After clearing up the mountain and setting up a Formation in the areas abundant with Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, Qin Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
Because it had been abandoned for too long, there were quite a few Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines on this mountain.
Qin Xuan planned to transplant all these Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines into his Immortal Cave when he had time.
This way, the Materials for Alchemy would be sufficient.
After all this was done, the sky had already darkened.
Standing at the peak, Qin Xuan gazed into the distance.
At this time, the other eleven Main Peaks were brightly lit.
From here, the entire Star Peak was enveloped in a sea of stars, like a dream.
If he remembered correctly, that Zhao Jingyan seemed to be the current Personal Disciple of Star Peak.
The Zhao family...
Qin Xuan pondered for a long time, then looked at the other Main Peaks nearby.
At this time, the other Main Peaks each had their own unique charms.
Only Lei Yun Peak, where Qin Xuan was located, was completely dark at this moment.
"No matter, once I succeed, this place will also be brightly lit in the future."
Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze, then tried to communicate with the mountain spirit.
The token given to him by the Grand Elder described how to communicate with the mountain spirit.
Under normal circumstances, it was very easy for a Personal Disciple to communicate with a mountain spirit.
Especially a Personal Disciple chosen by the mountain spirit.
Because they had already gained the mountain spirit's approval, it was very convenient for these Personal Disciples to communicate with the mountain spirit.
However, Qin Xuan was not so smooth at this time.
He didn't know what was going on, although he tried various ways to communicate with the mountain spirit.
But in the end, the mountain spirit had no response.
This made Qin Xuan feel a bit annoyed.
Forget it, I'll try again tomorrow.
With this thought, Qin Xuan immediately got up and returned to his Immortal Cave, preparing to Cultivate.
"Eh?"
Just as Qin Xuan was about to leave, the mountain spirit, which had been unresponsive, suddenly reacted, which greatly surprised Qin Xuan.
One must know that no matter how he tried before, the result was the same.
He was always unable to communicate with the mountain spirit.
But this time, the mountain spirit finally reacted.
Without any hesitation, Qin Xuan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, trying to contact the mountain spirit.
However, after trying for a long time, that hint of a tremor seemed to have disappeared.
"It was a false alarm."
Qin Xuan sighed slightly.
However, after thinking about it, Qin Xuan felt relieved.
He had already gained enough today.
Not to mention anything else, the first three layers of that Yu Dao Secret Method were at least equivalent to an Emperor-grade high-rank.
This was something many people dreamed of but could not obtain.
As for the Legacy of Lei Yun Peak.
He was now Lei Yun Peak's Personal Disciple, and as long as he had enough time, he would eventually obtain the Legacy here.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan got up and returned to his Immortal Cave.
After a busy day, he finally had some rare time to rest.
It was time to have a good rest.
In this way, while resting, Qin Xuan relied on the Refining God Cauldron and the Primordial Divinity Refining Art to silently help him absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, constantly improving his cultivation.
Early the next morning, Qin Xuan, after a good night's sleep, tidied up and left his Immortal Cave.
At this time, the other Main Peaks were already bustling.
The other eleven Main Peaks had dedicated Peak Masters who arranged daily morning lessons and taught Disciples.
In short, all Disciples would Cultivate according to the corresponding Legacy of that Peak.
Each Peak had its own cultivation Legacy, and even Sect Elders were not allowed to interfere casually.
As for the Outer Sect Disciples, they had different classes teaching Martial Skills.
After all, the side peaks did not have their own Legacy; the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills they learned all came from the Sect.
And for the convenience of teaching, these Disciples were gathered together by the Sect and divided into several classes for instruction.
Only Lei Yun Peak, where Qin Xuan was currently located, was different from other places.
Because this Main Peak had long since declined, there was no Peak Master here.
Since there was no Peak Master, Personal Disciple Qin Xuan naturally became the only Disciple and acting Peak Master of this Main Peak.
