My path to immortality was smooth sailing.

Xiaozhu Peak, located halfway up the mountain.

Following the old deacon through two mountain corridors, an area shrouded in a faint spiritual light came into view.

"Wow! Such rich spiritual energy!" Ma Liu was overjoyed, greedily inhaling the surrounding spiritual energy.

Wei Jing was also shocked. Was this a second-tier spiritual vein?

The spiritual energy here is at least 50-60% richer than that on Jade Stack Peak. Even if other conditions remain the same, the cultivation speed here is much faster than on Jade Butterfly Peak.

"Nephew Wei, take out your waist token, input your spiritual power to activate the formation, and enter the cave."

Wei Jing looked up and realized that the cave was covered by a series of array formations and restrictions.

Wei Jing activated his waist token, the formation dispersed, the mist before him gradually disappeared, and a small blue stone path slowly opened up.

The bluestone path is not long, only a few dozen steps, and both sides are planted with bamboo, the bamboo stalks as green as jade.

At the end of the path, after crossing a stone arch bridge, Wei Jing saw seven or eight deep, magnificent buildings.

The pavilions are built against the mountain, layer upon layer, arranged in a staggered and orderly manner. They have green tiles, white walls, and upturned eaves.

The open spaces are interspersed with exotic flowers and rare plants.

"What a huge cave!" Ma Liu swallowed hard. He never imagined that he would live in such a place in his life.

"Hehe, Junior Nephew Wei, although this cave dwelling has been vacant for a long time, people still come to take care of it, clean it, and plant some flowers, grass and other greenery on a regular basis," the old steward explained.

"I see." Wei Jing nodded and slowly walked inside.

These attic rooms include training rooms, living rooms, secluded meditation rooms, reception halls, martial arts training halls, and so on, making them fully equipped.

Wei Jing was extremely satisfied with this luxurious cave dwelling.

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Junior Nephew Wei. Then I'll take my leave. I still have my duty to do and can't leave the Hall of Transmission for too long."

"Please proceed, sir."

"Alright, there's one more servant left. He'll be back to report first thing tomorrow morning. Keep an eye on him, Junior Nephew Wei."

……

Although the cave dwelling is regularly cleaned and maintained, some details are still not done very well.

So Wei Jing took matters into his own hands, casting a series of cleaning spells, and after more than an hour, he finally cleaned the cave thoroughly, making it look much more comfortable.

"Liu Zi, from now on you will be responsible for regularly going to the General Affairs Hall to purchase the necessities for living in the cave, as well as welcoming and seeing off disciples from the sect who come to pay their respects."

"Okay." Ma Liu was overjoyed.

Isn't this the facade of the cave dwelling?

Wei Jing was focused on cultivation and didn't want to deal with the trivial matters of the sect. So when he went out and walked around the sect, it meant that he was acting on behalf of Wei Jing.

"Young Master Wei, rest assured, I have arranged everything inside and outside the manor perfectly." Ma Liu said, patting his chest.

Wei Jing nodded. Ma Liu was a bit clever and quick-witted, but sometimes he was too clever for his own good.

"By the way, you also need to keep an eye on all matters, big and small, inside and outside the sect, compile them into a record, and report to me once a month."

After assigning Ma Liu some tasks, Wei Jing went to the training room.

Cultivation cannot be neglected for even a day.

Wei Jing took out his inner disciple identification token and a jade slip.

Concentrate your mind and gather your energy, pouring spiritual power into your waist token, and your sect contribution value will be displayed on the token.

"One thousand sect contribution points, not bad." Wei Jing was quite satisfied. Back then, he, the clan leader Wei Shuo, and Wei Long had exchanged for spiritual weapons and elixirs in the Transmission Hall.

Knowing the purchasing power of this sect's contribution points.

"I didn't expect to get contribution points so soon after joining the sect. It's truly an unexpected windfall." Wei Jing nodded in satisfaction.

He then carefully examined the jade slip containing information about the benefits for inner disciples and the sect's rules and regulations.

The sect rules are generally quite lenient; as long as you don't do anything illegal or disorderly, the sect won't interfere too much.

"Inner disciples receive 500 sect contribution points each month." Wei Jing was taken aback.

If you accumulate those points over a year, wouldn't you have six thousand sect contribution points? Two years' worth of contribution points would be enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

That's a Foundation Establishment Pill!

The Foundation Establishment Pill, which all disciples dream of, can be obtained by being an inner disciple of the Qingfu Sect for two years without doing anything.

Wei Jing finally gained a concrete understanding of the Qingfu Sect's wealth and power.

"According to Hall Master Yang, the Qingfu Sect has more than fifty inner disciples. The contribution points spent on these inner disciples each year are a huge sum of money, not to mention the true disciples above the inner disciples."

But none of this mattered to Wei Jing, a newly initiated disciple. After memorizing the information in the jade slip, Wei Jing began his cultivation.

As the Yi Wood Gen Earth Technique was activated, the surrounding spiritual energy automatically gathered around it in an instant.

Moreover, three spirit-gathering arrays were inscribed in the training room. Now that the arrays were activated, they continuously gathered spiritual energy from the outside world.

In this way, Wei Jing's cultivation became twice as effective with half the effort.

Cultivation has no concept of time, and before he knew it, Wei Jing had been cultivating until early the next morning.

Now that he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, one could say that his cultivation level is quite high.

Normally, I don't feel tired even if I don't sleep for three or four days.

"Yesterday's cultivation effect was more than 30% better than cultivating on Jade Stack Peak. This is the benefit of cultivating in a sect." Wei Jing was in high spirits and prepared to go out early in the morning to head straight for the Transmission Hall.

He remembered that Yang Qingxuan had told him that he could enter and borrow books for free on the first three floors of the Transmission Hall.

Wei Jing naturally wanted to browse through the various books, cultivation methods, and spells treasured by the Qingfu Sect.

But as soon as he stepped out, he ran into the old steward from the Hall of Transmission of Skills from yesterday.

"Nephew Wei, this is Han Yue. I brought him here on purpose."

"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Steward," Wei Jing said politely.

This Han Yue was another servant in Wei Jingdong's residence.

The old deacon waved his hand and said, "Now that the person has been delivered, I should be going."

After watching the old steward leave, Wei Jing finally took a look at the second servant in his household.

Han Yue was in his forties and appeared to be a simple, honest man who rarely smiled.

He stood at the foot of the stone steps in front of the cave. He was not tall, only about five feet tall, but his shoulders and back were as broad as a door panel.

"Han Yue greets the master."

Han Yue performed a proper salute, bowing deeply to Wei Jing.

"No need for formalities. Just call me Young Master Wei, like Ma Liu did!"

Why talk about who owns the property? It makes him sound like a wealthy landlord in the secular world.

"Yes, Young Master Wei." Han Yue's words were extremely respectful.

However, he was over forty years old and only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, which meant he really didn't have much talent in cultivation.

"Han Yue, do you have any special skills?" Wei Jing asked.

"Young Master Wei, when I was young, I raised spirit fish in the Li family of cultivators. I have more than 20 years of breeding experience. After joining the Qingfu Sect, I did all sorts of odd jobs, such as raising fish, growing spirit rice, and cutting down phoenix trees." Han Yue's face was slightly swollen.

I don't have any special skills, and I'm destined to do hard and tiring work my whole life.

Wei Jing nodded and arranged for him to stay for the time being, saying that the specific arrangements would be discussed later.
