A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

Everyone was queuing up to receive the sect's supplies, including Du Shuangshuang and her group. Each person presented their ID badge to receive a storage bag, and Du Shuangshuang happily accepted the bag the steward handed her. The supplies for the newcomers were taken from a separate box, unlike the others. Since they were all newcomers, their supplies were definitely different.

Inside were two sets of light gray robes, two pairs of boots, and an introductory cultivation manual. There was also a body-building manual, said to share a common origin with the Tyrant Body Sect's techniques, though a distinct branch. This manual focused on internal training of the muscles, bones, and skin, strengthening the entire body through energy refining, achieving a strong physique without significantly affecting one's physical size. However, the process was more protracted and the effects were slower to show, making it suitable as a supplementary method rather than a primary one. However, it was said that if mastered, the results were comparable to those of the Tyrant Body Sect's techniques.

The Tyrant Body Sect is also one of the second-rate sects in the world of immortal cultivation. It is also very powerful. It is the strongest sect among the sects that focus on physical training. It can also be said to be the benchmark for physical training in the world of immortal cultivation. Moreover, in the current world of immortal cultivation, although there are more magic cultivators, everyone also advocates physical training. Many sects encourage the dual cultivation of magic and body. After all, magic cultivators are too fragile. Spending some energy on physical training in addition to cultivation can also have a certain auxiliary effect on cultivation. In addition to being able to withstand more damage, a strong physique is also more conducive to the success rate of transcending tribulation. After finally cultivating to a high level, it was struck to death by thunder tribulation. Don’t you think it’s unfair? In addition, a strong physique makes the meridians more open and strong, and cultivation is smoother.

Du Shuangshuang carefully reviewed the Dao Sect's sect rules. Regarding the sect's apprenticeship regulations, apprenticeship must be based on the sect's assessment, and both parties must agree. Forced apprenticeship is not permitted. Unbeknownst to Du Shuangshuang, the sect also had specific instructions regarding this temporary recruitment of disciples. Prior to returning to the sect for assessment, no one was allowed to have private contact with these disciples unless absolutely necessary. This served to protect the sect, preventing personal oversight that could allow spies to infiltrate, and also to prevent others from coveting the newcomers' supplies. There were also five low-grade spirit stones, this month's allotment. Du Shuangshuang wanted to complain that it was too little, but even a mosquito leg was still meat. There were no elixirs, however. Du Shuangshuang assumed that resources were limited, and once the personnel entering the secret realm were confirmed, elixirs would likely be needed immediately.

Originally, he had four bottles of first-grade Soul-Replenishing Pills, all of them top-grade. Plus the ones Ling Xiao Zhenren had given Du Shuangshuang, who had previously refused them, Chu Yue had given them to her anyway. "Think of them as Uncle Chu's, don't think too much of them." Now, he had six bottles of top-grade Soul-Replenishing Pills. The Rejuvenating Pills, combined with his existing supplies, made it seven. He also had five bottles of top-grade Blood-Replenishing Pills. They were still useful for him now, but if he reached the secret realm and established his foundation, they wouldn't be of much use. Du Shuangshuang planned to give some to her second uncle after returning.

It's said that top-grade elixirs are virtually free of toxins and twice as effective as lower-grade elixirs. However, the accumulation of toxins is a serious threat. While each major level advancement expels some impurities and toxins from the body, it can't completely clear them out, leaving some residue. The more toxins accumulate within the body, the more they remain. Excessive toxin accumulation can, at best, hinder spiritual energy absorption and advancement, and, at worst, lead to blocked meridians, stagnant cultivation, and the inability to advance.

After receiving these things, the group went to the side to line up for spiritual food. Most people were given fasting pills directly. When it came to Du Shuangshuang and her group, the manager took a look and saw that the younger ones were given spiritual food in jade boxes, one box per person, while the others were given fasting pills.

After receiving her items, Du Shuangshuang opened the box and took a look. Inside were spirit noodle buns and spirit rice cakes. On the way back, out of curiosity, Du Shuangshuang took one out to try. Hmm, it tasted pretty good, but it had no filling, which was a bit of a shame. But it was still good, made with spirit rice and spirit noodles. It was perfect with the mutton soup and mutton tonight!

Tomorrow, I'll have to go to Duobao Pavilion to buy some spiritual rice and noodles, as well as some spiritual beast meat, and prepare them. Previously, I prepared ordinary food devoid of spiritual energy and filled with impurities, making it unsuitable for cultivators. Du Shuangshuang decided not to eat that food anymore and would share it with the servants without spiritual roots. Now that I have the conditions, I'll switch to spiritual food for Grandpa. His health will definitely improve.

The entire Du family then actively cultivated, practicing spells, physical techniques, and so on, consistently making progress. The two newly discovered guards with spiritual roots also began training, though they were still searching for their sense of Qi. Jinxiu, on the other hand, couldn't cultivate yet. She couldn't begin until she activated her hidden fire spiritual root, but she was constantly practicing her physical techniques. Even the others, while practicing mortal martial arts, were also practicing their physical techniques. Those who had already begun training had switched to the ethereal and invisible technique, which, with the help of spiritual energy, was even more powerful.

Inside the large tent, the servants were busy preparing various delicacies. The magical rice from the immortal realm was truly special. The steamed rice was so fragrant it made one's mouth water. The magical buns were also delicious, far superior to the ones previously distributed by the sect. Then came the steamed buns, cakes, and dim sum. The aroma wafted far from the tent, whetting the appetites of many. This wasn't a food court where one could just pay for a meal. Who could stand smelling something but not being able to eat? So many people avoided the area.

