"It's this big brother. Father, this big brother has already agreed to buy our jade slips.”Hearing this, the little girl pulled Ling Tian along and happily said to the middle-aged man.
"Little brother, have you already agreed to give me the jade slip that has been passed down in our family? However, it had to be 100,000 spirit stones, not one less.”The middle-aged man asked in disbelief.
Ling Tian didn't reply and instead frowned at the middle-aged man before saying,""100,000 spirit stones won't save your life. I believe you know that no amount of spirit stones can save your life.”
The middle-aged man smiled and looked at the little girl, Little Ling 'er, before saying,""Little brother, you've misunderstood. I only lied to her because I knew that little Ling 'er would definitely sell this jade slip. The 100,000 spirit stones weren't used to buy me a pill to save my life, but to send little Ling' er into the Northern Wind Sect.”As he spoke, he pulled over Little Ling 'er, who had a sad expression on her face when she realized that she had been deceived, and patted her head."Little Ling 'Er, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you.”
"Northern Wind Sect?" Hearing this, Ling Tian frowned.
"Could it be that little brother isn't a disciple of a sect? How could you not know about the Northern Wind Sect?”The middle-aged man asked curiously.
"No, I'm cultivating alone. This is also my first time in the Li Empire.”Hearing this, Ling Tian shook his head.
"Then why don't you join the Northern Wind Sect as well? You can take care of Little Ling 'er. I don't want her to have no one to rely on after I die.”The middle-aged man could tell that Ling Tian was not a bad person.
"Is the Northern Wind Sect powerful? Are there any conditions for recruiting disciples?" Hearing this, Ling Tian frowned and asked instead of agreeing.
"The North Wind Sect is one of the three major sects in the Li Tang Empire. It is on par with the other Raging Fire Valley and the Earth Spirit Sect. There are many experts in the sect. The recruitment requirement is to be under 30 years old.”The middle-aged man explained.
"Then why is Little Ling 'Er able to enter and why is she charging 100,000 spirit stones?”Ling Tian asked.
"Little brother, you might not know this, but you know that physique and talent are not everything. Therefore, other than those with heaven-defying talent and physique, those sects will not randomly accept disciples. After all, it is better to accept a disciple who is already a young expert when he wakes up than to accept a disciple with low strength. Taking in a disciple who knew nothing was even worse. It would take more than ten years to nurture him, and in the process, he would not be able to contribute much to the sect. That was why they would charge 100,000 spirit stones because they would not give you free training. If it wasn't for the fact that disciples who were taken in from a young age were more loyal, perhaps those sects wouldn't even take in disciples like this.”The middle-aged man replied.
Hearing this, Ling Tian fell silent for a while and thought to himself," What a selfish sect. This kind of sect wanted to last long?
After thinking for a while, Ling Tian said to the middle-aged man,""I understand. I'll buy the jade slip for 100,000 spirit stones. At the same time, I'll also agree to send little Ling 'er to the Northern Wind Sect, but I might not be able to enter that sect.”After saying that, he took out a storage ring and gave it to the middle-aged man,"Here are 100,000 spirit stones."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man took the storage ring and inspected it before coughing a few times to signal for Ling Er to pass the jade letter to Ling Tian. Ling Tian took the jade slip and did not let go of Little Ling 'er's hand. Instead, he began to examine Little Ling' er's body.
After a while, Ling Tian let go of Little Ling 'er's hand and said,""I don't like to take advantage of others. This jade slip isn't worth 100,000 spirit stones because it's more valuable. This jade slip contains a record of a type of person who is very suitable for Little Ling 'er's wind and water element constitutions.”As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and continued,"This cultivation technique is at the advanced stage of the Heaven Realm, enough to cultivate to the second major realm.”As he spoke, he handed the jade slip to the middle-aged man.
" This…" The middle-aged man held the jade slip and didn't know what to say. "It's nothing. Just consider it a fair trade. However, I want to know when the people from the Northern Wind Sect will come to recruit people.”Seeing this, Ling Tian smiled.
"You can ask around and find out. In three months, the three great sects will start recruiting disciples once every three years.”
Hearing this, Ling Tian nodded his head and said," Alright, I'll stay nearby. I'll bring little Ling 'Er there in three months."”After saying that, Ling Tian did not wait for the middle-aged man to say anything else before turning around and leaving. Following his words, he bought the house of the middle-aged man and stayed there.
