Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 20: Donʼt Despise the Poor Youngsters Sign in at Lihuo Danxin Hall

At the entrance of the Utility Disciple courtyard.

Han Xuanji saw a group of Disciples gathered, pointing fingers at a young man dressed in simple grey clothes.

The young man was talking to a beautiful young woman.

As they conversed, the young man’s hands were tightly clenched, clearly restraining his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The woman, however, looked calm, as if she had already made up her mind.

After a long while.

The woman left.

The young man stood rooted to the spot, his entire body trembling.

The surrounding Disciples watching also shook their heads.

“How pitiful.”

“Yeah, if I were Lin Potian, I probably wouldn’t want to continue Cultivating.”

…..

Han Xuanji listened for a while and quickly understood everything.

The young man’s name was Lin Potian; he and his childhood sweetheart entered the Shenxuan Sect together, but later, the Aptitude they tested showed a huge disparity.

Lin Potian could only be a Utility Disciple, while his childhood sweetheart was directly promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple.

Such situations were not uncommon in the Shenxuan Sect.

For a Utility Disciple, breaking through to Foundation Establishment to become an Outer Sect Disciple was basically their limit, whereas entering directly as an Inner Sect Disciple indicated outstanding Aptitude, meaning they would at least reach the Nascent Soul Realm in the future.

Normally, the two would no longer be in the same world from that moment on.

However, Lin Potian’s deep sadness suggested he had invested a lot of emotion, and the separation now was too hurtful.

Han Xuanji had heard their entire conversation clearly.

Han Xuanji looked at Lin Potian again and found that his mentality was quite good; although his expression was sad, he didn’t get angry even when many people discussed him.

Although he wasn’t particularly handsome, he was quite pleasant to look at and gave off a mature aura.

Could it be another protagonist?

Han Xuanji focused his gaze on Lin Potian; he looked very unremarkable, and his Spiritual Root Aptitude was even worse than Han Xuanji’s used to be, probably only Yellow-grade low-tier.

It was unknown how much effort he put in to be able to enter the Shenxuan Sect with such Aptitude.

Only after activating his Cave Void Divine Eye did Han Xuanji discover that his bone Physique was quite extraordinary, something very difficult for anyone without extremely high cultivation to notice.

This special Physique required a large amount of Spiritual Qi to Awaken; in other words, if he couldn’t Awaken his Physique, it would remain an ordinary Physique, at most making his physical constitution a bit stronger.

If he hadn’t had the Cave Void Divine Eye, Han Xuanji wouldn’t have noticed this.

As expected, if Lin Potian didn’t have some Opportunity, he would never be able to Awaken his talent in his lifetime, and it was unknown if anyone in the entire Shenxuan Sect could discern his hidden talent, and even if there were, he might not necessarily encounter them.

“Why should we Cultivators be bogged down by romantic entanglements?”

Han Xuanji walked up to Lin Potian and said earnestly.

Lin Potian looked up at Han Xuanji, instantly startled by Han Xuanji’s aura, then said in a low voice:

“If I had Senior Brother’s appearance, perhaps Yan’er wouldn’t have been like this.”

Hearing this, Han Xuanji couldn’t help but feel speechless and after a long while, he said:

“Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river; do not bully a young man for being poor… If you keep sinking, no one will look up to you.”

Leaving these words, Han Xuanji didn’t say anything more and quickly departed.

He had originally thought about whether he could help him, but he didn’t expect him to be a simp.

He was just on a whim, recalling some novel tropes from his previous life.

Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river; do not bully a young man for being poor.

Lin Potian repeatedly chanted this phrase, his eyes lit up, but when he looked up, he found Han Xuanji had disappeared.

“Who is this Senior Brother?”

Lin Potian quickly asked the other Disciples.

Coincidentally, there were still some Disciples present who recognized Han Xuanji.

“So he’s an Outer Sect Senior Brother… Even such a remarkable talent is only an Outer Sect Disciple; truly an Immortal Sect.”

Lin Potian thought to himself, then his eyes became resolute.

He wanted to diligently Cultivate and make those who once looked down on him regret it!

…

Leaving the Utility Disciple courtyard.

Han Xuanji quickly put Lin Potian’s matter out of his mind:

“I need to quickly increase my cultivation; perhaps I can sign in at the core area of Danding Peak.”

It wasn’t that Han Xuanji disliked the rewards from Lingyun Palace.

Rather, he felt he couldn’t always target one place.

Although Lingyun Palace was good, many of the items he signed in for were not very useful to him.

Danding Peak had a higher chance of giving Medicinal Pill rewards, which could better assist his Cultivation.

However, this time he was no longer satisfied with signing in at the various Alchemy workshops on Danding Peak.

Instead, he planned to sign in at the Lihuo Danxin Hall on Danding Peak.

This Hall was located at the summit of Danding Peak and was a famous Holy Land of the Dao of Alchemy, having produced countless Alchemy Great Masters, Grandmasters, and even Dao of Alchemy Grandmasters.

