Gou Zai Liang Jie Dao Wen Cheng Xian

After leaving his family, Chu Xuan went to see his best friend Su Ming. These six people were the closest to him in the Federation.

However, compared to his family, he was much more relaxed around Su Ming. Su Ming also had a carefree personality and showed no restraint in front of Chu Xuan, unlike when facing a celestial master. The two quickly started chatting together.

Of course, it was a bit awkward since we hadn't seen each other for five years, but we were still the same age and quickly became familiar with each other after chatting for a while.

Through Su Ming, Chu Xuan also learned a lot about his high school classmates. Although they couldn't compare to him, their cultivation progress was quite good, and several of them had already broken through to the mid-stage of Body Refinement.

There is hope of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, but the chances are not very high. We'll have to wait and see how things develop.

Su Ming's current body refinement cultivation is still at the third level of body refinement, and he has reached the limit of the early stage of body refinement. He is only one step away from breaking through to the middle stage of body refinement.

If there were spiritual energy to assist him, even just one of those attribute-less spirit stones produced by the Xuanming Sect would be enough for Su Mingqing to break through to the next level.

But this is obviously impossible. The cultivation resources of the Immortal Abode cannot be passed on to outsiders. Only a few non-core cultivation resources can be passed on, such as the longevity pills that Chu Xuan brought to his family.

Even for longevity pills, the Federation has strict requirements. The Federation stipulates that a disciple of the Immortal Mansion can only exchange for ten longevity pills in his lifetime.

The purpose of the Federation in establishing the Immortal Abode is to concentrate the resources of the entire Federation to support cultivators. If a cultivator enters the Immortal Abode, he will bring a large amount of resources back home.

This goes against the original intention of establishing the Immortal Abode.

The cultivation resources of the Immortal Abode must not be leaked to outsiders, and even transactions are limited to the disciples of the Immortal Abode.

Even a single spirit stone must not be allowed to remain outside the Immortal Abode.

However, given human nature, it is permissible to bring some non-core cultivation resources home to support one's parents, but this resource is also limited.

The Federation's resources are already scarce, and they are not meant for the disciples of the Immortal Abode to bestow blessings upon their families.

This may sound a bit cold-hearted, but that's how things are in the Federation. The reason why the citizens of the Federation support the establishment of the Immortal Abode is that they hope to use every resource wisely.

If resources are leaked in large quantities, it would be extremely unfair to students who can score six or seven points.

Of course, this applies to ordinary Federation disciples. Chu Xuan possesses the resources of another world, which he can use to support his parents. These resources are not under the control of the Federation.

However, doing so requires a high status and strength, and Chu Xuan at the moment is just a nobody.

Providing resources from another world under the guise of a secret realm is ultimately a resource of the Federation. Giving away a large amount of resources at this time is not for the good of one's family, but rather courting death.

All I can offer right now are the resources that all the disciples of the Immortal Abode possess.

The ten longevity pills are the most crucial element inside.

According to the rules of the Immortal Abode, every disciple of the Immortal Abode can receive two longevity pills for free. As children, we must fulfill our filial duties, and these pills are prepared for our parents. Every disciple of the Immortal Abode is entitled to one.

As for the remaining eight, the first one is worth one contribution point, the second one is worth ten points, the third one is worth one hundred points, and so on, with each subsequent one becoming more expensive.

Ordinary disciples of the Immortal Abode can only exchange for six or seven, and they can't afford to exchange for more than that, nor is it necessary.

The old man is now seventy-five years old. With his ninth level of body refinement cultivation, he should be able to live to be over one hundred and ten. With the longevity pills I gave him, he should be able to live to be over one hundred and twenty.

Based on the calculation of 125, the old man can live for another 50 years.

Grandma is about the same age, seventy-three, but her cultivation level is only at the seventh level of Body Refinement, so she's probably around fifty years old as well.

Given their age, they certainly can't break through to the Foundation Establishment stage; they can only enjoy the rest of their lives.

Fifty years is enough. By then, I can use a higher-grade longevity pill to try and help the two elders live for another ten years.

As for my parents and older sister, they could try their luck at Foundation Establishment.

But that's a story for another time.

Getting back to the main point, Chu Xuan and Su Ming sat facing each other at the food stall.

After chatting for about an hour, Chu Xuan took out a porcelain bottle from his storage bag. "Old Su, this is a Nourishing Yuan Pill that I brought for you. It can heal internal injuries and indirectly help with cultivation."

"Old Chu, don't underestimate your brother."

"The resources of the Immortal Abode belong to the entire Federation. You are cultivating for the future of the Federation, and I cannot waste the Federation's resources." Su Ming waved his hand and refused.

"That being said, this is not a core cultivation resource, but rather falls into the category of ordinary spiritual objects, and can be given in small quantities to relatives and friends."

"As you should also know, when the Federation refines the third-grade pill, the Everlasting Life Pill, some of the essence of herbs and plants will be released. The high-quality ones can be condensed into the Longevity Pill, and the low-grade ones can be condensed into the Nourishing Essence Pill."

"These pills are useless to regular disciples of the Immortal Abode; they are only useful to disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage. They are a perk for Immortal Abode disciples."

"You've been sitting at the same table for so many years, this isn't some kind of longevity pill, just take it."

"Besides, it's not like I'm getting it for free. I need to cultivate in the Immortal Abode and explore the Secret Realm, so I'll rarely have a chance to go home. If you have time, how about you take me to see my parents during holidays?"

Upon hearing the last sentence, the hesitation in Su Ming's eyes completely disappeared, and he immediately replied, "Don't worry, Lao Chu, as long as I'm in Mingjiang City, I will definitely visit Uncle and Aunt during holidays."

"I'm relieved to hear that."

"Alright, it's time to return to the Immortal Abode. I hope that one day we can meet again there!"

"good!"

······

The Immortal Abode of the Locked Dragon Forbidden Land, the quiet room on the third floor of the cave.

Chu Xuan put down the manual in his hand and rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

The Federation's cultivation techniques are truly profound, far surpassing those of the Xuanming Sect. No wonder Elder Du and Elder Qian both looked down on the Xuanming Sect's techniques, saying they weren't even worth referencing.

This was the eighth day since Chu Xuan returned to the Immortal Abode. After seeing his relatives and friends whom he hadn't seen for five years, Chu Xuan devoted himself wholeheartedly to studying the Qi Refining Method and the Spirit Refining Method.

With the boost from the Awakening Jade, it took Chu Xuan a full eight days to barely finish reading through the two cultivation manuals.

That's right, it was just a simple review, and before he even officially started cultivating, it took Chu Xuan a full eight days, even with the help of the Awakening Jade.

This demonstrates the profound mystery of the Federation's heritage.

First, there's the Qi Refining Method, the Federation's Qi Refining Method. Ultimately, it shares similarities with the Xuanming Sect's Qi Induction Method, but only the most fundamental logic is the same: both use Dharma Seals to store the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Apart from that, the rest is completely different.

The Xuanming Sect's Qi Refining Method involves condensing a magic seal in the dantian to gather a vortex of magical power, thereby storing magical power. The Qi Absorption Technique that Chu Xuan obtained requires approximately twelve magic seals to achieve complete Qi Absorption.
