Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

121. Chapter 121 Big Dipper Seven Star School

Chapter 121: The Northern Dipper Seven Star Sect

Jiuye Mountain Market.

After finishing fishing at two first-tier fishing spots this week, Su Ping returned to his foundation in Jiuye Mountain.

First, he checked to see if his subordinates were working diligently.

Then, he wrote down the materials he needed and handed the list to the steward.

The steward would then pass the list to Wanbaolou in the market to announce the purchasing requirements.

As long as the materials were not too valuable or rare, relying on the face of a Foundation Building cultivator, they could generally be obtained from those cultivation families.

"Hmm?"

"Invitation from Senior Mu?"

Su Ping checked the message and saw the invitation from Mu, a Foundation Building cultivator from Yunshan Market.

He hoped to meet today at midnight in Yunshan.

Su Ping originally planned not to go, but when he saw the mention of testing spiritual roots and ancient techniques, he couldn't help but be intrigued.

It wasn't that he intended to establish a sect in Jiuye Mountain Market.

But with a tool to test spiritual roots, he could detect more potential talents on the Water Blue Star... and perhaps even recruit named disciples.

Even without related spiritual bodies, as long as they had high-quality or even top-grade spiritual roots, these large immortal sects would compete for them. It was likely that they would have high cultivation potential for Su Ping as well!

Unfortunately, the tool to test spiritual roots and the related knowledge had always been tightly sealed by the major immortal sects.

There were restrictions on both usage and inheritance.

Even if a true disciple was not responsible for the Ascension Ceremony, they still couldn't obtain the relevant tool.

After thinking about it, considering that he had the memory illusion, Su Ping was confident that he couldn't fail.

So he decided to go and see the situation.

Hastily, Su Ping arrived near Yunshan Market at the designated time.

After transforming into the memory illusion, Su Ping controlled the illusion as the identity of Senior Baihe and headed to Yunshan Market.

Although Senior Baihe in this state appeared to only have the cultivation of the later stage of Qi Refining, under the envelopment of his divine sense, anyone with a lower perception of divine sense than Su Ping would know that the person in front of them was a Foundation Building cultivator and naturally avoid him.

Even if he encountered a Foundation Building cultivator with a higher realm and stronger divine sense, as long as there was no enmity between them, they generally wouldn't choose to break through Su Ping's divine sense envelopment to investigate the true condition of Senior Baihe.

There was a greater probability that they would simply assume that the other party had a secret technique that intentionally suppressed their cultivation.

Senior Baihe smoothly entered Yunshan Market and didn't immediately head to the mountaintop. Instead, he strolled through the streets of stalls.

He spent some spirit stones to buy different varieties of spiritual rice and various spiritual materials from them.

Relying on his divine sense, he still couldn't find any bargains, as there were no opportunities for that here.

But no one dared to let him suffer a loss either.

Everyone who could set up a stall in this large market was shrewd and knew what kind of spirit stones could be earned and what couldn't.

Su Ping went to the mountaintop and received a warm reception from Senior Mu, who had been waiting there for a while.

And not long after, when the time mentioned in the message arrived.

Suddenly, there were flickering lights in the sky.

Then, various sizes of immortal boats appeared and entered the formation of the market, approaching the peak temple.

Immediately, cultivators riding spirit beasts or stepping on some kind of magical tool descended one by one.

Su Ping glanced over and saw that there were twelve cultivators qualified to participate in Mu Zhenren's invitation.

Not all of them were Foundation Building cultivators.

Among the twelve, only two men and one woman had their divine consciousness wrapped around them, indicating that they were Foundation Building cultivators.

The other nine were all Qi Refining consummation cultivators, and judging from their age, they were not young.

Several of them even had a feeling of declining vitality and decaying bodies in Su Ping's divine consciousness.

According to common knowledge in the cultivation world, if these nine people didn't get any great opportunities, they would probably have no hope of reaching Foundation Building in this lifetime.

Looking at the few Foundation Building cultivators invited from the Foundation Building in Yunshan Market, there weren't many.