But even more outrageous things came: the wafting aroma of big bone soup, hot pot, stir-fried spiritual lamb with scallions, cumin lamb, lamb buns, spiritual chicken soup, stewed spiritual chicken, and grilled skewers. The aroma enveloped the entire camp, making it impossible to escape. The disciples' faces were filled with resentment, but they couldn't find the culprit to blame. How could you deny someone a meal? If they wanted to, they could just make it themselves, but they couldn't. Even their own monsters would despise the food they made.

Of course, some people made something decent, so they tried to make something to comfort themselves, but most people could only grill meat, and their skills were really average. So many people in the camp started making food, and the aroma in the air told them that this was made by themselves, how delicious it was.

A massive spaceship was hurtling through the clouds at an incredible speed. Several people on the deck leaned against the side, admiring the extraordinary scenery. It was obvious they were new to the spaceship, their hearts awestruck. Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Wow! Look! Look! Is that the legendary dragon?" At that moment, the spaceship's protective shields suddenly appeared several layers taller, and three people from the third deck flew down onto the deck.

Several children gathered around and looked in the direction the boy was looking, "It's a dragon, it's really a dragon, a giant black dragon." No one had ever seen a dragon before, and it looked just like the one the old man described!

"what....."

Unexpectedly, a massive black dragon charged directly at the ship. Bang! A loud bang! The ship shook. Fortunately, the ship was massive, so it didn't cause too much of a shock. Several more black vultures appeared and attacked the ship, causing only a slight ripple on the protective shield before returning to normal.

One man flew up and directly confronted the dragon-like beast, which was actually a black python. Another man flew up and confronted the vultures.

In the distance, a huge palm print rose into the air and slapped the spaceship. The new disciples on the deck were already terrified. Some of them were smart enough to run to the cabin as soon as they found something wrong. The rest of them had already collapsed on the deck and were thrown back into the cabin one by one.

The men on the deck threw the young disciples into the cabin and stood motionless, clutching their giant swords. With a bang, the spaceship's shield flickered briefly before returning to calm.

"With such limited ability, you come to attack our Dao Sect's spaceship?" said the man holding the giant sword.

At this time, Master Yunshang had also arranged the new disciples and ran out.

"It's the Demon Sect again. These people really won't give up."

Three people emerged from the clouds not far away, "Haha, let's do it again."

This time, a palm print, followed by a skeleton, and a golden corpse attacked together. This time, the man holding the sword flew up, swung his sword, the palm print dispersed, the skeleton was shot down, and only a golden corpse rushed over, continuously attacking the protective shield of the spacecraft. The shield just kept flashing, but was not defeated.

Then another sword was drawn, and the golden corpse was blown far away by the sword energy.

Immediately afterwards, twenty or so demon cultivators ran out. All of these demon cultivators were at the Jindan stage. Just looking at the number of people, the difference between the two sides was huge.

"How shameless! After losing the fight to steal someone, you come here to kill them halfway. You demon cultivators really have no bottom line!"

"Shameless? Who is shameless? How many of these young disciples have just begun their cultivation? Some haven't even started yet, and you're sending them into the secret realm to die. Where's your conscience? And you still call yourselves the orthodox Taoist sect."

"You're talking as if you'll let them go if we don't take them in. And you're still talking about conscience? Do you have any heart? Landing in the Dao Sect is at least better than entering the Demon Sect. You Demon Sect refine corpses and souls. Who knows if they'll go through the dangers of the secret realm and come back as refined corpses in your hands? Or the wronged souls trapped in the soul banners, who knows if they'll even die a good death."

Before the two sides could come to a conclusion about what was going on, the spaceship was suddenly surrounded by darkness, as if it had entered another dimension, with ghosts howling everywhere.

"These shameless villains actually set up a formation!" Yunshang Zhenren jumped up in anger.

"It's okay." The man holding the sword said calmly.

"Oh, Big Brother, I know that too, but I just can't help but get angry!" Master Yunshang said unhappily.

The man holding the sword glanced at her without saying anything. He was afraid that the other party would get even angrier later, and he didn't know whether Master Xuancheng would give them a chance to get angry.

Soon, a raging fire ignited outside the spaceship. The flames shot up into the sky and illuminated the spaceship, but did not touch the spaceship at all, and not even a trace of heat could be felt.

"Haha, shouldn't we thank you for helping me collect so many souls? Today, you all stay here and replenish my soul flag with new souls."

Then ripples spread out in circles. Before the people outside the formation could rejoice, a fire dragon rushed through the formation and finally destroyed the entire formation.

"They actually have Nascent Soul cultivators personally protecting them, just for these little brats that haven't grown up yet?" One of them said in disbelief.

"Hmph, you're looking for death!" The fire dragon rushed straight towards the few people. The golden elixirs that came later were all fake golden elixirs that were blessed by the formation. Even the real golden elixirs could not withstand it. Before they could escape, they all turned into a wisp of flying ash. The few real golden elixirs also fled in all directions under the pursuit of the fire dragon, but they were also more or less injured.

And the injuries were all serious. This was even though True Lord Xuancheng held back. If they were all killed, what if that group went mad and lost their minds, and started a massacre in the secret realm? These young disciples would be the ones to suffer. I have to tell the veteran disciples later that no matter which sect they belong to, they must be extra careful with the new disciples entering the secret realm. Of course, the Demon Sect couldn't just attack the Dao Sect's spaceship; I'm afraid other sects wouldn't be spared either. So we must unite and save as many of the new generation as possible.

The two people who had just flown out to deal with the monster also caught up at this time. After returning to the spaceship, all of them continued on their journey unharmed.
