168: Yin Xiaotong’s choice!

“Alright then, I won’t bother you any longer. This is my Lingdan Sect’s token. If you decide to choose my Lingdan Sect, simply crush it, and I will appear as soon as possible to bring you into the Sect.”

“Okay, thank you for your kindness, Senior!”

As soon as Yin Xiaotong finished speaking, the person in front of her vanished.

Yin Xiaotong had originally intended to find her mother, but after the previous events, she returned to her room.

She also realized how appealing her successful comprehension of a Cultivation Technique was to the Three Great Sects. Since one Sect hadn't arrived yet, she decided to wait.

As Yin Xiaotong expected, it wasn't long before someone from the Ancient Pill Sect appeared before her.

This time, without waiting for the person to speak, Yin Xiaotong took the initiative and said,

“Yin Xiaotong greets the Senior from the Ancient Pill Sect!”

The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this.

“This little girl is quite clever. It seems the people from the other two Sects have already been here, haven't they?”

“Yes, Senior, they have!”

“Then I won't beat around the bush. My Ancient Pill Sect wishes to accept you as a Disciple and offers the following conditions.”

“First, upon entering the Sect, you will immediately become a Core Disciple! You will enjoy all the rights and benefits of a Core Disciple!”

At these words, Yin Xiaotong was somewhat shocked. Immediately becoming a Core Disciple upon entering the Sect?

“Second, my Sect Master will personally accept you as a Personal Disciple and fully guide your cultivation.”

“Third, you may choose one Heaven Rank top-grade Magic Treasure.”

“I don't even need to think to know that the resources offered by the other two Sects are definitely much higher than what my Ancient Pill Sect can provide. However, young lady, you must think clearly; some things cannot be exchanged with resources.”

“My Sect Master is the Grandmaster of Alchemy in Danling State! His cultivation has even reached Nascent Void sixth-level! Having such a master to guide you is something no amount of treasure can compensate for.”

Yin Xiaotong listened to the old man's words and cupped her fists, saying,

“I am truly overwhelmed by your Sect's high regard, Xiao Tong is truly flattered... It's just...”

Yin Xiaotong didn't know what to say for a moment. She worried that mentioning Lu Hao's matter would cause trouble for her master.

Based on their time together, she knew that her master had a personality that greatly disliked trouble.

After a brief silence, the old man spoke proactively:

“It's alright, little girl, you must think carefully before making a decision! Make sure you don't regret it...”

“Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Xiao Tong understands.”

“Heh heh, then I'll be going now.”

The old man's figure instantly vanished, leaving behind a token from the Ancient Pill Sect.

Once everyone had left, Yin Xiaotong looked at the three tokens with a bitter smile.

The tokens of the Three Great Sects.

Before Yin Xiaotong, no one had ever received any of them!

Even an Innate Dao Body would absolutely not command such importance from the Three Great Sects.

If Cultivators from the outside world knew that Yin Xiaotong had actually received three tokens, they would surely lose their minds from jealousy.

Sometimes, comparing oneself to others can truly be infuriating.

No matter which Sect Yin Xiaotong chose, her future was destined for boundless glory!

However, Yin Xiaotong put away the three tokens, silently placing them back into her Storage Pouch. She would not choose any of them.

Lu Hao was the only master she recognized in her heart.

The Three Great Sects were merely interested in the potential she had displayed, and while this was understandable—Sects certainly look at talent when recruiting Disciples—

Lu Hao was the one who accepted her as a Disciple upon their first meeting; his feelings for her absolutely contained no selfish motives!

She absolutely could not betray her master because of these matters; if she did, she would despise herself.

After Yin Xiaotong had thought clearly, she walked out of the door.

After the people from the Three Great Sects had each visited, they all returned to their respective Sects.

Each Sect's representatives were confident that Yin Xiaotong would be unable to refuse the conditions they offered.

So, upon returning to their Sects, they all waited for their tokens to be crushed.

But at this moment, Yin Xiaotong had already returned to Lu Hao's side and resumed practicing Alchemy.

Once she began Alchemy, her mind would become exceptionally focused! The matters of the Three Great Sects had long been cast to the back of her mind.

A week later, within the Miao Dan Sect, Suzaku Protector sighed in front of the Sect Master and said,

“Sect Master, my token was not crushed. This Yin Xiaotong must have chosen one of the other two Sects. I wonder which one she ultimately chose...”

Qi Yuda heard the Suzaku Protector's words, and his eyes did not show much regret. He said indifferently,

“It's alright. After all, she is just a Core Formation Cultivator. If we didn't get her, then we didn't get her. Perhaps it's even a good thing.”

The Suzaku Protector shook her head and left.

She felt quite regretful in her heart; she had thought very highly of this girl.

Within the Lingdan Sect, Zheng Zhixing also said to the Sect Master,

“It seems that female Cultivator chose the Miao Dan Sect. I truly don't know what conditions the Miao Dan Sect offered; we gave such superior conditions, yet she still didn't choose us!”

“Elder Zheng, we did our best and left the rest to fate. Perhaps she was snatched by the Ancient Pill Sect, who knows? Since things have come to this, let it be.”

Within the Ancient Pill Sect, the old man shook his head and sighed,

“Ah, that little girl, she was still blinded by some resources. Missing the opportunity to become the Sect Master's Personal Disciple is truly a foolish choice... Alas...”

...

The people from the Three Great Sects all believed that Yin Xiaotong had been won over by one of the other two Sects, completely unaware that Yin Xiaotong had chosen none of the three Sects!

Such a thing was impossible in their eyes.

Above Danling State, was there anyone who could refuse their Three Great Sects?

Yin Xiaotong had returned to the village and had already been practicing Alchemy for three days.

The third step was to activate the medicinal properties!

After Alchemists fused the purified medicinal ingredients, they used the inherent properties of the ingredients themselves to activate the medicinal properties of the entire Medicinal Pill.

This step was extremely difficult; even a slight mistake would result in all the medicinal ingredients being completely ruined!

However, under the amplification of her tenfold cultivation, Yin Xiaotong's mastery of activating medicinal properties was deepening at an extremely rapid pace!

Currently, she was already able to activate sixty percent of the medicinal properties of the entire ingredients.

But Yin Xiaotong was not satisfied; her goal was seventy percent!

From the first stage of purification to the second stage of Fusion, Yin Xiaotong had extremely high demands on herself!

In her mind, if it didn't reach seventy percent, it would inevitably affect the subsequent Pill Formation!

Therefore, she had always strictly demanded herself with such extremely terrifying conditions.

Even after reaching seventy percent, she was still a bit unhappy, always feeling as if she hadn't done well enough.

The Alchemists outside all looked so impressive; they could definitely achieve over seventy percent!

Even reach one hundred percent!!
