After Lu Xuan managed to enter the Nine Profound Sect, he obtained a cave dwelling and a position as a Nascent Soul Steward. This was the first time he had a place to stay after ascending to the Void Spirit Realm, and he could now cultivate in peace until he reached the Returning to the Void Realm.
The cave is very spacious, with a spirit lake nearby and herds of spirit beasts.
Along with dozens of servants in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, these were all gifts bestowed upon each Nascent Soul steward by the Nine Profound Sect.
Lu Xuan naturally accepted it with a smile.
As expected, his choice was right. Joining the Nine Profound Sect brought him many benefits. Not only did he no longer have to worry about cultivation resources for the time being, but he also had servants to feed his spirit beasts and look after his spirit garden. At this time, Lu Xuan was like a wealthy landlord, ordering people around and no longer having to do any of the trivial matters himself.
However, before Lu Xuan could quietly cultivate for a few days...
One of the guards then came and told Lu Xuan:
"Linghu Hai, one of the three vice sect leaders, heard that a cultivator from the lower realm has ascended to their Nine Profound Sect. Therefore, he wants to summon you, Lord Lu Xuan, to assess your potential and strength. If he takes a liking to you, he might accept you as his last disciple..."
"Oh, really? Vice Sect Master Linghu has so much free time. In that case, you can lead the way!"
"Yes, Lord Lu Xuan."
After the Golden Core stage guard led Lu Xuan to a palace inside a peculiar mountain peak within the Nine Profound Sect.
The guard said:
"Inside is Vice Sect Master Linghu's Dao Inquiry Hall!"
"Could this be the Hall of Inquiry, one of the Nine Halls?"
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's question, the guard who had led the way respectfully replied:
"Lord Lu Xuan, you are right. This is the most unique Dao Inquiry Hall among our Nine Halls, because Vice Sect Master Linghu here is also an elder in charge of transmitting skills for our Nine Profound Sect. This place houses countless scriptures and secret manuals from our Spirit Realm..."
"Alright, you can go now."
After dismissing the guard, Lu Xuan entered the Dao Inquiry Hall alone. The hall was magnificent, with guards at the Golden Core stage and above and beautiful maids standing on both sides. Spiritual energy swirled around the room, and the tables around the room were filled with spiritual teas and candied fruits that Lu Xuan had never heard of before.
"You're Lu Xuan, who recently ascended to the Spirit Realm from the Lower Realm?"
Upon hearing this dignified and aged voice, Lu Xuan looked up.
At the very back of the main hall was an ancient-looking screen, and the sound was coming from behind it. There, one could vaguely see an old man wearing a golden crown.
“My name is Lu Xuan. I have met Vice Sect Master Linghu. I am of mediocre talent and am not worthy of your concern, Vice Sect Master Linghu.”
Lu Xuan said politely, "I've heard that this Linghu Hai is an old fox who has cultivated for thousands of years. He is currently at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm and has experienced several Heavenly Tribulations. His cultivation is incredibly powerful. Apart from the Nine Profound Sect Master at the Integration stage, I'm afraid no one can contend with him."
"Hehe, young Lu, don't be afraid. The reason I called you here is because I also ascended from the lower realm."
"I see. Thank you for your concern, senior."
"Hmm, no problem, let me check your aptitude first!"
Before Lu Xuan could say anything, a powerful burst of spiritual light flashed and instantly imprisoned him, preventing him from using any magic power.
"It's actually the legendary flawless Dao bone! It seems I can live for several hundred more years, haha..."
