On the left hand side was a two-story green pavilion, and the rest were Spirit Fields, in which grew weeds over a person’s height.

The green pavilion had a green signboard hanging, inscribed with three large characters – “Qingmei Pavilion” – and the doors were tightly shut.

Shen Long pushed open the doors of the Qingmei Pavilion and walked in.

Inside, the place was filled with dust.

In the main hall, there were several chairs, and there was a basement.

The basement was over a hundred feet in size, and in the lower left corner, there was an array about a zhang in size with seven equally-sized slots.

The second floor contained two rooms.

“Junior Brother Qian Dafu here, may I know which Senior Brother or Sister is inside?”

A loud male voice came from outside.

“Qian Dafu?”

Shen Long was slightly startled; he did not know this person.

He stepped out of Qingmei Pavilion and saw a fair-skinned, round-faced young man in his twenties wearing a golden robe with small eyes, and three Spirit Beast pouches tied around his waist.

“Senior Brother must be a new disciple, right?

May I know how to address you?”

Qian Dafu said enthusiastically.

“Shen Long!”

Shen Long replied politely, unclear about Qian Dafu’s intentions.

“So it’s Senior Brother Shen, Junior Brother Shen.

Have you chosen Qingmei Courtyard as your dwelling to plant Spiritual Medicine?

Or is it Spirit Rice, or perhaps Spirit Fruit trees?

I have seeds for sale, fair prices, buy ten get one free, And aside from these, I also have other items for sale—Spirit Beasts, Spirit Insects, Spirit Birds, Spiritual Medicine; just say the word, and I’ll do my best to procure them for you.”

Qian Dafu said with zeal.

Shen Long suddenly realized that the visitor was peddling goods.

“Junior Brother Qian, are you also a disciple of Green Cloud Peak?

Is your honored father a disciple of Green Cloud Peak as well?”

Shen Long inquired.

“I was born on Green Cloud Peak, my parents are also disciples of Green Cloud Peak, but they work in the sect’s shop, not the main temple.

If you need to buy anything, you can contact me.

I live in Rose Courtyard, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can also ask me,”

Qian Dafu explained.

“Alright, if I need anything, I will definitely seek you out.”

Shen Long promised.

“Agreed then, I won’t bother you any longer, farewell.”

After saying this, Qian Dafu turned around and left.

Shen Long entered the Qingmei Pavilion again and went down to the basement, where he took out seven Spirit Stones and placed them into the slots.

He then took out a circular token, channeled his mana into it, and a ray of green light shot out, disappearing into the array, which began to shake slightly.

Shen Long put away the Spirit Stones and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out of Qingmei Courtyard, he saw a thin, blue-robed elderly man with a simple and honest face; his cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

“Senior Brother, would you like to hire help to plant Spirit Rice, Spiritual Medicine, or Spirit Fruit trees?

My rates are quite reasonable,”

The blue-robed old man said, his face full of hope.

“You are?”

Shen Long was slightly taken aback.

“Lin Cheng, I’m a Spirit Planting Master; I’ve helped many Junior Brothers plant Spirit Rice, Spiritual Medicine, and Spirit Fruit trees.

I have ample experience,”

the blue-robed old man introduced himself.

“Junior Brother Lin is one of the top Spirit Planting Masters of our Green Cloud Peak.

If you want to hire help for planting Spirit Rice, Spiritual Medicine, or Spirit Fruit trees, he’s the right person to find,”

Qian Dafu added.

Shen Long looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang, with Qian Dafu standing by their side.

“Junior Brother Shen, are you staying in Qingmei?

We’re in Begonia Court and Azalea Courtyard, just nearby.

Come over and visit whenever you have the time,”

Ye Yuqing said, smiling.

Among this batch of new disciples, they knew few people and Shen Long was one of them.

“Certainly, I will,”

Shen Long agreed.

“Junior Brother Lin, these two Senior Sisters are looking for someone to help plant Spirit Rice.

Come and talk to them!”

Qian Dafu said.

“Alright!”

Lin Cheng’s face showed delight as he quickly walked over.

