Inside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.
Ye Qingxuan’s main consciousness had already returned to his true body.
Before long, Ye Qingxuan’s explorer clone also returned to the Qingxuan Blessed Land.
The Mysterious Mall had a teleportation array leading to Xuanmu City, and once there, one could directly return to the Earthly Mystery Realm, so the explorer clone didn’t spend much time.
Concealing spatial passages came at no small cost.
Within the Xuanmu Realm, since Xuanmu City had been successfully established, the spatial passages leading to the Xuanmu Realm were no longer all concealed.
The entrance and exit of the spatial passage connecting to the Earthly Mystery Realm was located in Xuanmu City’s teleportation plaza.
Cultivators traveling back and forth between the Earthly Mystery Realm and the Xuanmu Realm basically all passed through Xuanmu City’s spatial passage.
As for the array discs used to open temporary spatial passages to the Xuanmu Realm, they could be purchased with spirit stones, but unlike those for going to the Demon Realm, they were not free of charge.
This time, when the explorer clone returned to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, since the mysterious merchant clone was not in the Earthly Mystery Realm.
The explorer clone could not return through the realm gate carried by the mysterious merchant.
So this time, when the explorer clone returned to the Qingxuan Blessed Land, it deliberately found a remote cave to make its return.
The realm gate opened in the cave had not been canceled and was still floating within the cave.
Although this added a trace of risk, with the mysterious merchant clone not in the Earthly Mystery Realm, this was the only convenient way for the explorer clone to travel back and forth.
Moreover, Ye Qingxuan could remotely will the realm gate to collapse with a single thought, so the actual risk was still controllable.
After his explorer clone brought the storage pouch back, Ye Qingxuan did not rush to offer sacrifices to improve his cultivation.
The higher one’s realm, the more enormous the energy needed to improve one’s cultivation.
Even with the infusion of origin power, Ye Qingxuan still needed quite a bit of time to absorb it before he could fully convert the origin power into his own cultivation.
He planned to first exchange for the corpse of the perfected Nascent Soul stage Qingmo clansman in Dao Changchun’s hands, and then offer sacrifices together to improve his cultivation.
He took out his disciple token and sent a message to Zhu Dafu:
“Zhu Dafu, purchase a portion of gold spirit stones for me.”
Inside the Tianfu Shop.
Zhu Dafu, who was lying on a lounge chair on the third floor, looked at the message on his token and felt somewhat curious:
“Ye Qingxuan is just a blessed cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage. I wonder what he’s using these sixth-rank materials for?”
Shaking his head slightly, Zhu Dafu stood up, stretched, and walked outside.
Over these years, Zhu Dafu had started a family, and not long ago, he had even had a chubby little boy.
Within the Xuantian Sect.
Regarding the offspring of sect disciples.
The offspring of core disciples and those above could choose to be raised in the caves they had opened, and when they turned twelve, they would participate in the sect assessment.
If they passed, they could join the Xuantian Sect.
If they failed, they could only be sent outside the Xuantian Sect.
However, generally, core disciples with offspring mostly would not raise them in their own caves.
The caves were too small, and there were no peers to accompany them.
Growing up trapped in a cave would only cause their offspring to develop poor psychological traits and affect their future growth.
Therefore, if core disciples and those above in the Xuantian Sect had offspring, they generally chose to raise them outside the sect.
As for sect disciples below core disciples, their offspring could only be raised outside the sect, with no right to choose.
After all, the Xuantian Sect was a place for cultivation. Not forbidding low-ranking disciples from having offspring was already quite good.
How could they possibly raise children for these disciples?
In reality, among the higher-ups of the Xuantian Sect, not many had offspring.
Cultivators devoted to the immortal path would focus single-mindedly on cultivation when their realm was too low, racing against time.
Once their cultivation improved, having offspring became too difficult.
So most high-ranking cultivators of the Xuantian Sect had no offspring, nor any thought of having them.
Zhu Dafu’s newborn child was now being raised in the Zhu family.
Zhu Dafu’s dao companion was also a disciple of the Xuantian Sect. She had recently taken an outstation sect mission not far from the Zhu family and had left the sect to look after their child.
Disciples of the Xuantian Sect were not kept by the sect for nothing. Even cultivators who slacked off had to complete a sect mission at regular intervals.
Moreover, this mandatory first mission within each cycle generally did not grant many contribution points.
Cultivators of different realms needed to complete different mission ranks and mission cycles.
Zhu Dafu, now at the Golden Core stage, needed to complete a fourth-rank sect mission every thirty years.
However, Zhu Dafu mostly took on resource-gathering missions.
Backed by the Tianfu Shop, he did not need to complete the missions personally. As long as he could submit the mission items, the Xuantian Sect did not care whether the disciples had completed them personally.
This was also one of the ways many cultivators working in shops in the Xuantian Sect’s market completed their missions.
After Zhu Dafu purchased the gold spirit stones, he sent Ye Qingxuan a message.
Ye Qingxuan then instructed Ye Zhaoheng to go to the Tianfu Shop and bring back the gold spirit stones.
Over these years, because they had broken through to the Golden Core stage not long ago, the two brothers Ye Zhaoheng and Ye Zhaoyu were still at the early Golden Core stage.
However, the four cultivation arts they had each chosen had all been raised to the fourth rank with the help of fifth-rank calming tea.
Ever since breaking through to the Golden Core stage, their speed traveling between the Tianfu Shop and the Qingxuan Blessed Land had also greatly increased.
Without waiting too long, after Ye Zhaoheng retrieved the gold spirit stones.
Ye Qingxuan had his explorer clone bring the gold spirit stones back to the Mysterious Mall in the Xuanmu Realm, waiting to trade with Dao Changchun.
Three days later.
Inside the Shangxuan Pavilion of the Mysterious Mall.
Ye Qingxuan handed a storage pouch to Dao Changchun:
“This is the gold spirit stone you wanted, along with 1,500 top-grade spirit stones.”
Hearing this, Dao Changchun suppressed his inner excitement and took the storage pouch with a blank expression.
After inspecting it and confirming it was indeed a gold spirit stone, a hint of pleasant surprise appeared in Dao Changchun’s eyes.
“It really is a gold spirit stone.”
Then he took out Xie Wu’s corpse and handed it to Ye Qingxuan:
“Here, we’re even now.”
With that, Dao Changchun could hardly wait to leave.
Watching Dao Changchun’s departing figure, Ye Qingxuan fell into thought.
After the transaction was completed, his main consciousness returned to his true body.
Meanwhile, Ye Qingxuan’s explorer clone took Xie Wu’s corpse and began rushing back to the Qingxuan Blessed Land without stopping.
After the explorer clone brought Xie Wu’s corpse back, Ye Qingxuan no longer delayed.
With a smile on his face, he came before the small sacrificial array in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.
Ye Qingxuan took out all the Qingmo clan corpses, totaling:
2 corpses of perfected Nascent Soul stage Qingmo clansmen, 4 corpses of mid Nascent Soul stage Qingmo clansmen, and 18 corpses of early Nascent Soul stage Qingmo clansmen.
His true body was currently at the early Nascent Soul stage. To advance to the mid Nascent Soul stage, offering 10 complete early Nascent Soul stage Qingmo clan corpses would be enough.
The remaining Qingmo clan corpses, after being offered, should be enough for him to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan could not help but show a trace of excitement in his eyes.
After placing all the Qingmo clan corpses into the small sacrificial array and offering them, a thick surge of origin power poured down from the sky into Ye Qingxuan’s body.
Ye Qingxuan sat cross-legged and continuously circulated the Earth Immortal Art he had comprehended, beginning to improve his cultivation.
