The Xuanling Heart Sutra is a Heart Sutra that every outer disciple of the Xuanling Sect possesses, and it is also the foundational Heart Sutra for all Xuanling Sect disciples.
This Xuanling Heart Sutra is enough for Xuanling Sect disciples to cultivate from Qi Induction to Foundation Establishment.
Su Qing quickly glanced through it and found that this Profound Spirit Heart Sutra was no worse than the Supreme Heart Sutra in her hands. Moreover, this was an abridged version of the Profound Spirit Heart Sutra. If she could obtain the complete version, it would definitely be considered a top-grade heart sutra.
Su Qing felt overwhelmed by the happiness she had received.
Huh, there's something else?
Finally, when Su Qing took out a magical artifact from her storage bag, her hands trembled.
Good heavens, do all outer disciples of the Xuanling Sect receive a magic weapon?
"Su Qing, you were the first to pass the Heavenly Ladder test this time. This is a prize from the sect," the senior disciple explained.
Oh, it's a prize. I thought everyone would get one.
However, this is still shocking enough.
You must know that this is a magical artifact; this sword is enough for her to use until she successfully establishes her foundation.
Su Qing quickly thanked him and played with the sword in her hand. Although the sword was just ordinary Xuan Tong wood, Su Qing could still tell that the sword contained demon crystals.
It's just unknown what kind of demon crystal it's infused with.
Su Qing saw three words on the hilt of the sword: Purple Fire Sword.
It seems that the sword contains the Purple Fire Demon Crystal.
Su Qing made a sword incantation with her hands and swung it around a few times. Suddenly, the originally black Purple Fire Sword was tinged with a faint purple flame.
"What a fine sword!" Su Qing's eyes lit up.
In her previous life, she wasn't so lucky. Before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she used an ordinary iron sword. It wasn't until after she reached the Foundation Establishment stage that she obtained a magical artifact.
Unexpectedly, I've already obtained a magic weapon so soon after entering the sect. The great sects are truly generous!
"Su Qing!"
Hearing Yun Luoyan's voice, Su Qing turned her head and saw Yun Luoyan heading towards the disciples. Su Qing sheathed her Purple Fire Sword and waved, saying, "Yun Luoyan, come quickly!"
There were only a few outer disciples left in line. After waiting for a while, Yun Luoyan also received her storage bag.
"Wow, ten low-grade spirit stones and a bottle of spirit-restoring pills, and I get them every month! This is just too wonderful!" Yun Luoyan was also incredibly excited.
Finally, she pulled out a magical artifact, which turned out to be a sword.
Both are made of Xuan Tong wood and are entirely black, except that the hilt is inscribed with "Green Water Sword".
A sword with water attributes?
Yun Luoyan drew the Green Water Sword and swung it twice; sure enough, the sword was enveloped in a thin layer of green mist.
Unexpectedly, the swords made of Xuan Tong wood were actually from the same series, as their attributes varied greatly due to the inclusion of different demon crystals.
"Junior sisters, take a look at mine!" Bai Xiao said, taking out his own sword.
It is also a magical artifact made of Xuan Tong wood, but the words on the hilt are "Ochre Sword".
It's obvious at a glance that it's an earth-elemental sword.
Bai Xiao brandished the sword twice, and the blade was enveloped in a layer of ochre-colored earth elemental energy. It seemed that this was a sword forged by a weapon refiner according to the Five Elements.
"The weapon refiners of the Xuanling Sect really know how to have fun," Su Qing exclaimed.
“Uncle, it seems you have an earth-type spiritual root,” Yun Luoyan said.
"Hey, we're fellow disciples now, why are you calling me 'uncle'? You should call me 'senior brother' from now on," Bai Xiao said, dissatisfied.
Yun Luoyan laughed.
Bai Xiao snorted coldly and said, "I have the three spiritual roots of earth, wood, and metal."
