Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

For the immortals and gods of the Golden Mountain Sect, the greatest value of the Golden Cave Sect lay with Fairy Zhenyi, and they did not care whether the Golden Cave Sect was willing to become a vassal of the Golden Mountain Sect.

After all, if the Golden Mountain Sect fails to cultivate a Celestial Lord, having another vassal sect would only be a burden.

If the Golden Mountain Sect were to cultivate an Immortal Lord, even if many other sects specializing in metal cultivation were unwilling, they would legally become subordinate to the Golden Mountain Sect.

As a result, neither the Golden Flame Divine General nor the Golden Glow Immortal General had high demands on the Golden Cave Sect. In fact, after agreeing to Fairy Zhenyi's request, they even offered her many preferential treatments.

First, because of the ancient array, the Golden Cave Sect cannot have any physical communication with the outside world. The Golden Mountain Sect will provide certain resources to strongly support the reconstruction of the Golden Cave Sect.

Secondly, in order to promote exchanges between the two sects, the Jinshan Sect even gives out the quotas for entering blessed lands without hesitation, with three quotas for medium-grade blessed lands and six quotas for low-grade blessed lands.

Finally, the Golden Mountain Sect will assist the Golden Flame God in continuing to protect the Golden Cave Sect to prevent the Undying Demon Lord from escaping while the ancient formation of the White Rock Mountains is damaged...

At present, the reconstruction of the Jinku Sect can begin immediately, and the site has been directly selected in Jushan. The Qiu family, who originally lived in Jushan, were not only not unhappy, but were also very excited.

It should be noted that the original site of the Jinku Sect is north of Jushan Mountain. The reason why the Qiu family was able to survive in the Baiyan Mountains is because they were an affiliated force of the Jinku Sect in ancient times.

Just like the Jin family in Mo Linglong's previous life relied on the Jinshan Sect, sometimes there is not much of a gap between the Xuanmen and the aristocratic families. Some maintain their family businesses nearby, while others are scattered in various places for the sake of the sect's businesses.

Back then, the Golden Cave Sect was suddenly invaded by the Undying Demon Lord, and a considerable number of its disciples were still in other places, so many of them continued the lineage in the present world.

The Qiu family was the most powerful among them, and their ancestor was still alive, being one of the two Xuanxian masters of the Golden Cave Sect.

Back when Su Ji first met the Qiu family, he had already been puzzled by this family of cultivators. After all, even the Ren family in Jinfeng County only had two high-level cultivators, while the Qiu family, which had three high-level cultivators, was located in Jushan, Jiuxiang County.

Only then did they realize that the Jushan area was the root of the Qiu family, and they lived here so that one day they could welcome the resurgence of the Golden Cave Sect!

Now that the Golden Cave Sect is about to be rebuilt, the Qiu family is no longer a leisurely family of cultivators, but the largest affiliated force of the Golden Cave Sect. Their prestige and reputation have greatly increased, which is even more gratifying than the ancestral graves emitting auspicious smoke.

"With the help of the Qiu family and others, the reconstruction of the Golden Cave Sect is much simpler..."

Although Su Ji became the vice sect leader of the Golden Cave Sect and was responsible for many affairs of the Golden Cave Sect in the present world, he still preferred to spend his time on cultivation. With the help of the Golden Cave Sect's vassal forces such as the Qiu family, it was much more convenient than him mobilizing the non-local East-West Chamber of Commerce.

Coincidentally, more than a year ago, the Qiu family had partnered with the East-West Chamber of Commerce to establish the Jiuxiang County Brick Kiln. With these industries as a foundation, the manpower and resources needed to build the Jinkuzong were fully met.

Therefore, after receiving the promises of the two immortals, Su Ji held another meeting with the Qiu family.

At this time, the old woman of the Qiu family had been injured in the last battle against the evil spirits in the new spiritual realm and had retired to the second line. The second elder of the Qiu family was leading people to serve the immortal master in the blessed land. The one who truly led the Qiu family was Sanqiu Jun, who had first become acquainted with Su Ji because of the Earth Yang Chrysanthemum.

Sanqiu Jun, a high-level cultivator at the Dongxuan realm, is neither the strongest nor the most talented in the Qiu family, but he is the most shrewd and has the most friends.

