Chapter 1884: Tempering Experience

Lu Qingchuan nodded, "Alright, their cultivation is higher than ours."

The eleven brothers have already discussed it and want to stay together to earn Spirit Stones. The older ones aren’t comfortable letting the younger ones go, so they aim to adapt before separating.

The six younger brothers also understand their intentions. So they plan to try hard to adapt.

"We need to prepare a Flying Boat, I’m thinking of traveling all around the Starry Realm," Gu Zechen said with a smile.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking too."

"Then let’s deal with all the High-level Demon Beasts here; maybe we can also find a Spirit Stone Mine."

"We don’t even have Storage Bags," Yongfu said.

The brothers were stopped in their tracks, realizing they really didn’t have anything.

"It’s alright. We should first hunt Demon Beasts. Once we take them back, we’ll have everything."

Gu Ersheng’s Divine Sense focused on the children, observing their actions and hearing their words. He thought, "If their mother knew what you’re doing to them, she’d definitely scold you. When you went through trials, everything was prepared for you."

"Hmm, it’s okay. They can handle it."

Listening to his wife’s words, Gu Ersheng understood that she had forgotten.

Forget it, this way they can truly become independent.

The brothers’ movement technique is the Tan Family Body Technique, which can be used even without Spiritual Power or immortal power.

Five days later, they arrived at Daze Mountain. The brothers were a bit excited. This was their first experience of training independently from the elders.

Although they had many shortcomings, they were truly growing through their experiences, which was the most precious aspect.

The demon beasts were uninterested due to the low grade, and there was no way to deal with them effectively. Even so, each brother took one beast back without Storage Bags.

They hadn’t been through this before—they just needed to collect the valuable ones and take them back.

At Daze Mountain, there were several Seventh Rank Demon Beasts and one Eighth Rank.

Demon Beasts have a stronger sense in this regard than humans. Even though the brothers used Spiritual Power, the beasts could still sense something was different.

Especially the Eighth Rank Demon Beast, which had developed intelligence.

When Jing Yu found it, it instinctively handed over all its Storage Bags and Storage Rings.

The brothers were delighted. Collecting more was now no problem.

"Master, please spare me. Training to the Eighth Rank has not been easy and I have never actively harmed humans."

Jing Yu nodded, "Alright, you must be aiming for Ascension. Excessive slaughter won’t help you."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, master," Gale Tiger said quickly as it left. It’d better hurry and leave; angering these individuals could get troublesome.

The brothers started distributing the Storage Rings—there were quite a few. Each person got three, plus over a dozen Storage Bags full of items they didn’t recognize.

But it didn’t matter; they would just ask at the Treasure Pavilion when they got back.

"Second Brother. Should we stop hunting demon beasts? Low-level demon beasts aren’t valuable."

"Yes. Only kill the overly aggressive ones; letting those like Gale Tiger go doesn’t matter."

The younger brothers had no objections. When they encountered Earth Wolves, they attacked first.

What was there to worry about? It was a perfect opportunity for training.

Their swordsmanship, being family-taught, was naturally effective. Even for Fourth and Fifth Rank beasts, it wasn’t an issue, nor was it for the six younger ones. They relied solely on swordsmanship, not Spiritual Power.

Gu Ersheng said to Qi Wen, "The effects of Second Brother’s medicinal bath are showing."

"Of course."

Qi Wen laughed, watching as they sweated.

The brothers didn’t spare a single Earth Wolf; they slaughtered them all. They had changed; they weren’t merely Immortals with power but lacking the fierceness anymore.

Qi Wen nodded in satisfaction. "Looks like my Divine Brush was indeed useful."

Gu Ersheng laughed on the side.

All the Earth Wolves were collected; now the eleven brothers weren’t in a rush to leave—this feeling of exertion was good.

They picked up Immortal Plants along the way, feeling like they were gathering everything of value.

Half a year later, the brothers finally descended from Daze Mountain, no longer needing to buy a Flying Boat—having acquired all the necessary equipment.

They paid Spirit Stones to enter the workshop, and the shop assistant at the Treasure Pavilion, seeing ten Storage Bags, said, "I’m not qualified for this. Please follow me; I’ll get our Steward to assist."

The Steward, upon seeing ten Storage Bags, greeted them with a respectful smile.

In the end, they received fifty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

While sorting through the Storage Rings and Storage Bags, they collected quite a few Spirit Stones and learned a bit about their grading.

But they still didn’t understand the pricing. Though they accepted what was offered without arguing, they planned that if cheated, they’d return to settle it later. Being taken advantage of was not an option.

After dividing the Spirit Stones, the brothers left Xuantian Sect’s workshop, this time separating, with the three youngest together.

Originally, Jing Yu wanted to accompany them, but the three youngest refused. They didn’t want to rely on others; besides, their cultivation was equivalent to Profound Immortals.

Ultimately, Jing Yu agreed. There was nothing to advise them on—they hadn’t experienced much yet; it was time for them to explore.

The youngest three were excited on their Flying Boat, "Cousin, I feel like I’m gaining independence."

Yongfu laughed, "Weren’t you independent before?"

"In the past, I couldn’t help but rely on the elders; even at Daze Mountain, I unintentionally depended on Second Brother and the others."

Yongkang nodded, having the same feeling.

"Now it’s just us three. We’ll discuss and handle things together."

Hearing the children, Gu Ersheng and Qi Wen felt somewhat failed.

"Have we pampered them too much?"

"When they return, they can venture out on their own."

Qi Wen agreed, "That would be best—less worrying about them. It’s good to let them adapt independently now."

The couple constantly kept an eye on the children.

"Outside the Array, Sun Qizheng and Liu Xiaozhu’s wife and children were waiting."

Qi Wen noticed too. However, the individual was too clingy, making it hard to get away.

The couple left the Array, having made them wait for over half a year—feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Liuyue and Xu Ying, upon seeing Qi Wen, were amazed.

"I didn’t expect to see you again in this life."

"Haha, indeed. I didn’t imagine returning either," Qi Wen said, noticing their cultivation as Divinity Transformation Cultivators, having little possibility to advance further.

"Please sit. Liu Haorui and Sun Xuping’s cultivations are lacking."

They started bowing, but Qi Wen stopped them.

"We are truly ashamed."

"No problem; location doesn’t matter. Your fathers are fine, and now in the Upper Realm, the Xuantian Sect is there; they need not worry."

They were relieved. Since their fathers ascended to different realms with no news, it was naturally worrisome. Now with information, their anxiety lifted.