"This is for the best. I have my own Cultivation Technique, so it's best if others don't interfere with my Cultivation."
It was naturally best to occupy a Main Peak alone without being disturbed.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan continued to tidy up this Main Peak. By the time he finished tidying up the surroundings, it was already close to noon.
Looking at the sun high in the sky, it was time for lunch.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan looked towards the mountaintop.
Lei Yun Peak had been abandoned for too long, and there were quite a few wild game and Spirit Beasts on the mountaintop.
Catching a few wild game, and adding some Spirit Medicine...
Without further ado, Qin Xuan rushed to the peak, caught a few Spirit Birds that couldn't fly away in time, gathered some Spirit Medicine, and then set up a pot on the peak to start cooking.
During his three years in the Tian Tomb, he had cooked for himself.
At first, Xuanji Empress was disdainful.
But later, after occasionally tasting it once, she silently began to eat with him.
"If it weren't for that incident, that woman would actually be quite cute."
Qin Xuan thought of Xuanji Empress again.
In all fairness, the Empress's appearance and figure were top-notch, and in the Tian Tomb, she was very kind to Qin Xuan.
However, thinking of his experiences in the Tian Tomb, Qin Xuan still shook his head repeatedly.
If it weren't for the Taihuang Space that allowed him to rest, plus various highly nourishing Heaven And Earth Treasure to improve his physical fitness.
He would have probably died long ago.
"Too terrifying!"
Qin Xuan shook his head hard, suppressing that trace of memory in his heart.
That was a full three hundred years!
Even livestock couldn't be used like that.
An hour later, all the Spirit Birds in the pot were stewed until tender and soft.
"This Spirit Bird is quite large, almost as big as a chicken raised by a Mortal."
Qin Xuan scooped up a piece of meat and ate it.
The Spirit Bird meat was completely stewed, almost melting in his mouth.
"Wow!"
This Spirit Bird was surprisingly delicious!
Not only that, after eating the Spirit Bird meat, he could feel a surge of Spiritual Qi flowing through his Meridians, and with the Spirit Medicine, he felt that his cultivation seemed to have improved significantly.
"Good stuff!"
Qin Xuan ate the meat with high praise.
Just then, he suddenly raised his head vigilantly.
A blue light was flying over at an extremely fast speed.
Someone's coming?
Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the person coming.
Soon, the light stopped above the peak of Lei Yun Peak.
A White-robed man, stepping on a completely azure sword, was looking down from above.
After looking around, the White-robed man suddenly discovered Qin Xuan, and he quickly descended on his sword, flying towards Qin Xuan.
"Junior Brother, I wonder if you've seen the Phoenix from our Main Peak?"
Phoenix?
What is that?
Qin Xuan pondered in his heart, shaking his head.
"I haven't seen it. There are only some wild chickens and rabbits on this mountain; I've never even heard of a Phoenix."
Qin Xuan said, then made a gesture of invitation to the Disciple.
"Senior Brother, it's already noon. Why don't you come down and rest for a moment? I've just stewed some wild game here."
The White-robed man gave a wry smile.
"Thank you for Your Excellency's kindness, but I am under Master's orders to find the Phoenix of our Main Peak, so I'm afraid I don't have time to rest..."
As he was speaking, a fragrant aroma wafted up from below.
Smelling this aroma, the White-robed man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
So fragrant!
He had joined the Azure Green Sect three years ago.
After entering the Sect, his three meals a day were solved by eating Medicinal Pills.
It was usually fine, but now smelling this scent, he couldn't help but drool.
"It's alright, sharpening the axe doesn't delay chopping wood. Come down and eat something, and you'll have more strength. Maybe you'll even get some ideas, and finding things will only be faster."
Qin Xuan said with a smile, inviting the other party with a warm expression.
"Then, that would be too much trouble!"
The White-robed man was already tempted, and while being polite, he quickly descended on his sword and landed beside Qin Xuan.
