140 The Difference Between the Immortal Sects in the Upper Realm



A bright light flashed before returning to normal.

Fang Jinyu wasn't surprised at all by his natural breakthrough.

If Fang Jinyu hadn't wanted to understand the essence of the Core Formation stage section of the lightning spell, he might have broken through rank 5 in the Core Formation stage!

However, doing so might limit him.

Grandmaster Meng had repeatedly reminded Fang Jinyu that cultivation wasn't just about improving his inner energy. Cultivation bottlenecks were a matter, and cultivation technique bottlenecks were another. If one had improved their inner energy without fully understanding the cultivation techniques, then it would only consume the cultivation foundation of a first-grade core that one had painstakingly obtained.

Since his "Senior Brother Meng" had said so, Fang Jinyu naturally had to be steady and careful. He didn't dare be careless.

It was because once he had chosen the wrong path, there was no turning back!

"Since we already have the Cloudy Jellyfish Grass, let's give Ah Lan an authentic spirit root first."

Other than helping his good friend's daughter, Fang Jinyu also had a personal goal. After all, he had never forgotten that his senior brother had asked him to find the technique to become an Incarnation stage cultivator.

The Shenhua Sect had several Incarnation stage lord cultivators!

It indicated that the Shenhua Sect had an extremely complete technique that could lead one to become an Incarnation stage cultivator.

Fang Jinyu casually threw down another talisman to protect the shop before heading to the outer sect of the Shenhua Sect.

Unlike the Tianling Sect, the Shenhua Sect was only an outer sect, but it was extremely luxurious. There were white jade halls, waterside pavilions, glazed tiles, clean bricks, and green jade carvings everywhere. It could be said to be a paradise on earth and was elegance in wealth.

Even the imperial palace that Fang Jinyu had seen before was far inferior to the outer sect of the Shenhua Sect.

Only the Sect Leader's Hall of the Liudao Sect, which was a superior-grade spiritual hall, could compare!

However, Fang Jinyu wasn't surprised by it because he was used to simple cultivation at Mount Xiaohe. He didn't care much about the enjoyment of worldly things.

Fang Jinyu first asked someone to inform the leader of his arrival, then he waited in the reception hall of the outer sect.

It was the rule of the Shenhua Sect.

Soon, Fang Jinyu saw two young girls dressed as maids walking over with Ah Lan.

Even outer sect disciples of the Shenhua Sect would have servant girls and servants accompanying them. Of course, they had a nice name—servant disciples.

"Uncle Wuyi."

When Ah Lan saw Fang Jinyu, she was instantly overjoyed. She bounced over and threw herself into Fang Jinyu's arms. She said intimately, "Are you here to bring me back?"

Although the outer sect of the Shenhua Sect was very fun in the eyes of the little girl, it was obvious that she was bored of it.

She wanted to leave with Fang Jinyu now.

Before Fang Jinyu could speak, the two maids who brought her here quickly said, "Senior Sister Lan, you are now a disciple of the Shenhua Sect, you can't just leave like that." 

The two maids were also cultivators. However, their cultivation bases were low, and they were only ranked 2 or 3 in the Qi Condensation stage.

It was obvious that their aptitudes were very poor and they didn't have any background.

Well, the second half of the sentence was nonsense. If they had some family background, they wouldn't have become servant disciples. Although the title sounded better, in the end, it was just another hope compared to selling one's body as a slave.

The upper realm was extremely divided, and Fang Jinyu had deeply experienced it in the Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.

For ordinary immortal cultivators without any background, even if they cultivated to the Core Formation stage, 100 spirit stones were worth paying attention to. It was also the reason why Lin Zhongwu dared to offer 100 spirit stones for a high-grade sin core when Fang Jinyu first arrived in Demon-extinguishing Immortal City.

Although they had the intention of deceiving Fang Jinyu, the most valuable thing on the bodies of ordinary Core Formation stage cultivators in the upper realm was probably their cores.

It made Fang Jinyu feel a little sad.

On the other hand, people from the cultivation families, even if they were Qi Condensation stage cultivators, might not care much about 100 spirit stones.

It could be said that ordinary cultivators without any background had to put in all their effort to obtain every spirit stone, every wisp of spiritual energy, and every elixir.

Sometimes, they might even need to kill other cultivators, which was extremely difficult to come by.

Therefore, even though Fang Jinyu was a Core Formation stage cultivator, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed after realizing it.

Although the Nine Desolations also had such a split, other than the Liudao Sect, which had long since fallen apart, the other immortal sects weren't as unscrupulous as the upper realm. Perhaps it was because the stargazing flying ship allowed cultivators to move around easily or because the spiritual items in the various places were rich and had dense spiritual energy.

However, in the upper realm, ordinary cultivators with no background seemed to have a great terror that wasn't fate but more than fate!

"If that's the case, can I ask Ah Lan to go to the immortal city and know where I live?"

Fang Jinyu asked gently.

When the two maids faced Fang Jinyu's gaze, their faces immediately turned slightly red. One of them was more quick-witted. The two replied, "Of course, you can. Senior, you're Senior Sister Lan's uncle, and you've also obtained the shop allocated by the sect. The sect has recorded all this information. However, please come back tomorrow."

"Thank you so much."

The two maids hurriedly said, "I dare not! I don't deserve it!" 

Immediately, Fang Jinyu brought the obedient "Ah Lan" out of the outer sect of the Shenhua Sect. Along the way, the little girl didn't speak nonsense. It was only when they entered the shop that the little girl blinked at Fang Jinyu three times.
