Among them, the book “Detailed Explanation of Basic Spells” does not record how to master spells but explains the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of some common basic spells. It can only be considered as knowledge expansion.
After all, with the thin spirit power of the prospective miscellaneous disciples, it is impossible to master spells. Some basic spells require becoming an official miscellaneous disciple to be taught.
“Top Xuan Body Forging Technique” records some boxing techniques, palm techniques, and body techniques collected by the Top Xuan Sect. Practicing these can strengthen the body and increase reaction capabilities, which is crucial in combat.
“Top Xuan Swordsmanship” is a sword technique created by the Top Xuan Ancestor, divided into three realms. The first realm, Human Xuan, is distributed, while the second is Spirit Xuan, and the third is Heaven Xuan.
According to the senior brother who arranged the dormitory, in the Top Xuan Sect, one does not need to be proficient in boxing techniques, palm techniques, body techniques, sword techniques, or spells, but must master some of each to avoid significant weaknesses in battle.
Alaric Ye was like a completely dehydrated sponge, fully immersed in these Immortal Family books once he picked them up. Even when his stomach growled with hunger, he didn’t want to put the books down.
Unconsciously, it was already noon. Alaric Ye was engrossed in reading when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“Alaric, are you home? Let’s go for a feast!”
Only then did Alaric Ye realize he had forgotten about the lunch meeting due to his engrossment in reading.
He put down the book and stood up, feeling dizzy and light-headed. He touched his stomach, which seemed to have sunken in from hunger.
“It’s good to have Little Strong around, but with so many cultivators here, letting Little Strong out to steal food would probably get him killed.”
Alaric Ye circulated a trace of spirit power from his dantian through his meridians to his brain, instantly feeling much clearer and more energetic. He then took big strides to open the door.
At the door stood Elijah Wang, the son of a wealthy merchant, and Zachary Song, a prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty. Both were now dressed in the Top Xuan Sect robes.
Even the round-faced, small-eyed Elijah Wang looked more ethereal and refined in the robe, his temperament greatly enhanced.
As for the originally stern Zachary Song, he had completely transformed into a fairy-slayer, his aura like a banished immortal, making people dare not look directly at him.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Zachary Song was even stronger than Alaric Ye.
Alaric Ye apologized, “Sorry, I got lost in reading.”
Elijah Wang said, “No worries, we were also cramming the sect rules earlier to avoid unknowingly breaking them… So many rules are quite troublesome.”
Zachary Song said, “I had already memorized the sect rules while still in the mortal world. As long as you follow me, you won’t easily make mistakes. In fact, the rules won’t affect daily life.”
Alaric Ye locked his door, and the three quickly went downstairs.
It was mealtime, and the stone-built stairwell was bustling with prospective miscellaneous disciples in Top Xuan Sect robes, with only a few walking alone.
Outside the dormitory, not far away, was the training ground Alaric Ye had seen through the window. Despite the scorching sun and mealtime, many senior brothers and sisters were still practicing tirelessly.
This slightly shocked Alaric Ye.
He always thought he was working hard, never forgetting to maintain his breathing rhythm every moment. But now he realized many people were working even harder than him.
Zachary Song said indifferently, “Cultivation is a race against lifespan. In this cultivation world, many people work hard, but many have poor aptitude and comprehension, making it hard to achieve significant progress despite their efforts.”
Elijah Wang chuckled, “My father once said that proper rest and enjoying life’s pleasures might help seize the opportunity for a breakthrough. Cultivation is like doing business; you can’t be too stubborn.”
He then winked and said, “Alaric, you’re probably still a virgin, right? In a while, I’ll introduce you to some beautiful fairy sisters… I guarantee they’ll be stunning.”
Alaric Ye coughed twice.
“Still young, let’s talk about it later…”
Elijah Wang took out two maps of the Top Xuan Sect, giving one to Alaric Ye. He quickly pinpointed their destination—Juyuan Pavilion.
