The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

The senior brother who had reacted looked at the two of them, "You are actually outer disciples!?"

Li Xuan had an innocent look on his face and asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Xie Yu remained silent, just staring at this seemingly unreliable senior brother.

He shook his head: "No, nothing..."

After realizing that the two people in front of him seemed no simple matter, he cheered up and began to lead them through the procedures.

"Come with me. According to the rules of Qingyun Sect, menial disciples can receive the 'Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique' and some resources. But this clearly doesn't suit your status. Outer disciples can receive the 'Return to Origin Technique' and a 'Qingyun Sword Technique' from the Sutra Library."

This senior brother explained it in quite some detail, and did not even skip over the benefits of menial disciples.

In addition to the exercises, outer disciples can receive one hundred low-grade spirit stones from the sect's logistics department every month for cultivation.

But this amount of spirit stones is obviously not enough. At this time, the importance of the sect's mission is self-evident.

If you want to become stronger, you must constantly complete sect tasks, obtain cultivation resources, and then challenge more difficult and more rewarding tasks.

Most people unfortunately die in this cycle, but some people are able to break free from this cycle, stand out, and become ancestors-level beings supported by the sect.

I don’t know if it’s because of Li Xuan and Jie Lu’s identities, but this senior brother’s service is so attentive.

After personally taking them to the library to receive the basic skills, he took them to the place where the disciples' dormitories were assigned.

Originally, the remaining tasks could have been handed over to others at this point, but this senior brother eagerly took on the task, saying, "It's just work anyway, and I've been with them for a while already. Leave it to me, and I can even better introduce Qingyun Sect!"

After some righteous words, the disciple in charge of allocating accommodation had no choice but to hand over the accommodation to that senior brother.

Otherwise, being labeled as someone who doesn't unite with their fellow disciples would be troublesome. Furthermore, this kind of thing was originally their job, and now that someone wants to take over, they are happy to do it.

In the Qingyun Sect, menial disciples live in large dormitories. They don’t have to pay rent for such rooms, but they need to do miscellaneous work for the sect, which most people can’t endure.

After a day of hard work, how could an ordinary person have the energy to practice the "Five Elements Qi Gathering Technique"?

But it is different for outer disciples. Compared with temporary workers such as menial disciples, outer disciples are already contract workers of the sect in terms of treatment and training conditions.

The sect will provide outer disciples with certain resources, and there will also be corresponding classes to teach them how to practice.

What the outer sect disciples need to do is to complete countless sect tasks and constantly improve themselves in the process, from the outer sect to the inner sect, and then from the inner sect to become true disciples.

Finally, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, one can become one of the partners of the sect, exploit the ordinary disciples below, and receive support from most people.

Of course, simply becoming an elder doesn't mean you can sit back and relax.

At this time, while enjoying the sect's supplies, they also need to fulfill certain obligations and contribute their own strength to the sect.

In short, cultivation is a road of no return. No matter how high you climb, there will always be someone pressing down on you.

……

The senior brother who accepted the task of leading the people sent the two of them into the room before leaving reluctantly. If Li Xuan or Jie Yanyan said that they wanted to keep him for dinner, he would definitely go in without hesitation.

But unfortunately, the two of them did not give him the opportunity to enhance their relationship.

In the end, he could only leave with regret and said to them, "If you have any questions in the future, you can leave a message in the Mission Hall. I'm usually doing missions, so I'll come to you if I see it."

After finally sending this senior brother away, Li Xuan and Jie Lu were finally able to take a break.

After they closed the door, they began to carefully examine the courtyard with two rooms.

According to the introduction of that senior brother, this is a rare courtyard house in Qingyun Sect.

One room faces the gate, and the other room is on the left side of the gate.

There is an open space in the middle, and a sturdy jujube tree is planted against the wall. It looks like it is at least ten years old.

Although this house looks very exquisite, it is actually not that good. After all, for cultivators, spiritual energy is the most precious thing. Although this place is located in the mountains, the spiritual energy is not strong, and spiritual stones are still needed to assist in cultivation.

Jie Xu had remained silent from the beginning. After entering, he finally asked Li Xuan, "Is this the Immortal Tomb? Why does it feel like this is a real world?"

Li Xuan was surprised that Jie Li would ask this question, but on second thought, it seemed normal. This place was so real that it was hard to imagine that this was the scene in that white nebula.

The most unreasonable thing is that this place is clearly called the Immortal Tomb, but it doesn't look like one at all. Everyone here is alive. Not only do they have their own culture and cultivation system, but everyone even has their own personality. It doesn't look like a tomb at all, but more like an independent world.

The only other world Jie had ever been to was Fairy Tail, and his knowledge of this kind of world of cultivation was almost zero. But Li Xuan himself had never been to such a world, so explaining it was a bit difficult. Fortunately, he had found the direction.

"According to a novel I once read called 'The Only Immortal in the Universe', this world should be a system of cultivating immortals, which is the kind of world the protagonist of that novel should be in."

Xie Li nodded, then asked, "So, why is the Immortal Tomb like this?"

Li Xuan continued to explain: "I suspect that this immortal tomb may be a small world. After all, the power of immortals is more terrifying than that of tenth-level strongmen. Creating such a world should not be a problem."

"Generally speaking, these powerful individuals usually stay in this world to seek successors. To obtain the inheritance, one must meet certain conditions in this world."

Jie Yu rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. "So, what we need now is to become stronger in this world, and then obtain the inheritance, or wait until someone else obtains the inheritance before we can leave?"

Li Xuan nodded and said, "That's pretty much what I mean. But if that's the case, it seems Hawkeye and the others wouldn't be so afraid of this place. Could there be other hidden dangers?"

Xie Li looked up at the sky, then said to Li Xuan, "No matter what, our first priority should be improving our own cultivation. Otherwise, if we encounter danger in the future, we won't even have a chance to escape."

Li Xuan fully agreed with Jie Li's statement. No matter which world it is, the strong prey on the weak, and this is especially true in the world of immortal cultivation.

Although no one knows how the spiritual energy in the Immortal Tomb World circulates, there is no doubt that everyone will compete for cultivation resources. The stronger the person, the more resources they will get, and the fewer people will spy on them.

This is a pure competition of strength, and the one with the bigger fist has the upper hand.

After the two finished their discussion, they returned to their respective rooms and began to practice.

For unknown reasons, they possessed the cultivation of innate warriors from this world. Although they were at the mortal level, they had cultivated true qi and possessed a certain level of combat capability.

But in this world's cultivation system, even martial artists can definitely not beat immortal cultivators. Just from the upper limit, the two cannot be compared with each other.

So what they have to do is to practice the Qingyun technique, "Guiqi Jue" first.

After Li Xuan opened it, he found that he knew every word on it, but some of them were difficult to understand. After reading it several times, he still didn't understand it.

"Is my understanding so poor? Or is it because I've never been exposed to this before, so I'm not interested in these things?"

Seeing that he could not practice for the time being, Li Xuan directly took out another copy of "Qingyun Sword Technique" that he had received from the library. This time he could understand everything.

As for the spiritual energy that needs to be mobilized, it can also be replaced by the true energy in the body, but it will lack in power.

But this is not important. The most important thing now is to obtain the method to condense the Wheel of Merit.

In the immortal cultivation system, the existence of merit is very important. People with great merit can eliminate disasters and difficulties, be immune to all calamities, and even get some help in cultivation.

Li Xuan had read the entire "Qingyun Sword Technique" in less than an incense stick of time.

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged, thinking carefully in his mind and practicing this sword technique.
