Chapter 344: Dean of the Fortune Cultivator Academy

"What now?"

"Forget it, let's go back and rest first. Let Ye Qingxuan figure this out himself! Hehe."

Zhu Dafu hesitated for a moment on a certain peak in the Xuantian Mountain Range, then sent a message to Ye Qingxuan.

Then, shaking his head, he turned and left the area, fleeing toward the direction of the Xuantian Sect's market.

After the number of Fortune Cultivators within the Fortune Cultivator Alliance exceeded one hundred,

Zhu Dafu found it gradually harder to persuade other Fortune Cultivators to join the alliance.

There were two reasons why persuasion became difficult.

First, the Fortune Cultivators Zhu Dafu approached later had been Fortune Cultivators for far too long.

After long periods of despair, many had become muddled and no longer easily believed in so-called hope.

He himself was preparing to return to the Tianfu Shop to rest properly.

Zhu Dafu simply passed the problem to Ye Qingxuan.

The Xuantian Mountain Range spans several major provinces and occupies ninety percent of Xuanzhou.

For someone with Zhu Dafu's cultivation base, feeling tired was merely an excuse to slack off and rot.

He had not been on such a frantic journey for a long time.

Second, Zhu Dafu could no longer locate the Fortune Lands where other Fortune Cultivators resided.

However, the Fortune Lands of those who had become Fortune Cultivators even longer were beyond Zhu Dafu's ability to investigate.

Nevertheless, he truly could not find the locations of other Fortune Cultivators' Fortune Lands for the time being.

Under Zhu Dafu's persuasion,

the hope of finding the Fortune Lands where Fortune Cultivators had created their own realms was extremely slim.

There were already few cultivators within the Xuantian Sect who paid attention to Fortune Cultivators.

Without an accurate location,

and given that Zhu Dafu was only at the Nascent Soul realm, limiting the range of people he could query for information,

among these people, very few Fortune Cultivators were willing to join the Fortune Cultivator Alliance and struggle against fate once more.

Hundreds of years ago, he had already learned the locations of these Fortune Cultivators' Fortune Lands.

When establishing the Fortune Cultivator Alliance, Zhu Dafu had visited these people.

He was preparing to return to the Tianfu Shop to slack off for a while.

This was because the time these Fortune Cultivators became Fortune Cultivators was not far from when Zhu Dafu joined the Xuantian Sect.

Although his body was not tired, he felt mentally exhausted.

So, after failing to find the Fortune Lands of other Fortune Cultivators,

Zhu Dafu could only find those previous Fortune Cultivators.

He passed the problem to Ye Qingxuan.

Zhu Dafu did not think Ye Qingxuan could find the locations of other Fortune Cultivators.

After all, Ye Qingxuan was also a Fortune Cultivator and could not leave the Qingxuan Fortune Land.

However, if Ye Qingxuan himself could not find the Fortune Lands of other Fortune Cultivators,

then it could not be blamed on him.

With this mindset of slacking off, Zhu Dafu increased his speed again as he flew toward the market where the Tianfu Shop was located.

On the other side, within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven,

Ye Qingxuan looked at the problem sent by Zhu Dafu and said softly:

"The locations of the Fortune Cultivators? This is not difficult."

"It's just that I don't know when Manager Bai will emerge from seclusion."

As the manager of the Fortune Cultivator Academy, Bai Zichun naturally knew the locations of most Fortune Cultivators.

Given his relationship with Bai Zichun, obtaining the locations of other Fortune Cultivators was not difficult.

After all, the locations of the Fortune Lands where most Fortune Cultivators resided were not considered secrets within the Xuantian Sect.

Ye Qingxuan was not in a hurry; he cultivated silently within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven, waiting for Bai Zichun to emerge from seclusion.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three years had gone by.

One day after three years, Ye Qingxuan's disciple token trembled slightly.

Ye Qingxuan, who was meditating and cultivating as usual, stopped the circulation of his technique.

His spiritual sense surged and probed into the disciple token.

