Five days later.

Eastern Wilderness, Great Xia Empire, a hundred miles further east lies the East Sea.

Chu Xian looked at the vast open space before him, and the unease in his heart finally dissipated.

"Use the Sect Construction Card!"

[Please name the sect, Host!]

"Lingxiao!"

[Usage successful! Lingxiao Sect under construction!]

The next moment!

"Rumble!!!"

A thunderous roar emanated from deep within the earth, and the ground beneath Chu Xian's feet suddenly cracked open, releasing a shimmering white mist!

Then, mountains abruptly rose, several peaks emerging from the ground, piercing through the clouds!

A spirit spring in the back mountain burst through the rock layers, glistening under the sunlight!

In just a few breaths, the magnificent architecture of a sect appeared before the two men and a dog!

"Damn!"

"Master, mas... mas..."

Yu Jian stammered for a long time without getting a coherent word out.

Da Huang widened his dog eyes, his four legs trembling in fear.

"Woof?"

Chu Xian, having seen grand scenes before, quickly calmed himself and explained:

"This was prepared for me by your grandmaster, no need to be surprised."

As soon as they stepped into the sect, a figure appeared instantly!

"Lingxiao Sect's Chi Yu greets the Sect Master!"

The woman had fiery red hair like blazing flames, skin as smooth as jade, and her crimson attire accentuated her perfect curves.

Barefoot, she floated quietly in the air, untouched by a speck of dust.

The appearance of the woman before him made Chu Xian feel at ease!

This must be the Great Elder provided by the system!

A Great Emperor-level expert!

However, the system had already set the rule that NPCs cannot leave the sect's boundaries.

"Great Elder, thank you for guarding the sect."

Chu Xian said this, while inwardly asking the system:

"System, will this Great Elder ever kick me out of the sect?"

[Rest assured, Host, anything produced by the system is top-notch! NPCs are absolutely loyal to the Host!]

[Host has entered the sect territory, system tasks are now activated]

[Main quest activated: Recruit ten disciples for the sect]

[Task completion: 1/10]

[Reward: Host's cultivation will be elevated to Spirit Spring Stage Peak]

[Side quest activated: Each time a sect disciple advances a realm, the Host earns a chance to draw a prize]

[Current draw chances: 0]

Chu Xian was well aware of the cultivation realms in this world, which are divided into four stages and ten realms:

Mortal Rank: Qi Condensation, Meridian Opening, Spirit Spring

Spirit Rank: Profound Core, Divine Sea, Dao Seeking

Saint Stage: Unity, Semi-Saint, Great Saint

Emperor Stage: Great Emperor

Back in the day, Chu Xian had reached the Unity Realm!

He was even respectfully called a Little Saint!

If the Unity Realm were placed in the Great Xia Empire, it would be an invincible existence!

And the Spirit Spring Stage Peak, as a task reward, was already enough for self-preservation in the eastern region of the Great Xia Empire.

After roughly understanding the system's functions, Chu Xian had Chi Yu lead the three men and a dog towards the main peak of Lingxiao Sect.

"Damn! Da Huang, have you ever seen grapes that emit blue flames?"

"Woof?"

Chi Yu timely explained, "Ice Flame Crystal Grapes, a Saint Medicine, eating one can give a cultivator a strand of Saint Fire."

Chu Xian's pupils contracted!

Back then, to help the Pill Saint of Yunxiao Sect obtain a strand of Saint Fire, he had to destroy fifty-eight sects!

And here, it's just a matter of eating a grape?

That's too damn ridiculous!

"Hey! Da Huang! You damn dog! That's a Saint Medicine! You..."

Yu Jian's cursing immediately caught Chu Xian's attention, as he saw Da Huang spew out a few strands of blue flame.

The next moment, with a gulp, Da Huang swallowed the entire bunch of grapes!

Yu Jian panicked, grabbing Da Huang into his arms, and his fists rained down on the dog's belly like raindrops!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Da Huang! You you you..."

"That's a Saint Medicine, you're just a mutt, you'll explode!"

"Hurry and spit it out!"

"Boom!"

Da Huang's dog body suddenly erupted with a massive amount of blue flames!

Fortunately, Chu Xian was quick to react, pulling Yu Jian back, or else they would have been engulfed by the blue fire!

Chu Xian held his forehead, helplessly gesturing to Chi Yu.

Chi Yu immediately understood.

Chi Yu raised her jade hand lightly, and a ray of light entered Da Huang's body.

Then, the three of them saw a large yellow dog reborn in the blue flames!

Yellow dog, blue fire, although the colors were quite jarring, the aura emanating from Da Huang was incredibly fierce!

"Woof!!!"

A single bark forced Chu Xian and Yu Jian to retreat repeatedly!

"What are you barking at?"

Yu Jian, being a Qi Condensation Fifth Stage cultivator, found himself unable to resist Da Huang's pressure and could only shout in anger!

"I said, what the hell are you barking at!"

With that, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at Da Huang!

"Thud!"

"Whimper~~~"

Da Huang finally recognized reality, tucking his tail between his legs and trotting to the side.

Chu Xian saw more than Yu Jian did.

"Da Huang actually developed cultivation! It looks like it's around the Meridian Opening Fifth Stage!"

"A bunch of Saint Medicine actually turned an ordinary mutt into a Spirit Beast!"

"And it directly skipped Qi Condensation, becoming a Meridian Opening Stage Spirit Beast!"

"This is getting more and more ridiculous!"

Chu Xian then looked at Chi Yu with an endless sense of security!

Is this what a Great Emperor is? Effortlessly changing the fate of a creature!

Now, besides Chi Yu, the NPC, Da Huang became the top combat power of Lingxiao Sect!

As they ventured deeper into the sect, the surrounding spiritual energy grew denser.

"Master... why do I feel that the spiritual energy here is denser than in our Yunxiao Sacred Land?"

Due to his lost cultivation, Chu Xian had no sense of the spiritual energy, but Yu Jian noticed something was amiss first.

"Master! I'm about to break through!"

With that, Yu Jian immediately sat cross-legged, focusing on his breakthrough.

In just a few breaths, a muffled sound came from within Yu Jian's body.

Yu Jian gently stood up, exhaling a breath of impure air, and couldn't help but smile, "Master! I've reached Qi Condensation Sixth Stage!"

Chu Xian nodded with a smile, "Hmm! Not bad!"

On the system panel, Chu Xian's draw chances quietly increased by one.

The three men and a dog finally arrived at the main peak of Lingxiao Sect.

Taking advantage of Chi Yu leading Yu Jian to choose a residence, Chu Xian opened the system backpack.

[Items: Grand Heavenly Immortal Physique Activation Card X1, Grand Heavenly Immortal Technique X1]

"Use the Grand Heavenly Immortal Physique Activation Card!"

[Choose a target for use: Yu Jian (currently the only available option)]

[Confirm use of the Grand Heavenly Immortal Physique Activation Card on Yu Jian?]

Chu Xian didn't hesitate: "Confirm!"

[Grand Heavenly Immortal Physique activating...]

Yu Jian, who was following Chi Yu, suddenly had his body flicker with golden light, his robes fluttering wildly.

The next moment, his body burst with light, runes flowing, seemingly merging with heaven and earth!

The blinding golden light seemed to tear the sky apart, and every wave of spiritual energy made the air tremble!

Yu Jian was like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

"Ah!!!"

The excruciating pain made Yu Jian scream out loud.

The cutting pain all over his body caused Yu Jian to faint from the agony!
