Lingjian Peak, halfway up the mountain.
"Young friend, I'm so sorry!"
Feng Qianye arrived with apologies. He was furious upon receiving the message from the junior, as no one knew Qin Luo's terrifying power better than him.
Qin Luo cupped his hands and said, "Senior, the disciple who made the mistake has been punished, so you don't need to blame yourself. However, when selecting disciples in the future, character will also be very important."
“Young friend is right. In the past, the Spirit Sword Sect only looked at aptitude when recruiting disciples, without examining their character and morality. In the future, the Spirit Sword Sect’s sect assessment will be even more rigorous.”
Feng Qianye said with a serious expression.
Xue Jingyuan bowed and said, "Sect Master, Daoist Qin wants to give Zhang Fan a chance to cultivate immortality. What do you think?"
"Granted!"
Feng Qianye didn't even think about it.
"I'll go arrange it right away!"
Xue Jingyuan turned and left, arranging for the menial disciples to become outer disciples. He didn't need to ask the sect leader for permission to do this, but the pressure of being around Qin Luo and the others was too great.
Feng Qianye looked at the flower shadow beside Qin Luo, which was like a dazzling sun, hard to look directly at. This was definitely an existence that the Spirit Sword Sect could not provoke. He quickly bowed and paid his respects.
The flower shadow nodded.
Qin Luo introduced them with a smile: "This is A Zi, and these are Xuan Qing and Xiao Die. They are all my friends."
Xiaodie's eyes were filled with emotion. She wanted to be Daoye's servant, but Daoye treated her as a friend.
Feng Qianye looked at Xuan Qing and Xiao Die. They looked well-behaved and cute, but they exuded a powerful aura, like two ancient ferocious beasts. If he encountered them, he would definitely take a detour. How dare the juniors of the Spirit Sword Sect take the initiative to cause trouble for them?
"It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple; we're all family and we don't even recognize each other. I'll punish myself with three cups first. Everyone, please follow me!" Feng Qianye extended his hand in invitation.
Qin Luo and the others followed Feng Qianye toward the mountain peak.
Xue Jingyuan returned to the mountain gate.
Zhang Fan had just finished cleaning up the area when he saw Xue Jingyuan return. He bowed and said, "Elder Xue."
"This is for you."
Xue Jingyuan took out a white jade bottle.
Zhang Fan was at a loss. He reached out and took the white jade bottle with both hands, and asked respectfully, "Elder Xue, what is this?"
Xue Jingyuan said indifferently, "This contains Foundation Establishment Pills. Take it back and take it."
"Thank you, Elder Xue."
Zhang Fan knelt on the ground in excitement.
The Foundation Establishment Pill can enable cultivators in the Qi Refining stage to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Zhang Fan is stuck in the Qi Refining stage and cannot break through. With this Foundation Establishment Pill, he will be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"You don't need to thank me. You should thank Master Qin from earlier. He wanted to give you a chance." Xue Jingyuan said indifferently, not understanding why Qin Luo valued him.
Zhang Fan looked up at the direction of the summit of Lingjian Peak, his eyes filled with gratitude. Xue Jingyuan said indifferently, "What are you still standing here for?"
"Elder, I haven't finished my work for today."
"From now on, you will be an outer disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, and you will no longer need to do any work."
Zhang Fan lowered his head and said, "Elder Xue, can I finish today's work?"
"Whatever you want."
Xue Jingyuan was getting impatient. After all, he was a cultivator who broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage by relying on Foundation Establishment Pills. He would never achieve much in his life, so it wasn't worth wasting his time.
After watching Xue Jingyuan leave, Zhang Fan first laughed excitedly, then burst into tears. He quickly wiped away his tears, his gaze hardened, and finally he smiled calmly.
In an instant, his experiences over the years flashed through his mind. Zhang Fan picked up the broom and began to wield it. He had mastered this set of basic sword moves to a high degree.
......
Spirit Sword Peak, the palace atop the mountain.
Outside the palace, clouds drifted and swirled; inside, the palace shone with golden splendor. Qin Luo and his companions sat in the seats of honor, while a beautiful female elder poured them wine.
"Young friend, I'll punish myself with three cups first!"
Feng Qianye drank three cups in succession to express his apology. Qin Luo smiled and asked, "Sect Leader Feng, how is Chen Jianyi?"
"Chen Jianyi is currently in seclusion. Thanks to my young friend, he is making great strides in the field of swordsmanship."
Feng Qianye's eyes were full of pride. He said with emotion, "He should be able to surpass us. The main reason is that he helped us three times. I'll have three more drinks."
"It was just a small favor."
Qin Luo chuckled.
After finishing three cups of wine, Feng Qianye frowned slightly and said with a serious expression, "Back then, when the Supreme Elder returned from the capital, he talked to me about that fierce battle. The Supreme Elder bluntly said that the gap was too big, and he didn't even have the chance to face the Heavenly Dao Avatar directly. He couldn't even withstand a single move."
"Fortunately, with Master Qin's help, our Supreme Elder was able to escape with his life. One is the pillar of our Spirit Sword Sect, and the other is the hope for the revival of our Spirit Sword Sect. Young friend, you have done us a great service to the Spirit Sword Sect. How could such a thing happen near the Spirit Sword Sect? I am truly..." Feng Qianye suddenly slapped himself as he spoke.
"Senior brother!"
The elder standing nearby was quite frightened.
Qin Luo picked up his wine glass and smiled to ease the atmosphere, "Senior, let's let this matter rest. Let's drink, let's drink."
"Okay, let's drink."
Feng Qianye smiled and raised his wine glass.
After finishing the wine, Qin Luo felt a warmth spreading through his body, with a radiant glow emanating from him. "Senior, this wine is something special, isn't it?"
Feng Qianye nodded with a smile, "This is a celestial wine treasured by the Supreme Elder. He obtained it when he attained the Dao of Sword Immortal. It is a rare delicacy from the Immortal Realm, something that is hard to come by in the mortal world."
No wonder.
The immortal brew was quite good, but Qin Luo felt it was a waste, as his body couldn't retain spiritual substances.
Xuanqing also wanted to taste the immortal wine, but with Qin Luo by his side, he dared not drink it.
Qin Luo looked at Xuan Qing and Xiao Die, "This wine is good, you can have some, I won't drink any."
