Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

And the Sword Cultivator from Da Xia Country who had reached the peak of the Golden Core cultivation never returned after delving into the Boundless Icefield.

"We're here,"

the scholar pointed deep into the Boundless Icefield, "The Inheritance Secret Realm is right at the edge of the Boundless Icefield. The temperature there isn't too low, and the light hasn't been completely devoured. It's considered a safe area with no dangers lurking."

"Hmm,"

Chen Qiu scanned the surroundings and nodded, "Let's set out."

The Spiritual Energy here also contained a bone-piercing cold, constantly rotating automatically. The Tao Foundation absorbing the Spiritual Energy gave him the illusion that his Dantian felt like it was about to freeze over.

Though uncertain whether he would be able to get through that Magic Practitioner inheritance,

he still had to take a look.

But he didn't hold much hope. Bai Yi, once the foremost Sword Cultivator in Da Xia, hadn't obtained the Sword Cultivator inheritance, so his chances of obtaining the Magic Practitioner inheritance weren't high.

...

"Qu Family Master,"

Inside the Qu Family Courtyard, Ji Taiping, dressed in white, sat on a Taishi Chair and apologetically said to the Qu Family Master, "Initially, I had secured the 'Ten Layers of Spellcasting' entry jade slip, but an unexpected incident occurred along the way resulting in the jade slip falling into someone else's hands."

"However, I've roughly identified who it is,"

"It's the hot topic Magic Practitioner from Fufeng City these days, Chen Qiu."

"But with sudden orders from the palace demanding my presence to quell the turmoil in the Hundred Countries, I'm a bit preoccupied to personally attend to this matter. It could trouble the Qu Family Master to take more care. Perhaps that youngster hasn't crushed the entry jade slip yet, hoping to sell it for a good price in the future."

"After all, for a Loose Cultivator, Spirit Stones are most important. To him, a hefty sum of Spirit Stones would indeed be more valuable than the 'Ten Layers of Spellcasting' entry."

"Naturally,"

The Qu Family Master, somewhat portly and cheerful, waved his hand for a servant to bring forth a tray, upon which lay a Storage Ring, "Since it concerns my son, I'll naturally take it to heart. Lord Sword Master, you just go and quell the chaos."

"I will remember this person,"

"Although the entry jade slip wasn't brought back, Lord Sword Master has also spent so much effort. Please don't refuse this little token of my appreciation,"

Seated on the Taishi Chair, Ji Taiping's Divine Sense swept over the Storage Ring, showing a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Without any pretense, he waved his sleeve to pocket the Storage Ring and then stood up to bow, "Then I'll thank the Qu Family Master."

"It's nothing,"

The Qu Family Master stood up and jovially escorted Ji Taiping to the gate of the Qu Family Mansion. After watching Ji Taiping leave, the Qu Family Master's smile faded to a calm expression as he turned to a servant, "How is the progress with Qu Qi?"

"The Heavenly Pride Leaderboard is about to start, hasn't he returned yet?"

"Reporting to the Family Master,"

said a person in black clothing softly, "According to the messages from the Boundless Icefield, the assessment conditions for the Magic Practitioner inheritance are too strict. The young master is already on his way back, planning to acquire the Magic Practitioner inheritance after the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard finishes."

"Hmm?"

The Qu Family Master's brows furrowed, "I've spent a significant amount of money to hire a Demon at the Golden Core Peak and even the Supreme Elder has left his retreat to escort. Accompanied by two Golden Core Peak cultivators, they couldn't secure a Magic Practitioner inheritance?"

"Hmm,"

the person in black lowered their head cautiously, "That Inheritance Secret Realm has existed for over a thousand years, and it's not something ordinary people can obtain. To date, none of the inheritances there have been taken away."

"The young master has already made rapid progress, clearing the first three levels. With another attempt after the Heavenly Pride Leaderboard, he will undoubtedly clear all the assessments and successfully obtain the Magic Practitioner inheritance."

"That's true,"

The Qu Family Master's tightly knit brows soon relaxed, and he chuckled with one hand behind his back, "Send word to have Qi Tian Restaurant in the Capital prepare several tables of fine food and wine to be sent to the mansion. When my son comes back, we'll have a good father-and-son talk."

"Also tell him, I have found another excellent entry that fits well with his Magic Practitioner path."

"At this Heavenly Pride Leaderboard, he must at least clinch a spot in the top three,"

Just then—

"Well, if it isn't the Qu Family Master,"

A middle-aged man in a long robe with red hair and a helpless expression stood at the door to the Qu Family Mansion and said to the Qu Family Master, "I was just about to send someone to notify you, but here you are. Perfect, I have something to discuss with you."

"Today is indeed a day of double happiness,"

The Qu Family Master cheerfully waved his hand, "Bring out the wine. I shall have a good drink with Sect Leader Qiu."

"No need for that,"

The grey-robed, red-haired, middle-aged man looked somewhat upset as he said hoarsely, "There's been a mishap. The nine Dragon Vein Stones you reserved were all ripe, but some thieves broke into the Forbidden Land of my 'Poison Sect' and took away all the Dragon Vein Stones, even the immature ones."

"..."

The smile on the Qu Family Master's face abruptly stiffened; after a moment of silence, he spoke calmly, "Sect Leader Qiu, surely you jest?"

"You're aware that Dragon Vein Stones are a top-tier material for crafting Magic Practitioner's treasures!"

"My Qu family has gathered all the top-tier materials across the world to forge an unparalleled Magic Practitioner treasure for my son. Those Dragon Vein Stones were key."

"And now you're telling me they're all gone?"

"With you overseeing the Poison Sect, is your Forbidden Land someplace that people can just barge into?"

"Or are you implying that someone paid more than I did, or perhaps you no longer wish to sell?"

"Not at all,"

Sect Leader Qiu heaved a sigh of resignation, "To put it nicely, I, Qiu, am always as good as my word; to put it bluntly, there is no one in Da Xia who can offer a higher price than your Qu family."
