Infinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!

Li Cheng was secretly delighted, having taken in a disciple from the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan really was like finding a treasure!

Since the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan were naturally born spiritual beings, created along with heaven and earth, they possessed an innate advantage in comprehending the Dao.

Li Cheng realized, no wonder the girl had turned into a boy—it was because, before reaching adulthood, members of the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan could change their gender at will.

That day when Li Cheng found her, she was alone, probably having changed back into a female to indulge in her vanity.

Today, with so many people present, she had changed into a male.

Upon reaching adulthood, their gender would become fixed, and there was a high chance they would awaken special physical constitutions.

Even without a special constitution, they were naturally very close to the laws of heaven and earth, making it extremely easy for them to comprehend the Dao.

However, it was precisely such advantages that led countless cultivators to want to seize their bodies or talents, which nearly resulted in the extermination of the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan.

If word got out that the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had a member of the Yin and Yang Spirit Clan, without a doubt, countless old monsters would come fighting for them, bringing disaster to the sect.

“She usually appears as a male, right?” Li Cheng asked.

The Seventh Elder nodded, “That’s right, this little girl joined our sect as a male, probably to protect herself!”

“But once she reaches adulthood, she can no longer appear as a male; if someone observant took notice, it would be easy to expose her.”

Li Cheng pondered for a moment before saying, “Then we can only release news that I’ve changed my mind and am not taking disciples after all, and then you can arrange for her male identity to die.”

As soon as he said this, the Seventh Elder understood. That had been his plan as well—feign death to deceive the other disciples, then reappear in her true gender.

“That’s quite simple, every day in our sect we have no idea how many disciples fall, one more won’t attract much attention. I’ll take care of it immediately,” the Seventh Elder said.

“How many days will it take?” asked Li Cheng, which was the crucial question.

The sooner he took a disciple, the sooner he would earn enlightenment opportunities!

“If Junior Uncle Master is in a hurry, I can arrange for some disciples to go out today, and it can be done by tomorrow.”

As for the specifics, Li Cheng trusted that the Seventh Elder could easily handle it; he just needed to wait for his second disciple to come knocking.

Just then, from afar in the sky, a mountain peak slowly approached.

Li Cheng’s eyes lit up, “My mountain peak is coming, thanks for your hard work, Seventh Elder!”

Having said that, Li Cheng flew towards the location of the Eighteen Peaks to wait.

“Junior Uncle Master, weren’t you interested in a certain Pill Child? Didn’t bring them? Did the Seventh Elder play tricks?” In a few moments, the Sect Master and the others caught up, asking doubtfully.

Li Cheng shook his head, “I changed my mind. Just now, upon looking again, I found we had no predestined connection.”

After hearing the answer, the Sect Master and the others felt even more conflicted!

Take the disciple, and waste time, delaying ascension.

Don’t take the disciple, but it would be such a pity that Junior Uncle Master’s unmatched Pill Skill would be without an heir.

“That mountain peak is quite nice; the Sixth Elder really went through a lot of trouble!” Li Cheng pointed to the distant mountain peak flying towards them, changing the subject.

The mountain peak was rugged and beautiful, enveloped by formations; below the mountain, the Sixth Elder personally supported it.

“The Sixth Elder has been complete in the Fusion Dao Stage for many years. If he could get a Unifying Pill, he would definitely step into the Mahayana Realm with ease, and the Tribulation Crossing Stage would be even closer,” the First Elder said with a smile.

Li Cheng glanced at the First Elder speechlessly; wasn’t it just a way of asking him to give out a Unifying Pill?

“By the way, Sect Master, I’m not taking any of the pills that were just made. You can deal with them,” Li Cheng said.

All eyes immediately lit up, and they all started making suggestive gestures at the Sect Master, as if to say: strike while the iron is hot!

The Sect Master had the same plan and shamelessly said, “Junior Uncle Master, the sect still has some materials for the Breakthrough Pills, I wonder if you could lend a hand?”

