After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

"No, Master, how about my Second Junior Brother and I take Little Junior Sister out for a stroll? After all, I'm the eldest senior brother at the top of our peak. You should at least give me this favor, right?"

Zhongdao snorted, neither objecting nor agreeing. He just stroked Jiang Liqian's head kindly, told Luo Qing'an to take good care of her, and left the hall.

"Once you are familiar with this place, Master will teach you to start practicing. Don't be in a hurry." Luo Qing'an wiped the small stains on Jiang Liqian's face that she accidentally rubbed, and smiled gently.

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

She knew the way the Tiangan Sect taught its disciples. Although most of the time they were still taught by the master, each batch of new disciples who came to the Tiangan Sect needed to study in Qimingzhai for a year to understand the basic common sense of the cultivation world, the pros and cons and characteristics of various cultivation methods, who the representative figures were, and the precepts left by the ancestors. They also had to learn to read and write, copy the books in Lanxing Pavilion, and calm their hearts.

In the second half of the year, you will also need to learn the introductory techniques of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. These techniques are not restricted by spiritual roots, but can be very convenient for daily life in the world of cultivation.

No matter they are from the inner or outer sect, or direct disciples, there is no special treatment here. At the end of the year, they have to take part in the test held in Qimingzhai. Those who fail the test need to stay in Qimingzhai and study for another year. If they still cannot meet the standards, their status as disciples of Tiangan Sect will be revoked and they will be expelled from the sect.

The most ironclad rule is that no matter how talented the disciple is, even if he or she has learned everything Professor Qimingzhai taught over and over again, he or she must study for a full year.

This was the Tiangan Sect's method of promoting relationships between inner and outer disciples, and also a means of dampening the arrogance of talented disciples. Jiang Liqian had admired the rules left by the founder many times, and she really couldn't imagine what kind of person this founder was.

In her previous life, she had stayed in Qimingzhai obediently for a whole year, but was always disliked by the head monk of Qimingzhai. Every time she stayed, she had to do half a day's work for him.

He often suffered from back pain and fell asleep immediately. He was late for class several times because of this and was severely punished, and half of the books in Lanxing Pavilion were confiscated.

Thinking that she might meet that old man again in this life, Jiang Liqian couldn't help but shudder and secretly curled her lips.

Luo Qingan, who had been holding her hand as they walked forward, sensed her discomfort and turned back to ask softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling a little cold?"

As she spoke, she pretended to take out a cloak from her ring and put it on her, but Jiang Liqian quickly shook her head to stop her.

"I'm fine, Third Sister, I'm not cold."

Luo Qingan was skeptical, but when he saw that she really didn't need it, he gave up.

She pulled her to a stone tablet with the words "Liuli Palace" engraved on it and pointed to a circular pattern in front of the tablet. She showed it to Jiang Liqian: "This is the teleportation array that allows people to travel to various locations on the array peak. When the teleportation array is not activated, it looks like a painting engraved with runes. But once it is activated, it forms a cylindrical space to ensure the safety of those within the teleportation array."

Then he pointed at the stone tablet and said, "If you want to know where this teleportation array will take you, just read the words on the stone tablet."

"But it says 'Glass Palace' here?" Jiang Liqian was puzzled.

Luo Qing'an smiled slightly, held Jiang Liqian's hand, and gently placed her on the stone tablet. In an instant, words with a silver glow appeared under the stone tablet.

A low-grade spirit stone and an alchemy room.

Three low-grade spirit stones, Purple Bamboo Forest.

Seven low-grade spirit stones, Kun Yaju.

……

There are actually more than a dozen lines in total.

Jiang Liqian was a sword cultivator in his previous life. He used a sword wherever he went. He had never seen this thing before, so he widened his eyes in curiosity.

"Do you see that lotus-shaped slot next to the stone tablet? Wherever you want to go, just throw in the amount of spirit stones you want. I guarantee you'll get no cheating."

Jiang Liqian asked curiously, "Can we reach all places on the Array Peak from the teleportation array here?"

Luo Qing'an shook his head. "This stone tablet is engraved with the name of the destination. There are several similar stone tablets for each destination, arranged according to the four directions of east, south, west and north. You have to find the direction of the place you want to go, and then go to the corresponding stone tablet. But it doesn't matter if you don't know the direction. Each stone tablet on Zhenfeng has a panoramic view of the peak. You can find the place you want to go on it."

As he spoke, Luo Qing'an tapped twice on the stone tablet, and immediately a translucent viewing map appeared vertically opposite him.

"However," Luo Qing'an reminded Jiang Liqian, "there are several forbidden areas that the teleportation array won't reach. If you want to go there, you'll have to find a way yourself."

"Forbidden area?" Is there a forbidden area in Zhenfeng? Why has she never heard of it before?

Luo Qingan gave Jiang Li a mysterious glance, raised a finger to his lips, and then smiled slightly with his eyebrows curved.

"Junior Sister, which peak doesn't have its own little secrets, right?"

Jiang Liqian: "..."

So in her previous life, she managed the Tiangan Sect for so long, but it turned out to be in vain?

However, the Sword Peak where she had stayed did have a place unknown to other peaks, and she had stayed there for three years...

Thinking of that painful time when no one answered her calls, the light in Jiang Liqian's eyes, which had originally lit up with curiosity, dimmed again in an instant.

"Junior sister?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or... are you missing home?"

Jiang Liqian came back to her senses instantly and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, Third Sister, I... I was just a little distracted. I have never seen such a magical thing before. I am so surprised..."

Luo Qingan smiled soothingly at Jiang Liqian and touched her face. "I'm your senior sister, and I'm also your family. You don't have to be so restrained with me. You can say whatever you want, act coquettishly or get angry. I won't blame you."

Jiang Liqian was stunned.

Home...family, huh.

[Ding! The young master's inner demon backlash value has decreased by 1%, and the current backlash value is 49%.]

Forty-nine percent?

Jiang Liqian was stunned.

She never thought that a simple word "family" could actually reduce her backlash value by one percent.

In her heart, does she really long for family? But she clearly has a family...

[Ding! The backlash value of the young master's inner demon has increased by 2%. The current backlash value is 51%.]

"..."

Luo Qingan lowered his head and asked her, "Where would you like to go first, Junior Sister?"

Jiang Liqian glanced at the place names on the stone tablet and randomly chose one: "Alchemy Room."

She had never seen the alchemy room at Zhenfeng before, so she didn't know how it compared to Danfeng.

Luo Qing'an didn't expect that she would choose this first. She thought that children would prefer places where they could play, such as the martial arts arena or the purple bamboo forest. However, this was exactly what she wanted.

The alchemy room is her favorite place to go.
