Chapter 50: The Pill Cauldron Sect

Yan Wen Lingfeng said, "This Tuoba Ye is really too lucky! It's a good thing he didn't join any sect, or it would have been even more troublesome."

"Tuoba Ye has a balanced and useless spiritual root, no sect would want him," Qian Duoduo said.

Du Yusheng smiled and said, "That's right, we can't let Tuoba Ye have all the good fortune, can we?"

The young men and women provided by the five major families of the Warring States were quickly tested, and those with talent mostly joined cultivation sects.

However, a few, like Tuoba Ye, had balanced and useless spiritual roots and were not chosen by any sect.

"Master, I won't go to the Immortal Sword Sect. I'll stay and cultivate with you," Zhan Meng said, worried for Tuoba Ye.

Tuoba Ye was somewhat moved, "Zhan Meng, don't talk like a child. The Immortal Sword Sect is a great opportunity for you, you can't miss it."

"Alright!" Zhan Meng always followed Tuoba Ye's words.

Although Tuoba Ji no longer disliked Tuoba Ye, he still felt a bit smug seeing that Tuoba Ye had not joined any sect.

This was the competitive nature of young people, which was inevitable.

He still hoped that Tuoba Ye would join a cultivation sect, as it would be beneficial for the Tuoba family.

"Cousin, you have innate strength, surely some sect will choose you," Tuoba Ji consoled.

Tuoba Ye smiled, "It's fine. Even if no cultivation sect wants me, I can still carve out my own path."

After the five major families were tested, the representatives of the sects began to test other young men and women.

However, Wuhua and Duan Yu were not very interested. In such a small country, the possibility of a world-class genius appearing was very low. They were unwilling to waste their energy, and even if other powerful people found a world-class genius, they could still snatch them away.

Those young men and women who were not chosen by any sect could still choose.

With the involvement of the Xuan Nv Palace and the Immortal Sword Sect, no one would be foolish enough to choose other sects.

Testing hundreds of thousands of young men and women would not be completed in a short time.

The Tuoba family had all been tested and returned to the Treasure Gathering Tower, including Zhan Meng. They would only leave when Duan Yu and the others departed.

"Xiao Ye, if no cultivation sect chose you, it's because they are blind. Don't take it to heart," Tuoba Xiong consoled.

The situation of the Tuoba family had already been reported to Tuoba Xiong.

Tuoba Ye smiled, "Grandfather, don't worry, I'm not upset. This time, our Tuoba family is the most prominent. Zhan Meng joined the Immortal Sword Sect, and he is the only one. Xia Ju and Xia Mei joined the Xuan Nv Palace, which is also enviable. Even Cousin Tuoba Ji joined the Divine Artifact Sect."

"Xiao Ye, are you really fine?" Tuoba Jie was somewhat worried.

"Father, don't worry. Even if no cultivation sect chooses me, I can still enter the cultivation world," Tuoba Ye said. "I also had a good harvest today, a third-grade spirit artifact and a Heavenly Profound Pill. Father, you started cultivating at an age that is already too old. Unless you have a great opportunity, it's hard to enter the Qi Condensation Realm. This Heavenly Profound Pill is for you, it can make you a Qi Condensation Realm expert."

"Xiao Ye, I can't take your Heavenly Profound Pill, you will need it in the future," Tuoba Jie shook his head.

The Heavenly Profound Pill was a huge temptation for cultivators like Tuoba Jie, but he still refused.

Tuoba Ye smiled, "Father, just take it. I don't need the Heavenly Profound Pill to become a Qi Condensation Realm expert."

"Alright, no more refusal! Tuoba Jie, don't let Xiao Ye down, take it," Tuoba Xiong said.

In the Tuoba family, Tuoba Xiong made the decisions. Since he spoke, Tuoba Jie had to take the Heavenly Profound Pill.

"Xiao Ye, between us, I won't say thank you."

"Of course!"

Tuoba Wei also returned from the Southern Wilderness, and he was very happy to learn that Tuoba Ji had joined the Divine Artifact Sect.

"Tuoba Ji, from now on, you are part of the Tuoba family's cultivation lineage. You must listen to Great-Grandfather, remember that!" Tuoba Wei said.

"Grandfather, rest assured! I will definitely listen to Great-Grandfather," Tuoba Ji said.

After spending more time with Tuoba Ye, Tuoba Ji knew that Tuoba Ye was very mysterious and had a mysterious master. His former arrogance had been largely worn away.

Seeing the family's harmony, Tuoba Xiong was in high spirits, "Today, the Treasure Gathering Tower will celebrate. This is a great joy for our Tuoba family. Zhan Meng, Xia Ju, Xia Mei, after the celebration, prepare well and then go to your respective sects! In the future, if you achieve something and are willing to support the Tuoba family, I will be very grateful. If you are unwilling to help the Tuoba family, I will not blame you. I only hope that you will not do anything to harm the Tuoba family."

"Master, you can rest assured. Master will always be my master, and the Tuoba family is my home!" Zhan Meng said.

Zhan Meng became a slave due to internal conflicts in the Southern Wilderness, as they did not want to see the Zhan clan produce a genius and rapidly grow strong.

