Chapter 211: Troubles for Shangyang Sect
🕑 Added 2024-09-19 06:18:51 +0000 UTC"Who did this? Who?!"
The man in the purple robe fumed with rage, his chest heaving with anger as he stared at the blocked entrance of the cave. Someone had discovered his long-hidden spirit stone mine and not only emptied it but also sealed it off with rocks!
His fury was like a fire burning within him, threatening to burst forth at any moment.
He swore to find the culprits who had stolen his spirit stones. He would track them down, retrieve his mine, and obliterate those responsible!
With a dark expression, the man in purple turned away from the sealed cave and headed towards the marketplace in Liaoju Prefecture.
Disguising himself in various forms, he began to gather information quietly within the city.
It didn't take long for him to piece together what had transpired in the southern forest over the past few months.
His anger intensified.
He couldn’t believe that in the ten short years he had spent in seclusion, his precious spirit stone mine had been stolen!
Shangyang Sect...
Hmph!
A mere mortal sect dared to lay hands on his property.
Wei Hai, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was not someone to be trifled with even in the cultivation world. Yet, this insignificant mortal sect had the audacity to provoke him.
The more Wei Hai thought about it, the angrier he became.
He decided to unleash his fury on Shangyang Sect.
With a flick of his sleeve, he flew towards Shangyang Sect.
Though the exact locations of the three major sects within the Pusi Kingdom were generally unknown to the public, they were no secret to Wei Hai.
After all, centuries ago, he had been a disciple of Yunyin Sect, one of the three major sects.
But fate had led him to the cultivation world, and he had never returned to his sect. Instead, he continued his cultivation journey in the broader cultivation world.
The spirit stone mine was something he had discovered by chance during a mission as a Yunyin Sect disciple.
At that time, he had been both shocked and overjoyed to find the untouched mine. He believed it was a divine gift, a blessing to aid his cultivation.
After defecting to the cultivation world, he had achieved Foundation Establishment not long after. He would often return to the mine to gather resources for his cultivation needs.
But Wei Hai was ambitious. He hadn’t recklessly depleted the mine during his cultivation. Instead, he carefully managed it.
Once he had secured a steady source of resources in the cultivation world, he rarely used the mine anymore.
However, because the mine was located in the mortal realm, where he couldn't easily transport it to the cultivation world, he kept a close eye on the three major sects in the area.
Back during his Golden Core stage, he had meticulously investigated the locations of Shangyang Sect and Qinghe Sect.
He never imagined that the information he had gathered back then would prove useful today.
Thinking of how much Shangyang Sect might have consumed from his spirit stone mine in the past few months, Wei Hai felt a sharp pain in his heart.
No matter how much they had taken, he would make sure they paid back with interest!
A Nascent Soul cultivator’s speed was incomparable to that of Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Although Shangyang Sect was several thousand miles away from Liaoju Prefecture, Wei Hai reached it in just an hour.
Located in a remote, mountainous area, far from any towns or villages, Shangyang Sect sat atop a towering peak that reached into the clouds.
At the foot of the mountain, as far as the eye could see, were lush spiritual fields.
Some Qi Refining cultivators could be seen using spells to water the fields.
Wei Hai arrived at the sect's entrance, where two Qi Refining disciples were dozing off while on guard duty. He couldn’t help but feel disdain for the sect.
Judging by the appearance of the gatekeepers, he could already tell what kind of sect this was.
Having dealt with numerous sects in the cultivation world, he had learned that the quality of gatekeepers often reflected the sect's overall status.
Without further ado, Wei Hai flew directly to the entrance of the sect, his voice booming as he shouted:
"Where is the sect master of Shangyang Sect? Get out here!"
At the same time, he unleashed his Nascent Soul-level aura.
The two dozing disciples were caught off guard, and the overwhelming pressure caused them to foam at the mouth and collapse, unconscious.
In recent days, everything at Lingxian Sect had been peaceful and orderly.
Everyone was diligently focused on their cultivation.
All sect affairs were running smoothly under Liu Yunan’s leadership, following the plans Lin Xiao had discussed with them.
Because Lin Xiao’s seclusion place was located behind Guiyuan Mountain, within the sect, everyone felt as if he were still nearby.
Even Lin Dayou had no worries.
His son was just behind that small hill, inside a cave.
Although he couldn’t disturb Lin Xiao, whenever he missed his son, he would stroll to the cave entrance.
The entire Lingxian Sect radiated harmony and contentment.
However, Lin Da Bo was the only one feeling troubled lately.
He had noticed that his cultivation progress was much slower than expected.
It had been seven days since his family decided to join the sect and start cultivating.
In those seven days, even his elderly father, Old Lin, had learned to recognize some characters and could manage to read the first few pages of the cultivation method.
But Lin Da Bo still struggled to recognize and remember the characters in the first paragraph.
Despite the patience and encouragement of the other sect members, Lin Da Bo couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
To make up for it, he took on every task he could find and privately asked his family for extra help.
Seeing his efforts, the others redoubled their efforts to teach him, going out of their way to support him.
Perhaps it was due to the natural learning ability of children, but thirteen-year-old Lin Yan was the first in the Lin family to successfully introduce spiritual energy into her body.
The second person to achieve this, however, was someone no one had expected—Old Lady Lin.
No one was more surprised than the two cultivators from the cultivation world, Liu Chun and Liao Pantou.
After all, Old Lady Lin was already fifty-one years old.
In their understanding, the older someone was, the harder it was to cultivate.
In the past, they would have considered anyone over twenty too old to start cultivation.
However, because of the presence of Lin Dayou and Yang Jinshu in the sect, Liao Pantou had somewhat anticipated this outcome.
But Liu Chun hadn’t.
Since he hadn’t been in the sect for long, it wasn’t as if he could go around asking everyone how long they had been cultivating.
So, he hadn’t been aware of the situation.
When he saw Old Lady Lin successfully introducing spiritual energy into her body in just a few days, it completely overturned everything he had known for decades.
