Sect Leader Han's Gifts

Originally, Liu Chun planned to cover the extra cost of using the teleportation array for the additional monthly disciple slot.

The Lingxian Sect Sect's trade routes are currently going smoothly, and they are giving him a large share of the profits, so Liu Chun is still quite wealthy.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with spending money on his disciples; in his view, it was perfectly normal for a master to spend money on his disciples during the teaching process.

However, it's clear that Lin Xiao wouldn't think that way.

Although he knew that the relationship between master and disciple in this world was extraordinary, he still insisted that the sect pay half of the expenses.

After all, the disciple is not only Liu Chun's disciple, but also a disciple of their Lingxian Sect. Cultivating talent is their common goal.

The Finance Hall had no objections to this matter.

Thus, this rule has been temporarily established, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will likely continue until Liu Chun returns to the sect and settles down.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak could finally begin their complete sect cultivation life.

The following morning.

Today, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall who were on guard at the mountain pass reported that someone from the Clear River Sect had come to deliver gifts.

Nowadays, the sect has replenished its manpower in various places, and the Law Enforcement Hall can now send people to take turns on guard duty.

According to the disciples on guard, the visitor identified himself as the eldest disciple of the Clear River Sect leader, so they had to greet him properly and couldn't just dismiss him.

Since everyone else was quite busy, the person in charge of receiving guests was Yang Jinshu, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Because of the well-known reason of Heart-Questioning Road, Yang Jinshu received the person at the Lingxian Academy at the foot of the mountain.

"I am Yu Jie, a disciple of the Clear River Sect Leader. I greet Elder Yang of the Lingxian Sect." Yu Jie stood up from his seat and bowed to Yang Jinshu, who was sitting in the reception room.

Clearly, the Lingxian Sect disciple who had escorted him had already explained Yang Jinshu's identity to him beforehand.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you are too kind. May I ask what brings you to my Lingxian Sect?" Yang Jinshu asked.

Yu Jie then took out two boxes, one Dayi and one small, from the Storage Bag at his waist, and pointed to the small, exquisite box, saying:

"To be honest, Han Weishu, who just joined your sect last month, is my master's only beloved daughter. She left in a hurry and forgot to bring many things, so my master asked me to bring them to her."

As he spoke, he pointed to another large box and said:

"To express our gratitude for your sect's tolerance and careful cultivation of Junior Sister Han, Master has specially prepared some gifts as a token of our appreciation."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinshu knew that this was actually the Clear River Sect leader's hope that their Lingxian Sect would treat Han Weishu well, be more tolerant, and carefully cultivate her.

She scanned the contents of the large box with her Divine Sense. It contained some Spirit Stone, about five hundred of them, as well as several stacks of common talismans and a small amount of medicinal herbs.

Since the sect leader was giving gifts for his daughter, it's unlikely that the money came from the sect's finances; therefore, it must have come from the sect leader's own private treasury.

So it seems the leader of the Clear River Sect actually dotes on his daughter?

After all, although the Lingxian Sect has had trading channels in recent years, the prices are cheap, and the various basic talismans and the like are limited in quantity, not unlimited. Therefore, the new income of the three major sects is very limited.

Furthermore, most of this revenue goes into the sect's treasury.

Therefore, it is conceivable that even the leader of the Clear River Sect would not be too comfortable with his finances.

But the fact that they took out so much just to prepare a token of gratitude for the daughter's entry into the sect shows how much the Clear River Sect leader loves his daughter.

Yang Jinshu naturally knew that her sect treated its new disciples very well. The gift from the Clear River Sect leader was not insignificant as a thank-you gift, but it wasn't too heavy either. So, after thinking about it, she accepted the gift.

They went through all that trouble to send it, so they definitely don't want it to be returned.

Besides, the Lingxian Sect and the Clear River Sect occasionally have exchanges, so this small gift isn't necessary. They can find another reason to return the favor next time.

Just when everyone thought it was over, Yu Jie pulled out another letter from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is a letter written by my master himself. I hope Elder Yang can help me pass it on to your sect Sect Master Lin."

Yang Jinshu reached out and took the envelope, discovering that although it was an ordinary object, its surface was covered with a layer of sealing Law Power.

"I will pass it on."

After handing over the letter, Yu Jie continued:

"This letter bears my master's seal. Please convey this to Sect Master Lin: it can be broken and opened simply by channeling Spiritual Power."

Yu Jie didn't mention was that this seal required a cultivation level of at least the Golden Core Stage to be opened with Spiritual Power.

After all, the leader of a sect should at least have the strength of the Golden Core Stage or above, so saying this sounds a bit disrespectful.

After the items were handed over, Yu Jie took his leave and returned to his sect.

Yang Jinshu did not ask the guest to stay.

It's because the Lingxian Sect doesn't allow outsiders to enter.

He politely escorted the person to the academy gate, then put the two boxes (one Dayi small) and a letter into his Storage Bag and took them back to his sect.

Through the Heart-Questioning Road, Yang Jinshu returned to her sect.

The Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree nearby were in full bloom. Yang Jinshu noticed a few fallen petals and leaves on the ground and was about to pick them up.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had missed something and looked up at a spot in the tree.

But amidst the profusion of peach blossoms, there was a patch of dense green.

That was the middle part of a branch.

There, however, no pink flowers, only green leaves and... three small, round fruits?!

"It's... the result is in." Yang Jinshu murmured involuntarily.

For the past three years, so many people have passed by this seemingly healthy and robust Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree tree, which has been blooming with peach blossoms every day, yet they have never seen it bear a single fruit!

Seeing this, she almost forgot about the things Clear River Sect. After beckoning the disciple on guard duty to deliver the small box to Han Weishu of Azure Cloud Peak, she immediately raised her hand and awkwardly used her Lock Ring to call for help.

The first person Yang Jinshu notified was Lin Xiao.

After all, he planted all Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree with his own hands; no one knew them better than him.

A moment later, Lin Xiao appeared under the Ten-Li Peach Blossom Tree at the entrance of the mountain road.

"Where is Aunt Yang? Where's the fruit?"

As Lin Xiao asked the questions, his eyes darted around.

Before Yang Jinshu could point him in the right direction, he had already spotted the three small, bright green fruits clustered together.

The fruit was covered with fine white fuzz.

It's really, really small.

Looking at them, Lin Xiao sighed, "It really came to an end..."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked it.

It's hanging quite tightly; it doesn't look like it'll fall off, and it might even grow longer.

I just don't know how long it will take for them to grow big enough to be eaten.
