I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Upon hearing this, the disciples all looked at Lu Xueyao with admiration. Lu Xueyao lowered her head shyly and said, "It's all thanks to the good teachings of Master and the senior brothers and sisters."

The atmosphere in the Qitian Sect's main hall was solemn yet warm. All the disciples who had returned from the expedition gathered together, their eyes focused on the high platform in the center of the hall, where various rare treasures and materials obtained from the secret realm were piled up.

Sect Master Zhao Qi stood beside the high platform, smiling, his eyes scanning each of his disciples.

He knew that the distribution of the spoils was of great significance to his disciples, so it had to be fair and just.

"My fellow disciples, you all performed very well in the secret realm, and each of you has made great contributions to the sect." Zhao Qi's voice echoed in the hall, "Now, it's time to distribute our spoils."

Upon hearing this, the disciples were immediately cheered up, with anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

Zhao Qi continued, "The principle of distribution is very simple, it is based on your contribution in the secret realm. Whether it is killing monsters, solving puzzles or finding treasures, every link has your efforts and sweat. Therefore, everyone will get the reward they deserve."

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers rang out in the hall. The disciples hugged each other and celebrated. The scene was very warm.

However, at this moment, a mischievous voice suddenly sounded: "Master, does the mysterious stone I picked up in the secret realm count as my personal contribution?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Han Feng holding up a glittering stone with a smug smile on his face. This kid always wants to take advantage of others.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly and said, "Han Feng, your stone is indeed a treasure, but it is the public property of the secret realm and cannot be counted as your personal contribution. However, everyone has seen your performance in the secret realm, so your reward will naturally be inevitable."

Han Feng was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still handed over the stone obediently.

Next, Zhao Qi began to announce each person's rewards one by one.

Some disciples received precious spiritual herbs, some received powerful magic weapons, and some received rare cultivation secrets. Everyone received their rewards with satisfaction.

Of course, there are also some special rewards. For example, Lu Xueyao and Liu Ruyan, they performed well in the secret realm, not only killed powerful guardian beasts, but also found many treasures.

Therefore, Zhao Qi specially prepared two special rewards for them - two elixirs that could improve their cultivation.

When the two took the elixir, warm applause broke out in the hall. They smiled at each other, their hearts filled with gratitude and joy.

As the night deepened, the Qitian Sect was brightly lit and bustling with people. A grand celebration banquet was being held in the sect to celebrate the successful return of the expedition disciples and their glorious victory in the secret realm of cultivation.

Lu Xueyao and Liu Ruyan walked into the banquet venue hand in hand, both of them with smiles of victory on their faces.

Behind them were the disciples who had joined them on the expedition. They were all in high spirits, with pride written all over their faces.

"Haha, this is really a great relief!" a disciple said loudly, drawing a round of echoes.

"Yes, the guardian beast in that secret realm was really powerful, but we still defeated it!" another disciple laughed proudly.

Sect Master Zhao Qi sat on the main seat, looking at the disciples laughing and talking happily, and felt very pleased.

He stood up and raised his glass to toast everyone: "You performed very well in this secret adventure. Not only did you successfully defeat the powerful guardian beast, but you also obtained precious treasures. I am proud of you!"

All the disciples raised their glasses in response, and the scene was extremely lively.

At this moment, a mischievous voice suddenly sounded: "Master, we have returned victoriously this time, shouldn't we get some rewards?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Han Feng looking at Zhao Qi with a smile. This kid always wants to take advantage of others. But this time, he was right.

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "You are right, this victory is indeed worthy of reward. I will consider giving you some extra rewards."

"Wow, thank you, Sect Master!" The disciples cheered.

The banquet continued with singing and dancing, and the clinking of glasses. Lu Xueyao and Liu Ruyan sat together, talking quietly.

"Xueyao, what reward do you think the sect leader will give us this time?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously.

Lu Xueyao thought about it and said with a smile: "I guess it might be some precious cultivation resources, such as spirit stones, elixirs, etc."

"That's not bad either!" Liu Ruyan nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

However, when Zhao Qi announced the reward, everyone was surprised.

