Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 231: The Sect's Own Problems (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Grotto-Heaven within the pot.

When the illusion of the Fox God appeared in the Fox God Palace, Su Ping was the first to notice.

At the moment he saw the illusion of the Fox God occupying half of the sky above a small mountain peak.

Through the information that appeared in his mind, Su Ping discovered that the level of this Fox God illusion had reached Rank Seven!

Rank Four Nascent Soul, Rank Five Soul Formation, Rank Six Return to Void, Rank Seven Body Integration!

Rank Seven, in the Immortal Cultivation World, would be considered the power of the Body Integration stage, right?

In the current Immortal Cultivation World, Soul Formation is already the pinnacle. Sects with the strength of Soul Formation dare to call themselves Immortal Gates.

Not to mention the Body Integration stage, it seems that even the Return to Void stage only exists in myths and legends.

According to ancient books, Human Immortal is the stage above Soul Formation.

Return to Void, Body Integration, and Mahayana are the step-by-step processes of transforming into an immortal.

The power gap between each realm is also getting larger.

If this Fox God illusion could appear in the Immortal Cultivation World... I'm afraid all the cultivation sects in the Immortal Cultivation World combined would not be enough to match it!

Su Ping also felt the hidden benefits of the Fox God Palace.

During large-scale rituals or when the Fox God is in a good mood, it will descend an illusion and bestow blessings.

These blessings last for about an hour.

During this hour, meditating can greatly enhance self-perception and gain insight into the future.

After an hour.

After experiencing this benefit, Su Ping looked at the massive amount of fishing coins in his warehouse.

He began to busy himself with improving his own fundamental cultivation base.

With enough fishing coins and abundant spiritual water, various priceless Apex Level Spirit Medicines can be cultivated by himself.

Solving the most critical Spirit Medicines, pill recipes are not lacking.

Whether it is the Ten Directions Sect or the original Blood God Sect, there is no shortage of pill recipes involving Foundation Building, Gold Core, and even Nascent Soul.

With the purification elixirs to eliminate side effects, even if they are not High Grade pills, it doesn't matter to Su Ping.

Su Ping felt that it wouldn't be long before he could see the day when he swallowed a Gold Core.

Water Blue Star.

Sakura Country, Sakura City.

Kamo Junichiro, dressed in Yin & Yang robes, sat in the Great Hall of an ancient shrine in a lotus position.

Surrounded by eerie Ghost Qi, he gently waved a folding fan in his hand while scanning the kneeling shrine maidens on the floor.

Three days ago, the fox-faced shrine maiden Sakura appeared in Sakura City and revealed an unprecedented pressure.

Although it was only auxiliary, her Gold Core Realm was real. Just releasing her aura could create a level of suppression on the outside world.

At that moment, time in the entire Sakura City seemed to freeze for an instant!

And in the minds of millions of people, the phantom of the fox-faced shrine maiden's mask appeared, accompanied by her whispering.

The speed of her speech was not fast, and the language was obviously different.

However, the people who heard it understood the meaning of the words in their minds for the first time.

That is... the Fox God Palace has established a new branch.

She, the newly appointed main priestess Sakura, is now selecting a group of obedient and talented shrine maidens!

Anyone who thinks they are capable can come to the Kamo family to participate in the selection.

This operation made Kamo Junichiro immediately kneel to the ground and secretly speculate that this is the true strength of the esteemed Fox-Faced Shrine Maiden.

It also prevented the big shots from monopolizing the information and planning to arrange the shrine maidens as their own people before the plan even started.

Although the people of Sakura Country had never heard of the Fox God Palace before, they realized that this was a great opportunity for them personally.

Especially the professional or part-time shrine maidens of the major shrines, they were extremely excited and immediately found their bosses to request leave.

As a result, for a while, not a single shrine maiden could be seen in the major shrines of Sakura Country, and some male staff had to temporarily take on part-time jobs to handle miscellaneous tasks.

Kamo Junichiro was appointed as the temporary recruitment personnel.

The mansion was also temporarily used as the recruitment site.

He declined all visits that day and turned off all his personal communication devices.

Then he established rules and began wholeheartedly recruiting.

