Chapter 101: Meet with senior management
Mi Xiaojing was in the alchemy room, where he would either refine pills or cultivate tirelessly, striving to improve his strength. During his cultivation, he would also consume the Cultivating Essence Pill.
In fact, the effect of the Cultivating Essence Pill on him was average, mainly because he absorbed the power of starlight instead of spiritual qi. Spiritual qi only served as auxiliary strength.
Alchemy was a form of rest, while true work was cultivation. During this period, Mi Xiaojing would sleep for one or two hours, almost equivalent to not sleeping at all. In just over twenty days, he not only obtained many spirit pills but also made a small advancement in his cultivation level.
After storing the pills and putting away the pill furnace, Mi Xiaojing left the alchemy room. As soon as he walked out, he saw Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli waiting at the door.
Seeing Mi Xiaojing come out, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Mi Xiaojing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect a Foundation Establishment Ancestor and a Grass-Benevolence Hall steward to be waiting outside.
"Follow me!"
Chen Shouyi's expression was clearly not good, and Guan Shangli kept smiling bitterly. He gestured for Mi Xiaojing to follow.
Mi Xiaojing was puzzled, but since Chen Shouyi didn't speak, he didn't dare to ask. He could only follow silently, not knowing where he was being taken. He felt a little nervous.
After leaving the alchemy cave, Chen Shouyi remained silent and flew directly on his sword.
Guan Shangli also followed suit.
"Keep up!"
Mi Xiaojing had to release his Thunder Strike Dagger and fly up with them.
As they flew, Mi Xiaojing realized that they were heading towards the main peak. He suddenly understood that they were probably going to meet the Elemental Infant Ancestor of the Sword Heart Sect, the true high-level figures of the sect, equivalent to the Sect Leader and the Great Elder.
"It seems like we're going to meet the Sect Ancestor. What should I do?"
Mi Xiaojing already had a certain reliance on Wang Weijun. He knew he had to discuss this kind of thing with him.
"Fool, this is a good thing. You can refine pills, which is what they value the most. Don't worry about anything else."
"Are you sure nothing will happen?"
"I guarantee you'll be fine. Be bold and do whatever you need to do. Remember, don't say anything unnecessary. If you can't answer, pretend to be ignorant. Got it?"
"Okay, I understand."
Mi Xiaojing was still very honest by nature, but under Wang Weijun's guidance, he gradually became less honest. He wasn't stupid and was actually quite clever. The only thing he lacked was experience.
The three of them flew quickly. If they were walking, it would take about two days to reach the main peak, which was one of the nine peaks of the Sword Heart Sect. This place was the sect's important location and where the high-level members of the Sword Heart Sect resided.
Mi Xiaojing landed with Chen Shouyi and immediately noticed the difference. The spiritual qi here was extremely dense, and there was a certain formation that locked in the spiritual qi on the mountain, preventing it from leaking out.
The spiritual qi here was even more abundant than in the cave behind Mi Xiaojing's backyard. It was already comparable to the state when the Gathering Spirit Array was activated.
However, Mi Xiaojing no longer envied it. He didn't need spiritual qi; he needed starlight. Starlight was everywhere, and even if there was no spiritual qi here, it wouldn't affect his cultivation. This was the most powerful aspect of the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art. This cultivation technique was suitable for cultivators who liked to travel between various planets.
It should be noted that there were places that were not suitable for cultivators to go, but for cultivators who practiced the Starry Sky Qianyuan Art, they could go anywhere in the universe. For those who cultivated this technique, as long as they were in the cosmic starry sky, they would never lack a source of power. This was an extremely advanced cultivation technique and system.
As they walked up the mountain path, Mi Xiaojing noticed a light drizzle falling. He was surprised to find that it was a misty rain condensed from spiritual qi. It was quite luxurious, and Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli were breathing rhythmically, indicating that they were in a state of cultivation. The speed at which the two of them walked became very slow.
Mi Xiaojing looked on in astonishment. It seemed that Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli didn't often have the opportunity to enter this place, otherwise, they wouldn't have such behavior.
Although the two of them were not walking fast, they eventually arrived at the main hall of the Sword Heart Sect. There were no guards here, nor were there servants wandering around. The surroundings were unusually quiet, and there were almost no figures to be seen.
The Sect Master's hall was spacious. When they stepped into the hall, Wang Weijun said, "This place is good. There are so many protective formations. Hmm, the person who set up these formations is quite powerful."
Mi Xiaojing had always known that Wang Weijun had a high opinion of himself. Since he could praise it, it proved that the formations here were indeed extraordinary.
These formations were not set up by the current Sect Ancestor but by a famous expert in the history of the Sword Heart Sect.
This person had reached the Nascent Soul stage in the past, but after a great battle, he completely disappeared. It was unknown whether he was seriously injured or had been reincarnated. Generally speaking, it was extremely difficult for cultivators in the Cultivation World to die after reaching the Elemental Infant stage. They had countless means to survive.
Even a few cultivators could take this opportunity to become Loose Immortals. It should be noted that for cultivators who wanted to reach the Mahayana stage, overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, and ascend to the Immortal World, it was an extremely difficult task. Many high-level cultivators either became Loose Immortals or reincarnated. If all else failed, they could even cultivate demons, ghosts, or even demons.
This kind of Nascent Soul expert was already a great power in the eyes of cultivators. The formations he set up were not surprising, but they were still appreciated by Wang Weijun. However, it was only appreciation. His strength was one realm higher than the most powerful ancestor in the history of the Sword Heart Sect. He had once reached the Unity stage, a super powerful expert.
There were three people sitting in the main hall. Chen Shouyi was directly frightened, except for the Elemental Infant Ancestor Yu Hong, everyone else was present. Sect Master Mo Chentian, Great Elder Mu Hengyuan, and the only female Great Elder, Immortal Maiden Biliu, were all sitting on rush cushions with their eyes closed, cultivating.
Chen Shouyi and Guan Shangli didn't dare to breathe heavily and walked up cautiously. They silently saluted and stood to the side. Mi Xiaojing followed suit and saluted before standing to the side.After waiting for a good ten minutes, Mo Chentian finally opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and said, "So this is Mi Xiaojing?"
Chen Shouyi quickly signaled for Mi Xiaojing to step forward.
In the Cultivation World, the higher the rank within a sect, the stricter the hierarchy. Chen Shouyi, being only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, didn't dare to breathe heavily in front of a master at the Elemental Infant stage. This kind of invisible pressure was truly unbearable.
Mu Hengyuan and the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden also opened their eyes. Mu Hengyuan was curious. This man had been the talk of the town recently, claiming to be able to refine Foundation Establishment Pills while only at the Qi Refining stage. They were not fools. With a little investigation and speculation, they found that it was impossible for Mi Xiaojing to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills. Therefore, the only possibility was that this child had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the Foundation Establishment Pill was refined by him.
