Immortal Cultivation: Starting as a Fortune Cultivator - Chapter 16

Five years later.

Ye Qingxuan was now seventeen years old. His body had fully developed into its adult form. Even dressed in simple blue robes, he carried an air of graceful elegance.

It had to be said, his appearance in this life was truly quite handsome.

His cultivation had also finally broken through to the third level of Qi Refinement.

If he were in the outside world, reaching the third level of Qi Refinement with his Single Spiritual Root would have taken at least twenty years.

But relying on the exceptional cultivation environment and resources of the Profound Heaven Sect, Ye Qingxuan had managed it in just five years.

This was one of the advantages of joining the Profound Heaven Sect.

After breaking through to the third level of Qi Refinement, thanks to his constantly evolving soul, Ye Qingxuan had even condensed his spiritual sense ahead of schedule.

Normally, condensing spiritual sense required breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refinement, reaching the late stage of the Qi Refinement realm.

However, Ye Qingxuan’s innate powerful soul, combined with five years of nourishing by spiritual energy, led to the birth of his spiritual sense as early as the third level of Qi Refinement.

Once he had spiritual sense, Ye Qingxuan began studying the alchemy inheritance his family had given him.

With the assistance of spiritual sense, stepping over the threshold of alchemy would be much smoother.

The alchemy inheritance prepared by his family was a fifth-tier art, corresponding to the Nascent Soul realm. The inheritance contained many pill recipes from the first to the fifth tier.

This delighted Ye Qingxuan. A fifth-tier alchemy art would be sufficient for him to learn and use for a very long time.

When he started learning alchemy, Ye Qingxuan didn’t rush to buy a pill furnace or spirit herbs for practice. Instead, he calmly focused on absorbing the foundational knowledge.

Due to his constantly evolving and strengthening soul, Ye Qingxuan’s learning and comprehension abilities were monstrous.

From the characteristics of tens of thousands of spirit herbs to the variations of different heating levels, Ye Qingxuan absorbed and mastered every bit of knowledge, integrating it thoroughly in less than a year.

Furthermore, a spell attached to the alchemy inheritance, the Fire Control Art, was successfully grasped by Ye Qingxuan after just a few attempts.

In terms of theoretical knowledge of first-tier alchemy, Ye Qingxuan now rivaled most first-tier alchemists.

What he lacked now was just practical hands-on experience.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan prepared to make a trip outside to purchase a pill furnace and some spirit herbs to try his hand at alchemy.

At the same time, he planned to visit the sect’s Dharma Transmission Hall to exchange for a few spells to cultivate.

Currently, apart from the series of Fire Control Art techniques that came with the alchemy inheritance, he had no other spells at his disposal.

Having made up his mind, Ye Qingxuan stood up, opened the courtyard gate that had remained closed for so long, and quietly left the Bliss Cultivation Hall alone.

After all this time, most people in the Bliss Cultivation Hall were almost unaware of Ye Qingxuan’s existence.

After leaving the Bliss Cultivation Hall, Ye Qingxuan used his disciple token to take a teleportation formation, heading first to the Dharma Transmission Hall.

The Profound Heaven Sect also had a Library Pavilion, but it contained miscellaneous texts from the entire Earth Mysterious Realm. The books covered all aspects of the realm, and their number was countless.

Therefore, to differentiate, cultivation-related inheritance techniques, spells, etc., were all exchanged at the Dharma Transmission Hall.

As for the Library Pavilion, it had become an open library to broaden the knowledge and horizons of the sect’s disciples.

There were even frequent stories of disciples finding good spell inheritances by chance in the Library Pavilion.

The Profound Heaven Sect didn’t mind this, as some elders enjoyed this kind of mischievous taste.

As long as individuals were willing to bear any potential losses themselves and didn’t harm the sect’s interests, the Profound Heaven Sect was happy to let it happen.

When Ye Qingxuan arrived at the Dharma Transmission Hall, surprisingly, there was no one guarding it. At the massive entrance, thousands of disciples were coming and going.

Curious, Ye Qingxuan followed the crowd and stepped inside the Dharma Transmission Hall.

“Where is this?”

Looking at the unfamiliar environment before him, Ye Qingxuan was somewhat startled.

After entering the Dharma Transmission Hall, it was as if Ye Qingxuan had stepped into another independent space. The people who had entered with him had vanished.

The interior space of the Dharma Transmission Hall made Ye Qingxuan feel as if he were in a starry expanse. The originally dark space was illuminated by a sky full of bright stars.

Soon, a stream of information surfaced in his mind, and he immediately understood the method for exchanging spells in the Dharma Transmission Hall.