He smiled and said, "In order to commend your bravery and wisdom, I have decided to give you a special reward - a chance to compete in a martial arts competition within the sect!"

"Martial arts competition?" The disciples looked at each other, not knowing what the sect leader meant.

Zhao Qi explained: "This competition is different from previous ones. You can form teams freely and use the skills and tactics you learned in the secret realm to fight. The winner will receive a more generous reward!"

This reward was novel and interesting. The disciples immediately became excited and began to prepare for the competition.

The celebration lasted until late at night, and the disciples reluctantly dispersed.

Zhao Qi stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire sect, his heart filled with lofty ambitions.

He knew that this trip to the secret realm not only allowed the disciples to gain experience and growth, but also laid a solid foundation for the sect's future development.

In the following days, everyone in the Qi Tian Sect was immersed in joy and excitement.

After Bai Wei returned to the sect, she was not as eager as other disciples to share her adventures in the secret realm. Instead, she chose to return to her room alone and began to practice in seclusion.

She knew that this trip to the secret realm not only gave her precious resources for cultivating immortals, but also provided her with an opportunity for spiritual cleansing and growth.

On the first day of retreat, Bai Wei sat on the bed, closed her eyes and began to review her experiences in the secret realm.

Those difficult challenges, unknown dangers, and every moment spent with her fellow disciples all unfolded in her mind like a picture scroll.

She took a deep breath, turned these experiences into motivation, and integrated them into her own practice.

As time went by, Bai Wei gradually entered a mysterious state.

She felt as if she had merged with the heaven and earth, and could clearly feel the fluctuations of the spiritual energy around her. She guided the spiritual energy to flow through her body, constantly flushing her meridians and dantian.

However, the process of cultivation was not smooth sailing. When Bai Wei tried to break through the bottleneck of cultivation, she encountered unprecedented difficulties.

The spiritual energy rushed through her body, as if it was about to tear her meridians apart. She gritted her teeth and persevered in guiding the spiritual energy, trying to make it flow according to her will. At this moment, she suddenly remembered the instructions of the senior in the secret realm.

"The road to becoming an immortal is full of difficulties. Only by perseverance can one achieve the great path." Bai Wei's mind moved, and she suddenly understood a lot. She understood that this breakthrough was not only an improvement in her cultivation, but also a test of her will and perseverance.

So she adjusted her breathing and mindset and immersed herself completely in the practice.

Gradually, she felt the spiritual energy in her body begin to become docile, no longer as violent as before. She seized this opportunity and broke through the bottleneck of her cultivation in one fell swoop!

When Bai Wei opened her eyes, she found herself in a completely new realm.

She felt that the spiritual energy in her body was more abundant, as if she could easily exert earth-shaking power.

She knew that she had successfully broken through the bottleneck of her cultivation and became a leader in the sect.

The news spread quickly within the sect. Disciples came to congratulate Bai Wei on her breakthrough and asked her for advice on her cultivation experience. Bai Wei was also generous in sharing her experience with everyone.

After hearing the news, Sect Master Zhao Qi also came in person to congratulate Bai Wei.

He looked at Bai Wei, his eyes full of admiration and expectation: "Bai Wei, your breakthrough is the pride of our Qitian Sect. I hope you can continue to work hard and win more honors for the sect."

Bai Wei bowed respectfully to Zhao Qi: "Thank you for your cultivation and teachings, Sect Master. I will continue to work hard in my cultivation and contribute my strength to the sect."

From then on, Bai Wei's position in the sect became more stable, and she became a role model and example in the eyes of many disciples.

During this period, a wave of cultivation craze swept the sect because of Bai Wei's breakthrough.

Disciples followed Bai Wei's cultivation method and worked hard to improve their own cultivation. The entire sect was immersed in a positive atmosphere, which made people feel excited and encouraged.

Lu Xueyao has always had a keen interest in alchemy. On this day, as usual, she was immersed in studying ancient books in a corner of the sect's library.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice, sprinkling on her focused and bright eyes, reflecting a different kind of determination and intelligence.

