After completing his objective for this outing, Ye Qingxuan quickly returned to the Fu Xiu Institute, heading back to his own small courtyard.
Upon his return, Ye Qingxuan was just about to take out his Pill Furnace to try his hand at refining Qi Induction Pills.
Unexpectedly, a voice came from outside his courtyard:
"Excuse me, is Junior Brother Ye Qingxuan home?"
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Ye Qingxuan was a bit puzzled.
He knew very few people within the Xuantian Sect; who would come looking for him without reason?
With a question in his heart, Ye Qingxuan stood up, walked out of his room, opened the courtyard gate, and looked at the man standing at the entrance, asking:
"Senior Brother is...?"
The man outside the gate's eyes lit up when he saw Ye Qingxuan open the door, and he smiled slightly, saying:
"Hello, Junior Brother! I am Su Daobin. I apologize for disturbing Junior Brother so abruptly this time!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan asked curiously:
"Senior Brother, is there something you need from me, your Junior Brother?"
Facing Ye Qingxuan's direct question, Su Daobin did not answer immediately but smiled and said:
"Haha, Junior Brother, aren't you going to invite Senior Brother in for a cup of tea?"
Hearing Su Daobin's words, Ye Qingxuan seemed to realize something.
Having been alone for so long, he had indeed overlooked these daily social courtesies.
Of course, this also had to do with his preference for quiet and his reluctance to interact with others.
However, Ye Qingxuan was not someone who completely isolated himself or was unkind to outsiders.
So, upon hearing Su Daobin's reminder, Ye Qingxuan also reacted, saying:
"It is my fault, Junior Brother. Senior Brother, please come in!"
After speaking, Ye Qingxuan extended a hand, stepped aside, and gestured for Su Daobin to enter.
"Then, Senior Brother will trouble Junior Brother."
Su Daobin did not stand on ceremony, responded, and then walked into Ye Qingxuan's small courtyard.
Ye Qingxuan also did not mind.
After leading Su Daobin into the room, the two sat facing each other. Ye Qingxuan poured Su Daobin a cup of hot tea and asked again:
"Senior Brother, may I ask why you have come to see me, your Junior Brother, this time?"
Facing Ye Qingxuan's repeated question, Su Daobin slowly took a sip of tea and explained:
"Junior Brother, there's no need to rush. Senior Brother has come this time simply to pay you a visit!"
Hearing Su Daobin's statement, Ye Qingxuan did not reply but quietly watched Su Daobin.
Seeing that Ye Qingxuan did not respond but quietly watched him, Su Daobin awkwardly cleared his throat and said:
"Junior Brother, ever since you entered the Fu Xiu Institute, you have remained in seclusion, Cultivating for five years. Senior Brother greatly admires this determination.
However, Cultivation always requires a balance of tension and relaxation. Occasionally, one must also relax to relieve tension and pressure."
The quotas for Blessed Cultivators were related to the Spiritual Veins born in the Xuantian Mountain Range and were not available every year.
Only when a certain number of newly born First-Order Spiritual Veins accumulated would the Xuantian Sect release Blessed Cultivator quotas.
The most recent batch of Blessed Cultivator reserve Disciples to enter the institute was Ye Qingxuan's group five years ago.
After that batch of Blessed Cultivator reserve Disciples entered the institute, Su Daobin had visited each of them to get acquainted and exchange contact marks.
However, only Ye Qingxuan, despite Su Daobin's several visits over five years, had always activated the Formation of his small courtyard when he was in seclusion, preventing Su Daobin from meeting him.
Over time, this had become a minor obsession for him.
So, when he unexpectedly learned of Ye Qingxuan's outing this time, Su Daobin hurried over and happened to encounter Ye Qingxuan shortly after his return, leading to the scene that occurred at the beginning.
At this moment, Ye Qingxuan, across from him, felt somewhat indifferent upon hearing Su Daobin's words.
His own nature was like this; he felt very fulfilled by peacefully secluding himself for Cultivation, and did not experience the tension and pressure that Su Daobin mentioned.
However, Su Daobin's intentions were good, so Ye Qingxuan still expressed his thanks:
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother. Junior Brother will pay attention in the future!"
Although he agreed verbally, he would not easily waver from his own path because of others' words!
Su Daobin nodded. He could see that this Junior Brother's nature was like this, so he stopped wasting words and spoke directly:
"Senior Brother has come this time for two reasons: first, to befriend Junior Brother, and second, to exchange contact marks with Junior Brother. May I?"
After stating his purpose, perhaps fearing Ye Qingxuan would not agree, Su Daobin spoke again to explain:
"Although we Blessed Cultivators will sit in one place, to develop our Blessed Land well, it is not enough to work in isolation. We still need mutual communication, which can help avoid many detours in the future!"
This was also the reason why Su Daobin spent a small amount of time in the Fu Xiu Institute, making friends with many Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers.
