Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 699: Chapter 700: Massive Improvement!

Tianyan Sect.

The secluded cultivation space reserved exclusively for core disciples was activated once again, but this time the user wasn’t Yanyun—it was Li Yingling.

This wasn’t Chu Xingchen’s request. His original plan had been to borrow one of Tianyan Sect’s excellent breakthrough locations and then make some additional arrangements himself.

But after Yanyun found out, she had proactively offered it for Li Yingling’s use.

Core disciple treatment was naturally the most complete. Just activating the secluded cultivation space alone consumed considerable spiritual stones and time, specially redirecting a portion of the circulating spiritual veins into the secret realm.

The sufficiency of spiritual energy went without saying.

Chu Xingchen had politely declined once, but Yanyun was rather serious about it—the Integration realm was where the body and spiritual consciousness underwent sublimation and fusion. It was the most important and couldn’t be taken lightly.

Naturally, the words were true.

But if you really thought about it, every realm in cultivation couldn’t be taken lightly.

Qi Refining was the foundation of foundations. Foundation Establishment was still a foundation. Golden Core needed to be flawless. Nascent Soul required karma...

A cultivator’s path upward seemed to require achieving the absolute peak of oneself before touching the summit.

Seeing Yanyun’s serious attitude, Chu Xingchen hadn’t refused—otherwise it would seem too distant, and there would be a sense of taking advantage and then acting coy.

Outside the secret realm.

Two tables, several plates of melon seeds and spiritual fruits.

People from inside and outside the sect had all gathered—including Chen Baiqing and Cui Hao, who were still on their way back.

Everyone watched together as the spiritual energy tide above the secret realm surged like seas and rivers, waves of profound intent radiating outward in all directions.

Yanyun was also seated in one of the chairs, holding melon seeds and lightly cracking them, her eyes slightly narrowed as she watched the strange breakthrough phenomenon before her.

Even as a core disciple, she had to admit that judging solely by the phenomenon of breaking through to the Integration realm, Yanyun was still quite far behind.

Li Yingling...

Perhaps Chu Xingchen’s brilliance was too dazzling, unconsciously overshadowing the light of his disciples who hadn’t yet grown.

Given time, the future Li Yingling might not lose to the current Chu Xingchen.

Heaven’s favored child, carrying fortune—truly extraordinary.

”Sect master doesn’t need to worry. Eldest senior sister’s talent is outstanding.”

Ning Qianqian had finished cutting the spiritual fruits and handed them to San Dong beside her. Seeing Chu Xingchen’s furrowed brows, she thought the sect master was worried, so she continued softly:

”A mere Integration realm—eldest senior sister will definitely take it down easily.”

Hearing this, Chu Xingchen looked at Ning Qianqian.

[Target: Ning Qianqian]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Mid Stage]

[Blue Attribute Line: Steady Handling of Affairs]

[Blue Attribute Line: Unwavering Resolve]

[Blue Attribute Line: Loyal and Righteous]

[Blue Attribute Line: Keen-Witted]

[Disciple Recruitment Conditions Not Met]

Although Tianyan Sect claimed they hadn’t given Ning Qianqian extra cultivation resources, in reality they had given more—and that didn’t even count what Chu Xingchen would specifically give her on top of that.

Ning Qianqian had refused at first, but Chu Xingchen had resolved it with one sentence—I give it to you because you’re one of our sect’s people.

The resources piled up had actually exceeded the standard for her realm—and it was the Tianyan Sect-level standard.

So strictly speaking, Ning Qianqian’s aptitude was indeed somewhat... a pity.

It was said Ning Qianqian had always been very diligent in her cultivation, and the pressure seemed quite heavy too.

After all, the ones cultivating alongside Ning Qianqian were carefully selected premium seedlings from Tianyan Sect—anyone outside would call them geniuses.

But Ning Qianqian’s resilience was also strong.

This breakthrough of Li Yingling to the Integration realm was the biggest sect event in nearly ten years—and the kind that could be announced.

