"Bai Ying," the Lingxiao Sect Master said somewhat apologetically to Bai Ying, "Qi Haoyuan is my senior brother. Could you please help me check on his situation...?"

The Lingxiao Sect Master gripped his fingers tightly, clearly very nervous. But before he could finish speaking, Bai Ying's voice rang out: "Of course."

The Lingxiao Sect Master's eyes lit up immediately.

He said to Bai Ying, "Qi Haoyuan is now the Grand Elder of the Lingyin Sect, and the Lingyin Sect is the main sect of our Lingxiao Sect."

Bai Ying was clearly surprised: "Main sect?" She had never heard of Lingxiao Sect having a main sect before.

The Lingxiao Sect Master nodded: "Our Lingxiao Sect is a branch of the Lingyin Sect. The Lingyin Sect had no influence in Zhongzhou, so they sent me here to establish our sect."

"When you go to the Lingyin Sect this time, you must not reveal that Qi Haoyuan's lifespan is nearing its end. Actually, you can also cultivate there for a while. The conditions there are much better than here, and the disciples are exceptionally talented."

However, when the Lingxiao Sect Master said this, a hint of pride was clearly visible on his face.

Although the disciples of the Lingyin Sect are all one in ten thousand, he felt that none of them could compare to Bai Ying.

"Bai Ying, don't worry too much. It would be best if you could extend Qi Haoyuan's lifespan. If you can't, it's his fate. Anyway, no matter what the outcome, I've already spoken to him. After you finish refining the medicine for him this time, I'll ask him to give you some guidance. It might be of great benefit to you."

Bai Ying was moved by what the Lingxiao Sect Master said.

She nodded. The Lingxiao Sect Master then led her to the Lingxiao Sect's reception hall.

Standing in the hall was a young man named Ding Yan, who was already at the Golden Core stage. Upon seeing the Lingxiao Sect Master, he immediately bowed to him.

"Uncle-Master Yuxiao, is this the junior sister you asked me to take to the Lingyin Sect?"

After saying that, he glanced at Bai Ying curiously.

Ding Yan wanted to check her cultivation level, as the Lingxiao Sect hadn't sent any disciples to the Lingyin Sect for a long time.

However, he was surprised to find that he could not detect Bai Ying's cultivation level.

His brow furrowed instantly; if he couldn't detect the cultivation level, there were only two possibilities.

One reason was that the girl in front of him had a higher cultivation level than him, and the other was that her cultivation level was so low that he couldn't detect it.

Ding Yan didn't think that a girl as old as Bai Ying could have a higher cultivation level than him; he could only say that her cultivation level was extremely low.

He found it somewhat amusing that such a person was someone the Lingxiao Sect wanted to send to their Lingyin Sect. He could only console himself that perhaps Bai Ying's aptitude was special.

He quickly said to the Lingxiao Sect Master, "Then I will leave with my junior sister."

The Lingxiao Sect Master nodded.

He then handed Bai Ying a communication talisman and said to her, "Once you get there, someone will contact you."

—

Ding Yan looked at Bai Ying, took out an array, and said to Bai Ying, "Junior Sister, just follow me."

Bai Ying followed him into the moving array.

Before Bai Ying could even react, she was immediately transported to a town.

Ding Yan pointed to a mountain range in the distance and said to Bai Ying, "That's our Lingyin Sect. We're currently in Nantian City. We can't fly on swords in this city. We'll have to walk. Junior Sister, come with me."

Bai Ying followed behind Ding Yan, but after taking only two steps, a number of people suddenly walked towards Ding Yan.

"Senior Brother Ding, is this the junior sister you brought back from a small place like the Lingxiao Sect?"

The speaker was a beautiful woman named Yang Anqi.

She was clearly looking at Bai Ying with a curious gaze.

As she spoke, she released her divine sense and probed at Bai Ying, but like Ding Yan, she could not detect Bai Ying's cultivation level.

The curiosity in Yang Anqi's eyes instantly turned into disdain.

Someone without even cultivation was actually sent here by the Lingxiao Sect. This Lingxiao Sect is truly worse than she imagined.

She was initially worried that the disciple sent by the Lingxiao Sect would be very powerful, perhaps even at the Golden Core stage. That could threaten her position.

I never expected it to be like this.

She smiled and said to Bai Ying, "Since this junior sister was chosen by the Lingxiao Sect to come here, her cultivation must be quite strong."

Yang Anqi's words seemed reasonable, but knowing that Bai Ying had no cultivation at all, she still asked such a question, which clearly showed that she had ill intentions.

As soon as Yang Anqi said those words, the men around her couldn't help but laugh.

One of the men ignored Bai Ying and said to Ding Yan, "Senior Brother Ding, we've booked a table at Tianxiang Pavilion. Let's go together."

Ding Yan was clearly tempted by the name Tianxiang Pavilion. The food inside was nourished by spiritual energy, making it not only delicious but also capable of enhancing cultivation. Being able to eat such food was truly a blessing in life.

The banquet at Tianxiang Pavilion is notoriously difficult to book, and now that his friends have actually made reservations, he is clearly very tempted.

Anyway, there's no rush to send Bai Ying to Lingyin Sect.

He immediately agreed, "Great! It'll be perfect to bring my junior sister along to broaden her horizons."

Ding Yan even thought he had been extremely good to Bai Ying. He had actually taken her to such a high-class place to broaden her horizons.

Bai Ying would be extremely shocked and then incredibly excited when she saw those dishes.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ying's face showed no excitement whatsoever; instead, she frowned and said:

"However, I need to get into the Lingyin Sect as soon as possible. I need to see Elder Qi Haoyuan."