The Disciples of the Fu Xiu Institute were all future Blessed Cultivators.
Establishing contact with these people, even if they each secluded themselves in their own Blessed Lands later, they could still exchange experiences on Blessed Land construction.
Although it was already decided that he, Su Daobin, would become a Blessed Cultivator, he would not easily resign himself to fate.
Even if he became a Blessed Cultivator, he wanted to be the one who lived the longest.
Living long, there would always be hope in the days to come, Su Daobin firmly believed in this!
Ye Qingxuan, who had originally intended to refuse, hesitated for a moment after hearing Su Daobin's last sentence, and finally agreed:
"Since that is the case, Junior Brother will respectfully comply."
So, the two took out their respective Disciple tokens and exchanged contact marks.
Although Ye Qingxuan preferred quiet, as long as it was beneficial to his Cultivation, he did not mind giving it a try.
And clearly, Su Daobin's words had some truth to them.
Although Ye Qingxuan believed in himself, he was not someone who couldn't listen to others' opinions.
After the two exchanged contact marks, Su Daobin was noticeably more enthusiastic and subconsciously asked:
"May I ask if the Blessed Cultivator quota Junior Brother received is for a newly born Spiritual Land, or for inheriting a Senior's Blessed Land?"
Hearing Su Daobin's words, Ye Qingxuan asked curiously:
"Blessed Land quotas are divided into two types?"
Seeing that Ye Qingxuan didn't know, Su Daobin smiled proudly, took another sip of tea, and explained:
"It's normal for Junior Brother not to know. Most of these Blessed Cultivator quotas are for newly born Spiritual Lands, and in the future, one will contract with the Spiritual Land where a newly born First-Order Spiritual Vein is located.
Besides these, there are also a small number of Blessed Lands left behind after former Blessed Cultivators passed away.
These Blessed Lands can be inherited by other Cultivators who Cultivate the Earth Source Art, and this is the only opportunity for everyone to directly contract with high-grade Blessed Lands.
However, such quotas are extremely rare and are highly sought after in the Xuantian Sect. Furthermore, Disciples of the same Family as the former Blessed Cultivator have priority in contracting, so such quotas are rarely released externally."
At this point, Su Daobin spoke again mysteriously:
"As far as I know, there are only two people in the Fu Xiu Institute currently who possess such quotas, and one of them is from the same batch as you, Junior Brother."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan's heart stirred, and he asked curiously:
"Who is it?"
Seeing Ye Qingxuan's curious expression, Su Daobin was very satisfied, so he smiled and spoke a name:
"Lin Fan!"
"Lin Fan?"
Ye Qingxuan silently recited the name in his heart, but he had no impression of Lin Fan in his mind. He just secretly remembered the name Lin Fan.
After Su Daobin finished speaking, seeing that it was getting late, he stood up and said apologetically:
"I didn't expect to delay Junior Brother for so long. Senior Brother feels a bit bad. Senior Brother will take his leave now!"
Seeing this, Ye Qingxuan also stood up to see him off:
"Senior Brother is too polite. Through this exchange with Senior Brother, Qingxuan has gained much insight. Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Although Su Daobin had delayed him a little, he was not without gain.
If others treated him with kindness, he would naturally treat others with kindness!
Ye Qingxuan stood up and saw Su Daobin to the door, preparing to turn back.
Unexpectedly, seeing Ye Qingxuan being so polite, Su Daobin kindly reminded him again:
"Junior Brother, even if they are both entry-level Spiritual Veins, their environments are all different. If you Breakthrough to Qi Refining Complete first, you can choose a Spiritual Land node earlier.
A good Spiritual Land might save Junior Brother a lot of trouble!
My words are done. Senior Brother bids farewell."
After speaking, Su Daobin turned and left!
He had been in the Fu Xiu Institute for over thirty years and was now about to Breakthrough to Qi Refining Complete and leave the Fu Xiu Institute to open a Blessed Land.
Before leaving, he saw that Ye Qingxuan was very polite to him and showed no signs of annoyance.
Moreover, after their recent conversation, Su Daobin had guessed that Ye Qingxuan was probably from a small Family, and therefore was unfamiliar with many pieces of information that were not considered secrets.
So, he had a sudden idea to remind Ye Qingxuan, just to forge a good connection. As for whether it could truly help Ye Qingxuan, Su Daobin wasn't too concerned.
After Su Daobin left, Ye Qingxuan felt very grateful to Su Daobin!
The information Su Daobin shared before leaving was of no small help to Ye Qingxuan.
However, this further confirmed that his decision was correct.
Only by refining Spirit Enhancement Pills himself, with the help of enough Spirit Enhancement Pills, could he slowly pull ahead of others, Breakthrough to Qi Refining Perfection first, and choose a suitable Spiritual Land to open his Blessed Land!
Ye Qingxuan's current Cultivation was only at Qi Refining third layer, and he still had a long way to go.
What he needed to do now was to follow his plan, step by step.