In the lower levels of the current cultivation world, Foundation Building cultivators were obviously more valuable and scarce.

In this seemingly abandoned area by the Red Kite Immortal Sect, this seemed to be even more true.

Most of those small cultivation families only had Foundation Building ancestors in their sects, and the next generations were not as good as the previous ones.

The highest cultivation level of the elders was mostly Qi Refining consummation.

They might not even have learned any divine abilities and were not much different from other late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

The cultivators in front of Su Ping were naturally the outstanding ones from small cultivation families, as can be seen from their ability to afford immortal boats.

Su Ping quickly discovered that they should not be participating in this kind of gathering for the first time, and they had some relationships with each other.

They were also very interested in Su Ping, the newly promoted Foundation Building cultivator, and their intention to befriend him was evident.

Even the other three unfamiliar Foundation Building cultivators were quite friendly towards Su Ping.

At least on the surface, everyone seemed to be getting along well, like long-lost family members!

This was the second time entering the temple, and Mu Zhenren, as the host, clapped his hands.

Immediately, more than ten beautiful cat girls came over with hot tea.

Su Ping looked over and immediately noticed something unusual.

These cat girls had empty eyes, as if they were soulless dolls.

"They are some novelty items from the Western Wilderness merchant ships. Besides cat girls, there are also bunny girls and snake girls."

"But they are all just appearances, and their souls have long been extinguished. They only had a bit of novelty at the beginning."

Mu Zhenren shook his head slightly and commented on these maids, then waved his hand to let them retreat.

After everyone had their tea, a female Foundation Building cultivator spoke up and started the gathering.

Su Ping listened silently and more or less understood that this gathering was a regular exchange meeting for the cultivation forces around Yunshan Market.

Before Mu Zhenren arrived, the host was a Foundation Building cultivator from the outer gate of the sect.

Mu Zhenren was just going along with the local customs, using this as a platform to leverage the local forces as an outsider.

As for Su Ping, his identity was only the inspector of the Golden Sparrow City before, and in the eyes of these people, he was no different from a transparent person.

It was estimated that no one could have imagined that Su Ping, who was the inspector of a mortal city a few months ago, could appear in such a gathering and have a higher status than most of the people present.

As representatives from various families exchanged information.

Su Ping also learned that the overall situation of the Red Kite Immortal Sect had been getting worse recently.

Not only the Qixin Sect, but other factions as well have been instigated to encroach on the territory of the Chiyan Immortal Sect, including the Gold Core sects.

The Great Golden Light Temple seems to have silently acquiesced to this, never intervening.

It seems that these Buddhist monks who come to the territory of the Chiyan Immortal Sect are really only here to seal evil spirits and prevent the spread of evil energy.

However, the outbreak of evil spirits is increasing, and the negative effects are also growing.

In this regard, an old lady claiming to be from the Yu family presented a projection jade slip and played a video sent by their relatives in the Immortal Sect.

In the north, where the Great Golden Light Temple has given up on retreating, there is already no rooster crowing for a thousand miles, and it is a wasteland of evil spirits and malevolent spirits everywhere.

In such an environment, spiritual energy becomes even more difficult to cultivate.

Even some marketplaces or spiritual vein locations that rely on powerful formations are forced to migrate to minimize losses.

"The entire region has undergone changes, and the influx of evil energy is terrifying..."

After watching, Muzhenren sighed and said, "No wonder the Great Golden Light Temple and those hidden experts have been alarmed this time. They not only created a merit list but also extinguished fires everywhere."

"It seems that they have known for a long time that if they don't take action now, the entire cultivation world may be engulfed by rampant evil energy, right?"

Muzhenren started the discussion, immediately causing a wave of agreement. Everyone felt a sense of worry about the future.

But then they all felt that even if the sky collapsed, there would be someone to support it. It was still more important to seize the time to accumulate resources and strength, so as not to be swept away by the overall situation without even a chance to escape.

Afterward, the focus of the meeting shifted.

Muzhenren smiled and took out a scroll, which he opened.

Everyone saw that the scroll contained a map, and in one area of the map, there was a faint blue light.