“As expected of a world-renowned Alchemy Holy Land, whether it’s its layout or other aspects, it is truly perfect…”

Han Xuanji gazed at the Lihuo Danxin Hall, nodding slightly in his heart.

Compared to the grandiosity of Lingyun Palace, the Lihuo Danxin Hall undoubtedly possessed a more Immortal Qi aura.

A wisp of crimson glow entwined around the Hall’s ridge, nine-turn purple-gold bells hung from the eaves, and Taiji formations were carved into the steps.

Eight large characters were written on the plaque in front of the Hall— “Majestic Lihuo, Brilliant Danxin”.

“Compared to Lingyun Palace, the defenses of Danding Peak are clearly much stricter…”

Fortunately, Han Xuanji’s cultivation had greatly increased, and his perfected Myriad Images of the Universe Skill made his presence even more imperceptible.

[Congratulations to the Host for successfully signing in at Lihuo Danxin Hall, obtaining one Taiji Cauldron.]

[This location can be signed in repeatedly.]

“Taiji Cauldron?”

Han Xuanji’s expression was strange; although he knew Alchemy, he usually relied on signed-in Medicinal Pills and wouldn’t bother to refine them himself.

However, this cauldron was an eighth-tier Pill Furnace, which meant it was a Magical Artifact of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, a treasure of the level of a sect- trấn treasure.

Han Xuanji returned to his Immortal Cave and took out the Taiji Cauldron; he saw that the cauldron’s exterior was ancient and profound, with Yin and Yang fish patterns engraved on its body, and a faint Immortal Qi flowing.

Eight crimson-gold inscriptions floated on the inner wall of the cauldron’s belly; these inscriptions could harmonize the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, possessing infinite power.

Han Xuanji thought that even if he didn’t use it for Alchemy, perhaps using it to smash people would also be effective?

….

Time slowly passed.

A month went by in a flash, and Han Xuanji signed in back and forth between Lihuo Danxin Hall and Lingyun Palace.

At Lihuo Danxin Hall, Han Xuanji successively signed in for many treasures, including numerous Alchemy Legacies, such as Danding Peak’s supreme Legacy, “Taiqing Danjing”, and Spirit Refining Pills and Creation Pills for the Soul Transformation Realm.

It could only be said that these two places were too good; various precious Medicinal Pills and Spirit Medicine made him reluctant to sign in elsewhere.

With the continuous help of Medicinal Pills, Han Xuanji could feel his cultivation soaring every day, and this was still because he spent time every day consolidating his Foundation, striving to reach the Perfection of each Realm.

Even so.

Returning to Void Realm, just around the corner.

On this day.

Han Xuanji suddenly sensed an aura outside his Immortal Cave.

“Is Senior Brother Han in?”

“Hm?”

Han Xuanji looked and saw it was a Junior Brother from the Utility Disciple courtyard.

This was the first time someone had visited him in so many years.

Han Xuanji immediately opened the cave door and walked out.

“Junior Brother, is there something you need?”

“Steward Li successfully broke through to the Golden Core Realm and specifically asked me to invite Senior Brother Han to the celebration feast.”

“That truly is a great joyous occasion.”

Han Xuanji said in surprise.

Not long after, Han Xuanji also left his Immortal Cave and arrived at the Breakthrough feast.

Li Shanhai diligently Cultivated and was a good person, and his popularity was not bad; even some Outer Sect Elders attended.

Looking at the spirited Li Shanhai, Han Xuanji also felt very emotional.

Time passes so quickly.

When Li Shanhai first established his Foundation, he was still in the Qi Refining Realm; now that others had reached the Golden Core, he had already reached Soul Transformation.

Li Shanhai also noticed Han Xuanji at this moment and quickly called him over for a drink.

“Congratulations on your Breakthrough, Senior Brother Li.”

Han Xuanji immediately congratulated him.

He didn’t know if he had helped, but he sincerely congratulated Li Shanhai on his successful Breakthrough.

After all, the other party was one of his rare acquaintances.

“Haha, follow me from now on, and I’ll guarantee you’ll have no worries.”

Li Shanhai laughed.

“Haha.”

Han Xuanji smiled without speaking, taking a sip of the spiritual wine.

How could he, a mighty Soul Transformation Realm Cultivator, associate with a Golden Core Cultivator without losing Face?

Li Shanhai said while drinking:

“I don’t know why, but after chatting with you that time, I felt that if I didn’t choose to Breakthrough, I might regret it for the rest of my life.”

As the two chatted.

Li Shanhai sighed,

“It’s just a pity that I’ll be transferred to another place in the future.”

After all, he was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator now, and being a steward in the Utility Disciple courtyard of Lingxiu Peak was indeed a waste of his talent.

“Do you want to be the steward of the Utility Disciple courtyard?”

Li Shanhai suddenly asked.
