Chapter 209: Joining the Eternal Prosperity Sect
Even a Creation Pill could not heal it and from then on he was unable to advance further in cultivation.
Only then did the patriarch feel at ease to pass the position to his eldest son.
He planned to watch his beloved son smoothly take over the family, and after a few more years, he intended to try ascending to the Spirit Realm together with his true love.
The followers who had once supported Gou Guangyan from the third branch scattered, leaving only a small group of loyal followers behind.
In short, the entire branch, including their supporters, was in a miserable state.
In terms of relationships, Gou Guangming’s great-grandfather, grandmother, parents, and elder brother were all in a tragic position.
Because of this, after hearing Gou Guangming’s invitation, Gou Guangyan personally made a trip to the Eternal Prosperity Sect.
After seeing the vast and dense spiritual energy of the Eternal Prosperity Mountain Range, and meeting Xiao Shou and Fu Young, and receiving the initial portion of the Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art that could repair damaged divine souls, he immediately made his decision without hesitation.
He returned and brought the entire third branch of the Gou family to join the Eternal Prosperity Sect.
They were all now disciples of Eternal Nightlight Peak within the sect.
Cao Xue was different from Gou Guangming who came from a prestigious family.
He was a independent cultivator by origin.
Since childhood, due to his unfortunate fate, his parents abandoned him.
After wandering for a time, he was taken in by his master Fei Jin who was also a independent cultivator.
His master Fei Jin was now over nine hundred years old, he practiced both formations and talismans, and currently had a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation.
However, compared to Cao Xue who specialized in formations, he was more skilled in talisman arts and had once inherited ancient talisman techniques.
Cao Xue was his sixth disciple.
Besides Cao Xue, he had more than ten other disciples, and including their descendants, there were roughly over a hundred people in total, each with some achievements in formations or talismans.
This time, Cao Xue returned to invite his master and fellow disciples to join the Eternal Prosperity Sect.
In Cao Xue’s view, they lost nothing with the Sect Master whose bathed in merit and the Senior Brother who are possessed overwhelming fortune.
The spiritual energy density of the Eternal Prosperity Mountain Range also now far exceeded that of other sects.
The cave dwelling that his master had painstakingly fought for could not even compare, the spiritual energy there was too thin.
No wonder his master had failed to advance for so many years.
In addition, the treasure vault was filled with magical artifacts and spirit treasures that Xiao Shou had purchased or fused, all of which could be exchanged through sect contributions.
This was far better than risking one’s life outside to fight for treasures.
There was also the Scripture Pavilion with countless jade slips and cultivation techniques copied by Fu Young, including all the martial family’s libraries he had read before as well as various texts he had collected himself.
These could also be copied with contribution points.
In short, with the two of them here, the future of the Eternal Prosperity Sect was absolutely bright.
Because of this, when he left the sect together with Gou Guangming to meet masterster, he kept talking nonstop about the benefits of the Eternal Prosperity Sect to him.
Fei Jin listened until he was deeply tempted.
As for the possibility that his disciple was lying to trick him, Fei Jin never considered it at all.
He understood his sixth disciple very well.
This child did not like lying.
Since childhood, because of his constant bad luck, he had read many books and finally concluded that accumulating merit was the way to resolve misfortune.
From then on, Cao Xue not only never lied, but also acted with kindness in everything he did.
A disciple like this would trick his master?
Fei Jin could not imagine it.
Later, upon hearing that the Eternal Prosperity Sect was in a critical stage of development and that treasures in the vault were waiting for disciples to exchange for them, he immediately brought a large group of disciples and descendants to follow Cao Xue without hesitation.
He had been an Nascent Soul cultivator for so long and had never obtained a single spirit treasure.
Thus, Fei Jin and his group arrived at the Eternal Prosperity Sect even earlier than Gou Guangming’s family.
Upon entering the sect, everyone was deeply overwhelmed by the dense spiritual energy of the Eternal Prosperity Mountain Range.
They were so reluctant to take another step that some with good aptitude even broke through on the spot.
Fei Jin had just stepped into Eternal Spirit Stone Peak when he immediately broke through the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years, advancing from mid Nascent Soul to late Nascent Soul.
Of course, there was one exception in the group, the unlucky Cao Xue.
After all, during the evolution of the spirit vein, everyone’s cultivation had already advanced.
Xiao Shou and Fu Young had reached First Rotation Nascent Soul, An Yu had reached fourth stage Foundation Establishment, and the children who had never cultivated had directly entered the stage of Qi Refining.
Even those who had cultivated experienced improvements.
So Cao Xue was indeed very unlucky.
After the breakthrough, Fei Jin met Xiao Shou and Fu Young and immediately swore a heart demon oath to pledge loyalty to the Eternal Prosperity Sect without any hesitation.
This was much more refreshing than Gou Guangyan’s bargaining.
In a good mood, upon hearing that Fei Jin specialized in both formations and talismans, Xiao Shou simply assigned Eternal Amulet Peak to him and appointed him as its peak master.
After all, as a master, it did not look appropriate to be living in a disciple’s peak.
After Fei Jin returned, he discussed things with his sixth disciple Cao Xue.
He directly left all the disciples and grand-disciples skilled in formations to him, while he himself took the disciples skilled in talisman arts and moved to Eternal Amulet Peak.
