This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Upon arriving at Qingyun Palace, they indeed saw the seven peak masters.

Li Daoxuan looked up and immediately saw through their cultivation levels.

They were all experts at the Ninth Heaven Realm.

A major sect with a history spanning thousands of years, its strength is indeed extraordinary.

Moreover, Li Daoxuan was certain that these peak masters were definitely not the most powerful force in the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Judging from the blood and vitality of the masters in the Ninth Heaven, it would be no problem for them to live for two or three hundred years.

Based on this calculation, the Cloud Sword Sect must have accumulated quite a few cultivators at the Ninth Heaven Realm over the past few thousand years.

The true essence of a sect is most likely not revealed in the public eye when dealing with these complex sect affairs.

Just like in his Taoist sect, Qingfeng, who was slightly less talented, became the sect leader and managed the operation of the sect, while Mingyue, who was more talented, stepped down to the second line and focused on cultivation, serving as the foundation of the sect.

There was also Zhu Jiu, who had even better aptitude and greater potential. Li Daoxuan did not assign him any tasks, but only instructed him to cultivate diligently and transform into a true dragon as soon as possible.

The Qingyun Sword Sect must be the same.

The seven peak masters quickly divided the newly recruited disciples into groups.

It is worth mentioning that Li Daoxuan was the least talented among these newly recruited inner disciples.

The rest of the people all had at least blue aptitude, several had purple aptitude, and one had purple-gold aptitude.

The disciple with the purple-gold aptitude was naturally chosen by the strongest Heavenly Sword Peak.

Those with the worst aptitude ended up at Sword Washing Peak.

Although Wash Sword Peak is one of the seven main peaks, its daily responsibility is to maintain and care for spirit swords.

Therefore, its status and strength are the lowest among the seven main peaks.

The peak master of Washing Sword Peak was a woman. Li Daoxuan did not know her name, but the others called her Elder Washing Sword.

This female elder was clearly someone who didn't like to worry about things.

Of the thirty inner disciples, none of the ones she was interested in were for her, and the only one she wasn't interested in was unwanted by everyone else, so they had to give him to her.

And what no one was interested in was naturally the imposter, Li Daoxuan.

Without saying a word, Elder Xijian turned and flew away.

In the end, there was no other way but for Gu Jiantang to pilot a small flying boat and take Li Daoxuan to Xijian Peak.

There are only a dozen or so disciples on Sword Washing Peak.

Including Elder Xijian, there are a total of three generations of disciples.

Gu Jiantang and Li Daoxuan were the third generation.

And so, Li Daoxuan successfully joined the Qingyun Sword Sect, becoming a prestigious yet somewhat awkward inner disciple.

This actually suits Li Daoxuan's wishes better.

Three days after joining the Sword Washing Peak, perhaps having already ascertained Li Daoxuan's background, Gu Jiantang finally reappeared.

They brought him a waist tag.

"Junior Brother Li, our senior uncles and elder brothers are all quite busy lately, and they probably won't have time to come and accept you as their disciple."

"Take this waist token and go to the first floor of the Sword Pavilion on the back mountain of Sword Washing Peak. Find a few introductory techniques to study. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me."

"In addition, we inner disciples can receive a certain number of spirit crystals every month. You can also take your waist token to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion to collect them."

"The rest is up to you..."

After giving his instructions, Gu Jiantang left.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but find it amusing. Those second-generation disciples of Washing Sword Peak weren't busy at all; they clearly looked down on Li Daoxuan's low aptitude and were unwilling to accept him as a disciple.

This saved him some trouble.

Li Daoxuan glanced at the waist token in his hand and immediately became interested.

Each main peak of the Qingyun Sword Sect has a sword pavilion, which is said to house nearly ten thousand volumes of kung fu and sword techniques manuals.

Although Li Daoxuan was a Taoist practitioner, reading more of these things would naturally be helpful.

Moreover, he plans to establish a lineage of Taoist teachings in the future, so the number of books in his sect will naturally be considerable.

This can be considered one of the reasons why he went to great lengths to infiltrate the Qingyun Sword Sect.

Holding the waist token, they arrived at the back mountain of Washing Sword Peak, where a five-story building indeed stood amidst a magnificent fairyland.

At a glance, Li Daoxuan could tell that there were many restrictions in the building.

Upon arriving at the entrance, the guard merely glanced coldly at Li Daoxuan's waist token before letting him pass.

As soon as Li Daoxuan stepped through the door, his eyes lit up.

The rows and rows of bookshelves were piled high with all kinds of books.

This is what Li Daoxuan truly wanted.

Upon casually flipping through the basics, I discovered that these books were not all about martial arts techniques and swordplay.

There are also many other types of martial arts styles.

The number of fists, palms, and weapons is countless.

In addition, there are many other miscellaneous books.

For example, there is the "Records of the People and Land of Lizhou", which records the local customs, landforms and cultural characteristics of Nanlizhou, and the "Records of the World's Affairs", which records the power of many major sects.

There are also historical records about the Xuanhuang Great World, the Records of Xuanhuang Mythical Beasts, the Miscellaneous Records of Tianbao, and so on...

Li Daoxuan was very satisfied. These things alone made his efforts to infiltrate the enemy camp worthwhile.

From that day on, Li Daoxuan practically lived in Jian Ge.

The disciples guarding him didn't care at all; the books on the first floor were open to all disciples to read without restriction.

It's just that few people are interested in these books. Everyone is busy honing their physique and practicing swordsmanship; who has the time to read those miscellaneous books?

This created a quiet environment for Li Daoxuan to read.

He was like a sponge, frantically absorbing the knowledge from these books.

Through these books, Li Daoxuan also gained a clearer understanding of the Xuanhuang Great World.

I will never make the same basic mistake again, like not even knowing what a spirit crystal is.

New inner disciples have a three-year development period during which the sect will not assign them any tasks.

This gave Li Daoxuan just the right amount of time to read in peace.

For more than a month afterward, Li Daoxuan hardly left his house, spending every day in the Sword Pavilion, where he read through all the thousands of books on the first floor.

Whether it's miscellaneous books or martial arts manuals, he doesn't miss a single one.

After closing the last book, Li Daoxuan let out a long sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the development of a sect couldn't rely solely on a few powerful individuals.

These books are the foundation. With these books, disciples of the sect can understand the world and comprehend many secrets and rules without leaving their homes.

When you travel the world in the future, you will naturally have more survival skills.

Li Daoxuan stood up, dusted off his sleeves, and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.

Going to the second floor is not difficult; you either need to reach the third level of cultivation or pay a certain amount of spirit crystals.

These were naturally not problems for Li Daoxuan.

Standing in a corner on the first floor, Li Daoxuan slowly adjusted his qi and blood, allowing his physique to reach the third level of the Heavenly Realm.

They then successfully passed through the barrier at the stairwell and entered the second floor.

The second floor has fewer books, but the quality is significantly higher.

Whether it's martial arts manuals or miscellaneous books, they are all far more advanced than those on the first floor.

The miscellaneous books on the first floor were mostly at the level of Nanli Prefecture, while on the second floor, the books contained detailed records of the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