"There are positions, an annual salary of tens of millions, five insurances and two funds, with an insurance amount of one billion... Apart from only having the New Year off, it's simply a perfect job!"

"The job content is also simple. Besides the Fox God truly appearing during the rituals, it seems not much different from the work of part-time shrine maidens in the past."

"Wait, it seems like there's no internet? So that means slacking off... Ahem, resting time will be boring, right?"

"No, no, with such good treatment, enduring for one or two years will give you everything. Just download more novels and TV shows to slowly watch."

In the Great Hall, Kagura Momiji, dressed in a pure white shrine maiden outfit, knelt on the ground with her head lowered. Although it was not the appropriate occasion, she couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Even though she was just a college student, Kagura Momiji had the advantage of a family background in esoteric knowledge such as shrines and mysteries, which she had been exposed to since elementary school.

She was already skilled at earning pocket money from her classmates through crystal divination.

Starting from middle school, in addition to going to shrines, magic societies, and anime places for part-time jobs, she also took on exorcism tasks and successfully helped several sets of parents solve their children's refusal to go to school due to spiritual problems.

Because of this, after deciding to participate in this recruitment, Kagura Momiji never thought that she would be rejected.

And reality did indeed turn out as she had expected.

From registration, preliminary selection, to the final selection, Kagura Momiji smoothly passed through each stage and finally entered this Great Hall, where she saw the person that all the mysterious individuals in the Cherry Blossom Kingdom envied and resented, Mr. Koma Junichiro!

"That guy completely ignored the aura I released?"

The black crow god on Koma Junichiro's body was currently floating on the ceiling, overlooking the candidates below, and noticed Kagura Momiji's anomaly.

In the eyes of the black crow god, Kagura Momiji was as quiet as a stone.

It seemed normal, but when all the other candidates were trembling in fear due to the aura of the black crow god, this normality became the biggest abnormality!

"Her aura is very clean, she probably hasn't come into contact with any other Transcendent forces."

"What's her name..."

Koma Junichiro released a small black crow god avatar from his body and began searching the roster in the cabinet.

Soon, he found the name and profile of the other person and had a sudden realization.

"Kagura Momiji? A branch bloodline of the Kagura family?"

"Hmm... It seems that the Kagura family, like our Koma clan, is also a bloodline left behind by Transcendents from ancient times?"

"Perhaps in the future, I can give some guidance to our clan members and have more exchanges with them."

With this thought in mind, Koma Junichiro did not show it on the surface.

He treated Kagura Momiji with the same attitude as everyone else.

The recruitment continued, and as Koma Junichiro took out the Law Weapon for the preliminary testing of disciples from the Tenfang Sect, he inspected each candidate one by one.

Originally, there were hundreds of people in the Great Hall, but in the end, only fifty remained.

Those who left were also given generous travel expenses and recorded in the files.

Being able to pass the preliminary selection itself proved that they all had Spiritual Roots.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, at least they could become honorable Outer Sect disciples of the Immortal Gate through the Ascension Meeting.

After a while, the fifty candidates, aged between 16 and 25, saw a fox-faced priestess suddenly appear in the main seat.

"Is that the high priestess of the Fox God Shrine?"

Seeing the appearance of the fox-faced priestess, Sakura, Kagura Momiji's eyes also lit up, revealing a hint of envy.

Although she had always preferred making money over cultivation, wasn't it because she had never seen a divine being manifest before?

Now she had the opportunity to come into contact with a divine being who could truly manifest.

Kagura Momiji suddenly felt that maybe cultivating properly would be nice too.

Su Ping controlled the fox-faced priestess to scan these priestesses.

It had to be said that with a sufficient population base, one could always find suitable workers of various types.

Due to rotation and considerations for unexpected situations, the Fox God Shrine needed only twelve priestesses, but Su Ping planned to recruit twice as many.

After all, they couldn't leave the Fox God Shrine through the formation, nor could they see the outside world.

And with the help of the fox-faced priestess, Sakura, they could manage the others.

In addition to completing important ritual activities, these priestesses could also organize themselves to learn the four arts of cultivation during their free time.

Who knows, they might discover a few workers with exceptional talent in this area!

First was the Bloodline tablet test.

