Chapter 51: Good News Arrives

"The luck of the Pill Cauldron Sect is really terrible. With only a few people left, not even one has a defective spirit root," a powerful figure from the Green City Sect said with a tinge of schadenfreude.

Of course, Mu Linsen was not present as he was testing the talents of the candidates. If Mu Linsen were there, no one would dare to offend him.

Mu Linsen's face was grim. After testing one after another, he had not encountered even a single defective spirit root.

He prayed in his heart, "Even a four-attribute spirit root would be fine if it appeared!"

Unfortunately, his luck was so bad that until the end, not a single person with a spirit root was found.

Duan Yu, seeing Mu Linsen's terrible expression, walked over and said, "Junior Brother Mu Linsen, would you like some advice?"

"Please, Senior Brother Duan Yu, I would be grateful for your guidance!" Mu Linsen said weakly.

Not completing the task this time, he knew he would have a hard time when he returned to the sect.

Duan Yu said, "Tuoba Ye, although he has a balanced defective spirit root, is born with divine strength. If he is well-cultivated, even if he doesn't become a Golden Core Realm expert, becoming a peak Qi Condensation Realm expert is not a problem. With the foundation of your Pill Cauldron Sect, it might even be possible to cultivate a Golden Core Realm body cultivator."

"That's true! It's better than returning empty-handed!" Mu Linsen laughed loudly. "Senior Brother Duan Yu, thank you for your advice."

Mu Linsen inquired about Tuoba Ye's residence and ran happily to the Treasure Gathering Tower. Although Tuoba Ye had a defective spirit root, he was a world-class genius with divine strength, and bringing him back would at least allow him to complete his mission.

None of the twelve sects from the Warring States period specialized in body cultivation. If there were any, they would have definitely favored Tuoba Ye.

Mu Linsen did not want to return empty-handed and ultimately decided to have Tuoba Ye join the Pill Cauldron Sect.

Seeing Mu Linsen quickly leave, the other sects' powerful figures were somewhat gleeful.

For several days, the high-ranking members of the three major families had been present, hoping to meet the powerful figures of the cultivation sects, but unfortunately, those powerful figures completely ignored them.

When they saw the Pill Cauldron Sect actually planning to recruit Tuoba Ye, they were extremely frustrated.

"This Tuoba Ye is really lucky. He can join a cultivation sect like this," Qian Duoduo sighed.

Yuwen Lingfeng said coldly, "Tuoba Ye is just a defective spirit root, not worth mentioning. We should focus on Zhan Meng and find a way to eliminate him so he doesn't grow up."

"That's right. We must plot this in secret. No matter the cost, we must suppress the Tuoba family," Du Yusheng said solemnly.

...

The three major families were completely dominated by the Tuoba family, and they had to resist.

At the Treasure Gathering Tower!

Tuoba Ye was very calm, continuously cultivating and studying the Dao of divine symbols.

Xia Yuxuan was still a bit worried, "Brother Jie, do you think Xiao Ye is very disappointed? I heard the Immortal Edges Fair is ending today, and even Zhan Meng, Tuoba Ji, Xia Mei, and Xia Ju have left."

"Don't worry. Xiao Ye is not an ordinary person. He already has a cultivation method. Even if he can't join a cultivation sect, it won't have a significant impact on him. Besides, Xiao Ye has a mysterious master who can also teach him cultivation methods," Tuoba Jie said with a smile.

Tuoba Ye could not reveal the truth; his reincarnation must be kept absolutely secret.

Thus, his non-existent master became a shield.

At this moment, a loud voice echoed inside the Treasure Gathering Tower, "Is Tuoba Ye here?"

The person who arrived was, of course, Mu Linsen. To have Tuoba Ye join the Pill Cauldron Sect, he was quite polite.

Many members of the Tuoba family had gone to the royal arena on the first day and had a deep impression of the powerful figures from the twelve major sects.

Someone recognized Mu Linsen, "The Immortal Master is here! The Immortal Master is here!..."

Hearing the voice, Tuoba Jie immediately ran out, "Yuxuan, call Xiao Ye out."

With the appearance of a powerful figure from a cultivation sect, Tuoba Xiong could not show himself. As the head of the family, Tuoba Jie naturally had to come out to receive the guest and did not dare to be impolite to the Immortal Master.

"Immortal Master, hello! What brings you to see my son, Tuoba Ye?" Tuoba Jie asked cautiously, recognizing the person as indeed an Immortal Master.

Mu Linsen said calmly, "Oh! You are Tuoba Ye's father. I came this time to ask Tuoba Ye if he is willing to join the Pill Cauldron Sect."

"The Pill Cauldron Sect is planning to take my son as a disciple!" Tuoba Jie was incredibly surprised.

He was very clear that a defective spirit root was almost hopeless for cultivation. Previously, no sect had chosen Tuoba Ye, not even a small sect would take a person with a defective spirit root.

Although the Pill Cauldron Sect was not very strong, it was still a medium-sized sect and the only one on the Divine Martial Continent skilled in alchemy, making it quite influential in the cultivation world.

At this moment, Tuoba Ye walked out and recognized Mu Linsen.

"My son, Tuoba Ye, is here," Tuoba Jie said.

Tuoba Ye stepped forward and politely asked, "Immortal Master, what do you need from me?"

Not joining a cultivation sect, he was somewhat disappointed. He thought that with his divine strength, he could at least join a sect specializing in body cultivation. However, his luck was not good, and none of the sects that came were skilled in body cultivation.

Thus, Tuoba Ye was not chosen by any cultivation sect and had to return home to explore on his own.

