Cultivation: I Signed in with the Talent of an Immortal at the Start

Chapter 801: Third-Rank Status, FavoritismAny trait is extremely valuable.

You must know that treasures capable of improving one’s Aptitude in the outside world are priceless, and extremely hard to find.

Take the meeting gift Master gave him, the Cyan Origin Hongmeng Dao Fruit; that is something only top-tier powerhouses can find by venturing into high-risk areas like the depths of the Sea of Hongmeng. Ordinary Eternal Saints shouldn’t even think about it.

Han Xuanji took a deep breath. He didn’t look at the System’s detailed introduction, but instead bowed to the several Elders before following Leng Qianshuang out of the main hall.

Hun Qianling and Li Tiantong also performed the rites properly, then followed them out. It wasn’t until they were outside the hall doors that they both breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

That feeling of being surrounded by several powerhouses at the Holy Lord level—even as a bystander, it was enough to make one unable to breathe.

Leng Qianshuang walked in front, her pace unhurried, her tone gentle:

“Master has arranged an independent palace for you within the Jiuxuan Palace, located at the convergence of the Spirit Vein on the east side; the Spiritual Qi there is several times denser than elsewhere. There are a hundred attendants, including maidservants, guards, and servants. If you have any needs, just give the order.”

Han Xuanji nodded slightly: “Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister.”

Leng Qianshuang waved her hand: “No need to thank me; this was all Master’s intention. By the way, your status has already been recorded by the Jiuxuan Deity. You can freely enter and exit most places in the Jiuxuan Palace without needing additional applications.”

Han Xuanji paused slightly: “The Jiuxuan Deity?”

Seeing that he seemed unaware, Leng Qianshuang explained a bit more:

“It is the artifact spirit that manages the Jiuxuan Palace, personally crafted by a Saint Venerable of the Holy Court. In this Jiuxuan City, it can exert strength at the peak of the Holy Lord level. It oversees all affairs, big and small, in the Jiuxuan Palace, including the operation of Formations, the distribution of Spiritual Qi, the opening of Secret Realms and spiritual lands, and so on. You have been recorded as Third-Rank. You can communicate with it at any time, and it will handle affairs for you according to your permissions.”

“Then what rank are you, Senior Sister?” Han Xuanji asked curiously.

“I am also Third-Rank.”

Speaking of this, Leng Qianshuang felt a bit sour.

There are nine ranks of status in total, with the highest being the First-Rank of the Nine Profound Saint Lord. When she first became a disciple, she was only Fourth-Rank.

It wasn’t until she stepped into the Saint Realm that she was promoted to Third-Rank.

Yet Han Xuanji was Third-Rank the moment he became a disciple.

It only highlighted the Nine Profound Saint Lord’s favoritism even more.

“Oh.”

Hearing that Leng Qianshuang was a bit unhappy, Han Xuanji, although unsure of what this woman was thinking, quickly shut his mouth and said no more.

Although he didn’t know what Third-Rank status actually meant, his Senior Sister was an Eternal Saint and Master’s eldest disciple, and she was only Third-Rank; it seemed this status was very high.

In that case, it should be much more convenient for him to visit some of the Jiuxuan Palace’s places with Dao Resonance.

Han Xuanji looked at the vast Jiuxuan Palace. On the surface, it covered a vast area, enough to accommodate ten million people, but he could still feel space and time folding within it. There must be many mysteries inside, and the actual area was likely much larger than he had imagined.

And for the so-called Jiuxuan Deity to be able to exert peak Holy Lord strength in this city, it was truly worthy of the name “Deity.”

It seems the foundation of this Jiuxuan Palace is much deeper than he had imagined.

In other words, there are still many places where he can Sign In!

He had come to the right place.

Han Xuanji thought for a moment, still curious, and asked another question:

“Since there is a Jiuxuan Deity, wouldn’t those Elders in the hall just now who manage the inner treasury, finances, and laws be… useless?”

Leng Qianshuang shook her head, her tone carrying a hint of someone who had experienced it all:

“I thought the same thing at first. I heard that initially, the artifact spirit managed everything in Jiuxuan City, big and small. But it was soon discovered that the artifact spirit acted too coldly. While it was efficient and reasonable to have it handle some things, it lacked any human touch. It would only execute strictly according to the rules, without considering any causes, consequences, or special circumstances, which actually caused quite a few problems. Later, Master simply decided to use it only to manage those extremely secretive affairs, leaving the daily matters of Jiuxuan City to the Elders.”

Han Xuanji nodded thoughtfully.

No matter how high its intelligence, it was ultimately not a human heart.

But if too much freedom were given, it might lead to even more serious consequences.

The strength of this Jiuxuan Deity existed more as a final barrier and trump card, rather than a tool for daily management.

Leng Qianshuang did not continue this topic, leading him through several corridors and stopping in front of a hall.

There were several guards in white armor standing on both sides of the hall doors; upon seeing Leng Qianshuang, they all bowed in unison.

“We have arrived. This is your residence.”

Leng Qianshuang pushed open the door and stepped aside to let Han Xuanji enter. “Get settled first. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask the Jiuxuan Deity, or you can come and ask me.”

Han Xuanji stepped into the hall, his gaze sweeping over the scene before him.

A spacious main hall, high ceilings, light filtering in through window lattices inlaid with spiritual jade, casting mottled light and shadows on the floor.

This palace was much more luxurious than he had imagined.

Hun Qianling and Li Tiantong followed behind, both a bit dazed, as if they had suddenly stumbled into another world.

The former thought that this place was more than ten times larger than the Hun Family’s main hall, and the Spiritual Qi was several times denser as well.

Leng Qianshuang did not stay long; after giving a few instructions, she turned and left.

Her footsteps gradually faded away in the corridors, and the light outside the hall doors dimmed slightly as a result.

Han Xuanji stood in the center of the main hall, looked around, and then looked back at Hun Qianling and Li Tiantong. Seeing that they were both still standing there, he couldn’t help but smile:

“What are you still standing there for? This palace is so big, just pick any place to stay. From now on, this will be our place to stay. I have enough cultivation resources to go around.”

Although he hadn’t asked, he knew that as a disciple of the Nine Profound Saint Lord, he would not lack cultivation resources.

With so many resources plus the things he obtained from Signing In, he couldn’t possibly use them all, so it was better to give them to the people around him.

Furthermore, when those disciples and friends from the Immortal Realm arrived, he could have them familiarize themselves with the environment with these two first.

The interior of the palace was extremely vast, with all kinds of facilities.

Han Xuanji naturally chose the main room, which was also the place with the most abundant Spiritual Qi. The Restriction here was quite powerful; even an Eternal Saint could not break in.

“Let me see this harvest.”

Han Xuanji took a deep breath. Counting his harvest was always his favorite thing to do.

The harvest from an eleven-star Sign In location shouldn’t disappoint him, right?
