Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation-Chapter 373 - 368: Shocking the Entire Sect

With the Sect entry-and-exit Jade Plate given by Steward Di, Ding Huan and Chang Danyi left the Immortal Sect quite easily.

"Mr. Ding, where shall we go now?" Chang Danyi did not know why Ding Huan wanted to leave the Immortal Sect, but she believed he must have his reasons.

"Of course, we're going to find a place to advance to the True Immortal," Ding Huan said.

Chang Danyi was stunned, then she quickly realized, "Mr. Ding, although I have reached the Perfect level of Immortal Bridge, advancing to True Immortal must be done within the Immortal Sect. Outside, there's barely any Immortal Spiritual Energy, making it barely possible to advance."

"I've got some Immortal Crystals," Ding Huan said with a chuckle, having planned to advance to the True Immortal Realm himself.

Chang Danyi instantly understood that Ding Huan must have found a method to gather Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Spirit Spring and condense it into Immortal Crystals; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for him to have them.

That's really impressive.

Condensing Immortal Crystals from Immortal Spiritual Energy is the Great Sects' most closely guarded secret, controlled by only a very few Cultivators.

There was no telling how Ding Huan managed to learn this method.

The Fourth Immortal Domain was incredibly vast; one could say that apart from Immortal Sects, it was all wilderness.

Ding Huan and Chang Danyi flew for a day without seeing a single soul.

While there were common beasts, there weren't any Demon Beasts.

"Let's do it here; I feel this place is not bad," Ding Huan stopped at a plateau.

The area had a wide field of view, advantageous for transcending tribulation.

Ding Huan handed over a Storage Bag to Chang Danyi. "Fellow Daoist Chang, here are two thousand Immortal Crystals, for you to break through to the True Immortal Realm."

"No, this is too precious..." Chang Danyi immediately tried to refuse.

She and Ding Huan were neither kith nor kin, and he had been helping her all along. If she accepted so many Immortal Crystals from him to transcend tribulation, it would be somewhat excessive.

At the same time, she was secretly shocked. She had heard of condensing Immortal Crystals from Immortal Spiritual Energy. To think of condensing thousands of them in just half a year seemed practically impossible.

Ding Huan managing to do so suggested not only that the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye he found was extraordinary but also that his method of condensing Immortal Crystals far surpassed that of some Immortal Sects.

Ding Huan waved his hand dismissively, "Right now, two thousand Immortal Crystals seem very remarkable to us. Many years later, perhaps we'll find that even if two thousand Immortal Crystals were lying on the ground, we wouldn't bother to pick them up.

Besides, once you advance to True Immortal, even if the Immortal Sect expels you, you won't fear Crazy Wu."

Hearing this, Chang Danyi gratefully accepted the Immortal Crystals.

Ding Huan's implication was that she couldn't always follow him; eventually, they would have to part ways.

Thus, she must advance to True Immortal. Otherwise, once driven out by the Hundred River Immortal Path, she would face Crazy Wu's pursuit.

Ding Huan was indeed a very reliable friend; she hadn't misjudged him.

From asking a few questions to Jian Zhengyan and then giving him two High Grade Spirit Veins, she had guessed it, and now it proved to be true.

She had only mentioned Crazy Wu's plan against him in advance and received such generous compensation.

Chang Danyi opened the Storage Bag and took out an Immortal Crystal.

The dense Immortal Spirit Energy made her eyes widen.

"What's wrong?" Ding Huan asked, noticing Chang Danyi's strange expression.

"Mr. Ding, this is a top-notch Immortal Crystal, definitely High Grade," Chang Danyi said excitedly.

Ding Huan wasn't surprised to hear her words; he also thought it was High Grade, especially since the Immortal Crystal he obtained on that Void Spaceship before had been of lesser quality.

Chang Danyi continued, "In the Fourth Immortal Domain, Low Grade Immortal Crystals are commonly seen and condensed from Immortal Spiritual Energy."

Ding Huan puzzled, "Fellow Daoist Chang, my Immortal Crystals are also condensed from Immortal Spiritual Energy."

