86: Enter the sect

Lu Xingchen sighed heavily after receiving an affirmative reply.

This... he and Yun Li were three Great Realms apart. How could he possibly fight her?

If Yun Li had been a little less patient back then and actively removed the Seal, wouldn't he have been dead?

The Saintess of Cangxuan Sect was truly terrifying!

Hearing Lu Xingchen's sigh, Hua Li's lips curved slightly, and she proudly raised her head.

Becoming a follower of Yun Li was the proudest achievement of her life.

Seeing Lu Xingchen in such a predicament, all due to her master's power, she felt a little smug.

Then, Hua Li adopted a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Lu Xingchen, the Saintess told me about your situation. There is indeed some Karma between you two, and the Saintess also has a good impression of you."

"But I advise you not to harbor any improper thoughts about the Saintess, and even more, not to flaunt your power using her name."

"Because the gap between you two is simply too vast. You cannot bear this Karma, and you might even play with fire and burn yourself."

Lu Xingchen felt a little displeased.

This Hua Li was actually lecturing him!

What right did she have?

She merely had a good rebirth, starting at a slightly higher point than him, that was all.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Miss Hua Li, please rest assured. I already have a girlfriend. Even if the Saintess actively pursues me, I will not accept her."

Hearing this, Hua Li was slightly stunned.

Why did that assurance sound so strange?

What did "even if the Saintess actively pursues me" mean?

Was he being picky?

Hua Li snorted coldly, "Your mouth is quite glib. I've said my piece; whether you listen or not is your business."

Another hour passed, and the two arrived at the office of an Elder responsible for new Disciple registration in the Outer Sect.

Hua Li knocked on the door. Three minutes later, a thin, white-haired old man opened the door.

As soon as he saw Hua Li, a smile appeared on his Face.

After all, Hua Li was an Inner Sect Disciple, her status equivalent to his as an Outer Sect Elder, and her strength was not to be underestimated.

More importantly, she was a follower of the Saintess.

That made her even more worthy of attention!

The old man asked gently, "Miss Hua Li, what brings you to me?"

Hua Li said softly, "Elder Lin, this young man is my friend. I'd like to get him an Outer Sect Disciple identity. I wonder if Elder Lin can do me this favor?"

Elder Lin pondered for a moment, then said gently, "Although this year's recruitment ceremony has passed, out of consideration for Miss Hua Li's Face, we can make an exception for him."

Ah, this... Hearing their conversation, Lu Xingchen was slightly surprised.

So straightforward?

Having a backer felt great.

Then Elder Lin looked at Lu Xingchen, his tone no longer as gentle, merely saying blandly, "You're Lu Xingchen, correct? I am Outer Sect Elder Lin Mang, responsible for the recruitment and management of new Disciples. If you have any issues in the future, you can find me. What Realm have you Cultivated to? I'll register it."

"Eight-Star Great Martial Master," Lu Xingchen said indifferently.

Hearing this, both Lin Mang and Hua Li were stunned.

An Eight-Star Great Martial Master was somewhat ridiculously weak in Cangxuan Sect.

After all, the standard for recruiting Disciples into Cangxuan Sect had to be above Martial Spirit.

Lin Mang frowned tightly, "This is a bit difficult. The sect rules are clear: Outer Sect Disciples of Cangxuan Sect must possess Martial Spirit strength. I dare not arbitrarily break the rules."

Hua Li nodded slightly, "It's fine, I understand. If it's too much trouble, then let's just drop it!"

Upon hearing the words "Eight-Star Great Martial Master," Hua Li's impression of Lu Xingchen had dropped to freezing point.

So weak, yet he dared to associate with the Saintess, and even brazenly claimed he would catch up to her.

It was better to get rid of him as soon as possible!

As for the Saintess, she could fabricate a lie and push the blame onto Lu Xingchen.

Since he was already gone, wouldn't she be the one to decide what was right and wrong?

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen frowned.

Just like that?

He had spent so much time coming to Cangxuan Sect, yet he couldn't even become an Outer Sect Disciple. This was simply too frustrating!

This Hua Li was too careless in her work; she was practically eager for him to leave!

Indeed, relying on others was unreliable; one had to have their own strength.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Elder Lin, please wait. Although I am only an Eight-Star Great Martial Master, I have a profession that Elder Lin should find interesting."

Lin Mang said indifferently, "Speak."

Lu Xingchen continued, "I am a Fourth-Grade Alchemist."

Hearing this, both were somewhat surprised.

Alchemists were incredibly rare no matter where, and Cangxuan Sect was no exception.

Although Cangxuan Sect did not lack Fourth-Grade Alchemists, and even had Alchemists of higher ranks, Lu Xingchen's advantage was his youth.

If he advanced to fifth-grade, or even sixth-grade in the future, even Cangxuan Sect would have to take him seriously!

Lin Mang nodded heavily, "The power of a Fourth-Grade Alchemist far exceeds that of an ordinary Martial Spirit. Lu Xingchen, you indeed have the qualifications to enter the Outer Sect. But I need proof!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Alright, I'll give you proof!"

With that, Lu Xingchen opened the System Mall and exchanged five thousand exchange points for a profound grade high-rank Medicine Cauldron named the black rock cauldron.

The green stone cauldron he had previously tricked Lin Qingzhu out of was already somewhat insufficient.

Lu Xingchen took out the black rock cauldron from his Storage Ring, ignited it with the Purple Crystal Flame, and demonstrated his Alchemy to Lin Mang on the spot.

As soon as the Purple Crystal Flame appeared, Lin Mang and Hua Li were once again shocked.

Both were well-informed and immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the Purple Crystal Flame.

It could not only assist Alchemists in refining Medicinal Pills but also attach to battle Qi, enhancing the user's combat power. It was a rare Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure.

Even within Cangxuan Sect, it was an extremely scarce existence!

One after another, Spirit Medicines were thrown into the black rock cauldron, transforming into lumps of medicinal liquid under Lu Xingchen's control, then fusing together.

From the moment Lu Xingchen began refining until the Medicinal Pill was formed, it only took half an hour.

One must know that previously, Lu Xingchen would have needed an hour to refine a fourth-grade elixir.

Such tremendous progress was inseparable from the help of the Purple Crystal Flame and his powerful Soul Power.

Half an hour later, a fourth-grade rejuvenation pill appeared in the Medicine Cauldron.

Lu Xingchen took out the Medicinal Pill and handed it to Lin Mang.

"Elder Lin, please inspect it!"

Lin Mang took the Medicinal Pill and examined it carefully.

Three minutes later, he said with surprise in his tone, "A perfectly flawless fourth-grade elixir! I have seen countless Medicinal Pills in my life, but I have never seen one of such high quality."

Hearing Lin Mang's high praise, Hua Li was also slightly surprised.

It seemed this Lu Xingchen wasn't as useless as she thought!

Although his strength was a bit weak, his Alchemy was quite presentable.

However, it had not yet reached the point where she would take him seriously.

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly and said solemnly, "Then, Elder Lin Mang, can you process my sect entry procedures now?"