Sanqiu-jun has great confidence in rebuilding the Golden Cave Sect and is even preparing to invite friends from all sides to come and help.

Although Su Ji did not want to dampen Sanqiu Jun's enthusiasm, he still reminded him: "Currently, due to the ancient formation in the Baiyan Mountains, it will be some time before the Jinku Sect truly appears in the world, and the reconstruction of the sect will not be accomplished overnight."

"The layout and structure of the sect will be provided by the sect leader, Fairy Zhenyi, and the immortal master. They should send the second elder of the Qiu family to deliver it soon."

"The construction of the sect cannot be done carelessly. In addition to the bricks produced by the brick kiln, we also need to quarry rocks, fell ancient trees, and even set up a protective array. The core part must be mainly composed of trustworthy cultivators. In addition to the Golden Mountain Sect sending many cultivators, I will also go to the Dragon Mountain Sect to invite array masters to help..."

"Although the sect is not yet fully established, as long as you reach the Ghost King or High Cultivation realm, you will be able to become an elder of the Golden Cave Sect after being received by the sect leader. As for those disciples whose cultivation realm is not high enough, they will also have the opportunity to receive the treatment of Golden Cave Sect disciples!"

Generally speaking, not everyone can become a disciple of the Xuanmen sect. Even among the Jin family members from Mo Linglong's previous life, only a small portion became disciples of the Jinshan Sect.

Besides the differences in the talents, aptitudes, and abilities of cultivators, this is also related to the treatment of Xuanmen disciples. If there are too many disciples, even if the Xuanmen has blessed lands and caves, it will be difficult to afford them, so they try to be as refined as possible.

In an instant, the cultivation families who had been holding fast to Jushan and its surrounding areas were "boiling over". Compared to a well-established Xuanmen, the newly established Xuanmen, such as the Jinku Sect, not only had many opportunities, but also gained extremely high qualifications in the process of participating in its construction.

If one gains the favor of the sect leader or deputy sect leader, one can even receive a large amount of resources, making it not a big problem to cultivate to a high level, and one may even become a Dao Seed of the Golden Cave Sect!

Just like the Xuanxian disciples of Jinshan Sect and the Dao Seed Longteng of Longshan Sect, as long as one performs exceptionally well, one may receive personal instruction from a Xuanxian and comprehend the profound principles within the Xuanxian Dao Fruit.

If a Xuanxian dies without reincarnation, these Dao Seeds may become the next Xuanxian. If a Xuanxian successfully reincarnates, these Dao Seeds are not without the opportunity to become Xuanxian as well.

Leaving aside the True Spirit Fairy Zhenyi, the Immortal Lord, there is a big problem. Once he dies, he may lose the opportunity to be reincarnated because of the blessed land of the Dao-Merging Cave. Therefore, the cultivation of the next Immortal is especially important.

As for Fairy Zhenyi's disciples, no one wanted to be one. To survive the longevity of a true immortal, one had to endure a great calamity. If Fairy Zhenyi herself had to face the calamity, what chance did her disciples have of surviving?
Furthermore, many Xuanxian (mystical immortals) are unwilling to accept disciples, as a bad one could potentially cultivate a villain who covets the Xuanxian Dao Fruit. Most Xuanxian only accept disciples according to the requirements of their sects.

I was so busy that I lost track of time, and half a month passed in no time.

Through successive sacrifices within the blessed land of the Golden Cave Sect, three minor Dao Fruits of Heaven and Earth were finally cultivated.

The essence of the unicorn bull was sacrificed at the place where the six earth demon giants died. This place is not far from the southern exit and belongs to the earth attribute. Fairy Zhenyi gave the small world Dao fruit to a jade elder she favored for refinement.
The Three-Eyed Demon King's original essence was offered below the White Mist Rift Valley, where the environment was unique. The small world Dao Fruit was given by Fairy Zhenyi to the leader of the Jade People Clan for refinement.

The Blood Crystal, the essence of the Mountain Demon King, was sacrificed at the place where the evil immortal Zixiu was subdued near the North Sea. This place, close to the North Sea, was given to the guardian elder of the East Sea clan, who was half-human and half-fish.
This move may seem somewhat unbalanced, even using up Su Ji's original essence, but in reality, it was all carefully considered.

