Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

"Indeed, this will be my future cave mansion!"

Zhao Yu arrived at Dan Yan Peak, and upon seeing the cave mansion left by the previous cultivator on the mountainside, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes as he strode inside.

Within that cave mansion were a practice room, kitchen, quiet room, Alchemy Room, beast nurturing room, insect chamber, corpse preserving room, Artifact Refining Room, practice field, fields of Spiritual Medicine, and other various structures.

Zhao Yu thought to himself, "I only need to change the Formation of this cave mansion!"

Zhao Yu changed the Formation of Dan Yan Peak then brought Li Xianjiao to reside at Dan Yan Peak.

With Xiahou Zhenyu's introduction, Zhao Yu met quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators within the Dan Ling Sect.

Three months later, inside the Danbao Hall at Danxia Peak, a tall, elegantly dressed woman with her long hair tied up, featuring delicate features and a sharp demeanor, sat on the Sect Master's throne, quietly observing Zhao Yu in front of her.

This beautiful woman was precisely the Sect Master of Dan Ling Sect, Zheng Yunzhi.

Zhao Yu greeted her, "Zhao Yu pays respects to the Sect Master!"

Zheng Yunzhi said, "Zhao Yu, you've come to see me, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yu said, "Sect Master, I urgently need to meet the Supreme Elder, please relay my request!"

Zheng Yunzhi replied indifferently, "The Supreme Elder is in secluded cultivation. Unless it's an urgent matter, she is unavailable to meet guests! You can tell me what the matter is, and if it's truly significant, I will naturally inform the Supreme Elder."

As a Nascent Soul ancestor, unless it were a cultivator of the same level, even the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the sect might not be able to meet her at all times. The sect affairs were mostly managed by Zheng Yunzhi, the Sect Master.

Zhao Yu said, "This matter is of great importance, please allow me an audience with the Supreme Elder. I assure you, it is greatly beneficial even to Golden Core experts; the Supreme Elder will definitely be interested."

"Even so, wait here, I will be back shortly!"

Zheng Yunzhi's eyebrows slightly raised, a flicker of curiosity crossing her eyes as she stood up and walked out.

Shortly after, Zheng Yunzhi returned to the Danbao Hall and said, "Follow me!"

Zhao Yu followed Zheng Yunzhi out of the Danbao Hall and continued up the mountain, reaching the peak of Danxia Peak.

At the top of Danxia Peak sat an exquisite and elegantly aesthetic cave mansion; the entire place was permeated with rich Spiritual Energy, and various rare and extraordinary flowers and plants were planted everywhere, their fragrances wafting in the air, refreshing anyone who smelled them.

Under Zheng Yunzhi's lead, Zhao Yu passed through multiple corridors to reach a beautifully decorated palace within the depths of the cave mansion.

In that palace, a stunningly beautiful woman in red palace attire, with a graceful figure, long cascading hair, and striking features, sat on a throne, her piercing gaze quietly sizing up Zhao Yu.

This breathtakingly beautiful woman was the Supreme Elder of Dan Ling Sect, Cai Ling Xianzi!

Zhao Yu greeted her, "Zhao Yu, at your service, meets the Supreme Elder!"

Cai Ling Xianzi said indifferently, "What's the important matter? Speak!"

Zhao Yu said, "It's of great importance, please allow me a private audience!"

Zheng Yunzhi's eyebrows slightly raised, a trace of displeasure flickering through her beautiful eyes.

Cai Ling Xianzi said, "Yunzhi, step back for now!"

"Yes! Master!"

Zheng Yunzhi tactfully withdrew.

"Speak! If you waste my time with trivial matters, do not blame me for being unkind!"

Cai Ling Xianzi's voice was calm, a terrifying pressure of Golden Core Level slowly emanating from her body, causing Zhao Yu's breathing to hasten.

Zhao Yu said slowly, "I have found a cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root and wish to introduce him into the Dan Ling Sect."

Bang!!

"Heavenly Spirit Root!!"

Fairy Caiyun's beautiful face changed slightly, and the tabletop she was resting her hand on was crushed by her grip, clearly shocked by the news and unable to control her strength.

For a sect, the most frightening thing is having no successors!

Originally, there were eight Golden Core Sects in the northern deserts, but four of them were annihilated because they failed to produce Golden Core cultivators, and everything they had was plundered by other sects.

The Dan Ling Sect currently has only Fairy Caiyun as a Golden Core Cultivator. If she is unable to cultivate a Golden Core Cultivator, the Dan Ling Sect will also face the danger of being annihilated. Find adventures on empire

A cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root, as long as they possess cultivation techniques and ample cultivation resources, could continue to cultivate and successfully form a Golden Core.

A disciple with a Heavenly Spirit Root would cause a scramble among the Nascent Soul Level sects of both the immortal and demonic paths in the cultivation-rich land of the Great Qian Empire, let alone in the resource-poor Cultivation Wilderness of the north.

Fairy Caiyun stood up, eager to know, "Where is this cultivator?"

Zhao Yu said, "He is in my cave mansion! I have kept this matter quiet, fearing that if it leaked, it would harm our Dan Ling Sect!"

Fairy Caiyun nodded slightly, her eyes full of admiration, "You have done well! Very well!"

If the news that the Dan Ling Sect has recruited a disciple with a Heavenly Spirit Root were to spread, it would immediately become the thorn in the side of the other four major sects in the northern deserts, possibly even triggering another sect war.

The other four major sects would likely exhaust all means to kill the disciple with the Heavenly Spirit Root, and even Golden Core ancestors might stoop to personally assassinate him.

While Fairy Caiyun wished to recruit a cultivator with the Heavenly Spirit Root, she also did not want to make enemies of the other four major sects.

"Let's go!"

Fairy Caiyun waved her hand, and a beam of multicolored light enveloped Zhao Yu, and she herself transformed into a multicolored light, speeding away.

"That's Master and Zhao Yu! It seems Zhao Yu's words are true, and there must be something important!"

Zheng Yuzhi, seeing the multicolored light transformed by Fairy Caiyun, thoughtfully dismissed some thoughts she had.

The multicolored light soon landed at Zhao Yu's cave mansion.

Li Xianjiao came out to meet them, looking curiously at Fairy Caiyun, "Uncle, who is this beautiful sister?"

Zhao Yu said, "Xianjiao, show some respect! This is Fairy Caiyun, the Supreme Elder of our Dan Ling Sect. Come here and pay your respects to the fairy."

Li Xianjiao quickly performed a courtesy, "Li Xianjiao pays her respects to Fairy Caiyun. If there was any offense before, I hope the fairy will forgive me!"

"Foundation Establishment Stage One! Good! Good! Truly a good child! Indeed, a Heavenly Spirit Root!! But it's a pity, why has she already reached Foundation Establishment?

Too bad!"

Fairy Caiyun's beautiful eyes sparkled, her Golden Core Level Divine Sense swept over Li Xianjiao, effortlessly using the Talent Detection Technique, and she quickly discerned Li Xianjiao's Spirit Root Talent, but showed a hint of regret when she saw Li Xianjiao's cultivation level.

All major sects prefer to recruit young, exceptional talents who are at a lower cultivation level. This way, the sect can devote effort to their training, granting them numerous favors, and thus ensure their loyalty.

Fairy Caiyun said softly, "Good child, would you like to take me as your master?"

Li Xianjiao performed a deep bow, "Master above, please accept your disciple's bow!"

Fairy Caiyun smiled warmly, "Xianjiao, from today onward, you are my sixteenth direct disciple!"

Li Xianjiao said, "Yes, Master!"
