Chapter 30

Luo Li heard that the Silver State Continent was also included, and couldn't help but be stunned, saying:

"Silver State Continent? I'm from the Silver State Continent!"

Elder Brother Seven continued:

"The Silver State Continent is the worst of our sect's seven blessed lands. It can only produce Blood Essence Stones and refining materials, which aren't worth much, and it's shared by the five major factions of the Heavenly Spider Alliance.

If it weren't a dimensional continent with a grand appearance that can enhance the potential of the sect, the five major factions might have abandoned it long ago."

Luo Li cautiously asked, "So Blood Essence Stones aren't valuable? But in our place, we produce top-grade Blood Crystal Stones, which seem to be treasures!"

Elder Brother Seven smiled and said, "Blood Crystal Stones are still useful, selling for eighty to ninety spirit stones each, and they move quickly. Top-grade Blood Crystal Stones, however, are virtually worthless, being a type of heaven and earth spirit material that has a price but no market. They are very expensive, costing ten thousand spirit stones, but they have little use, and very few cultivators can actually use them. Buyers are rarer than sellers, so even if you have them, you can't sell them, making them not very valuable."

Hearing this, Luo Li's heart skipped a beat. He never imagined that the top-grade Blood Crystal Stones he relied on were actually like a chicken rib—having a price but no market. However, Luo Li's expression didn't change, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Is that so? By the way, Senior Brother, what are the values of the other six blessed lands?"

Old Sha replied:

"The Spirit Butterfly Sect has seven blessed lands. The Heaven-Change Cave is a feng shui treasure land, exclusively for the sect's elites. It's said that cultivating there can cause spirit butterflies to mutate, but it's a forbidden area, so I won't go into detail.

The Colorful Butterfly Valley is a feng shui treasure land and the most important place in our sect. It spans three hundred miles and has a unique primordial energy. It's a sea of flowers where we raise a thousand kinds of spirit butterflies, all of which are spirit beasts. The seven spirit butterflies we refine all come from there.

The materials for raising spirit beasts in the Beast Taming Hall are also collected from there, which is the foundation of our Spirit Butterfly Sect.

The Flower Butterfly Plain is a feng shui treasure land where seven special spirit butterflies can be cultivated. The materials refined from these spirit butterflies are the main materials for making our sect's Spirit Butterfly Robes.

The Spirit Butterfly Robes are a specialty of our Spirit Butterfly Sect and are loved by countless cultivators. Most of the spirit stones our sect consumes are earned by selling Spirit Butterfly Robes.

The Seven Stars Tea Garden is a feng shui treasure land that produces a type of spirit tea, another specialty of our sect, which can earn spirit stones.

The Hidden Dragon Forest is a cursed land where seventeen kinds of demons and monsters have spawned, but they are firmly locked by our predecessors. Disciples who reach the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation and achieve human-butterfly unity can go there to cultivate and fight, gradually growing stronger.

The phrase 'passing through a thousand flowers without a single leaf sticking to the body' comes from here. The characteristics of our sect's disciples—spiritual, agile, quick, and ruthless—are all trained here!

The last treasure land is the Purple Sun Cliff, a feng shui treasure land. This is also the origin of the Purple Sun Mountain under our feet. At the peak of the main mountain, there is a magical cliff. When the sun rises, the cliff can absorb the power of the Purple Sun, gathering spiritual energy. Sitting there is equivalent to refining a high-grade spirit stone."

Luo Li said in surprise, "So good? Can we go there later?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Elder Brother Seven said:

"Stop dreaming. That's where the inner sect disciples cultivate, and they must be elite disciples. Even the edges of the Purple Sun Cliff are reserved for seniority.

We can only go there if we enter the inner sect and become elite disciples."

Seeing that they had drunk enough, Luo Li said:

"I want to travel the world. By the way, this is the Liaodong region. I've heard of Guanxi and Chunan regions. How can we get to the Chunan region?"

Old Sha, who was well-informed, replied: "There are two ways. One is to wait until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, control a magical tool, and fly there yourself, exploring everywhere.

The other is to spend money and go to the Heavenly Spider Sect's market. There are inter-regional flying boats there from time to time. You can take a flying boat to go wherever you want."

Luo Li's heart skipped a beat, and he was overjoyed. He continued to ask:

"Ah, inter-regional flying boats, are there any restrictions? By the way, how do I get to Chunan's Changzhou?"

Old Sha replied: "As long as you have spirit stones, you can take the inter-regional flying boat, but going to Chunan's Changzhou is not close! Let me check, I have the schedule for the inter-regional flying boats!"

He then took out a jade slip and carefully read it, then said:

"Every July 7th, the Heavenly Spider Sect's market, the Heavenly Way Sect's inter-regional flying boat will arrive once, staying for three hours, then flying to Chunan's Changzhou.

However, it's not a direct route. It needs to stop at three other major sects, taking a month to reach. The fare is three thousand spirit stones! That's economy class, and you need to bring your own food!"

Luo Li remembered this clearly: every July 7th, the Heavenly Spider Sect's market, the Heavenly Way Sect's inter-regional flying boat, and the fare of three thousand spirit stones!

Then he changed the subject and said:

"Brother Sha, where did you get this jade slip?"