It should be noted that, in addition to the three new Lesser Heaven and Earth Dao Fruits, two more Lesser Heaven and Earth Dao Fruits will be condensed after the deaths of the Evil Immortal Child and the Wolf Clan Lesser Immortal.

The deaths of the two minor immortals both occurred outside the Daoist temple, which meant that their Daoist attainments were not damaged and may manifest in just a few months.

At this time, the blessed lands and grotto-heavens were already under unified control. The manifested small world Dao fruits were not private property, but public property of the Golden Cave Sect. One of them would definitely be given to the East Sea Clan, while the last one was yet to be determined.

Ultimately, one of the original items was donated by Su Ji, and the weight of the last Small Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit was more biased towards Su Ji.

However, Su Ji did not have anyone he considered at the moment.

He had many cultivators around him, but none of them had any connection with the Golden Cave Sect.

The people of Dongsang Village had an even deeper connection with Zhang Xiaolian, having long been "recorded" in her real dreams and transformed into divine statues within the Blood Moon Space. If Yan Tianchou's avatar were to refine the Small World Dao Fruit again, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from other cultivators… so it was best to postpone it for now.

As soon as the New Year was over, Jushan became lively again. Taking advantage of the time before spring plowing, the construction of the Jinkuzong Mountain Gate was in full swing.

After observing for several days, Su Ji discovered that besides Sanqiu Jun, Qiu Yue, a member of the younger generation of the Qiu family, was also very capable. He then confidently entrusted the matter to the Qiu family.

Because Fairy Zhenyi was of great importance, even the Golden Mountain Sect dared not let her take any risks, so they simply sent a Mystic Immortal who cultivated the [Xin Jin] Minor Dao Fruit to come and exchange ideas.

Su Ji, however, had few worries. He followed Jin Yan Lingjun directly to Jinshan Sect. Besides discussing some cooperation matters, they also used the blessed land quota provided by Jinshan Sect for cultivation.

Along the way, in addition to the Jinshan Sect Master personally welcoming them, there were also many Jinshan Sect disciples and personnel from affiliated forces watching, giving Jinku Sect a lot of face.

Compared to the Dragon Palace of the Taibai Dragon Clan, the mountain gate of the Jinshan Sect, though more magnificent, was not as opulent as it appeared; instead, it exuded a simple and grand atmosphere.

"The Golden Mountain Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a long-standing and prestigious sect of the Xuanmen!"

Before its completion, the Jinku Sect's mountain gate was even considered a dilapidated establishment; the Jinshan Sect, on the other hand, was the most prosperous and powerful sect in Lunzhou, making them incomparable.

After going through the formalities, the two sides sat down to discuss the two collaborations.

Su Ji did not come alone this time. In addition to the old woman of the Qiu family, an elder of the Golden Cave Sect, there was also Yu Baichuan, the guard of the south gate of White Tiger City, and others. Not to mention that Su Ji also had the Yantian Plan. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Not to mention, the Golden Cave Sect elder who was in contact with Su Ji was none other than Mo Linglong's grandniece from her previous life.

When the Golden Cave Sect sent people to see Mo Linglong, Elder Jin took out his family's token. Later, when exploring the Golden Cave Sect's blessed land, Elder Jin also led his team to help refine the Linglong Immortal Furnace... The two sides can be considered old acquaintances.

Therefore, Su Ji directly handed the matter over to his left and right deputies, Old Woman Qiu and Bai Chuan of White Tiger City, and then entered the Jinshan Sect's primary blessed land with Mo Linglong.

Indeed, Su Ji did not come to Jinshan Sect alone this time; he brought Mo Linglong with him.

The Golden Mountain Sect held this reincarnation of the sect's Supreme Elder in great awe. Not to mention entering a primary-level blessed land, even entering a secondary-level blessed land was just a matter of a word for them.

However, the situation of Jinshan Sect and Jinku Sect is different. Even though this primary blessed land was opened to Su Ji, there is still only a fixed route to take.

It's not that the Golden Mountain Sect has too many rules, but rather that most of the resources here have already been allocated. If you wander around recklessly, even if you don't disturb some cultivators who are in seclusion, you might still trigger some arrangements.

