Chapter 74, Transition, Immortal Rice

Six cultivators emerged one after another from Qingfeng Hall.

The previous confrontation between the four cultivators had vanished, replaced by a harmonious atmosphere.

Wu Hui walked behind the group and could tell what they were thinking at a glance, which made him chuckle.

With these cultivators' cultivation at the sixth or seventh level of Foundation Establishment, even if they can't become teaching elders, they can still become disciples of the Qingfeng Sect and become protectors or high-ranking stewards. They can enjoy the secret techniques and scriptures of the Qingfeng Sect while also eating vegetables from the Immortal Mountain Farm.

It's definitely worth it.

Wu Hui smiled and shook his head helplessly.

He glanced back at Qingfeng Palace, a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) filling his heart.

With a history of six thousand years and a good relationship with Li Chang'an, the Qingfeng Sect, given time, could become one of the top sects in the Cangxuan Realm.

*

During this period, many independent cultivators have come to apply for teaching positions as elders in the Qingfeng Sect.

Apart from Wu Hui, who is a local of Ling'an City, the other independent cultivators all come from various places in the Cangxuan Realm.

Xie Kuling took the information on the rogue cultivators and went to Xuanling Immortal Mountain with Xie Xuan, intending to find Li Chang'an and Tianxuan to take a look.

"Among the elders who teach mental cultivation techniques and fire-based spells, I prefer this cultivator named Wu Hui." Xie Kuling took out a document.

Li Chang'an was somewhat surprised.

Wu Hui? Is it the Wu Hui he knows?

After reviewing the information, Li Chang'an made up his mind.

"Hiss." He gasped. "The last time I saw this person, he said he was only at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, but now he's already at the Great Perfection."

It's only been a few months!

Xie Kuling raised his eyes: "You've seen him before?"

"He previously traded demon beast cores with me for spirit rice and spirit-grade vegetables, about a thousand catties."

This person must eat spirit rice and spirit vegetables for every meal, and with his regular cultivation, his cultivation level can increase so quickly.

Li Chang'an scratched his head. "Are spirit-grade dishes really that amazing?"

Tianxuan chuckled, "Don't let anyone else hear you say that."

If those people knew that Li Chang'an himself was somewhat surprised to have grown spiritual vegetables, their Dao hearts would probably shatter into pieces.

"Oh, okay." Li Chang'an nodded.

Tianxuan handed Wu Hui's information to Xie Kuling and said, "After Qingfeng Sect opened its gates to recruit disciples, the majority of those who came had fire spirit roots."

“Wu Hui will soon break through to the Golden Core stage. He is the person with the highest cultivation in the Cangxuan Realm besides the Seven Stars of the Alliance and Li Chang’an. With him as the teaching elder, the future of the Qingfeng Sect is limitless.”

Tianxuan spoke with certainty, and the other three people present had no doubts.

"The elder in charge of fire magic will be Wu Hui. As for the elders in charge of the other four types of spiritual roots, I prefer these few..."

Xie Kuling then produced four more documents.

The four cultivators are respectively a single earth spiritual root, a single wood spiritual root, a dual metal and earth spiritual root, and a dual water and wood spiritual root.

Nowadays, geniuses with a single spiritual root are extremely rare in the Cangxuan Realm. Three cultivators with a single spiritual root have come to apply for the position of teaching elder, and Xie Kuling also wants to seize this opportunity.

The other two, though only possessing dual spiritual roots, diligently cultivated and, at around 110 years old, achieved the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. They also had considerable expertise in magical arts and were outstanding talents.

"In addition to the elders in charge of teaching magic cultivation, the sect also needs to recruit some elders in charge of teaching alchemy, weapon crafting, array formation, and talisman techniques."

Xie Kuling has a preferred candidate for the teaching elder position in all four directions.

"Finally, there are the elders who teach divination and prophecy, and the elders who teach sword cultivation..."

Among those who applied for these two types of cultivation positions, those with relatively average talent were mostly ordinary.

Xie Kuling sighed.

Perhaps because he had dealt with the two big shots, Tianxuan and Jianling, he was not very satisfied with the divination and sword cultivators who came to apply for the job.

Tianxuan smiled and said, "Both divination and swordsmanship require extremely high talent. If you are interested, I can go to the Qingfeng Sect and see if there is a disciple with extremely high talent in divination and who is also destined to be with me. I can take him as my personal disciple."

