Chapter 332: New Opportunities

When Xiao Shou remember this, he immediately took the storage ring back from Fu Young’s hand.

He then transferred half of the high grade demonic beast cores and half of the Spirit Sand into it before returning the ring. "Now I can finally feel completely at ease."

"I always seem to be receiving gifts from you, Master." Fu Young smiled softly. "From now on, I’ll prepare lots and lots of gifts that you’ll like too."

Fu Young silently made that promise to himself.

After the master and disciple parted ways, Xiao Shou began resting to recover the energy consumed by his Absolute Fusion ability.

Once he had created an unintelligent Tier 6 Flower of Eternity for Yao Heng to absorb, he entered Yao Heng’s internal space and began cultivating within its even greater time acceleration.

He secretly resolved not to leave seclusion until he possessed the cultivation expected of a proper Sect Master.

Meanwhile, after returning to his own cave dwelling, Fu Young immediately began refining the storage ring.

Unlike ordinary storage treasures, a low grade storage ring required three separate steps before it could truly recognize its owner.

First, it had to acknowledge its master through a drop of blood.

Then it had to be bound with divine sense.

Finally, it had to be completely refined using spiritual energy.

Only after all three steps were completed would the ring become bound to its owner’s soul.

Once that happened, as long as the owner’s soul remained intact, no one else could ever open the ring.

Because of that remarkable feature, refining a storage ring was far more troublesome than refining ordinary storage treasures.

It was not until nightfall that Fu Young finally completed the process.

When he opened the storage ring with his divine sense, he found it packed to the brim.

Several spiritual treasures.

The two exquisite Time Pavilions, one with three floors and the other with five.

Top grade spirit stones.

Spirit jade of every grade.

Every corner of the ring glittered brilliantly.

His heart warmed.

He then opened the jade box beside him.

The instant the lid lifted, the crystal flower with the pale green center transformed into a tiny green haired figure.

"Master~~~!"

...

Two days later.

On Eternal Sky Peak, Su Rourou, whose limbs had already been restored by a low grade Creation Pill and who had spent nearly a year cultivating within the Eternal Prosperity Sect, came running into Chen Yufei’s bedroom while holding a jade slip.

"Yufei, come take a look at this!"

"What is it, Rourou?"

Chen Yufei had successfully cultivated to the second level of Qi Refining using the simplified Five Spiritual Root cultivation technique that Fu Young had modified for her.

After she finished circulating her spiritual energy, stood them up and walked over curiously.

Su Rourou smiled excitedly and said, "Senior An Yu just released this announcement. It says that the sect’s internal competition will be held seven days from now. There will be matches for every cultivation realm from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul. The top ten winners will be allowed to cultivate inside a Time Pavilion where time flows much faster than outside. Apparently, the higher your ranking, the longer you’ll be allowed to cultivate inside."

"There’s really such a thing as a Time Pavilion?" Chen Yufei exclaimed in surprise. "I always thought that was something novel authors made up. Then I definitely have to participate. I’ll do everything I can to earn a high ranking. My Five Spiritual Roots need cultivation time more than anything."

Su Rourou nodded enthusiastically. "I’m participating too. My aptitude isn’t very good either. Having more time to cultivate can only benefit me."

In the room next door, where Ye Ying and the other children were staying, several youngsters were also excitedly passing the jade slip around and reading the announcement one after another.

...

Eternal Array Peak.

Hu Yitian, the eldest disciple of Cao Xue, had originally been an independent cultivator who enjoyed complete freedom.

Being unexpectedly brought into a sect he had never even heard of had left him extremely unwilling.

Unfortunately, since his master had already agreed to join, disciples like him had no right to object.

He had resigned himself to a future where he would receive only a pitiful monthly allowance while enduring ridicule from the disciples of second and third rate sects. Yet the moment he followed his master into the sect, he was completely stunned.

Before them stretched a vast mountain range.

Even the spiritual energy surrounding its outer regions was many times denser than that of his grandmaster’s cave dwelling.

The deeper they entered, the more unbelievable everything became.

Not to mention the enormous river flowing through the sky like a heavenly stream, the spiritual energy itself was so dense that it was nearly liquefied.

At that very moment, Hu Yitian had nearly broken through simply from breathing.

Back then, he had thought to himself that if he could cultivate in a place like this, he would gladly pay spirit stones every month instead of receiving an allowance.

Who would have imagined... Now, nearly a year had passed.

He, his master, and his martial uncle all lived together with their master on one of the inner peaks.

The concentration of spiritual energy there surpassed anything he had ever experienced.

The disciples of the Eternal Prosperity Sect spent most of their days cultivating, occasionally accepting simple construction tasks to help develop the sect.

The work was incredibly easy.

Despite that, every month they still received allowances comparable to those given to inner disciples of first rate sects.

Hu Yitian was very satisfied with both his life and his cultivation environment.

There was only one thing he could not quite get used to.

The sect was far too quiet.

Far too peaceful.

Far too boring.

Couldn’t something interesting happen for once?

Even listening to a few pieces of pointless gossip would be better than this silence.

Just as he was lamenting how dull life had become, he unexpectedly heard some exciting news while attending a lecture given by his Second Martial Uncle on Eternal Amulet Peak.
