System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

"Congratulations on Junior Brother Chen's promotion to a true disciple!"

"According to the regulations, Senior Brother Chen will receive a second-tier low-grade spiritual vein cave dwelling in the core area, a first-tier high-grade magic robe, five pairs of servants, ten thousand spirit stones, a first-tier mid-grade flying sword, a thousand catties of refined black iron, ten hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, and ten bottles each of Yellow Sprout Pills, Qi Gathering Pills, and Rejuvenation Pills..."

Inside the inner hall, steward Huang Yuan announced the news while taking out various resources and placing them on the table.

Chen Wen checked them one by one, nodding inwardly. Don't underestimate the power of bean buns. Although they are not highly regarded, they still hold the title of a true disciple of Zixia Peak, so they will naturally receive the treatment they deserve.

Putting everything else aside, this robe, woven from mica silk, is the treasure of countless disciples for their entire lives!

First-grade high-quality magic artifacts are precious, especially magic robes, which are the most valuable. They can be sold for tens of thousands of spirit stones—they are priceless!

In addition, there were various other odds and ends, bringing the total price to nearly 100,000 spirit stones.

Luxurious! So luxurious!

These are just the resources; the entire first floor of the Sutra Repository is also open to the public.

No contribution points required, learn as you like.

There are annual quotas for various elixirs.

These are not included in the monthly salary.

You can go to the Beast Hall to select first or second-tier spirit beasts as your pets.

Every ten years, one can choose any secret realm of a sect to enter for cultivation.

A magical artifact can be crafted once every ten years. You can ask a Foundation Establishment artifact refiner to craft it with your identity jade token. No contribution points are required, but you need to provide your own materials.

Located on Zixia Peak, his monthly salary was allocated to his spiritual fields, from which he received 10% of the produce.

What you get are contribution points.

You can also choose spirit stones, but only a fool would do that.

Finally, the main event arrived.

Huang Yuan took out a scroll made of animal hide.

With a slight infusion of spiritual energy, the scroll floated and unfurled, revealing a three-dimensional Azure Mountain Range.

With a light tap of his fingertip, Huang Yuan caused the scene to change rapidly.

It quickly stopped at a spiritual field.

He introduced it enthusiastically:

"Junior Brother Chen, look, this is the spiritual field that my Zixia Peak has cultivated."

"As instructed by the Peak Master, you are the chief steward of the Grade B Spirit Fields. There are two hectares of Grade B Spirit Fields, all planted with spirit rice, with a yield of 500 catties per mu. Forty disciples are responsible for planting, and one steward disciple is responsible for management. You will receive 10%, the steward disciple will receive 3%, and the remaining disciples will each manage five mu and receive 20% of the planting yield."

"Therefore, you need to pay 90,000 catties of spirit rice to the sect every year, and you will receive 1,000 contribution points. For every additional 1,000 catties you pay, you will receive 100 contribution points. Do you have any objections?"

After listening, Chen Wen calculated in his mind that, in theory, two acres of spirit fields could produce 100,000 catties of spirit rice, but there were always some unexpected losses, so he gave a surplus of 10,000 catties.

As for exchanging contribution points, they are given at a ratio of ten to one.

However, considering the actual value of the contribution points, the ratio is more than ten to one, making it a very worthwhile investment.

Of course, the sect won't lose money either, because the spirit rice will triple in price once it's resold.

A disciple can earn fifty contribution points per year.

The manager receives three hundred.

He can get a thousand.

No, there should still be some slack to be made from the manager; it all depends on your skills!

Chen Wen narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressed his thoughts, and smiled, saying:

"Thank you for your consideration, Steward Huang. Jingwen has no objections!"

Huang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, thinking to himself that this person was easy to talk to. He quickly took out another jade talisman and handed it over, saying:

"In that case, I will leave a soul imprint so that I can report to the sect and light your soul lamp. After that, Junior Brother Chen can go and take a look at the cave."

Chen Wen accepted it without hesitation and immediately left his soul imprint.

There's nothing to be cautious about with this soul lamp; only disciples at the inner sect level or above can leave it lit.

The inner disciples have ordinary soul lamps, and their life or death can only be determined by whether the soul lamp is burning.

True disciples are cared for by special personnel. Once their soul lamps flicker and dim, their location can be directly sensed, and powerful members of the sect can quickly go to their aid.

As long as there is no intention to betray the sect, there is no need to care about these things.

After finishing the work.

Chen Wen immediately began to refine the robe and put it on.

This is a symbol of a true disciple's identity, so it's best to wear it as soon as possible.

Upon recognizing the robe as its master, Chen Wen immediately sensed its functions: lightness of body, self-cleaning, defense, impervious to water and fire, and balance between hot and cold.

The rest are just extras.

Of all things, Chen Wen placed the utmost importance on defense.

