A Sect Handbook

In the days that followed, Ye Qingxuan cultivated diligently to improve his cultivation while secretly observing the cultivation progress of those who had entered the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard with him.

During cultivation, Ye Qingxuan discovered that every time he circulated the Earth Source Art, it drew a special aura from the earth, which merged into his body and vanished without a trace.

After investigating for a while, Ye Qingxuan failed to find the reason. Seeing that it had no effect on him, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and continue cultivating.

Time passed!

Finally, on the fifteenth day, the first person besides Ye Qingxuan among this batch stepped into the Qi Refining Realm.

However, this person was one of the only two people in Ye Qingxuan's batch with Dual Element Spiritual Roots.

As for the others with Single Element Spiritual Roots, they still showed no progress whatsoever.

Noticing this, Ye Qingxuan thought to himself:

"It seems this soul of mine, different from ordinary people's, has not been as little help as I imagined!"

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

On the seventeenth day, the other person with Dual Element Spiritual Roots sensed Spiritual Energy and stepped into the Qi Refining Realm.

On the thirty-first day, the first person with Single Element Spiritual Roots besides Ye Qingxuan successfully entered the Qi Refining Realm.

After this person broke through, it was as though the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard had opened its floodgates, and the others successively broke through into the Qi Refining Realm.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Ye Qingxuan also prepared to announce that he had successfully broken through.

After arriving at the Affairs Hall of the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard, Ye Qingxuan found a slightly plump Middle-aged Man and respectfully said:

"Steward Bai, this disciple has successfully broken through to the Qi Refining Realm and has come to register!"

This slightly plump Middle-aged Man was Bai Zichun, the Manager responsible for the affairs of the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard.

Bai Zichun smiled at Ye Qingxuan. After inspecting him and asking a few questions, he quickly registered and entered Ye Qingxuan's information.

The process was not complicated.

After registering at the Affairs Hall, Ye Qingxuan received his Beginner's Gift Pack from Xuantian Sect:

Three Thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!

One Thousand Contribution Points!

Contribution Points were the common currency within Xuantian Sect. Everything belonging to the sect within Xuantian Sect had to be exchanged using 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.

A Disciple Token!

With this Disciple Token, Ye Qingxuan could use the Teleportation Arrays within Xuantian Sect free of charge and travel in and out of many places.

Moreover, the Disciple Token possessed a Sound Transmission Function. As long as they left each other's marks, they could communicate with one another, so long as the distance between them did not exceed three Great Provinces!

A Sect Handbook!

It recorded Xuantian Sect's various regulations, the ways Contribution Points could be used, and many detailed introductions to the sect.

A Mid-grade Artifact!

Three Bottles of First-order Spirit Augmentation Pills, thirty pills in total.

The effects of the Spirit Augmentation Pills greatly surprised Ye Qingxuan.

A First-order Spirit Augmentation Pill could increase the rate at which Qi Refining Realm Cultivators' Spirit Roots refined Spiritual Energy, thereby improving the efficiency of Spiritual Energy conversion.

Sure enough, Xuantian Sect had not disappointed him. The problem he faced now was not even a problem in Xuantian Sect's eyes.

In addition, Ye Qingxuan received a Storage Bag of roughly three cubic meters in size, as well as three sets of exclusive clothing for Xuantian Sect Blessed Cultivator Disciples.

The clothes were embroidered with mountains, waters, and trees, exquisitely crafted.

However, in daily cultivation, Xuantian Sect did not insist that its Sect Disciples wear clothing representing the sect. Generally, only on certain important occasions would Xuantian Sect impose such a requirement.

Apart from the items he received all at once, Ye Qingxuan could also collect three bottles of Spirit Augmentation Pills and a stipend of thirty Contribution Points every month.

The Contribution Points would be directly credited to each person's Token.

One had to know that for ordinary Servant Disciples, aside from receiving the same number of Contribution Points as Ye Qingxuan, their Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills amounted to only one-third of Ye Qingxuan's allocation.

And this was the treatment Xuantian Sect gave the disciples of the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard.

After all, with the talent of most Blessed Cultivator Reserves, if they were not supported during the Early Stage, who knew when they would break through to Qi Refining Perfection and truly Become A Blessed Cultivator?

After receiving his Beginner's Gift Pack from Xuantian Sect, Ye Qingxuan immediately returned to his small courtyard.

He first tested the effects of the Spirit Augmentation Pill. Ye Qingxuan discovered that a single Spirit Augmentation Pill could double his Cultivation Speed for a full Three Hours.