It turned out that the myriad stars in this space were individual inheritances.

By silently reciting the name of the spell he desired in his heart, if the Dharma Transmission Hall had it, or spells that met the requirements would appear before him for selection.

After making his choice and confirming the deduction of contribution points from his disciple token, Ye Qingxuan would receive the corresponding inheritance.

Spells were categorized into: Low-grade Spells, Mid-grade Spells, High-grade Spells, and Top-grade Spells.

Above spells were Minor Supernatural Powers.

The cultivation proficiency levels for both spells and Minor Supernatural Powers were divided into: Initiate, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.

Among them:

• Low-grade Spells are suitable for: Qi Refinement realm, Foundation Establishment realm.

• Mid-grade Spells are suitable for: Purple Mansion realm, Golden Core realm.

• High-grade Spells are suitable for: Golden Core realm, Nascent Soul realm.

• Top-grade Spells are suitable for: Spirit Severing realm.

• Minor Supernatural Power (Initiate) is suitable for: Cave Profound realm.

• Minor Supernatural Power (Minor Achievement) is suitable for: Void Comprehension realm.

• Minor Supernatural Power (Major Achievement) is suitable for: Transcending Tribulation realm.

• Minor Supernatural Power (Perfection) is suitable for: Ascension realm.

High-level cultivators can also use low-grade spells, but their effectiveness isn’t ideal when facing opponents of the same realm.

Therefore, after a cultivator’s breakthrough, they usually cultivate corresponding spells or Minor Supernatural Powers for self-defense.

After understanding this, Ye Qingxuan silently recited in his heart:

“Low-grade Spells!”

Instantly, as soon as the thought formed, the stars above began falling towards Ye Qingxuan like dumplings dropping into water, decreasing by about a quarter.

“Whoa!”

This scene startled Ye Qingxuan!
Fortunately, all the falling stars simply hovered around him at a short distance, displaying the names of various spells.

Spells like Lightbody Art, Wind Riding Art, Earth Escape Art, Gentle Breeze Sword Art, Water Bullet Art, Wood Binding Art, Earth Spike Art, and so on, appeared densely before Ye Qingxuan, making his head spin.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head to clear his mind slightly, then began to think.

Exchanging one Low-grade Spell required one thousand contribution points.

His current contribution points amounted to the one thousand he received upon reaching Qi Refinement, plus his monthly stipend of thirty points. Over five years, that was one thousand eight hundred points.

Altogether, he only had two thousand eight hundred contribution points, enough to exchange for only two Low-grade Spells for now.

Among the two spells, the Sword Flight Art was essential.

The Profound Heaven Sect’s territory was vast. While teleportation formations could be used for long distances, traveling shorter distances relied on oneself.

To save time and facilitate travel, exchanging for the Sword Flight Art was indispensable.

Having decided, Ye Qingxuan directly thought:

“Sword Flight Art!”

Instantly, the dense crowd of Low-grade Spells around him vanished, leaving only the Sword Flight Art.

After Ye Qingxuan used his token to pay one thousand contribution points, the star cluster representing the Sword Flight Art immediately released a stream of light that merged into Ye Qingxuan’s mind.

With this infusion, Ye Qingxuan received the inheritance for the Sword Flight Art.

Simultaneously, a restriction was placed on the content of the Sword Flight Art inheritance, preventing Ye Qingxuan from transmitting it to others.

Ye Qingxuan wasn’t particularly bothered by this.

As a hegemon-level power, it was normal for the Profound Heaven Sect to restrict the dissemination of its inheritances.

After obtaining the Sword Flight Art, Ye Qingxuan pondered which spell to exchange for next.

Located within the Profound Heaven Sect and being a Bliss Cultivation Reserve, Ye Qingxuan had no need for combat spells in the short term.

Even after truly becoming a Bliss Cultivator, he might not need to fight even once for thousands of years.

Therefore, wasting contribution points on offensive Low-grade Spells now was completely unnecessary.

In that case, everything should focus on the future development of his Blessed Land.

Thinking this, Ye Qingxuan silently recited again:

“Low-grade Spells that assist and accelerate the growth of spiritual plants.”

The next moment, dozens of spells appeared around him again.

He carefully browsed through all the spells and finally settled his gaze on the Revitalization Art and the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art.

The Revitalization Art targeted small areas or even single spiritual plants. It not only accelerated growth but also had a healing effect on the plants.

The Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art, on the other hand, targeted large-scale spiritual plants. It could create a wide-area spiritual rain to accelerate their growth.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qingxuan finally chose the Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Art.

After all, when managing a Blessed Land in the future, he didn’t want spiritual plants to consume most of his time.
