earlier than Li Chang’an. She had also inherited a large amount of cultivation resources left to her by Chen Huilan, yet her cultivation was now only at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer.
According to the realm system of the Old Technique, she was still in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.
"Brother Li, my talent is no longer enough."
Su Yuyan, dressed in a pale yellow long dress, still had lively eyes, but her small face was full of frustration.
Li Chang’an smiled. "Yuyan, you’re not even a hundred years old and you’re already at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer. Your cultivation speed is already extremely fast. There’s still hope for you to reach Core Formation in the future."
"Brother Li, I cultivated quickly before because I had the resources my master left me and didn’t have to worry about them."
Su Yuyan was worried; her resources had been depleted.
From now on, she would have to slowly earn resources by doing Sect missions.
At her current pace, she had no idea how many years it would take to reach the Foundation Establishment Peak.
Even if she reached the Foundation Establishment Peak, she would still have to worry about the resources for Core Formation. Her hopes of forming a Core in this lifetime were slim.
For this reason, she had already taken on an apprentice, intending for the apprentice to continue her path of Cultivation Immortality.
"Brother Li, this is Qingxue. Her Spiritual Root is close to Top Grade, and her cultivation talent is excellent."
Su Yuyan called over a tall, graceful young woman.
The young woman’s name was Su Qingxue. Her skin was fairer than snow, and her disposition was somewhat similar to Su Yuyan’s. She was also wearing a pale yellow long dress.
Li Chang’an secretly used the Spirit Testing Technique to take a look.
Inside her body were thirty-eight strands of Spirit Charm, only three strands short of a Top Grade Spirit Root.
’Her talent really is excellent!’
Li Chang’an gave her a few pointers and presented her with a Protective Treasure.
"Thank you, Elder Li!"
Su Qingxue’s eyes curved into crescents, her pretty face full of delight.
A moment later, Li Chang’an transformed into a streak of Spiritual Light and departed, returning to Changqing Mountain.
Su Qingxue watched him disappear into the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Su Yuyan, "Master, since you have feelings for Elder Li, why haven’t you told him?"
Hearing this, Su Yuyan sighed softly.
"Brother Li is single-mindedly devoted to the Immortal Dao. He has never cared for matters of romantic love."
"But Elder Li only has a Low Grade Spirit Root. Perhaps the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment is the end of his cultivation path. No matter how hard he tries, he might not be able to advance any further. Sooner or later, he’ll have to consider such things. Master, you have to seize the opportunity."
A trace of worry appeared on Su Qingxue’s little face.
"Don’t let that person from the Zheng Family beat you to it."
