What if he had been hit by Magic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of the giant crimson cloud from before was astonishing, leaving him still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had attacked him directly, even with all his trump cards and the Attribute Panel’s instant healing, he felt the likelihood of survival was still slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One cannot always rely on fortune; ultimately, one’s own strength must be formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Strength, my strength is still too weak.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Once I enter the Corpse-Driving Sect, I have to develop well and not act recklessly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Cultivation Realm is not like the martial arts world; there are too many powerful figures who could easily crush me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Cultivation must proceed, and Martial Arts cannot be abandoned. Both paths must be strong.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi silently made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a palm strike, he easily broke a thick branch nearby, roughly as thick as an arm, sharpened it with an axe, and began to dig a pit on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his strength and experience, he dug a large and deep pit in just a few dozen breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can first bury them here and then notify the families to come and take them, to prevent the corpses from being targeted by wild beasts,\" Lou Yi suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Peng looked at him in surprise and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lou Yi, ignoring the blood, helped transport the bodies of several deceased sect members into the pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the burial, Elder Peng waved his hand, and a yellow talisman paper was placed on the ground, then vanished, presumably to prevent wild beasts from digging up the pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned to the Broken Cloth Magical Artifact, everyone’s mood was heavy, and there was no longer any desire for conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Broken Cloth Magical Artifact flew several times faster than before, swiftly traveling at a low altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, Elder Peng feared complications, increased Mana output, and only wanted to bring the disciples back to the sect as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half a day later, everyone arrived at a foggy white area, where more than ten mountain peaks of varying heights were faintly visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Broken Cloth shot into the fog, and everyone felt a blur before arriving at the foot of a high peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain before them was over 1,500 feet high, lush with trees, where the clear calls of insects and birds continuously echoed, and the air was filled with a fragrant earthy smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the foot of the mountain stood a white stone stele about one zhang high, inscribed with three black characters: ’Guest Welcoming Peak.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi and the others had just stepped off the Broken Cloth Magical Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant wooden bird slowly descended onto a clearing nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden bird was over ten zhang long, made entirely from sections of original yellow wood, with joints engraved with complex black lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its pure black eyes were the size of watermelons, appearing to be made of stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On its back sat a group of young disciples, and ’creak, creak, creak,’ it quickly lowered its height, turning into a raised platform less than one zhang high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples jumped down from the platform one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Ghost Peng, how was the harvest this time?\" The red-robed elder in charge of escorting these disciples was short and plump, with a rosy complexion, and greeted Elder Peng with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not so good, a prodigious disciple was intercepted by that damned Red Sun Sect, and several others died,\" Elder Peng said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short, plump elder was shocked: \"How dare Red Sun Sect be so brazen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly realized: \"What Spirit Root did that disciple have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top-grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss...\" The short, plump elder gasped, \"Such a major event, have you reported it to the Sect Leader?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We didn’t catch anyone; they were well-prepared.\" Elder Peng’s tone was somewhat despondent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two each manipulated their Flying Magical Artifacts, ascended into the sky, and soon disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, under Guest Welcoming Peak, more and more new disciples gathered, eventually reaching around two hundred people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of them appeared an old man with a goatee whose aura was unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth and said, \"Before entering the sect, we have to test your Spirit Roots once more. Line up, one by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a wave of his hand, a man-high copper mirror appeared beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a stable circular base at the bottom, with a white crystal embedded at the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever someone stepped in front of the copper mirror, irregular stone blocks representing their Spirit Roots would automatically appear, composed of a large number of tiny honeycomb particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Lou Yi had also understood how to determine the quality of a Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It depended on the number of glowing particles representing the respective Spirit Root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Element was red, Yin Element was dim, Wind Element was green, Water Element was blue, Earth Element was yellow...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the cultivation technique attributes of Corpse-Driving Sect, most of the recruited disciples had Yin Spirit Roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lower-Grade Yin Spirit Root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Middle-Grade Yin Spirit Root, Lower-Grade Fire Element Spirit Root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lower-Grade...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lower-Grade...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man with the goatee held a bamboo slip in his hand, seemingly cross-referencing, and kept nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Top-Grade Yin Spirit Root, Lower-Grade Water Element Spirit Root.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, a top-grade appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stone block in the copper mirror, nearly thirty percent of the area emitted a faint dim light, with another small part emitting a blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with the top-grade Spirit Root was a young woman in a pale green dress, of unmatched beauty and a cold demeanor, evidently not welcoming of strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was none other than You Qingyi, the daughter of General You of Zhao Kingdom, who was in the same group as Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stand to the right,\" the old man with the goatee said with a smile, warmly beckoning You Qingyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only her, but everyone with a Mid-grade Spirit Root or above stood to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with Lower-Grade Spirit Roots all stood in the left area, taking up most of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a middle-aged man with a stiff expression led the disciples with good aptitude on the right away first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples like Lou Yi, with Lower-Grade Spirit Roots, had to wait a little longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male disciple in a light blue Daoist Robe soon arrived to lead them up the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male disciple, in his twenties, tall and thin, with small eyes, had slightly pale skin, but wasn’t overly stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow junior disciples, I am your guide, Wei Jian, a few years older than you.
