Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

"That's good. Today the Sect will provide you with two sets of Disciple clothes, so you can change and wash them tomorrow. I still need to go to Yijian Peak to check on the situation with my Flying Sword."

"Additionally, as the top performer in this assessment, you would normally receive extra resource rewards. Someone from Upper Cloud Peak should deliver them to you later. Spirit Stones are really valuable, so make sure you don't misuse them!" Su Yu instructed.

"Okay..."

"I'll be heading out now."

"Okay..."

"Oh, right, Outer Peak Disciples who have just joined do not have any Sect tasks for the first three months. Each month, you will receive a fixed supply of Spirit Stones and Elixirs. But after three months, there will be certain Sect tasks. If they're not completed, your supply will be reduced, and there will be a punishment. During this time, you should focus on practicing those three basic Cultivation Methods. None of the Sect tasks should be too difficult."

"No problem..."

"Alright then, I'm off..."

"Okay."

"Wait, there's one more thing! If Outer Peak Disciples want to borrow from our mountain's spirit spring, there's a fee! This is the only source of Spirit Stone income for our Heavenly Sword Peak."

"..."

After a series of miscellaneous instructions from Su Yu, Wang Mu remained sitting in place, his body trembling slightly.

He only relaxed after Su Yu finally left.

"..."

Wang Mu let out a breath, his body flushed red from holding it in. "This Cultivation Technique is not easy to practice at all!"

He remained in this state until the evening. Throughout the day, countless mentors appeared in his mind like Heavenly Demons, imparting various knowledge to him directly.

「Until night fell.」

The quiet moon rose like a grinding stone. Beneath the Cloud Sea, Wang Mu sat alone on the mountaintop, sensing that unique energy as moonlight sprinkled down, shooting back into his body.

His scorching body began to cool down. The cold energy dissipated the heat within him. The Yin and Yang in his body harmonized, like two rays of light constantly flickering over him before everything finally settled into calmness.

"PHEW..."

"Looks like the Cultivation was successful."

"The first Cultivation is indeed the hardest."

Wang Mu checked his condition.

[Cultivation: Great Yin Yang Joyful Map (1)]

"I've at least got a simple grasp on it."

This special Cultivation Technique is considered an auxiliary cultivation method, intended primarily for strengthening the foundation and nourishing the yuan, and fortifying the essence to enhance the body.

As for its effects… Wang Mu hesitated for a moment. The Yin Yang Qi within his body was as thin as silver threads. When moving within him in harmony with the principles of nature, it allowed his body to undertake a unique operation. In terms of certain controls, it did indeed seem to be stronger.

After all, he managed to hold it in for the entire day.

According to the Cultivation Technique, the first practice is the hardest. Due to the time difference, if Yin and Yang Qi cannot be introduced into the body simultaneously, it could lead to a disruption in bodily functions. Those without strong willpower could end up controlled by the Supreme Yang Qi and become something unspeakable. But once you succeed the first time, there are no other hidden dangers, and its uses are endless.

"This technique only has the upper half, without a clear indication of the number of layers... I wonder what the highest level is?"

Of course, Wang Mu wasn't too concerned about that. Because at this moment, he perceived that the Hundred Refinement Body Technique was ready for another session of practice.

[Cultivation: Hundred Refinement Body Technique (80+)]

The "+" means that action points can be used.

"As I thought, it's already possible to begin opening Spiritual Acupoints."

"No rush right now. Let's wait until the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map reaches a higher level and there is more Yin Yang Qi in my body. I can open several Spiritual Acupoints in one go, which will greatly speed up my Cultivation."

"For the next month, I'll steadily practice the Great Yin Yang Joyful Map."

"With the remaining two action points, let's trigger the Travel function..."

「Having been hungry all day, Wang Mu returned to his bamboo house.」

Disciples below the Foundation Establishment Realm need to eat. After Foundation Establishment, they naturally do not require food. Fortunately, the food from the Sword Sect can be replaced by consuming a single Hundred Food Pill, which will spare the need to eat for several days. This thing, similar to a compressed biscuit, is concocted by the disciples of Alcohol Sword Peak using offcuts from Spirit Plants. It contains various flavors and is both good and cheap, with more than ten obtainable for just one Spirit Stone.

"This stuff is alright to eat, but it lacks a bit of worldly flavor."

Wang Mu still missed Aunt Hong's cooking skills a little.

As he was hoping, two Inner Peak disciples from Upper Cloud Peak arrived, delivering the Cultivation resources for new disciples as well as the rewards for the assessment.

New disciples received five Spirit Stones, five Basic Spirit Pills, and five God Storing Pills every month. These were Elixirs for Cultivation or for enhancing spirituality. This welfare lasted for three months, after which one had to complete Sect tasks to receive more.

