Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 101: Chapter 91 Body Refining Late Period, Pot Cave Heaven Upgrade!_2

“`

“My five senses have greatly increased, at least by thirty percent, and they are still slowly improving.”

“After reaching the later stages of Body Refining, I can feel that my Divine Soul has also received a substantial boost. It seems that Body Refining and Qi Cultivation ultimately lead to the same destination, both enhancing the Divine Soul in the later stages!”

“This makes sense, after all, one of the major features of Foundation Establishment is the qualitative transformation of a powerful Divine Sense derived from the Divine Soul!”

“My body’s reactions have also been rapidly improving, and my understanding of the North Dipper Greedy Wolf Fist seems to have broken through to a small realm.”

“Apart from the increase in power, I can now control the amount of white qi produced. I don’t have to fight to the death with every punch like before, which would then require medicine to recover.”

...

“However, it seems that I won’t trigger an increase in proficiency of the Greedy Wolf chapter unless I exert full effort in its execution.”

“But, I should be considered to be training quite quickly, right? After all, even the physique of a genius in Body Cultivation at the Qi Refinement Realm, however great it might be, can’t recover faster than me continuously taking medicine, right?”

Su Ping, stretching his now even whiter and more powerful slender arms, felt like he had truly entered the later stages of Body Refining.

Su Ping felt that he could now kill that late Qi Refinement Realm giant ape with his fists alone, with absolute certainty!

Su Ping could sense that, also in the late Qi Refinement Realm, the giant ape could fight several demon wolves or Mountain Xiaos on its own.

And now he could kill the giant ape!

Did that mean that he, who had just entered the late period from the seventh layer of Body Refining, could now be on par with those at the eighth or even ninth layer in Body Cultivation?

No, considering that demon beasts are generally stronger than average Body Cultivators, perhaps he’s even stronger than he thought!

Having a Sacred Body is truly amazing!

This was also good news for Su Ping.

Compared with cultivators of the same realm, his faster reaction speed and increased physical strength would allow him to make fuller use of modern weapons.

As long as he was faster than his opponent, he wasn’t afraid of bullets not hitting their target!

In addition, the physical quality and strengthening of his Divine Soul brought about by the later stages of Body Refining were also preconditions for learning Divine Skills!

And Divine Skills pave the magnificent avenue leading to Foundation Establishment!

Days passed by.

Just as Su Ping had fully adapted to the miraculous changes of the later stages of Body Refining,

he received another announcement from the Immortal Sect.

It turned out to be a recruitment order issued by the Immortal Sect to territories everywhere.

The reason was made clear: against the backdrop of the Evil Qi Tide, there were continuous natural disasters and human calamities within the Immortal Sect Territory.

To contain this worsening situation, the Immortal Sect was willing to recruit all Loose Cultivators willing to contribute to the cause of vanquishing evil, to join the Outer Sect as Registered Disciples.

The Immortal Sect would provide these Registered Disciples with corresponding Cultivation Techniques, basic resources, and open several Second Tier Spirit Vein locations for the Loose Cultivators to cultivate.

They also opened up access for outsiders to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills and related techniques at the Merit and Demerit Hall.

In return, the Registered Disciples were expected to take over the tasks of the original Outer Sect Disciples, working for the Sect, and some with strong combat capabilities might even be enlisted into the Evil Exorcism Camp to fight the enemy.

“Is this… because they’re running out of low-tier cannon fodder and starting to look for cultivators from other sects to fill their ranks?”

That was Su Ping’s first thought after reading the recruitment order.

And he was well aware that, while the recruitment order seemed to target Loose Cultivators, those with inferior spiritual roots who actually went to the Outer Sect would just be there to make up the numbers.

The real targets of the Immortal Sect were likely to be those from Immortal Cultivation families and disciples from smaller sects and clans outside of Immortal Sects who, like him, were semi-retired but regretted it and wanted to advance further.

Even, those cultivators were probably the primary target!

Among them, there were not a few who were at the Middle Period or Late Period of Qi Refinement, but had failed due to competition, lacked resources or techniques, and were in a phase of accumulating experience.

If the Immortal Sect offered attractive enough conditions, these cultivators would likely not mind temporarily stepping into the shoes of Loose Cultivators to serve.

As Su Ping saw the recruitment order, he also received a message from the manager of the Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop.

The owner behind Nine Leaf Mountain Workshop seemed quite optimistic about him.

Su Ping was hinted that if he planned to return to the Immortal Sect, she could lend him a hand, helping him to smoothly reinstate his status and join her squad.

In response, Su Ping thought the Inner Sect sister was probably thinking too much.

