Chapter 391: The Incident Occurred

Only elixirs containing primordial energy.

Or special elixirs containing profound principles and rules.

Can be called seventh-tier or higher elixirs.

The higher the tier, the greater and purer the primordial energy contained within the elixir.

Therefore, as long as one comprehends the refining method of a seventh-tier elixir.

Advancing to become a seventh-tier alchemist is not difficult.

As for talismans?

A seventh-tier talisman only requires the ability to trigger a one-time seventh-tier power.

It does not require the profound principles and rules to be preserved for a long time.

So to advance to become a seventh-tier talisman maker.

Before he could make a move, the jade talisman before him suddenly exploded.

Time passed.

"Is my control over the profound principles and rules still insufficient?"

The mysterious talisman patterns involved in seventh-tier talismans, he had already successfully comprehended long ago.

His current seventh-tier spiritual herbs came from the Starlight Cave Realm secret domain, and their quantity was extremely limited.

At this moment.

One could naturally seal one's own profound principles and rules onto a seventh-tier talisman.

Three months later.

To unleash a strike of seventh-tier level power.

Three days later, after the jade talisman stabilized.

The main reason for his failure in crafting seventh-tier talismans.

Was temporarily sealing them onto materials capable of bearing the power of profound principles and rules.

He simply waved his sleeve expressionlessly, instantly suppressing and eliminating the entire energy surge.

His own power of profound principles and rules.

A series of 'click' and 'clack' sounds suddenly emanated from within the jade talisman.

Slowly pouring it into the jade talisman.

Was simply because he had only recently advanced to the Void Penetration realm, and his Primordial Spirit and body were still undergoing transformation.

Just as Ye Qingxuan's power of profound principles and rules was about to be completely poured into the jade talisman.

Of course, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to use seventh-tier spiritual herbs for practice directly.

He was temporarily unable to perfectly control his own power.

"Boom!"

This was not the first time Ye Qingxuan had failed.

One could craft a seventh-tier talisman and advance to become a seventh-tier talisman maker.

As Ye Qingxuan poured in his profound principles and rules, the jade talisman suddenly emitted a brilliant light.

Then try a few more times.

Pouring the profound principles and rules and spiritual power into it, they fused into a destructive energy that rapidly spread and raged in all directions.

One only needs to comprehend the mysteries of seventh-tier talismans.

"Enough, let me refine elixirs first!"

"Hum," "Hum," "Hum."

A jade talisman emitting a faint starlight floated before Ye Qingxuan.

Coordinating with his spiritual sense to imprint various mysterious talisman patterns onto the jade talisman.

This process lasted a full three days.

Although this process is difficult.

The body of the talisman trembled slightly, emitting a series of soft humming sounds.

Facing this raging energy, Ye Qingxuan did not panic.

Ye Qingxuan slowly activated his own Fire profound principles and rules and seventh-tier spiritual power.

Ye Qingxuan's eyes shimmered with divine light, his spiritual sense surged, and his hands continuously formed hand seals.

Hearing this strange sound, Ye Qingxuan frowned.

But as long as one's comprehension is high enough, and one fully comprehends the Dao patterns required for seventh-tier talismans.

During the elixir refining process, one can exercise control over one's own power.

Given that the success rate for refining seventh-tier elixirs is not high.

Using seventh-tier spiritual herbs for practice is undoubtedly a waste of precious resources.

This time, Ye Qingxuan prepared to start with first-tier elixirs.

While refining the spiritual herbs, gradually improve his control over his power.

"Bang!"

He took out the alchemy furnace and placed it on the ground before him.

Just as he was about to begin refining the elixir.

Ye Qingxuan's disciple token suddenly trembled slightly.

This seclusion.

Since it was not a deep seclusion.

So Ye Qingxuan did not seal his disciple token.

Holding the disciple token in his hand, he extended his spiritual sense into it.

After receiving the information within, Ye Qingxuan murmured:

"The sect tournament has finally begun?"

"Qingxiao, I hope your journey goes smoothly!"

The information in the token was sent to him by Ye Qingxiao.

Today is the day the Xuantian Sect disciple tournament begins.

Ye Qingxiao has now entered the Demon Realm.

The Xuantian Sect has opened only two passages to the Demon Realm.

They lead to Demon Realm World No. 3 and Demon Realm World No. 9 respectively.

The Demon Realm World chosen for this tournament of core and direct disciples is Demon Realm World No. 9.

Compared to Demon Realm World No. 3, Demon Realm World No. 9 has slightly more powerful Green Demon Clan experts.

However, Ye Qingxuan is not worried about Ye Qingxiao's journey to the Demon Realm this time.

He has prepared numerous trump cards for Ye Qingxiao.

As long as Ye Qingxiao does not act too recklessly.

Surviving and walking out of Demon Realm World No. 9 should not be a problem.

Just as he was about to put down the disciple token in his hand, it suddenly trembled slightly again.

Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan felt slightly curious and extended his spiritual sense into it once more.

A moment later.

After Ye Qingxuan finished checking the information in the token, his eyes flickered slightly.

"Heh, interesting!"

The subsequent information was sent to him by Bai Zichun.

It mainly concerned two matters.

The first matter related to the ranking of peer-level Fortune Cultivators from three months ago.

The second matter was that the ranking of the growth speeds of the Fortune Cultivators' Fortune Lands had been released.

