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

When you're feeling exhausted, the best solution is to take a hot bath.

Sure enough, Toyokawa was soaking in the tub and had fallen asleep without anyone noticing!

When I woke up, the water was completely cold. I got up, went into the bedroom, and went back to sleep!

Early the next morning, Toyokawa went upstairs to complete the mission.

He took out two Bright God Fruits and handed them to Steward Song.

Deacon Song didn't say much or ask any questions; he simply gave him 2000 contribution points.

Currently, Fengchuan's disciple token still contains 2315 contribution points.

He had never used his contribution points, because he had neither gone up to the third floor of the Dharma Transmission Building nor visited the Hall of Merit.

However, he plans to take some time to visit the Dharma Transmission Building and go up to the third floor.

After leaving the mission building, I flew directly to the sect master's hall on my sword.

"Disciple Fengchuan greets Master!" Fengchuan bowed as he approached Bai Linglong.

"No need for formalities, my disciple. I heard your mission went very smoothly. Your senior sister came back yesterday and praised you to the skies!" Bai Linglong said.

"Hehe, it wasn't as exaggerated as my senior sister said! I just used some tricks and opportunistic methods, and barely managed to complete the task," Toyokawa replied modestly.

"Hehe, as long as we can complete the mission, what's wrong with using some tricks!"

Moreover, it is truly remarkable that the entire team completed the mission without injury and even achieved a great harvest.

"You did an excellent job on this mission and deserve a reward!" Bai Linglong said.

"Hehe, then I'll have to trouble Master to help me exchange for spirit stones." Feng Chuan seized the opportunity.

"Hmm, it's nothing, leave the things here!" Bai Linglong said.

"Thank you, Master. Then I will not disturb you any longer. I will take my leave!"

"Okay, go ahead and focus on your cultivation. As for the sect competition, you can handle it yourself; your ranking doesn't matter!" Bai Linglong instructed.

"Yes, Master." After saying that, Fengchuan left the main hall and flew back to his cave on his sword.

After Feng Chuan left, Bai Linglong summoned her bodyguard. She handed the items to the bodyguard, instructing him to exchange them for spirit stones and then deliver them to Feng Chuan.

In less than an hour, Toyokawa received spirit stones delivered by his secret guards.

I probed with my spiritual sense and wow, there were so many!

Piles of spirit stones, like small mountains.

One pile for one million, six piles in total, totaling six million spirit stones.

Originally, after completing the quest, there were 50 Bright God Fruits left, which could only be exchanged for a maximum of five million spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, his master generously rewarded him with an extra million.

Master is so magnanimous!

If there were more masters like that, wouldn't Toyokawa just win without lifting a finger?

With this huge sum of money, he can now break through to the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage.

Besides, it's time to splurge a little.

Since arriving in the world of cultivation, I've been living a very frugal life.

Now that I'm finally rich, I feel like I should walk sideways to feel comfortable!

We flew along on our swords and arrived at the outer commercial district.

There are many restaurants here, the most famous of which is undoubtedly Tianweilou.

This is because all the dishes made at Tianweilou are made with spiritual ingredients.

Spirit birds that fly in the sky, spirit beasts that run on the ground, and spirit fish that swim in the water.

Even the rice they eat is made from high-grade spiritual rice.

It is said that if you set up a table of food here, you wouldn't be able to present it properly if it cost less than 1000 spirit stones.

Because many vegetarian dishes here start at hundreds of spirit stones.

Toyokawa stopped in front of the Tenmi Restaurant.

"Honored guest, please come in!" A young servant in the Body Tempering Realm greeted them.

"Waiter, prepare a private room for me." Feng Chuan followed the waiter into Tianwei Restaurant.

"Alright, esteemed guest, please wait a moment, I'll take you to a private room on the third floor right away!" the waiter said.

After saying this, the servant greeted the manager and then led Fengchuan to a private room on the third floor by the window facing the street—Tingfeng Yayuan.

Upon entering the private room and reaching the window, Toyokawa took out nine communication talismans, recorded voice messages, activated them, and sent them out.

He then went to the table, took the menu, and ordered about ten dishes from each of the three categories of spiritual food: sea, land, and air, enough to fill the entire table.

We also ordered two jugs of fine spirit wine, and then sat in the main seat on the east side, waiting for our senior brothers and sisters to arrive.

A few moments later, the dishes began to be served, and guests began to arrive one after another.

The most proactive one was He Buwei; he arrived as soon as the first dish was served.

"Hehe, it's rare for Junior Brother Feng to treat us, and none of you are even a little more enthusiastic!"

If I were hosting a dinner party, I'd make sure they all drink three cups as a punishment when they arrive!

"I, Lao He, am the most honest one. As soon as I received my junior brother's message, I set off immediately without saying a word," He Buwei said with a shameless grin.

He looked exactly like a petty, mercenary man!

"I could tell it was Senior Brother He just by his voice. He really loves gossiping behind people's backs!"

At this moment, another voice came from behind He Buwei; it was Du Shaoling.

"Greetings, fellow disciples!" Nangong Yue arrived and then said to Feng Chuan, "Junior brother, thank you for the expense!"

"Hehe, what are you saying, Senior Sister! Senior Brother and Senior Sister have helped me wholeheartedly, so I'm just expressing my gratitude. There's no need to mention it's too much trouble!" Fengchuan replied.

"Fellow senior brothers and sisters, please don't stand, please take a seat!" Fengchuan continued.

Subsequently, Sima Jinghong, Shangguan Fei, Zhao Yunfei, Huangfu Chuxia, and He Lanxi arrived and took their seats.