Chang Danyi shook her head, "Different methods of condensing Immortal Crystals from Immortal Spiritual Energy result in different grades of Immortal Crystals."

"So you mean my method of condensing Immortal Crystals is better than the method used by the Immortal Sects here?" Ding Huan understood.

"There are two reasons for that," Chang Danyi explained. "One is as you said, but the second, more important reason is that most Immortal Crystals are condensed after the Immortal Spiritual Energy has been dispersed from the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye for a long time. Such Immortal Crystals inevitably have low purity, and the Immortal Spirit Essence Qi is somewhat depleted.

Your Immortal Crystals must have been condensed soon after emerging from the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, so their purity is extremely high, and their grade is very high."

Ding Huan now understood, indeed his Immortal Crystals were condensed right as they emerged from the Immortal Spirit Spring.

"Immortal Spirit Springs in the Fourth Immortal Domain itself are of lower grade compared to those in the Fifth Immortal Domain. Being able to condense such Immortal Crystals is indeed rare. One of these Immortal Crystals is probably worth exchanging for more than a hundred ordinary ones," Chang Danyi said, lifting the Immortal Crystal in her hand with excitement.

With two thousand of such Immortal Crystals, if she still couldn't step into the True Immortal Realm, she would indeed be too unworthy.

"Is there any other way to obtain Immortal Crystals?" Ding Huan inquired.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

"Yes, there are Immortal Crystal Mines," Chang Danyi replied. "But the Immortal Crystal Mines aren't likely to be in the Fourth Immortal Domain; they are mostly found in higher Immortal Domains. The Immortal Crystals inside vary from Low to Mid to High Grade, even with a chance for the rarest High Grade Immortal Crystals."

As she said this, Chang Danyi once again expressed her gratitude, "Brother Ding, if it wasn't for you, I might never have been able to use High Grade Immortal Crystals in my life."

Her heartfelt gratitude was beyond words, and she even changed her form of address to Brother Ding.

In Void City, don't even think about such a thing.

Cultivators would do anything to survive; it's a miracle if they don't steal the Immortal Crystals off your person, much less willingly give away two thousand High Grade Immortal Crystals like Ding Huan just did. His only reason-being to express his gratitude.

It also speaks volumes about Ding Huan's character.

Ding Huan laughed heartily, "Go on then, strive to step into the True Immortal Realm. Who knows how many days we can hang around in the Hundred River Immortal Path."

"Alright," said Chang Danyi as she took the Immortal Crystals and picked a spot to begin her breakthrough into the True Immortal Realm.

Ding Huan, on the other hand, busied himself setting up various Big Arrays.

Hidden Spirit Array, defensive formation, Spirit Gathering Array...

Though they weren't of much use, setting up the Spirit Gathering Array was still necessary.

After completing these Big Arrays, Ding Huan picked another spot to begin his closed-door cultivation.

...

By the time Ding Huan and Chang Danyi had started cultivating, the Hundred River Immortal Path was already bustling with activity.

Meng Zhongqi, the Sect Master, along with nearly all the elders and Peak Masters, had arrived at the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye discovered by Ding Huan.

The incredibly dense Immortal Spirit Spring delighted Sect Master Meng Zhongqi.

"Elder Ping, record a Crystal Image, and use the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye Magical Treasure to collect the Immortal Spiritual Energy and transfer it to the Ascension Arena."

After his laughter, Meng Zhongqi's first order of business was to instruct the Sect's external affairs Steward to send the Immortal Spiritual Energy of the Immortal Spirit Spring discovered in the Hundred River Immortal Path to the Ascension Arena.

The Ascension Arena of the Fourth Immortal Domain evaluated the combined strength of all the Great Immortal Sects not by mere words or at the Great Immortal Sect assembly.

Instead, it required the use of the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye Magical Treasure to collect the Immortal Spiritual Energy for ten breaths, then combine it with the recorded Crystal Ball and insert it into the Ascending Immortal Artifact.

