Chapter 109: Candidates to be Sent to the Full Moon Mountain Range

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Four years later, on the main peak, the Qingyun Sect began their preparations as the Tidal Moon approached.

The Qingyun Sect leader, Mu Chen, sat on the main seat and looked at the people below.

These people were divided into four teams, each led by a Core Formation Stage elder.

Including Mu Chen himself, there were only five Core Formation Stage elders in the entire Qingyun Sect.

Han Yuanshan was another Core Formation Stage elder.

Unlike the other elders who had three or four Foundation Establishment direct disciples standing beside them, Bai Dafei was the only one standing beside Elder Han.

This was not because Elder Han did not manage to recruit more disciples.

It was because Han Yuanshan was especially interested in his disciples’ talents in pill refinement.

Han Yuanshan had only accepted three disciples.

The eldest disciple was currently nowhere to be found. It had been more than 10 years since Han Yuanshan last saw him.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Qingyun Medallion that he had left in the sect was still intact, Han Yuanshan would have considered him dead.

The remaining two disciples were Lu Yuan and Bai Dafei.

Han Yuanshan had a tough time dealing with his two disciples.

Although Bai Dafei had a good personality, was well-connected in the sect and everyone had a good impression of him, his cultivation talent and pill refinement talent could only be considered above average.

It was impossible for him to completely inherit Han Yuanshan’s legacy.

He estimated that Bai Dafei’s highest achievement would be the Core Formation Stage at most.

Moreover, he would only be a relatively ordinary Core Formation Stage cultivator.

With Bai Dafei’s character of going with the flow, he definitely wouldn’t choose to cultivate multiple spiritual roots. It was because cultivating multiple spiritual roots would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of breaking through to the Core Formation Stage.

There was a huge difference between a Golden Core with a single spiritual root and a Golden Core with multiple spiritual roots.

In fact, among his disciples, Han Yuanshan thought highly of Lu Yuan.

Although Lu Yuan had almost no hope of breaking through to the Core Formation Stage in this lifetime, his talent in pill refinement was the highest among Han Yuanshan’s disciples.

Although Lu Yuan would not be able to form his Golden Core, it was not a problem for him to reach Pseudo Core Stage.

With cultivation at the Pseudo Core Stage, Lu Yuan could already refine many Core Formation Stage medicinal pills.

After using these medicinal pills, Lu Yuan might be able to break through to the Core Formation Stage.

This was Han Yuanshan’s judgment of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan’s talent in pill refinement was good, but his personality gave Han Yuanshan a headache.

Stability was not a bad thing for a pharmacist.

After all, most of the time, pharmacists did not need to fight themselves.

However, being overly steady was not a good thing.

This was because when pharmacists refined certain pills, they also had to bear a certain level of risk.

There were many pharmacists who died in accidents during pill refinement.

Han Yuanshan felt that with Lu Yuan’s personality, he would most likely not refine those high-risk pills.

He would only focus on those pills that were the safest and he was most confident in refining.

Such a pharmacist could not be considered bad. In reality, most pharmacists would not refine pills that they were not familiar with.

However, pharmacists who did this would not be able to achieve much in the end, and they would be reduced to mediocrity.

If Lu Yuan’s talent in pill refinement was only about the same as Bai Dafei’s, Han Yuanshan naturally wouldn’t have high expectations for him. It would be good if he could develop steadily.

However, Lu Yuan undoubtedly had a very good talent in pill refinement.

Han Yuanshan didn’t want Lu Yuan to waste his talent.

He should advance further on the path of pill refinement and not be dragged down by his overly steady personality.

However, Han Yuanshan hadn’t found many ways to change Lu Yuan’s personality so far.

In addition, Lu Yuan had just learned pill refinement not long ago, so Han Yuanshan did not expect much from him at the moment.

He would think of a way to correct the former’s personality in the future.

While Han Yuanshan was deep in thought, Sect Leader Mu Chen finally announced the purpose of gathering everyone after seeing that almost everyone was here.

“Everyone, the restrictions on the Full Moon Demonic Kingdom will be lifted soon. This will be another great opportunity for our sect.”

“Everyone here is a core disciple of our sect. Your masters should have told you how important this Tidal Moon is to the sect.”

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that the existence of the Tidal Moon is the reason why the five righteous sects have been able to maintain our transcendent status.”

“The Demon Sealing Array around the Full Moon Mountain Range not only guarantees that the powerful demons in the mountain range can’t easily leave the mountain range, but also guarantees that the celestial herbs and treasures there far exceed those in other regions.”

“On top of that, there are also many magic items and cultivation techniques left behind by ancient cultivators in the Full Moon Mountain Range.”

“Many of the cultivation techniques and divine abilities in our Qingyun Sect were actually obtained during expeditions to the demonic kingdom during the Tidal Moons.”

“I believe everyone understands why I’ve gathered you here.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

The Tidal Moon was a once-in-300-years event. For most people, it was obviously an opportunity that they could not miss.

This was true for both Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators.

During the previous Tidal Moons, many cultivators had relied on the resources obtained from the demonic kingdom to obtain huge opportunities and break through to the Core Formation Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage.

It was rumored that the number one Nascent Soul cultivator in the Taohua Sect had obtained a great opportunity during the previous Tidal Moon.

That was why he could advance by leaps and bounds and cultivate to his current level.

Mu Chen looked down at the Core Formation Stage elders and Foundation Establishment Stage disciples. After a moment of silence, he said, “Everyone, I gathered you today to decide on the candidates to send to the Full Moon Mountain Range during the Tidal Moon.”

“I must remind everyone once again that the fluctuation of spiritual energy of the Tidal Moon this time seems to be much stronger than the previous one. Perhaps some peerless treasures or great demons might appear.”

“After discussing with the other patriarchs, our sect’s Nascent Soul patriarch feels that there will be great opportunities in this Tidal Moon.”

“Thus, the patriarch has personally ordered that only 30 percent of the Foundation Establishment disciples will remain in the sect. The rest will be sent to the Full Moon Mountain Range to fight for this rare opportunity.”

“In addition, each elder must send at least one direct disciple to participate in this Tidal Moon. There is no room for negotiation.”

“And if anyone wishes to go voluntarily, not only will the sect not stop you, but we will also give you rich rewards.”

“Alright, that’s all I have to say. Everyone, decide if you wish to participate..”
