Born with immortal seed

Chapter 919 Changes in the Green Maple Sect
With the largest passage between Xuanzhou and Beihai, Qingfeng Sect is so rich in resources that it's overflowing.

A single piece of the unique Ice Silk Water Essence from the North Sea can easily be exchanged for three Core Formation Spiritual Items in Zuzhou.

Outside Song Ding's dojo, these objects were piled up like mountains, and tens of thousands of them were washed away by the swirling water every moment.

Even with full-scale mining, it might take hundreds of years to dig down one layer.

The Frost Whale Saliva Incense, which drives away inner demons, can be obtained by the Qingfeng Sect in a single hunt, yielding hundreds of catties, and is sold by the pound.

The Kunming Scales, which strengthen bones and refine blood, are piled up in the warehouse in the millions, more than everyone could use for body tempering.

This is just the tip of the iceberg; intercontinental trade has rendered the traditional profits from the sect's few territories insignificant.

No wonder so many people in the cultivation world are envious, and there are undercurrents and people are trying to trip them up in every way.

Even after years of significant expansion, the number of disciples in the Qingfeng Sect is still relatively small compared to other top sects.

Such astonishing profits are something a disciple could easily afford even if it were doubled.

The Foundation Building Pill level is accessible to everyone, once you get started.

No longer do we have to go through brutal battles and fierce competition to become one of the lucky ones.

Therefore, Qi Wei could leisurely cultivate his skills while refining spiritual energy.

The tedious sect missions of the past have long been abandoned, and they are only brought out when there is a need to make a show of things, such as today.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​who is here today? Why does everyone have to be here? My Hundred-Refined Jade-Eyed Toad is halfway through its refining process and is at a critical moment."

Qi Wei put on a formal robe, kept his eyes straight ahead, and communicated telepathically with the cultivators beside him.

"Bai Jiabaoshu, the most powerful one in recent years... It is said that the sect is going to build the largest warship in history, but there are different voices in the elders' council. I wonder if they have come to discuss this matter with the hall master."

This Senior Brother Tian has striking features and is already in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

As the Qingfeng Sect grew from a small, remote sect into a renowned sect, the sect underwent numerous changes.

The hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, the rules of seniority, and the power of habit began to form a system.

In the past, it was rare for someone to be promoted to a higher generation immediately after a single promotion.

Senior Brother Tian successfully established his foundation ahead of Qi Wei, but he still addressed Qi Wei as an equal.

Those who enter the sect or study under the same master in the same batch will generally not have their seniority confused.

If you have good aptitude, you can cultivate quickly and reach a higher realm, which will allow you to obtain more resources and greater power.

However, they cannot rise from a junior to an elder.

Within the sect, anyone who uses such a title is considered a sycophant seeking advancement and is looked down upon by everyone.

"That Bai Zhenchu? I've heard he's one of the most orthodox descendants of the Ancestor of Time, and a hot candidate for the next Seventh Palace."

Qi Wei got excited; he had heard of Bai Xinzhang's great name even before he joined the sect.

Born into nobility, he was unrestrained and dissolute, fond of sensual pleasures, exotic animals, and curious about ingenious skills.

He was mediocre in his youth, but not long after he reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he suddenly had a breakthrough, mastered sword techniques without a teacher, and his cultivation progressed naturally.

In less than a century, he had already reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.

If a disciple of the Qingfeng Sect wants to receive sponsorship from the sect, he must first be nominated by one of the thirteen halls, and then discussed by the seven halls. The disciple with the most votes will receive full support and training.

No matter how many spirit stones are spent, we will support you in full until you fail to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

This process is called ascension.

This practice only became established after the Song Dynasty patriarch founded the Beihai Palace, creating a seven-palace layout.

Every thirty years, the period surrounding the selection of these quotas becomes the focus of attention for the entire sect.

Of course, disciples who have enough opportunities or are blessed by elders do not need to compete for this spot and can complete the Nascent Soul Transformation Path on their own.

"Not necessarily. Apart from the Enforcement Hall, which will vote 100%, the other six halls each have their own preferred candidates... After all, Bai Zhenchuan is still relatively inexperienced, and the elders think it's fine for him to wait another thirty years."

Because the Ancestor of Time came from the Hall of Law Enforcement, as long as his descendants appear, the voting outcome is a foregone conclusion.

The previous candidates, who were of average talent, all applied; there's no reason why a true genius like Bai Xinzhang should miss out.

Just as the two were arguing heatedly, a sword light fell in front of the Hall of Transmission, and a dashing young nobleman stepped out.

"Elder Yin, I have successfully completed my mission in the North Sea as ordered by the Sect Leader... Here is the evaluation manual for the disciples of the North Sea Palace, which I will bring back with me."

Compared to Bai Xinzhang in Montenegro, he was less cynical and much more composed.

Beihai Palace is too far from the main mountain, and its formation is also special. When Ancestor Song Ding was alive, it could almost be considered a country within a country.

No other palace could compare in terms of power and independence.

It wasn't until Ancestor Song Ding ascended to heaven that the sect gradually reclaimed its power and incorporated the North Sea Palace into the structure of the Seven Palaces and Thirteen Halls.

However, the North Sea Palace still has a high degree of autonomy in many aspects. For example, the number of true disciples is independent of the main branch and is decided by itself.

"All five disciples have reached the peak of Core Formation. The North Sea Palace certainly has something to teach its disciples..."

Elder Yin of the Transmission Hall read the manual, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

In order to consolidate the Qingfeng Sect's dominance in Xuanzhou and Beihai, Song Ding took in seven disciples in the area.

Except for one who was truly recognized for his swordsmanship talent and was to inherit the mantle, the rest were all scions of local powerful families.