Ye Qingxuan only learned of this now.

Because of his ranking, a wave of reports had actually erupted among the Tier 3 Fortune Cultivators.

The Fortune Cultivator reporting incident.

After Li Mu was stripped of his position, it had originally been dismissed and concluded.

However, what the Hall of Law Enforcement did not expect was this.

When the Hall of Law Enforcement initiated a review process for all cases Li Mu had previously participated in adjudicating.

In accordance with the sect's regulations.

They actually discovered some issues in one of the cases.

It was not a major matter.

It was that one case involved the ownership of a medium-sized shop in the Xuantian Sect marketplace.

Originally, this shop belonged to a Soul Transformation-stage elder within the sect.

After this Soul Transformation-stage elder's lifespan was exhausted and he perished.

According to the will he established before his death, it should have been jointly owned by his disciple and adopted son.

But his adopted son possessed poor talent.

Under normal circumstances, he could not become a disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

To allow his adopted son to live a bit longer and avoid the tragedy of a white-haired person burying a black-haired one.

Therefore, before this old elder passed away.

He specifically secured a Fortune Cultivator quota for this adopted son of his.

Making his adopted son a Fortune Cultivator disciple of the Xuantian Sect.

After this elder perished.

At the beginning.

The profits from that medium-sized shop were still divided according to the old elder's will.

His disciple and adopted son split it fifty-fifty.

But as that disciple of the old elder broke through to the Soul Transformation stage and advanced to become a direct disciple.

His status rose, and the gap in cultivation resources he needed grew larger.

This caused the disciple to entertain crooked thoughts.

Without the knowledge of the elder's adopted son.

He privately transferred the shop's assets.

He changed the shop's appearance and reopened it.

Leaving the previous shop as an empty shell.

Regarding this, the adopted son, who had become a Fortune Cultivator, naturally felt aggrieved.

He directly reported to the Hall of Law Enforcement, accusing this direct disciple of his actions.

For such an incident, the Xuantian Sect's regulations did not have a clear clause for adjudication.

But according to normal logic and reasoning.

The direct disciple's behavior indeed violated the old elder's contractual will, as well as moral principles.

Under normal circumstances, the Law Enforcement Hall should have passed judgment and imposed punishment on that direct disciple.

In severe cases, they would even directly strip that direct disciple of their status.

However, through the direct disciple's maneuvering and bribes.

Plus, Li Mu had presided over the judgment at the time.

In Li Mu's view,

one was a Fuxiu disciple with no future, while the other was a direct disciple with boundless potential.

Since the sect rules lacked clear provisions to support the judgment,

for the sake of what he considered the sect's greater good, he naturally felt he could be flexible in making the ruling.

Thus,

the three stewards responsible for the case, including Li Mu,

merely ruled that the direct disciple compensate the Fuxiu disciple with thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

And that was the end of it.

Although the Fuxiu disciple was dissatisfied, facing the Law Enforcement Hall's judgment, he had no choice.

Moreover, after becoming a Fuxiu, he gradually lost hope for his future.

So he simply sealed off his Blessed Land and ignored everything outside.

Not long after, he passed away in depression.

Originally, this matter had already passed.

But unexpectedly, due to the previous Fuxiu reporting incident,

Li Mu, for failing to enforce the law strictly, was stripped of his position as a steward in the Law Enforcement Hall by Elder Tianxu.

The cases he had previously handled were reopened for review.

This case was finally exposed to the scrutiny of the entire Law Enforcement Hall.

There were quite a few people in the Law Enforcement Hall paying attention to the cases under review.

They always handled things strictly, killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Let alone involving just a few stewards and one direct disciple.

Even if it involved a lineage disciple of the Void Penetration realm, they would still impose a heavy punishment.

In the end,

the three stewards who handled the case back then, along with that direct disciple,

all received sanctions from the Law Enforcement Hall.

Although their lives were spared, their positions as stewards and as a direct disciple were all stripped away.

Furthermore, the group had to serve in the Xuantian Sect's mines for one hundred and three hundred years respectively.

Li Mu and that direct disciple were to serve three hundred years in the mines.

The other two stewards were to serve one hundred years in the mines.

According to the information sent by Bai Zichun,

when the group heard the punishment, they cried terribly.

The entire incident spread widely within the Xuantian Sect, causing many to take the sect rules seriously again.

They did not want to sacrifice their futures for a trifling gain.

Take Li Mu for example.

A Seven-Star Steward of the Law Enforcement Hall, he might end up dying of old age in the mines.

This case was enough to make them wary.

And the Law Enforcement Hall's goal was successfully achieved.

Making an example of a direct disciple was enough to intimidate the many disciples within the sect.

Ye Qingxuan never expected

that because of his own ranking,

he had inadvertently caused the downfall of a direct disciple and three stewards of the Law Enforcement Hall.

If Bai Zichun had not told him the story, he might have remained in the dark himself.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan shook his head with a mix of helplessness and amusement.

Because of this incident, his name had reached many ears.

Fortunately, he was a Fuxiu disciple.

Living deep within his Blessed Land, he did not need to interact with others.

Given time, others would gradually forget his existence.

Just like the other Fuxiu disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Given time, except for their names recorded in the registry,

very few people would even know these Fuxiu disciples existed.

However, Ye Qingxuan was quite content with this.

He did not want too many people to keep him in mind.
