Chapter 377: Three hundred and seventy-six, quota Chapter 377: Three hundred and seventy-six, quota Yuan Yixiu stood up and walked out of the room. He had now advanced in rank and could go to the Spiritual Realm.
Seeing Yuan Yixiu approaching, Father Yuan slightly furrowed his brow. Of his three sons, this one was the least impressive. To avoid going to the Spiritual Realm, he even lied about having someone he liked.
“Father!” Yuan Yixiu walked up to Father Yuan, “I am willing to go to the Spiritual Realm for training.”
Father Yuan looked at Yuan Yixiu in surprise, “You’ve advanced?” He noticed a change in his aura.
Yuan Yixiu nodded, “Xiu’er has just advanced to the Golden Core Stage, now at the Gold Core Second Level.” He thought that just breaking through to the Golden Core Stage was fortunate enough, but he did not only break through but also advanced straight to the Gold Core Second Level, something he could never have dreamed of before.
“Gold Core Second Level?” Father Yuan was a bit astonished. He was well aware of Xiu’er’s cultivation talent, which though hardworking, had been advancing very slowly. It would at most advance one level in several decades, unlike his two brothers, who could advance in five or six years. Moreover, his alchemy level was mediocre, making him seem too ordinary among the many descendants of the Yuan Family.
“Mhm!” Yuan Yixiu nodded excitedly. This was the most refreshing advancement he had experienced since he began his cultivation.
Father Yuan patted Yuan Yixiu on the shoulder, “Very good, keep it up.” If only Xiu’er could maintain this speed of cultivation like this time. However, he knew this was just wishful thinking; miracles were called miracles because their occurrence was extremely rare.
“I definitely won’t disappoint you, Father,” Yuan Yixiu said with a joyful smile.
“The Spiritual Realm opens in three days, go back and prepare. Oh, and I heard you brought two strangers home,” Father Yuan had heard about this yesterday.
“Yes, they are Xiu’er’s friends. Father, I want to bring them with me to the Spiritual Realm, may I?” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had helped him, and naturally, he had to repay them. The Spiritual Realm was extremely dangerous for cultivators with lower cultivation levels, but for those below the Divine Separation Stage, it was a treasure trove. It was said to contain an Immortal Mansion. Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were unlikely to be cultivators above the Divine Separation Stage, just that he didn’t know if they were willing to go.
Father Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded, “Then let them follow, consider it a reward for you.” Their Yuan Family had a total of ten spots this time, and having Xiu’er’s friends along might help him. Although Xiu’er was his least impressive son, he still loved him.
“Thank you, Father!” Yuan Yixiu was so happy he almost jumped with joy. He needed to share this news with Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, hoping they would agree to go to the Spiritual Realm with him.
Yuan Yixiu left the study and went back to his own courtyard. Upon seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen taking a walk in the yard, he hurried over, “I have something to tell you.”
“Mhm.” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded. Seeing Yuan Yixiu so excited, it must be something good.
The few of them sat down in the pavilion in the yard.
“The tea you gave me yesterday to drink, wasn’t it Spiritual Tea? I advanced after drinking it, thank you!” Yuan Yixiu gratefully looked at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. If not for them, he would definitely not have advanced so quickly, nor would he have advanced straight to the Gold Core Second Level.
Song Yan Ning smiled slightly but neither confirmed nor denied, “Is that what you wanted to tell us?”
Yuan Yixiu shook his head, “Have you heard of the Spiritual Realm?” Then he realized that Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were not from this world, “The Spiritual Realm is a cultivation secret realm, said to contain numerous Spirit Grasses and an Immortal Mansion, though no one has ever seen it. The Spiritual Realm opens once every three years, and in three days it will open again, but only cultivators below the Divine Separation Stage can enter. You aren’t Divine Separation Stage cultivators, right?”
“No,” Song Yan Ning shook her head.
“Do you want to go?” Yuan Yixiu looked at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen expectantly. He hoped they would go with him.
“Isn’t there a limit to the number of spots for going to a cultivation secret realm?” Qin Yushen asked.
“I just went to see my father, and he agreed,” Yuan Yixiu would never dare to invite Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen if his father hadn’t agreed.
“Okay,” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded. They were quite interested in that so-called Immortal Mansion.
“That’s great! Prepare yourselves, we will set off early tomorrow,” Yuan Yixiu said happily.
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded.
Yuan Yixiu returned to his room and took out the elixir that Song Yan Ning had just given him. He initially thought it was the same bottle that he had given to her, but now he didn’t think so.
Upon opening the Jade Bottle and seeing the elixirs inside, Yuan Yixiu almost failed to hold the bottle steady, “It’s actually a Level 5 Blood Essence Pill.” Such elixirs could strengthen a cultivator’s Primordial Soul as long as they had a sliver of it left, preserving the cultivator’s Primordial Soul from perishing.
He was now even more curious about Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen’s identities. They were able to provide him with Lotus Heart Tea that helped him advance to Golden Core and now so many Blood Essence Pills. A single Blood Essence Pill was worth ten million top-grade Spirit Stones, and even in his Yuan Family, the number one alchemy house in Fengyan City, there were no alchemists who could produce Blood Essence Pills.
“Bang bang bang!” A series of knocks on the door sounded.
Yuan Yixiu, who was still lost in thought, was awakened. He put away the elixirs, stood up, and opened the door, “Little sister, why are you here?” His sister had always looked down on him and was far from being close to him.
“I heard you asked Father for two quotas?” Yuan Yu’er demanded. She had just gone to see Father to ask for two quotas for the Spiritual Realm because she had promised her friends that she would bring them along this time. But Father told her that the quotas were already allocated. Because this waste had advanced, Father had given him two quotas as a reward.
Yuan Yixiu nodded, “I want to bring two friends with me.”
“Those kinds of trash friends of yours don’t deserve to go to the Spiritual Realm. Go tell Father you don’t want the quotas and give them to me,” Yuan Yu’er commanded. She had already promised her friends and naturally could not go back on her word.
Yuan Yixiu’s expression darkened, “You should find your own way to get quotas; I absolutely won’t give mine up.” If it were before, he would have given them up, but not now. Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen had shown him kindness, he could not be ungrateful.
“You!” Yuan Yu’er trembled with anger. This waste dared to refuse her.
“Fine! Since you won’t give them, then I will go find your two friends. I have heard they are staying here,” Yuan Yu’er snorted coldly and turned to leave. Whatever Yuan Yu’er wanted, she never failed to obtain.