"This is..."

"The sea beyond the overseas islands?"

"That's a dangerous place!"

After seeing the map, a female cultivator at the Foundation Building stage frowned and asked.

"Yes, it is indeed the area beyond the overseas islands," Muzhenren said, stroking his three-inch beard with a smile. "But don't worry, although it is the open sea, it is only the periphery. The island we are going to is nearby."

"It is a small relic that emerged under recent spatial turbulence!"

Muzhenren said this.

Su Ping already understood what he meant. They were going to send someone to explore the relic?

Could it be that his spiritual root detection artifact was also there?

Su Ping frowned slightly and instinctively felt that it would be better not to go.

But then he suddenly heard a familiar term.

"This place was initially discovered by a group of fishermen, and later my people went to investigate and found that it is the mountain gate of the Beidou Seven Stars Sect!"

"The Beidou Seven Stars Sect? One of the ancient sects that split from the ancient sects?"

"It's a pity that the later generations didn't make good use of it."

Note: The translation provided is a faithful representation of the original Chinese text. However, it is important to note that the translation may not capture the full cultural and contextual nuances of the text.

"This sect, if I remember correctly, was once annihilated by the Red Kite Immortal a thousand years ago. Is that overseas location where the remnants of those who escaped settled?"

An old cultivator's heart stirred upon hearing this.

Muzhen nodded.

"That's right, it is one of the branches that emerged after the main peak of that sect, which was rumored to be the unrivaled ruler of the world, perished."

"From what I can see now, that island should be one of the outer sect mountain gates they set up back then."

"According to the information I have collected, there is a high probability that there is a spiritual root detection artifact that White Crane Daoist friend needs."

"In addition, there is a high probability that there will be some ancient cultivation techniques and rare or even extinct spiritual materials."

"A thousand years is not too long for a mountain gate protected by formations, so most of the items should still be usable."

"And this is just a remnant left behind by the remnants, so the danger should not be too great."

"Everyone... are you willing to accompany me?"

Muzhen looked around and found that White Crane Daoist, whom he thought would be interested, had a mature expression and kept his head down without expressing his stance.

After waiting for a while.

Only one male Foundation Building and one female Foundation Building agreed.

The rest, except for two Qi Refining Grand Completion cultivators who were close to death and hesitated for a long time, reluctantly agreed.

Including Muzhen, there were only five people who agreed to go on this trip.

Muzhen seemed quite satisfied with this result. He had the maid serve another round of tea. After leaving behind the few people who agreed, the rest of the attendees wished Muzhen and the others good luck and left the meeting.

Su Ping left Yunshan Market.

He was actually a little tempted in his heart, so he remembered the location on the map.

He just didn't feel very reassured about following an old Foundation Building like Muzhen to the ruins. It didn't seem reliable.

Then, not long after returning to Jiuye Mountain Market.

Su Ping learned an astonishing news from a superintendent of the Qixin Sect who suddenly visited and inquired about information!

The soul lamp of Muzhen, the person from Yunshan Market... had actually extinguished!

At the same time, he also learned about the news of the ruins of the Beidou Seven Stars Sect on that island. For some reason, it had already spread throughout the surrounding area.

Many large and small cultivation families nearby had sent people to investigate.

However, all the Foundation Building cultivators perished there.

This made the cultivators love and hate this ruin, and for a while, no one dared to enter and seize the new opportunities.

"Beidou Seven Stars Sect!"

"As a branch, they should also have a part of the Beidou Death Scripture, right?"

"Perhaps I can go and take a look at this commotion?"

"After all, I can completely control the illusion of memory to explore. With the advantage of being able to consume countless lives, I should be able to obtain some good things, right?"

Su Ping checked his equipment.

Especially the teleportation talismans and Thunderlight Fox talisman that reached double digits.

This made Su Ping make up his mind to go to that island, and then he himself wouldn't even go up to the island, he would use the illusion of memory to explore.

To see if he could gain any benefits.

There should be something tomorrow during the day, so the update will be posted in the evening.