Shen Long headed towards the mountain and returned to the entrance of the Green Cloud Palace.

More than thirty Qi Refining Cultivators were gathered in small groups, whispering among themselves.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

The new disciples of this batch had formed several small cliques, banding together for warmth.

“Junior Brother Shen, I live in Pine Wave Courtyard.

Come and visit when you have time,”

Qin Bao said.

Shen Long was acquainted with the sisters Ye Yutang and Yuqing.

If he could draw the three of them into his own clique, it would strengthen the power of his group.

“Junior Brother Shen, I live in Begonia Court.

Come over for some tea when you’re free; I have plenty of good tea,”

a blue-dressed girl in the prime of youth said with a smile.

The girl in blue had a melon-seed face, starry almond eyes, eyebrows like distant hills, and skin as smooth as cream.

Tang Yuting, ninth level Qi Refiner, born into a Cultivation family.

“Sure, I’ll definitely come by when I have the time,”

Shen Long replied, though it was just a courtesy.

He was self-aware.

Qin Bao and Tang Yuting were wooing him only to approach Ye Yutang and Yuqing.

Joining them now, he would only be a peripheral figure, as even the lowest of the new disciples had at least eighth level Qi Refinement Cultivation.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength was respected.

Just after admission, the new disciples were forming cliques, and those with ninth level Qi Refinement were already building their own support base.

The new disciples gradually returned and gathered in groups of two or three.

Shen Long observed carefully, noting that the eighty new disciples had split into several groups.

Gu Tianhong’s group was the strongest, gathering more than thirty Qi Refining Cultivators, most of whom came from Cultivation families.

Next was Tang Yuting, who had gathered more than a dozen Qi Refining Cultivators, followed by Qin Bao with a similar number from the ranks of Loose Cultivators.

Some new disciples hadn’t joined any group, seemingly observing or possibly used to keeping to themselves.

Qin Shan checked the numbers, confirming that all the new disciples had chosen their cave abodes, and then quickly walked into the Green Cloud Palace.

Before long, Li Qian and Zhao Bin came out.

“Let’s go!

I’ll take you to the Scripture Pavilion for a stroll,”

Zhao Bin summoned a green flying boat, stepped on board, and Li Qian followed suit.

Shen Long and the others followed, boarding the vessel.

Zhao Bin pinched a spell, and the green flying boat immediately emitted a bright green light, ascending into the sky.

Zhao Bin took them on a trip to the Scripture Pavilion, Debate Peak, and Martial Training Peak, introducing them to the Spirt Control Sect’s situation.

The first floor of the Scripture Pavilion was open to all Qi Refining Cultivators for free access to ancient books which mainly included the history of the Cultivation Realm, history of the Spirt Control Sect, and strange tales of the Cultivation Realm.

To access books on the second floor and above, one needed Kind Attribute points.

To cultivate the spells from the Scripture Pavilion, they had to be exchanged for Kind Attribute points.

Since they had just been admitted, naturally they had no such points.

Li Qian suggested they wait to change their cultivation techniques until they reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, aiming to achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of forty, without unnecessary haste.

Debate Peak was a place for discussing the Dao.

Disciples of the Spirt Control Sect could exchange ideas on Debate Peak, and regularly, Foundation Establishment Cultivators would lecture there, covering a wide range of subjects including beast taming, talisman crafting, alchemy, array setting, artifact refining, brewing, plant cultivation, and fish rearing.

The Spirt Control Sect was renowned for insect repelling and beast taming, but also had disciples proficient in other skills.

Martial Training Peak was where Spirt Control Sect disciples honed their combat skills and engaged in friendly matches, including Beast Battles and insect fighting, always stopping at the point of contact.

After touring around, Zhao Bin and Li Qian escorted them back to Green Cloud Peak.

As Qi Refining Cultivators could not yet dispense with food, Shen Long and the others were also feeling hungry. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

“Alright, you’re on your own now.

If you have any questions, ask Junior Brother Liu,”

Li Qian said before she and Zhao Bin left.