"Coming to Xuantian Sect was the right choice!"

If he were Outside World, obtaining Sufficient Strength resources would take who knew how much effort.

After testing the effects of the Spirit Augmentation Pill, Ye Qingxuan suppressed the excitement in his heart, took out the Sect Handbook, and spent Not Short amount of time memorizing all its contents.

From the Sect Rules, Ye Qingxuan roughly came to understand Xuantian Sect's basic framework:

At the very top were several 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 all in the Tribulation Crossing Realm!

The Elders were divided into:

Enforcement Elders, equivalent to the Tribulation Crossing Realm!

Guardian Elders, equivalent to the Void Comprehension Realm!

Steward Elders, equivalent to the Void Glimpse Realm!

Then came the various disciples:

Inheritance Disciples: starting at Void Glimpse Realm cultivation, they had to pass the sect's three major assessments. Their status was comparable to Enforcement Elders; if they failed the assessments, they could only become Steward Elders.

True Inheritance Disciples: introductory disciples accepted by those at the Spirit Transformation Realm or Enforcement Elders and above.

Core Disciples or Managers: Nascent Soul Realm.

Inner Sect Disciples: Purple Mansion Realm, Golden Core Realm.

Outer Sect Disciples: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment.

Servant Disciples: Below Qi Refining Level Seven.

After learning Xuantian Sect's basic framework, Ye Qingxuan finally understood why Ye Qingxiao had been taken to the Labor Courtyard!

At first, he had thought Ye Qingxiao's talent did not meet Xuantian Sect's standard for Inner Sect Disciples.

As it turned out, within Xuantian Sect, apart from the disciples of Enforcement Elders and those above, all disciples started as Servant Disciples, with their rank determined by their realm.

Only Xuantian Sect, unafraid of Other People peeking, would write such information into the Sect Handbook for all disciples to know.

If it were a force without sufficient strength, wouldn't information concerning the sect's exact power have to be hidden away?

Ye Qingxuan once again felt fortunate that he had been able to join Xuantian Sect. With Xuantian Sect at his back, he did not know how many detours he could avoid.

Afterward, Ye Qingxuan took out the Flying Sword he had received and began refining the first Magic Treasure of his life.

Ye Qingxuan learned from the Sect Handbook that:

The Magic Treasures of the Dihuan Realm were currently divided into five levels: Artifacts, True Artifacts, Spirit Treasures, Spirit Treasures, and Immortal Artifacts.

Each level was further divided into four grades: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

The Flying Sword in Ye Qingxuan's hand was a Mid-grade Artifact Level item.

Its level was not high, and Ye Qingxuan could barely refine it. He spent roughly two hours before finally completing the refinement and successfully binding the first Artifact of his life as its master!

Having done all this, Ye Qingxuan entered closed-door cultivation!

His cultivation was still too low. Many of his plans required Sufficient Strength to support them, so Ye Qingxuan decided to Improve Cultivation first.

Nor did he plan to leave the courtyard and befriend the other cultivators of the Blessed Cultivator Courtyard.

According to his plans, since he had chosen to Become A Blessed Cultivator, he would slowly fade his presence and quietly accumulate his strength in secret.

There was no point in wasting precious time befriending these cultivators now. When he truly became a Blessed Cultivator and sat in one place in Ku Zuo, it would hold no meaning whatsoever.

Thus, Ye Qingxuan ignored the interference of the Outside World and maintained his own cultivation rhythm.

There were simply too many things he needed to do.

If he wanted to develop the Blessed Land and maintain a Cultivation Speed that was Not Slow after becoming a Blessed Cultivator, he had to begin laying out plans now for after he became one.

The Spirit Herb Seeds and Alchemy Inheritance he had requested from his family were preparations for this.

To develop the Blessed Land and raise its level, he needed to plant large quantities of Spirit Plants within it, imperceptibly improving the Blessed Land's environment and driving its advancement.

To improve his Cultivation Speed after becoming a Blessed Cultivator, he needed to acquire large amounts of Cultivation Resources.

All of this required Ye Qingxuan to slowly accumulate resources during the Early Stage and prepare for that moment.

If he could become an Alchemist, he could form a perfect closed loop in his future Blessed Land—Self-Production and Self-Sales—and gradually increase his own Cultivation Speed.

This was also why Ye Qingxuan had asked his family for Spirit Herb Seeds and an Alchemy Inheritance.
