Chapter 45: Sect Returning Ceremony

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Generally, large sects would build a spirit beast garden to provide spirit beasts for their disciples. The Tai Qing Sect had just been established, and there were still many things that had not been fully built, such as the spirit beast garden.

So, even if Ye Xuan wanted a spirit beast, the Seventh Elder couldn’t help.

The Seventh Elder probed, “If you want spirit beasts, why don’t you go to the market to take a look? Perhaps there will be good quality ones there.”

Ye Xuan shook his head, but a few neighing sounds came from the distance. He couldn’t help but ask, “What are those?”

“Those are just some ordinary beasts that the disciples brought back. They have neither any demonic power nor intelligence.”

Ye Xuan’s eyes showed he was deep in thought.

Soon, Han Yue suddenly gathered everyone.

Ye Xuan didn’t know what she had been busy with recently, but it was obvious that she was a little tired. Even so, she was still beautiful, maybe even more beautiful in the frail sense.

“I’ve gathered everyone here today because the sect returning ceremony is about to begin.”

Everyone’s expressions became serious at the mention of the sect returning ceremony. They hadn’t seen Han Yue the past few days, and even the matter of merging the Blood Soul Sect had been handed over to her subordinates.

It was because she had been preoccupied with the ceremony, aside from her personal matters.

The other elders had all heard of it, but it was Ye Xuan’s first time hearing it, and his face immediately revealed a somewhat fresh expression.

It turned out that there were seven big sects in the fantasy world. They had developed into a system and controlled all kinds of resources, such as secret realms, cultivation techniques, pills, magical treasures, spiritual beasts, and so on.

Average materials were still fairly obtainable, but the top-grade ones were almost monopolized by them. They were equivalent to multinational listed companies in modern society.

Other sects of various sizes, scattered across the country, were like small companies. If they wanted to succeed, they had to gain the large sects’ investment in order to obtain resources. Otherwise, they would not be able to support their own long-term development.

Then, the problem was, how could they attract the favor of the top sects among so many other sects?

The method was to prove one’s own strength. Only by letting them see one’s value would one invest in nurturing them.

The sect leader would lead a team to prove himself and become a small sect under the protection of a big sect. That was the common belief of everyone.

Over time, it had evolved into today’s sect returning ceremony, which would only be held once every 50 years.

After hearing that, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but mutter, “I didn’t expect the system to be so advanced. Isn’t it no different from attracting investment in the modern world…”

“As everyone knows, the sect returning ceremony is about to begin. There are two main points to be examined. One is the strength of the disciples, and the other is the strength of the sect master.”

Thinking of that, Han Yue had a headache. If she had known that the lower realm was so troublesome, she would have thought of other ways.

She herself was still fine. Although her strength had not yet recovered, she could still deal with the sect returning ceremony. However, most of the sect’s disciples entered via trading spirit stones, so their aptitudes were mixed, which was a bit troublesome.

“In order to improve the strength of the disciples, I’ve specially hired Alchemy King Gu Xi. I hope you can inform the disciples not to miss this opportunity.”

All the elders were in an uproar. They said in disbelief, “Alchemy King Gu Xi? ! The sect head actually had the means to invite the him over?”

“I heard that Alchemy King Gu Xi’s disciples are all very strong. Many sects want to draw them to their side, but they didn’t succeed. Alchemy King Gu Xi formed his own sect, and ordinary people don’t dare to provoke him.”

Alchemy King Gu Xi may have just entered the sky rank, but his pill-refining skills were something everyone looked up to. Because he was always in seclusion, he rarely asked about the outside world, and there were endless people who came to ask for pills.

Even some of the big sects had difficulty inviting him. They never thought that he would agree to the Tai Qing Sect’s invitation this time. It was really unexpected.

As everyone knew, one could offend anyone but those who knew alchemy. No one dared to force their request on him. After all, who hadn’t been injured and bled before? Furthermore, Alchemy King Gu Xi had saved many important figures and had good relations with many major powers.

To offend such a person was no different from courting death.

Han Yue had spent a lot of spirit stones and resources on him. If she hadn’t destroyed the Blood Soul Sect and obtained a lot of magical treasures and spirit pills, she probably wouldn’t have been able to afford his fee.

Other than that, she also took out some things unique to the upper realm. Only then was she able to convince Alchemy King Gu Xi.

“I have to thank Elder Ye this time. If it weren’t for the bountiful harvest from the Blood Soul Sect, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have had this opportunity.”

Hearing that, Xie Yixuan and the others’ eyes darkened. They couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. Ye Xuan had actually stolen the limelight again!

“It’s my duty,” Ye Xuan said very modestly. “Sect master, you’re too kind.”

“In addition, everyone must urge the disciples to cultivate diligently. We should also prepare on our end. We can’t neglect warmly welcoming Alchemy King Gu Xi, lest we be criticized by others.”

After Han Yue finished giving instructions, she suddenly said, “Elder Ye, please stay. I have something to discuss with you.”

Since Ye Xuan was the only one Han Yue asked to stay behind, everyone could not help but feel a little jealous. Xie Yixuan secretly clenched his fists, and the few of them gathered together in private.

Ever since the incident with the Blood Soul Sect, they had lay low, perhaps because they had suffered too great a blow.

After all, they had originally wanted to use the opportunity to establish their prestige and ostracize Ye Xuan. Who would have thought that he would benefit instead? Not only did they create the opportunity for Ye Xuan to show his skills, but they also made him glorious with one battle. Besides, his prestige and reputation in the hearts of the disciples grew higher and higher.

Thinking of that, their expressions turned ugly.
