My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 100

What exactly is the Immortal Spirit Scroll?

In the Lingnan Region, ordinary sects take ordinary people as disciples, while the Lingnan Immortal Sect takes outstanding disciples from ordinary sects as disciples.

The Dao Sword Sect holds a Grand Questioning of the Dao every fifty years to harvest leeks in the North Chu Country. The Lingnan Immortal Sect issues Immortal Spirit Scrolls all over the world to harvest leeks from all sects in the Lingnan Region.

This is the Immortal Spirit Scroll - a qualification letter to become a disciple of the Lingnan Immortal Sect.

Anyone with an Immortal Spirit Scroll can go to the Lingnan Immortal Sect to officially become a disciple and learn skills.

Therefore, all those gifted in talent and all those who desire to make further progress on the path of cultivation in the entire Lingnan Region yearn for an Immortal Spirit Scroll leading to the Lingnan Immortal Sect.

But can the Immortal Spirit Scrolls be obtained so casually?

Without a solid enough foundation and unmatched talent, would the Lingnan Immortal Sect bestow Immortal Spirit Scrolls?

But now, there lies a shiny golden Immortal Spirit Scroll in front of Qin Ran.

Looking at the palm-sized scroll in Su Changqing's hand, Qin Ran smiled and said, "I dare not accept an Immortal Spirit Scroll with only medium-grade water spirit root." His expression remained calm with hints of rejection.

Seeing Qin Ran did not lose composure because of the Immortal Spirit Scroll and even had the intention to reject it with a calm expression, Su Changqing's eyes showed some approval.

"Spirit root?" He shook his head with a smile and said, "Spirit root can only determine the speed of cultivation, not the path of cultivation. Going fast does not necessarily mean going far. But someone like Brother Qin is qualified to compete for the immortal path."

"In the Lingnan Immortal Sect, I've seen ten-year-old Golden Core cultivators, but never seen a hundred-year-old Primordial Infant. Judging by Brother Qin's composure, I know you are a fellow cultivator on the path to immortality."

"Brother Su flatters me!" Qin Ran still took the Immortal Spirit Scroll in the end.

"I hope to see Brother Qin in the sect by the end of this year," Su Changqing said with a laugh. "We can discuss scriptures and the Dao at that time."

"Sure."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they were interrupted by several intense ripples of cultivation base from a distance. They quickly looked over and saw several escaping lights flying rapidly towards them.

The escaping lights looked somewhat familiar to Qin Ran. After thinking for a bit, he recognized the visitors and stopped talking.

As the escaping light closed in, the person at the front showed his figure. It turned out to be Gu Yueming, the Sect Master of the Dao Sword Sect. He stopped in front and looked around. After grasping the situation, he bowed to Elder Ning and said, "Dao Sword Sect Master Gu Yueming, I pay my respects to the senior immortal from the sect."

Elder Ning nodded slightly at him in return greeting.

At the side, Qin Ran, holding the unconscious Chase Wind and the Immortal Spirit Scroll he just obtained, also bowed to Gu Yueming and said, "Sect Master."

Gu Yueming looked towards Qin Ran and noticed the Immortal Spirit Scroll in his hand. His face darkened as he asked, "What are you doing here?"

His expression couldn't be good after having his leeks cut right in front of him.

"Picking herbs," Qin Ran came up with an excuse.

Qin Ran was known for his prudence and steadiness. Gu Yueming found it hard to believe he would come deep into the Hengduan Mountains to pick herbs alone. So he examined Qin Ran closely and noticed the fluctuations of his cultivation base.

He was startled for a moment, thinking of a certain possibility, and asked, "Was it you who just overcame the Heavenly Tribulation here?"

It was normal for Qin Ran who had just broken through to have unstable aura.

"Yes," Qin Ran knew he couldn't hide it and admitted, then unconvincingly added, "I was picking herbs and happened to break through unexpectedly."