It's pretty good, Wang Mu thought. With these resources, in three months' time, while it was hard to say how far the three Cultivation Methods could be practiced, at least reaching the entry-level was achievable. The Upper Heaven Energy Introduction Technique only needed to be cultivated to the Ninth Layer, corresponding to Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. This should be achievable within three months, even for those with poorer aptitude—at least one layer could be accomplished. The main Cultivation Technique wasn't too difficult at the outset. It was the two auxiliary cultivation methods that were rather difficult to even get started with.

Compared to standard allocations, the rewards from the assessment were quite substantial, amounting to ten times the monthly standard. They directly gave fifty Spirit Stones and also provided a space Magic Artifact essential for Cultivation: a storage bag, along with a special Soul Cleansing Pill.

"However, the quality of this Bone Refining Pill seems a bit inferior compared to the one Yan Qingwu gave me before," Wang Mu mused, somewhat surprised. The two Body Refining Pills Yan Qingwu had given him previously were still somewhat useful to him at the time. But this one, judging by its appearance, seemed inferior in quality. The storage bag was also a bit smaller than his own Space Bracelet.

"Still, having something is better than nothing."

"Doing well in the entrance assessment means good rewards. Just by starting off, I'm already ahead of others." Wang Mu nodded repeatedly.

With these resources, a disciple with an outstanding Spirit Root would probably be soaring right on the spot. Of course, most disciples with exceptional talent don't really want to rely on Elixirs for Cultivation. The Spiritual Energy from Elixirs, compared to that absorbed through self-Cultivation, is always going to be slightly inferior. It's not a big deal in the early stages, but when it comes to Foundation Establishment, the more Elixirs consumed, the lower the probability of success. Of course, the great thing about Elixirs is that it doesn't matter if the probability is low; there's the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although it's also an Elixir, it can aid in Foundation Establishment. So, as long as you're wealthy, constantly consuming pills can also lead to achievements...

"Well, let's take a look at the Travel event... hmm..."

All six Sword Peaks had Travel events. Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds and, following his interests, chose Alcohol Sword Peak.

[Travel: Alcohol Sword Peak (Wine Immortal Pavilion, Night, Ten Days)]

"This Travel event will disappear after ten days..."

After some thought, Wang Mu decided there's no time like the present. I'll set off immediately!

Sword Peak Disciples are allowed to visit other Sword Peaks. However, certain areas within a Sword Peak are not open to disciples from other peaks. For example, the back mountain of Heavenly Sword Peak is off-limits to Outer Peak Disciples as there are spirit springs there. Disciples from other peaks are free to visit the rest of the places.

Thinking this, Wang Mu glanced at the evening sky. It seems like a good time to journey. He simply walked to the Transmission Platform to summon a Sword Crane, rewarding it with a Little Flame Fruit. This was left by Senior Brother Su Yu. There were more than a dozen in the bamboo house, used for daily Sect travels. The Sword Crane was fast. Under the night sky, one could occasionally see other Outer Disciples riding Sword Cranes, coming and going through the Cloud Sea.

「Soon, he arrived at Alcohol Sword Peak.」

As soon as he landed on the Transmission Platform, Wang Mu smelled a faint fragrance of wine, which instantly tantalized him.

I wonder if a sip of wine in this Immortal World would make one forget the mundane world, he thought.

"What a great place!" Wang Mu couldn't help but exclaim.

"HALT!"

Stepping off the Transmission Platform, he was approached by two guardian disciples.

Wang Mu hurriedly said, "I'm Wang Mu, a newly accepted disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak. I've just entered the Sect and wish to see the grandeur of other Sword Peaks..."

Damn, even Alcohol Sword Peak has guardian disciples, he thought. Heavenly Sword Peak is just bare, lacking everything.

"Oh!" The two disciples realized and said with a slight smile, "You may, but you cannot freely enter Alcohol Sword Peak's Ten Directions Blue Field, nor the Storage Wine Cellar, and the Brewing Pavilion. The main peak's great hall is closed at night. If you want to visit the Disciple Residential Hall and have friends there, you can call them out."

"You are free to visit other places, such as our Alcohol Sword Peak's Wine Immortal Pavilion or Drunken Sword Cliff..."

"I'd like to take a look at the Wine Immortal Pavilion..."

The two disciples warmly showed Wang Mu the way.

It seems the disciples of Alcohol Sword Peak are very warm and hospitable, Wang Mu thought. Are most people who enjoy wine like this?

Following the directions given by the two disciples, Wang Mu passed through layers of mountain woods and courtyards to arrive at the Wine Immortal Pavilion. The pavilion was quite large. It was a spot where one could sit and gaze at the mysterious moon, with the Cloud Sea rolling in the distance—a truly scenic view. Wang Mu looked around and suddenly saw a man with disheveled hair in front of him. He was sitting in the pavilion, lifting a jug of fine wine and gulping it down incessantly. The fragrance of the wine was very strong; just the aroma made Wang Mu feel slightly drunk.

What kind of potent wine is this? Wang Mu thought to himself. It seems this must be the Travel event of Alcohol Sword Peak. This man... he seems to have the air of an expert about him?
