Song Qingling and Xia Hui's spirit power were both at the peak of level 29, just a single step away from the bottleneck of the Spirit Master rank.

In contrast, Qin Xuan had already reached the level 50 bottleneck; he only needed to obtain one more spirit ring to break through to the Spirit King rank.

His fourth spirit ring was obtained by hunting a 30,000-year-old spirit beast, the Evil Spirit Flood Dragon, and the spirit skill was named Dark Soul-Breaking Kill.

This spirit skill could compress his speed and strength to the extreme in a short period, creating an instantaneous burst of power, and the "Dark Soul-Breaking Kill" could ignore all defensive skills!

After the group boarded the exclusive luxury carriage of Spirit Hall on the street, Xia Hui said with a smile:

"Brother Qin, my father has been wanting to meet you for a long time."

"You are the great benefactor of our Purple Heaven Sect!"

Qin Xuan nodded slightly without saying much; the group was heading to the Purple Heaven Sect located in Star Luo City.

He wanted to see if this second-rate sect was worth cultivating, and regarding the matter of the Herb Garden, he also needed to see if it could be entrusted to Sect Master Xia Lei.

The territory of the Star Luo Empire was vast.

The Purple Heaven Sect was located in a valley on the outskirts of Star Luo City.

The situation of a second-rate sect, whether in the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire, was very awkward.

After all, their strength and foundation were neither here nor there; they could not be considered top-tier and could only survive in the cracks, making business difficult to conduct.

Currently, the Purple Heaven Sect had only a hundred or so disciples, and their top combat power was limited to Sect Master Xia Lei, who was a level 81 Spirit Douluo.

Even with only these disciples, the Purple Heaven Sect was still living beyond its means and was on the verge of collapse.

After all, with the exception of the Elephant Armor Sect, the other three of the Lower Four Sects were all established within the Star Luo Empire.

When it came to business dealings, the vast majority of people preferred to choose the Lower Four Sects; who would choose the obscure Purple Heaven Sect?

This also explained why Xia Hui had been so hesitant back at the Spirit City Auction House.

It took the group half a month to reach the Purple Heaven Sect.

Qin Xuan had originally wanted to use the Wind Bird to travel, but upon second thought, he felt it was unnecessary.

The Wind Bird required spirit power to drive it, and since the journey was long, it would be bad if they encountered any unexpected situations.

Furthermore, Qin Xuan was in no rush, as he had nothing else to do afterward.

Looking ahead.

A middle-aged man wearing purple robes and sporting stubble was pacing back and forth in front of the main gate, looking anxious.

Seeing Qin Xuan and the others approaching, the middle-aged man quickly bowed respectfully:

"Purple Heaven Sect Master Xia Lei, greets Young Master Qin!"

"Sect Master Xia, there is no need for such formalities," Qin Xuan replied casually.

"Dad!" Xia Hui excitedly threw herself into Xia Lei's arms, her eyes slightly moist.

"Young Master Qin is still here, be more reserved," Xia Lei whispered.

"It's fine, Dad. Brother Qin is a very good person, and we are all good friends," Xia Hui turned her head to look at Qin Xuan and responded with a smile.

"Please forgive my daughter's lack of manners, Young Master Qin. Everyone, please follow me inside." Xia Lei led the three into the sect with great caution.

Qin Xuan was the Young Master of Spirit Hall and a personal disciple of the Pope; it was inevitable that he, the master of a mere second-rate sect, would feel nervous during their first meeting.

It was rumored that Bibi Dong had personally taken Qin Xuan to the Sunset Forest to hunt spirit beasts, where they happened to run into Dugu Bo.

As a result, Bibi Dong had used only one strike to nearly kill this level 91 Poison Douluo in the Sunset Forest.

Although the Poison Douluo did not die, his origin was damaged, and his cultivation had fallen to the Spirit Douluo rank.

This made Xia Lei even more wary of Qin Xuan and the Pope behind him.

Qin Xuan looked at the internal environment of the Purple Heaven Sect with a calm expression.