The Ascending Immortal Artifact would automatically classify the grade of the Immortal Spirit Spring and award points to the Sect.

There was no faking this process.

If any Immortal Sect dared to report findings of an unverified Immortal Spirit Spring, not only would they not gain points, but they would also lose a substantial number.

"Yes, Sect Master," a woman replied, before hurriedly proceeding to collect the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Spirit Spring.

After Elder Ping collected the Immortal Spiritual Energy from the Immortal Spirit Spring and departed, Meng Zhongqi finally said satisfyingly,

"Is Cheng Keqi present?"

Cheng Keqi stepped forward excitedly, bowing, "I am here."

"Very well, you've done an excellent job. You've discovered this Immortal Spirit Spring, and for that, you are credited. You're eligible to join the Hundred River Immortal Path, and those who discovered the Immortal Spirit Spring with you may stay in the Immortal Sect to continue searching for more Immortal Spirit Springs.

Furthermore, those Cultivators remaining here can claim twenty Immortal Crystals and one Gathering Immortal Pill each month."

"Thank you, Sect Master," began Cheng Keqi in his heart, grateful to Ding Huan.

Without Ding Huan, how could he have stumbled upon such a fortunate circumstance?

Not just Cheng Keqi was excited, but Xing Bu and Leng Youlin were equally thrilled.

They joined the Hundred River Immortal Path only to scrape by, and despite clinging to Cheng Keqi's coattails, three years had passed without finding so much as an Immortal Grass, let alone an Immortal Spirit Spring.

It seemed inevitable that they would be ousted from the Immortal Sect when Ding Huan and Chang Danyi, those two "fools," arrived, allowing not only for their continued stay but also a hefty reward.

If this continued, they might one day become eligible to stay in the Immortal Sect.

Only Ding Huan, the one who truly found the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye, went unmentioned at this time, receiving no reward or recognition.

"Keqi, your ability to locate Immortal Spirit Springs has been proven to be excellent. You've just joined the Sect, but the responsibility of searching for Immortal Spirit Springs will still rest on you."

Meng Zhongqi even patted Cheng Keqi on the shoulder as a form of encouragement.

"Yes, rest assured, Sect Master, I promise to continue my efforts to find more Immortal Spirit Spring Eyes for the Sect," Cheng Keqi said firmly, without a moment's hesitation.

Even Cheng Keqi himself had come to believe he was responsible for finding the Immortal Spirit Spring, so no one else would doubt it.

"Qin Wuhai, Fan Yi, you two will now follow Keqi and learn how to locate Immortal Spirit Spring Eyes."

This statement from the Immortal Sect Master Meng Zhongqi somewhat stupefied Cheng Keqi.

Being appointed to teach two others how to find Immortal Spirit Spring Eyes?

That was the moment he finally calmed down from his excitement; he realized he knew nothing about finding Immortal Spirit Springs, as it was Ding Huan who had made the discovery.

He immediately came to terms with the situation, understanding that he couldn't refuse this task.

"Keqi, you must diligently instruct Qin Wuhai and Fan Yi. If our Immortal Sect can successively locate Immortal Spirit Springs, maybe one day we'll step into the Fifth Immortal Domain, and you will become our most meritorious members," said Meng Zhongqi kindly.

"Yes, Sect Master, you can count on me. I will do my utmost to pass on my method of finding Immortal Spirit Springs to junior brother Qin Wuhai and junior sister Fan Yi."

Cheng Keqi was making promises outwardly, but inwardly he was already thinking that as soon as Ding Huan returned, he must have Ding Huan engrave a Jade Scroll detailing the process by which the Immortal Spirit Spring Eye was discovered.

As Cheng Keqi was contemplating this, Meng Zhongqi spoke again, "Alright, now tell us how this Immortal Spirit Spring Eye was discovered."

(I took a nap at noon, and after waking up, there's still no power. My laptop can last a little longer, and I've managed to finish this chapter, but I'm not sure if it will last until the third update. If there's no update by nine o'clock, it means my laptop is out of battery.)
