Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 794 - 403: The Sect’s Vigorous Development, Spiritual Soil Everywhere_2

Shen Yan’s gaze flickered as he considered his options.

He possessed self-awareness, despite his Earth Spirit Root Talent.

Ultimately, he was a cultivator who had started his path midway; others might not readily trust him.

However, the Western Continent presented a different scenario. Dominated by the Demon Race, the Human Race there was exceptionally weak.

It verged on extinction.

The Primordial Talisman Sect stood as the sole Human Race sect and the only power within the Western Continent.

Consequently, regardless of his origins, as long as he belonged to the Human Race, the Primordial Talisman Sect would embrace him.

Such an opportunity might not have arisen if he had remained in the Southern Continent.

After all, the Southern Continent harbored a vast human population. If the Primordial Talisman Sect had appeared there, numerous talented cultivators would have been recruited, leaving him without a chance to join.

Thus, his arrival in the Western Continent genuinely represented a significant opportunity.

"That is undeniably the case."

"I surmise the Primordial Talisman Sect's unrestricted recruitment of disciples is largely linked to the Western Continent's predicament."

"Humans are exceedingly vulnerable here."

"A mere four hundred thousand Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators are utterly insignificant, fundamentally no match for other Demon Races."

"Hence, the Primordial Talisman Sect recruits disciples without limitation; they welcome all who come."

"You joined the Primordial Talisman Sect at an opportune moment, precisely when it is undergoing rapid development."

"Therefore, all manner of precious resources will become accessible."

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl vehemently concurred with this assessment.

...

Several days later.

Upon their arrival at the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, Shen Yan and the others were swiftly assigned tasks by various Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Some individuals were tasked with constructing cities.

Others received assignments to build roads.

Still others were responsible for planting Spirit Fields.

As for Shen Yan, his duty was to cultivate Tier One Spirit Medicine Calming Flowers.

These flowers constitute the primary ingredient for refining Calming Pills, which enhance soul power upon consumption.

They also serve to dispel distracting thoughts during cultivation, thereby boosting cultivation efficiency.

It was widely known that this elixir was popular among many Outer Sect Disciples and commanded a high price.

He was also assigned to plant a hundred acres of Calming Flowers.

Should he succeed, he would accrue a substantial amount of contribution value from the sect.

"This Secret Realm World is indeed a place awaiting prosperity."

"It appears to have been forsaken for countless millennia, only now undergoing development."

Shen Yan spoke with considerable emotion.

After reaching the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, he had gained a rough understanding of much information regarding this Secret Realm World.

Undoubtedly, this was an uninhabited Secret Realm World.

Excluding disciples of the Primordial Talisman Sect, virtually no other outside cultivators could gain entry here.

Furthermore, due to its prolonged abandonment, the area was lush with trees and overgrown with weeds.

These Outer Sect Disciples expended considerable effort before they could clear the wilderness and establish city after city.

In just a few short years, the entire Wood Dragon Secret Realm had seen the rise of a dozen human cities.

"Currently, not many humans reside in the Wood Dragon Secret Realm."

"One could say the Primordial Talisman Sect is planning for the future."

"They are dispatching you to the Wood Dragon Secret Realm to construct city after city."

"When the newly born populations mature, they will be relocated here."

"In a few more decades or a century, this Secret Realm World will become vibrant."

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl remarked.

It greatly admired the foresight of the Primordial Talisman Sect, which was building cities in advance.

The purpose was to accommodate a large influx of new populations.

If they had waited for these populations to grow before constructing cities, who knew what conflicts might have arisen.

Moreover, the emergence of a large number of cultivators would inevitably lead to a sharp depletion of cultivation resources.

Only through large-scale cultivation of Spirit Medicine could the needs of so many cultivators be met.

"That is indeed the case."

"I suppose that's also why the Primordial Talisman Sect recruits so many Outer Sect Disciples."

"Anyone possessing Spirit Root talent can join the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"Simply because the sect is currently severely understaffed."

"Even First-Layer Qi Cultivation stage cultivators are required to work, cultivating farmland."

Shen Yan could not help but nod.

He felt that the current period was simply an era of significant development for the Primordial Talisman Sect.

