Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

"That's not a problem."

Chen Qiu sat on the temple roof and shook his head. As long as there wouldn't be any lingering internal injuries, it was already good that he was alive after being attacked with full force by a Golden Core fourth layer great power. This pain was inconsequential.

He was just worried that if his Sea of Consciousness was damaged, it would lead to latent injuries that might prevent him from forming a tenth-grade Golden Core.

Then he would really feel like killing someone.

Now, this was completely acceptable. Fortunately, he hadn't chosen that "Unbearable Pain" entry which would have increased his sense of pain; otherwise, he might well have been in so much agony that he could have died from it.

He was also unwilling to linger, as it was a priority to quickly proceed to the "Star Battle Sect" to seek medicine.

After a pause, he looked down at the temple below, towards the shopkeeper who still hadn't recovered from the shock, and said hoarsely, "Shopkeeper, how about you stay somewhere else for a while, and I'll let you out after some time?"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he sucked the shopkeeper into the small world, and the shopkeeper did not resist.

...

Chao Tian Sect, within a clean disciple dormitory.

The shopkeeper appeared abruptly in this dormitory, still terrified. Before he could take a look around, he heard a familiar voice.

"Shopkeeper, you'll have to endure staying in this room for a while."

"After I've broken into the storage ring, I'll let you out."

"I appreciate your efforts, shopkeeper. You'll get double the compensation this time."

...

Just as Chen Qiu motioned for the scholar to prepare to head to the "Star Battle Sect," he was taken aback by the Golden Core Pill of the Poison Sect Master that the scholar had passed to him. The headache and dizziness that had plagued him suddenly eased, and he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"A second-grade Golden Core?"

"Yes." The scholar couldn't help but laugh too, "Brother Qiu, you can consider this a blessing in disguise. Second-grade Golden Cores are hard to come by; it's not often that one delivers itself to your doorstep."

"Indeed."

Chen Qiu nodded, took out a wooden box from his chest – he had many of those wooden boxes, each one was the box bestowed by the Heavenly Dao that contained the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills. He placed the second-grade Golden Core inside the wooden box and placed it in the small world's storage room.

Now he had three second-grade Golden Cores.

Just six more to go.

The progress towards nine second-grade Golden Cores was already one-third complete; considering this, Chen Qiu felt that being struck this time didn't seem like such a bad deal after all.

Then, he glanced over the scholar's Flying Sword, noticing several cracks on it, he frowned and said, "I remember that this Flying Sword is your Lifebound Spirit Treasure, right?"

"Yes."

The scholar nodded and then shook his head helplessly, "It's been damaged a bit. The Lifebound Spirit Treasure is closely linked to me; I've also been injured a bit, but it's not severe, and it's still usable. As long as it hasn't completely shattered, there's always a way to repair it in the future."

"So, are we setting off now, Brother Qiu?"

"Let's go."

...

When passing through Fufeng City, they placed the scholar's younger brother in Fufeng City.

The trio of Chen Qiu was on their way to seek pills at the "Star Battle Sect." In case of any emergencies, they could retreat quickly to Fufeng City using the Bloodline Entry between the scholar and his younger brother.

At the entrance of the Star Battle Sect's mountain gate.

"It shouldn't be too much trouble." Continue reading at empire

The scholar said in a low voice, "This Star Battle Sect has always had a good reputation, never once resorting to harming those who come to seek pills. The Pill Sect usually maintains neutrality, treating Evil Cultivation, Demon Cultivation, and righteous cultivators all the same."

"Hmm."

Chen Qiu nodded and looked at the mountain gate in front of him.

The Star Battle Sect was located atop a tall peak, with the sect's location at the summit of the mountain and the mountain gate built halfway up the slope. Two ten-zhang high stone pillars with strange patterns stood erect halfway up the slope, not enclosed at the top; this place was the mountain gate.

Anyone stepping onto Xing Dou's boundary from other places was considered to have hostile intentions.

At this moment, there were two Mountain Guarding Disciples at the gate sizing them up.

"Are you here to seek pills? Do you have any elder's recommendation in the form of a Spiritual Tablet?"

One of the Mountain Guarding Disciples with a square face looked at Chen Qiu and his group and asked sternly.

"No."

Chen Qiu shook his head softly and said, "No, we've heard that the Star Battle Sect's skill in pill refinement is unparalleled in the Northern State and have specifically come to seek pills."

He then waved his hand, and Fat Long, by his side, discreetly took out two storage bags each containing ten Spirit Stones from his chest and slipped them into the Mountain Guarding Disciples' arms without leaving a trace.

This place was already on the border with the Endless Desert.

Standing on the mountainside, one could see the endless desert in the distance, without an oasis, without springs, without hills, only the boundless expanse of the Endless Desert.

Even though it was the middle of winter.

Yet, for some reason, he could even feel the heatwave coming from the Endless Desert; it was a stark contrast to the Boundless Icefield, forming a complete opposite extreme.

...

"Cough."

The two gate-keeping disciples casually accepted the storage bags handed by Fat Long. One of them coughed lightly in his fist then said in a low voice, "Have you fellow daoists been deceived? Foundation Establishment pills can be bought in the market below, generally only Golden Core pills require you to come up the mountain to seek them."

"The pill we seek is the Golden Core pill 'Replenishing God Pill'."

"Replenishing God Pill?"

The gate-keeping disciple looked strangely at Chen Qiu and his group; what Foundation Establishment Cultivator would seek a Replenishing God Pill? It was a pill to repair Divine Sense damage, and Foundation Establishment Cultivators had no chance of Divine Sense damage. Only in a fight with a Golden Core Great Power could Divine Sense be harmed, and if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator suffered a Divine Sense Attack, they would've likely perished immediately.

But after some thought, they guessed that it must be an errand on behalf of some Golden Core Master behind them.

Without delay, they treated the matter seriously and said, "Please follow me."

Then, they flew towards the mountain's summit on their Flying Swords, with Chen Qiu and his companions following closely behind on their own Swords.
