“What?! Elder Ma died at the hands of that cultivator? Isn’t he a Primordial Liquid Realm cultivator?”

In the backyard of the Jing ‘an branch of the Six Zhuo trading company, the head shopkeeper stared at the deacon, who was reporting the news, with his mouth agape.

The deacon was very helpless.

“The news was wrong in the past. He is a genuine grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm. These days, he is lecturing about the divine ability of advancing to the Divine Sea Realm!”

This deacon also wanted to go and listen in.

The head shopkeeper was in a daze. He staggered and sank down in the chair behind him.

The misinformation had caused the trading firm to lose an elder of the Divine Sea Realm. His old life was probably in danger.

There were only four masters of the Divine Sea Realm in the entire trading firm! They were assets that allowed them to compete with other trading firms.

“No, the requirements of advancing to the Divine Sea Realm is being taught publicly?!”

It took the head shopkeeper quite a while to realize the meaning of these words.

This was a major event! The trading firm and those cultivation clans would not spare such cultivators who broke the unspoken rules!

If everyone directly taught such an important technique, what right did those big forces have to strengthen their forces and attract talents?

Thus, the head shopkeeper reported the news to the Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, he gathered more people to crusade against He Xiuxing.

Time passed.

“What? ! Seven or eight grandmasters of the Divine Sea Realm from the big cultivation families and trading companies died at the hands of that cultivator!”

“He can’t be an Immortal Soul Realm cultivator, right?”

In the backyard of the Jing An branch of the Six Zhuo trading company, the head shopkeeper was about to cry.

His family’s life was entrusted to this.

The deacon was still in fear.

“According to the bystanders, that grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm only used his palms to fight the enemy. His power is unparalleled.”

“He is a powerful warrior who has entered the Divine Sea Realm for at least 600 years.”

“But he didn’t display any Immortal Soul Realm techniques. I don’t think he is an Immortal Soul Realm Daoist master.”

With that, the deacon put his hand over his chest.

“Did those big families leak any information and send more people?”

The head shopkeeper was grasping at straws.

The deacon shook his head.

“Those big families all backed out and said that they wanted to take him down. They must have suffered heavy losses when they let those hostile families have it for free.”

“There are a lot of big families and small and medium-sized sects in the cultivation world!”

“It’s better to seal off Purple Immortal City and not let other cultivators in. That way, the Divine Sea Technique won’t spread.”

When the head shopkeeper heard this, he began to spout nonsense.

“Then, then, what about the other larger sects? These cultivators who break the rules, they won’t come to uphold justice.”

The deacon glanced at the head shopkeeper with pity.

“In our place, how big of a force can there be? Resources are already scarce. It would be difficult to even think of a cultivator of the middle three realms.”

“Those cultivators of the middle three realms won’t care about the affairs of this remote place.”

“Anyway, the ten sects of the eastern region occupy the places with the most abundant resources. They are not in a hurry.”

“Head shopkeeper, head shopkeeper!” The deacon looked at the head shopkeeper who had fallen to the ground with his hands and feet twitching. He was spitting out blood.

He Xiuxing looked down.

When he was at his peak, the landscape had been crowded with cultivators.

However, the top of Anxi Mountain was now empty, with less than 4,000 cultivators.

Because the cultivation techniques he had imparted to them were only at the Divine Sea Realm.

It took about a month to finish, so in the past half a year, he had repeated it six times.

In the entire Purple Immortal City, those who could come to listen had long knew it by heart.

Their juniors, relatives, and friends could also hear it from their mouths, and they did not need to travel through mountains and rivers to come here.

These 4,000 cultivators came because today was the day when he had to answer questions in cultivation.

On normal days, there were less than a hundred cultivators on Anxi Mountain.

Of course, those cultivators needed to fight for resources in order to break through, so it was reasonable to make such a choice.

He Xiuxing stood up, and the cultivators below all bowed respectfully.

The beasts and birds in the forest also cupped their hands and bowed in a similar manner.

For example, the white fox, that small dog, and the golden mouse.

They were all standing in human form with two front claws raised, while the birds flapped their wings and bent them.

These days, the cultivators were still getting along with the beasts and birds, and they all knew how to repay kindness.

He Xiuxing often saw precious spiritual herbs from other places outside the bamboo hut, spiritual fruits, materials, and so on.

However, He Xiuxing did not care about these things. After all, he cultivated the way of mortals. These things were not useful.

And what Ye Changge needed was not of this level.

Therefore, after he finished his sermon, he instructed those who had delivered the items to take them back.

He did not usually show any favoritism.

After everyone knew that He Xiuxing really did not need them, they gradually stopped behaving in this way.

… In Purple Immortal City.

“Brother Wan, are you really going somewhere else?”

Zhang Shao asked Xu Lin. They had sat down and listened to the Dao for twenty years, so their friendship had become quite good.

Xu Lin nodded, full of energy.

“After receiving my teacher’s guidance these years, I have been in the Pulse Realm for ten years.”

“But the resources in Purple Immortal City are scarce, and the atmosphere of cultivation is not strong.”

“So I want to go out and explore the various countries.”

“I want to condense the spirit sea one day so that I can pass down my teacher’s doctrine. Fellow Daoists, why don’t you go out and explore as well?”

Zhang Shao was silent for a while before he said, “Yes, we have learned most of the things that teacher can teach us.”

“If we continue listening, we won’t gain anything else. If we want to achieve the spirit sea, relying on the resources here is indeed impossible.”

“Since you can make up your mind, Brother Xu, I won’t lose to you.”

After listening to him, someone else echoed.

“Good. Brother Zhang, you still have some pride in your heart.”

Cultivator Li praised.

“Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that many Divine Sea Realm grandmasters came to look for trouble with teacher that year, we wouldn’t even have enough materials to advance to the Pulse Realm. All the materials fell into teacher’s hands”

“Yeah, the resources these years aren’t easy to find.”

Someone echoed.

“Purple Immortal City is really too barren. We can only go out and explore.”

“In the future, wouldn’t it be great to establish a sect in a place with beautiful fengshui and establish the doctrine for our teacher?”

Those hesitant Pulse Realm cultivators were stirred up by Xu Lin and Cultivator Li.

However, they still had some misgivings.

“Those big cultivation countries are not like Purple Immortal City. The competition is fierce.”

“If we go out like this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to compete with the cultivators in those places.”

“Not to mention the top ten sects and several big cultivation families in the eastern region.”

Xu Lin was very mature. “I’ve planned this for a long time.”

“Oh? I wonder what brother Xu has in mind.”

Everyone looked at Xu Lin.

“Teacher has collected nearly twenty spiritual artifacts from those grandmasters of the Divine Sea Realm. It shouldn’t be a problem for us to ask for one.”

He looked around. “After all, we are also going out to establish the doctrine for him.”

These words were dignified, but they made Zhang Shao frown a little.

Teacher did not take a single cent from his preaching. It was clearly him and the others who had taken advantage of who knew how much.

It was inappropriate for them to ask for spiritual artifacts in the name of establishing the doctrine for him.

Xu Lin continued, “However, there is one thing that I have to remind everyone about.”

“When we arrive in other countries, we can not preach openly like the teacher. Otherwise, we will die without a burial place.”

“We can only follow the rules and establish sects, clans, or accept one or two disciples to inherit the doctrine.”

The cultivators nodded. They all knew very well about the how the outside world would react.

Then, they decided to go up the mountain overnight and ask their teacher for a spiritual artifact.

Only Zhang Shao wanted to save face and did not agree to go with them.
