After My Fortune Was Stolen, the Sword Venerable Took Me as His Disciple

Ye Xuan had middle-grade talent and held a pardon token from Baiyun Sect, the number-one sect in Great Yan.

He was guaranteed entry into the inner sect without an exam and would even receive a Condensing Truth Pill for free. He was the first in his generation of the Ye family to receive such an honor.

But when his cousin Ye Bo was found to possess a True Yang Physique, the family took the token that very night and handed it to him instead.

Their reason: “The best candidate should get it.”

Ye Xuan asked for only one thing: a meeting with Yun Huaien.

The old man had founded his sect less than a year ago, and everyone considered it a mere ninth-rate outfit.

Yun Huaien gave him a Myriad Patterns Diagram. “Comprehend a middle-grade martial art within an hour, and I'll accept you!”

Half an hour later, Ye Xuan had grasped it.

When a Baiyun Sect steward came to collect him, he scoffed in the street. “Some rogue cultivator just made up a title to fool you.”

Yun Huaien said nothing. He simply let a trace of his aura show.

He was actually at the peak of the Profound Core Realm!

Because the journey was so long, the sect master came in person to fetch him.

And to everyone's surprise, the sect master, Lin Qingxue, was the first Sword Venerable in tens of thousands of years!

The sect was called the Sword Sect!

Its official ranking: a second-grade sacred ground!

Meanwhile, Baiyun Sect, the top sect in Great Yan, was only a seventh-grade sect.