Finally, Murong Ziling arrived in a hurry, and the group quickly greeted each other before taking their seats together.

Just then, the last dish was also ready.

Feng Chuan stood up and poured wine for Murong Ziling and the other senior sisters and brothers.

Finally, I raised my glass and said: "Dear senior brothers and sisters, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your great help!"

Come, let us drink this cup to the brim. May our path to immortality endure, and may the Great Dao hold everlasting hope!

When Toyokawa started, everyone else stood up, raised their glasses, and drank in return!

"Dear fellow disciples, please make yourselves at home. Let's eat and drink well today and have a great time," Fengchuan continued.

"Hehe, I've been waiting for you to say that, I can't stop drooling!" He Buwei said with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone chatted and enjoyed the food until all the dishes were finished and the two jugs of spirit wine were drunk, before they dispersed satisfied.

After the meal, Fengchuan went to the counter and settled the bill with the shopkeeper, spending a total of 18,000 spirit stones.

However, it was worth the price; every dish tasted excellent and was rich in spiritual energy.

After eating, it doesn't require any further refining; it naturally transforms into spiritual energy in the dantian.

It's even more convenient than elixirs, and it doesn't have the toxicity of elixirs.

Back in the cave, he went to the gate, took the sign indicating seclusion, and hung it up again.

Moreover, not only Fengchuan went into seclusion, but the other eight senior brothers and sisters also went into seclusion.

A month has passed in a flash.

Fengchuan finally ushered in the perfect moment of the seventh level of Spirit Gathering.

The spirit stones are being consumed rapidly, with over 90 already used.

I returned to the Cloud-Viewing Pavilion to sip tea, watch the clouds, and observe the sunrise and sunset. As the bright moon hung high and the stars twinkled like candles, my mind finally found peace and clarity.

Upon arriving at the cultivation room, he scattered 50 spirit stones and began circulating his cultivation technique.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, half an hour.

Boom~!

With a tremor, Fengchuan's cultivation level broke through once again.

Naturally, and as if by magic, he finally reached the eighth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

A noticeable fluctuation of spiritual energy appeared around the entire cave.

Not only that, but also 3 li away, 4 li away, 8 li away, 10 li away

Spiritual energy fluctuations also appeared one after another.

Tonight, not only Toyokawa broke through, but four other friends did too.

They are Huangfu Chuxia, He Lanxi, Nangong Yue, and He Buwei.

Two hours later, Fengchuan's realm finally stabilized.

His dantian expanded to a size of ten thousand miles in a single leap.

His spiritual awareness also grew to the point that it could cover an area of ​​a hundred miles.

The late stage of Spirit Gathering is truly different; every breakthrough is a huge leap forward.

The next day, the remaining four of the nine people also broke through to the next level.

Afterwards, they gathered at Guanyun Pavilion and shared their cultivation experiences and gains with each other.

At this moment, their cultivation levels had greatly improved.

Huangfu Chuxia broke through from the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm to the fourth level.

He Lanxi and Nangong Yue broke through from the second level of the Spirit Gathering Realm to the third level.

The others also broke through from the first level of Spirit Gathering to the second level.

Meanwhile, most of the inner disciples who entered the sect at the same time were in the late stage of Body Tempering, with only a small number breaking through to the early stage of Spirit Gathering.

There are still more than three months until the sect competition.

Everyone still has surplus resources.

So the group decided to continue their seclusion and give it their all before the competition.

Toyokawa had the same plan.

However, after the gathering ended, he took the opportunity to go to the Dharma Transmission Building. He did not stay on the second floor, but went straight to the third floor.

The cultivation techniques and secret manuals at all three levels are not free; they require sect contribution points to redeem.

However, the third level of the cultivation technique does not require many contribution points, since it is not easy for disciples to earn contribution points.

First, find your main cultivation method, Volume Two of "Hun Yuan Xuan Ling Gong".

Then there is Volume Two of the "Silent Spirit Manual" and Volume Two of the "Two Elements Sword Manual".

There is no second volume of "Yin Yang Flash". I found a high-level alternative technique called "Yin Yang Mizong Step".

Additionally, I found a very good cultivation technique in the spellbook section called "The Five Elements Spiritual Technique." This is a comprehensive work on the Five Elements spells, containing a selection of various Five Elements techniques. It includes both first-rank and second-rank techniques. The lowest rank is a high-level first-rank technique, and there are even some high-level second-rank techniques.

This is just right for Toyokawa.

I spent 1100 contribution points, obtained five cultivation manuals, and returned to my cave.

Next, he increased his cultivation level while practicing his cultivation techniques, proceeding in an orderly manner every day.

Day after day, two months passed in the blink of an eye.

It took a full 150 million spirit stones to finally fill the dantian again.

I spent another three days adjusting my mindset.

On the third night, after scattering a million spirit stones, he circulated his cultivation technique.

With one burst of energy, he drew in a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed into his dantian.

Boom~!

As if the world were being created, the dantian expanded once again.

Twenty thousand li, sixty thousand li, one hundred thousand li.

Finally, it stopped expanding when the dantian had expanded to 10 li.

Meanwhile, Toyokawa's spiritual awareness was also growing rapidly, and its coverage area was expanding quickly.

200 li, 600 li, 1000 li

The growth of spiritual awareness stopped when it could cover a radius of 1000 li.

Continue cultivating and consolidate your realm.

It wasn't until three days later that Toyokawa stabilized his cultivation at the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

I have finally broken through to the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage. Once the ninth level is perfected, I can establish my foundation.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Fengchuan will be able to find a way to return to the mortal world and reunite with his parents and relatives.