In the library, there are a vast number of ancient books, and each one records the countless mysteries of the world of immortal cultivation.

Lu Xueyao is like a hardworking little bee, collecting nectar in this sea of ​​knowledge, hoping to find the unique technique of alchemy.

Just as she was immersed in the ocean of ancient books, suddenly, the cover of a book caught her attention.

It was a seemingly ordinary ancient book, with the words "Ancient Alchemy Secrets" written on the cover. She curiously turned the pages, and lines of ancient words came into her eyes.

Lu Xueyao read it word by word, afraid of missing any details.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. The book actually recorded a method of alchemy that she had never heard of!

This method is said to be able to produce a magical elixir called "Lingyun Dan", which can greatly improve one's cultivation level after taking it.

She was so excited that her heartbeat accelerated, as if she had seen the beautiful scene of herself refining the Lingyun Pill and then making rapid progress in her cultivation. She couldn't wait to share this discovery with the sect master and other fellow disciples.

So she hurriedly left the library and headed straight for the sect master's residence.

Along the way, her heart was filled with anticipation and excitement, as if she had already seen the future of the Qi Tian Sect becoming even more powerful because of her discovery.

When she told Sect Master Zhao Qi about this discovery, a hint of surprise flashed in the Sect Master's eyes.

He was well aware of the importance of alchemy to immortal cultivators, and the new alchemy method discovered by Lu Xueyao would undoubtedly bring huge benefits to the sect.

"Xueyao, you did a great job!" Zhao Qi said approvingly.

"If this alchemy method can successfully refine Lingyun Pills, it will be a huge boost to our sect. I support you in trying it. Please let me know if you need any materials or help."

Lu Xueyao felt warm at heart after hearing this. She knew that the sect master had high expectations of her, and she would definitely not let him down.

So she nodded firmly and said, "Master, rest assured, I will try my best to refine the Lingyun Pill to bring honor to the sect!"

Afterwards, Lu Xueyao told her fellow disciples about her discovery. They were all happy for her and expressed their willingness to help.

Bai Wei even joked: "Sister Xueyao is going to soar to the sky this time! We have to hold on tight, haha!"

Lu Xueyao was amused and laughed out loud: "Please stop making fun of me. I don't know if I can succeed in refining the elixir this time. But I have confidence with your support and help!"

Amidst the laughter and joy, everyone began to work on Lu Xueyao's alchemy career. And Lu Xueyao also started her alchemy journey with everyone's expectations and blessings.

Lu Xueyao devoted herself to the study of alchemy. She repeatedly read the book "Ancient Alchemy Secrets" and constantly tried and adjusted the steps and materials of alchemy.

Although she encountered numerous difficulties and setbacks in the process, she never gave up.

Her fellow disciples were also busy. They searched everywhere for and collected rare materials needed for alchemy and provided Lu Xueyao with all the help they could.

The entire sect united and worked together because of Lu Xueyao's new discovery.

When Lu Xueyao put the last herb into the furnace, a mysterious and solemn atmosphere filled the entire alchemy room. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the result.

In the alchemy room of Qi Tian Sect, the fire was burning brightly and the aroma of medicine filled the air.

Lu Xueyao stood in front of the alchemy furnace, concentrating on refining the elixir. This was her first time trying to refine the newly discovered elixir, and she was nervous but full of anticipation.

However, the art of alchemy is ever-changing and one could end up with nothing if one is not careful.

Just as Lu Xueyao was carefully controlling the temperature and preparing to put the last ingredient into the furnace, suddenly, the flames in the furnace suddenly jumped up and a cloud of black smoke rolled out, and the entire alchemy room was instantly shrouded in smoke.

"Oh my! What happened?" Lu Xueyao exclaimed, trying to control the fire in a panic. But the fire burned more and more fiercely, and it was about to get out of control.

At this time, Liu Ruyan and other disciples rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw the scene in the alchemy room, they were stunned.

Liu Ruyan covered her nose and smiled bitterly: "Xueyao, are you refining the elixir or burning the house?" (End of this chapter)
