Chapter Twelve: The Innate Sword Body

Su Wan stood rooted to the spot, her eyes wide with astonishment. She covered her mouth with her small hands to stifle a gasp. “Senior Brother, you’re amazing! These boots seem to fly!” She turned to Ye Chentian, her eyes sparkling like stars. “Master, are all the things from Xuantian Sect this extraordinary?”

“You’ll be even more amazed once you step in,” Ye Chentian replied with a smile, gently ruffling her hair. His gaze then settled on Xiao Yi with a hint of expectation.

“In the battle against Biluo Sect three months from now, these two items will come in handy.”

[Ding dong! The host has gifted the disciple the Gale War Boots, triggering a hundredfold return! Congratulations on obtaining the upper-tier Earth-grade ‘Snowstep Boots.’ Active skill: movement speed doubled, complete concealment of aura while walking, with an added ‘teleport’ effect usable three times per month, each teleport covering a distance of one hundred zhang!]

Double speed, complete aura concealment, and most importantly, teleportation! These boots were practically tailor-made for surprise attacks.

Ye Chentian sighed inwardly.

“Master! I earnestly request to enter seclusion in the cultivation chamber immediately!”

“At the Biluo Sect arena three months from now, I must win!”

“Didn’t Liu Ningxia think I was useless? Didn’t she think I didn’t deserve the status of her direct disciple from Biluo Sect?” His eyes burned with fiery determination as he lifted his gaze.

“I will trample her underfoot and uphold the prestige of Xuantian Sect!” Xiao Yi declared with fierce resentment.

“Good! Go into seclusion. With me here, even if you overthrow the entire Biluo Sect, I will support you!” Ye Chentian’s voice carried an unyielding authority.

“Thank you, Master!” Xiao Yi bowed once more before heading toward the cultivation chamber.

After Xiao Yi had gone, Ye Chentian turned to Su Wan beside him.

“Su Wan,” Ye Chentian’s voice was gentle as spring breeze, “since you have returned with me to Xuantian Sect, are you willing to formally become my disciple and the second disciple of Xuantian Sect?”

Su Wan snapped back to reality, her eyes instantly widening as if she couldn’t believe her ears.

She staggered back half a step, hurriedly steadied herself, then knelt on the bluestone floor with a heavy thud, pressing her forehead down. “Disciple Su Wan is willing to become Master’s disciple! If granted your guidance, I vow to protect Xuantian Sect with my life!”

[Ding dong! Successfully accepted Earth-grade aptitude disciple Su Wan as a disciple!]

---

[Reward: Sect level increased to Level 2; spiritual vein upgraded to second grade; unlocking of the Alchemy Hall and Spirit Plant Garden; 500,000 lower-grade spirit stones!]

The system notification sounded, and suddenly the entire Xuantian Sect was enveloped in a faint golden glow!

The first-grade spiritual vein covering the mountain peak surged explosively.

The spiritual energy dragon in the back mountain shifted from pale cyan to emerald green, its swirling range doubled.

On the left side of the main hall, an Alchemy Hall appeared out of thin air.

On the right side, a Spirit Plant Garden emerged spontaneously.

The soil of the Spirit Plant Garden automatically formed ridges, with dozens of first-grade spirit herbs sprouting from the earth, and many spirit vines entwining the wooden fences.

Su Wan froze in place, her eyes as round as two apricots, fingers nervously clutching the edge of her clothes.

Having grown up in the mortal realm, the greatest cultivators she had seen could only barely breathe in sparse spiritual energy.

But the scene before her—spiritual energy transforming into a dragon, buildings appearing from nowhere, spirit herbs growing instantly—

She finally understood that from the moment she stepped through the sect gates, she had entered a world beyond even her wildest dreams.

Ye Chentian raised a hand, gently lifting her with a soft spiritual force. “Rise. From today onward, you are the second disciple of Xuantian Sect.”

He casually pulled out a storage pouch and handed it to Su Wan.

“Here are fifty thousand lower-grade spirit stones. You’ll need them for your cultivation.”

“F-fifty thousand lower-grade spirit stones?” Her voice trembled, disbelief evident.

Upon entering the sect, she had been gifted fifty thousand spirit stones.

In that small village in the mortal realm, one lower-grade spirit stone was enough to buy a year’s worth of food.

---

And now, the wealth in her hand could feed the entire village for a lifetime.

Su Wan suddenly wanted to kneel again with a “plop,” but was gently supported by the residual spiritual force Ye Chentian had left.

“Thank you, Master! I, I will definitely use these spirit stones for cultivation and will never disappoint you!”

She had never imagined possessing such a fortune one day.

Ye Chentian then turned to Su Wan. “Go to the Myriad Laws Pavilion. There you will find cultivation methods and resources suited to you. There are people inside who will assist you.”

Su Wan nodded. “Yes, Master! I will go to the Myriad Laws Pavilion immediately.”

With that, she walked toward the pavilion nearby.

Ye Chentian watched Xiao Yi’s seclusion chamber in the distance, then cast a glance toward the Myriad Laws Pavilion, a faint smile curling on his lips.

Xiao Yi had already glimpsed the doorway of the Flame Burning Heaven Technique; breaking through the Golden Core stage within three months would not be difficult. With the Xuantie Spirit Shield and Gale War Boots, defeating Liu Ningxia would be no challenge.

As for Su Wan, once her innate sword body was fully awakened, her strength would advance at an incredible pace.

“Two promising talents.”

Ye Chentian smiled softly, watching their departing figures, his heart filled with hope.

Both disciples possessed immense potential; as long as they worked hard, they were destined to become pillars of Xuantian Sect in the future.