A few batches, huh?

His second disciple wasn’t ready to arrive, and he had nothing else to do, so why not!

“No problem, once the mountain peak is settled, the Sect Master can send someone over, and I will do my best.”

The senior members of the sect were overjoyed, and though they tried to conceal it, the excitement in their eyes was unmistakable.

The Sect Master’s heart stirred, and he laughed, “Sixth Elder will take care of this. He will set up the formations as well. Junior Uncle, our sect has a half-immortal artifact level Pill Tripod. How about we go take a look?”

“Indeed! If Junior Uncle can subdue the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!” the Elders echoed in agreement.

Li Cheng knew about the existence of the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod but, to tell the truth, he had no interest in a half-immortal artifact of the Pill Tripod kind.

A Pill Tripod, even if it were an Immortal Artifact, its primary function was for alchemy.

Of course, it could be used for offense and defense, but compared to weapons and armor of the same level, it was somewhat inferior.

More importantly, Li Cheng had no intention of committing to alchemy long term. Occupying the resources without using them properly did not sit well with him.

But then he thought about his second disciple who was soon to arrive. She was pursuing the Alchemy Dao, and if she could have the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod, it would be quite beneficial to give it to her.

With this in mind, Li Cheng nodded, “Alright, let’s have a look then!”

Everyone was filled with anticipation. The Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was created over fifty thousand years ago. It was said to be crafted by an Immortal of the sect who descended to the Lower World. It possessed such strong spiritual energy right from the start that, after more than fifty thousand years, it was highly likely to have developed Spiritual Wisdom.

However, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was incredibly proud, and since its creation, no one had been able to gain its recognition!

Under the Sect Master’s lead, everyone flew towards the central peak, and at the same time, Li Cheng sensed the fluctuations of the Sect Master’s Spiritual Consciousness.

Those fluctuations were the Sect Master transmitting a message to the Seventh Elder!

“Seventh Elder, Junior Uncle has agreed to craft some Breakthrough Pills for our sect. Hurry and prepare the materials. Skip the low-grade ones. Start with the ingredients for the Spirit Transforming Dan!”

“We are now taking Junior Uncle to try and subdue the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod. Meanwhile, notify Sixth Elder to delay the project a bit, so you have enough time to prepare. Make sure to move the entire stockpile over!”

Hearing the Sect Master’s transmission, the Seventh Elder, who was in the middle of arranging Ling Xi’s fake death, was stunned for quite a while.

Moving the entire stockpile of Breakthrough Pills? That’s no small number!

If it were up to him to craft them, he wouldn’t dream of finishing in ten thousand years!

That’s ruthless!

The corner of the Seventh Elder’s mouth twitched severely. Ruthless as it may be, once this was accomplished, it would not be long before the Heavenly Mechanism Sect could effortlessly reclaim its spot as the first among the top ten sects!

Of course, Li Cheng also heard the Sect Master’s Spiritual Consciousness transmission and was momentarily taken aback.

What a scheme!

Seeking the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod was actually a ruse to buy time!

He turned his head and glanced at the Sect Master, who was visibly excited, seemingly envisioning the plentiful stock of Breakthrough Pills at his disposal.

Alright then!

Having been part of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for so many years without contributing much, he might as well craft them!

It would probably work to throw several hundred batches of ingredients together for simultaneous processing.

Only… should he remind the Sect Master that he could hear his transmissions?

Forget it, bringing it up would be too awkward!

“Junior Uncle, the Purple Void Jade Emperor’s Tripod is inside this secret land!”

Upon arriving at the center’s Heaven Secret Peak, under the Sect Master’s leadership, the group reached a secluded cave.

The cave was vast, with more than a dozen glyptic portals standing tall, all entrances to secret lands.

“Our sect actually has this many secret lands?”

Having focused solely on cultivation, Li Cheng was visiting this place for the first time.