At night, Ling Tian looked at Yu Yan in his hands and muttered to himself,""In the end, I've still profited. However, I still have to undo the restriction on this jade slip. Fortunately, there should be a method to remove this restriction in the Nanhua Sutra.”
After saying that, Ling Tian closed his eyes and began to ponder. Four hours later, he opened his eyes and began to form hand seals with both hands. He then continuously sent out the jade slip in his hand, and the spiritual energy in Ling Tian's body flowed into the jade slip.
As for Ling Tian, his face started to turn pale. After Ling Tian formed the 40th hand seal, his face turned pale without a trace of blood. After forming the 45th hand seal, Ling Tian's face was covered in sweat and his eyes were bloodshot. However, he still gritted his teeth and formed the last four hand seals.
After the forty-nine incantation gestures were completed, the jade slip emitted a green light before it disappeared. At the same time, Ling Tian's body swayed as he fell onto the bed.
The next morning, when Ling Tian woke up, the first thing he did was not to look at the jade slip but to meditate. He had used up too much of his spiritual energy, and it was because he did not know much about restrictions that he was wasting his spiritual energy.
In the evening, Ling Tian's face finally regained some color and he woke up from his cultivation. He took out the green jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows to examine it with his recovered spiritual energy. He knew that Little Ling 'er was not lying and that it recorded all the places in the county. For example, the huge lake Ling Tian had just arrived at was called the Green Cloud Lake. It was a huge lake with a diameter of over a million miles and there were many small islands in the lake. There were no powerful demonic beasts.(Ling Tian was a little speechless about this. Who was this powerful for?）However, this lake could only be considered a medium-sized lake in a place called Tianyun County.
This jade slip had some records of some local specialties, landforms, and demon beast species. Moreover, the records were not as good as the jade slip he had bought in the shop.
From this jade slip, Ling Tian knew that he was still in the South Continent, in the Heavenly Cloud County of the South Continent. The domain he was in was called the Heavenly Wind Domain, which was ranked in the middle of the 36 domains of the Heavenly Cloud Domain.
The 36 regions in Heavenly Cloud County were larger than Donghua County, which had hundreds of regions. Even the smallest region in Heavenly Cloud County was more than 10 times larger than Nanhua Region, and the Heavenly Wind Region was more than 100 times larger than Nanhua Region.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed and Ling Tian found out that Little Ling 'er's surname was Feng Ling' er. Her full name was Feng Ling 'er and she had the same surname as Feng Qing' er. It could be said that they were fated. Feng Ling 'er's father, who begged for Feng Ling' er's help, never saw her enter the Northern Wind Gate. He passed away a month ago.
After much consideration, Ling Tian decided to join the Northern Wind Sect because he wanted to find a sect to join and cultivate in.
Therefore, he brought Feng Ling 'er to join this long line. There were a total of three lines, which were respectively the Three Lei Sects. The people who recruited disciples all had good strength, and the lowest was at the Supreme Realm. On the side, there were also some Emperor Level disciples helping to maintain the team.
After a long time, he said," Next." The person in charge of the statistics in front shouted. Seeing this, Ling Tian gestured for Feng Ling 'er to go up.
"Name." "Feng Ling 'er."
"Age?" "Ten years old."
"Yes." The old man in charge of counting looked up at Feng Ling 'er, and Feng Ling' er hurriedly handed the storage ring in her hand to the old man. The old man took the storage ring and controlled his soul power. After a while, he said,"Passed, in-name disciple." As he spoke, he gave Feng Ling 'er a jade token and called out,""Next."
" Ling Tian!" Ling Tian stepped forward.
"Age?" "Twenty-three."
"Strength?" "Early Dou Huang."
Hearing this, the old man looked at Ling Tian and noted it down,""Passed." Then, the old man gestured for Ling Tian to go down and take the test.
The next test was a rectangular white jade stone with twelve stripes on it. This was an attack strength testing stone. It did not test one's cultivation but one's attack strength. This one line was at the initial stage of the Dou Zong class, these two lines were at the middle stage of the Dou Zong class, and so on. Ling Tian didn't use his sword and only punched out with his fist. The nine stripes were at the late stage of the Emperor realm, and he was one of the most talented disciples in the city.
