I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

As his cultivation broke through to the seventh level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, Fengchuan's dantian began to expand rapidly once again.

400 li, 500 li, 1000 li, 1500 li...

It only stopped when the dantian expanded to 1800 li.

Breaking through from the mid-stage to the late-stage of Spirit Gathering is a crucial point in the Spirit Gathering process.

This breakthrough will have a more significant impact than ever before.

Expanding the dantian is secondary, because the dantian doesn't have a particularly large impact on subsequent realms.

What truly influences subsequent realms is spiritual consciousness.

For most Spirit Gathering cultivators, breaking through to the seventh level of Spirit Gathering is a stage for rapidly enhancing their spiritual awareness.

Although all Spirit Gathering cultivators will open their spiritual sense in the early stages, most of them have a relatively weak spiritual sense during this period.

Only after reaching the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering realm and undergoing nurturing through three realms will it gradually grow stronger.

Then comes the later stage of Spirit Gathering, which is the period of rapid growth.

Therefore, breaking through from the sixth to the seventh level of the Spirit Gathering Realm is of paramount importance for any Spirit Gathering cultivator.

This is related to the success or failure of subsequent foundation building, as well as the strength of the foundation.

If one's spiritual awareness is not sufficiently developed during the Spirit Gathering stage, one will be unable to break through the obstacles and open the divine consciousness space when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Without being able to open the divine consciousness space, there is no way to build a foundation for the Great Dao.

Because the foundation of the Great Dao resides within the space of divine consciousness, only by preserving the spirit can one inherit the Great Dao.

Without opening the spiritual space, the foundation building process is destined to fail.

Therefore, there are countless Spirit Gathering cultivators, and tens of millions of them reach the peak of Spirit Gathering.

They were stuck at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage, unable to make any further progress.

It's not that they don't want to enter, nor that their level of understanding is insufficient.

After all, they've already reached the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage. Apart from Foundation Establishment, where else can they further improve their cultivation level?

They knew that without sufficient spiritual accumulation, they were unable and dared not take that step.

Therefore, one can only stay there for a long time to gather spiritual energy and accumulate it slowly.

If you force a breakthrough, the chances of success are very small! There are only three possible outcomes.

Either their spiritual awareness is depleted, and their cultivation level regresses;

Either the foundation is completely destroyed, and the path is cut off;

There are also instances of spiritual energy turmoil, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's spiritual energy.

When Fengchuan broke through to the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, his spiritual sense could already spread out over a range of 100 zhang.

Now that he has broken through to the seventh level, he is trying to spread his spiritual consciousness.

Boom~

100 feet, 500 feet, 1000 feet.

Good heavens, it covers an area of ​​a thousand feet.

This is something that even many cultivators at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage wouldn't dare to dream of!

If their spiritual senses could cover a range of a thousand feet, why would they waste their time in the Spirit Gathering Realm? They would have already gone to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Yes, Fengchuan's spiritual awareness at this moment far surpasses that of countless Spirit Gathering cultivators.

However, he was not deeply moved.

Isn't the purpose of cultivating oneself to this point to lay the foundation for going further?

Moreover, this is not enough, far from enough!

He wanted to lay an unparalleled foundation for himself and build an unparalleled platform.

He will climb step by step to reach the summit.

Therefore, he no longer feels complacent about his current achievements.

He possesses a physique rarely seen in history, and even more so, an exceptional talent unlike any other.

If even this cannot achieve immortality, then it would be a waste of resources.

Therefore, he feels that his current achievements are not enough.

He needs to accumulate more strength and more resources.

After half a month, I finally stabilized my current level of mastery.

The million spirit stones that I had worked so hard to earn have now been mostly used up, leaving me with only nearly 30.

What remains is no longer sufficient to break through to the eighth level.

So now we're going to have to worry about resources again.

There's no rush for now, after all, we still have 30, which can last for a few more months.

Thus, life in Toyokawa returned to normal.

However, he did remove the closed-door sign from the gate.

Every day, besides practicing my cultivation, I feed the fish and then sit idly in the Cloud-Viewing Pavilion.

That morning, just after finishing his cultivation, there was a knock on the outer door of his cave.

After straightening my clothes, I went to open the door.

I thought it was a group of friends visiting, but when I opened the door, I found out it wasn't.

"Oh, Senior Sister Ziling? You've come out of seclusion?" Fengchuan greeted in surprise.

"Haha, Junior Brother Feng, it's been three years, and you don't recognize me?" Zi Ling said with a smile.

"Hehe, it really is you, Senior Sister! Please come in!" Fengchuan opened the gate and welcomed Ziling into the inner courtyard.

Upon entering the living room, Toyokawa stepped aside.

"Please sit down, senior sister. Let me make you some tea!"

After inviting Ziling to sit down, Fengchuan quickly took the teacup and teapot, poured a cup for Ziling, and also poured one for himself.

Then, sitting down beside her, he asked, "When did Senior Sister emerge from seclusion?"

"I came out of seclusion yesterday. After coming out, I went to see my master and learned from him that I have gained a junior brother!"

And it wasn't just anyone, it was you, Toyokawa! What a coincidence!

However, my master also instructed me that although you are now a direct disciple, it is not appropriate to make it public, so he told me not to spread the word.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, but I only went into seclusion for a short time.

I'm so sorry, junior!

"It's been so long since I came to see you, you won't blame your senior sister, will you?" Murong Ziling said.

"Hehe, what are you saying, Senior Sister? Junior Brother was able to enter the path of immortality thanks to your guidance!"

How could a junior brother blame a senior sister?

