Immortal Cultivation: Starting as a Fortune Cultivator - Chapter 28

“Really? For free?”

After hearing Bai Wenyang’s words, Ye Qingxuan’s face showed an expression of disbelief.

Was the Xuantian Sect’s support for Fu Cultivator disciples this substantial?

Not only was there a free, doubled supply of cultivation resources, but even various related knowledge and inheritances could be obtained for free?

However, after a moment’s thought, Ye Qingxuan understood the reasoning behind the Xuantian Sect’s approach.

All the Blessed Lands were located within the Xuantian Mountain Range. After a Fu Cultivator passed away, the ownership of the Blessed Land ultimately remained with the Xuantian Sect.

The Sect’s initial investment would eventually be reflected back into the Xuantian Mountain Range itself. The final beneficiary would always be the master of the Xuantian Mountain Range—the Xuantian Sect.

Fu Cultivators were essentially just tools!

But even so, Ye Qingxuan had to admit that the Xuantian Sect’s support for Fu Cultivators was indeed very generous.

The key point was that the Xuantian Sect did not encroach upon the interests of Fu Cultivator disciples during their lifetimes. That was enough!
There is no such thing as a free lunch. One receives favors in life and must repay them in death!
Ye Qingxuan wasn’t opposed to the Xuantian Sect’s method. In his view, this approach was quite reasonable.

Knowing that everything he wanted was in the Library Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan didn’t stay long and prepared to go see the Xuantian Sect’s Library Pavilion for himself!
Before leaving, he specifically purchased a batch of spiritual herbs needed for various first-grade pills like Qi-Guiding Pills, Antidote Pills, Energy-Restoring Pills, Grass-Returning Pills, and others.

He only bought enough herbs for ten batches of each pill—not much, as these pills were just for Ye Qingxuan to practice with.

Although he might not have an immediate use for these pills, experimenting with refining different types of pills would ultimately be beneficial for his future path in alchemy.

Anyway, the formulas for all these pills were included in the fifth-grade Alchemist inheritance his family had given him, so he didn’t need to buy the formulas separately.

Mastering the refinement methods for these pills would surely come in handy someday.

Leaving the market, Ye Qingxuan learned the Library Pavilion’s location from the disciples guarding the teleportation array. After several transfers via teleportation arrays, he finally arrived at the Library Pavilion’s site!

The Xuantian Sect’s Library Pavilion wasn’t built on any mountain peak!
The Pavilion itself was a mountain peak, except the interior had been hollowed out by the Sect and transformed into a vast library.

Standing before the main entrance of the Library Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan felt as small as an ant.

But he wasn’t shocked in his heart!
Just kidding, having been in the Di Xuan Realm for so long, he wasn’t the same person he used to be.

A mere library pavilion was no longer enough to astonish him.

Ye Qingxuan calmly stepped through the main door and found the interior space even larger than he had imagined. Row upon row of bookshelves, reaching impossibly high, were filled with dense collections of books!
He casually picked up one book. Its texture was very comfortable, as if made from a special jade-like material.

Upon opening it, I found that the contents were simply travelogues written by a senior student during his travels.

The books in the Library Pavilion contained almost everything, except for the portion related to the Sect’s core inheritances.

Moreover, these books were free. As long as they weren’t taken out of the Library Pavilion, anyone could make copies at will.

The only requirement was that the copied books must not be transmitted to outsiders. After all, the Xuantian Sect didn’t want the books accumulated over generations to be easily stolen by outsiders, making all their efforts someone else’s gain!
Ye Qingxuan scanned the area and found a steady flow of people; quite a few cultivators came to the Library Pavilion.

“So much free time? Doesn’t anyone need to focus on cultivation?” Ye Qingxuan silently grumbled to himself, then began looking around more carefully.

Soon, near the entrance, he found the Library Pavilion’s management office!
Approaching, he saw a slovenly-looking old man dozing off inside the counter, seemingly completely indifferent to everything happening in the library.

