Since everything was ready, Qin Xuan didn't rush to do other things, but honestly began to tidy up the Medicinal Garden.
Even if it was just for show, he had to go all out.
After tidying up the Medicinal Garden, the sky had already darkened.
"What's going on with this Medicinal Garden? Why is it so messy, like no one is taking care of it? Was there no one to manage the Medicinal Garden before?"
Looking around, seeing that the sky had already darkened and it was almost night, Qin Xuan nodded.
"It seems the right time is approaching."
He was waiting for the night to fully descend.
As night slowly enveloped the entire sky, Qin Xuan finally nodded slightly, and his Mental Energy entered the Immortal Cave.
Inside the Immortal Cave at this moment, Ma Elder was researching something.
Qin Xuan, of course, had no interest in what a Di Xuan Realm Cultivator researched. He directly used his Mental Energy to put this person to sleep, and then quietly left the place.
"A Di Xuan Realm Elder, presumably the highest cultivation in the Sect is only Tianxuan Realm. As long as I am careful, there shouldn't be any problems."
Qin Xuan pondered, concealing his figure in the darkness, and then secretly began to inspect this Sect.
"Little White, did the Great Figure you followed back then tell you where the entrance to this ruin is?"
Qin Xuan asked curiously.
Hearing this, Little White shook his head.
"No, the Great Figure only told me to come here to find what I wanted. As for where to find the entrance, I don't know either."
"Besides, the Great Figure couldn't have known that there would be a new Sect on top of these ruins back then."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded.
To be honest, even now, Qin Xuan didn't know if that ruin still existed.
Perhaps in the long river of time, that ruin had already been completely erased.
That was also uncertain.
"Forget it, whether the ruin is there or not, I have to look for it. After all, a very powerful Sect once existed here."
Besides, such a powerful Sect must have been strong. Even if the ruins they left behind had been explored many times, as long as there was a slight omission, it would certainly not be simple.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan immediately began to search enthusiastically.
He certainly wouldn't go to the front courtyard of the Sect now.
He first went to the back mountain of Qixia Sect.
The back mountain of Qixia Sect was protected by a simple Formation. It was clear that Qixia Sect itself didn't value it much, so Qin Xuan easily entered the back mountain without damaging the Formation.
Looking around, everything was silent, not even the chirping of insects or birds.
"I wonder if there's anything here."
Qin Xuan pondered, his gaze sweeping over a row of caves on the Mountain Peak.
Judging by the traces, these caves should have been newly excavated not long ago.
"Should we go and take a look?"
Little White was a bit indecisive, asking Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan shook his head repeatedly, directly rejecting the suggestion.
Nothing else, these rock caves were obviously newly dug. Since they were newly dug, even if he went, he wouldn't find anything useful.
Besides, Qin Xuan wasn't very interested in these rock caves.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan's gaze swept around, preparing to continue searching.
Just as he was about to act, Qin Xuan suddenly held his breath and stopped.
Someone was coming.
Qin Xuan immediately hid to the side, concealing himself.
Sure enough, not long after, someone else also quietly slipped into the Formation.
"It's him!"
Qin Xuan's gaze swept over this person.
With the blessing of his double pupils, he naturally saw through this person at a glance.
This person was the Disciple who, like Qin Xuan, participated in the assessment and was selected during the day.
Looking at this person, Qin Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It seems that although the ruins here have been leveled on the surface, there are still many people who come here to try their luck."
Qin Xuan pondered, not showing himself.
After searching around, this person found nothing and couldn't help but curse.
"Damn it, I checked so many ancient books to confirm it was here, but after searching and searching, there's nothing."
"Or, has someone already gotten here first?"
This person kept cursing.
Then he started searching again nearby, and finally he drilled into the rock caves, starting to search them one by one, wanting to see if there was anything.
Just as Qin Xuan was about to emerge from the darkness, suddenly another person walked into the Formation.
Secretly looking at the newcomer, Qin Xuan immediately bared his teeth.
It was another Disciple who had entered the Sect with them during the day.
This person, like the previous one, also came here to search.
But after finding nothing, he also complained and then hurried into the rock caves along the mountain wall.
"Are these people crazy? They're so arrogant as soon as they arrive. They're completely disregarding the Qixia Sect."
Qin Xuan frowned.
Besides, entering and exiting the Qixia Sect's back mountain so frequently was too arrogant.
"Even a group of Disciples who just entered the Sect are this arrogant. As long as the Elders of Qixia Sect aren't fools, they should realize there's a problem."
Just as Qin Xuan was pondering, inside the Qixia Sect's Meeting Hall, the Qixia Sect Master and several Elders were constantly discussing something.
"How about the new ones this year?"
The Qixia Sect Master was a thin old man, whose cultivation was only at Tianxuan Realm First Stage. He rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Reporting to Sect Master, thirteen people joined the Sect this year. One of them was directly accepted as a core Disciple, and the other twelve were accepted as Disciples by various Elders."
"Are the origins of these thirteen people unclear?"
The old man asked with a frown.
Hearing this, the other few people exchanged glances and nodded.
"That's right, all thirteen of them have unknown origins, but two of them are undoubtedly Mortals. As for the others..."
The person's words were unfinished, but the implied meaning was naturally self-evident.
"So, this year our Sect really only accepted two Disciples?"
The old man gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Yes, but one of them cannot cultivate and was assigned to the general duties, and the other has very poor Aptitude and was taken by Ma Elder, who said it was to manage the Medicinal Garden..."
"Hmph, manage the Medicinal Garden? Ma Elder sends a Disciple to manage the Medicinal Garden every year, and each time the Disciple mysteriously disappears. Our Sect hasn't recruited many talented Disciples in these past few years, and they all end up becoming Ma Elder's people. It's ridiculous!"
An Elder was complaining.
Hearing this, the Qixia Sect Master sighed deeply.
"Ma Elder's situation is special, you don't need to worry about it. We still rely on his Medicinal Pills, so let him be. Can you confirm that the others are not ordinary people?"
"I can confirm it!"
An Elder nodded, but he, a Profound Earth Third Stage, swallowed hard.
"I can confirm that among these eleven people, the weakest cultivation is at Tianxuan Realm Eighth or Ninth Stage, and there are even a few Yuqing Realm ones. With the strength of our Qixia Sect..."
Hearing this, the Qixia Sect Master smiled bitterly.
"What, do you still want to deal with them? I'm telling you, just like in previous years, let them be. Although we can't defeat them, as long as we don't expose them, generally speaking, they won't cause trouble."
"As for what they are looking for, let them find it themselves. If you see it, pretend you didn't, otherwise, it will be us who are embarrassed."
Hearing this, everyone gave a bitter smile.
This was something that couldn't be helped.
After all, for the Sect, the current situation was like this. If they were to make it clear, these people's strength would be enough to destroy the Qixia Sect dozens of times over.
In this situation, as long as they weren't insane, even if they saw it, they had to pretend not to.
This way, others might still give them some Face.
But if the Qixia Sect really disregarded its dignity, then those people would help the Qixia Sect have dignity.
