Chapter 155: 119. The Secret of Immortal Fate, Fate Deduction in Immortal Fate (6K Big Chapter, Ask for Monthly Ticket)_4
He had never been so tired when handling Internal Affairs at Mount Siming.
I should head to the Lu Shi Pavilion; it’s about time I changed my Cave Mansion.
Xu Xing shook his head, discarding the random thoughts in his mind one by one and keeping his inner peace. He reignited his motivation, mustered his Magic Power, and rushed towards the Lu Shi Pavilion.
He arrived in no time.
"Junior Brother Xu, have you...successfully built your Immortal Foundation?"
Initially, Xu Xing was not received by Jiang Yan, but by another young Female Cultivator. However, upon hearing the name "Xu Xing," she didn’t hesitate and immediately used a voice transmission talisman to inform Jiang Yan, requesting him to handle Xu Xing’s matters.
Fortunately, Jiang Yan arrived quickly, not delaying Xu Xing too much.
"I succeeded Seven Days Ago."
"It’s just that I delayed exiting seclusion to consolidate my Cultivation..."
Xu Xing was invited into an inner room of the Lu Shi Pavilion. He and Jiang Yan sat at the same Eight Immortals Table. After they exchanged cups and drank some Pear Blossom Immortal Brew, they began to discuss official matters.
"Junior Brother, you are a second-class reserve for the True Lineage..."
"Although your public identity hasn’t been revealed, in secret, the Sect’s supply of Resources is handled according to your corresponding status. Moreover, Junior Brother, you’ve established a Flawless Immortal Foundation..."
"Regarding the Cave Mansion, the specifications should be upgraded."
After clinking glasses with Xu Xing, Jiang Yan smiled. "Though I am not exceptionally talented, I have served in the Lu Shi Pavilion for decades. I can assist Junior Brother Xu with the allocation of Cave Mansions."
"Junior Brother chose *The Eternal Green Dao Sutra*. Within the Immortal Sect’s territory, there is Biyuan Mountain, about three thousand miles from the Immortal Palace. That mountain is rich in Spiritual Energy, and the earth and wood elements are abundant, making it most suitable for cultivating *The Eternal Green Dao Sutra*..."
"Biyuan Mountain is a Xuanjing Abode!"
His tone became much more serious with this last sentence.
The Cave Mansions used by Cultivators are roughly divided into five types: Cave, Blessed Land, Jade Palace, Xuanjing, and Dan Lu. Within these five types, there are four grades: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.
Outer Sect Disciples live only in the outer courtyards, such as the Sea Waterlight Court.
Inner Sect Disciples, on the other hand, are generally assigned to a Dan Lu. These are situated on the various Inner Sect Peaks. Although more spacious than Outer Sect dwellings, a Dan Lu provides Spiritual Energy sufficient only for Cultivation up to the Immortal Foundation Sixth Layer. Anything more requires external Resources.
Dan Lu, as the name suggests, gathers external Spiritual Energy, refines it into pill-like essence, and fills the Cultivation Room.
Most Inner Sect Disciples are assigned Bing-grade Dan Lu, which provide Spiritual Energy only for up to the Immortal Foundation Third Layer.
Immortal Geniuses are eligible for Jia or Yi-grade ones.
Xuanjing Abodes are undoubtedly of a much higher level.
They can provide the Spiritual Energy required for the Immortal Foundation Late Three Stages.
Xuanjing Abodes are typically only available for application by Inner Sect Disciples in the Late Immortal Foundation Stage. If an Inner Sect Disciple in the Early Immortal Foundation Stage were to enter a Xuanjing Abode, it would be like gaining a massive advantage in the initial phase of their Cultivation journey.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."
"I just wonder, regarding the friends Senior Brother Jiang mentioned meeting, when will that be? Junior Brother is quite eager."
Xu Xing’s heart stirred; he accepted this favor.
Simultaneously, he changed the subject, bringing up the matter he had discussed with Jiang Yan during their first meeting.
Meeting friends... the implication was clear. He wanted to join Jiang Yan’s circle, to share the same boat and pursue mutual benefits in the future.
"In a few more days..."
"They are still stationed in Other Places and will only return to the Sect to report on their duties in a few days."
"When the time comes, I will inform you."
Just from these few sentences, Jiang Yan knew Xu Xing was intelligent and hadn’t easily fallen into his "trap."
Although he had used his authority to benefit Xu Xing in this matter, everything was done according to the Sect’s regulations. It didn’t entail a significant risk.
Of course, without the help and reminders from insiders like them, ordinary Inner Sect Disciples would find it impossible to discover these hidden benefits. Such advantages were often buried within convoluted official documents.
However, Jiang Yan wasn’t concerned about this. After this brief verbal exchange, his estimation of Xu Xing rose another notch.
He could recoup his "loss" from today through Xu Xing’s official power in the future.
This was why people like them formed small circles. It was, simply put, for the exchange of power! Today, he used his authority to secure a Xuanjing Abode for Xu Xing. In the future, when Xu Xing held a position in the Sect, he could, in turn, help him or others within their small circle obtain certain advantages.
