Chapter 357: Chapter 238: Cultivation World 28
"You should go arrange your cave dwellings first. Tomorrow at seven in the morning, gather at my cave dwelling."
"Yes, Master," the six of them bowed and said.
After Si Lingle left, the six of them went back to their respective cave dwellings.
The first thing they did upon returning to their cave dwellings was to open the greeting gifts that Si Lingle had given them. Upon seeing one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, along with immortal crystals, various elixirs, and talismans, they were all astonished.
Even Xie Lan and Xu Xian, who came from good family backgrounds, were somewhat surprised. Their master was truly generous.
To actually give them immortal crystals.
Their families didn’t have many immortal crystals, and now their master had given them three low-grade immortal crystals.
After examining the greeting gifts, Xie Lan and Xu Xian immediately transmitted messages to their families.
Informing them that they had become direct disciples of True Monarch Yun Hua.
Xie Lan and Xu Xian both came from the direct lineage of their families.
The Xie Family and the Xu Family were both under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The Xie Family was in Lingzhao City, and the Xu Family was in An Nan City, both were cultivation families.
In Lingzhao City, the Xie Family’s influence ranked third, with a Soul Emergence Ancestor as an elder of the Artifact Refining Peak and two Nascent Soul Stage elders who did not join the Heavenly Dao Sect, guarding the family.
Xie Lan’s grandfather was the current patriarch of the Xie Family, with Golden Core Great Perfection cultivation.
Xie Lan was originally supposed to apprentice under a Soul Emergence Stage Ancestor during the Foundation Establishment Stage, but missed the opportunity for various reasons. When Si Lingle released the news of accepting disciples,
the Xie Family’s Soul Emergence Stage Ancestor immediately instructed Xie Lan to register at Thousand Layer Peak.
If he could become Si Lingle’s direct disciple, the Xie Family would have a Soul Emergence Stage backing.
At that time, the Lin Family wouldn’t dare to act against the Xie Family.
The Xu Family in An Nan City ranked first in influence, with a Divinity Transformation Stage ancestor who was the Peak Master of Golden Mountain Peak.
Xu Xian was from the direct lineage, with his father as the current patriarch of the Xu Family and having Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, while his mother has Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation.
He was an Inner Sect disciple of the Artifact Peak of the Heavenly Dao Sect and had a Single Fire Spirit Root. With this backing and talent, he could have apprenticed during the Foundation Establishment Stage, but he didn’t find a suitable master, so he didn’t apprentice.
As for registering for the Thousand Layer Peak assessment, it was purely to see if Si Lingle was qualified to be his master.
After several assessments, Xu Xian found Si Lingle to be an interesting master, so he was willing to apprentice under him.
Compared to Xie Lan and Xu Xian, Tan Jinxia and Yu Qiuyao didn’t come from as prestigious backgrounds, but their families were part of the Cultivation World, small families with a few cultivators.
Their families couldn’t provide much cultivation resources, but still had some.
Wei Chenxiao was an orphan, picked up by a loose cultivator who, at the age of six, encountered a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, was severely injured, and died.
Later, Wei Chenxiao lived alone, entered the Heavenly Dao Sect at the age of eight, became an Outer Disciple, and after Foundation Establishment, became an Inner Sect Disciple of Magic Peak.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch originally intended to take him as a disciple, but because he offended Jia Bo, the grandson of the Third Elder of Magic Peak, no one from Magic Peak took him as a disciple.
Moreover, his cultivation resources were withheld.
He had no place to appeal against the expropriation.
Because this Third Elder had Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, also hailing from a cultivation family with many cultivation disciples.
Wei Chenxiao managed to progress to the Golden Core stage through sheer determination and risking his life in various trials.
As for the Secret Realm, he had never entered it, as the Jia Family would never give him the opportunity for a Secret Realm entry.
After progressing to the Golden Core stage, the Jia Family sent cultivators to assassinate him, but he counter-killed them instead.
Due to the assassination attempts, Wei Chenxiao stopped going on excursions outside the sect and stayed in seclusion within the sect, leaving the Jia Family no room to act.
He was fortunate that upon coming out of seclusion, he heard that the True Monarch of Soul Emergence at Thousand Layer Peak was accepting direct disciples, so he immediately registered.
After registering, the Jia Family couldn’t cause trouble.
The Peak Master of Thousand Layer Peak was a Refining Void Daoist Monarch, while the Jia Family’s highest cultivation was only Late-stage Nascent Soul.
Chang Cong’an came from the Mortal World where his family had practiced medicine for generations. He had been involved with medicine since childhood and entered the Heavenly Dao Sect at the age of ten.
Upon entering the Heavenly Dao Sect, his Spirit Root Talent was poor, so he joined the Outer Sect Servant Peak and became a servant disciple.
As a servant disciple, tasks were heavy, but cultivation resources were scarce. It took Chang Cong’an eleven years to cultivate to Qi Refinement Fifth Level.
After tidying up their cave dwellings, the six of them returned to their original residences to gather their belongings.