Ling Tian did not have any opinion about this. As long as he could enter the sect, it did not matter what level of talent he had. He was only thinking of taking shelter under the shade of the big tree.
Three days later, Ling Tian and Feng Ling 'er rode on the demonic beast of the Northern Wind Sect and set off for the Northern Wind Sect. The town that Ling Tian and Ling Tian from the Northern Wind Sect were in was quite far away, and the eagle demon beast had to fly for two months to arrive.
After entering the Northern Wind Sect, Ling Tian could feel how extraordinary the sect was. Not to mention anything else, just the mountain peaks in the sect's encampment were enough to make one gasp in admiration. It wasn't because the mountain peaks were magnificent, but because they all contained spiritual veins. It ranged from low-grade spirit meridians of level one to middle-grade spirit meridians of level five.
There were seventeen peaks that attracted the most attention. These seventeen peaks were not only very tall, but they also contained the best spirit veins.
As for Ling Tian, he only knew how powerful the Northern Wind Sect was after entering it. The Northern Wind Sect had an in-name disciple, a youth like Feng Ling 'er. The outer sect disciples were also the most numerous disciples. There were more than a million of them, and they were at least at the King level. 200,000 inner disciples were also at the King level and above, but the requirement for talent was higher. 30,000 core disciples. The requirement was to have a cultivation base of Emperor Level and above, and to have extraordinary talent.
This time, Ling Tian was forced to become a core disciple.
Above the core disciples, there were 5,000 elite disciples above the supreme level and only 300 personal disciples of the sect elders.
There were no requirements for strength or age for a personal disciple. The only requirement was talent and being valued by the elders.
When it came to choosing the mountain peaks, Ling Tian did not choose the best mountain peak or any good mountain peak. Instead, he chose a mountain peak that was ranked below average but had the least number of people. Feng Ling 'er was an in-name disciple, so she didn't have the right to live on the seventeen peaks that only core disciples and above could live on.
"Look, another person has come. Doesn't he know that this peak is going to decline? Why do you still want to join this peak?" Just as Ling Tian was flying towards the Green Cloud Peak, a group of people pointed at him and commented.
"It's because he's greedy for the spiritual energy above. However, he doesn't know the importance of the guidance of the strong. In the battle between the Blue Cloud Peak and the Raging Fire Valley decades ago, the number of strong people who died was the highest. Only a few were lucky enough to survive.”Another person sighed.
"That's right. I estimate that it won't be long before he comes down. However, he doesn't know how difficult it is to change peaks. When the time comes, he will suffer. Just like me, in order to change peaks, I have worked hard and made countless contributions to the sect. Sigh!" Another person who had once cultivated on the Blue Cloud Peak said.
Hearing this, Ling Tian shook his head," It's better if there are fewer experts!
He didn't want his secret to be discovered by an expert, and he didn't even know about it. Besides, who could give him pointers on the Demon Martial Arts he cultivated? He couldn't possibly tell anyone about this Demon Martial Arts, unless he wanted to die. Therefore, the Green Cloud Peak was his best choice.
After arriving at the Green Cloud Peak, Ling Tian did not head to the main hall because there was no one there. Thus, after he went to the reporting area, he chose a remote place to stay. He did not meet anyone else and instead closed his door to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed. In these three years, Ling Tian had been cultivating, and other than his own cultivation, he had Qing Yi consume demonic beast cores or pills to cultivate. In these three years, he had only visited Feng Ling 'er a few times, and even if he did, he would only ask her about her cultivation and give her some pills before coming back to cultivate.
In three years, Ling Tian had broken through to the late stage of the Emperor realm, and Qing Yi was almost at the Half-Saint realm. Originally, Ling Tian wanted to continue his cultivation, but he was interrupted by someone. This was because he had been assigned a mission for the past three years.
There were quite a number of people who went for this mission. There were more than thirty people, not only from the Blue Cloud Peak. No, it would be more accurate to say that there were only two people from the Green Cloud Peak. Other than him, there was a somewhat skinny man whose strength was at the peak of the Dou Huang class. The rest of the people were from other peaks.
This time, they had to guard a small spirit stone mine for half a year. It was a long time, but there was no fighting. Moreover, the existence of spirit stones meant that there was a spirit vein, so their cultivation would not fall behind by much.
