Chapter Sixty-Seven: Gathering Qi Pill

e celestial Qi of heaven into the body can harmonize with the earthly evil Qi.Di Sha's energy and Qian Tian Gang's energy are both extraordinary phenomena born from the spiritual energy of heaven and...Seeing their anxious expressions, the Sect Leader Yi chuckled lightly and said, “Don't be afraid. There will indeed be danger, but it's not a life-or-death situation. You are only going to participate in a grand ascension ceremony of a cultivating immortal sect.”

Here's the text in English:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and thought they had misheard.

The Ascending Immortal Gathering, Qin Sang had also heard of it.

Not every Xianxia sect is closed off. Some Xianxia sects also recruit casual cultivators through some form of selection to replenish fresh blood.

This is also one of the few opportunities for casual cultivators to join a cultivation sect.

Each cultivation sect has a different way of selecting disciples, but they all use the common name "Ascending Immortals Assembly." In a sense, the Kuiyin Sect's use of the artifact pavilion to release jade discs and recruit casual cultivators can also be called the Ascending Immortals Assembly.

However, scattered cultivators who can pass the Ascension Conference are either powerful or exceptionally talented. The difficulty is actually not low at all.

They were already disciples of the Quyin Sect, but now Sect Master Yi had them participate in a grand ascension ceremony held by another cultivation sect. Even the most naive person could smell the conspiracy brewing beneath the surface and felt even more fear.

At their level of cultivation, getting involved in a scheme involving Golden Core cultivators and two immortal sects could easily lead to them being reduced to ashes.

That's not all. You have to know, the most hated things in the Immortal Cultivation sects are traitors and inner demons. Once discovered, they will inevitably receive the most terrifying punishments as a warning to others.

In the immortal cultivation world, there are too many ways to torment people. Even wanting to die is a luxury.

No matter how terrified the disciples below were, or how their hearts churned like a stormy sea, Master Yi spoke to himself: "I know what you're worried about. The sect will definitely not assign tasks beyond your capabilities. As long as you are careful enough, you can easily complete them. Of course, it is too early to say these things now. You must first pass the Ascension Grand Gathering. To this end, the sect has prepared a Gathering Qi Pill for each of you in advance..."

The head of the sect took out a jade bottle. Inside, there were several blue pills that looked like glazed glass. When the lid was opened, a strange fragrance filled the room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

In the world of cultivators, alchemists are already rare, and the spiritual herbs needed for alchemy are even rarer. Powerful elixirs not only require a variety of rare spiritual herbs but also have requirements for the age of the herbs themselves.

Common cultivators find that spiritual herbs are either too young or guarded by powerful demonic beasts.

True elixirs and divine medicines, without exception, grow in secluded and treacherous places. Not only are they fraught with danger, but they may also be sealed by ancient prohibitions. If one's strength is insufficient, even entering such a place would mean certain death.

Pills made from earthly medicinal herbs, such as those that strengthen the foundation and cultivate one's vitality or detoxify and heal wounds, are effective even for cultivators with low cultivation levels. They are also the most common type of pills that wandering cultivators encounter.

But those who refine such pills have not yet entered the threshold of alchemy and are not qualified to be called alchemists.

The

聚氣丹 is a spiritual pill that can directly improve cultivation, effective for cultivators at the Qi-Building stage. It's a true elixir from the immortal world!

“There’s a saying in the mortal world: ‘Even if the emperor doesn't care about starving soldiers, as long as they agree to participate in the Ascension Conference, this Qi Gathering Pill is yours.’ Moreover, when you complete your tasks, there will be even richer rewards. If you accomplish enough merit, it wouldn’t be impossible to become my disciple directly.”

The ease of the leader's persuasion was like a devil whispering in one's ear.

"Who here is unwilling to participate in the Ascension Conference Now's your chance to speak up."

“We all are willing to go!”

Qin Sang knelt down without hesitation and replied loudly.

Even if ten Gathering Qi Pills were placed before him, Qin Sang would not go if he could avoid it.

But since the sect leader had spoken, there was no room for choice. Qin Sang didn't want to know what the consequences of refusing would be.

Seventeen people, not a single fool among them.

The master was very pleased. With a wave of his hand, Qi Gathering Pills flew out from the bottle, one for each person.

"Now, all of you take the Qi Gathering Pills. I and Yue Wu will protect you as you cultivate."

Qin Sang clutched the Ju Qi Dan, his eyes flickering uncertainly. He had seen through his own sect, and didn't believe there wasn't some trickery in this Ju Qi Dan. But with a Golden Core expert watching him, he dared not make any small movements.

Seeing several senior brothers and sisters swallowing the Gathering Qi Pills with joyful faces, unaware of anything amiss, Qin Sang felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He raised his head abruptly and swallowed the Gathering Qi Pill.

The Qi gathering pill transformed into a cooling medicinal force, flowing down the throat and into the abdomen, then spreading throughout the meridians. The spiritual energy within the body suddenly surged chaotically, like waves crashing against each other.

Qin Sang hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, barely managing to appease the surging spiritual energy. Upon checking his cultivation level again, he was astonished to find it had increased significantly compared to before.

After fully digesting the elixir's power, one's cultivation level can at least be raised to the late stage of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining period. A single pill can replace a year of arduous cultivation.

"If I survive this mission, it might not be a bad thing. Maybe I wouldn't have to worry about the Foundation Establishment Pill…"

Just as Qin Sang was comforting himself like this, he suddenly felt that his soul seemed a little different. He hurriedly looked inside and couldn't help but be shocked. On his soul, there was an unknown black spot at some point, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a bug!

To be precise, this bug was crawling on the inconspicuous jade Buddha golden light on the surface of the primordial spirit. It looked like a worm with two fangs at its mouthparts, savagely gnawing at the golden light.

Qin Sang felt a chill run down his spine. He was certain that before this, there had been no insect on his primordial spirit. There was only one possibility: the insect was from the Gathering Qi Pill.

A sudden scream in his ear startled Qin Sang. He opened his eyes and saw all the disciples around him transformed into rolling gourds, clutching their heads and writhing on the ground in pain. The agonizing wails sent shivers down Qin Sang's spine.

Oh no!

Qin Sang suddenly realized that this must have been caused by some kind of insect gnawing at the soul.

Because of the Jade Buddha's protection, he shielded the insects from his primordial spirit, feeling no pain. In the hall, he stood out as an anomaly.

He could already feel the gaze of the Sect Master and Yue Shishu upon him.

In a moment of desperation, Qin Sang gritted his teeth and immediately transformed his divine sense into a sharp cone, piercing his own primordial spirit.

A wave of unimaginable agony surged through Qin Sang's soul, a searing pain that ripped him apart from within. At this moment, he felt like his entire being was being torn to shreds. His face turned as pale as paper, and with a scream, his eyes rolled back, before collapsing onto the ground with a thud.

Seeing this scene, the headmaster Yi expressed dissatisfaction: “At such a young age, you have broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, yet your primordial spirit is so fragile”

Yue Wu was also very surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Reporting to Master, his name is Qin Sang. This disciple still remembers that he has the Five Elements spiritual root. Because he took a spiritual fruit since he was young, it broadened his meridians. Although his cultivation speed is not slow, it is normal for his aptitude to be slightly worse than others."

"Five Elemental Roots"

Yi Zhangmen glanced at Qin Sang, who had fainted, and said faintly: "It's a pity to have wasted a Ju Qi Dan."