However, Ye Qingxuan didn’t look down on the old man. Instead, he took out his disciple token, held it respectfully in both hands, bowed, and said politely:

“Fu Cultivator Court disciple Ye Qingxuan pays his respects to the Elder! This disciple wishes to…” Before he could finish his sentence, the previously dozing old man suddenly waved his hand. Ye Qingxuan instantly vanished from the spot.

“Always disturbing this old man’s nap, these youngsters nowadays! They have no respect for their elders!”

Having said that, the old man turned over, found a new position, and continued his nap.

Somewhere inside the Library Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan’s figure suddenly appeared.

After a moment of startled uncertainty, Ye Qingxuan gradually calmed down. Surveying the space, he found he was alone.

Then, he turned his gaze to a bookshelf not far in front of him.

Walking up to it, he looked at the titles of the books. Almost all were related to Fu Cultivation.

However, after flipping through a few, he found they mostly contained knowledge about spiritual plants, ley lines, Blessed Lands, and so on. They didn’t include any actual techniques or spells.

“No wonder these Fu Cultivation-related books are placed in the Library Pavilion. It’s because they don’t contain the Sect’s technique inheritances!”

Ye Qingxuan couldn’t help feeling somewhat disappointed inside, but then he shook his head and mocked himself:

“That’s just being greedy.”

After all, it was free. One couldn’t set their expectations too high!
Actually, Ye Qingxuan didn’t know that there was more than one such special space within the Library Pavilion. They all contained books that were either particularly unique or valuable.

However, because the content of these books was special or precious, although they were kept in the Library Pavilion, access restrictions were applied.

For example, the books in the space Ye Qingxuan was currently in could generally only be viewed by Fu Cultivator Court disciples or those with a status of Core Disciple and above.

So, the content recorded in these books wasn’t as cheap as Ye Qingxuan had imagined.

Inside the space, Ye Qingxuan began patiently reading through the books.

He discovered that the vast majority of the content consisted of various methods to assist ley lines in advancing, introductions to spiritual plants beneficial to Blessed Lands, and important points to note during their cultivation.

Ley lines were the key to a Blessed Land. Only when the ley line advanced would the Blessed Land gradually evolve accordingly. A first-grade ley line corresponded to a first-grade Blessed Land. Ley lines and Blessed Lands were uniformly classified from first to tenth grade, with a one-to-one correspondence.

Regarding methods to help the Blessed Land advance, three spiritual plants were emphasized: Spirit-Gathering Grass, Spirit-Cleansing Tree, and Earth-Soul Flower!

These three spiritual plants could be cultivated within the Blessed Land and could grow continuously.

Especially the Earth-Soul Flower; high-grade Earth-Soul Flowers could gather the essence of the twelve major elements within the Di Xuan Realm, which was crucial for stabilizing the interior of a Blessed Land and advancing it to a higher grade.

As for the Spirit-Gathering Grass and Spirit-Cleansing Tree, one could gather spiritual energy to accelerate the Blessed Land’s growth, and the other could assist the ley line in purifying negative energies within the Blessed Land, maintaining the purity of the Blessed Land’s origin. Both could provide significant assistance in the Blessed Land’s advancement!

This knowledge could fill in the foundational understanding for a Fu Cultivator, but the specific development path for a Blessed Land still depended on the Fu Cultivator’s own planning.

After all, knowing the methods was one thing; being able to cultivate these spiritual plants and make them grow quickly enough to drive the Blessed Land’s advancement was another matter entirely.

After reading these books, Ye Qingxuan pondered slightly:
“The spiritual herb seeds my family gave me include seeds for Spirit-Gathering Grass and Earth-Soul Flower. But the Spirit-Cleansing Tree doesn’t fall into the category of medicinal herbs, so the seeds I received don’t include the Spirit-Cleansing Tree’s seeds.”

“However, obtaining the Spirit-Cleansing Tree within the Xuantian Sect probably won’t be difficult.”

Countless spiritual plants had been born within the Xuantian Mountain Range over the ages. Having occupied the range for so many years, something like the Spirit-Cleansing Tree seeds shouldn’t be considered rare inside the Xuantian Sect!

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan wasn’t worried about being unable to find Spirit-Cleansing Tree seeds within the Xuantian Sect!
