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

Curious about what?

A look of curiosity also crossed Mu Xingzhi’s eyes, as his little junior uncle mentioned it, he became curious as well.

What was little junior uncle curious about?

Li Cheng then said, “What I’m curious about is whether or not our sect has any Immortal Stones. If so, give me some.”

Mu Xingzhi was astounded, and so were the other Loose Immortals.

Immortal Stones, of course, we have them!

But you haven’t yet crossed the Tribulation, what difference would giving you Immortal Stones make from giving you poison?

The Sect Master joined in the conversation, laughing, “Junior brother, in the past, when seniors from the Immortal World descended to the Lower World, they would leave behind some Immortal Stones. Currently, we still have some, but you haven’t crossed the Tribulation yet. Refining Immortal Stones is essentially asking for a self-destruction!”

“Why don’t you just cross the Tribulation right away, and then 1 will make the decision to give you all the Immortal Stones.”

Everyone looked approvingly at the Sect Master. What a great idea!

Li Cheng’s eyes brightened, not because of the latter part of the statement, but because the sect had Immortal Stones!

“How many?” Li Cheng asked.

Everyone keenly observed the change in Li Cheng’s expression, all feeling pleased, there might be a chance!

They had tried every possible way to get Li Cheng to cross the Tribulation, could it be that in the end, Immortal Stones would be the bait?

The Sect Master held up a finger, smiling without saying a word.

Li Cheng was speechless. You’re not going to tell me, should I guess?

“A hundred million?” Li Cheng said with some anticipation. Well, let’s guess then!

The Sect Master’s expression froze. A hundred million Immortal Stones?

What kind of joke is that?

Those are Immortal Stones, not Spirit Stones!

Clearing his throat, the Sect A/Iaster quickly said, “We do have several billion Spirit Stones, but as for Immortal Stones, well, there are one hundred.”

He dared not let Li Cheng continue to guess—a number that could scare someone to death. It would be better to proactively reveal it.

“So few?”

Li Cheng was without words. He had initially wanted to directly ask for some, but he hadn’t expected there to be so few. It was rather embarrassing to even ask now.

Few?

The Sect Master felt an urge to cough up blood. A hundred Immortal Stones! In this Kunlun Southern Region, only the top ten sects could have that many Immortal Stones. For other powers, having one or two was already considered pretty good.

Most importantly, only after overcoming the Heaven Tribulation and experiencing a baptism of Immortal Qi, could one barely absorb the Immortal Qi within Immortal Stones.

Even as a Loose Immortal, despite having Immortal Yuan within them, they dared not refine Immortal Stones recklessly.

This is because Immortal Stones are born of the Immortal World, tinged with the breath of Immortal World’s laws. Although not laws themselves, they would produce rejection in Loose Immortals who hadn’t undergone a baptism of Immortal Qi, with severe consequences.

Of course, there are some Loose Immortals who can absorb Immortal Stones, but those have passed many Loose Immortal Tribulations. With the number of times they’ve gone through the Loose Immortal Tribulations increasing, the rejection from the Immortal Stones decreases.

In contemplation, the Sect A^aster suddenly realized a serious problem. Now that the sect’s Loose Immortals were increasing the number of times they overcame the Loose Immortal Tribulations, it wouldn’t be long before everyone could absorb the Immortal Qi inside the Immortal Stones!

If that were the case, these few Immortal Stones would be nowhere near enough to supply everyone!

Thinking of this, the Sect Master said with a bitter smile, “Indeed, it is too few, but there’s nothing we can do about it. It has been tens of thousands of years since any predecessors from the Immortal World descended.”

Li Cheng nodded. “In the past, there were quite a few Immortals descending to the Lower World, and many fell within the Kunlun Realm. If we can locate the places where they fell, we should be able to gather quite a few Immortal Stones.”

Everyone simply smiled. This idea was not wrong!

But, the lands where those Immortals fell, if they could be discovered, had long been discovered already.

“Speaking of who has the most Immortal Stones, it must definitely be Grand Venerable Bai Jie. If you could find a place where he stayed, or find him personally, the number of Immortal Stones would certainly be frightening,” Bai Tieyi said jokingly.

Grand Venerable Bai Jie slew many big shots from the Immortal World, so of course, he lacked no Immortal Stones.

