Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant

Chapter 681 - 323: Extreme Number True Immortal

With this fire, one can refine herbs into pills, improving cultivation, and more.It must be understood that once one becomes an Immortal, very few can continue to possess skills in the Immortal Professions!

The reason being, becoming an Immortal is exceedingly difficult for cultivators in the world; focusing on the Great Dao is already arduous and barely progressing, so very few are willing to split their focus on the Immortal Professions. Moreover, when Crossing the Tribulation to become an Immortal, if one wishes to retain these abilities, they must undergo an additional trial... So, unless they are of firm mind and great capability, they often give up.

Like Li An, who retains three Immortal Profession abilities after becoming an Immortal... One might say such individuals are extremely rare.

It is precisely because there are so few Immortal Talisman Masters, that they are highly coveted in the Immortal Realm. According to Li An, powers like the Gong Clan and Yi Clan simply cannot afford to support even one Immortal Talisman Master or Immortal Array Master, with fewer than ten individuals within Purple Cloud Mountain.

In the vast Purple Cloud Province, there are countless cultivators, and Immortals are as common as carp crossing the river, but those who hold the power of the Immortal Professions are so few, indicating the situation clearly.

"Externally, I can only exhibit one ability!"

Li An is extremely cautious. Although he intends to reveal his talents in Purple Cloud Mountain, there’s a need for moderation. An Immortal appearing with mastery over three professions all at once would likely cause a sensation throughout Purple Cloud Mountain, drawing attention and even covetousness from the higher-ups, which would be counterproductive.

One must always keep an ace up their sleeve.

Even his Immortal Dao Fruit needs to be disguised; he cannot let others know he has achieved Extreme Number Perfection Dao Fruit, revealing only seven petals should be sufficient.

Seven petals, already a True Immortal, marking him as a top genius within Purple Cloud Mountain. With the status of an Immortal Professions Master, Li An is assured of receiving the attention he desires.

He checked his Anomaly Crystals again and was somewhat astonished that the over three thousand pieces he carried with him had now dwindled to just eighty or ninety!

He couldn’t help but sigh; the desire for higher cultivation and Dao Fruits consumes far more Anomaly Crystals than ordinary individuals...

Typically, around five hundred Middle Grade Anomaly Crystals are entirely sufficient to transition from Crossing the Tribulation to Immortal.

Yet he used multiples of that amount!

Luckily, he had brought plenty with him, otherwise, if he had run short of Anomaly Crystals midway, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"No, for the next breakthrough, I must be well-prepared..."

Although he always remained calm with several Profound Immortal Pills in hand, now he couldn’t help but feel a bit pressed.

"After becoming an Immortal, my cultivation now consumes more Anomaly Crystals, likely requiring two thousand Lower Grade Anomaly Crystals per month..."

Two thousand Lower Grade Anomaly Crystals are equivalent to twenty Middle Grade Anomaly Crystals.

This quantity also exceeds that of typical Immortals.

Li An did not rush to leave but stayed for a while. After all, this place, with such dense mystical qi, is the source of the entire Purple Cloud Mountain, leaving early would be a huge loss.

...

Two months later.

Li An’s time came, and he stepped out from the Array Position, as a beam of light instantly fell upon him. A grand voice echoed in the cavern hall: "Seven petals on the Immortal Flower, True Immortal!"

Every disciple who becomes an Immortal undergoes such a test, allowing Purple Cloud Mountain to identify geniuses immediately.

As soon as this voice sounded, it caused a stir in the cavern hall.

"Which genius is it?"

"It’s been so long since a True Immortal appeared, is there another top genius in the mountain?"

"Is it that elder’s disciple?"

The crowd was abuzz with chatter, but most were within the Array Position, unable to directly see Li An.

"Hmm, a bone age of over three thousand, under four thousand, it’s a late bloomer, developing with accumulated strength, not bad at all!"

An elder descended gracefully, his eyes glowing with a golden light as he glanced at Li An, saying: "A disciple of the Cloud Ascension Palace?"

Li An bowed and said: "Indeed."

"Apart from the Immortal Dao Fruit, you seem to have another Immortal Profession Dao Fruit?" the elder was very curious.

"Yes, this disciple diligently studied Talismans, unexpectedly integrating this method into Immortal Dao during this breakthrough, a fortunate stroke indeed!"

Li An considered revealing this the most fitting.

As an Immortal Talisman Master, his status was prestigious, and having Talisman by his side was more suitable, convenient for future conflicts within the sect and other matters.

"True Immortal and Immortal Talisman Master, excellent!"

The elder couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, saying: "It seems we have another genius in Purple Cloud Mountain. Your indescribable condition, is it still serious?"

Li An, hiding nothing, replied: "Scales have grown under my ribs, vaguely aching, as for what it might be, I am still unsure."

"Those who grow scales are heartless."

The elder smiled slightly, saying this; Li An had also heard such sayings regarding indescribable conditions, these sayings were compiled from the indescribable conditions of those who became Immortals. "Those who grow scales are heartless" is one such saying.

"You may return, we will issue your identity information everywhere, and your registry will be updated soon; monthly benefits will also be adjusted."

Geniuses naturally receive treatments befitting geniuses, even if Li An is currently just a registrant disciple, he will be given special excellence treatment.

Li An bowed and immediately took his leave.

...

After leaving the Divine Descent Place, Li An directly headed to the "Hundred Treasures Pavilion" on Purple Cloud Mountain.

At the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, one can not only purchase resources but also sell their own items, provided the pavilion is willing to buy.

Li An took out five Profound Immortal Pills at once!

The pavilion’s attendant was quite amazed; from Li An’s attire as just a registrant disciple of Cloud Ascension Palace, where did he get so many valuable items?

However, he did not ask much, carefully verifying the quality of the immortal pills, nodding and saying: "Top grade, we’ll buy them at the highest price, a thousand Middle Grade Anomaly Crystals each!"

The price is slightly lower than the trading market.
