The old man's breathing was steady yet extremely strong.

With each breath, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth will notice some changes.

"This old man is no ordinary person. Although his aura is still at the Yuan Dan realm, he seems to have already comprehended the domain and is only half a step away from entering the Dharma Aspect realm." Dan Qing's words also surfaced in Qin Xin's mind.

Now that they were in Zhongzhou, it was not the Eastern Wilderness. In order to avoid being discovered by powerful figures, Danqing stopped speaking after reminding Qin Xin, so as to avoid the fluctuations of his spiritual body being detected.

Compared to Daqingshan, Tuocang Mountain can be described as a barren land.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was much thinner, and there were very few martial artists coming and going.

The plaza atop Tuocang Mountain is enormous, and it is adorned with numerous statues, some humanoid and others animaloid, though all appear to have decayed due to their age.

In addition, due to the lack of cleaning over a long period of time, many of these statues have cracked, and some grass and branches have grown out of the cracks. This made Qin Xin feel uneasy and somewhat doubtful about the so-called foundation of the Tianxuan Sect.

After entering Zhongzhou, Qin Xin naturally inquired about the Tianxuan Sect. A thousand years ago, the entire Yunxi Domain could be said to have only the Tianxuan Sect. However, all the powerful figures in the Tianxuan Sect seemed to have vanished overnight, and the sect gradually declined afterward.

Fortunately, the Tianxuan Sect had a rising star, who is now the sect leader. He single-handedly protected the Tianxuan Sect's foundation in the Central Continent, thus preventing the sect's lineage from being cut off. However, some of the former territories have been divided up by the various families and sects.

As for the grudges between the Tianxuan Sect and the Xuantian Sword Sect, it seems that there has always been a grudge between them, like a blood feud. Qin Xin tried to find out, but the martial artists in Zhongzhou dared not say anything when they heard about the grudges between the two sects.

After strolling around the square, Qin Xin finally found the location of the Tianxuan Sect – Tianxuan Mountain.

Xuanshan Mountain is located next to Tuocang Mountain. Its peaks soar into the clouds, and even standing on the square of Tuocang Mountain, one can still be awestruck by the majestic momentum of the mountain range.

Just as Qin Xin was about to leave Kaituo Cangshan for Tianxuanshan.

The old beggar lying on the ground stretched and walked towards Qin Xin from beside the teleportation array.

Qin Xin sensed the aura emanating from the old beggar and dared not be careless; his martial spirit had already been quietly activated.

The old beggar suddenly grinned at Qin Xin, revealing a pair of white teeth, and then said loudly, "You must be Qin Xin, right?"

Qin Xin was slightly surprised to find that the old beggar recognized him. Just as he was about to speak, his spatial ring fluctuated, and the token that Hong Ye had given him earlier flew out.

And it fell directly into the hands of that old beggar.

"I didn't expect that Hong Ye would actually value you. That guy has a very discerning eye." The old beggar played with the token, a smile appearing at the corner of his eye.

This series of events left Qin Xin somewhat bewildered, and he cautiously inquired, "May I ask who you are, senior?"

After hearing Qin Xin's question, the old beggar finally realized, "I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Sanbao, and most people call me Old Man Sanbao. I am an elder of the Tianxuan Sect."

"So it's Elder Sanbao. Please forgive my rudeness," Qin Xin quickly bowed politely to Elder Sanbao.

The Three Treasures Elder shook his head and said, "In the Heavenly Profound Sect, there aren't so many formalities. Everything is based on strength. I see you're already in your early twenties, and you've only just reached the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm. Your talent is far too ordinary; it's completely insufficient in my Heavenly Profound Sect. I really don't understand why Hong Ye would take a liking to you."

"It's really a headache."

Although Qin Xin felt somewhat embarrassed by what the old man Sanbao said, he knew that there were many people in Zhongzhou who had reached the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm at his age, and many of them had even entered the Yuanfu Realm at his age.

However, the old man in front of him kept looking Qin Xin up and down as he spoke, as if he was testing him.

Because of his keen spiritual sense, Qin Xin smiled knowingly and said very politely, "Senior's encouragement is my encouragement, and I will certainly work hard."

The Three Treasures Elder actually greatly admired Qin Xin's talent for cultivation. He could sense that although Qin Xin was at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm, the strength of his Qi Sea surpassed that of other martial artists of the same level.

Moreover, Qin Xin, despite his young age, exuded an air of maturity and possessed remarkable composure. Most young martial artists, after being humiliated by him, would leave Tuocang Mountain in shame.

"Hmm, not bad. Congratulations on passing my test. Tianxuan Sect welcomes you to join us." The Three Treasures Elder suddenly smiled and nodded, saying to Qin Xin.

Faced with the sudden change in attitude from the old man Sanbao, Qin Xin's forehead creased with annoyance. "Uh..."

The old man Sanbao then said with a smile, "Although the Tianxuan Sect is very free, it is very strict in recruiting disciples. It doesn't matter if you have mediocre talent, but you must have enough willpower. You just happen to meet the requirements."

"Moreover, you were invited to join by Hong Ye, who has such high standards, so there must be something about you that he is very interested in."

"However, Hong Ye probably won't be back for several years, so I'll guide you through the basics."

The old man, Sanbao, patiently explained.

Qin Xin nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."

Elder Sanbao smiled and said, “Now that you have joined my Tianxuan Sect, you can call me Elder Sanbao from now on. Tianxuan Sect does not have any such thing as apprenticeship. Apart from the elders and sect leader, all other disciples are fellow disciples. There is no distinction of rank. You will know this after you enter Tianxuan Mountain.”

Qin Xin was somewhat curious about the Tianxuan Sect after hearing the introduction from the Three Treasures Elder, because he knew that some sects and families had very strict distinctions in the status and position of their disciples, but the Tianxuan Sect did not have these things, which made it very unique.

With a casual wave of his hand, Elder Sanbao made Qin Xin feel his feet were incredibly light, as if a special force was lifting him up. Under Elder Sanbao's guidance, the two slowly flew towards Tianxuan Mountain.

From the air, Qin Xin also saw the entire Tianxuan Mountain.

The entire mountain range is magnificent, with many huge rocks standing on it. Among the rocks, there are some flowers, trees and shrubs, as well as many pavilions and towers.
