When Qin Di had advanced to the Dao Integration Realm, she had used materials from about 30 Grotto-Heavens, a total of 180 large spirit meridians, and countless resources of the five elements — metal, wood, water, fire, and earth — in order to evolve the Grotto-Heavens.
Now that he was free, he started to construct the grotto-heavens in detail.
He divided the grotto-heavens into five directions: north, south, east, west, and center. The wood, fire, earth, metal, and water elemental spirit veins extended in the five directions. The wood spirit vein extended to the east, the fire spirit vein extended to the south, the metal spirit vein extended to the west, the water spirit vein extended to the north, and the earth spirit vein was in the center.
The so-called center was where the 99 grotto-heavens stones were located, which happened to be in the center of the circle.
Then, he constructed mountains and rivers on the vast ground. The west was elevated, and the east was sunken. A large river ran through the east and west, leaving a few water bodies in the surroundings, which were called the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea. At the same time, he constructed the Five Mountain Immortal Mountains on the land. The sides of the mountains were piled with materials of the five elements. The distribution of the entire terrain was similar to the map of China, except that there weren't as many mountains, leaving behind more plains.
At this time, he tried to transplant plants into the grotto-heavens, but they died very quickly.
He knew that his cultivation was still insufficient. The time he had advanced to Dao Integration was too short. The spirit veins hadn't taken root, and the soil hadn't rotted yet. Therefore, he couldn't be anxious. He needed to constantly absorb a large amount of Spirit Qi from the spirit veins below the mountains.
This process was very long. For an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator, it would usually take them forty to fifty thousand years to complete the process and advance to Earth Immortal. The lifespan of a Dao Integration cultivator was at most a hundred thousand years. In other words, from the moment they advanced to Dao Integration, they would have at least ninety thousand years. They could keep accumulating until the end of the hundred thousand years, when they would either advance or die of old age!
Ever since Qin Di stepped into the Immortal Sect, he had only been six hundred years old. He still had a long way to go!
Since then, he had taken root in the Ethereal Immortal Peak.
The huge Four Divine Sect currently only had three Earth Immortals and a dozen Dao Integration cultivators. Its strength was ranked at the bottom of the nine orthodox sects. It was even inferior to some of the 72 unorthodox groups. It was really declining.
Moreover, the Four Divine Sect was not a completely unified sect. Instead, the four sect masters would discuss and solve problems. In this way, the sect's cohesiveness was lower than that of other sects. It was precisely because of these unfavorable factors that half of the sect's territory was snatched away by other sects in the past few years.
Now, under the drive of Qin Di's celestial music, the lost land was gradually reclaimed, and the sect could be considered to have gained more vitality.
On this day, the four sect masters gathered the Dao Integration Perfected Lords who were not in seclusion for a meeting. There were only nine of them present. As Patriarchs, Shi Babao and the others would not intervene in such matters.
Qin Di greeted everyone one by one, gradually familiarizing himself with everyone's name.
A group of people sat in the armchairs. The nine large armchairs formed a ring, and they were occupied by Jindan Sect Leader Jinsheng Ying, Grand Evolution Sect Leader Yan Shenglun, Heavenly Talisman Sect Leader Luo Shenshu, and Celestial Artifact Sect Leader Zhuo Shengzhou. Apart from that, there were also four Dao Integration Perfected Lords called Chen Shengyi, He Shengjia, Zhang Shengche, and Kong Shenglu. According to the rules of the Four Divine Sect, Dao Integration Perfected Lords were all of the Sheng generation, so Qin Di should be called Qin Shengdi.
Jinsheng Ying, who was at the late-stage Dao Integration Realm, was the first to speak. "Junior Brothers, ever since Qin Shidi came to the Spiritual Mountain, the Four Divine Sect has gradually reclaimed our lost land, and we have a good life again. We have a lot of resources, and we can refine elixir pills, weapons, and talisman arrays to sell in exchange for enough spirit crystals. This is the foundation of our sect's prosperity. The problem now is that although we have resources, there are too few Dao Integration Perfected Lords. We have almost become the laughing stock of the Nine Major Orthodox Sects. What do you think we should do? "
Grand Evolution Sect Leader Yan Shenglun, who was at the mid-stage Dao Integration Realm, said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jinsheng, this is all because of the inaction of the Golden Pill Sect. You also know that our sect has more than three hundred Void Step cultivators, including thirty to forty peak Void Step cultivators. However, without enough Dao Pills, how can we advance to the Dao Integration Realm? "
Zhang Shengche, who was also from the Golden Pill Sect, said, "As the saying goes, the cleverest housewife cannot cook without rice. Dao Pills are only first-grade immortal pills, so it is not too difficult to refine. In the entire Spiritual Mountain, our Golden Pill Sect is not the only one who can refine Dao Pills. The four Upper Sects all have their own Alchemy Pavilions, and all of them can refine Dao Pills. A few years ago, our sect lost our territory and lacked resources, so we could not afford the materials to refine pills. Naturally, we could not refine Dao Pills. "
Immortal Artifact Sect Leader He Shengjia said with a smile, "In that case, now that we have reclaimed our lost territory, we have the capital to participate in the auction. As long as we buy back the spirit herbs, can't we refine pills? "
Jin Shengying said with a bitter smile, "That is true, but the four Upper Sects see that our sect is weak, so they will definitely join forces at the auction to prevent us from buying the key spirit herbs. For example, the Illusion Bird's egg has already been monopolized by the bird race. Only two or three of them are auctioned every ten years. The moment they appear, the four Upper Sects will quickly snatch them away. Even if they do not need them for the time being, they will not let us obtain them easily."
Heavenly Talisman Sect Leader Luo Shenshu also said, "Yes, especially after reclaiming our lost territory this time, we have clashed with more than ten sects and offended many people. Those fellows will also go against us. Even if they cannot get the Illusion Bird's egg, they might snatch away the key spirit herbs, such as the Cloud Dream Flower. "
Everyone discussed spiritedly and expressed their own opinions.
Someone said that if they worked with other sects, the Four Sacred Sect would not have to appear during the auction, and there would be less resistance.
Someone said, "That is useless! As long as it is a key spirit herb, the four Upper Sects will bid with all their strength. Let's get it first. "
Qin Di didn't say a word and listened quietly.
After a long while, Kong Shenglu of Celestial Seal Sect asked, "Qin Shidi, tell me, what good methods do you have to solve this problem?"
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "This little brother does not understand pill making. Jindan Sect is famous for pill making, and should have their own spirit herb cultivation base, right?"
Zhang Shengche slapped the armrest of the chair and said with a frown, "Originally, we had a complete spirit herb cultivation base, but a few years ago, half of the territory was lost, and even the spirit herbs were harvested by others. For the newly born spirit herbs to mature, it will take at least a thousand years, some even tens of thousands of years. "
Qin Di asked, "Senior Sect Brother Zhang, what spirit herbs do we need to make the Great Dao Pill?"
Zhang Shengche was in the middle stage of Dao Integration, and was almost the second most powerful person in Jindan Sect below Earth Immortal. He glanced at Qin Di with pity. "Qin Shidi, you are also a disciple of Jindan Sect. In the future, you have to put more effort into pill making. I know that there are no inheritances of immortal pills outside of Ling Mountain, but now that you are on Ling Mountain, you can find inheritances of level one and two immortal pills. Even if you do not know how to make them, you should know the recipes. "