The Purple Heaven Sect was not large, with a land area similar to that of the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

Walking into the Sect Master's mansion, the group sat down in turn, and then Xia Lei spoke:

"Thank you for your care, Young Master Qin. It is thanks to your immortal herb that my daughter's Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda broke through its shackles; otherwise, she would have been stuck at the Spirit Master rank for the rest of her life."

"This kindness cannot be repaid. From now on, the entire Purple Heaven Sect will surely follow Young Master Qin through fire and water."

"Sect Master Xia, there is no need to be so polite. Little Hui and I are friends, and gifting the immortal herb was just a matter of convenience," Qin Xuan paused here and continued:

"However, there is one thing right now that I would like Sect Master Xia to help with."

"Please speak, Young Master Qin. Your subordinate will certainly do my utmost," Xia Lei replied quickly.

Here, he referred to himself as a "subordinate," clearly having decided that Qin Xuan was the leader to follow.

After all, by holding onto this powerful backer, the Purple Heaven Sect would surely have a boundless future!

As a sect master, he naturally understood that this was the best time for the Purple Heaven Sect to break its deadlock.

Moreover, he would occasionally glance at Xia Hui, revealing a meaningful smile.

"There is a large area of herbs and seeds in my storage ring that need to be cultivated."

"These were all obtained from Old Poison's Herb Garden. I wonder if Sect Master Xia could cultivate these herbs for me?"

Qin Xuan stroked the ring on his left index finger and said calmly.

"Cultivating a herb garden is certainly no problem, but if that Old Poison finds out, wouldn't he come for revenge?"

"It is shameful to admit, but even though he has fallen to the Spirit Douluo realm, he is still someone I cannot defeat."

Xia Lei spoke his apprehensions without reservation.

"I had already anticipated this."

"Sect Master Xia, how about you relocate the Purple Heaven Sect to the territory of Spirit City?"

"I observe that the Purple Heaven Sect's situation within the Star Luo Empire is quite awkward, with little business to speak of. My influence in the Star Luo Empire is limited, and I cannot provide you with much assistance."

"As long as the Purple Heaven Sect moves to the territory of Spirit City, I will put in a word with the higher-ups, and you naturally won't have to worry about making money."

"Furthermore, within Spirit City, you need not worry about Old Poison's revenge. At the same time, you can cultivate the herbs openly without any fear of being discovered."

"The positions of the Upper Three Sects will change sooner or later. As long as you manage the sect well, the Purple Heaven Sect may well secure a place among the Upper Three Sects in the future."

"After all, with the natural talent of Xia Hui and Song Qingling, isn't breaking through to Title Douluo just a matter of time?"

"When that day comes, your Purple Heaven Sect will be just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with two Douluos in one house!"

Hearing this, Xia Lei stood up in excitement and said in disbelief:

"Young Master Qin... you aren't making Xia Hui and the others join Spirit Hall, but rather letting them return to the Purple Heaven Sect?"

Qin Xuan gave a soft "mm," not refuting him.

Seeing this, Xia Lei hurriedly knelt on one knee with tears in his eyes, saying respectfully: "Thank you, Young Master Qin!"

"I will have all the disciples relocate to Spirit City tomorrow!"

It must be said that the picture Qin Xuan painted was simply too grand; anyone would find it impossible to refuse.

Imagining the future glory of the Purple Heaven Sect in his mind, a smile could not help but appear on Xia Lei's face.

"Sect Master Xia, there is no need to be so formal. Get up." As Qin Xuan spoke, his gaze shifted to the two women, Xia Hui and Song Qingling: "What are your plans for now?"

Xia Hui looked at Xia Lei, whose hair was already showing streaks of white, and said:

"I will stay for a while to help my father handle the sect's affairs, and then I will report to Spirit Hall Academy."

"Then I will stay by Xia Hui's side as well," Song Qingling added.

"Mm..." Qin Xuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "That works too. I will wait for you at Spirit Hall Academy."

"I have some matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."