The initial batch of Outer Sect Disciples who arrived at the Wood Dragon Secret Realm alone numbered over ten thousand.

Essentially, each person was responsible for one hundred acres of Spirit Fields.

If all were combined, it amounted to over a million acres of medicinal fields; this figure was indeed exaggerated.

Nevertheless, even so, relative to the vast area of the Wood Dragon Secret Realm, it was merely a drop in the ocean.

Without ten thousand years of development, it was estimated that the Wood Dragon Secret Realm could not be fully utilized.

"However, the spiritual soil of this Secret Realm World is incredibly potent."

"It feels as though the Spirit Medicine seeds can readily grow simply by being scattered."

"I planted Calming Flowers a few days ago, and they have already begun to take root and sprout."

"Elsewhere, Calming Flowers would require meticulous nurturing to flourish."

At this moment, Shen Yan exclaimed in admiration.

He finally comprehended what it meant for land to be fertile.

Soil as rich as that found in the Wood Dragon Secret Realm allowed anything planted to grow quickly, and the yield would undoubtedly surpass that of other locations.

This Secret Realm World resembled a colossal medicinal garden.

Back when he was in the Southern Continent, he also tended to some Spirit Medicine.

However, those Spirit Medicines were exceptionally delicate and would wilt with the slightest neglect.

How could it be like now, where such intensive care was not needed for them to thrive?

The disparity between the two was immense.

"In fact, Spirit Medicine forms the bedrock of the Cultivation Realm."

"Whether it's the Human Race or other races, Spirit Medicine holds paramount importance."

"Consider Alchemists, for instance; their ability to refine elixirs grants them esteemed status."

"The problem is that even the most skilled alchemist is useless without Spirit Medicine."

"You have also acquired the heritage from the ancient Alchemy Sect, Hundred Herbs Sect, which includes many ancient elixir recipes."

"But they are of no practical use because many Spirit Medicines required for these ancient recipes are no longer found."

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl said helplessly.

It originally hailed from the Hundred Herbs Sect, an ancient-era Alchemy Sect's magical treasure.

Obtaining it was tantamount to acquiring the Hundred Herbs Sect's legacy.

That explained Shen Yan's rapid cultivation progress and advanced alchemy skills.

Yet, upon arriving in this era, it quickly discovered that the knowledge of the Hundred Herbs Sect was outdated.

It couldn't precisely be called outdated, but many elixir recipes held no practical application in this era.

After all, if even the Spirit Medicine was extinct, the elixir recipes served no purpose.

The only useful aspect was the alchemy techniques.

This was likely an eternally relevant skill.

"That is indeed the case."

"The scarcity of Spirit Medicine is precisely why Alchemists are few."

"The profession of Alchemist inherently demands accumulated experience."

"But where does a beginner alchemist find the opportunity to refine elixirs?"

"Many novices might require ten years before they can refine a single batch of elixirs."

"Consequently, progress is exceedingly slow."

Shen Yan nodded.

In fact, after joining the Primordial Talisman Sect, he felt as if he had arrived at an alchemist's paradise.

The quantity of Spirit Medicine here far surpassed what was available outside.

Even ordinary Outer Sect Disciples could obtain some Spirit Medicine for practice, thereby increasing their alchemy experience.

This also resulted in the Primordial Talisman Sect having many more alchemists compared to other sects.

However, the sect's most numerous cultivators were actually Talisman Masters.

After all, the fundamental heritage of the Primordial Talisman Sect lay in Talisman crafting.

Moreover, Talisman Masters required significantly fewer resources than alchemists, making it easier to begin.

"Regardless, this sect is undoubtedly your optimal place for advancement."

"It is said that achieving Foundation Establishment or even becoming a Golden Core Cultivator grants you the qualification to establish a peak."

"At that time, perhaps the heritage of the Hundred Herbs Sect can be transmitted."

"This way, the Hundred Herbs Sect will not vanish into history."

The Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl stated solemnly.

As a magical treasure embodying the Hundred Herbs Sect's heritage, it naturally did not wish for the Hundred Herbs Sect to simply disappear.

If possible, it hoped the knowledge of the Hundred Herbs Sect could once again be seen.

"Of course, I will strive diligently."

Shen Yan nodded, clenching his fist, a determined glint in his eyes.