After seeing the message inside, Ye Qingxuan opened his eyes slightly and chuckled, saying:

"Hehe, he has finally emerged from seclusion."

As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan took a step and left the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

He arrived at the stone pavilion outside and began to light a fire to brew tea.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qingxuan retrieved his sixth-grade Dao-Comprehension Tea and replaced it with the fifth-grade Calming Tea he had before its transformation.

Better to avoid trouble than invite it.

Serving Bai Zichun with the fifth-grade Calming Tea was sufficient.

Ye Qingxuan did not have to wait long.

Just as Ye Qingxuan finished brewing the tea, Bai Zichun's figure appeared outside the stone pavilion.

Inviting Bai Zichun into the stone pavilion and pouring him a cup of tea, Ye Qingxuan smiled lightly and said:

"Manager Bai, you gained a lot from this seclusion, didn't you?"

With Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base, it was not difficult to see that Bai Zichun's realm had completely stabilized.

He was now truly a cultivator at the early stage of Soul Transformation.

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Bai Zichun let out a speechless laugh and said:

"Oh, no, no. That I could break through to the Soul Transformation realm is thanks to you, young one."

"Without those items you gave me, I might never have had any hope of breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm in this lifetime."

"Moreover, I am no longer a manager, but the Dean of the Fuxiu Academy."

Taking a fine sip of the fifth-grade Calming Tea from his cup, Bai Zichun immediately felt refreshed and at ease.

After breaking through to the Soul Transformation realm,

as long as Bai Zichun completed the assessment of the Xuantian Sect, he could rejoin the disciple ranks and become a true inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

However, having served as a manager of the Fuxiu Academy for many years, Bai Zichun had grown too lazy to make the effort.

So he gave up the opportunity to become a true inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect and instead took on the position of Dean of the Fuxiu Academy.

Although the benefits and treatment were not as good as those of a true inner disciple, the position was far more leisurely and carefree.

There were many managers in the Fuxiu Academy.

After becoming the Dean of the Fuxiu Academy,

Bai Zichun originally no longer needed to personally handle matters with the various Fuxiu branches or deal with their trivial affairs.

Only with Ye Qingxuan did Bai Zichun still choose to handle the liaison personally, rather than assigning it to another manager.

Having known Ye Qingxuan for many years,

although there was a great age difference between the two,

Bai Zichuan long ago stopped viewing Ye Qingxuan merely as a junior.

Instead, he regarded Ye Qingxuan as his closest friend.

Ye Qingxuan had his own secrets, and Bai Zichuan had noticed this over the years.

However, among the tens of millions of disciples in the Xuantian Sect, there were not a few who had secrets and opportunities.

So Bai Zichuan did not mind these things and never thought to pry into Ye Qingxuan's secrets.

First, he himself did not wish to, and second, the sect rules of the Xuantian Sect forbade it.

Nevertheless, since it was a secret, the fewer people who noticed it, the greater the protection.

Ye Qingxuan had done him a great favor.

Whether he viewed Ye Qingxuan as a promising junior or as his friend,

Bai Zichuan was unwilling to let anyone else in the Fuxiu Academy discover Ye Qingxuan's secrets.

This was why, after becoming the Dean of the Fuxiu Academy, he handed over the liaison duties for the other Fuxiu branches.

Yet he alone retained the liaison task for Ye Qingxuan.

From now on, as long as he was alive for even one day, he would be the sole liaison between Ye Qingxuan and the Fuxiu Academy.

Ye Qingxuan did not know what was in Bai Zichuan's mind.

Upon hearing that Bai Zichuan had become the Dean of the Fuxiu Academy, he raised an eyebrow and joked:

"In that case, should this disciple henceforth address Manager Bai as Dean Bai? Hahaha!"

Bai Zichuan paid no heed to Ye Qingxuan's joking words.

Looking at Ye Qingxuan, whose bearing seemed even more impressive than in the past, he smiled lightly and said:

"You rascal, just say it. How many Spirit-Purifying Trees are you preparing to sell this time to exchange for the Source of Spiritual Veins?"
