After leaving the Desolate Ancient Forest, one would see a mountain range covered in clouds and mist.
This mountain range was called the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range because the clouds and mist here were rolling like tides. They looked like a vast ocean that was flying across the sky of the mountain range.
The Soaring Cloud Mountain Range and the Desolate Ancient Forest were adjacent to each other. However, the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range was much safer than the Desolate Ancient Forest because there were no demon beasts or ferocious beasts in the mountain range. Instead, there were spirit stone veins of different sizes. Therefore, many cultivation sects had set up their headquarters here to cultivate using the spiritual qi from the spirit veins or to mine the spirit stone veins directly.
With the presence of the spirit veins, the spiritual qi here was naturally more abundant than other places. Not only was it a good place for cultivation, but it was also an ideal place to cultivate spiritual herbs.
As one of the top sects in the Flying Feather Continent, the Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect occupied a vast area in the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range as their territory. There were three high-grade spirit veins that extended for nearly one thousand li * (500m per li), dozens of middle-grade spirit veins and countless small spirit veins.
The Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect would not mine the small spirit veins but they would not give up on using them either. Most of the small spirit veins were used for disciples with weaker cultivation bases to excavate their immortal caves for cultivation. Some of the small spirit veins with relatively dense spiritual qi would be used to cultivate spiritual herbs.
Of course, the Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect also had a lot of spiritual herb gardens. They were divided into four grades: supreme grade, high grade, middle-grade and low-grade. The spirit herb gardens on the small spirit veins were all classified as low-grade spirit herb gardens.
The headquarters of the Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect was naturally built on top of a high-grade spirit vein mine. The spiritual qi there was very abundant. However, it was not suitable for disciples below the Severed Spirit Realm to stay and cultivate for a long time. Most of the disciples of the Void Inquiry Stage would cultivate in the middle-grade spirit vein mine near the headquarters. As for the small spirit vein mine, they would cultivate further away from the headquarters.
After Ge Yunfei returned to the Void Inquiry Stage Immortal Sect, he did not return to the headquarters directly. Instead, he brought Xiao Lingyu to a low-grade spirit herb garden that was under his management.
This spiritual herbal garden was located in a small valley. It was over three thousand li * (500m per li) away from the headquarter of the Void Inquiry Immortal Sect. The entire place was enveloped by a mid-grade spirit formation and several hundred types of restrictive spells. Anyone below the Severed Spirit Realm would never dare to barge into the place recklessly.
Ge Yunfei led Xiao Lingyu straight into the Spiritual Herbal Garden. He was the one who had personally set up the array formations and restrictions here, so he was naturally the most familiar with them. He could walk safely even with his eyes closed.
As he advanced, Xiao Lingyu could always hear the roars of wind and thunder, and he could faintly see bolts of lightning and flames intertwining and flickering. This made him speechless at the might of the formations and restrictions. He had a feeling that if he entered this place by mistake and did not take the correct route, he would definitely be killed in an instant.
After walking for about one hundred breaths of time, the scenery in front of his eyes suddenly widened. A world of birds chirping and fragrant flowers appeared in front of him. Spiritual qi that was very dense to Xiao Lingyu was flowing towards him from all directions, making him feel very comfortable. He had the urge to spread his arms and moan softly.
The entire valley was only about five hundred meters wide. At the back of the valley, there were a few rows of thatched cottages. In the middle of the valley, there was a small pond that was emitting water vapor.
In the pond, there were aquatic plants that looked like lotus flowers and leaves. There was also a small pavilion whose shape was blurred by the water vapor.
The other places in the valley were all kinds of spiritual flowers and spiritual grasses. They were competing with each other and swaying with the wind.
"What do you think? Are you satisfied with this place?" Ge Yunfei asked Xiao Lingyu with a smile.
"Satisfied. Of course I'm satisfied. This place is simply a paradise." Xiao Lingyu nodded his head and praised. Although he knew quite a lot about the cultivation world, he had not seen much of it with his own eyes. The layout and scenery here were definitely much better than the desolate ancient forest.
"The density of spiritual qi here is just right for your current cultivation. Once you complete your initial cultivation and reach the Golden Core stage, I'll change the place for you." Ge Yunfei said as he walked towards the thatched cottages. "There are a few outer disciples here. If you want some peace and quiet, I can move them elsewhere."
"No need, no need. It's better to have more people. The more people there are, the merrier. Everything here needs to be taken care of. Right now, I don't know much about these flowers and plants. I also need someone to give me some pointers. " Xiao Lingyu said as he waved his hand. He did not want to affect the others because of his arrival.
"Hehe, you don't need to care about these flowers and plants in the future. You just need to focus on your cultivation." Ge Yunfei said with a smile.
Before he reached the thatched cottages, three young men wearing coarse green clothes came up to him.
These three people did not look very old. They were about the same age as Xiao Lingyu, but all of them had delicate features and extraordinary temperaments.
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised. Even if these young men were wearing coarse green clothes, they still had a noble temperament. There was even a bit of pride in their bones. Why would they be willing to guard a few acres of medicinal fields here?
"Greetings to Grandmaster!" After the three young outer disciples saw Ge Yunfei, they all bowed down.