He, Su Ping, would never return to the Immortal Sect to be cannon fodder again!

An Inner Sect sister as a leg to stand on? Haha, in the current situation, Inner Sect Disciples are just larger pieces of cannon fodder.

Although he had firmly decided not to respond to the recruitment order, the series of actions by the Immortal Sect still made Su Ping feel a sense of urgency.

Therefore, Su Ping chose to first exchange the Floating Illusion Temple back for the Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion in the Pot Cave Heaven.

He wanted to take advantage of the enhancement effect of this rare building to reach the Late Period of Qi Refinement as soon as possible, so that he could become a powerhouse in the Outer Sect with Dual Cultivation of Body and Magic in both Late Periods!

Su Ping looked at the accumulation of fish he had gathered in the warehouse over time.

“`

After some thought, he decided to save a portion to eat or exchange for Spiritual Medicine to consume later.

Su Ping converted the rest of his fish catch into Fishing Coins and started the card drawing mode!

Ten consecutive draws!

He got one Teleportation Talisman and nine commons.

Another ten consecutive draws!

This time there was only one purple again, but it was a useful special building:

[Evil Exorcism Punishment Stone Saint, Special Building, Quality: Rare, exclusive to Pot Cave Heaven, placing it can slightly increase the Spiritual Energy output of the cave heaven.]

“Finally, a special building I can use!”

“With this special building, Pot Cave Heaven can finally be upgraded!”

Su Ping felt joy in his heart, paused the card drawing, and immediately summoned the Evil Exorcism Punishment Stone Saint to arrange it.

Instantly!

A purple stone giant elephant, slightly taller than the Evil Exorcism Punishment Stone Lion, appeared in mid-air.

Under Su Ping’s command, the Evil Exorcism Punishment Stone Saint and the Stone Lion materialized side by side at the entrance of the Moonlight Listening Wind Pavilion.

They stood like two Guardian Divine Beasts guarding the door.

Sweet celestial music suddenly echoed throughout Pot Cave Heaven.

Accompanied by the rolling Cloud Sea.

Su Ping saw a floating mountain range, no less splendid than the current Floating Mountain, materialize from the void in front of him, solidifying into a new plot of land for building arrangements.

Su Ping quickly relocated the Floating Illusion Temple, Bone Burying Ground, and the Big Locust Tree with a Human Face there.

Instantly, the main peak was immersed in celestial air once more, and the artistic style was unified again.

This was truly a cause for celebration!

Meanwhile, as new main buildings emerged, the Spiritual Energy increased again.

The density of Spiritual Energy in Pot Cave Heaven had exceeded Su Ping’s knowledge, and he could only roughly guess that it was no worse than the Core Cave Mansions used by Inner Sect Disciples.

Even the cultivation dwellings of some external Foundation Establishment Great Powers might not be better than his own Pot Cave Heaven!

At the same time, the experience of Pot Cave Heaven also changed:

[Pot Cave Heaven: Yunlai Immortal Realm]

[Current Pot Cave Heaven Level: 2 (10/200)]

[Upgrade Mission: Travel Shop has appeared]

“Thank goodness, from level 1 to level 2, there’s no need for additional requirements or tasks to get new practical space.”

“And the upgrade mission Travel Shop has also appeared.”

“The Travel Shop will refresh at irregular intervals, revealing all sorts of strange travel merchants, from whom I can sell the junk I get from card drawing to recover some coins; plus, sometimes they sell useful stuff that can be bought with Fishing Coins.”

“This is an early bird feature indeed!”

“This mission is a must, a top priority!”

Su Ping opened the mission interface to view the details.

He found out that to open the Travel Shop, he needed not only 100 Little Green Fish and 50 Big Bluefish but also:

To visit fifty historical landmarks and use the travel camera for check-in.

“Most landmarks in the game are beautiful natural sceneries or historic cultural buildings with historical and mythological legends,”

“Such places are scarce in the Mortal Realm of the Immortal Cultivation World, while in non-Mortal Realms they tend to be somewhat dangerous, but on Water Blue Star, there are quite a few suspected sites.”

“I’ll first visit Water Blue Star to see if I can contribute to the completion.”

After pondering, Su Ping made a plan.

He chose to accept the task.

A quaint coffee-colored camera emerged from the void as a mission item and landed in Su Ping’s hands.

Su Ping returned to Frost Moon Villa, lifted the camera towards Frost Moon Lake,

and discovered that Frost Moon Lake was not recognized by the camera.

Which was not unexpected.

The fame of Frost Moon Lake was only somewhat well-known around Golden Sparrow City.
