Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

In an ancient courtyard suffused with the fragrance of books, wisps of tea mist rose, making the entire courtyard seem even more detached from the mortal world.

The Zi Xuan Hermit, clad in a purple robe, sat in a Taishi Chair, holding a teacup and gently sipping from it.

His expression was rather relaxed, without a trace of furrowing brows.

He then looked towards the front of the hall, where a group of disciples stood, offering their salutations.

Surprisingly, he nodded in response.

The record-keeping disciples seemed somewhat surprised, but those direct disciples all had a usual demeanor.

Following that, the Zi Xuan Hermit waved his hand, and a meditation cushion appeared and settled behind the group.

A few direct disciples familiarly sat down, while the record-keeping disciples also settled into a meditative posture at the indication of the Zi Xuan Hermit.

"Today, since you have all gathered, it is rare for your teacher to speak at length with you about the Purple Mansion..." The Zi Xuan Hermit moistened his throat and began to speak deliberately.

At this moment, his words were like the sound of the Great Dao, unhurried yet crucial, shaking one's very soul.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The content bestowed was naturally the process of Foundation Establishment cultivators breaking through to the Purple Mansion.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi were initially shocked, but then they listened very attentively.

Although the rightful ancestor of the Lin Family was a Purple Mansion cultivator, he had established the family after leaving the sect, and neither Lin Xianzhi nor Lin Shiming had ever met this ancestor.

The Lin Family also lacked the jade slips containing insights on the breakthrough to the Purple Mansion. Continue your adventure at empire

Concerning the Purple Mansion, they only had superficial knowledge from books, knowing of the state, but not its true form.

Immortal cultivation is inherently difficult, and it's even harder when one lacks knowledge!

This is also the greatest hurdle for most loose cultivators and cultivators from smaller clans.

However, what neither of them expected was that the Zi Xuan Hermit had not gathered them to assign tasks within the Secret Realm, but to impart teachings and resolve doubts!

While he did not get specific about how to transform the Spirit Platform into the Purple Mansion, many experiences he shared enlightened the disciples greatly.

This lesson lasted for most of the day.

From sunrise to sunset, the more than ten disciples present had all gained much.

Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi now felt even more poignant, believing they had seen clearly the intentions of the Zi Xuan Hermit, yet at this moment, they were once again perplexed, with gratitude burgeoning in their hearts, and doubts significantly lessened.

Especially Lin Xianzhi, who let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

When the lecture ended, accompanied by the sunset, the Zi Xuan Hermit also put away his already cold Spiritual Tea.

A rare solemnity appeared on his face as he looked at the group of disciples.

Among his disciples belonging to the Qingxuan Sect, there were a total of four. Xie An was ranked second, and the chief disciple, named Chen Daoyuan, was said to have been raised by the Zi Xuan Hermit from infancy, a Dual Spirit Root with Wood and Metal attributes, and naturally a Sword Cultivator!

He was also the leader designated by the Zi Xuan Hermit's lineage for this venture into the Secret Realm.

His cultivation level was rumored to have already reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, and he had even attempted to break through to the Purple Mansion once, albeit unsuccessfully.

But having attempted the Purple Mansion once, his Spirit Platform was nearly half transformed into the Purple Mansion, his Divine Soul and Divine Sense far surpassing Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

As for the other two direct disciples of the Zi Xuan Hermit, one was named Ye Qingren, and the other was Zhao Yongchang; both were late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. Despite their youth, their proficiency in the Sword Dao had already taken form as Sword Qi.

Among the remaining disciples, Lin Shiming had one acquaintance, Ye Changyuan, a cultivator of the Ye Family, who, just like Lin Shiming, was a named disciple under the Zi Xuan Hermit.

The remaining four were from established Foundation Establishment families within the Qingxuan Sect's territory, but with fame and strength far inferior to Ye Changyuan, their cultivation levels, although also late-stage Foundation Establishment, seemed somewhat mediocre to Lin Shiming.

At this moment, all eleven were sitting upright with proper decorum.

The Zi Xuan Hermit finally spoke:

"You must have been guessing in your hearts, why I have gathered you before the journey into the Secret Realm!"

"It has been four hundred and twenty springs and autumns since I started my cultivation journey upon entering the mountains, and a hundred years ago, I became ensnared at the peak of the Purple Mansion, unable to make any further progress! But which cultivator doesn't envy the Great Dao, and who wouldn't want to become a True Person? Your teacher is naturally filled with reluctance!"

"I won't deceive you; this mission requires you to retrieve for your teacher a Soul Summoning Sword, to aid in the perfection of my Sword Dao and the accomplishment of the Golden Core Path!"

At this point, all the disciples were stunned by the Zi Xuan Hermit's extremely direct and frank words, but each maintained a composed expression, though their eyes were clearly turbulent.

Seeing that the disciples remained silent, with an unchanging expression, the Zi Xuan Hermit looked out of the wooden window with a hint of desolation, then turned his gaze back to his disciples.

"Of course, I am aware of the difficulties of this mission. I will bestow upon each of you the strongest sword techniques to enhance your strength!"

"Furthermore, whoever manages to bring back the Soul Summoning Sword for your teacher, I promise they will reach the Purple Mansion, enjoy Lifespan Elixirs, and benefit from Purple Mansion Elixirs. If it's a named disciple, I guarantee that their family will become a Purple Mansion Family!"

Promise after promise from the Zi Xuan Hermit lighted up the eyes of all the disciples,

Especially those like Xie An, whose lifespans were nearly exhausted. Even with Purple Mansion Jade Liquid, the chance of breakthrough was slim, even if they had Dragon Blood Pills.

After all, unless it was a Fourth Rank Dragon Blood Pill, a common Third Rank Dragon Blood Pill aiding a Qi Cultivator to break through Foundation Establishment was already a defiance of the heavens.

And now, the Lifespan Elixirs mentioned by the Zi Xuan Hermit were naturally different; they were capable of significantly increasing a cultivator's lifespan, and only then could someone break through to the Purple Mansion without worries.

Once one broke through to the Purple Mansion, one would jump to the status of a Hermit, enjoying five hundred years of life!

Although it's still not eternal life, it's a realm that countless immortal cultivators dream of at night.

Moreover, once one reaches such a realm, who can say for certain there is no chance to break through the Golden Core, with the prospect of a thousand years of life within reach!