“Alright, let’s not digress, in fact, each sect’s Immortal Stones are generally reserved as travelling expenses for those who’re ascending,” the Sect Master said with a smile.

Before ascending, Ascenders often left the majority of their possessions to their descendants because most of these would become redundant in the Immortal World.

And Immortal Stones, they were the hard currency of the Immortal World; taking a few during ascension ensured that one wouldn’t arrive there completely destitute.

“Little junior brother wants Immortal Stones, so are you planning to ascend?” Bai Tieyi asked.

Li Cheng quickly shook his head, “No, 1 was just asking casually.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked somewhat disappointed. Okay, they got their hopes up for nothing!

The Sect Master chuckled, “Actually, there’s nothing much in the Kunlun Realm, the Immortal World is the good place, filled with Immortals and abundant Immortal Elixirs everywhere; it’s where we should aim to go.”

“Hmm, with the little junior uncle’s ability, just refining some Immortal Pills would probably cause a sensation in the Immortal World. Once you make a name, there’ll be lines of Immortals…”

Li Cheng hastily interrupted Mu Xingzhi, “Alright, Sect Master, 1 need to go out for something important. You need to gather some Rising Yuan Pill materials quickly, and I’ll refine them when I return.”

The Rising Yuan Pill, varying from grade one to eight, linked from Qi Refinement Realm to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, was used to enhance one’s cultivation.

Having said this, Li Cheng had already disappeared beyond their senses.

Everyone was stunned. He left just like that?

“Is the little junior uncle not interested in Immortals? As soon as we speak of Immortals, he takes off,” said the Seventh Elder, perplexed.

Mu Xingzhi shook his head, “He still doesn’t want to ascend, huh!”

“Enough, why aren’t you preparing the Rising Yuan Pill materials yet? Pay special attention to the seventh and eighth-grade pills!” the Sect Master said with a fierce look in his eyes.

“Right!” The Seventh Elder slapped his thigh, “With the seventh and eighth grade Rising Yuan Pills, our sect will soon see a large group of cultivators reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage!”

Mu Xingzhi nodded, “Seventh Elder, you take the First Elder with you to the Hundred Calamities Commerce Union for procurement, and make sure to get plenty!”

These days, Li Cheng had been refining Breakthrough Pills, so nobody needed to worry about their realms, but the accumulation of True Yuan was the real issue; relying solely on Spirit Stones was too slow.

With enough Rising Yuan Pills, however, increasing one’s cultivation would be much faster.

Li Cheng had already left the sect, flying rapidly towards the north.

The reason he offered to refine Rising Yuan Pills was to make some Emperor Grade pills to nurture his disciples, to accelerate their development, so he could benefit from their progress.

Sensing the map on his Immortal Stone occasionally, Li Cheng found that the guidance was becoming clearer!

Ahead of him, suddenly, was the Red Flame Mountain Range that he had visited a few days ago!

Li Cheng stopped and carefully sensed the map, “Could the treasure be in the Red Flame Mountain Range?”

The map directed him to the north; unable to determine how many tens of thousands of miles it might be, maybe inside the Red Flame Mountain Range or perhaps already beyond it.

But as long as he kept moving forward, he would eventually pin down the location.

Just as Li Cheng was ready to continue, his Spiritual Sense detected a flying warship speeding towards him from three thousand miles away.

The warship was equipped with a Concealing Formation; if not for Li Cheng’s powerful Spiritual Sense, it might have gone unnoticed.

What was more peculiar was that flying warships typically bore a power’s emblem, but the insignia on this one had been deliberately removed, and on the ship, there were more than thirty Loose Immortals!

So many Loose Immortals, using a Concealing Formation, and with their insignia erased, this scene was definitely not normal!

As the flying warship traveled southward and reached tens of miles from Li Cheng, more than thirty Spiritual Senses enveloped him, scanning him unscrupulously.

“A cultivation at the Complete Stage of the Tribulation Crossing, he must be looking for a place to undergo his tribulation; we needn’t bother, continue on our way, we’re nearly at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.”

“Wait, this man has remnants of Tribulation Thunder aura on him, as well as Pill Qi; could he be the one who triggered the Pill Tribulation?”

“It seems like he has noticed our flying warship!”

Their Spiritual Senses communicated among each other, unaware that their conversation was as clear to Li Cheng as if they were speaking right beside him..
