Chapter 407: Chapter 254: Cultivation World 44_3
Si Lingle crouched down, gently stroking the rock, feeling the faint vibrations from the Spirit Vein.
Si Lingle extended her Spiritual Sense Technique, and after a few days, managed to extract the Spirit Vein.
Thus, two years passed, and Si Lingle relied on the detector to find three Spirit Veins and two ore veins.
Si Lingle collected all of them and returned to the sect, burying two Spirit Veins there, while the other Spirit Vein was given to the Life Pearl.
As for the ores, Si Lingle used them for Artifact Refining, crafting numerous Magic Artifacts and storing the Magic Treasures in the sect’s treasury.
Si Lingle thought that she still needed to recruit more people.
Thinking of this, Si Lingle decided to go poach some talents.
She encountered a Golden Core Stage cultivator in Fengzhou, who had offended someone in his sect and was exiled.
Si Lingle found this cultivator to be adept at dealing with people and knew from his appearance that he was a person of loyalty.
After explaining her intentions, Si Lingle went out to recruit.
In the northern Yinzhang Mountain Range of Fengzhou, Si Lingle found Mo Han, a steward at the Golden Core Early Stage. This cultivator, who once had unlimited success in Tiangang Sect’s Deacon Hall, was now standing in front of a half-collapsed bamboo hut, his black robe stained with mud.
He was assigned to the sect’s poorest Spirit Medicine Planting Area.
Mo Han was removed from the sect’s core after exposing an elder’s private dealings in sect spiritual ore smuggling.
Si Lingle approached Mo Han, "Mo Han, may I have a word?"
Mo Han saw the person in front of him—a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch—and was surprised she knew him.
"Taoist Monarch, please."
After sitting down, Si Lingle stated her purpose openly.
Mo Han did not expect this Taoist Monarch to be recruiting him into her sect.
He had never heard of Hundred Battle Sect, but being personally invited by a Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch showed the importance placed on him.
With the Tiangang Sect elder present, Mo Han had never had a chance to shine, so he agreed without much hesitation.
Mo Han left Si Lingle a communication message and went back to handle matters in the sect.
To leave the sect, he needed to clear his contribution points, return all exchanged resources, and the monthly stipend received over the years.
Si Lingle gave Mo Han Spirit Stones to ensure a smooth departure.
Three days later, Mo Han left the sect.
Si Lingle was already waiting at his mountain gate, and as soon as he emerged, she took him along and returned to Hundred Battle Sect.
Having brought him back to the sect, Si Lingle continued to recruit disciples.
Si Lingle heard of a country called Yu Country without any sect recruitment.
The reason no sects recruited from Yu Country was due to its small population; the Cultivation World visited hundreds of years ago but found no mortals with Spirit Roots, hence, concluded Yu Country produced no Spirit Root talents.
For nearly fifty years, no one was sent to Yu Country.
Since it was a Mortal World without sect presence, Si Lingle prepared to take a look.
In other Mortal Worlds, there were related sects overseeing them, preventing her from recruiting disciples.
Si Lingle piloted a Spirit Boat, navigating through layers of clouds, and after half a month, finally arrived in Yu Country.
Si Lingle went directly to Yu Country’s Imperial City, reaching the Imperial City.
She then met Yu Country’s Emperor, Yu Ruifeng, who was forty years old and overjoyed upon seeing Si Lingle.
Yu Ruifeng had always had a dream of Cultivation.
From his father’s mouth, he learned that Immortals exist in this world, but after waiting for decades without Immortals arriving in Yu Country, he began to suspect his father had deceived him.
But unexpectedly, Immortals truly exist.
After learning Si Lingle’s intentions, Yu Ruifeng agreed without hesitation.
Three days later, people under fifty from around the Imperial City can come to the Imperial City to have their Spirit Roots measured.
Fifty years old, with poor Spirit Root, within ten years, reaching Qi Cultivation is not a problem.
After cultivating to Qi Cultivation, life span will increase, and they can serve the sect.
Of course, at an older age, they surely have families, and Si Lingle can take their families to the Cultivation World for settlement.
Southwest of Hundred Battle Sect lies an expanse of desert where Si Lingle can establish a city.
At that time, these disciples’ families can reside there.
After ten days of measuring Spirit Roots, Si Lingle recruited twelve disciples with Spirit Roots, the best Spirit Root belonging to a five-year-old girl named Lu Qin’er with a Mutated Ice Spirit Root.
Two had Dual Spirit Roots: one was Yu Country’s Emperor, Yu Ruifeng, with Gold and Earth Dual Spirit Roots, and a young general named Tang Feng with Fire Wood Dual Spirit Roots.
There was one with Three Spirit Roots named Li Xiangxiang, who had Water, Earth, and Wood Three Spirit Roots.
The others had Mixed Spirit Roots.
Among royalty, besides Yu Ruifeng, his fifth daughter Yu Zhiyao also had Spirit Roots. Yu Zhiyao possessed Five Spirit Roots.
Yu Ruifeng passed the throne to the Crown Prince.
As for the Empress, she was unwilling to follow Yu Ruifeng to the Cultivation World, so she remained in the Mortal World.
Yu Zhiyao’s biological mother, Lady Lan, was willing to accompany them to the Cultivation World, so she followed along.
Among the other ten people, one was an orphan without starting a family.
The others all have families, and their families were willing to go to the Cultivation World.
Soon after, Si Lingle took the new disciples back to the Cultivation World.
Si Lingle also set up inner trials, wishing to observe the nature of the twelve individuals.
The twelve performed fairly well.
Lu Qin’er entered Changming True Monarch’s tutelage, being taught by Changming True Monarch.
Yu Ruifeng was accepted under Master Huai’an, while Tang Feng was accepted under Master Yumo.
Originally, Si Lingle wanted Yun Ya to accept Lu Qin’er, but Yun Ya expressed that he wanted to choose a disciple with whom he had a natural affinity.
Therefore, Si Lingle let Changming True Monarch accept Lu Qin’er.
Especially since Lu Qin’er possessed a Mutated Ice Spirit Root, she may be a future pillar of the sect.
