After the banquet ended, Ye Qingxuan resumed his Cultivation rhythm, even reducing the amount of Medicinal Pills he refined, spending more time on Cultivation.
Although he possessed eternal life, he did not slack off in his Cultivation because of it.
The immortal Dao is long; one slow step leads to many slow steps!
Sometimes, missing an Opportunity means missing it forever. Reaching the Peak of the immortal Dao cannot be achieved by merely relying on eternal life.
Eternal life, to true powerhouses in the immortal Dao, is not much!
If he wanted to reach the absolute Peak, he could not be complacent or slack off in his Cultivation just because he had eternal life.
With the right time, place, and people, sometimes missing the timing means forever missing the chance to reach the Peak!
On the path of Cultivation, the higher one goes, the narrower the path becomes, and the fewer Opportunities there are to help oneself. Missing one could directly cut off the path ahead.
Only by taking one step at a time, overcoming thorns, pressing forward with determination, and persevering, can one seize each Opportunity, transform oneself, and surpass everything!
Therefore, when Ye Qingxuan embarked on the path of immortal Cultivation, he never relied on eternal life. What he valued was merely the assistance eternal life provided him in the early stages.
If, in the future, he could exchange this eternal life for an Opportunity to advance to a higher level, he would not hesitate to discard this so-called eternal life for a chance to ascend further.
Since he reduced his Alchemy time and increased his Cultivation time, Ye Qingxuan's Cultivation speed had become a tiny bit faster than before!
Although it was only a tiny bit faster each day, accumulated over time, this tiny bit of progress began to show significant results.
In just six years, Ye Qingxuan's Cultivation reached his expectation: the Refining Qi Complete Realm.
This was a full year earlier than his previous estimate.
After advancing to Refining Qi Complete, the next step was to open a Blessed Cultivator Institute and use the feedback from its initial opening to advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Before opening a Blessed Cultivator Institute, Ye Qingxuan could not Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm prematurely. Once a Cultivator Breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishment Realm, their essence, Qi, spirit, and Origin begin to solidify.
At that point, trying to separate the essence, Qi, spirit, and Origin to integrate into the Spiritual Land Origin would greatly reduce the success rate!
However, before that, he planned to go home first!
Ye Qingxuan stood in his small courtyard, looking at the sky, a trace of reminiscence flashing in his eyes.
"In a blink of an eye, twenty-two years have passed. It's time to go home and see!"
He joined the Xuantian Sect when he was twelve years old, and now he was thirty-four. It took him twenty-two years to finally Breakthrough to Refining Qi Complete.
If he were outside the Xuantian Sect, he might have needed to hesitate for over a hundred years to achieve his current results, right?
After a final look at the small courtyard where he had lived for twenty-two years, Ye Qingxuan no longer lingered. He opened the courtyard gate, stepped out, and his figure moved further and further away!
Arriving at the Fu Xiu Institute's Affairs Hall, Ye Qingxuan found Steward Bai, Bai Zichun, and respectfully said:
"Steward Bai, this Disciple has already Breakthrough to Refining Qi Complete and has come to register!"
"Breakthrough? So fast?"
Bai Zichun looked at the Disciple in front of him, whom he had only met twice face-to-face, and a look of approval appeared in his eyes:
"You are very good!"
He had already tried to overestimate Ye Qingxuan's Cultivation progress, but he didn't expect Ye Qingxuan to Breakthrough to Refining Qi Complete even faster than his estimate.
The first time he saw Ye Qingxuan was when Ye Qingxuan first entered the Qi Refining Realm and came to the Affairs Hall to register his Cultivation!
And the second time they met was this current occasion.
Although the small courtyards where the Fu Xiu Institute Disciples lived were protected by Formation Restrictions, he could not investigate the situation inside each Fu Xiu Institute Disciple's courtyard.
However, he had a general understanding of each Disciple's Cultivation status through daily observation.
Facing Bai Zichun's praise, Ye Qingxuan's expression remained normal, and he humbly replied:
"Steward, you overpraise me. This Disciple is unworthy!"
