Chapter 444 - 237, Return to Starfall Sect, Take Out the Sect Master’s Secret Order_2
But soon, as he delved deeper into the Cave, his eyes were quickly drawn to the various dazzling treasures.
Inside the Cave were dozens of storage shelves, each over one hundred feet long and about thirty feet high.
On the shelves were a variety of categorized Pills, Spiritual Ores, medicinal herbs, Artifacts, and stacks of Talismans.
These Spiritual Objects must be worth at least hundreds of millions of Spirit Shells, and this is just a fraction of the Immeasurable Sect’s foundation...
After carefully inspecting all the Spiritual Objects, Xu Xing swallowed, instantly gaining a profound understanding of the Immeasurable Sect’s wealth.
A Freelance Cultivator’s accumulation of assets simply can’t compare to that of a Large Sect that monopolizes a territory.
The highest level of Spiritual Objects in this treasury reached only the Dao Pill level, but their quantity was considerable. They were sufficient to arm dozens of True Monarchs and support dozens of True Monarchs in their Breakthrough from the Early Stage of Dao Pill to the Dao Pill Later Stage.
The Immeasurable Sect is just a medium-sized sect with a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord. If it were a Large Sect like the Flying Feather Immortal Palace or the Pill Cauldron Sect, their foundation... would likely be even greater... Xu Xing mused.
He felt as if he’d lost out on a hundred million.
If Ruan Baimei hadn’t interfered, he might have already become the Seventeenth Sect Leader of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace by now, obtaining a portion of the foundation of one of the Ten Major Sects.
Ruan Baimei... Xu Xing narrowed his eyes, mentally repeating the name of his rival.
"This is a bottle of Heavy Cloud pill, five in total. Take them, Junior Brother," Gu Chengbin said. He waved his Sleeve, using Magic Power to retrieve a Pill Bottle from a storage shelf. After weighing it, he handed it to Xu Xing.
"Junior Brother, if you possess any Ancient Inheritance, you can deliver it to the Hall of Law Transmission, and the Sect will reward you accordingly," Gu Chengbin continued, after pondering for a moment and bowing to Xu Xing. "Or, if it’s more convenient, you can give it directly to me."
He had brought Xu Xing to the Sect’s treasury and given him the Heavy Cloud pill... The Immeasurable Sect had treated Xu Xing generously.
"Of course, if Junior Brother is unwilling, your elder brother won’t force you. It would also be good if, after you emerge from seclusion, you accept a few disciples within the Sect and pass down the inheritance..." Gu Chengbin added.
He believed that Xu Xing gifting Blood Pills to Kang Han and Helan Lianjiang indicated his intention to align with the Sect, which was why he tentatively made this suggestion.
"There’s no need to accept disciples. This Junior Brother’s Cultivation is still shallow; taking disciples would be misleading them," Xu Xing replied after a brief pause. He took out a Jade Slip from his Sleeve and handed it to Gu Chengbin. "This is the Cultivation Method I practice, Senior Brother. You can have someone record it in the Hall of Law Transmission."
The Withered Wood Sword Scripture Cultivation Method he practiced was taught by the Giant Sword Daoist Monarch. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to hand it over.
However... he did have quite a few Cultivation Method Jade Slips in his possession. Some of these methods, in terms of grade, were not inferior to the Withered Wood Sword Scripture. He could hand one over now to prevent the Immeasurable Sect from becoming suspicious.
"This Yellow Jade Technique only goes up to the Dao Pill level. As for the subsequent parts of the Cultivation Method... Junior Brother will also have to wait for a Breakthrough in Cultivation before obtaining them from the Law Transmission Jade Container..." Xu Xing explained after some thought.
"Understandable, understandable." Seeing this, Gu Chengbin harbored no suspicions. His already friendly expression softened further. He accepted the Jade Slip Xu Xing offered, placed it in his Sleeve, and chuckled.
Inheritance Jade Slips often had Magic Power seals that required a Cultivator to reach a certain Realm to undo. Although they could be forcibly broken, there was no need. If breaking the seal by force resulted in an incomplete Cultivation Method, the loss would outweigh the gain.
"Junior Brother, by offering a Cultivation Method, you have benefited the Sect. As for the treasures in this treasury, Junior Brother Chang, feel free to take whichever you fancy," Gu Chengbin said, gesturing towards the numerous treasures on the shelves with a smile, stroking his beard.
Since Xu Xing had shown his willingness to align with the Sect, the Sect shouldn’t be stingy with one or two treasures. He had brought Xu Xing to the Sect’s treasury precisely with the intention of bestowing treasures to win him over.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Gu." Xu Xing readily returned Gu Chengbin’s bow, his gaze then lingering on the treasures on the shelves, trying to pick out a few good items.
He had no intention of searching for overlooked treasures. The lie that treasure getting high on itself might fool Bottom-level Cultivators.If there were truly inscrutable treasures, they would have likely been taken by the Sect’s Ancestors as their private collection long ago.Storage Bags weren’t expensive, anyway.
This Snow Lingzhi is quite good. Xu Xing walked to the spiritual herb section. Searching his memory, he considered the price differences of spiritual herbs between the two zhou and finally selected this spiritual treasure.
Snow Lingzhi was relatively scarce in East Huangzhou, so its price consistently remained high.In Nanyan Continent, it was also the type of item that was valuable but rarely available.Choosing this Snow Lingzhi and selling it in East Huangzhou could earn him a considerable fortune.
"Junior Brother Chang... no need to be so modest. The Sect’s treasury isn’t lacking such a small sum," Gu Chengbin said with a slight frown. He retrieved a small silver shield from a storage shelf and handed it to Xu Xing, shaking his head. "Take this Silver Scale Shield along with the Snow Lingzhi."
After obtaining the Breaking Realm Pill Medicine Heavy Cloud Pill from the Immeasurable Sect’s treasury, Xu Xing, as expected, returned to Crane Mountain Marketplace to enter seclusion Cultivation.
On the day he entered seclusion, he used the Teleportation Array in his Cave Mansion. After several transfers, he arrived at Small Ring Mountain, where he used the Cross-State Teleportation Array to leave Nanyan Continent.
「One year later.」
Xu Xing boarded a Sea-Crossing flying boat to the North Wilderness of East Huangzhou and arrived at the Starfall Sect.
He planned to spend the remaining twenty years at the Starfall Sect, cultivating in seclusion in their Blessed Land until he could Achieve Nascent Soul.
His parallel self in the Instance World had already reached Dao Pill Nine Transformations; with one cultivation achieving Eternal Proof, he only needed to absorb energy to reach Dao Pill Nine Transformations.