"Tuoba Ye, are you willing to join the Pill Cauldron Sect?" Mu Linsen asked formally.

When sects recruit disciples, they always ask the person's willingness, but it was just a formality. Few people in the secular world would not want to join a cultivation sect.

"Is it the Pill Cauldron Sect? You are a medium-sized sect. Why do you want a disciple with a balanced defective spirit root?" Tuoba Ye did not immediately agree and asked doubtfully.

"To be honest, I didn't recruit any suitable disciples this time. I can't return empty-handed. I heard you have divine strength. If you join the Pill Cauldron Sect, with the elixirs we provide, it should not be difficult for you to succeed in body cultivation," Mu Linsen did not hide anything.

Tuoba Ye smiled, "Senior Brother, you are straightforward. I won't beat around the bush. I am willing to join the Pill Cauldron Sect."

He was not very interested in elixirs and did not want to rely on them to improve his cultivation. The Tianxuan Pill he previously obtained, he had given to Tuoba Jie.

Joining a cultivation sect had one significant advantage: systematic learning, which would definitely save him from taking detours in cultivation.

In both his past and present lives, Tuoba Ye had no master and had to explore on his own.

Exploring on his own inevitably led to taking detours. He did not want to waste time, as although cultivators lived much longer than ordinary people, they still had a limited lifespan.

Whether to extend his lifespan or to improve his strength, he needed to make every second count. Joining the Pill Cauldron Sect would definitely save Tuoba Jie a lot of time.

"Very good. The Immortal Edges Fair has ended. Say goodbye to your family and then leave with me," Mu Linsen said.

"Immortal Master, why don't you stay at our Treasure Gathering Tower for one more day to let our family reunite?" Tuoba Jie asked cautiously.

Mu Linsen thought about it and agreed, "Alright, they are all leaving today, and I will leave tomorrow. I won't disturb you. I will come to pick up Junior Brother Tuoba Ye at noon tomorrow."

Tuoba Ye was a world-class genius with divine strength. If he succeeded in body cultivation, he would definitely become a war god.

Therefore, Mu Linsen's attempt to befriend Tuoba Ye was understandable.

Besides, he was not doing anything significant, just delaying for a day.

"Senior Brother, thank you!" Tuoba Ye said hurriedly.

"Junior Brother Tuoba Ye, no need to be polite! I will leave first!" Mu Linsen disappeared in a few flashes.

"Xiao Ye, that's great! You finally joined a cultivation sect, and it's even a medium-sized one," Tuoba Jie jumped with excitement.

At this moment, Tuoba Jie seemed more like a child.

Tuoba Ye also smiled, "Being able to join a cultivation sect is not bad."

"Xiao Ye, you must learn the art of alchemy. When our family has elixirs, we can cultivate a batch of Qi Condensation Realm experts, or even higher realms," Tuoba Jie thought far ahead.

Tuoba Ye had not considered these things before, as the Dao of divine symbols alone had taken up most of his energy.

Hearing Tuoba Jie's words, he felt it was necessary to learn the Dao of alchemy.

He had also heard that the Dao of divine symbols, the Dao of alchemy, and the Dao of forging had commonalities, and learning the Dao of alchemy might help his cultivation of the Dao of divine symbols.

"Father, I will seize the opportunity to study hard and provide elixirs for the Tuoba family," Tuoba Ye promised.

Tuoba Xiong and Xia Yuxuan also came out, and the whole family was overjoyed.

"Arrange it immediately. The Treasure Gathering Tower will celebrate grandly to see Xiao Ye off," Tuoba Xiong was delighted.

"Father, I will handle it personally. Xiao Ye joining a cultivation sect means the other major families won't be able to mock us," Tuoba Jie was in a very good mood.

Tuoba Xiong did not pay attention to Tuoba Jie and said to Tuoba Ye, "Xiao Ye, after joining the cultivation sect, you must find an opportunity to make our Tuoba family a cultivation family."

"Grandfather, rest assured. I will arrange this. You must focus on cultivation and improve your strength. Only with strong cultivation can you stand firm in the cultivation world," Tuoba Ye said.

Thinking about it, Tuoba Ye decided to leave a few spirit stones from the Qiankun Ring to help Tuoba Xiong and Tuoba Jie improve their cultivation.

As for the materials in the Qiankun Ring, he would take them with him and see if he could exchange them for elixirs or spirit weapons to give to Tuoba Xiong and the others.

"Grandfather, let's talk inside."

Spirit stones were too precious, and Tuoba Ye did not want outsiders to know that the Tuoba family had spirit stones.

Entering the backyard training ground, Tuoba Xiong asked, "Xiao Ye, do you have something to tell me?"

"Grandfather, I have a few spirit stones here. When you and Father face bottlenecks, you can use the power of the spirit stones," Tuoba Ye took out the spirit stones.

" Spirit stones!" Tuoba Xiong was shocked. "This is a good thing! Xiao Ye, you should keep them for yourself. The stronger your cultivation, the more benefits it will bring to our Tuoba family."

Tuoba Ye smiled, "Grandfather, don't worry. After joining the cultivation sect, will I not have spirit stones to cultivate?"

"That's true. I will take them then," Tuoba Xiong said happily.

Seeing Tuoba Xiong accept the spirit stones, Tuoba Ye was also very happy, "Grandfather, if you encounter difficult problems in the future, let Ying Huafei handle them. She is good at this."

Tuoba Xiong knew some about Ying Huafei and nodded, "Xiao Ye, don't worry. I am more experienced in these matters."

Seeing Tuoba Xiong say this, Tuoba Ye did not say more.

(I am very sorry for not updating this morning as I had some matters to attend to.)
