You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"I know!" Chen Huai'an said with a smile.

In short, high returns naturally come with high risks. If there were no danger, how could such generous rewards be offered?

"You know nothing. You must have just broken through to the Qi Refining Realm and become an outer disciple. Some things are good, but you have to be alive to enjoy them." The outer disciple cursed loudly after hearing Chen Huai'an's words.

Chen Huai'an understood the implication in the other person's words: it was for his own good, but he had reasons why he had to go.

Staying within the sect would certainly be safe, but he wouldn't be able to convert his cultivation resources into cash. Furthermore, once the Qingyun Sect and the Yinsha Sect went to war, they wouldn't be able to remain unaffected and would inevitably clash with each other.

Without a few powerful spells and supernatural abilities, one simply cannot withstand the attack. In this chaotic world, having more supernatural abilities means having a greater chance of defeating the enemy.

With great chaos looming, Chen Huai'an wasn't thinking about achieving immortality; instead, he was considering how to improve his cultivation level and survive in this chaotic world.

Before he even thought about it, Chen Huai'an felt a sudden surge of crisis.

"Senior brother is right. Everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation. When the sect is in trouble, as disciples of the sect, we naturally cannot stand idly by," Chen Huai'an said with a smile. He knew why this person was so fierce to him, but he had a reason to go.

For us cultivators, cultivation is like going against the heavens; if we don't advance, we fall behind. Without an upward-striving heart, how can we go against the heavens?

"The rise and fall of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. This saying is well said. Indeed, now that the sect is in trouble, it is up to us cultivators to step forward." The disciple in charge of registration gave Chen Huai'an a thumbs up.

Unfortunately, few of these outer disciples had the same level of awareness as Chen Huai'an; they were completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"According to the sect rules, as an outer disciple at the early stage of Qi Refining, you are not qualified to volunteer for battle. I respect your choice and will register you. Once the team sets off, I will arrange for you to join a relatively safe team."

Through the conversation, Chen Huai'an realized the seriousness of the matter, but since he had made a choice, he naturally wouldn't regret it.

The situation is serious. These outer disciples will definitely be the first to be thrown into the battlefield. However, in order to preserve their strength, the sect will send those disciples with slightly less talent and aptitude to the front line, leaving only those disciples with good talent and aptitude as the seeds of hope, because these disciples will be the future hope of the sect.

It's quite possible that Chen Huai'an's worries are unfounded, but that doesn't mean such a thing won't happen. Therefore, Chen Huai'an will definitely seize any opportunity to improve his strength.

"You have successfully registered. One thousand sect contribution points have been issued to your identity token. With this token, you can go to the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion to select a cultivation technique." The outer disciple quickly completed the registration procedures for Chen Huai'an.

Chen Huai'an also knew that time was of the essence and he could not stay here any longer. He had to get to the Sutra Repository as soon as possible.

The Scripture Pavilion of Qingyun Sect is more magnificent and imposing than the Library Pavilion of Zayi Peak, with a total of nine floors.

This is the important site for the inheritance of the Qingyun Sect, located on the main peak of the Qingyun Sect, Qingyun Peak.

Chen Huai'an was able to enter after passing three layers of identity verification using his waist tag.

The first floor of the Sutra Repository is very large, several times the size of the first floor of the Library, and contains a large collection of books.

The first layer records cultivation techniques and spells suitable for disciples at the Qi Refining Realm.

Chen Huai'an entered and found the jade slips inside to be dazzling. The first floor had several areas, which made very detailed plans based on the cultivation method you were practicing and the profession you were going to pursue.

For example, he would systematically provide cultivation techniques for professions such as weapon refiner, talisman maker, spirit plant master, alchemist, and miner.

"Which path should I take in the future?" Chen Huai'an was stunned, unsure of what to choose, because these areas clearly outlined the path he would take in the future.

As everyone knows, talisman makers, weapon refiners, and alchemists are the three most sought-after professions in the cultivation world. If you choose the path of a Qi refiner, you must possess a fire elemental root. Whether it's weapon refinement or alchemy, you definitely need to have some understanding of fire.

For example, some plant cultivators need to possess wood spirit roots in order to cultivate wood-attribute techniques and achieve success in planting.

Chen Huai'an possesses mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, allowing him to choose whether to engage in planting, talisman making, alchemy, or weapon crafting.

As a planter, Chen Huai'an did have this idea. After all, he possessed the Purple Gourd Space, which was a treasure that he had to make good use of. He had now cultivated spiritual herbs that were over a hundred years old. Selling these herbs would naturally be no problem, but it also carried corresponding risks.

However, if there were a technique for alchemy that could refine these spiritual herbs into pills, then it would be much easier for him to break through in the future.

In particular, ordinary pills are very common on the market, but some good pills are simply not available on the market. They are controlled by some cultivation sects and families, and can only be purchased through auctions.

Chen Huai'an couldn't possibly stop at the Qi Refining Realm for his entire life. He wanted to break through to the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul stages. So, if he had the identity of an alchemist, he could grow spiritual herbs and refine pills himself in the future.

Having determined the path Chen Huai'an would take in the future, what he needed to do now was choose a cultivation technique. He had already cultivated the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique, but he still needed to focus on a fire-based technique.

This fire-based technique must be related to flames. Only by mastering the flames can one greatly benefit from it, whether in crafting weapons, refining pills, or fighting enemies.

"Does reaching the Qi Refining Realm mean that one can only cultivate one technique as their main cultivation method?" Chen Huai'an frowned. After looking at all these dazzling array of techniques, he couldn't find one that suited him, and they were all forcing him to make a choice.

Chen Huai'an really didn't know how to choose. Whether it was planting, alchemy, weapon crafting, or talisman making, Chen Huai'an wanted them all.

Adults make choices, but children want it all.

"Kid, are you going to choose or not? You've been in here for most of the day." Just as Chen Huai'an was hesitating, an old man sunbathing at the door couldn't help but urge him on.

Outer disciples came and went in waves to choose their cultivation techniques, but Chen Huai'an wandered around the hall again and again without selecting a single one.

"Senior, I possess the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. I humbly request your guidance in selecting a cultivation technique suitable for me." Chen Huai'an was troubled by his inability to choose a technique when the old man guarding the Scripture Pavilion began to usher him out. He quickly stepped forward, bowed to the old man, and asked respectfully.

"Five elemental spiritual roots? With your useless aptitude, what's there to worry about? Pick any of these cultivation techniques in the hall; they're all suitable for you," the old man said impatiently.

"Senior, I want all these cultivation techniques." A hint of embarrassment appeared on Chen Huai'an's face before he expressed his desire.

Whether it's planting, alchemy, weapon crafting, or talisman making, he wants to cultivate.

"You want it all? Kid, you have quite the appetite, don't you? But do you know the saying, 'Don't bite off more than you can chew'? Your aptitude is already poor. If you cultivate these things, you'll never achieve much in your life." The old man was amused by Chen Huai'an's greed and said with a smile.
