Chapter 15

In the days that followed, Ye Qingxuan cultivated diligently to raise his cultivation base while secretly observing the progress of those who entered the Fuxiu Academy in the same batch as him.

During cultivation, Ye Qingxuan discovered that every time he circulated the Earth Source Art, it would draw a special aura from the earth, merge into his body, and vanish.

After a thorough investigation, Ye Qingxuan found no cause. Seeing it had no negative effect on him, he suppressed his doubts and continued cultivating.

Time passed!

Finally, on the fifteenth day, the first person in this batch to break through to the Qi Refining realm, aside from Ye Qingxuan, was born.

However, this person was one of only two with dual spiritual roots in the same batch as Ye Qingxuan.

As for the others with single spiritual roots, they still showed no progress whatsoever.

Noticing this situation, Ye Qingxuan thought silently:

"It seems my extraordinary soul has helped me far more than I imagined!"

At the very least, this special soul allowed him to sense spiritual energy far faster than others.

On the seventeenth day, another person with dual spiritual roots sensed spiritual energy and broke through to the Qi Refining realm.

On the thirty-first day, the first person with a single spiritual root, aside from Ye Qingxuan, smoothly entered the Qi Refining realm.

After this person broke through, the Fuxiu Academy seemed to have opened a floodgate, and others followed suit, breaking through into the Qi Refining realm one after another.

Seeing the time was ripe, Ye Qingxuan prepared to announce his own breakthrough to the outside.

Arriving at the Affairs Hall of the Fuxiu Academy, Ye Qingxuan found a middle-aged man of slightly chubby build and respectfully said:

"Steward Bai, disciple has successfully broken through to the Qi Refining realm and comes to register!"

This slightly chubby middle-aged man was precisely Bai Zichun, the steward in charge of the Fuxiu Academy's affairs.

Bai Zichun glanced at Ye Qingxuan with a smile, checked and asked a few questions, then quickly registered and entered Ye Qingxuan's information.

The procedure was not complicated.

After registering at the Affairs Hall, Ye Qingxuan received his beginner's gift pack from the Xuantian Sect:

Three thousand low-grade spirit stones!

One thousand contribution points!

Contribution points were the universal currency within the Xuantian Sect; everything belonging to the sect inside required exchange with contribution points.

One contribution point could be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone, but spirit stones could not be exchanged for contribution points; contribution points could only be obtained by completing sect missions.

One disciple token!

With this disciple token, Ye Qingxuan could use the teleportation arrays within the Xuantian Sect for free and enter or exit many places.

Moreover, the disciple token possessed a voice transmission function; as long as each other's marks were left, they could communicate with each other, provided the range did not exceed the distance of three great prefectures!

A sect manual!

It recorded various regulations of the Xuantian Sect, the usage of contribution points, and many detailed introductions to the sect.

One mid-grade magic tool!

Three bottles of Grade One Spirit-Enhancing Pills, totaling thirty pills.

The effect of the Spirit-Enhancing Pills made Ye Qingxuan feel greatly surprised.

Grade One Spirit-Enhancing Pills could amplify the spiritual root refinement speed of Qi Refining cultivators, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of spiritual energy.

Indeed, the Xuantian Sect did not disappoint him; the problems he currently faced were not even considered problems in front of the Xuantian Sect.

In addition to the items received at once, Ye Qingxuan also received a storage bag of about three cubic meters and three sets of exclusive clothing for Fuxiu disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

The clothes were embroidered with landscapes, trees, and mountains, very exquisite.

However, in daily cultivation, the Xuantian Sect did not force disciples to wear the clothing representing the sect; generally, such mandatory requirements only existed for some important occasions.

Besides the one-time items received, Ye Qingxuan could also receive three bottles of Spirit-Enhancing Pills and a stipend of thirty contribution points every month.

The contribution points would be directly transferred to everyone's token.

It was worth noting that ordinary servant disciples, aside from receiving the same contribution points as Ye Qingxuan, had only one-third of Ye Qingxuan's quota in terms of spirit stones and pills.

This was the treatment the Xuantian Sect gave to Fuxiu Academy disciples.

After all, given the talents of most Fuxiu reserves, without support in the early stages, who knew when they would break through to the perfection of Qi Refining and truly become Fuxiu cultivators?

After receiving his beginner's gift pack from the Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan immediately returned to his small courtyard.