Su Ping also noticed the priestess Kagura Momiji, but after the Bloodline test, he did not find that she possessed a Spirit Body.

However, under Su Ping's further aptitude test, he discovered that Kagura Momiji possessed an Illusionary Spiritual Roots equivalent to High Grade Spiritual Roots.

Illusionary Spiritual Roots involved the spiritual and void aspects, naturally possessing extremely high spiritual resistance.

This allowed them to endure the gaze and even the inheritance from higher-level existences more quickly and effectively through cultivation.

In fantasy novels, they would be like holy knights or children of gods who were naturally resistant to corruption.

In the Immortal Cultivation World... they would be excellent, sustainably consumable incense boys.

With a thought in his mind, Su Ping remembered Kagura Momiji's name.

Then, he selected the top twenty-four individuals with the best aptitude, including Kagura Momiji.

Hearing this, Kamoshinichiro nodded slightly, indicating that the other party should take care of things.

Su Ping took the twenty-four shrine maidens and disappeared into the Great Hall.

Kamoshinichiro remained in a bent position until three seconds after they disappeared, then raised his head and looked at the disappointed losers. He said lightly, "Although you were not chosen, the fact that you can stay until now proves your excellence."

"Now you have two choices."

"Choice one, you can leave. Before leaving, each person will receive one million in travel expenses!"

"Choice two, become a shrine maiden at my shrine..."

...

Inside the Fox God Shrine, with the addition of the Kagura spirits, the popularity increased. The conditions were also met, and the first ceremony was successfully held two days later.

In Su Ping's hands, there was an additional purple talisman.

This talisman was about three inches long, with a series of ghost symbols on the front and a Nine-tailed Fox pattern on the back.

This talisman allowed Su Ping to summon a phantom from the Fox God to assist in battle.

Naturally, this phantom couldn't be as powerful as the previous one.

After all, the strength of the Fox-faced Shrine Maiden Sakura was only at the Gold Core Realm.

But Su Ping thought that the Gold Core Realm Fox God phantom would be invincible within the Gold Core period, right?

Even if it was a Nascent Soul enemy one realm higher, there was probably a good chance of fighting against them!

With the blessing of the Blood God's true body, as well as the enhanced blessings of the Fox-faced Shrine Maiden Sakura and the Purple Light Fox Curse.

Su Ping felt that when encountering a battle, he might be able to permanently leave behind one or two Nascent Soul enemies!

After obtaining another life-saving trump card.

Su Ping felt a disturbance in the Blood Mysterious Realm.

It turned out that the Blood God's true body had already digested the information that came from the difficult challenge of the City of Flesh and Blood.

These pieces of information contained a part of the memories of the City of Flesh and Blood and a part of the knowledge of the Abyss.

These things were not mentally polluted, but rather the strategy of the higher Abyss monsters.

The power of the Abyss was also power. As long as one knew about it, it could become a catalyst.

So the transmission of information before Death could be considered as their somewhat effective means of temptation.

Even heroes have their twilight years, when they are betrayed, replaced by stronger individuals, or simply when they are about to die.

The Abyss knowledge that could change everything, as long as one knew it, how many people could resist the temptation?

Can one endure it for a moment, but how can one endure it for a lifetime?

And as long as the knowledge of the Abyss was used, the purpose of the higher Abyss monsters' previous failures would be achieved.

Su Ping didn't look at the Abyss knowledge, but looked at the fragments of memory from the City of Flesh and Blood.

In that memory, Su Ping saw a new world.

It was a world divided into two distinct halves by some mysterious power.

One half was forever in daylight, and the other half was forever in the deep night.

Both worlds were inhabited by a large number of intelligent beings and had established powerful civilizations.

There even existed colossal floating cities.

The City of Flesh and Blood was originally a prosperous floating ancient city in the daytime world.

Hundreds of thousands of people lived there, living peaceful and harmonious lives.

However, one day, the Lord of Flesh and Blood descended upon this world.

The white sky was covered with eyeballs.

Under the gaze of those eyes, both the daytime world and the nighttime world underwent changes.

All the floating cities fell to the ground like raindrops.

And the flesh and blood that grew on the ground flooded everything like a tide.