Su Ji could understand. Just like the current Golden Cave Sect's blessed land, it might not be so particular internally, but once outside cultivators enter, they would need to follow the rules, otherwise everything could fall into chaos.

"Fellow Daoist Golden Toad, if you finish your cultivation first, you don't need to worry about me. You can go to the next wonderful place on your own!"

On her way here, Mo Linglong gave a brief introduction to this rudimentary blessed land, mentioning it in advance so as not to interfere with Su Ji's cultivation.

Su Ji understood, then looked at the Jinshan Sect members accompanying him: "With these Jinshan Sect disciples here, we won't get lost. Perhaps Fellow Daoist Mo will have finished his cultivation by then, but I won't be done yet!"

Mo Linglong herself possessed the legacy of the Xuanxian Dao Fruit from her previous life, so even if she wanted to pursue the path of puppetry, it wouldn't affect her speed of comprehending the profound principles of metal.

As Su Ji had suspected, his speed in comprehending profound principles was nowhere near that of Mo Linglong, not to mention that she had also explored a wide range of subjects, including the wondrous lands of earth and water.

Mo Linglong's wait was not in vain; during this time, she even went to cultivate in a medium-sized blessed land of the Golden Mountain Sect.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Thanks to the nourishment and recovery of Fairy Zhenyi's Longevity Dew, Su Ji's Heavenly Soul Avatar managed to hold on.

By the end of January, Su Ji saw that the Taibai Dragon Clan's [Autumn Cold Wonderland] was about to open, so he decided to go back.

So, after waiting for Mo Linglong for another day, Su Ji returned that evening amidst farewells from the Jinshan Sect cultivators.

Jinshan Sect is located in the northwest of Lunzhou, about two hundred miles away from Jushan, which is why Su Ji wanted to travel with Mo Linglong.

Along the way, Su Ji didn't sit idle either, discussing with Mo Linglong what he had gained from his cultivation during this period.

Compared to Mo Linglong, Su Ji clearly gained more.

With the verification of the blessed lands of the Golden Cave Sect and the first-class blessed lands of the Golden Mountain Sect, Su Ji made great progress in the study of deviated lands and deviated waters. In addition, with the breakthrough in metal-attribute mystical arts, he finally cultivated three new high-grade mystical arts.

Water naturally possesses the ability to refract and reflect, and Su Ji used this as a basis to cultivate the superior-grade mystical technique [Mirror Flower Water Moon].

Earth element is the foundation upon which the Five Elements are built. Su Ji used this to cultivate a superior-grade mystical technique called "Earth Qi Transformation into Dragon".

Metal is the foundation of the Golden Mountain Sect and the Golden Cave Sect. Whether it was the White Tiger Immortal Weapon or the White Tiger Divine Pillar that Su Ji came into contact with, they all belonged to this path. Su Ji comprehended a high-grade profound technique called the White Tiger Golden Body based on this.

At this point, Su Ji had integrated the seven attributes of Yin and Yang, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, and Metal into the Way of Deflection. Among them, Wind and Fire were even fused together, which even gave Su Ji the power of a powerful immortal weapon.

However, as Su Ji cultivated more and more attributes, he also discovered some problems.

For example, the reason why the wind and fire attributes could be fused was not only because they accidentally comprehended the remaining essence of the Immortal Demon King after his death, but also because the wind attribute does not belong to the five elements...

Moreover, Su Ji increasingly felt the difficulty of cultivating at least nine minor Dao Fruits, refining three intermediate Dao Fruits, and condensing one major Dao Fruit in one go.

Other paths, such as the minor, intermediate, and major paths, all have traceable paths to attain, but Su Ji's unorthodox path involves all aspects.

If we must categorize them, we can only discuss them from the perspectives of the Five Elements, the Four Symbols, Yin and Yang, and Qian and Kun. The Five Elements and the Four Symbols are relatively easy to discuss, but Yin and Yang can be considered the mother of the Four Symbols. If we want to gather the three Middle Dao Fruits, the Dao of Qian and Kun is indispensable.

Currently, Su Ji is only on the path of refining all things through the method of deviation. Even cultivating the high-grade earth-attribute profound arts that he has been in contact with is so difficult, let alone the heaven-attribute which he has hardly had any contact with! (End of this chapter)