It's been three years since I last saw my senior sister, and she's changed so much!

When we first met, she was a young girl of marriageable age.

When we met again, my senior sister was unbelievably beautiful!

"When you call me junior brother, I almost didn't recognize you!" Fengchuan said with a smile.

"Oh ho ho, you've got quite the nerve!"

If you didn't know better, you'd be a grumpy old man in his seventies or eighties.

He's just a little kid who's not even an adult yet!

You dare to make fun of your senior sister!

"You have no manners at all, aren't you asking for a beating?" Murong Ziling said, blushing slightly.

"Haha, now senior sister is junior brother's real senior sister!"

Are you willing to beat up your junior brother the moment you meet him?

Besides, my junior brother didn't say anything wrong!

"To tell the truth, if I am guilty, then I am unforgivably guilty!" Toyokawa said with a sincere expression.

Seeing that, Murong Ziling couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing for a while, Murong Ziling then said seriously:

Let's not talk about this anymore!

I came here not only to see my junior brother, but also for important business.

The new member has been a member of the sect for three years.

The sect is preparing to assess the new generation of disciples.

Therefore, the master and a group of elders decided to start the sect competition.

While selecting core disciples, we also urge them to advance in their ranks.

The best among the menial servants are selected for the outer gate, the best among the outer gate members are selected for the inner gate, and the best among the inner gate members are selected for the core.

Of course, those who are lazy and negligent will also be demoted.

Disciples at all levels who rank at the bottom will be demoted.

I was just passing by and wanted to let you know in advance.

Junior brother, be prepared!

Getting into the core early has many advantages!

After all, the benefits and treatment of inner disciples are vastly different from those of core disciples.

"Although Master has secretly given you the treatment of a personal disciple, wouldn't it be even better if you also received the treatment of a core disciple?" Murong Ziling said.

"The sect competition? Okay, thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister. I will do my best! And thank you for your concern, Senior Sister!" Feng Chuan said.

"It's nothing. You're my only junior brother, so I'll definitely tell you first if there's any news!"

By the way, the competition is scheduled for six months from now!

By the way, what realm is my junior brother at now?

"I can't even see through your cultivation level!" Zi Ling asked.

"Replying to Senior Sister, Junior Brother has just broken through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering realm," Feng Chuan replied.

"Wow, not bad! You've reached the mid-stage of Spirit Gathering so quickly? Impressive, my brother!" Zi Ling exclaimed.

"What realm is Senior Sister at now?" Feng Chuan also asked.

"I only recently broke through to the second level of Foundation Establishment!"

"Every breakthrough after Foundation Establishment is too time-consuming and resource-intensive!" Zi Ling sighed.

"Alright, I won't stay any longer. I still need to inform the various branches!"

I've heard that many outstanding talents have emerged from various branches of the family.

Junior brother, be careful, or you might get overtaken!

When that time comes, your master won't let you off easily! Hehe...

"I'm leaving now, I'll come find you again next time!" After saying that, Zi Ling got up and walked out of the cave.

Fengchuan saw Ziling out of the cave and watched her leave before returning to the main hall.

After sitting for a while, I pondered the matter.

Although there is no bottleneck in cultivation at present, resources are indeed a limitation.

There are still six months until the sect competition starts, so going out on a mission should still be enough time.

I wonder if there are any missions with particularly high rewards right now.

Let's go take a look first; it's not good to just sit around and do nothing!

We stopped by the pond and fed Xiao Cai.

He then stepped onto his flying sword and went directly to the Inner Sect Mission Hall.

Go to the same counter as before and find Steward Song.

"Disciple Fengchuan greets Steward Song!" Fengchuan bowed respectfully.

"Oh, young friend Feng! Are you here to take on another mission?" Deacon Song asked.

"Yes, Deacon Song! Could you please take a look and tell me which missions currently offer high rewards?" Feng Chuan asked directly.

"Of course, young friend, please wait a moment!" Deacon Song then took out his mission artifact and fiddled with it. In no time, he found a list of missions with high rewards.

"Young friend, it's been found. Take a look for yourself?" Deacon Song handed over the magical artifact.

Toyokawa took the ritual implement and fiddled with it from top to bottom.

The tasks are very detailed, including the task name, rewards, and danger level.

Fengchuan immediately set his sights on a high-risk mission: collecting spiritual herbs in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

This is no ordinary elixir; it is one of the main ingredients of a Foundation Establishment Pill, the Divine Enlightenment Fruit.

One Bright God Fruit can be exchanged for 1000 sect contribution points, which is equivalent to 10 spirit stones.

That's quite a lot of money.

However, the bright red high-risk level also put Toyokawa in a dilemma for a while.

I'm terrified, but I don't want to give up. You're basically a noob but a hardcore gamer!

Let's look at the other tasks first.

I looked down for a quarter of an hour. Other tasks also had high rewards, but they all took too long.

Of the top three most profitable tasks, the one with the lowest risk takes three years to complete!

Screw you, wasting three years for a few hundred thousand spirit stones?

It might be worthwhile for others, but for him, it's too long, and he has absolutely no interest in it.

Secondly, it is of medium risk and will take a year to complete.

With the sect competition just around the corner, I probably won't be able to accept this mission!

Therefore, the most suitable task at present is to collect the Divine Fruit.

However, Toyokawa did not accept the task immediately. He opened the task and looked at the task details.

'Deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, in the Cold Yin Mountain, lies a Divine Fruit Forest.'

Some disciples who were gathering herbs accidentally wandered into the area and discovered that many of the Divine Fruits were nearly ripe, so they went to pick them.
