In the Azure Cloud Sect, there are two halls that are quite similar.

  One is the Hall of Affairs, and the other is the Law Enforcement Hall.

  The Hall of Affairs manages all the daily matters of the sect.

  Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Hall is in charge of the sect's rules!

  Anything that violates the sect's rules or is deemed inappropriate will be sanctioned by the Law Enforcement Hall.

  Clearly, Li Qinghai's direct promotion to a true disciple of the Nine Peaks did not follow the sect's procedures and rules.

  Li Qinghai was naturally unaware of this. At this moment, he was being led by Jian Jiu to the Nine Peaks.

  The Spiritual Sword descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of several small wooden houses.

  Jian Jiu pointed to the wooden house in front of them and said.

  "The one in the middle is where I live. As for the other houses, you can choose any one you like."

  "I'll take this one." Li Qinghai casually pointed to a wooden house on the left.

  This wooden house was backed by a bamboo forest, with a small stream beside it, making it very serene and suitable for cultivation.

  Jian Jiu nodded, "Alright. That one will be your house from now on."

  With that, Jian Jiu took out a storage bag and handed it to Li Qinghai.

  "Since you've become a true disciple of the Nine Peaks, I'll give you a welcome gift."

  "Thank you, Master..." Li Qinghai took the storage bag and was about to bow in gratitude.

  Li Qinghai originally wanted to say thank you, Master.

  But Jian Jiu reached out to support Li Qinghai, interrupting his words.

  "We don't use the master-disciple titles. You can just call me Uncle Jiu."

  "Why?" Li Qinghai asked in confusion.

  He was curious why Jian Jiu would accept him as a true disciple of the Nine Peaks but not as a master. What was going on?

  Jian Jiu smiled slightly, "I won't teach you swordsmanship, so naturally, I won't be your master."

  "Huh? Why won't you teach me swordsmanship?" Li Qinghai was even more puzzled. Why bring him in as a true disciple of the Nine Peaks if not for that?

  Jian Jiu smiled without explaining.

  The reason he wouldn't teach Li Qinghai was naturally because Li Qinghai had received the Azure Cloud Ancestor's inheritance.

  The Azure Cloud Ancestor's swordsmanship was already the strongest in the entire Azure Cloud Sect.

  Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  What right did Jian Jiu have to instruct on the swordsmanship passed down by the ancestor?

  At that moment.

  The transmission token in Jian Jiu's storage bag vibrated.

  He took it out and listened.

  "Junior Brother, come to the sect's main hall."

  After hearing the transmission, Jian Jiu turned to Li Qinghai.

  "Alright, you stay here. I need to go out for a bit."

  "Okay."

  Jian Jiu flew away on his sword.

  Li Qinghai went to the wooden house he had chosen and pushed the door open.

  Inside, the wooden house was spotless and very clean.

  There were no extra decorations inside, just a bed, a table, and a chair, quite simple.

  It could be said that this small house was not much different from his Green Bamboo Residence.

  Of course, the only difference was that the spiritual energy here was very rich.

  Just taking a casual breath made him feel refreshed and invigorated.

  Even Morning Cultivation Mountain couldn't compare to this place.

  Even without activating the Eternal Life Scroll, the operation speed of the cultivation technique in his body was faster than before, as if it was cheering, very fond of this place.

  Li Qinghai didn't bother with the cultivation technique but first checked the storage bag Jian Jiu had given him.

  Over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones and several thousand high-grade Spirit Stones.

  Several bottles of elixirs, a total of 10 bottles.

  And a magical treasure, a Spiritual Sword.

  A note was attached to the elixir bottles, with two words written on it.

  Foundation Elixir!

  This was an elixir used by Foundation Establishment cultivators for cultivation.

  In battles, if spiritual energy was insufficient, it could also be used to replenish it.

  Its effect was a hundred times better than the Qi Gathering Elixir.

  And such a precious elixir, there were actually 10 bottles.

