Qing Xuanzi walked over and stuffed the spirit herb in his hand into Leng Boyun's hand, his tone tinged with smugness: "Master, this time I not only found a mature spirit herb, but also two seedlings next to it."

"By the time I need them for my breakthrough, those two seedlings will have matured. That way, I'll have enough spiritual herbs for my breakthrough."

What he said is correct. Not to mention that there are two more plants in Rong Jiaojiao's treasure, even without those two plants, I believe that by the time he cultivates to the peak of the Earth Master realm, the two plants in the valley should have matured.

Leng Boyun then refrained from returning the spirit herb. He opened the box and examined it closely. It was indeed the Hidden Spirit Herb. A look of joy flashed in his eyes: "In that case, I will accept it. With this spirit herb, I will soon be able to break through to the Celestial Master Realm and contribute to our sect."

Qing Xuanzi smiled and nodded: "Master, just use it. After you break through, you will be a support for me and Jiaojiao."

Leng Boyun carefully put away the jade box, then looked at Rong Jiaojiao and laughed, "Even without breaking through, I can still be a support for Jiaojiao."

"Jiaojiao, you must cultivate diligently in the sect from now on, and do not let down your master and grandmaster's expectations of you. If anyone bullies you, come and tell the grandmaster, and the grandmaster will help you fight back."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Grandmaster, I understand. I will definitely cultivate diligently."

Leng Boyun nodded in satisfaction, then said to Qing Xuanzi, "Little Xuanzi, take Jiaojiao to familiarize herself with the sect's environment. If she needs any help, just let me know."

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Okay, thank you, Master. We'll be going now."

The master and disciple came out of the main hall. Qing Xuanzi led Rong Jiaojiao to his residence, introducing her to the situation of Xuanqing Sect as they walked.

He pointed to a towering mountain on the left and said, "That is the main peak of the Xuanqing Sect—Qingyun Peak. The summit is the residence of the sect leader and several elders, and it is also the core area of ​​the sect. The sect's most important books and treasures are stored there, and ordinary people cannot enter easily."

Rong Jiaojiao looked up at Qingyun Peak, her eyes filled with awe: "Can we go up there?"

Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly: "We can go up, but we'll have to wait until your grandmaster is free before we go up to see him."

They continued on their way, and Qing Xuanzi pointed to a vast bamboo forest on the right and said, "That is the Green Bamboo Forest, a place that disciples of our Xuanqing Sect often visit. There is a clear spring in the bamboo forest, with sweet and clear water that can also aid in cultivation. Many disciples like to cultivate or rest there."

Rong Jiaojiao looked at the bamboo forest with curiosity, as if she could already see herself cultivating there in the future.

She asked, "It sounds amazing. Will Jiaojiao go there to train in the future?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded and continued, "Follow this path, and you will see a huge lake, Xuanqing Lake. The lake is unfathomably deep and contains many spirit fish that taste quite good. Many disciples like to go fishing there. There is a beach by the lake, which is a good place for disciples to play and relax."

Rong Jiaojiao listened intently, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Master, when can we go to Xuanqing Lake?"

Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "You'll be living here from now on, so there will be plenty of opportunities to go. We're not in a hurry."

Rong Jiaojiao said "Oh" and continued to follow Qing Xuanzi around, looking around like a country bumpkin.

They continued walking, and Qing Xuanzi pointed to a majestic mountain in the distance and said, "That is Spirit Herb Peak, where our Xuanqing Sect cultivates spiritual herbs. The peak is full of precious spiritual herbs and trees, a treasure trove for alchemists. However, there are strict restrictions there, and you cannot enter without permission."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded, carefully memorizing the places: "I've got them, Master. Are there any other fun places in our Xuanqing Sect?"

Qing Xuanzi thought for a moment and said, "There's another place you'll definitely like, and that's the library. The library contains cultivation manuals, techniques, and all sorts of strange tales left behind by the sect's founders throughout the ages. It's a treasure trove for every disciple, and you can learn a lot there."

Rong Jiaojiao's eyes lit up: "That sounds amazing! Master, when are we going to the library?"

Seeing her excited expression, Qing Xuanzi chuckled and said, "Don't rush this. You can go after you can read."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded obediently: "Master, I understand. I will definitely study hard."

They walked and talked, and soon arrived at Qing Xuanzi's residence. This was the right peak, closer to the main peak. Qing Xuanzi's residence was a simple and rustic courtyard, surrounded by lush bamboo, making it exceptionally tranquil.

Qing Xuanzi pushed open the courtyard gate and led Rong Jiaojiao inside.

“This is my residence, and it will be your home from now on,” Qing Xuanzi said. “Although it’s not very big, it’s quiet and suitable for cultivation.”

Rong Jiaojiao looked around curiously. The courtyard was filled with various flowers and plants, as well as a tall sycamore tree whose shade cast cool shadows on the ground.

In the corner of the yard there is a small pond with several goldfish swimming happily in it.

"Master, this place is so beautiful!" Rong Jiaojiao couldn't help but exclaim.

Qing Xuanzi smiled slightly: "I'm glad you like it. This will be your home from now on. You can cultivate and rest here, and you can also plant your favorite flowers and plants here."

He led Rong Jiaojiao into a side room, which was simply furnished but exuded a warm atmosphere.

A large wooden bed was placed in the corner of the room, and next to the bed was a small bookshelf filled with various cultivation manuals.

Qing Xuanzi said, "Starting tomorrow, your master will arrange for you to go to the school to learn to read with your senior brothers and sisters. Once you can read, you can go to the library to read books and practice your magic."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded and said earnestly, "Master, I will study hard!"

Qing Xuanzi looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "I believe you can do it."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded obediently. She sat on the edge of the bed, looking at everything in the room, her heart filled with warmth and wonder.

She knew that from now on, this would be her second home.

"Master, thank you."

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "You've been tired these past few days. Release Zi Ling and rest for a while. Master will take Zi Ling and Xiao Jin to register."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded, took out the spirit beast pouch from her waist, and with a gentle shake, a sable fell out.

As soon as it landed on the ground, it shook its head vigorously and then squeaked in protest at Rong Jiaojiao.
