Chapter 288

"Then, there are the True Monarchs Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper who are in the late stage of Essence Refining."

"By the way, if you join Shushan, you must not call them immortals or True Monarchs in Shushan."

"Cultivators are very strict about the attitude toward immortals; if you call them that, True Monarch Cloud Retainer and the others might not be happy."

"If you join Shushan, you should call them Senior Brother or Senior Sister."

Hearing this, everyone nodded knowingly and remembered it firmly.

"After that, there are Lady Ningguang, Lady Keqing, Mr. Baizhu, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Shenhe, etc., who are in the mid-stage of Essence Refining."

"Mr. Baizhu's combat power is not strong, but he is the disciple of Dazhu Peak who is best at alchemy."

"So, Lady Ningguang and the others are very polite to Mr. Baizhu; after all, alchemists are really..."

Baiwen didn't finish, but everyone present had read cultivation novels and naturally knew what an alchemist was.

"That is the most popular side path in the cultivation world."

"Among the cultivators in the mid-stage of Essence Refining, Ms. Lumine and Ms. Klee are the strongest."

"Both of them are legendary divine bodies, the Glazed Sword Heart and the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body."

"Ms. Lumine inherited the simplified version of the Sect Leader's Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art, and can be considered half a disciple of the Sect Leader. Ms. Klee even has the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Art to cultivate."

"Note, Ms. Klee has a special status in Shushan, and even the Peak Masters must be polite to her. After all, Ms. Klee is the only personal disciple of the Sect Leader in Shushan."

Hearing this, everyone instantly paid their respects.

The Sect Leader's personal disciple...

To be honest, this was being cultivated in the direction of the next Sect Leader.

Divine body...

Everyone firmly remembered this keyword.

"The rest are existences in the early stage of Essence Refining, such as Acting Grandmaster Jean, Diluc, Kaeya, etc."

"But among the early-stage Essence Refining cultivators, the strongest is Paimon."

Baiwen looked at the little thing chatting with Lumine with complex eyes.

"Is it that little guy?"

Furina was a bit puzzled.

She really couldn't see anything special about Paimon.

"Paimon is the last of the three divine bodies of Shushan, the Star Body, cultivating the Basic Mantra True Explanation passed down by the Sect Leader."

"Her mantra ability is miraculous, and in the future, she will inherit one of the Sect Leader's Eight Great Mantras, the Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra."

"She can also be considered half a disciple of the Sect Leader."

"These three are also the three with the most talent in Shushan at present."

"They were also exempted from the Heart-Asking Array assessment and accepted into Shushan by the Sect Leader."

Everyone fell silent. They hadn't heard of the concept of a divine body, and hearing it now, they only felt it was extremely outrageous.

Cultivating immortality...

Ultimately, there would be no fair starting point.

Even if ordinary people practiced to death, it would be very difficult to catch up with the cultivation of geniuses.

Geniuses are popular everywhere.

Everyone sighed in their hearts but didn't pay too much attention.

Childe looked at the incense burning not far away, which had only a small piece left.

He immediately said:

"Ms. Baiwen, is there anything else in Shushan that we need to pay attention to? If we are lucky enough to join Shushan, it will save us from violating Shushan's rules."

Hearing this, Baiwen looked at Childe deeply, and the latter didn't dodge, waiting quietly for Baiwen's answer.

After a long while, Baiwen said slowly:

"I don't know much about Shushan affairs either; they were all things Lady Ningguang occasionally mentioned to me."

"If I have to say what is most important, it is not to violate the precepts of the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Otherwise, even the Peak Masters of each peak will be punished without exception. I heard that Peak Master Venti has been caught by Peak Master Zhongli many times."

"A lot of contribution points were deducted."

Furina asked curiously:

"Contribution points?"

"That is the currency circulated by Shushan disciples. However, if you want to obtain them, you can only complete tasks in the Merit Hall or make contributions."

Baiwen continued:

"Contribution points can be exchanged for many things: spirit stones, pills, dharma artifacts, etc., so contribution points are the most important cultivation resource."

"The significance of spirit stones in the cultivation world is equivalent to Mora, while contribution points are the Mora circulated within the sect."

"For cultivators, spirit stones are very important things."

"Not only can they be used for trading, but they are also consumables used by cultivators for cultivation."

"However, spirit stones can only be exchanged at the Shushan Merit Hall now, or the Peak Masters and elders of each peak can have monthly salaries."

"Pills and dharma artifacts don't need to be mentioned; they are things that only cultivators can use, and I don't know much about them either."

"Besides that, it's about the Shushan world."

Baiwen looked up at the seven peaks, her eyes filled with reverence that she couldn't suppress.

"The seven peaks of Shushan are the seven major factions of the Shushan sect."

"Each of the seven peaks has its own abilities, and disciples will be assigned to the seven peaks according to their respective tendencies."

"Tongtian Peak, Dragon Head Peak, Dazhu Peak, Xiaozhu Peak, Feng Hui Peak, Luoxia Peak, Chaoyang Peak."

"This is the true sect structure of Shushan."

Hearing this, everyone's interest became increasingly high, and Childe asked curiously:

"Ms. Baiwen, do you know which peak of Shushan is the strongest?"

"Don't tell me you think that after entering Shushan, you have the qualification to choose which peak to join? Do you think you are a divine body like Ms. Lumine and the others?"

Baiwen curled her lip and retorted to Childe.

The latter wasn't annoyed either, laughing:

"Just understanding in advance, I don't have the guts to be picky."

Baiwen withdrew her gaze, sensing that others around her were also looking at her curiously, and her voice lowered a bit:

"Each of the seven peaks of Shushan has its own abilities. Dazhu Peak is famous for its alchemy, and True Monarch Lishui is the head disciple of Dazhu Peak, temporarily acting as the manager."

"But the best at alchemy is Mr. Baizhu, especially the Rejuvenation Pill."

"It is said that as long as an ordinary person still has one breath, they will return to their peak period within a quarter of an hour, regrow severed limbs, and cure all diseases."

Hearing this, Dehya couldn't help but clench her fists.

Rejuvenation Pill...

This kind of pill could definitely save Dunyarzad.

"Ms. Baiwen, how can I ask Mr. Baizhu to help with alchemy?"

"Difficult..."

Baiwen shook her head.

"Although the materials for the Rejuvenation Pill are easy to gather, only Mr. Baizhu and the Sect Leader in the entire Shushan are good at refining them."

"Mr. Baizhu is devoted to the immortal path; if it weren't for the requirements of the Sect Leader and the Peak Masters, he wouldn't deliberately open the furnace."

"You can only exchange for it at the Merit Hall."

"However, the second disciple of Dazhu Peak, Ms. Lisa, is also good at alchemy, but it is said that the pills she is good at are pills like the Condensing Qi Pill that help with cultivation."

"Rejuvenation Pill, she can also refine, but..."

Baiwen pursed her lips, and her voice became lower and lower.

"It is said that the cultivation technique practiced by Ms. Lisa is a rare demonic art in Shushan, and her personality is a bit difficult to grasp. She will only be on good terms with people she finds pleasing."

Everyone was shocked.

"Demonic art?"

Furina was a bit surprised.

Baiwen nodded slightly.

"I heard from Lady Ningguang that it is a technique that requires the use of living souls to cultivate, but Ms. Lisa adheres to the Shushan sect rules."

"Generally, she only cultivates with the souls of monsters."