First, he tried the effect of the Spirit-Enhancing Pills and found that one pill could double his cultivation speed, maintaining it for a full three hours.

"Coming to the Xuantian Sect was the right choice!"

If he were outside, obtaining enough resources would require who knows how much effort.

After trying the effect of the Spirit-Enhancing Pills, Ye Qingxuan suppressed his excitement, took out the sect manual, and spent a considerable amount of time memorizing all its contents.

From the sect rules, Ye Qingxuan roughly understood the basic framework of the Xuantian Sect:

The top layer consisted of some Grand Elders and the Sect Master.

Below the Sect Master were two Vice Sect Masters.

Below the Vice Sect Masters were the Hall Masters, Vice Hall Masters, and Elders of the various halls.

The Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters of the various halls were basically at the Tribulation Crossing realm!

Elders were divided into:

Law Enforcement Elders, equivalent to the Tribulation Crossing realm!

Guardian Elders, equivalent to the Void Meditation realm!

Executive Elders, equivalent to the Void Penetration realm!

Then came the various disciples:

Inheritance Disciples: Starting cultivation base at the Void Penetration realm, requiring passage of the sect's three major assessments; their status was comparable to Law Enforcement Elders. If the assessment failed, they could only become Executive Elders.

True Disciples: Disciples taken in by those at the Soul Transformation realm or Law Enforcement Elders and above.

Core Disciples or Stewards: Nascent Soul realm.

Inner Disciples: Purple Mansion Realm, Golden Core Realm

Outer Disciples: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment

Servant Disciples: Below the seventh layer of Qi Refining

After understanding the basic framework of the Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan finally understood why Ye Qingxiao had been brought to the Servant Courtyard!

At first, he thought it was because Ye Qingxiao's talent did not meet the standard for Inner Disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

It turned out that within the Xuantian Sect, except for disciples who are Law Enforcement Elders or higher, all disciples start as Servant Disciples, with their ranks divided by realm.

Only the Xuantian Sect, unafraid of others' prying eyes, would write such information into the sect manual for all disciples to know.

If it were a faction with insufficient strength, wouldn't information regarding the sect's specific power be kept hidden?

Ye Qingxuan felt fortunate once again to have joined the Xuantian Sect; with the Xuantian Sect as his backing, he did not know how many detours he could avoid.

Afterwards, Ye Qingxuan took out the flying sword he had received and began to refine his first magic treasure in life.

Ye Qingxuan learned from the sect manual.

Magic treasures in the Di Xuan Realm are currently divided into five grades: Magical Tools, True Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Spiritual Treasures, and Immortal Artifacts.

Each grade is further divided into four tiers: Low Grade, Mid Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.

The flying sword in Ye Qingxuan's hand was a Mid Grade Magical Tool.

The grade was insufficient, barely allowing Ye Qingxuan to refine it; he spent about an hour before finally completing the refinement and successfully binding his first Magical Tool in life as his master.

After doing all this, Ye Qingxuan entered seclusion!

His current cultivation base was still too low; many plans required sufficient strength to support them, so Ye Qingxuan decided to improve his cultivation base first.

He also had no intention of leaving the courtyard to make friends with other cultivators in the Fuxiu Courtyard.

According to his plan, since he chose to become a Fuxiu, he would slowly fade his presence and accumulate his strength in the shadows.

Wasting precious time now to befriend these cultivators would be meaningless when he truly became a Fuxiu and sat alone in desolation.

So Ye Qingxuan was not disturbed by the outside world but maintained his own cultivation rhythm on his own.

There were simply too many things he needed to do.

To develop the Blessed Land and maintain a fast cultivation speed after becoming a Fuxiu, he had to start planning and laying out his strategy now for the time after he became a Fuxiu.

The spiritual medicine seeds and alchemy inheritance he obtained from his family were preparation for this.

To develop the Blessed Land and raise its level, he needed to plant a large number of spiritual plants within it, gradually improving the Blessed Land's environment and driving its promotion.

To increase his cultivation speed after becoming a Fuxiu, he needed to acquire a large amount of cultivation resources.

All of this required Ye Qingxuan to accumulate slowly in the early stages, preparing for that moment.

If he could become an Alchemist, he could form a perfect closed loop within the future Blessed Land, producing and consuming his own supplies, gradually increasing his cultivation speed.

This was also the reason Ye Qingxuan requested spiritual medicine seeds and alchemy inheritance from his family.