Five out of the seven became Nascent Soul True Monarchs, an astonishingly high success rate.

In addition to having ample resources for cultivation, Song Ding's ability to educate people is also inherited from the Ancestor of Time, and he can turn stones into gold.

Judging from the performance of the younger generation, they are also better than Benshan.

"I have another matter to discuss here. Elder Luo of the North Sea Palace said that they have discovered that the crack in the barrier between the North Sea Palace and Yan Continent has inexplicably widened. If a Nascent Soul level being were to exert all their power, it could be broken within a few decades."

Bai Xinzhang had no interest in the conflict and differences between the headquarters and the Beihai Palace, as he was highly respected by both sides due to his status.

He was even closer to several elders of the North Sea Palace, all of whom were direct descendants of the Ancestor of Time.

The two disciples of the Bai family's patriarch in the main branch have switched to the Ghost Path and are hiding in the Dark Domain, indifferent to worldly affairs. They have not shown their faces for many years.

Song Ding's seventh disciple, Luo Changchun, stated that if Bai Xinzhang failed to secure the Nascent Soul resources at Lankeshan, the Beihai Palace would not allow the descendants of the Time Ancestor to miss the opportunity and would directly offer him a share.

"Elder Luo means that he hopes the headquarters can send people to jointly explore the end of the North Sea, since this is very different from the judgment made by Ancestor Song before his ascension. If it is really a good opportunity, we cannot miss it, lest other sects take the lead."

"But the sect leader believes that the situation in Zuzhou is unpredictable and could change drastically, so it is not advisable to disperse our forces... What is your opinion?"

"Does Xin Zhang think we should invest resources in Beihai?"

Elder Yin picked up his teacup and took a slow, deliberate sip.

He felt a bit annoyed. True disciples were only lower-ranking than elders. When had they ever had a say in such strategic directions of the sect?

If it weren't for his status as a descendant of the Time Ancestor, he would have coldly dismissed him long ago.

"That's for sure. Just look at Xuanzhou and Beihai to see how much profit can be made by leading the development of a closed continent!"

Bai Xinzhang's voice was high-pitched, pulling the lost continent back into the mainstream cultivation world; it was a path to heaven.

If successful, as one of the earliest participants, even if it doesn't restore the glory of our ancestors, it will at least support him in his attempt to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Judging from the transformation of Bai's direct descendants into immortals, their ancestor must have been an extraordinary figure in the upper realm, which is why this transformation was reflected in their bloodline.

Bai Xinzhang's greatest pursuit was simply to ascend to immortality and live a carefree life as a second-generation immortal.

"This is just one opinion from the North Sea side. Ancestor Song said that it would take him a thousand years to break through the passage... If it doesn't go as smoothly as expected, the headquarters will be left empty for a long time. How can we maintain the hard-won situation we have now?"

Elder Yin seemed to regard Song Ding's words as gospel, but in reality, it was because Yanzhou was too far away and the headquarters could not control it.

Even if it is successfully developed, the biggest slice of the pie will still go to the Beihai Palace.

Therefore, there is no need to take such a big risk again.

"It's better to just send a few True Lords first, without having to mobilize a large army, to find out the cause before deciding on the next step, than to leave it untouched."

Bai Xinzhang is still working hard. Elder Yin is the most senior in the Transmission Hall. Persuading him is equivalent to persuading several elders.

“New chapter, now that the ancestor is no longer in charge... The past thousand years were the most glorious years of our sect, but we also offended many people, so we can no longer act as we did in the past.”

Elder Yin abruptly changed the subject, clearly not wanting to discuss it any further.

"In two months, Fairy Xiao of the Taiping Sect will bring a group of disciples to Lankeshan for an exchange on talisman techniques. The Transmission Hall and the Talisman Hall will jointly receive them. Remember to come and greet them together to show your respect."

"Yes……"

Bai Xinzhang's lips twitched, and he reluctantly agreed.

Stripped of his identity as a descendant of the Ancestor of Time, how could a true disciple in the mid-stage of Core Formation be qualified to argue with an elder with real power?

The Qingfeng Sect is no longer the unknown small sect it once was in the Black Mountain of the Northern Region. Now, everyone is united and willing to make sacrifices.

Before anyone knew it, it had become a behemoth, and many factions had sprung up inside.

……

"So you are the Sword Lord of Time. I knew there was no Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator I hadn't seen in the cultivation world."

The old lion emerged from the light curtain, surrounded by countless rays of light around its gray-white fur, forming a body more than a hundred times larger.

"Now that you have ascended, how did you return to the mortal realm? I am very curious."

"The passage to the mortal realm has existed since ancient times... But you, sir, have hidden yourself very well. I thought the two demons, the white ape and the colorful phoenix, came suddenly and disappeared completely, and I only thought that they were backed by a phoenix demon lord. I didn't expect there to be an even higher mountain."

The young man in purple neither denied nor admitted it, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the two women dressed in magnificent phoenix robes.

His face is the only difference between him and Bai Zichen in terms of temperament and age.

If the memory is vivid, you will definitely be able to recall it.

Based on the clues he had gathered in the past and the location he was in, he quickly determined that the younger one behind the old lion was the fourth-tier Rainbow Phoenix who had ambushed him.

In the long river of time, I also saw that after advancing to the fifth level, he attempted to attack Rotten Axe Mountain, but was defeated and fled by Ge Cang.

Unexpectedly, they had a Lion King at the peak of the fifth rank as their backer. The Azure Maple Sect was truly on the verge of collapse back then.

If this person intervenes in the war between humans and transgender people, the initial situation will undoubtedly be one-sided.