When hundreds of thousands of people and the city fell, they had already merged into one, becoming a living City of Flesh and Blood, floating on the sea of flesh and blood, constantly worshiping the great existence in the sky.

That was an existence that was incredibly powerful even in the Abyss.

The Lords of the Abyss were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River.

But there were only seven who could be called monarchs.

And the Lord of Flesh and Blood was one of them!

The memory ended here.

Su Ping frowned slightly, but also understood the reason why the other party deliberately transmitted this memory.

Naturally, it was to showcase the powerful impression of the Lord of Flesh and Blood, so that those who came into contact with the knowledge of the Abyss would be more likely to actively join.

"Just at the moment of appearance, it assimilated a world with obvious Transcendent power."

"What level of power is this?"

"Rank Seven? Or above Rank Seven!"

"How deep is the Abyss? How does it compare to the evil gods encountered in the Immortal Cultivation World?"

Su Ping rubbed his forehead, but did not destroy this memory.

Instead, he copied several copies of it into the Jade Slip.

At the same time, a bold idea flashed in his mind.

If it was possible to purify the contaminated veins, even if it was only temporarily purified.

Perhaps when the Immortal Cultivation World was about to be bitten again.

He could use the power of the Abyss Challenge Scroll to give the other side a big gift.

Immortal Cultivation World.

Overseas islands.

Some well-informed and keen-sensed cultivation families discovered that the team led by the Blood God Ancestor suddenly appeared in the Southern Wilderness and settled down peacefully.

After the Qi Xin Sect did not make any moves against them.

They sent some of their clan members to join this ancestor for various reasons to share the risk.

At the same time, in order to please the ancestor.

They also tried their best to find and deliver the acquisition tasks issued by this new force.

On the sea, a building ship was sailing towards the largest island under the seat of the Blood God Ancestor.

On the building ship, Little Mu, a Perfected Being, transformed into an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator, feeling uneasy in his heart.

This time, he took the opportunity to escape.

As an elite of the Qi Xin Sect's Inner Sect.

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, increasingly felt that the Sect was becoming abnormal.

The intuition that had always allowed him to survive kept reminding him that danger was approaching.

After struggling for a few days, he accidentally learned that a good friend had sent his most cherished granddaughter to the territory of the Blood God Ancestor.

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, suddenly became enlightened.

He had a feeling of wanting to run away, feeling as if the heavens and earth were wide open in an instant.

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, learned in detail about the style of the Blood God Ancestor.

Like many Foundation Building cultivators, he immediately realized that this person was a fake.

The real one was probably an ancestor from a hidden Immortal Gate!

And when the fake ancestor deliberately revealed that he had a large secret realm with a large number of mortals under his control.

And was developing a blood mysterious realm, news of the lack of Foundation Building cultivators entering the secret realm spread.

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, immediately found the right time to go out on business, bringing along his important belongings, especially the rare Spirit Medicine seeds that seemed to be highly valued by the ancestor.

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, used secret techniques and special treasures to fake his death and escape, disguising himself as a Foundation Building cultivator who had fled from elsewhere.

He attempted to change his allegiance and become a lackey under the seat of the Blood God Ancestor!

"I'm just an ordinary inner disciple, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"And in a sense, this place can also be considered the territory of that ancestor. For the sake of me, he shouldn't tear his face, right?"

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, thought to himself.

But suddenly, an alarm bell rang in his heart!

"Be on guard!"

On the high deck of the building ship, a cultivator suddenly discovered something and shouted out.

Boom!

The sea area not far away suddenly exploded with a large curtain of water.

Then, a giant sea monster resembling a snake, tens of meters long, rushed out of the water curtain and pounced towards the building ship!

At this moment, Little Mu, a Perfected Being, felt a chill in his heart. His keen intuition told him that the target of this monster was clearly himself!

No longer daring to hide his skills, Little Mu, a Perfected Being, took out his Spiritual Weapon and struck out.

But just as they clashed.

Little Mu, a Perfected Being, was shocked to realize that this sea monster was clearly controlled by the Divine Ability of an Elder in the Sect!

Sure enough!

His own Sect had major problems!

It's Mid-Autumn Festival, and Little White wishes everyone good health and all the best with the Ruyi Scepter!