He was made a slave, so he naturally had no grudge against the Tuoba family.

"Madam, we sisters will always be part of the Tuoba family. We have no other relatives," Xia Mei said.

Tuoba Xiong was so happy that his beard was wagging, "Good! Good! You are all excellent!"

The Treasure Gathering Tower celebrated all night, with great excitement.

Tuoba Ye was still somewhat disappointed. In his previous life, he had no spiritual root, and now he had a useless spiritual root, and no sect wanted him.

Although he knew he had a divine root in his body, he could not yet mobilize or use it with his current cultivation level. If he could not speed up his cultivation, having a divine root would be in vain.

If he could not utilize the divine root and the divine punishment talisman, they would hinder his cultivation, as these two treasures would take away 90% of the energy, making Tuoba Ye's cultivation speed ten times slower than other cultivators.

Even if Tuoba Ye could refine spirit talismans to speed up his cultivation, he still could not catch up with ordinary cultivators.

Of course, if the divine root and the divine punishment talisman could be used, they would greatly benefit Tuoba Ye, and providing 90% of the energy would be worth it.

However, Tuoba Ye was clueless about how to use the divine root. As for the divine punishment talisman, it had nine cracks that needed to be repaired. Repairing the divine punishment talisman was not easy, requiring precious materials and mastery of the art of divine talismans.

Based on Tuoba Ye's understanding of the divine punishment talisman and the art of divine talismans, he would need to repair one crack to mobilize a tiny bit of the talisman's power.

The divine punishment talisman was an extremely powerful treasure. Even mobilizing a tiny bit of its power would allow Tuoba Ye to defeat enemies of higher levels.

"It seems I must explore on my own and cannot rely on others," Tuoba Ye said with a bitter smile.

Without guidance, he would definitely take many detours, but Tuoba Ye had no choice.

If he could join any sect, he could receive systematic training and lay a solid foundation, which was what he needed most.

Tuoba Ye tried to calm down and began to study the art of divine talismans.

With his current limited cultivation, he could only refine the simplest few types of spirit talismans, which had limited power.

He continued to study because he wanted to cultivate a divine talisman body.

Tuoba Ye firmly believed that he could forge his own path and let others follow the path he opened.

In the following days, the Tuoba family did not go to the royal arena, but news kept coming.

Perhaps due to the impending chaos, many talents emerged, and almost every day, someone was chosen by a cultivation sect.

In previous Immortal Edges, it was rare to see young men and women with three-attribute constitutions in the Warring States. This time, two extremely talented disciples appeared: Zhan Meng and Situ Yuer. A dual-attribute genius also emerged, which was unprecedented in the Warring States.

Seeing the many talents in the Warring States, the powerful cultivators from the sects patiently tested the constitutions.

Of the twelve sects, most had good harvests, but the Pill Cauldron Sect had not yet found a suitable disciple.

On the Divine Martial Continent, the sects dedicated to alchemy had long declined, and the only alchemy sect was the Pill Cauldron Sect.

The Pill Cauldron Sect was not very powerful, even weaker than medium-sized sects, but the other sects were still friendly to it because they had a great demand for elixirs. The few alchemists in their own sects could not meet the demand.

The cultivation techniques of the Pill Cauldron Sect required specific attributes, only choosing young men and women with wood or fire attributes.

Originally, Tuoba Ji had a fire attribute among his three attributes and a constitution that leaned towards fire, meeting the requirements of the Pill Cauldron Sect, but he was taken by the Divine Artifact Sect first.

The Divine Artifact Sect was much more powerful than the Pill Cauldron Sect, so the Pill Cauldron Sect's expert could not snatch him.

The Pill Cauldron Sect's expert, Mu Linshen, had bad luck and missed several young men and women with suitable attributes, which made him very frustrated: "I'm so frustrated, I missed a young man with suitable attributes. If this continues, I will return empty-handed. This can't happen; our Pill Cauldron Sect is already getting weaker, and I must bring back some disciples to report to my master."

Seeing that there were not many young men and women left, if he still had no harvest, he would definitely be punished by his master.

Mu Linshen was very anxious and quickly asked for favors from the other sects' experts: "Senior Brothers and Sisters, you all have good harvests, but our Pill Cauldron Sect has nothing. There are not many young men and women left to test. Could you let me test them all? I just hope to find a disciple with suitable attributes. If I find a suitable disciple, I will greatly thank you all."

Almost all the people had been tested, and there were at most five thousand young men and women left.

Duan Yu and Wuhua did not participate, and the other sects' experts discussed and agreed. Since the possibility of a genius appearing among a few thousand people was very low, it was better to do a favor.

Building a good relationship with the Pill Cauldron Sect was very beneficial, as only the Pill Cauldron Sect could refine the Heavenly Profound Pill.

"Senior Brother Mu Linshen, since you put it that way, we will definitely give you the chance. The remaining people will be tested by you," a powerful expert from the Green City Sect said.

"Thank you all!" Mu Linshen was extremely grateful.

He had no choice; as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he did not want to miss it.

Seeing the thousands of young men and women below, he began to test them one by one, muttering, "A disciple with suitable attributes must appear, must appear!..."
