Emptying the Sect's Library

"I heard your family's illegitimate daughter tested as a Single Spiritual Root? She's been the talk of the town." Nan Xianshi leaned in, blinking her bright eyes. "And you're just a Five Spirit Roots?"

"Bai Ling is no longer part of the Bai family, so she can't be considered my family."

"It seems you dislike her too? Good, good." Nan Xianshi nodded approvingly. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since we're entering the immortal sect together, we'll be sisters from now on."

Bai Lan nodded, looking at Nan Xianshi, whose expression was lively and tone was proud, and smiled down.

Having just escaped death, most of the mortals on the spaceship were still filled with lingering fear. They had no leisure to pay attention to anything else.

Only daring individuals like Nan Xianshi would have the inclination to chat with others.

"Hmph, what a pretentious little vixen. She's always using that delicate pose to gain sympathy. Disgusting." Nan Xianshi snorted coldly, her gaze directly sweeping towards Bai Ling, who was standing some distance away.

Bai Lan's gaze followed, and indeed, Bai Ling was talking to a disciple named Le Qing, her every smile and frown exuding a delicate demeanor.

And in Le Qing's eyes at this moment, there was nothing but tenderness as he looked at Bai Ling.

It's just that she wondered what expression this Senior Brother Le Qing would have when he discovered his beloved junior sister was involved with his master.

Would he accept it? Or betray the sect?

Tsk, how interesting.

"Everyone, we've arrived." A clear, cold voice echoed from the sky.

Bai Lan looked around at the sound. The spaceship slowly stopped, and the scenery of the immortal sect gradually came into view.

Amidst layered peaks and swirling clouds, one could faintly see flocks of immortal cranes and cultivators flying on swords, shuttling through the air.

And where they were was the outer sect.

"Uncle-Master, why are the disciples brought back this trip..." A disciple in blue stepped forward, first bowing respectfully. He glanced at the dozen or so disciples disembarking from the spaceship and spoke with some confusion.

In previous years, there were fifty to sixty people. Why were there only a dozen or so this year?

"Hmph, we encountered demonic cultivators ambushing us on the road, and there was a traitor among the inner disciples. That person seemed to be under Junior Brother Qing Xuan's tutelage. This time, the demonic cultivators were clearly prepared."

That "Senior Brother Liu" was under True Person Qing Xuan... Wait a minute, could that demon prince Lan Ning have infiltrated the Azure Origin Sect under the alias Senior Brother Liu?

Bai Lan's guess flashed through her mind, and she shook her head. Speculation couldn't be taken as fact.

"Since you are the Outer Sect Affairs Elder, compile a list of names of those who perished on this trip and send some gold and silver to their families," True Person Zi Ling said, then didn't linger. She summoned a flying artifact shaped like a lotus flower and instantly disappeared from the spot.

That's how a Core Formation True Person is, swift as the wind.

The blue-robed disciple, addressed as the Outer Sect Affairs Elder, was stunned and scratched his head.

"Never mind, never mind... Hmm..." The Outer Sect Affairs Elder glanced at the list handed over by a disciple beside him and slowly said, "Long Aotian, Bai Ling, Nan Xianshi, you three follow me. The Sect Master wants to see you. Zhang Shan, you take the rest of the people to find accommodations."

Two of these three were Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and Nan Xianshi was a Dual Spiritual Root. All were disciples with good potential, likely to be directly accepted into the inner sect.

As Long Aotian and Bai Ling left, they both turned back with tacit understanding and gave Bai Lan a provocative smile.

Bai Lan: "..."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

You two really haven't forgotten your intentions, no matter where you go, you won't forget to exchange glares with her, their "number one enemy."

"If I enter the inner sect, Senior Sister might not be able to cover for you in the future." Nan Xianshi proudly threw back a sentence before quickly following the Outer Sect Affairs Elder.

Bai Lan: "..."

Tsundere is out of fashion, thank you.

The bamboo houses prepared by the Azure Origin Sect for the handyman disciples were originally dormitories for four people, with over twenty rooms. Now, due to the sharp decrease in the number of newly admitted disciples, each person could be assigned a separate room.

"Inside the room, there is a copy of the Sect Rules, a cultivation technique for drawing Qi into the body, and a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills. Our Azure Origin Sect does not have many rules, but the bottom line of the righteous path must not be touched. Otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall will make you experience a fate worse than death. Those who violate the regulations and flee from punishment will have the Azure Origin Sect's pursuit order follow them for life."

Everyone's expression turned solemn.

"You are all still mortals. Remember to cultivate diligently and do not slack off." After speaking, the senior brother named Zhang Shan pointed to the mountain in the distance: "That is the location of the sect's spirit fields. Handyman disciples must submit a fixed amount of spirit grass every month. Any surplus can be exchanged for contribution points. If the submitted spirit grass is insufficient for three consecutive months, you will be expelled from the sect."

So, after cultivating, you still have to work?

"Cultivate well. As long as you break through to the middle stage of Qi Refining, you can enter the outer sect. From then on, these restrictions will no longer apply, and you can do as you please. You are all dismissed."

Bai Lan casually picked a bamboo house and flipped through the Sect Rules in her hand.

It was nothing more than not colluding with demons, not cultivating demonic techniques, not falling into demonic ways, not harming fellow disciples, not betraying the sect, and so on.

Indeed, as Zhang Shan said, the Azure Origin Sect did not have many rules. The only bottom line was the bottom line for all righteous cultivators.

The Azure Origin Sect was built upon a spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy was tens of times more abundant than in the mortal world. Bai Lan, who had been suppressing her cultivation, could no longer hold back and broke through the bottleneck.

After spending half a day stabilizing her cultivation, Bai Lan opened her eyes, picked up the system that was dozing beside her, and said, "Let's go, System, we're going to pick up some benefits."

As early as on the spaceship, Bai Lan had already planned out her subsequent actions.

She remembered that in the plot, the destined male and female protagonists both found two very good spell inheritance techniques in the outer sect's library.

The skeletal old man at the bottom of the cliff had indeed left her many cultivation techniques, but most of them were tailored for the Profound Yin Absolute Pulse, which she couldn't use.

Each new disciple's identity jade token contained one hundred contribution points. With these one hundred contribution points, they could exchange for a low-level cultivation technique in the sect's library.

But Bai Lan was different. She could repeatedly reload and save.

With one hundred contribution points, she could use these one hundred contribution points each time to exchange for a different cultivation technique or spell, learn it, and then reload.

For just a hundred contribution points, she could learn all the low-level cultivation techniques in the library!

She didn't need to learn many techniques, but if she mastered a hundred, or even thousands of spells, she could use the principles of the five elements' mutual generation and restraint to achieve victory through surprise and put her enemies to death in battle.

With her Five Spirit Roots, it meant she could learn spells of all attributes, including metal, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as wind, ice, and lightning.

This was because the five elements were the foundation of spiritual energy. Wood generated wind, fire generated lightning, and metal and water generated ice.

As long as she gained sufficient mastery over the spiritual energy of the five elements, she could potentially derive the other three elements from metal, wood, water, and earth.

With anticipation shining in her eyes, Bai Lan finally found the Azure Origin Sect's outer sect library after asking for directions.

"Oh? Are you perhaps one of this year's new disciples? You haven't even reached Qi Refining level one, yet you're aiming so high?" The old man guarding the library glanced up at Bai Lan, his gaze suddenly sharpening. "Heh, interesting. You've actually used the Breath Concealment technique to hide your cultivation."

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
