My Perfect Immortal Cultivation Life

Day 10 of beginner's journey.

At the Xuanban Sixth Academy, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their backs.

Because Li Yu didn't come to class today.

"I knew Li Yu couldn't possibly be a diligent cultivator; his behavior the other day was definitely an act! Today he finally couldn't keep up the act anymore!"

"Exactly, exactly. He doesn't seem to feel any urgency while cultivating; he's obviously some rich young master..."

With everyone chiming in, they quickly concluded that Li Yu was a spoiled brat. But they all deliberately forgot that during their cultivation a few days ago, apart from Zhou Ziyu, no one had been able to persist for longer than Li Yu.

No one could even match Li Yu's cultivation time. About half an hour before Li Yu finished cultivating, almost everyone had left.

Zhou Ziyu was different from the others; she knew just how ruthless Li Yu could be when he cultivated. The opinions of those around him regarding Li Yu were merely wishful thinking and misunderstandings.

"Li Yu, I don't know what you did today... but I must work hard in my cultivation, and this opportunity for advancement will definitely be mine."

……

Dao Yi Sect, Wan Qi Peak.

Li Yu arrived here via a teleportation array. Wanqi Peak is a key location for storing magical artifacts within the sect. Starting from the foot of the mountain, one can see from the main road that all sorts of magical artifacts are planted on both sides.

Swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, as well as array pivots, medicine cauldrons, Taoist robes, and so on. All sorts of magical artifacts have appeared.

Li Yu strode towards the outer hall at the foot of Wanqi Peak.

A deacon in charge of registration sat quietly there. When he saw Li Yu arrive, he beckoned him over.

"Are you the disciple Qiu Xu introduced?" The steward was a beautiful woman in her thirties, the kind who wasn't stunning at first glance, but grew more attractive the more you looked at her.

Thirty years old is considered half-middle age in the mortal world, but still considered young in the cultivation world.

Li Yu clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "Senior Sister Jiang Shu, your disciple is Li Yu."

When Jiang Shu heard Li Yu call her "senior sister," she was both amused and annoyed: "Qiu Xu told me that you're good with words. But I can't stand you calling me 'senior sister.'"

Jiang Shu glared at Li Yu, but there was no sense of reproach in her eyes. It was more like teasing: "Others may not know your background, but do you think I don't? In the entire Dao Yi Sect, the only one you can call 'Senior Sister' is our Saintess Qin."

I wouldn't dare mess with that woman.

Li Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

According to seniority, Li Yu's disciples should actually call Jiang Shu "Shishu" (a term of respect for one's senior uncle). However, since Jiang Shu, Qiu Xu, and others are of the same generation as Qin Shufan, and Li Yu is Qin Shufan's junior brother from the same peak, they just call him that haphazardly.

Jiang Shu said, "Are you sure you want to go to Wanqi Peak to find your natal magic weapon when you're still in the first realm? Even if you're familiar with Qiu Xu, you can't skimp on the 100 contribution points fee each time."

Li Yu said confidently, "What I lack now is a suitable magic weapon. As you know, I cultivate the Dao of Arrays. If I can find a good array core sooner, my cultivation will be faster."

"You're right, and entering at the first level does offer some advantages. If you break through to the second level, you'll need an entry fee of 200 contribution points."

Jiang Shu stopped trying to dissuade her, but simply asked, "Have you remembered all the rules?"

"Go up the main road from the foot of the mountain. You can choose any magical artifacts along the way, but you cannot turn back. You can only take one item with you."

Jiang Shu nodded: "And you must remember, low-level magic artifacts don't matter. But if it's a magic artifact of Earth grade or higher, then it already contains some artifact spirit."

At that point, it's not you choosing the magical artifacts, but rather the artifacts and you choosing each other. Don't force it, otherwise you might not be able to bring any artifacts with you. Remember that?

"Your disciple will remember this."

Jiang Shu smiled gently. Because she was familiar with Qiu Xu, she looked at Li Yu as if he were her own disciple.

"Go early and come back early, don't force yourself."

As Li Yu walked into the mountains, a figure appeared beside Jiang Shu—it was Qiu Xu.

Jiang Shu said with dissatisfaction, "If Li Yu hadn't asked you for a favor, were you planning to never come to see me again?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xu staggered, unsure of what to say, and could only laugh awkwardly twice.

Jiang Shu didn't bother to delve into the matter: "How many levels do you think Li Yu can reach?"

Qiu Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "The spiritual pressure of Wanqi Peak changes according to the cultivation level. Although Li Yu is only at the C level of the initial cultivation, the longer I spend with him, the more I feel that his character is extraordinary."

"An extraordinary character? In what way?"

Qiu Xu said, "At first, I thought that Li Yu, being Qin Shufan's junior brother, should have some arrogance. Some geniuses look down on ordinary inner disciples like us who have become stewards."

Jiang Shudao said, "Of course. Which of those true disciples has ever even glanced at us?"

"But Li Yu is different. He is Qin Shufan's junior brother. Even if his cultivation is poor in the future, it will be easy for him to become a true disciple. But Li Yu has never shown any sense of superiority."

On the contrary, I often felt that he deliberately concealed his brilliance.

"Like that time at Zuixianlou? I heard you also met the adorable Lingyin. What did you think? Was she pretty?"

"Ah...ah, this..." Qiu Xu didn't know how to respond, so he turned his back, made a hand seal, and disappeared in a flash.

……

Wanqi Peak - at the foot of the mountain.

Li Yu embarked on the main trial path in the mountains.

【Buzz】

[Detected, achievement "Flawed Artifact" can be unlocked]

Unlock condition: Players must obtain a flawed, top-grade magic weapon in the Wanqi Peak Trial.

Achievement Reward: 1 Random Attribute Point

An achievement notification popped into his mind.

"A damaged magical artifact? Or a superior one?"

Li Yu felt a bit overwhelmed.

He came here today only to find a Class 1 array core.

Li Yu looked up and saw the mountain peaks before him soaring into the clouds, resembling an inverted sword stuck in the ground. This was the famous Wanqi Peak of the Dao Yi Sect.

For thousands of years, countless disciples and elders have left their natal magical artifacts on Ten Thousand Artifacts Peak before their deaths. Over time, the exact number of magical artifacts on this peak has become uncountable.

This is one of the great strengths of Dao Yi Sect as the orthodox lineage of immortals.

Wanqi Peak was artificially divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine grades of magical artifacts.

Ninth-grade magic artifacts are specifically crafted for cultivators in the first realm and are located on the ninth level at the bottom. Eighth-grade magic artifacts are recommended for cultivators in the second realm and are located on the second-to-last level, and so on.

And each floor is different.

Magical artifacts are further divided into four grades: Super Grade, Heaven Grade, Earth Grade, Mysterious Grade, and Yellow Grade. The better the quality of the magical artifact, the higher its position in each grade.

As for the super-grade magic weapon mentioned in the mission, it is slightly different.

Only great cultivators at the eighth realm or above are qualified to forge super-grade magical artifacts, making them priceless.