"So fragrant."
Smelling this aroma, the White-robed man became even more tempted.
"Is Junior Brother new this year? Your cooking skills are really good."
"Senior Brother overpraised. Come and have a taste quickly."
Qin Xuan repeatedly invited, and the White-robed man finally couldn't resist putting away his sword and sitting cross-legged next to Qin Xuan.
"This piece is big, you eat some."
Qin Xuan took out a set of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to the other party, then picked up a piece of meat for the White-robed man.
"Wow, it's so delicious, it melts in your mouth."
The White-robed man praised it after just one bite, then picked up several more pieces and ate them.
Seeing the other party eat several more pieces, Qin Xuan finally felt relieved and started eating.
"Senior Brother, which Main Peak are you a distinguished Disciple of? I see that Senior Brother's cultivation has not yet reached the Tianxuan Realm, yet you can fly with a sword."
"I am a Sword Cultivator Disciple. It's embarrassing to say, my Aptitude is really mediocre, and I'm just one of the crowd on Sword Peak. Now I just rely on helping the Elder raise Spirit Beasts or something to earn some points."
Although the White-robed man had entered the Sect earlier than Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan could tell that he was much simpler than Qin Xuan.
The two chatted for a short while, and Qin Xuan had almost asked about his situation.
This White-robed man's name was Zheng Fan, and he was an Inner Sect Disciple who had entered Sword Peak three years ago.
Sword Peak was one of the Twelve Main Peaks, and the Disciples on this Peak were all Sword Cultivators, meaning each of them had astonishing combat power.
As for these points, Qin Xuan also figured it out.
In the Azure Green Sect, Disciples had to exchange points to exchange for better Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
And the way to get points was by performing various tasks.
The task Zheng Fan received this time was to help the Elder find the Spirit Beast.
"So, Junior Brother is a Disciple on this Lei Yun Peak? This is truly rare. I thought there was no one on this Peak, which is why I rashly intruded. Please forgive me, Junior Brother."
"No problem, no problem!"
Qin Xuan waved his hand, then smiled and picked up another piece of meat for Zheng Fan, placing it in his bowl.
"Senior Brother, eat more. Maybe you'll find a clue about that Phoenix."
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Zheng Fan nodded gratefully.
"Junior Brother, you... are truly too kind."
Eating the meat in his bowl, Zheng Fan thanked Qin Xuan incoherently.
However, when he scooped out a Spirit Bird leg the size of a small chicken drumstick from his bowl, his smile suddenly froze.
"Junior Brother, what kind of wild game did you stew?"
Qin Xuan slowly put down his bowl.
"I don't know, it should be some kind of wild chicken, probably..."
Qin Xuan said, looking bewildered.
"Are these wild chickens very long-tailed, even shimmering with colorful light in the sun?"
Zheng Fan's hand holding the bowl trembled incessantly.
"Is that so? It seems, it really is like that."
Qin Xuan nodded, picking up another piece of meat.
This time, Zheng Fan saw it clearly.
This was the 'wild chicken head'.
How was this a wild chicken!
"Clang!"
The bowl in Zheng Fan's hand fell to the ground, and the bones he had gnawed on fell to the ground.
"You, you ate those Phoenixes!"
Qin Xuan spread his hands.
"What Phoenix? I don't know, I only know it's wild chicken!"
Qin Xuan shrugged, heartily eating the Phoenix meat.
"You!"
Zheng Fan trembled with anger.
"Give me back my Phoenix!"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan pointed to the meat in Zheng Fan's bowl.
"I can't do anything about it either. Why don't you try spitting it out first?"
"You, you've really caused me so much trouble!"
Since things had come to this, Zheng Fan could only sit down again in annoyance.
"Since things have come to this, let's eat first!"
Qin Xuan said, then shoved a bowl into his hand without question and picked up another piece of meat for him.
