God-Slaying Blade

On the other side, Dongfang Lan led Qin Jue to the mountainside and entered Xianyun Courtyard, one of the twelve courtyards.

The Suyun Sect has many cultivation techniques that have been passed down to this day, but the main ones are the twelve techniques inherited from the twelve academies.

Disciples who meet the requirements for entering the inner sect will be assigned to one of the academies for cultivation based on their talent or personal wishes.

Xianyun Academy is not a courtyard, but rather an academy-like institution with a complex of buildings covering a vast area. It includes multiple areas such as a training hall, a martial arts field, accommodation, and seclusion rooms.

Upon entering Xianyun Courtyard, Dongfang Lan smiled and said, "Elder Qin, this is my Xianyun Courtyard. Ever since Qingmeng said that Elder Qin was willing to become an elder of my sect, I have had my disciples prepare a courtyard for you. Now Elder Qin can move in directly. However, the conditions here are a bit simple, and I hope Elder Qin will not find them offensive."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Elder Dongfang, you're too kind. A place to stay is fine."

"Elder Qin, this is your courtyard just ahead." Dongfang Lan chuckled and pointed to a courtyard not far ahead, with a towering banyan tree at the entrance.

From a distance, the courtyard looked quite large; it was a two-section siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) covering an area of ​​about one acre.

"Elder Dongfang, this doesn't look simple at all. Is it really appropriate for a nominal elder like me to live in such a nice courtyard?" Qin Jue said with a smile.

Dongfang Lan said half-jokingly, "If Elder Qin feels it's a pity to leave the place empty, then come and stay often, and give some guidance to the disciples in the academy when you have time. Elder Qin may not know, but nowadays the disciples of Xianyun Academy are all striving to cultivate with you as their role model."

Qin Jue chuckled and said, "Setting such high standards means you're bound to suffer a lot."

Dongfang Lan was taken aback. This Elder Qin was not modest at all.

Although Qin Jue was joking, it was indeed quite difficult for the disciples of Xianyun Academy, who cultivated martial arts techniques, to catch up with him.

The path of martial arts is not something that can be achieved by simply working hard enough to enter the Spirit Realm at the age of nineteen.

Without the God-Slaying Blade and Liu Qingxue, even with Qin Jue's extraordinary talent and sufficient resources, he could only cultivate to the Grandmaster realm at most!

Too many factors influence a person's future; excellence in one aspect alone cannot determine everything.

Amidst their laughter and conversation, the two arrived at the courtyard.

Dongfang Lan took out a key and smiled, "It contains most of the commonly used items. If you need anything else, just let Qingmeng know later."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Okay."

Dongfang Lan smiled and said, "Then Elder Qin, please go in and rest. I'll take my leave now."

The two parted ways in front of the courtyard. Qin Jue unlocked the gate and entered the courtyard.

After looking around, Qin Jue was quite satisfied with the courtyard.

"I didn't expect the Suyun Sect to be so kind. It wasn't for nothing that I returned the storage ring to them." Qin Jue smiled.

Actually, it doesn't matter if Qin doesn't return it, since the people who stole their storage rings were Chen Mingdao and Su Dingye.

Qin Jue also obtained the storage ring from Chen Mingdao and Su Dingye through his own strength.

In the world of martial arts, there is not much civilization to speak of. Most of the world's resources just go around in circles and end up in the pockets of the stronger.

Qin Jue stayed in the courtyard for a while, and then Zhao Qingmeng arrived.

The uncle and his sister-in-law sat facing each other in the courtyard.

"Xiao Jue, how many days do you plan to stay in the sect?" Zhao Qingmeng asked with a smile.

Qin Jue chuckled and said, "I plan to go back the day after tomorrow. I came to Suyun Sect for two reasons: first, to escort you back safely, and second, to meet with the people of Suyun Sect. After all, we are all nominal elders, so it wouldn't be right for us not to even enter the sect gate."

After all, Zhao Qingmeng is a disciple of the Suyun Sect, so he should come here both out of courtesy and reason.

