The Path of Survivor Begins With Obtaining Titles

 

After packing up his things, Lin Yi left the cave mansion. He had no need for the year-long free residence provided by the Flying Spirit Hall.

Just by looking at the span of one year, it was evident that this was likely the waiting period for Ascenders to be tested.

This was why he figured the Spirit City Guards of Tai Xuan Divine City were in such a hurry for the test.

Passing by the Flying Spirit Hall, there were still only a few Golden Core Disciples inside. The reduction in the number of Ascenders had left this organization rather idle.

One could only imagine the scene of many Ascenders gathered here through the spaciousness of the grand hall.

However, due to limitations of resources, the development of any world is from weak to strong, from its peak to a decline.

The resources of the Cultivation World are also finite. Spirit Stone Resources and the Spiritual Energy from Spirit Veins would gradually deplete over time.

Perhaps tens of thousands of years from now, the Lower Realm would enter the Dusk of Magic, no longer producing Ascenders.

Without the replenishment of Ascenders, the Human Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm, already weak, may not even be able to retain its remaining Spirit Cities.

The reason why Tai Xuan Dao Palace values Ascenders so much, even allowing them to enter the palace to receive teaching, is because they hope to find and nurture individuals among Ascenders capable of changing the situation of the human race.

After stepping out of the range of the Flying Spirit Hall, Lin Yi began to fly on his sword toward the market. Although the higher-realm pills were more expensive than in the Lower Realm, some materials were actually cheaper.

After ascending to the upper world, he had taken some Spirit Grass from the Dan God Secret Realm, but it was slightly inferior compared to the Spirit Grass of the upper world.

After all, there had been a qualitative change in the Spiritual Energy of the Spirit Profound Realm. The places where Spirit Grasses were cultivated were similarly affected. Besides, the territory of the entire human race was vast, which probably also contributed to the affordability of the Spirit Grass here.

Even though there was a change in Spiritual Energy, the Spirit Stones he brought contained essentially the same kind of Spiritual Energy as those in the Lower Realm, hence they could still be used.

However, there were now grades above Supreme-grade Spirit Stones: Spirit-grade and Immortal-grade, which perhaps, truly belonged to the Spirit Stones of the Spirit Profound Realm.

Unaware of the prices of Spirit Grass within Tai Xuan Divine City, he decided to first make some purchases in the Qinglian Spirit City market, just in case they were needed later.

Upon arriving at the Qinglian marketplace, some Cultivators who worked as guides immediately surrounded him, starting their sales pitches from a distance without daring to get too close.

Lin Yi scanned the crowd and didn’t notice Nie Xiaoling, so he asked, “Does anyone know why Nie Xiaoling hasn’t come?”

Realizing that this senior had personal connections, those Cultivators shook their heads and dispersed, seemingly disinterested in answering the question.

An elderly Qi Refining Cultivator at the Late Stage of Qi Refining hurriedly cupped his fists and said, “Senior, Nie Xiaoling’s father is ill, and she has to take care of him in the morning. She usually comes around noon, and she should be arriving soon.”

Lin Yi nodded slightly and handed over two bottles of Supreme-grade Gathering Qi Pills, “Good, once Nie Xiaoling arrives, have her send a message to me.”

The Qi Refining Cultivator took the porcelain bottles with both hands. After opening them and smelling the rich fragrance of the pills, he quickly bowed and gave thanks, “Many thanks, senior. I will wait here for her arrival.”

Although the Spiritual Energy in this Spirit City was sufficient for a Foundation Building cultivator to practice cultivation, with the support of pills, the cultivation speed would be even faster.

Lin Yi then entered the market and headed toward the Spiritual Medicine Workshop. These shops sold alchemy materials, including Pill Furnaces, Spirit Grass, alchemy books, and even Spirit Herb Seeds, alongside the pills.

Considering settling down in Tai Xuan Divine City later, he thought about buying seeds to cultivate Spirit Grass and Spiritual Medicine depending on the circumstances.

Upon arriving at the Spiritual Medicine Workshop, he took out a list that detailed the needed Spirit Grass materials.

The shopkeeper glanced at it and warmly ushered him into a private room, poured a cup of tea, and asked him to wait for a moment.

After purchasing all the materials he needed, Lin Yi paid with Spirit Stones and then left, ready to fly off on his sword when a crisp voice called out from behind, “Senior… Elder Dong Fang, wait for me.” ꞦÅꞐоＢƐⱾ

Turning around, he saw it was Nie Xiaoling, with Spiritual Power radiating from her feet, indicating she was using a low-level Qi Refinement Spell, the Divine Movement Technique.

Back when he was in the stage of Qi Refinement, his first practice was the martial art of lightweight technique called Gale Step, which was later replaced by the intermediate-level Spell, Wind Law.

Nie Xiaoling came rushing over and bowed with her fists clasped, full of apologies, “Senior, I am sorry for being late. I didn’t know you would be visiting the market today, and I delayed your time. This time I will serve you free of charge.”

Lin Yi shook his head with a smile, “Why didn’t you send a message instead of running over here?”

Nie Xiaoling scratched her head, “Your Sound Transmission Talisman is too precious for me to use rashly. Grandfather Wei told me the direction you went, so I guessed you must be here to buy pills.”

“Alright, then come aboard. After today, I will be leaving Qinglian Spirit City. The Sound Transmission Talisman will likely be of no use, so keep it as a memento,” Lin Yi said with a soft nod, gesturing toward his Flying Sword.

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoling’s face showed a hint of reluctance as she bowed again, “Thank you, senior. It’s good that I didn’t use it. I wish you a smooth journey and success on your path.”

“Let’s go then,” said Lin Yi, without much further comment, as he flew off on his sword with Nie Xiaoling, and continued to make a few more purchases in the market.