"As for sword cultivators... even six thousand years ago, only those with a single metal spiritual root could become sword cultivators, possessing the extremely high talent you imagine. But now, there are no more cultivators with a single metal spiritual root in the Cangxuan Realm."

The sword cultivators of today are actually cultivators with a metal element in their dual spiritual roots, but they can only use swords as weapons and perform sword moves. They are not true sword cultivators in the same sense as those from six thousand years ago.

Tianxuan comforted him, "So, picking a sword cultivator with good talent from among these applicants should be enough."

Li Changan listened quietly to their conversation, raising his hand to scratch his temple.

When Xie Kuling mentioned the elders who taught sword cultivators, the image of the sword spirit appeared in his mind.

only……

Li Chang'an recalled the way the sword spirit usually taught him; after teaching him sword techniques, it basically left him to his own devices.

I feel like if I suggested that the Blade Spirit senior take over as instructor... I'd probably get a glare.

Therefore, Li Chang'an did not mention it.

After finalizing the list of teaching elders to be hired, Xie Kuling and Xie Xuan left Xuanling Immortal Mountain and sent messages to all the cultivators there.

Ten elders were invited to teach, and they all arrived at Qingfeng Sect two days later.

The dormitories of the ten teaching elders are all located on the main peak of the Qingfeng Sect, with each person having their own courtyard.

After settling the teaching elders, Xie Kuling posted information on both mobile devices, including WeChat and Weibo, announcing the opening of the mountain gate and the recruitment of disciples.

Once the information was sent out, people flocked to the Qingfeng Sect.

The original twenty disciples gradually awakened their spiritual roots. Xie Kuling went to the ordinary school to process the withdrawal of the underage disciples, and from then on, they would begin to study cultivation.

A month later, the Qingfeng Sect had recruited more than 300 six-year-old disciples who had newly awakened spiritual roots, and more than 200 independent disciples who already had cultivation.

With more manpower, another dining hall was opened on the main peak of the Qingfeng Sect.

The two dining halls on the main peak are open to the public, while the disciples of the sect eat in the dining hall on the east secondary peak.

Therefore, Li Chang'an provided more dishes to the Qingfeng faction.

Before I knew it, I had been at Xuanling Immortal Mountain for over a year.

Li Chang'an's live streaming contract with his original entertainment company has also expired.

He personally went to the company to handle the aftermath and then went to his dormitory to retrieve his belongings.

Although he doesn't live here, the company hasn't taken back his dormitory or let anyone else move in.

After all, Li Chang'an's live streaming had earned the company a lot of money that year.

Li Chang'an had already earned enough of the 500,000 yuan stipulated in the contract.

He didn't terminate the contract in advance because his agent, Li Wei, took good care of him. Instead, he would advise his fans to consume rationally during the live streams, which allowed him to stream for a longer period and earn more money for the company.

When Li Chang'an arrived at the company, all the senior executives came and tried to persuade him to continue live streaming.

The company president also said, "We can change the profit-sharing arrangement so you can get a larger share, how about that?"

"Mr. You, there's no need." Li Chang'an declined with a smile, took his things and left, and no one dared to stop him.

He actually kept very few items in his dormitory, just some clothes and photos of himself with his family when he was a child.

Now, those clothes are hanging in his wardrobe at his home in Xuanling Immortal Mountain, and the group photo is placed on the headboard.

Li Chang'an owns all the accounts on Wego and Yinfu, since he has always been relatively unknown, and the company never considered having someone else manage his accounts.

When his contract with the company expired, his certifications on Weige and Yinfu disappeared. At the same time, he received many private messages from other companies in the background, wanting to sign contracts with him.

Li Chang'an didn't reply to any of them.

He started a live stream, turned off the donation feature, and showed his fans the scenery of Xuanling Immortal Mountain.

By the time we reached the East Floating Island from the terraced fields of Wolushan, the sun was already almost setting.

As the golden-red sunset shone on the island, Li Chang'an keenly sensed that something was amiss.

He temporarily turned off the live stream camera and walked closer to the paddy field.

The rice paddies shimmered with golden light, mingling with the setting sun, making it impossible to tell which radiance was more dazzling.

Li Chang'an remembers that the Lingdao plant emitted a five-colored light.

What is this golden light?

He slowly approached, and golden particles from the basic manual flew out, forming an introduction:

【Immortal Rice】: A low-level immortal plant cultivated artificially, belonging to the water element. Harvesting it requires consideration of the five elements' mutual restraint. Note: Harvesting plants with conflicting attributes will cause them to wither.
