Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Qin Yi had no sense of belonging, and Ju Yunxiu didn't actually treat him as a fellow apprentice. At most, she just treated it as recruiting a senior employee that fit her requirements.

They were just junior and senior by the title.

It didn't matter.

When a new employee joined a company, it was impossible for him to treat the company as his own home and call the minister his brother.

Relationships needed to be cultivated. They were just getting what they needed right now. 

Liu Su had been advising Qin Yi to join the sect without a guarantee that he would have everything, why?

The path of cultivation paid attention to "wealth, partner, law, and land".

"Wealth" was money at the low-level stage, but at a certain level, it was resources and treasures. Unless a casual cultivator had dumb luck, his resources were certainly incomparable to those of other large sects.

"Companion" did not refer to the relationship between a man and a woman. The original meaning was like-minded people who could study together and inspire each other. When one encountered confusion, someone would advise him. When he encountered a problem, someone would help him to solve it. When he encountered an enemy, they could fight together. Of course, there was nothing wrong with saying it as an intimate relationship.

"Law" was cultivation method. Whether it was core spells, application spells, or all kinds of weird cultivation methods, it was all law. No matter how talented one was, he couldn't rely solely on self-enlightenment. If he didn't have a master, he must at least have a secret manual.

"Land" referred to a cultivating place, which might not necessarily be a blessed land. In short, it must be something that was beneficial to cultivating. The cave houses of the ancient corpse were too kind. It was not really a suitable place for cultivation. If Qin Yi wanted a suitable place, he either had to try his luck in other ruins, or he could find a land full of aura that was unoccupied yet, or he could join a sect.

Otherwise, why would people say that casual cultivators were the most miserable? They only had the advantage of being free, but no one saw their hardships.

This was why the big sects could produce so many talents.

Qin Yi had Liu Su, so "law" was not a problem. Liu Su was half a "companion". Although it was both teacher and friend, their fundamental values weare far apart. They were in disagreement in the earlier days. Now they reconciled due to the deepening of their relationship, but they were not like-minded.

At least they could keep each other company.

And "wealth" and "land" were things Qin Yi had always lacked.

Qin Yi really needed a solid place to cultivate unlike the ancient corpse cave house that had basically nothing, but something with all the facilities he wanted.

Just like ordinary people living in, sunlight and ventilation were the basics. Kitchen, bathroom, balcony, and various furniture must be available.

For the basic facilities in cave houses, it should absolutely be freed from external disturbances and full of aura. Many facilities were needed too.

For example, a good alchemy cauldron, an earth fire, as well as a medical garden with fertile spiritual soil and various kinds of medicinal seeds.

For example, a full-time illusion that could hone divine thought.

For example, a place that could refine enchanted weapons. Thunder for forging, fire for refining, ice for condensation, and water for cooling. All these should be available.

He also needed a dedicated training area that could provide combat training or sparring puppets or people, rather than practicing air-to-air on his own.

Of course, protection array and enchantment were indispensable.

This was the "land" that could be a permanent residence.

Now that Qin Yi thought about it, the ancient corpse's cave house was more like a tomb prepared for himself, so he ignored the facilities that could help improve him.

This newly named Mount Passerby and Cave House Passerby had all these things.

"This is the Red Lotus Heart Fire." Qing Feng pointed to the faint red clouds underground in the alchemy room and introduced, "This is the fire seed that the former peak master moved from elsewhere. It is now sealed underground and can be unlocked when used. The temperature in the center of the fire is extremely high, but it is not violent, and it is also efficient in refining elixirs."

Ming Yue also introduced, "This is the Purple Gold Beast Head Cauldron, which also has the effect of stimulating elixir formation. It is also considered the top grade alchemy cauldron in our sect. In the past, people from the Medical Divination Sect always wanted to get it, but they were all driven back by Sect Master…”

Qin Yi's heart moved slightly, "Will other peaks come here to ask for things?"

"Of course." Qing Feng said, "There are not many people in our sect, but there are many cave houses and treasures left behind. For the entire Immortal Palace, it is also a waste of resources. The others are of course envy. Even Palace Master has spoken to the Sect Master several times, hoping that she would give up some mountains.”

Ming Yue continued, "Sect Master said that it is easy to give away but difficult to take them back. What if the sect grows in the future and someone needs it? So she firmly refused."

Qing Feng added, "Sect Master also said that it is not a waste to wait for a fate, but it is a real waste to consume some waste things. If she can't see it, she can also use the excuse that no waste is allowed. Grab them all? Palace Master was speechless by her, so the matter has been put on hold."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Your Palace Master is really easy to talk to."

"It's not that Palace Master is easy to talk to. Radiant Yang Stage cultivators aren't that many in the entire Immortal Realm. They are all the backbone of large sects. In ordinary sects, they are even grand elders. In some small sects, even Cloud Riding Stage are grand elders. Although our Myriad Tao Immortal Palace is considered a big sect, Radiant Yang Stage cultivators are rare too. Any disagreement will cause a loss to our Immortal Palace. Palace Master is unwilling to see that. Instead, he will sometimes lean toward our sect master to appease her."

"If someone else intends to use seemingly defensible methods such as marriage proposals or bets to obtain something belonging to the sect, Palace Master will not care about it as long as there is no real conflict."

Qin Yi nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

Wherever there re people, there are conflicts. It is understandable why Ju Yunxiu needs me. She must be very annoyed that her sleep is affected. With me here, at least I can deal with the low level situations...

Generally speaking, although this Myriad Tao Immortal Palace is not a righteous sect, there are still rules.

By the way, Myriad Tao Immortal Palace is stronger than I thought. There seem to be several Radiant Yang Stage. Maybe the Palace Master is even stronger. For such a large sect, it's too easy for me to join without a difficult selection test.

In fact, Qin Yi didn't know enough about his own strengths. He still regarded himself as a rookie.

A casual cultivator with the heaven spiritual root, seventeen-year-old bone age, immortal-martial arts dual cultivation, and advanced to the Piano Heart Stage. He was a treasure wherever he went. If he ever went to the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace, he would be valued too. General sects might not even consider his character. Myriad Tao Immortal Palace would still consider whether he was compatible with its tao. Ju Yunxiu even specifically tested his character. This was already a difficult test.

If they really organized a difficult selection, they would be out of their mind.

As for the sense of belonging to the sect, everyone was the same at first. It needed to be cultivated.

Qin Yi walked through the cave house with two attendants to get familiar with it. He was quite satisfied. With such a cave house, if nothing unexpected happened, he could probably train until the Radiant Yang Stage.

But he had just arrived, so he lacked many things such as medicinal materials, seeds, and the materials to forge an enchanted weapon.

He had to ask Ju Yunxiu if he could get them or if there was some other way to obtain them.

Just as he thought so, he heard someone shouting from outside the mountain, "Is there a new owner of Peak 91? I'm to visit and get to know each other."

Qin Yi touched his chin and did not respond immediately.

If he hadn't heard about the little friction between Ju Yunxiu and other fellow cultivators, then he would definitely treat him as a fellow apprentice and receive him warmly.

But now that he knew it, the purpose of his person might not be to visit, but trying to scam him.

He asked Qing Feng and Ming Yue, "You said before that this peak is at the opposite of the medical, divination, scheming, and planning sect?"

"Yes, after this peak is the scope of medical, divination, scheming, and planning sect."

"So I'm a guard." Qin Yi grinned, "Senior Sister Yunxiu is really bold."