It can store three Xuan Yuan Shields daily, and once activated, they are difficult to break even in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Moreover, these three Xuan Yuan Shields can be stacked and used at once.

It can be said that one is invincible when engaging in magical battles with others.

He took the five pairs of servants assigned to him and headed to his cave dwelling.

These five pairs of servants were all teenagers.

Chen Wen learned that five of them were mortals without spiritual roots. The sect had given them innate pills, making them like innate martial artists among mortals, mainly used for odd jobs.

Chen Wen named them Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten.

The other five all possessed inferior spiritual roots.

The three are members of a powerful family who got in through connections. They're giving it their all to secure a good cultivation environment—who knows, they might just succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment stage!

Only two of them were from independent backgrounds and seemed quite honest.

Chen Wen referred to them as one, two, three, four, and five.

The one who looks the most honest is Ah Yi, who is in charge of managing these people.

Along the way, passersby stopped to greet and salute.

Chen Wen responded calmly.

Seeing their master so prestigious, the servants behind him were also excited, their faces flushed, and they stood tall and proud.

The servants all possessed the skill of lightness, and they followed Chen Wen swiftly, arriving in about an hour.

Luoyun Mountain.

His cave dwelling was located in a valley at the top of Luoyun Mountain.

The entire mountain belongs to him, so he needs five pairs of servants to manage it, and that's still not enough.

He surveyed the entire mountain as he walked, and as expected, it was not of much value, except for a few acres of spiritual fields and a waterfall that were worth looking at.

Upon entering the valley, one arrives at the protective array of his cave dwelling.

The valley was shrouded in mist, obscuring its interior.

He took out his identity token and infused it with spiritual power, and a ripple immediately appeared.

An opening appeared before everyone.

Chen Wen was the first to enter.

The initial... vast!

Once inside, everything becomes clear and bright.

A rich spiritual energy wafts towards you.

Chen Wen felt his entire body groaning.

Only then did I have the mood to take in the scenery inside the valley.

A spring, a bamboo grove, and a pavilion.

In addition, there are animal pens, a medicine garden, an alchemy room, a weapon-refining room, a study...

It can be described as a paradise on earth.

The servant disciples were all stunned.

All the fatigue from the journey vanished at this moment.

Chen Wen turned his head and gave the order:

"Don't just stand there, A-Yi, tidy up the rooms. First, prepare the secluded training area. Have the general affairs office prepare everything you need. The entrance pass has already been issued to your identity tokens. You can enter and exit with your identity tokens."

A-Yi immediately accepted the order, "Understood, Senior Brother Chen, please wait a moment."

Then they began to nervously arrange the work.

Chen Wen didn't pay attention to him; it's normal to be nervous.

It would be abnormal not to be nervous.

He came to the clear spring, took out a futon and sat cross-legged.

He first opened the panel;

......

After watching.

Chen Wen sighed inwardly, no wonder they say that fighting is the best way to cultivate.

This was a struggle that lasted only a few days.

He has made great progress in all his magical arts and skills.

Of course, cultivation level increases the fastest.

Moreover, there was an unknown spiritual liquid in his stomach.

If all of these spiritual liquids were refined...

He believed that his spiritual root could be elevated to the highest level.

For a moment, he was puzzled. Wasn't it said that improving one's spiritual root was extremely difficult?

Otherwise, the sect wouldn't value aptitude so much.

He only went into the secret realm once, and he's already improved to this level?!

And there's also that green bead.

Chen Wen took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, which contained a drop of green pearl.

His injuries were too severe, so Green Pearl was the only one who could help him recover.

This drop was the last one Zhai Ji gave me, and it has been preserved.

He took it back.

He has no shortage of things to improve his qualifications now, so he'll keep this green pearl for now; it might have other uses in the future.

He then picked up the jade pendant identifying him.

Find Chu Feng's name and send a message.

Unexpectedly, a reply was received very quickly:

"Congratulations, Brother Jingwen, on becoming a true disciple. The gift is ready and will be presented to you in the future."

"Congratulations to Brother Chu on becoming an inner disciple of Danfeng. There's no need for such formalities between us."

Chen Wen never cared about these things, but instead asked a question that had been on his mind:

"Let's not talk about that now. Tell me, was Liang Jiu eliminated by you?"

Chu Feng remained silent for a moment before replying, "Yes, when you were forced to retreat by the ice spikes that day, I attacked him. Brother Jingwen, are you going to blame me for hurting your dear friend?"

Chen Wen smiled and shook his head, saying frankly, "He and I are just casual acquaintances, how can we compare to the two of us?"

"Let's not talk about that anymore; it's just a question that's been on my mind."

"I just received a true inheritance cave dwelling, which has a second-grade low-level spiritual vein and is connected to earth fire. You can come and use it often if you need it. I am not good at alchemy, so I don't need it."

