Lu Xiaotian and Peng Dayong's cultivation were at the bottom of the group. Most of the others were already at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining. They were already at the late stage of Qi Refining. They were also using the Imperial Wind Technique, but they were struggling to keep up. If Yu Bao hadn't noticed and deliberately slowed down, the two of them would have fallen behind.
"I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you Junior Martial Brother Lu. Junior Martial Brother Lu, it seems that the two of us have to hurry up and cultivate. Otherwise, we'll fall too far behind the other senior martial brothers. " Peng Dayong said to Lu Xiaotian as they hurried along. He was a chatterbox, but the other senior martial brothers and sisters ignored him. Peng Dayong could only look for Lu Xiaotian.
"With your aptitudes, it's useless no matter how hard you work." The tallest, Liu Wu, turned around and laughed.
Peng Dayong's face turned red, but he didn't dare to refute.
Lu Xiaotian felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't say a word either.
After running for more than a hundred miles, the disciples arrived at a small courtyard under Yu Bao's lead.
"We're here. You can go in. There's a senior martial brother Wang in charge of the registration of disciples in the Green Lotus Peak area. Since you've just arrived, you have to choose a place to stay. Remember, when you choose a place, try to be as close to a water source as possible. Otherwise, after opening up the spiritual fields, planting spiritual herbs and watering them will be a big problem. If you carry water back and forth, it will take several hours, which will inevitably affect your cultivation. In addition, it's best to choose a place with rich spiritual energy. However, only senior martial brother Wang, who is in charge of the registration, knows which good places to stay. If you want to stay in a better place, give him three to five spirit stones and he'll tell you. Go, I'll stay in the reception bamboo house from before. If you have any questions in three days, just ask me. After three days, I won't care. By the way, Lu Xiaotian, you'll be the first to go. After you've arranged a place to stay, follow me to see Martial Uncle Qian. "
Since they had entered the Spirit Firmament Palace, there were some things that couldn't be avoided. Lu Xiaotian obeyed and walked into the small courtyard. In the spacious courtyard, there was a fat cultivator sitting on a stone chair. His mouth was even dripping with saliva.
Lu Xiaotian coughed dryly. "May I ask if this is Senior Brother Wang?"
The fat cultivator immediately woke up with a start. Embarrassed, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and sat up. When he saw that Lu Xiaotian was only in the sixth layer of the Qi Refining realm, he frowned and pretended to be dignified. "Hmm, what's the matter?"
"I am a new disciple, Lu Xiaotian. I was brought here by Senior Martial Brother Yu from the Reception Hall. I came here to ask Senior Martial Brother Wang for a place to stay." Since he was in his hometown, he couldn't avoid the customs. Lu Xiaotian stuffed three spirit stones into the fat cultivator's hand.
"I see. Hmm, do you have any requirements for your residence? Senior Martial Brother Wang put away the spirit stones and asked with a slightly better complexion. "For example, it's convenient to open up spirit fields, abundant spiritual energy, or other requirements."
"I'm a bit of a loner. I like to live alone in a quiet place."
Lu Xiaotian pondered for a moment. According to Yu Bao's introduction, it was very important for a cultivator to focus on the future. Most new disciples would open up a few spirit fields and sow the seeds of spirit herbs of different ages. Some would take a year or a lifetime. Some would take three years, five years, or even decades. The older the spirit herbs, the more precious they were. When they were harvested, they would be worth a large sum of spirit stones. In addition, when choosing a residence, they would generally choose a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy. It would be beneficial for their daily cultivation.
However, Lu Xiaotian had his own considerations. Although there were many spirit stones in the barrier that others couldn't see, he still had to feed the ice silkworms, hatch the Realm-Breaking Bugs, and refine large amounts of pills. If he fell into the eyes of others, they would inevitably be suspicious. After all, how could an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of the Qi Refining realm have so many spirit herbs? If he advanced too quickly, it would also attract other people's attention. It would be better for him to live alone and have some peace and quiet.
"Generally, places with relatively abundant spiritual energy will be chosen by more people. Only places with thin spiritual energy will be ignored. You have to think carefully. "For the sake of the three spirit stones, Senior Martial Brother Wang reminded him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Martial Brother. My aptitude is mediocre, so thin spiritual energy won't affect me much." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Well, this scroll contains the various spirit lands in our Green Lotus Peak area. The red dots are the areas where cultivators are relatively concentrated. The blank areas are uninhabited for the time being. You can choose one yourself."
Senior Martial Brother Wang nodded. The two of them were unrelated. He had already reminded the other party. As for whether the other party would take it or not, it was not his business. If Lu Xiaotian wanted to change places later, he would have to give him a few more spirit stones.
There were all kinds of birds in the forest. Although there were not many cultivators like Lu Xiaotian who did not like to interact with others, he was definitely not an exception. There were even some filthy cultivators who liked to live close to other female cultivators, so that they could enjoy the benefits of being in a favorable position.
Lu Xiaotian did as he was told and chose a barren mountain filled with bamboo forests. This kind of place was extremely unfavorable for cultivation. However, the advantage was that there were not many people here. Moreover, the bamboo forest could be cut down and burned into charcoal that could be used to refine pills.
When Lu Xiaotian left, he saw Senior Martial Brother Wang circling the place he just chose, indicating that there were already people living there.
When Yu Bao saw Lu Xiaotian come out, his eyes lit up. He pulled Lu Xiaotian aside and whispered, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, you finally came out. Martial Uncle Qian must have been waiting for a long time. Let's go now. Martial Uncle Qian's temper is not very good. If he gets angry, the two of us will have to suffer."
Lu Xiaotian frowned and asked, "Why? Martial Uncle Qian is an expert in the Foundation Establishment stage. Would he attack some small fries in the Qi Refining stage?"
Yu Bao laughed in spite of himself. "That's not necessarily the case. We don't have enough manpower for Martial Uncle Qian to take action. However, there are countless Aura Refining martial brothers who wish to curry favor with Foundation Building seniors. Even if Foundation Building seniors don't have such intentions, when others find out that you've displeased a Foundation Building senior, they'll think of ways to make trouble for you, hoping to curry favor with the seniors. If one day a Foundation Building senior is happy and arranges a good job for us Aura Refining cultivators, it'll be enough for us to save more than ten years of hard work. Just now, that Fatty Wang's job was a lucrative one, earning him dozens of spirit stones a month. If he hadn't reported to Martial Uncle Luo that his martial brother had an affair with Martial Uncle Luo's niece, how could he have gotten such a lucrative job? The factions in this immortal sect are complicated. I advise you to be careful. If you're not careful, you'll never have a peaceful day. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Martial Brother," Lu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the relationship between the disciples of the Divine Firmament Palace was not simple.
Yu Bao winked and said, "You're welcome. Junior Martial Brother Lu is someone that Martial Uncle Qian has his eyes on. If Martial Uncle Qian helps you in the future, don't forget to give Senior Martial Brother a hand and arrange a good job for Senior Martial Brother. When the time comes, I'll definitely give you a lot of benefits. "
Hearing this, Lu Xiaotian laughed in his heart. This Yu Bao was thinking of ways to get information out of him. How could he let the other party have his way? He said a few perfunctory words. If this Yu Bao knew that Martial Uncle Qian might have other intentions towards him, who knew if he would still be as enthusiastic as he was now.