These were Ye Qingxuan's heartfelt words. Compared to those true Geniuses, his Cultivation speed was still far behind!
Hearing Ye Qingxuan's humble reply, Bai Zichun was even more satisfied with Ye Qingxuan and sighed in his heart:
"He can endure loneliness, and his Heart-Nature is also excellent. This child has the true demeanor of a Blessed Cultivator!"
Although Ye Qingxuan's talent was not among the best in the Fu Xiu Institute, he was able to surpass several other Disciples with two-element Spiritual Roots on his own, becoming the second person in his cohort to Breakthrough to Refining Qi Complete.
This was within Bai Zichun's expectations; it was just that Ye Qingxuan Breakthrough to Refining Qi Complete a little faster than his estimated time!
As soon as Ye Qingxuan entered the Fu Xiu Institute, he began to live in seclusion, with a continuous daily Cultivation rhythm, all of which Bai Zichun observed.
As for the other Fu Xiu Institute Disciples, after entering the Xuantian Sect, who could be like Ye Qingxuan, enduring loneliness and not curiously exploring the scenery within the Xuantian Sect? How could one ever see enough of the various Peaks?
Most Fu Xiu Institute Disciples basically held the mentality of enjoying themselves as much as possible before officially becoming Blessed Cultivators, spending their days traveling together to various Peaks in the Xuantian Mountain Range, even calling it 'combining work and rest'?
There were even quite a few Fu Xiu Institute Disciples who, at the last moment, could not resist the temptations of the outside world and deliberately delayed their Cultivation speed, just to prolong their playtime.
Time flowed away like this, unnoticed!
Disciples like Ye Qingxuan were extremely rare in the history of the Fu Xiu Institute.
Naturally, Bai Zichun was very fond of such Disciples.
Taking out a map from his In arms, Bai Zichun said kindly:
"This map marks the First-Tier Spiritual Lands born in the Xuantian Mountain Range. You can choose one Spiritual Land to contract yourself."
Taking the map, Ye Qingxuan hesitated:
"Steward, before this Disciple contracts a Spiritual Land, I want to go home to visit my parents. Is that allowed?"
If he contracted a Spiritual Land now, wouldn't he be unable to go back?
Bai Zichun heard Ye Qingxuan's words and said with a chuckle:
"Hahaha, no problem, no problem. You can choose a Spiritual Vein first. After you've chosen and registered the Spiritual Vein, it's fine to go home!"
"Although they are all First-Tier Spiritual Lands, there can be quite a difference between them. Among the remaining First-Tier Spiritual Lands, three have just reached the First-Tier Late Stage."
"Spiritual Lands are first-come, first-served. Securing a good Spiritual Land first will be of great help to your early development."
Hearing Bai Zichun's words, Ye Qingxuan's eyes lit up. He naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse Bai Zichun's kindness.
"Thank you for your guidance, Steward!"
After thanking him, Ye Qingxuan opened the map in his hand and saw over a hundred First-Tier Spiritual Land markings!
Among them, three markings were particularly conspicuous, clearly indicating the locations of those three First-Tier Late Stage Spiritual Lands.
One of these three First-Tier Late Stage Spiritual Lands was not far from the Xuantian Sect's main Peak, Xuantian Peak, about twenty thousand kilometers away, and it was also the closest among all First-Tier Spiritual Lands to Xuantian Peak.
The other two First-Tier Late Stage Spiritual Lands were located in the outer regions of the Xuantian Mountain Range, basically already close to the border of Xuan State.
"Steward, can I go and see these three Spiritual Lands?"
The Xuantian Mountain Range was too vast, and Ye Qingxuan did not plan to see all the Spiritual Lands, so he only intended to look at these three First-Tier Late Stage Spiritual Lands.
Bai Zichun was well-versed in the information about these Blessed Cultivator Institutes, so he did not refuse Ye Qingxuan:
"Yes, there are Teleportation Formations near these three Spiritual Lands, so it won't take much time for you to go and see them!"
Then, Bai Zichun continued:
"Oh, and after officially becoming a Blessed Cultivator, you can have two attendant slots. You can recruit them yourself when you go home!"
"Attendants?"
