All things in nature are inherently in a passive state of being, but now, influenced by this gate tower, Shi Xuan was unknowingly drawn into it, entering a mysterious state.
After walking a few steps, the group noticed that Shi Xuan hadn't followed. They turned around and discovered that she had suddenly realized something!
While inwardly complaining about how his junior sister seemed to have an epiphany every time she saw a mountain gate, Lu Wenxing dutifully protected her.
Sudden enlightenment is rare, but it seems to be an exception for Shi Xuan. The disciples of Lianfeng Sword Sect have been trained by her and are no longer surprised by it, but the disciples of Fuyuan Sect are not.
The guiding elder and disciples stared in astonishment. What kind of monster was this?! Just passing by someone's sect and he wanted to have an epiphany? Was epiphany as simple as eating and drinking? None of the new disciples who had entered their Fuyuan Sect in the past three years had ever had an epiphany here. If the sect leader found out, he would probably be furious!
Since they weren't in a hurry, the group decided to rest on the spot and watch this rare moment of enlightenment.
Among the six sects of Qian Yuan, Fuyuan Sect has the most abundant spiritual energy, and even spiritual plants grow exceptionally well. Under such an environment, the life cycle of all things is accelerating, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushes in, allowing Shi Xuan to refine and utilize it at will.
The spiritual energy flowed into her body, filling her entire spiritual palace, and then flowed outwards, circulating repeatedly in her meridians. With each flush, the width of her meridians gradually increased, and their resilience was gradually forged into greater strength. After more than a month of passive cultivation, her spiritual palace was already quite full, accumulating enough energy, and all that was missing was a powerful, overwhelming pressure.
Now, this overwhelming spiritual force surged into her body, compressing the spiritual energy within her spiritual palace to its limit. Shi Xuan felt an intense soreness and swelling, as if something was about to burst forth from her body.
The pressure continued to increase, layer by layer, until suddenly, it broke through a thick barrier, and Shi Xuan immediately felt completely refreshed, all the discomfort from before vanishing instantly.
The spiritual energy continued to flow in, consolidating this hard-won third level of Qi Refining cultivation.
This moment of enlightenment did not last long; from entering a meditative state to breaking through and then consolidating the breakthrough, it only lasted for two hours.
The sect leader and elders of the Fuyuan Sect received the news immediately and gathered in front of the Qiankun Mirror to examine it. The more they looked, the more frustrated they became. How could such a promising talent have gone to the Lianfeng Sword Sect to refine pills? For three consecutive years, their orthodox cultivation sect had not received a single student who could achieve enlightenment upon entering the sect. It was truly lamentable!
When Xuan awoke from her meditation, she saw several cultivators who looked like Elder Li appear before her.
The leader asked, "Young friend, would you be interested in becoming a Dharma cultivator in my Fuyuan Sect? I will grant you the position of a disciple personally taught by the sect leader."
Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had just had an epiphany in front of someone else's mountain gate. All living things are good, except they love having epiphanies too much.
Shi Xuan politely cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your high regard, senior. I am now a disciple of the Lianfeng Sword Sect and possess the lowest spiritual value of five spiritual roots. I am really not the material for a magic cultivator."
The leader was none other than the sect master of the Fuyuan Sect. He was somewhat incredulous when he heard Shi Xuan's reply. How could a disciple with such comprehension only have the lowest value of five spiritual roots?
However, given her five spiritual roots, her ability to enter the Lianfeng Sword Sect and become its personal disciple suggests she possesses some undisclosed abilities. If she wished, the Fuyuan Sect would undoubtedly still accept her. Unfortunately, she seems quite determined and unwilling to switch sects.
Shi Mingxiu watched him go out to poach talent the whole time without stopping him. If there were disciples in the cultivation world who were fickle and only wanted to climb the social ladder, even if he could stop them for a while, he couldn't stop them forever.
He had always admired Shi Xuan's character.
Seeing that the sect leader of Fuyuan Sect had been refused, he laughed heartily and took a few steps forward. He then cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Lü, this disciple is unruly and does not deserve to be refused. Besides, the number of students from Fuyuan Sect each year is far superior to that of our Lianfeng Sword Sect. We are always envious when we talk about it. Why bother with one or two of them?"
Lu Changyi thought to himself, "How can this be the same? Although I have taken in many people, none of them have achieved enlightenment at the mountain gate when I tie them up."
Throughout history, the gates of each sect have been inscribed by their patriarchs, in accordance with the principles of the universe, concealing the core spirit of the sect within them. This allows them to select the most compatible disciples from the very beginning of their journey to the mountain.
The one they were most compatible with had already joined another sect, what a waste!
Lu Wenxing was somewhat displeased to see the sect leader snatch his junior sister without saying a word, but he knew that they were on someone else's territory, so he restrained his words. He pretended to be proud and muttered, "Our junior sister also achieved enlightenment at the sect gate in our Lianfeng Sword Sect."
It was said to be a muttering, but since everyone around was a cultivator, how could they not hear it?
The reaction of the Fuyuan Sect members at this moment was: Why don't you take her on a tour of each sect? Maybe she can successfully form her core.
The news spread quickly, and before long, the Shending Sect and Langya Sect, which had arrived ahead of time, learned about the enlightenment that a disciple of the Lianfeng Sword Sect had achieved at the Fuyuan Sect.
Fan Hongde looked at Fan Mingzhu with a hint of regret, wishing that the one who had this epiphany was his daughter.
“Mingzhu, if you have some free time before the Grand Alchemy Competition these days, you can go to the entrance of this sect to study it. Perhaps it will be an opportunity.”
Fan Mingzhu replied softly, "Yes, Father."
Fan Hongde sighed, "However, it all depends on fate. Our Divine Cauldron Sect has had people who have achieved enlightenment at the mountain gate. They are all top disciples who are extremely rare. You don't need to force it."
This is envy of other people's disciples. Fan Mingzhu was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face. She stepped forward and handed Fan Hongde a cup of tea, casually mentioning, "I heard that the disciple who had an epiphany at that mountain gate was a five-elemental root with very low spiritual value, and his cultivation level is only at the third level of Qi Refining?"
“Hmm,” Fan Hongde took the teacup, took a sip, and nodded, “In this respect, she can’t compare to you. Since you… your cultivation speed is among the best of your generation of disciples. In just two months, you have already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.”
Fan Mingzhu smiled sweetly, "It's all thanks to my father's planning."
"High comprehension doesn't necessarily mean good aptitude. Compared to you, she's still far behind." Since his daughter switched to a single fire spiritual root, her cultivation speed has increased by leaps and bounds, which has made him very satisfied.

The day after the Lianfeng Sword Sect arrived, the remaining two sects also arrived one after another.
The disciples from the six sects, along with their leaders, were all accommodated in separate courtyards. To fulfill its duty as host, the Fuyuan Sect announced that it would hold a welcome banquet that evening after everyone had arrived, so that the disciples from each sect could get to know each other before the competition.
Upon receiving this news, Lu Wenxing was the most excited. He always loved to join in the fun, and he was overjoyed to hear about this free meal and drink. He jumped up to Shi Xuan and said, "Junior Sister, wear the blue dress I gave you tonight! As the most beautiful girl in our Lianfeng Sword Sect, you can't let anyone steal your thunder!"
