Cultivation, Inc.I Use Capitalism to Fix a Dying Sect

Chapter 125: Elder Jin Jue Opens the Gold Gate

“But the Qingyun Sect has completely sealed their borders. How are we supposed to get in and investigate?” a Golden Core cultivator asked, his brows tightly furrowed.

“Heh, we cannot enter, but others can. If we cannot investigate, we can hire someone to investigate for us,” Wen Sha said, a faint smile on his face.

“Is the Sect Leader referring to the Seven Star Tower?” The others looked up at Wen Sha.

“Exactly. Currently, the only people who can enter the Qingyun Sect are from the Seven Star Tower. We can only investigate the Qingyun Sect through them.”

“But will the Seven Star Tower agree to help us?” someone frowned.

“Do not worry. We are not asking the Seven Star Tower to investigate for us. We only need to bribe a cultivator from the Seven Star Tower who can enter the Qingyun Sect, isn’t that right?”

Upon hearing this, the many Golden Core Elders below all had a gleam in their eyes.

“Alright, Elder Xu, you will arrange this. You are most familiar with the Seven Star Tower, there should be no problem, right?” Wen Sha looked at one of the Golden Core cultivators.

“Sect Leader, please rest assured. I will definitely handle this matter well,” the Xu Elder guaranteed, his gaze firm.

“Good. I entrust this entirely to you. Also, investigate the transaction situation between the Qingyun Sect and the Seven Star Tower while you’re at it,” Wen Sha said, a flash in his eyes.

“Understood.” The Xu Elder immediately understood Wen Sha’s meaning.

Sun Yi and the others were completely unaware that the Evil Spirit Valley and the Black Wind Stockade had already begun to act. Sun Yi’s proficiency in the Formation Dao was advancing rapidly. Over the next three days, Sun Yi’s Formation Dao reached the second rank. He could now deploy and dismantle second-rank Formations. Third-rank Formations were slightly more difficult.

However, today Sun Yi halted his Formation research because there was a very important matter to handle.

Inside the cultivation chamber of the main peak, Sun Yi and the five Elders were all gathered. Today, Elder Jin Jue and Elder Qin Chu would open the Five Gates.

The two of them now had expressions full of anticipation and anxiety.

“Do not worry, it will be fine,” Sun Yi said with a comforting smile.

“I’ll go first,” Elder Jin Jue said directly. The others did not argue with him.

“Good, begin the preparations.”

Sun Yi nodded, then had Elder Jin Jue sit in the center of the cultivation chamber. Sun Yi and the other four surrounded Elder Jin Jue.

Sun Yi placed his hand on Elder Jin Jue’s shoulder. He injected his Divine Sense and True Qi into Elder Jin Jue’s body. He wanted to carefully observe the situation of Elder Jin Jue opening the Five Gates.

Elder Jin Jue took a deep breath. Then, following the method Sun Yi taught, he directly swallowed a large mass of material refined from within the Mi Luo Beast.

After this large mass was swallowed by Elder Jin Jue, it was enveloped by True Qi and directly moved to his right lung, after which the refinement began.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Sun Yi discovered that because Elder Jin Jue’s cultivation was higher, making the material from the Mi Luo Beast fuse with his own body was actually very difficult.

Qi Refining cultivators refining and fusing this material were far from having this much difficulty. Sun Yi found that the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the greater the repulsive force against this material.

The repulsive force generated within Elder Jin Jue’s body was already not small. If a Nascent Soul cultivator wanted to fuse the material from the Mi Luo Beast, who knows how much repulsive force would be generated.

Finally managing to make this mass fuse with his right lung, perfectly combining, Elder Jin Jue began the next step, injecting his True Qi into it.

This process of True Qi injection was somewhat different from when Sun Yi opened the Gold Gate. It was clearly much slower, and there was also a hindering force.

However, after two days, Elder Jin Jue still successfully completely injected his True Qi into this mass, meeting the requirement to open the Gold Gate.

“Final step, pay attention!”

Sun Yi’s gaze sharpened, his spirit concentrated. Elder Jin Jue took a deep breath and, following the method, detonated the True Qi within the mass in his right lung.

In an instant, a powerful force erupted within Elder Jin Jue’s right lung, instantly spreading out in all directions.

Elder Jin Jue was the first to grunt, his face suddenly turning as pale as paper. This powerful impact force was too strong. Even though his physical body had now reached the third rank, he still couldn’t quite withstand it.

The violent force caused cracks to appear in Elder Jin Jue’s right lung. Although the Dantian had formed, it was clearly somewhat damaged.

“Quickly take the Vitality Pill!”

Sun Yi hurriedly gave Elder Jin Jue a Vitality Pill to take. The next moment, the medicinal power of the Vitality Pill erupted within Elder Jin Jue’s body with a vast surge of vitality, beginning to nourish Elder Jin Jue’s damaged body.

At the same time, Elder Jin Jue was also using all his strength to suppress the violent force erupting within him.

After a full five hours, this violent force gradually calmed down.

Sensing the change in power within Elder Jin Jue’s body, Sun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Opening a Dantian at the Golden Core stage was actually so dangerous. This was something he hadn’t anticipated before.

Qin Chu and the others watched Elder Jin Jue with worry. They couldn’t help with opening the Dantian.

Elder Jin Jue slowly opened his eyes. A faint smile appeared on his pale face.

“How is it?” Qin Chu and the others stared at Elder Jin Jue.

The corner of Elder Jin Jue’s mouth lifted slightly. “Although the process was somewhat turbulent, I finally managed to open the Gold Gate.”

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Seeing your appearance earlier gave me a fright. It looked like opening the Dantian was not easy for you. Did something go wrong somewhere?” Qin Chu asked curiously, looking at Elder Jin Jue.

Elder Jin Jue shook his head with a bitter smile. “I don’t know exactly what the problem was. Anyway, opening this Gold Gate was not simple at all.”

Just now he had desperately suppressed the force erupting within his body. Had he relaxed even a little, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

At this point, Sun Yi stepped forward to explain. “As cultivation increases, the body’s transformation becomes more thorough. Opening a new Dantian is about breaking the physical body and reshaping oneself. The difficulty is naturally very high.”

“Judging from the situation when Elder Jin Jue opened his Dantian, it’s likely that a Nascent Soul cultivator hoping to open a new Dantian has little hope.”

“Does that mean the Patriarch has no way to open a new Dantian?” Han Yun raised an eyebrow.

Sun Yi spread his hands, looking helpless. “There’s no way. A Nascent Soul cultivator’s body is transformed even more thoroughly. Trying to break the physical body and reshape it would inevitably encounter rejection from the body. For now, there should be no way to solve this problem.”

“Sigh, it seems we still have to open the Five Gates while our cultivation is low,” Han Yun sighed.

“Alright, let me test the newly opened Dantian first.”

Elder Jin Jue directly took out two metal-attribute High Grade Spirit Stones, then frantically absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the High Grade Spirit Stones to recover his True Qi.

An endless stream of metal-attribute Spiritual Qi poured into Elder Jin Jue’s body.

Sun Yi and the others waited patiently beside him. He also wanted to know if Elder Jin Jue, who hadn’t cultivated the Five Elements Art, would be different from himself after opening the Gold Gate.