Chu Feng replied quickly: "Really? I'll prepare the alchemy furnace and put it over there right away."

"Need not."

"What's wrong? Do you want to back out? No way!"

"I mean you don't need to prepare a pill furnace. I see there is one in the pill refining room, which should be a mid-grade first-level furnace, enough for your needs."

Chu Feng: ......

After a long silence, Chu Feng finally replied, "If I had known that the treatment of true disciples was this good, I would have taken a gamble back then. What if I had won?"

...

Chen Wen chatted with him for a while longer.

The conversation ended when Ah-Yi came to report that the seclusion room had been cleaned up, and he got up to go to the seclusion room.

After entering.

Then a spring of spiritual energy gushed forth, even showing signs of turning into mist.

This is a place where spiritual energy gathers, and the spiritual energy here is even greater than that outside.

The room was fully equipped with a jade bed, a futon, and an incense table.

The calming incense, which had been obtained from the miscellaneous affairs office, was already lit on the altar.

He has quotas for all of these, and he basically can't use them all.

Inhaling the calming and delicate fragrance of the incense.

Chen Wen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and began to examine the cultivation techniques in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The thought entered into it.

In an instant, Chen Wen felt as if he were in a void.

A green sprout broke through the soil in front of me.

The process of a life being born unfolds before him.

Then, a clear, ethereal voice rang in his ears. Its gender was indiscernible, yet it contained boundless wisdom, captivating Chen Wen.

"Aoki Eigenko, Aoki means evergreen, signifying prosperity and enduring success; Ei means flourishing; Gen means root..."

The voice spoke in great detail.

As if afraid he wouldn't understand, she explained it to him word by word.

The entire text is written in the style of Xuanwen, every word a gem, yet it poses no challenge to him, who has already mastered the art of Xuanwen.

The inheritance of the Qi Refining Chapter is clearly evident.

It encompasses a wide range of techniques, including cultivation methods, spells, formations, alchemy, talismans, and weapon crafting.

The ingenuity of this technique far exceeded Chen Wen's expectations.

The magical power cultivated is pure and profound, and can even be used directly to heal wounds and promote the growth of spiritual medicines.

Combined with his magical abilities, he could be considered a walking pharmacy.

Unfortunately, its attack methods are somewhat lacking.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Wen slowly opened his eyes, revealing a sense of lingering unease.

This cultivation technique is good, but he always felt that something was missing.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was missing.

Had to give up.

He's not in a hurry to switch to repairs right now.

The Azure Sky Qi Guiding Technique has been mastered and is extremely efficient to cultivate.

However, Qingmu Rongyuan had not yet mastered the basics of the technique, and his practice was fraught with difficulties.

He prepared to start from the basics, first condensing the primordial vortex.

Then he cultivated using the Azure Nether Qi-Guiding Technique and transformed his magical power.

In this way, the cultivation speed will naturally not slow down.

After mastering the Qingmu Rongyuan Technique, one can then fully transform one's magical power.

However, he could focus his attention on magic.

Aoki Eigenjutsu's techniques are quite good.

Moreover, all the spells on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion are now available to him.

I need to learn more!

But for now, let's eat first!

He walked out of the seclusion room.

Ah Yi was waiting outside the closed-door training room.

Seeing him emerge, he quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Senior Brother, you've been in seclusion for six hours, and no one has visited you during that time. Is there anything you need?"

"Prepare the meal."

Chen Wen casually gave an order and walked out of the pavilion.

Ah Yi replied, "Yes!"

He then immediately picked up the token and notified the errand staff to prepare a meal.

Another person was sent to pick up the food, still following behind Chen Wen, head down and silent.

When Chen Wen came out, he saw that the sky was still full of purple clouds, and he couldn't tell whether it was dawn or dusk.

The valley has been completely transformed; the weeds are gone, all kinds of plants have been trimmed, and some fish have been raised in the pond.

A pavilion has been built in the center of the pond.

Chen Wen activated the Yi Wood Escape Technique, entered the space, sat down at the jade table inside, and casually gave the following instructions:

"Prepare some tea; barring any unforeseen circumstances, quite a few people should be visiting today."

A-Yi was surprised by Chen Wen's strength and hurriedly ran over from the path: "Okay, senior brother."

"By the way, take all of my incense pills for this year and give them to me. I need them. Also, ask where Qin Shuiru, the true disciple of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department, lives. Is she inside the peak?"

A-Yi: "Okay."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wen took out another hundred spirit stones. "I'll go to the market again and buy some mortal food, books, cosmetics, jewelry, and the like."

Ah Yi's eyelids twitched, and with trembling hands, he took the spirit stone, saying:

"Senior brother, this is too much. One spirit stone is enough for those mortal items."

Chen Wen waved his hand, "Keep it for now, it'll be convenient to use when you buy something later."
