Azure Lotus Island, Lecture Hall.
A gray-robed elder with a ruddy complexion was teaching more than a thousand members of the lineage. After the members were found to possess Spirit Roots, they would come to the Lecture Hall to learn the basics of cultivation. This was their initiation.
Besides the basics of cultivation, the members also had to study their lineage's history, which began with the Lower Realm of Eastern Fence World.
"Ancestor Qingqi devoted everything to the lineage and trained many outstanding Alchemists for it. He is our role model. You must learn from Ancestor Qingqi properly, understand?"
The Clan Elder's expression turned solemn as he said this seriously.
The members of the lineage answered in unison.
The clan elder nodded and looked toward a handsome boy in golden robes. "Chuanming, after hearing today's lesson, what are your thoughts?"
"Learn from Ancestor Qingqi. However, times have changed. I believe one's cultivation is the most important thing. If Ancestor Qingqi had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he would have had more time and resources to study new pill formulas. Of course, given the circumstances back then, it would have been very difficult for Ancestor Qingqi to reach the Nascent Soul Realm. We should learn from his spirit, cultivate diligently, and contribute our share of strength to the lineage."
The boy in golden robes said seriously.
The clan elder nodded in satisfaction, then looked toward the corner and said in a deep voice, "Chuanlin, what are you looking at?"
A thin boy in blue robes stood up and answered, "Granduncle, I was looking at the biography of our ancestor."
"How many times have I told you? You are not allowed to read other books during class. Not even the biography of our ancestor. Go stand outside."
The Clan Elder ordered him.