  Each bottle contained 5 pills, totaling 50 pills.

  Then, Li Qinghai carefully examined the Spiritual Sword.

  He attempted to draw the sword and saw three words engraved on the blade.

  Leaving Fire Sword!

  Unlike other Spiritual Swords that gleamed with a cold light, the Leaving Fire Sword's blade was like warm jade, a fiery red.

  Touching it, he could feel a warm aura, clearly not an ordinary item.

  It was evident that the grade of this sword was not low.

  Any high-grade magical treasure could be bound by blood.

  So Li Qinghai attempted to drip a drop of blood on it.

  The blood was absorbed by the Leaving Fire Sword, and the blade felt even hotter.

  Then, Li Qinghai faintly sensed a connection between himself and the Leaving Fire Sword.

  Through this connection, Li Qinghai finally understood the power of this Leaving Fire Sword.

  It was actually a... high-grade Spiritual Treasure!

  A high-grade Spiritual Treasure, even some Elemental Infant old monsters might not possess one!

  And Jian Jiu just gave it to him as a welcome gift...

  Wasn't this too generous?

  At this moment, Li Qinghai felt overwhelmed by the favor.

  However, such a level of magical treasure was clearly not something a small Qi Refining cultivator like him could wield.

  Even attempting to use it would directly drain him dry.

  He could only set it aside for now.

  Li Qinghai withdrew from the storage bag, intending to cultivate, when he suddenly remembered something.

  "Right, the Book of Good Fortune seemed to have some movement earlier."

  Li Qinghai checked it.

  [You participated in the Azure Cloud Sect's Outer Sect Competition, overwhelming the other cultivators and taking the top spot.]

  [Your strength amazed many disciples.]

  [Your outstanding performance led to your promotion as a true disciple of the Nine Peaks!]

  [It's clear that you understand cultivation well and are thriving in the Azure Cloud Sect.]

  [In light of your various performances, you have gained good fortune, a slight understanding of cultivation!]

  [Due to special factors affecting you, the good fortune of a slight understanding of cultivation is temporarily ineffective!]

  A slight understanding of cultivation!

  Seeing these five words, Li Qinghai was extremely excited.

  All the rewards from this competition were nothing compared to these five words.

  Back then, when the Book of Good Fortune took away his cultivation qualification, it was due to two factors.

  One was his lack of interest in cultivation, and the other was his lack of understanding of cultivation.

  Now, finally resolving one of them, it was truly a cause for celebration!

  Only the lack of interest in cultivation remained!

  Who said I wasn't interested in cultivation?

  Time to cultivate!

  In high spirits, Li Qinghai immediately sat cross-legged and began cultivating fervently.

  Meanwhile, on the other side.

  Jian Jiu arrived at the sect's main hall.

  Inside the hall, besides Liu Daoyuan, there was also a middle-aged cultivator who exuded an aura of authority.

  Jian Jiu naturally recognized this cultivator as Sun Xing, the current head of the Law Enforcement Hall!

  The head of the Law Enforcement Hall held a position not weaker than the peak masters of the various peaks.

  If justified, even the peak masters had to give way!

  Jian Jiu walked over and sat opposite Sun Xing.

  Seeing Jian Jiu arrive, Sun Xing raised an eyebrow and unceremoniously questioned.

  "Elder Jian Jiu, I heard you accepted a true disciple from the Outer Sect? Is this true?"

  "Yes, it is true," Jian Jiu replied.

  "Elder Jian Jiu, as the master of the Nine Peaks, you indeed have the right to accept disciples. But true disciples are vital to Azure Cloud's future and cannot be taken lightly. Your hasty decision does not conform to Azure Cloud's rules! Please reconsider!"

  Jian Jiu shook his head slightly, "This is already the result of my careful consideration."

  Sun Xing narrowed his eyes, "Elder Jian Jiu, are you planning to act willfully?"

  The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense, as if a conflict was about to erupt.