Gu Yueming nodded slightly and didn't say more to him. Instead, he looked to Elder Ning and asked respectfully, "The senior immortals have travelled a long way, why not come to the Dao Sword Sect for a sit?"

"Do you know about the recent frenzied berserk beasts?" Elder Ning didn't respond but asked directly.

"I do."

"Do you know about the Devouring Demon Willow?"

"I do."

"Do you know about the current changes with the Devouring Demon Willow?"

Gu Yueming hesitated and still shook his head, "I don't know."

"This time, the Devouring Demon Willow is determined to congeal its Dao!" Elder Ning said.

Gu Yueming's expression changed slightly.

"I see the sects in this land of immortal legacy are all foolishly arrogant people who haven't prepared at all!

"What, do you want the Devouring Demon Willow to kill all living beings in the entire land of immortal legacy with everyone's blood to congeal its personal Dao?" Elder Ning berated harshly.

So the upper echelons of the sects did know about the Devouring Demon Willow but had no preparation at all despite knowing about the chaos caused by the level nine Devouring Demon Willow... As expected, it did not betray Elder Ning's evaluation of them as foolishly arrogant.

Having said this, Elder Ning lectured the Sect Master for a bit. The Sect Master then suggested going to the Dao Sword Sect to discuss countermeasures.

Elder Ning agreed.

During their conversation, Qin Ran learned that the reason why the Sect Master's group came here was that they sensed the anomaly of this place and thought some heaven-defying treasure had emerged. So they came with the same mindset as that five tailed fox demon.

It seemed that he still underestimated these high-level cultivators. He thought this place was remote enough and no one would know. But it still got discovered.

Speaking of the five tailed fox demon, there had been no movement from her for quite a while. Qin Ran hurriedly turned around to check and found that the alluring woman had transformed back into the five tailed fox form. She was sneakily escaping with her tails between her legs.

She had already retreated to the tree canopy a good distance away from them.

It turned out that after seeing more and more people arrive, with the heaven-defying treasure gone and the situation getting increasingly dangerous instead, cold feet crept up the five tailed fox demon's mind. Taking advantage of Elder Ning interrogating the Sect Master, she secretly slipped away.

As she retreated, she suddenly met eyes with Qin Ran. Panicked, she glared at Qin Ran, warning him not to make a sound or meddle, then continued slinking into the forest below.

Qin Ran shook his head and pretended not to see her.

But Qin Ran was lazy by nature. Others may not let it go that easily. Seeing a five-tailed fox demon trying to escape, an elder from the Dao Sword Sect hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to capture it... If they couldn't get the treasure, catching a level five demonic beast was also good.

"Let her go!" Elder Ning called out to stop him. "All living beings have spirituality. You cultivate relying on the Hengduan Mountains Range. You have gained countless blessings but why don't you treat the demonic beasts here better? Remember that a demon's life is still life."

The group from Dao Sword Sect all bowed their heads in shame. Only Qin Ran cynically thought to himself, it seemed the Lingnan Immortal Sect had already started harvesting leeks from demonic beasts.

After the five-tailed fox demon escaped far away, this side's group also rose up towards the Dao Sword Sect.

Elder Ning rode the clouds and chatted with the Sect Master. They soon arrived at the Dao Sword Sect. The clouds stopped midair while the Sect Master came forward to open the mountain protecting great array.

At this time, Bai Ruoxi suddenly noticed something off about Qin Ran. He was lowering his head, massaging his brows, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you?" She kindly asked.

Qin Ran shook his head without answering... He couldn't speak, or he would vomit.

"It's probably because he just broke through, his cultivation is unstable," Su Changqing explained on his behalf.

Bai Ruoxi nodded and examined Qin Ran closely again. She faintly felt something amiss.

Entering the sect gate, the crowd landed outside the Grand Questioning Hall at the main peak. The Sect Master invited the people from Lingnan Immortal Sect into the hall to discuss countermeasures against the Devouring Demon Willow.
