Chapter 102
Inside a serene and rustic room.
Lu Xuan placed several items on the table, carefully examining them.
It had been two days since he formally entered the Sky Sword Sect.
Although his talent was average, at less than twenty years old, possessing cultivation at the eighth level of Qi, he was firmly established among the middle-ranking cultivators who applied. Backed by the assurance of the Green Cloud Token, he easily entered the Sky Sword Sect.
As an outer disciple of the Sky Sword Sect, along with others, he gathered in a spacious square to listen to the Sect Master's guidance. Subsequently, they received the essential items for newly admitted outer disciples.
The items mainly consisted of two standard robes embroidered with simple runes for dust and water resistance, along with a standard flying sword of second-tier quality, slightly inferior to the second-tier sword grass Lu Xuan held.
Moreover, the most crucial item was a black inscribed plaque integrated with a drop of Lu Xuan's essence, closely linking it to him.
This identity plaque represented the cultivator's status, allowing free movement within the sect and access to most areas, also recording the disciple's sword marks.
Additionally, new disciples could exchange this identity plaque at the Scripture Pavilion for one cultivation technique and two elemental techniques, limited to the Qi cultivation stage.
Advanced techniques or other skills required either instruction from higher-level cultivators or exchange with sword marks.
After receiving these essentials, Lu Xuan, guided by fellow cultivators, selected his cave residence within the designated area of the sect.
Each outer disciple could choose their cave residence within certain limits of area and size.
After a day of careful inspection, Lu Xuan finally chose a secluded cave residence on a tall mountain peak.New novel chapters are published on
The cave residence was relatively remote, with few fellow disciples residing nearby.
At its center stood a courtyard with a meditation room for Lu Xuan's practice, along with an alchemy room and a crafting room for simple elixirs and artifacts.
As explained by a senior disciple who once owned this cave residence, it previously belonged to a talented outer disciple who, several years ago, advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, entering the inner sect.
Afterward, the cave residence lay vacant due to its remote location, yet no other Sky Sword Sect cultivator had chosen it.
And now, with an area close to six acres, natural springs and wells, and constructed animal pens, not to mention the concentration and purity of spiritual energy, the safety was beyond comparison.
The monumental changes left Lu Xuan with a surreal feeling. Taking a deep breath, a surge of determination filled him.
"With such a great cave residence, it's embarrassing not to produce something worthwhile!"
Adjusting his mindset, he retrieved the Life-Preservation Bag.
Countless spiritual plants and beasts had been inside the Life-Preservation Bag for a full month!
First to emerge was the Cloud-Stepping Lynx. Its heavy paws landed on the ground as it observed its surroundings with serene emerald eyes. Seemingly discontent, it, usually vocal in front of Lu Xuan, remained unusually silent.
Aware that it had spent a long time in the dark and chaotic Life-Preservation Bag, Lu Xuan softly reassured and gently tugged at the lynx's ear tufts of gray-white fur.
"Meow..."
The Lynx, with its rugged voice, grunted and elegantly walked away, familiarizing itself with the cave residence.
Following that was the Grass Puppet, seemingly bewildered from its time in the Life-Preservation Bag. Many gray grass strands were tangled together.
As soon as it touched the ground, the massive tangle of gray grass began to rotate its head ceaselessly. It seemed surprised by the drastic changes in the spiritual fields it had patrolled countless times before.
With its simplistic intelligence, it couldn't adapt to such immense changes, remaining stationary as the entangled grass slowly untangled itself.
Four Iron-Clawed Crab juveniles landed on the ground, one of them lying belly-up, using its large blackish-green pincers like a big knife to flip itself over.
Though they maintained vitality fairly well during their time in the Life-Preservation Bag, a period without care had left them visibly lean. Even their pincers seemed weaker when opening and closing.
Sensing the location of the spiritual spring, all four crabs simultaneously scuttled into the spring, hiding under the peculiar stones.
Nourished by rich spiritual energy, they immediately perked up, brandishing their sharp pincers high. Their raised eye stalks seemed disdainful.
Seeing the defiant behavior of the crabs, Lu Xuan finally relaxed.