Old Sha replied: "It's given for free at the Heavenly Spider Sect's market, but it's not for me. It's given to the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators, who then passed it to Senior Brother Yongchuan, who rewarded me with it!"

At this point, he paused and whispered:

"The Foundation Establishment cultivator is a disciple of the Konyuan Peak. He fell three years ago. He was Senior Brother Yongchuan's great-uncle. After his fall, Senior Brother Yongchuan lost his support and ended up as a steward in the Detachment Hall.

So Senior Brother Yongchuan probably won't have a good impression of you. You need to be careful; he doesn't have a good impression of you."

Luo Li immediately understood why Senior Brother Yongchuan didn't have a good face towards him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and sigh:

"Ancestor, Ancestor, just because of you, I've offended countless people as soon as I joined the sect. Sigh."

At this moment, a bell rang outside, and the dancing mortals immediately stopped and left. The guests at the surrounding tables all began to meditate, sitting still.

Old Sha said, "Alright, it's about time. Let's cultivate!"

Elder Brother Seven also said, "It's the middle of the night, the hour of Zi has arrived, and we can cultivate! Junior Brother Luo Li, don't think that the spiritual energy from the roasted meat you ate is yours. That's all an illusion; it will dissipate automatically. It's like a tree without roots, and it needs to be refined!

Moreover, because of the different spiritual roots and potential, the amount of true qi each person can retain is different. If you return to your room now, you'll waste a lot of spiritual energy, so let's cultivate here quickly."

After saying this, everyone began to meditate and refine the spiritual energy from the roasted meat they had eaten.

Luo Li followed suit, starting to meditate and refine the true qi.

During this dinner, he ate twenty-two skewers and a cup of spirit wine, obtaining a total of 427 units of spiritual energy, and began to refine it.

In less than five breaths, Luo Li entered a state of cultivation, starting to refine the spiritual energy in his qi sea.

At first, the refinement was quick, and the spiritual energy gradually became his. However, in the later stages, some of the spiritual energy began to dissipate. In the end, Luo Li only retained 257 units of true qi, plus the previous 3 units, totaling 260 units of true qi, occupying one-fiftieth of his qi sea.

Luo Li opened his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling very pained by the loss of 170 units of true qi.

At this moment, he noticed that the others had all finished refining. They asked each other:

"Brother Sha, how much true qi did you lose?"

"I lost 40%, which is the passing line for three spiritual roots! What about you, Xuan Shui?"

"Alas, I lost 60%, which is a disadvantage for four spiritual roots! What about you, Elder Brother Seven?"

"I also lost 20%, and you, Gaopeng, seem to have two spiritual roots, right?"

"I, I lost 20%, and last night I obtained 340 units of true qi!"

"Damn, that's a lot! With two spiritual roots, it's so easy. I bet you'll be absorbed into the inner sect as soon as you reach the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation!"

At this moment, Luo Li realized the importance of spiritual roots. Those with four spiritual roots lost 60% of their true qi, those with three spiritual roots lost 40%, and those with two spiritual roots lost 20%. No wonder the fewer the spiritual roots, the stronger the cultivator.

After everyone finished cultivating, Luo Li paid the bill and left. Three spirit stones were not much. At the First Level of Qi Condensation, one spirit stone was enough for a month of cultivation, and the qi sea's capacity was limited. Even if you had more spirit stones, you couldn't absorb them, which is why the sect's benefits were distributed this way.

Everyone continued to ride the camel beasts back to the sect. There was no work today, so they would return and cultivate.

However, they didn't take the original route but took a detour and walked from another place.

They came to a mountain forest, and everyone stopped. Old Sha pointed to a distant, huge mountain peak and said:

"Look there!"

On a high mountain cliff, there were strange purple rocks, about thirty zhang in size, and it was filled with cultivators.

These cultivators were all wearing colorful magical robes. There were Foundation Establishment cultivators with true qi surging, and Qi Condensation disciples with noble and imposing appearances, all inner sect elite disciples, who were hundreds of times stronger than Luo Li and the others.

Among them was Fairy Su, who occupied a rock by herself, with no one within three feet around her, unlike the others who were crowded together. It seemed she was also an outstanding disciple in the sect!

At this moment, the sun rose, and the endless sunlight seemed to be absorbed there, shining brightly. The cultivators began to absorb the Purple Sun's power!

Elder Brother Seven gritted his teeth and said:

"That's the Purple Sun Cliff! Cultivating true qi at the Purple Sun Cliff! A man should live a life of cultivation and strive to be the best!"

The others also nodded, and Gaopeng softly said:

"Cultivating true qi at the Purple Sun Cliff! A man should live a life of cultivation and strive to be the best!"

So Old Sha and the others had deliberately taken a detour to see this place. Their words were filled with envy, determination, and encouragement. Even though they were now the weakest and most basic cultivators, they still had dreams and life goals!

Living means having ideals; that's what life is all about! Otherwise, it's just a walking corpse!

Luo Li couldn't help but say, "A man should live a life of cultivation and strive to be the best, to show himself!"

But his dream was not to cultivate true qi at the Purple Sun Cliff. It was much greater and not something the small Spirit Butterfly Sect could contain!
