Walking down the street, Ji Yuan’s brow furrowed slightly.
He suddenly realized that some of the actions of the Jiu Xuan Sect seemed somewhat strange.
Sects like the Shen Xuan Sect had their own industries in all four prefectures of Chong Yuan Prefecture, with their influence spread far and wide.
Even the Ming Xin Xuan, although it mainly developed in Luo Xia Prefecture.
It also had many industries distributed in other prefectures, primarily aimed at networking and expanding its trade routes.
In contrast, the Jiu Xuan Sect was solely focused on remaining within Fei Yun Prefecture.
Although its fame spread throughout all prefectures of Ling Yang Prefecture, the other three prefectures had no industries.
If it were usual times, Ji Yuan would not have taken it seriously even if he noticed it.
After all, every sect had different choices, and there was no reason why one had to operate industries elsewhere.
It was only after experiencing the Jade Clan's Jue Xian Valley, the conversation between the Shen Dao avatar and the Fu Yuan River Zheng God.
And the words of Elder Hong Tian about the deeds of the founder of the Xuan Tian lineage.
That he could not help but feel a strong sense of doubt about these matters.
"No, with the strength of the Jiu Xuan Sect, they cannot protect the Xuan Tian Guan from a great cultivator!"
Ji Yuan’s eyes flashed, and various thoughts arose in his mind.
Although the Jiu Xuan Sect was powerful, a dominant sect in a prefecture, with as many as nine Golden Core Great Cultivators guarding it.
But this strength alone was not enough to protect anyone or anything from a great cultivator.
Furthermore, why could the independently established Xuan Tian Guan produce five great cultivators?
Instead, why had the Jiu Xuan Sect, with its nine lineages, not had a great cultivator in nearly a thousand years?
Ji Yuan was no longer a novice cultivator who had just entered the path. He had learned enough secrets.
Among them were the requirements for aspiring to become a great cultivator.
Any cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage who wanted to take that final leap would inevitably encounter several obstacles.
The first was to master complete Dao principles; the more one possessed, the greater the possibility of breaking through.
The second was to possess strong fortune, which was also one of the reasons why cultivators at higher realms would form their own factions.
It was not only for the convenience of their own cultivation but also for the fortune required for breakthroughs.
The third was the need to possess a powerful magic treasure that could carry one's own Great Dao.
And no matter which condition it was, with the Jiu Xuan Sect's foundation, they could completely achieve it. Kuaishu Ge.
Yet, even so, no great cultivator had emerged.
Instead, they had to rely on the feedback from the sublimation of other extreme realms when their sect was promoted to a宗门, to possibly break through the limitations.
In contrast, other sects produced great cultivators first, and then their sects were promoted to宗门!
"There are indeed many secrets behind this!"
Ji Yuan muttered to himself.
At the same time, he realized that if he could not successfully form a Golden Core and was only at the third realm, he would not be able to grasp the truth of the secrets.
No!
If one cultivated an anomalous phenomenon, condensed the three flowers above their head, and reached the late stage or even peak of cultivation, a prodigy.
They should have some qualifications to come into contact with those hidden truths.
However, achieving this step was unimaginably difficult.
Even with Ji Yuan's talent, he could not say for sure that he could definitely do it. He was currently only working in this direction.
Even whether he could successfully condense a Golden Core as a contemporary prodigy was still unknown.
After some contemplation, everyone finally arrived outside the Qian family's mansion.
After revealing their identities, the group was led into the Qian family and settled in a courtyard in the backyard.
For the Qian family, Ji Yuan was considered an old acquaintance. Although he had been away for many years, they still remembered him.
After all, many of the Qian family's stewards had some cultivation.
"Young Master, please rest. The master will come immediately after receiving the news."
The old butler said with a smile and then quietly withdrew from the courtyard.
Before long, maids entered, bringing new clothes and a sumptuous meal.
These foods were imbued with rich spiritual energy and no impurities.
A single meal was worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver, which the members of the Jiu Xuan Sect rarely enjoyed.
However, for Ji Yuan, these were somewhat ordinary. With his current wealth and influence, he usually ate better.
"Is the Xuan Tian Peak so rich now?"
Zhao Yuan Song's eyebrows twitched.
Before he disappeared, the Xuan Tian Peak could barely maintain its daily expenses and lived a life worse than ordinary inner disciples.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, there had been earth-shattering changes.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan smiled and roughly explained his current forces and the situation of the Xuan Tian Peak.
After the Song family of Fei Yun Prefecture joined, especially under the fame of a master of talisman arts.
Coupled with the various elixirs of the Xuan Tian lineage, the Xuan Tian Guan undoubtedly became his most powerful force.
Although its scale and strength were only considered second or third-rate in the prefecture city of Fei Yun Prefecture, the wealth it controlled was comparable to first-rate forces.
Furthermore, cooperating with the branch of the Ming Xin Xuan in Fei Yun Prefecture resulted in a continuous stream of wealth flowing into his coffers daily.
As for the Water God Temple, although its wealth was not much and the number of experts was relatively small.
Its influence far surpassed that of the Xuan Tian Guan today.
There was no need to mention the five counties; it had expanded to the surrounding several counties.
Even deities with lower divine ranks, or even without divine authority, had bowed to the Water God Temple.
The Xuan Tian Peak, with the assistance of the two forces, had also developed many industries. The Xuan Tian Cheng Lu Dan refined by the disciples in the peak had reached a state of short supply.
"When we return this time, you will be promoted to inner disciple."
After a stick of incense, Ji Yuan, after briefly introducing his forces, said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan Song understood what the other party meant.
Without hesitation, he agreed.
Anyway, having obtained the inheritance of Daoist Chi Xin, it made no difference to him which peak he joined.
Although the peaks that had been passed down for hundreds of years had stronger foundations and cultivation sacred sites.
They also had intense competition, with numerous disciples vying for resources, which was not as good as the current Xuan Tian Peak.
After all, even after several expansions, the current Xuan Tian Peak only had dozens of disciples.
Most of them were still outer disciples, with only a little more than ten inner disciples.
"In a while, I plan to refine another Creation Spirit Spring."
Ji Yuan said with a smile. "Then you can all go in and enjoy it."
The miraculous effects of the Creation Spirit Spring were known to everyone in the Jiu Xuan Sect. A group of genius disciples had already entered it.
Everyone who came out had undergone earth-shattering changes.
At the same time, he proposed that in addition to the complete Creation Spirit Spring, he would also create some weakened versions.
These would be supplied to outer disciples with contributions, as well as cultivators from the Xuan Tian Guan and the Water God Temple.