Zhao Qingmeng asked in surprise, "So urgent?"

Qin Jue laughed and said, "It's more comfortable staying at home, and there are so many things to do. Sister-in-law, why don't you come back with me? I'll teach you a real spiritual technique to help you cultivate faster. As for resources, you don't need to worry. I have just as many resources as the Su Yun Sect."

Zhao Qingmeng exclaimed in surprise, "You really possess spiritual power?"

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Spirit Realm so quickly. But the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Zhao Qingmeng laughed and said, "Your sister-in-law isn't stupid. She wouldn't leak such a secret to anyone. Alright, I'll tell Master tomorrow that I'll be cultivating at home from now on."

"Okay. Then we'll leave first thing the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then you should rest first."

The next day, Zhao Qingmeng told Dongfang Lan that she wanted to return to Fengzhou City to cultivate. Although Dongfang Lan was a little reluctant, she couldn't stop her...

With Zhao Qingmeng gone, Qin Jue, this nominal elder, will likely truly remain a figurehead...

A day later, Qin Jue and Zhao Qingmeng bid farewell to the Suyun Sect members. To save time, the two rode together on a black eagle and flew to Fengzhou City.

On the way back, Zhao Qingmeng handed a storage ring to Qin Jue.

"Elder An said it was the sect leader's intention, as a way of thanking you for helping us retrieve our storage ring. I thought the sect should also show its appreciation, so I accepted it on your behalf," Zhao Qingmeng said with a smile.

Qin Jue laughed and asked, "What's inside?"

"I don't know yet."

"Let's take a look."

"This...it must be worth two million spirit stones!" Zhao Qingmeng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing it.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "This Sect Leader Wei is quite capable! Sister-in-law, please keep these spirit stones for your cultivation. Ask me for them again when you've used them up."

"Ah? No way, that's too much!" Zhao Qingmeng quickly refused, forcefully shoving the storage ring into Qin Jue's hand. "You should keep all these spirit stones!"

Qin Jue laughed, "I have plenty of spirit stones. Just in Feng Yaoran's storage ring alone, there are over three million spirit stones. The Feng family is so rich, I regret not fleecing more of them."

Zhao Qingmeng: "..."

"Sister-in-law, if you still want to avenge my brother, take these spirit stones and cultivate diligently to become stronger! Our enemy is probably stronger and more troublesome than we imagine. With your current cultivation level, you can't be of much help," Qin Jue said in a deep voice.

Zhao Qingmeng's eyes widened in surprise: "You have a new lead?"

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "It's not certain yet. I'll tell you after I find out. Right now, the most important thing for you, sister-in-law, is to improve your cultivation and enter the Spirit Realm as soon as possible! Only by entering the Spirit Realm can we truly be fearless against any opponent!"

In the entire Nine Provinces Martial Dynasty, there is only one Spirit River Realm expert on the surface!

With the cultivation techniques and spiritual skills Qin Jue has mastered, he can basically remain invincible unless he encounters this only expert in the Spirit River Realm!

But Zhao Qingmeng was only a Grandmaster, so even if the murderer stood in front of her, she couldn't take revenge.

Zhao Qingmeng pursed her red lips and said in a low voice, "Alright, then I'll take it! Don't worry, after we get back, I'll go into seclusion to first break through to the Grandmaster level, and then look for an opportunity to break into the Spirit Realm! I promise I won't hold you back!"

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Sister-in-law is also very talented. As long as she cultivates spiritual techniques, her cultivation speed will definitely be able to advance by leaps and bounds."

"Heh, what's the name of the spiritual technique you passed on to me? Tell me first!" Zhao Qingmeng said excitedly.

"The Divine Phoenix Sword Manual!" Qin Jue said in a low voice, his eyes half-closed.

This technique was a sword technique carefully selected by Liu Qingxue for Zhao Qingmeng.

Although it is not as powerful as the Blade Chopping Technique, its grade far surpasses all sword techniques on the Tianwu Continent!