Previously, Chu Xingchen’s severe injuries and cultivation drop had been top-secret information, with an extremely high level of confidentiality.

San Dong lived on the Peak of One Big Happy Family, and after finding out, had been repeatedly instructed not to reveal Chu Xingchen’s condition—she could only say she didn’t know.

As for Ning Kun, he had always adhered to his principles and basically lived in the outer circle, only coming to the core area when he received a specific summons.

But since coming to Tianyan Sect, there was less for Ning Kun to do. The most he did was cultivate on his own and visit Ning Qianqian.

More leisurely than before, but with more self-restraint too.

After all, in Ning Kun’s heart, Tianyan Sect wasn’t his own sect.

His sect was in Yuzhou City, in Wanhua Ridge—although Ning Kun didn’t know that his sect’s location in Yuzhou City had already become a cliff.

So Ning Qianqian had also learned about Chu Xingchen’s injuries quite late.

Chu Xingchen only felt some regret that Ning Qianqian was firm in heart but limited by aptitude—but that didn’t mean he had to push Ning Qianqian to any particular realm.

He smiled and answered Ning Qianqian:

”It’s not worry. It’s just that with a breakthrough phenomenon like this, I’m afraid it’ll break the secret realm, and I’m afraid I can’t afford to pay for it.”

Hearing this, Yanyun stopped cracking seeds, glanced at Chu Xingchen, but didn’t speak.

Chu Xingchen chuckled, his gaze naturally shifting to Yanyun’s table.

Li Xingtian and Yun Li were sitting at Yanyun’s table, neither showing much expression.

[Target: Yun Li]

[Cultivation: Nascent Soul Early Stage]

[Golden Attribute Line: Divine Dragon True Source]

[Purple Attribute Line: Bearer of Karma]

[Purple Attribute Line: Inherited Memory]

[Blue Attribute Line: Bearer of Fortune]

[Blue Attribute Line: Painstaking Cultivation]

[Blue Attribute Line: Steadiness]

Recently, Yun Li’s bitter cultivation intensity had obviously slowed. After entering the Nascent Soul realm, he could no longer just cultivate bitterly—his progress was clearly not what it had been before Nascent Soul.

Yun Li also had memory inheritance. With each realm breakthrough, he could learn about many things, which was also something that needed organizing.

So this former cultivation maniac had obviously been showing his face much more often over the past year.

Chu Xingchen had plans to throw this snake out for some training. After all, learning alone was useless—it had to be applied. Combat experience was still necessary.

Yun Li’s golden attribute line was also the reward for breaking through from Golden Core to the Nascent Soul realm.

The span from an orange attribute line to a golden attribute line was beyond words.

Choosing to upgrade [Golden Dragon Shed Skin] to [Divine Dragon True Source] was also an inevitable choice.

Naturally, Yun Li had also popped a super large pill refined by Chu Xingchen for this.

The effect was outstanding, and Yun Li had also reached Yuankong’s pill tolerance realm.

But unlike Yuankong, who had become afraid, Yun Li, after gritting his teeth, still dared to ask Chu Xingchen for more super large pills—the effect is great. When I’m mentally prepared, I plan to pop another one.

Chu Xingchen had naturally refused, stating that one was the maximum at most. More would be useless, at best tempering the mind, and the materials were expensive.

Perhaps Yun Li was also afraid, so he hadn’t insisted on trying another.

Now, after Yun Li’s golden attribute line [Divine Dragon True Source] was upgraded, horns had appeared on top of his true form’s head.

Before, you could call him a snake. Now, he looked more like a dragon.

Naturally, the disciples’ improvement was enormous.

Similarly,

Chu Xingchen’s improvement was also enormous.

Thirteen years of time.

Just passively lying flat.

Chu Xingchen had already pushed his cultivation to the Integration realm.

If Li Yingling’s breakthrough went ideally,

Chu Xingchen returning to the Mahayana realm was probably not too far off.
