This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 385 - 14: The Realm of the Netherworld (4000 words)_2
Chapter 385: Chapter 14: The Realm of the Netherworld (4000 words)_2
From its name, its purpose is evident.
The Material Hall serves as the Spiritual Material Hall, and the Hall of Enlightenment as the Technique Hall.
The Hall of Enlightenment is actually a vast complex of halls, and the one Lu Qingshan was searching for was specifically responsible for the inheritance of Golden Core Cultivator Cultivation Techniques.
In terms of Cultivation Techniques, the Sword Sect does not make it difficult for its disciples.
It hardly makes sense to accept disciples into the Sword Sect and then impose various conditions for them to learn the Sect’s techniques.
Lu Qingshan was admitted to the Hall of Inheritance, where an elderly Sword Cultivator came to greet him.
“Disciple wishes to apply for the Sect’s Nascent Soul Technique,” Lu Qingshan said, bowing.
After verifying Lu Qingshan’s Sword Token, the elderly Sword Cultivator nodded slightly, turned, and entered the hall. When he emerged, a Taoist Jade flew out from his hand.
“This Taoist Jade contains the Sect’s ‘Heaven Cutting Sword Scripture,’ Nascent Soul Chapter, which is the fundamental Cultivation Technique for Golden Core Cultivators to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Cultivation is the basis of all, you must cultivate diligently, do not lose yourself in the Sword Dao and forget the importance of Cultivation Techniques,” the elderly Sword Cultivator admonished with a warning.
At his age, he had experienced too much.
Within the Sword Sect, there were many obsessed with the Sword Dao, neglecting the Cultivation of Techniques, and he had seen a few such Sword Cultivators over the years.
Thus, since taking over the matters of the Hall of Enlightenment at Heng Peak, he always made it a point to say this to disciples who came to apply for Techniques.
Whether it was useful or not, he did not care. His main concern was to put his mind at ease.
“Thank you, Uncle Master, for this opportunity,” Lu Qingshan said as he accepted the Taoist Jade, bowing deeply to the elderly Sword Cultivator.
Cultivators like the elderly Sword Cultivator, with not much life left, voluntarily chose to shine brightly one last time within the Sword Sect.
Many cultivators, when nearing the end of their lives, would choose to indulge in the pleasures of the world.
There is no right or wrong between the two, but respect is certainly due for the former.
The Material Hall is not far from the Hall of Enlightenment.
After verifying his Sword Token, Lu Qingshan entered the Material Hall, feeling somewhat excited.
This was the treasure vault of the Taoist Sect, and how many had ever seen it?
Within the first floor of the Material Hall, it was spacious and bright, much larger than it appeared from the outside.
This was the technique of making a small world within a mustard seed.
Unlike the unrestricted access to the inheritances in the Hall of Enlightenment, the Material Hall had stricter conditions.
The reason is simple: the prices of Spirit Materials within the Material Hall were extremely affordable, often 20% lower than the market price.
If there were no restrictions, it would be hard to prevent disciples of the Sect from engaging in buy-low-sell-high trades, purchasing Spirit Materials at low prices from the Material Hall and reselling them at high prices to outer Sect cultivators.
The restrictions of the Material Hall, in a nutshell, were about “quotas.”
Each cultivator could only purchase Spirit Materials up to a certain total value within the Material Hall.
This total value was derived from adding a base quota and an additional quota.
The base quota depended on the cultivator’s level of cultivation.
The additional quota could be increased by completing some Sect tasks or meeting specific conditions such as being ranked on the Yellow List.
At this time, Lu Qingshan naturally only had the base quota.
However, the Sword Sect was still characteristically generous and open-handed.

As a Golden Core Cultivator, he actually had a quota of five Spirit Crystals.
His goal was clear and defined, he needed Withered Dragon Wood, Earth Dragon Essence, and Mutton Fat White Jade—three types of Spirit Materials.
These were materials required to upgrade the Peach Blossom Sword to a superior grade Heavenly Artifact.
All three Spirit Materials were of Sixth Grade, quite valuable, and added to the high amounts Lu Qingshan required, even with a 30% reduction in price, his quota still wasn’t enough.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan had anticipated this situation before coming and had purchased an additional six Spirit Crystal worth of quota from Ji Chuan at the price of two Spirit Crystals.
It should be noted this was just for the quota.
Lu Qingshan still needed to pay with his own Spirit Crystals to procure these Spirit Materials.
The preciousness of the Material Hall quota in the Sword Sect was thus evident.
Of course, it was worth the value; if Lu Qingshan had to find these materials himself, it was uncertain how much time he would need to gather all three types of materials.
With enough quota, Lu Qingshan waved his hand generously and spent eight Spirit Crystals to finally gather all the materials needed for upgrading the Peach Blossom Sword.
In total, he spent ten Spirit Crystals.
These ten Spirit Crystals were equivalent to the wealth of ten Nascent Soul Cultivators.
More explicitly, because the Spirit Energy contained within Spirit Crystals was exceptionally pure, forming a crystal marrow, cultivators could use Spirit Crystals to rapidly cultivate and break through barriers.
Completely absorbing one Spirit Crystal could be converted into fifty thousand Experience Points.
That is to say, in the blink of an eye, Lu Qingshan had again invested five hundred thousand Experience Points into the Peach Blossom Sword.
It was indeed fortunate that the Seven Domains Dao Conferencing had rewarded him with one hundred Spirit Crystals, which enabled Lu Qingshan to afford this expenditure.
……
Eastern Domain, Lao State, Yuan Mansion, Burial Ridge.
The land here was barren and yellow, spreading out as far as the eye could see, its color resembling a desert, exuding a sense of desolation.
Over a brownish ore vein, two figures hovered in midair.
“We’ve arrived, this is our destination,” Ji Chuan said to a plain-looking male cultivator beside him whose specific level of cultivation was inconspicuous because of an internally restrained aura.
“Primordial Stone Orchid Mine, Qiu Family…” The male cultivator looked down at the yellow tinge below, mumbling to himself.
This male cultivator was naturally Lu Qingshan, who used the Night Ancient Jade to conceal his identity.
After traveling through the Sect’s Teleportation Array directly to Lao State, they immediately headed to this location.
The help request received by the Sword Sect was related to the owners of this brownish ore vein, the Qiu Family.
Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan discussed the details of their mission.
Burial Ridge, this was a very peculiar region.
This place was under the jurisdiction of Yuan Mansion, but its area was actually much larger, even exceeding that of Yuan Mansion itself.