After walking through a shaded path for a while, the three arrived at the Juyuan Pavilion restaurant. The entrance was adorned with numerous statues of ingredients, giving it a grand appearance. Inside, it was elegant and refined, with male and female disciples in Top Xuan Sect robes serving as waiters.
To Alaric Ye’s surprise, the restaurant manager had already brought several slender, beautiful maids to wait at the door. When Elijah Wang walked in, the middle-aged manager and the maids bowed respectfully.
“Young Master, you’re finally here. The private room is ready.”
Elijah Wang waved, “No need for formalities. Today, I’m treating two esteemed guests. Bring out all the signature dishes… No Immortal Brew, though. We’ve just joined the sect, and there are many affairs to handle. Drinking would be a hindrance.”
“As you command!”
This Juyuan Pavilion restaurant was actually one of Elijah Wang’s family businesses. They had extended their business into the Top Xuan Sect, which greatly surprised Alaric Ye, while Zachary Song remained calm, seemingly already aware.
Led by the manager, the three entered a luxurious private room, with beautiful maids standing by for orders.
Elijah Wang proudly said, “From now on, when dining at the restaurant, just mention my name, Elijah Wang, and you’ll get a 50% discount!”
Alaric Ye thought, even with a 90% discount, he probably couldn’t afford it.
Elijah Wang comfortably lay on a rocking chair in the private room, with gentle maids immediately stepping forward to massage his legs.
Alaric Ye could clearly feel that these maids also had spirit power within them. They were all cultivators with spiritual roots, who would be revered as Upper Immortals in the mortal world, but here, they still wore flattering smiles, eager to please Elijah Wang.
With a glance from Elijah Wang, several charming maids also smiled and approached Alaric Ye and Zachary Song, ready to massage their shoulders, but were scared off by Zachary Song’s cold gaze.
“No need.”
“Thank you, no need…”
The first sentence was from Zachary Song, and the second was from Alaric Ye, who was still not used to this dream-like way of enjoying life.
Elijah Wang chuckled, “One should enjoy when it’s time to enjoy. The sect rules don’t prohibit disciples from enjoying themselves. What’s the point of mastering immortal techniques and achieving longevity if not for enjoyment? When I achieve Elemental Infant, I’ll recruit a group of stunning Golden Elixir fairies to serve me.”
Alaric Ye couldn’t find a good reason to refute Elijah Wang’s view but felt something was off.
Is achieving longevity really for enjoyment?
Alaric Ye also wanted to enjoy life, but in a more reserved way. He just wanted to have unmatched strength, marry a couple of girls he liked, and live a peaceful and happy life.
At least, his descendants would no longer be servants.
At the same time, Elijah Wang made Alaric Ye realize that having a strong background in the mortal world wasn’t worthless after joining the Top Xuan Sect. As long as the mortal world’s power was great enough, one could still wield influence in the Top Xuan Sect.
Even revered fairies had to lower themselves to serve the wealthy, which was no different from the secular world!
The cultivation world… doesn’t seem to be transcendent after all.
Soon, the fragrant dishes were brought to the table by the maids.
Alaric Ye saw roasted chickens, beef legs, steaks, and some animal livers he couldn’t name, all exceptionally large, with each dish looking and smelling delicious.
Elijah Wang introduced, “Alaric, these ingredients are either from demonic beasts or poultry raised with spirit herbs. Eating them can strengthen the body and enhance cultivation. Don’t be polite… We’re family, eat as you like!”
Elijah Wang first grabbed a whole roasted chicken and started devouring it. Seeing this, Alaric Ye also grabbed a huge beef leg and began eating heartily.
This was definitely the best and most luxurious food he had ever eaten. If not for the beef leg bone being too hard to bite, he might have chewed and swallowed it too.
Elijah Wang and Alaric Ye ate quite roughly, while Zachary Song ate elegantly but was surprisingly the fastest eater among them…
The three devoured the food quickly, leaving the table clean.
After eating, Alaric Ye felt warm in his stomach, with a trace of spirit power flowing through his meridians and condensing into spirit power in his dantian. He clearly felt his cultivation slowly increasing as the food digested!