"En."
Ge Yunfei only responded and nodded slightly. His expression also became serious.
The outer sect disciples were still bowing. They didn't dare to stand up straight. Their seniority couldn't compare to a Severed Soul Expert like Ge Yunfei. They were simply too inferior.
Ge Yunfei said in a serious voice, "This person beside me is my brother. In the future, he will live here for a period of time. You have to serve him well. If you dare to neglect him, you can forget about entering the inner sect."
"Disciple will remember!" The three were stunned at first, but then they responded in unison.
"Go and do your own things."
Ge Yunfei waved the three people away, then pulled Xiao Lingyu's arm and walked in front of the row of thatched cottages.
Without stopping, the two passed through the row of thatched cottages and arrived in front of a small courtyard.
"Little Brother, this courtyard is where I usually stay. In the future, you will live here." Ge Yunfei waved his hand and formed a seal to open the courtyard door. At the same time, he said to Xiao Lingyu.
When the courtyard door opened, the first thing that entered Xiao Lingyu's eyes was a bluestone path, followed by a crooked ancient tree, and then a few cottages.
"This courtyard originally did not belong to me. It belonged to one of my Martial Uncles. My Martial Uncles cultivation was crippled because of carelessness. After that, he lived here until he passed away. His relationship with me was very good. Before he passed away, he left this medicinal field and this courtyard to me. I am also very respectful to him. Therefore, Little Brother, if there is no need, do not touch anything here. "Ge Yunfei solemnly instructed.
"Okay, I will remember." Xiao Lingyu also nodded seriously.
"The one on the left is the pill room. The one on the right is the artifact hall. In the middle is the study. I usually come here to meditate and cultivate."
Ge Yunfei first pointed at a few cottages and introduced them. Then, he took out a lustrous jade tablet and stuffed it into Xiao Lingyu's hand. He said: "Take this tablet with you. You can enter and leave this medicinal field and this courtyard at will. But if there is nothing else, it is best that Little Brother does not leave this medicinal field. This place is a bit far from the immortal sect headquarters. It is not safe. Disciples from other sects and rogue cultivators often come here. Your cultivation is still weak, so it is best that you do not come in contact with too many outsiders."
After Ge Yunfei said a few more words, he left the medicinal field because he had to report back to the headquarters. At the same time, he also had to report back to the sect about what happened this time.
Xiao Lingyu felt a bit helpless. Just now, Ge Yunfei did not hide his relationship with him. This made it impossible for him to have a good relationship with the other three people living in this medicinal field. However, he did not take it to heart.
The storage belt that Ge Yunfei gave to Xiao Lingyu contained a lot of spirit stones and cultivation materials. This was his sincerity towards Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu was a poor foundation establishment stage cultivator, so he could not refuse his brother's good intentions.
Xiao Lingyu put away the tablet and walked around the various rooms in the courtyard. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he sat behind the desk in the study and began to read the books in the study.
There were many books in the study. Most of them recorded some cultivation experiences and insights, as well as some knowledge.
Xiao Lingyu cultivated the Nine Revolutions Chaos Formula. Ordinary cultivation methods and experiences did not have much reference value to him, but they could help him broaden his horizons.
For an entire month, he read books in the study. Since he had reached the foundation establishment stage, he could also go for a long time without eating or drinking.
After reading those books, Xiao Lingyu walked out of the courtyard for the first time. He wanted to get himself something to eat because his mouth was so bland.
When he passed by a row of thatched cottages, Xiao Lingyu bumped into an outer sect disciple. He smiled and greeted, "Brother, can I get something to eat here?"
The outer sect disciple hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, "Master Ancestor, you're too kind. How can I be your brother? If you need anything, just let me know."
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said, "Don't be so restrained. Actually, my cultivation is about the same as yours. We're both foundation establishment stage."
"You're foundation establishment stage? Senior, don't fool me. I'm already at the peak of the late stage of foundation establishment. If you're at the foundation establishment stage, how can I not see it? If you want to get something to eat, I'll go get it for you. "
That young disciple first looked at Xiao Lingyu in surprise, then left these words and ran away without a trace.
Xiao Lingyu could only smile helplessly. His cultivation was different from that of normal cultivators. Therefore, generally speaking, only cultivators who were two levels higher than him could see through his cultivation level. For example, he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Therefore, only Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could see through his cultivation level.
The outer sect disciple who was talking to Xiao Lingyu just now found the other two outer sect disciples and said in a low voice, "Did you know? Just now, that grandmaster's brother said he was in the Foundation Establishment stage and asked me to get him some food."
"Huang Bing, don't talk nonsense. The grandmaster is a severed soul stage expert. His brother is at least at the severed soul stage. He must be teasing you." An outer sect disciple with fair skin and a strand of black hair on his forehead said.
"Yang Jin, of course I know he's teasing me. That's why I came to you guys to get him something to eat!" The outer sect disciple called Huang Bing said.
"Wang Zhicheng, you usually have the most ideas and you say you're the most knowledgeable. Then tell me, what should we prepare for the grandmaster's brother?" Yang Jin said to the other outer sect disciple.