The other outer disciples of the Xuanling Sect looked on with envy at the swords in the hands of the three. "Wow, the top three in the Heavenly Ladder Trial actually get magical artifacts! If only we had known, we would have fought tooth and nail to get into the top three..."
Um, forget about first and second place.
Remembering how easily Su Qing and Yun Luoyan moved during the first trial, everyone quickly shook their heads.
But getting third place...
Looking at Bai Xiao's muscular physique and his precocious face—claiming to be fifteen but looking like he was twenty-five—everyone shook their heads again.
Let's forget about it. No matter how hard we try, getting into the top three is still beyond their reach.
Liu Xuan looked at the three of them with envy. She had been a disciple for eight years and was only given a magic weapon after being chosen by Elder Shui Qingchen.
In previous years, many disciples passed the Heavenly Ladder test, but not every year a disciple could receive the Heavenly Ladder test reward. This year, the top three were all from this group, which is truly rare.
"Let me take you to the Xuanling Sect's dining hall," Liu Xuan said.
Su Qing was shocked; there was even a cafeteria!
As expected of a major sect.
“We are all in the Qi Refining stage, so we can’t completely abstain from grains yet. We usually eat at the canteen, which is more convenient,” Liu Xuan said.
"Isn't it about taking a fasting pill?" Bai Xiao asked.
"When you're in seclusion for cultivation, you naturally take fasting pills, but since there are many outer disciples in the Xuanling Sect, everyone still wants to satisfy their cravings, so the sect has set up a canteen for the outer disciples," Liu Xuan explained.
That's really great.
Su Qing's eyes lit up.
"Our Xuanling Sect's canteen uses ingredients such as spirit rice, first-tier spirit herbs, and demon beast meat. After cooking, it is not only delicious, but also enhances spiritual power, which is much better than the Bigu Pill. Some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators will come to the canteen to eat. If there is third-tier demon beast meat, even the elders will come to the canteen to dine."
Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.
Su Qing and the other two followed Liu Xuan toward the sect's dining hall, their mouths watering the whole way.
Even before you arrive, you can smell the rich aroma of food.
"Our Xuanling Sect has cultivated tens of millions of acres of spirit fields on the mountain. These fields absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the food extremely delicious. We also have tens of millions of first-tier spirit chickens, spirit ducks, spirit geese, spirit sheep, spirit pigs, and spirit cattle, whose meat is extremely tender and delicious. Sometimes, disciples also send us demon beasts that they have hunted outside, but the meat of those demon beasts is too tough, and the taste is not quite as good."
As expected of the Xuanling Sect, one of the five major sects, the benefits are so good. No wonder the spots for outer disciples are so fiercely contested.
Thinking back to her past in the Cloud Sword Sect in her previous life, Su Qing felt a heartache that she couldn't bear to recall.
In this cultivation environment, Su Qing felt that even for a cultivator with three spiritual roots, three years to reach Foundation Establishment was a bit too slow. Oh, I'm sorry, Senior Sister Liu Xuan, I didn't mean to imply anything about you!
It was just then, the time when the Xuanling Sect's dining hall was distributing breakfast, and Su Qing realized that the dining hall didn't provide food for free; it required spirit stones to purchase it.
With one spirit stone, Su Qing bought three spirit eggs, two bowls of spirit grain porridge, and a plate of stir-fried spirit pork with spirit herbs.
It's so delicious!
Su Qing enjoyed the breakfast, feeling the spiritual energy emanating from her stomach and spreading throughout her internal organs as she ate the food.
This kind of spiritual energy tempering makes the internal organs feel warm and nourished.
Su Qing simply sat cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate her cultivation technique, guiding the spiritual energy into her meridians. Finally, after circulating through her meridians and in her dantian, it transformed into a faint wisp of spiritual power.
Su Qing felt a sense of lightness throughout her body, and there was no discomfort anywhere on her body.
If she could come here every day to eat a spiritual meal, it would definitely be of great benefit to her cultivation.
