Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2711: Chapter 2712: Temporary Seclusion

Although Xiao Wu didn’t think much of these miners at first, he was completely shocked by Ye Luo’s methods. In the blink of an eye, someone who knew nothing about Cultivation had his realm raised to the Qi Cyclone Realm—so in front of that, what do talent and aptitude even count for!

He was truly convinced; in his eyes now, Ye Luo was simply an Immortal!

This was only because Xiao Wu had yet to reach the Martial King Realm; if he ever stepped into that realm, he would naturally come to understand all of this.

When Ye Luo brought those miners back, Ling’er and Qiong Yao were waiting at the mountain gate. Seeing so many people returning, the two of them were naturally extremely astonished.

When they checked the cultivation of these miners, their expressions became exceedingly strange.

Such a bizarre act—bringing ordinary mortals into the Sect—was probably something only Ye Luo could pull off.

For such common folk, if their aptitude was poor, then even if their realm was forcibly raised, their future path of Cultivation would still be incomparably difficult!

Take that miner Ye Luo had forcibly raised to the Qi Cyclone Realm earlier for example—his own cultivation aptitude was ordinary, and in the future he would most likely stop at the Qi Cyclone Realm. If he didn’t work hard, there was a very real chance his realm would fall.

However, the benefit of doing this was that his lifespan had increased for no reason by quite a bit. Besides, without Ye Luo, how could he possibly have stepped onto the path of cultivation at all?

So even if he learned of the consequences, he would not have any complaints.

”Let me introduce you: these are the two Grand Elders of the Sect!” Ye Luo said with a smile, giving them a brief introduction.

These young men had all been of low status before; they had rarely even seen women, let alone Fairies like Ling’er and Qiong Yao. At once, quite a few of the young men’s gazes went completely blank.

This immediately made the two women blush bright red.

Of course, Ye Luo understood that this wasn’t intentional on their part; it was just instinct. They had no thoughts of profaning anyone.

Ye Luo’s Divine Soul was powerful; their thoughts could not escape his surveillance. The moment anyone developed any crooked thoughts, he would immediately kill without mercy!

Next, Xiao Wu went off to arrange quarters for these miners—though they should now be called Disciples. In this way, Mount Wudang finally had a bit of human presence. When these miners saw those rows upon rows of palaces, their mouths simply would not close.

In their entire lives, they had never imagined they would live in a place like this. To them, this was already like a scene from a dream.

”Ye Luo, what are you doing? What use are these people? You’re just wasting resources for nothing!” After those people left, Ling’er said disdainfully.

Ye Luo only smiled mysteriously. ”There are countless paths on the Great Dao; there will always be one that suits them. It’s just that they themselves can’t find it. I’ll arrange this as I see fit—just wait and see.”

Ling’er curled her lips and ignored him.

”Young Miss, how’s the task I gave you coming along?” Ye Luo suddenly asked with a grin.

”Hmph, all you do is boss me around all day. When have I ever messed up doing something? It’s long since done!” Ling’er said unhappily.

This actually made Qiong Yao let out a charming laugh. That one laugh really did set flowers swaying; ever since she had been intimate with Ye Luo, the charm on her had increased by quite a bit, and Ye Luo couldn’t help stealing a few more glances at her.

”There are a few hidden ore deposits nearby, not far from the surface. They’re just concealed rather cleverly, so no one ever noticed them—but of course they couldn’t escape my eyes!” Ling’er said.

”Excellent. After all, resources are the very foundation of establishing our Sect. In that case, tell Xiao Wu the locations and have those Disciples go mine them in batches!” Ye Luo said quickly.

Ling’er nodded silently, then lifted her head again. ”Ye Luo, I really don’t get it. Why are you going to such lengths over these Disciples? Even if just the few of us retired into seclusion, couldn’t we still cultivate just fine?”

Ye Luo chuckled lightly. The mission that the Great Crown Prince had entrusted to him was something he naturally could not tell Ling’er, and besides, she was still just a little girl; even if he told her, she might not understand.

”You’ll understand this in the future.”

”Hmph, ’in the future’ again. So annoying!”

After that, Ye Luo gathered these hundred-plus miners again and divided these Disciples into several groups according to the strength of their talent.

Based on their different cultivation Attributes, he gave them corresponding cultivation Techniques. There was also a portion who were Body Cultivators, and Ye Luo passed on to them the cultivation method for the Great Saint Physique.

Of course, Ye Luo didn’t intend to keep all of these hundred-plus people. After all, if they truly could not embark on the path of cultivation, then Ye Luo would not keep them around to freeload. His resources did not come from nowhere.

On this point, Ye Luo treated it as the entry rules of a neutral Sect and told them in advance. Only then could these miners have a bit more motivation.

After all, if they were driven down the mountain, then if it wasn’t a dead end, they would at least be dragged off to be miners again. Having tasted Heaven, they feared Hell all the more—that was the state of mind of these Disciples in this matter.

After staying on Mount Wudang for a few days, they no longer wished to go down the mountain at all. So when they heard Ye Luo’s rule, their eyes all turned bloodshot, clearly ready to risk their lives.

Ye Luo, however, said nothing more. He turned and went back to the main hall; this counted as a test for their entry into the Sect.

He also intended to use the opportunity to go into seclusion. Now that he had no trivial matters entangling him, he needed to organize his own cultivation a bit.

After all, if he wanted to ensure his survival, he had to raise his realm to the Martial King Realm!

But in these last few days, another problem had arisen: that Golden Body Strength had begun to stir restlessly. However, the conflict between the Demon Body and the Golden Body was no longer as intense.

Ye Luo had been constantly trying to refine these two forces. When all was said and done, they were just two strands of external Divine Sense power, merely with completely different Attributes.

If Ye Luo’s Divine Sense were strong enough, he could immediately suppress and refine both of these powers.

However, to reach that point, his Divine Sense was still far from sufficient.

This time, the reason he was going into seclusion was because he had thought of one item—the Demonic Lotus!

Back then, the Saint had given him that box, but because of the situation with Qiong Yao, he had never opened it. Now he finally wanted to see what use this Demonic Lotus actually had!

He then took that box out. The box was simple and unremarkable, not even worthy of being called a Magic Artifact. If it had any effect, it was that it could preserve the original nature of an item to the greatest extent. Put plainly, it was insurance!

Placed in this box, the Spiritual Energy of the Demonic Lotus dissipated extremely slowly.

As soon as Ye Luo opened it, a surge of dense Spiritual Power surged out of the box. The moment he smelled it, he felt his mind clear and his spirit refreshed.

What he couldn’t understand most was that neither the Demonic Lotus nor the Demonic Lotus Clan had anything to do with the word ”demon” at all.
