In my twilight years of cultivating, I became a Supreme Daoist of the Longevity Path Chapter 161

Chapter 161: 94~95: The road of heroes is as iron, even now start the journey once again (Two-in-one big chapter request subscription)_1 Chapter 161: 94~95: The road of heroes is as iron, even now start the journey once again (Two-in-one big chapter request subscription)_1 A re loose cultivator, yet possessed a high-grade antagonist spiritual root, and had not even joined any cultivation families.

Reliant only on his own efforts, he had cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Cultivation and had even begun attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishnt stage.

When Li Rong shared this news with his cousin Li Yue, Li Yue found it hard to believe.

A high-grade antagonist spiritual root is not a true high-grade spiritual root.

The term “antagonist” implied a world of difference, only having the cultivation speed of a mid-grade spiritual root, which is ten tis slower than a high-grade spiritual root.

With a mid-grade spiritual root’s cultivation speed, one could potentially reach the tenth level of Qi Cultivation approaching the Foundation Establishnt stage by the age of forty.

However, this would require exceedingly smooth progression, with a brief obstruction during the bottleneck ti within every minor realm.

...

But what sort of circumstances does a loose cultivator face?

Those who have experienced it know: They often lead a nomadic life, and they could suffer many injuries for the sake of acquiring a low-grade Spirit Stone.

Surpassing these challenges to reach the tenth level of Qi Cultivation and standing on the brink of the Foundation Establishnt stage — all on his own?

It’s not impossible.

But the chances are too slim, too difficult.

Ordinary people simply could not achieve this.

Therefore, such a person is certainly peculiar, his origins unclear, and possibly problematic.

Despite this, under Li Rong’s plea, Li Yue was sowhat swayed.

Li Yue was quite clear about his younger brother’s character — cautious, timid, sowhat proud, but most importantly, his younger brother was clear-headed.

Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t bother him.

In the past, many people have tried to take advantage of the relationship between Li Rong and him to gain the backdoor entrance into the Changchun Sect, only for Li Rong to reject them outright.

There were two tis when he had hinted that he could give them a little assistance.

It wasn’t a difficult matter; he could earn a small fortune for his brother, Li Rong, in this regard.

It should have been a win-win situation.

The people who ca looking for help usually had so capabilities; they might just scrape by the admission requirents but were at risk of being rejected.

For these people, all he needed to do was lift a finger, and they would naturally pass with ease.

However, Li Rong didn’t want to inconvenience him and had turned down these opportunities multiple tis.

Now, for the first ti, Li Rong was pleading for soone else’s sake.

This made Li Yue worried that Li Rong might be deceived, but it also brought unexpected joy.

His youngest brother had finally beco enlightened, and now, Li Yue felt a keen interest in Gao Hu.

“Cousin, what do you say, shall we et with this Friend Gao?”

“I think Friend Gao is reliable.

If he builds his Foundation Establishnt in the future, it would be a favor if you assist him today.”

At the bamboo pavilion under Changchun Mountain, Li Rong poured a cup of tea for another grey-robed cultivator who bore a striking resemblance to him.

“But, Cousin, if you find it difficult, don’t force yourself.

I wouldn’t have bothered you if this person wasn’t special.”

Li Yue gave Li Rong a deep look, give a laugh and shook his head, “What difficulty can there be?”

“Our Changchun Sect is not a great sect.

We are rely a minor sect under the Longevity Sect.

What could possibly attract people?”

“Moreover, even if he is a Golden Core cultivator, would he dare to be presumptuous to our Changchun Sect?”

Li Rong was taken aback.

When he heard this, it made sense.

Firstly, the Changchun Sect was too small.

Even if Friend Gao was a spy from another power, who would deliberately plant such an excellent yet troubleso character over, wouldn’t that be contradictory?

What was there to gain?

The Changchun Sect didn’t have the Longevity Sect’s Fundantal Law, only side branches.

Secondly, the Changchun Sect might be small, but the Longevity Sect backing it was enormous.

Even if Friend Gao was fleeing hardship or had so grudges, wouldn’t it only pose a small threat to the Changchun Sect, even if he were a Golden Core cultivator?

“As long as he doesn’t cause trouble when he joins, recruiting soone like him would be a ritorious deed for .”

Li Yue slowly blew on the tea leaves in his cup and said leisurely, “Now the problem is, how to deal with his background issue.

If he joins without it being dealt with, it would certainly be a hassle, especially because this person…is too impressive.”

Li Rong’s complexion slightly changed, “How can we deal with it?

The information about his background has already been provided to the disciples of the Longevity Sect by his Route Guide.”

Li Yue gave a mysterious smile, “I have my ways.”

Li Rong suddenly understood and felt that his cousin must have often…

“This…

won’t affect you, will it?

If it’s risky, let’s forget it…”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine!

If it weren’t for you asking, I wouldn’t bother, no matter how impressive this person was.

He indeed is troubleso.

Sotis, being too impressive can be more of a hassle.

But it’s ok.”

“So…

when should I arrange for him to et with you?”

“There’s no need for that.

Let’s wait until he really joins.

I’ll handle it.”

…

Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the frosty spring began to lt into thawing warmth, the spring mountains took on a beautiful hue.

The landscape was lush and vibrant as the ice and snow lted away.

The Changchun Sect finally issued the routine announcent to recruit new disciples as they did every year.

One of those announcents was posted on the public notice board in Everjoy District, attracting many cultivators to gawk at the spectacle.

Many people had been waiting for this mont for a long ti.

For so, it brought joy, for others, sorrow.

“This year’s recruitnt condition is more strict.

They require candidates younger than twenty-three years old who have cultivated up to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation or people with mid-grade spiritual roots who are younger than forty years old.”

“I’m…

I’m twenty-four this year and thought that the threshold remains as the previous year’s standard – twenty-five years old.

I thought I could join…

why…”

“Sigh!

I’m already twenty-five, it’s harder for than it is for you.”
