Instead, the difficulty of cultivation has greatly increased.
Only after reaching the Nascent Soul stage will the advantages of the Five Spirit Roots be evident, and even then, only partially.
Therefore, the Five Elements Sword Control Sect, with its Immortal background, values the disciple’s foundation even more; otherwise, even if at the Nascent Soul stage, it doesn’t lack those, and a Single Spirit Root Nascent Soul Cultivator would only be given the consolation of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, without a major contribution, they cannot think of becoming a Core Disciple, merely a Daoist Soldier.
The Five Elements Sword Control Sect has only one goal for its disciples: to become Immortals, otherwise, anything below Nascent Soul is of little significance.
Small Knife obtained the title of Inner Sect Disciple, and his original Spirit Vein domain has not been taken back; as long as he is alive, this is his property.
This is also Small Knife’s cultivation resource.
Moreover, upon becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, he obtained another Spirit Vein elsewhere.
Through teleportation, Small Knife arrived at his cultivation site.
Goodness, it turned out to be directly a Third Realm Spirit Vein, with extremely abundant Spiritual Qi, making cultivation here naturally more effective.
And the entire area is ten times bigger than the Spirit Vein area for Outer Disciples.
Similarly, the core also has a Spirit Gathering Array, with a Spirit Pool at the center of the array, where quite a bit of Spirit Liquid has been accumulated over who knows how many years. This is all condensed from overly abundant Spiritual Qi, and for a Foundation Establishment of the Second Realm, half a drop can quickly restore all Spiritual Power.
A Third Realm Purple Mansion, depending on the Spirit Root, can be restored with two to ten drops.
Even a Fourth-Realm Golden Core, with one sip, could restore all consumption.
With this Spirit Gathering Array and Spirit Vein, if only one person is cultivating, the resources could even support a Fifth Realm Nascent Soul’s consumption.
This is the reward given by the Five Elements Sword Control Sect.
Although he brought back no benefits to the sect from the Otherworld, such a disciple is still rewarded.
Thus, this Spirit Vein became Small Knife’s domain.
Small Knife inspected it, overjoyed to find many millennium-old Spirit Medicines and Spirit Fruit Trees planted here.
Fully reaching the Third Realm.
All belong to Small Knife.
Ordinary Inner Sect Disciples don’t have this treatment.
This balanced somewhat the mind of Small Knife, who had once made an oath in his dissatisfaction.
Heavenly Dao Oath: You have already sworn an oath, and may not act against the Five Elements Sword Control Sect, or you will be struck by heavenly thunder.
Tip 1: This is restricted to the world of the Five Elements Sword Control Sect. Violating it will increase the power of the tribulation drastically.
Tip 2: Becoming a Core Disciple will require taking a great oath, which at that time will not be limited to a single world but will be effective across this world.
Tip: Only effective on oneself. Read full story at novelꜰire.net
Small Knife believes that upon entering his Personal Space, this oath should be erasable.
Unfortunately, his alternate character cannot enter the Personal Space, for reasons unknown.
The only comfort is that the oath will not affect his main body.
The Five Elements Sword Control Sect is still quite generous; as long as Small Knife remains alive, these rewards belong to him.
Only when the Soul Lamp extinguishes will the Spirit Vein be reclaimed.
Thus, every disciple is like a faction, a clan.
Naturally, Small Knife brought over several of his Daoist Soldiers to take control.
The inventory of Spirit Veins was naturally reviewed and also sent to the dedicated team he maintained in his Personal Space.
They would better manage these outputs.
After a rough calculation, the Spirit Vein of an Outer Disciple, not supporting Daoist Soldiers but only necessary servants, could yield about ten thousand Spirit Stones every decade.
And this new Spirit Vein could produce approximately five million in a hundred years.
Instantly, a fiftyfold increase in yield, making other Inner Sect Disciples incredibly envious.
This is a reward for disciples who dare to strive.
Wanting stable cultivation, unless the family influence is vast, resources are very limited.
Of course, for those with sufficient talent, Innate Five Spirit Roots, stable cultivation is not a problem.
Reaching at least Fifth Realm Nascent Soul won’t consume much.
This is already sufficient for Inner Sect Disciples, especially those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But Small Knife found it insufficient, far from enough.
He now has only Dual Spirit Roots, still considering the clone, with the main body, wanting perfect development and sufficient potential.
He needs to complement the other three Spirit Roots, reaching Five Spirit Roots, to build the Five Elements Purple Mansion, perfectly cultivating the Five Elements Sword Mansion Formulas.
But filling in the Spirit Roots, even at the lowest of Half Spirit Roots, still requires three million sect contribution points, currently, he only has one million.
It is far from enough.
Decades later, relying on the Spirit Vein’s yield, he could gather the other two million, but Small Knife shuddered at the thought of waiting decades.
He certainly couldn’t just wait. Now at Second Realm Level 300, with the Cultivation Technique, he could break through at any time, constructing the Purple Mansion and entering the Third Realm Purple Mansion Realm.
Small Knife couldn’t settle for merely constructing a Purple Mansion with Water and Earth Dual Spirit Roots; although he could remedy it later, the difficulty would be too high.
Directly building the Five Elements Purple Mansion, especially with all Five Elements, he can construct the Sword Mansion and enter the Third Realm, which is the most perfect path to Immortality offered by the Five Elements Sword Control Sect.
Small Knife wouldn’t seek any other path; in reality, he must walk this one.
Though now he’s ageless, cultivation time is never enough.
Moreover, becoming an Immortal is quite hard; with his game character leading, gathering Experience; in reality, cultivating again, he wouldn’t take many detours and would reduce errors.
Because once a mistake is made, there is no remedy for regret.
This is Small Knife’s plan.
So, the first step, first acquire three million sect contributions to complete the Five Elements Spirit Roots.
And it can’t take too long either.
Because even if completed, it’s only the lowest Half Spirit Roots, and future Spirit Root enhancement will still tax resources.
He already has one million, and he’s still two million short.
Two million Contribution?
Just right for selling off goods.
Pfft, spoils of war, how could it be called selling off goods?
A lot of Small Knife’s resources were consumed in the combat with the goblin world.
However, there are still many things he couldn’t use.
Like the Dragon’s Treasure, there’s quite a bit left.
Small Knife selected some items.
Arranging his experiences, he again acquired this portion of the Dragon’s Treasure, but the Five Elements Sword Control Sect merely inquired about some key points, not caring for details, nor asking for privacy.
The Dragon’s Treasure is plentiful, but its realm level is too low, most items only worth several hundred to a few thousand contributions at most.
However, Miracle Elixirs that enhance Spirit Roots cannot be bought outside.
Small Knife even pulled out a mass of Giant Dragon Essence Blood.
This is Dragon Beast Bloodline, some bloodline Daoist Soldiers require it, but the price is just average...!
"Small Knife didn’t sell it because the price wasn’t high enough to even improve a Kobold bloodline, enough to create a dozen or so Third-Realm Half-Dragons.
He thought its rarity would fetch a high price, but unfortunately, reality is harsh.
However, Small Knife had to sell more of the Dragon’s Treasure.
This caused the Giant Dragon Avatar to instinctively roar in a heartbroken and unwilling manner.
If it weren’t for a part of Small Knife’s consciousness able to blend into the Personal Space, things would have been different; now he understood why it was referred to as a Dragon Beast by the Steward, its beast nature was hard to erase.
He gained two million Contributions, adding to the original reward of one million.
Naturally, Small Knife exchanged for the Spiritual Supplement Pill.
Each was worth a million contributions, enough to buy a hundred Foundation Establishment Pills, absolutely not something an ordinary disciple could afford.
