"You guys go about your business, don't worry about me." Ye Xiru waved her hand, telling them to focus on making money and not to bother with her.

Red Wing excitedly approached: "Master Night Alchemist, you're back. Go inside and rest. Would you like some food? I'll have them make some."

Ye Xi shook her head, saying she wasn't hungry yet.

"From now on, we will sell in limited quantities. The best thing is that people can only get what they want."

"What Master Ye Dan said makes sense."

"How's the collection of spirit fruits going these past few days?"

"These are the spiritual fruits I've collected over the past few days." Chi Yi handed Ye Xiruo a spatial ring.

"Everyone has worked hard these past few days."

"Everyone is so happy to earn spirit crystals every day."

Yes, there are spirit crystals to earn, but unfortunately the system swallowed so many spirit stones, so she lost everything. Sigh.

Ye Liusha, unusually, stayed indoors instead of going out to fight. Ye Xiruo knocked on the door.

"Night Sands—"

"Come in."

Ye Xiruo smelled it and found no bloody odor. Good, it seems Ye Liusha hasn't been injured recently.

"I found some information. Let me share it with you."

"What news?"

"We came to the Azure Continent to utilize its resources for proper cultivation, not just to beg for food. Today, I was looking at information at the Leisure Residence. There are several top-tier forces on the Azure Continent. The most suitable for you and Brother Xiu Qi is the Heavenly Sword Sect. Like the Myriad Swords Sect, its disciples are all born for the sword. It is the most outstanding sword sect on the Azure Continent, and the Seven Heavenly Swordsmen are renowned throughout the continent. Tomorrow is the Heavenly Sword Sect's recruitment day. You and Brother Xiu Qi should give it a try. I will go out and investigate the specific recruitment information in the next few days. What do you think?"

"Go." He was truly sparing with his words, not wanting to say a single extra word.

"Brother Xiu Qi, what about you? You can't go to the same sect as me this time; it would be a waste of your talent."

"I know, but I won't go too far away from you."

"I plan to go to the Haoqi Pavilion. It's not far from the Tianjian Sect. The Haoqi Pavilion has one Saint Master and two Divine Masters. That's quite a lineup."

"Then Little Leaf should work hard to become a disciple of the Holy Master."

"That's a Saint Master, the only Saint Master on the entire Azure Continent, someone who stands at the very top of the pyramid. It's probably very difficult to even meet him, let alone have him so easily."

"So, you're going to refuse Alchemist Xuejun Hanxue's offer?"

"That's inevitable. Mo City is just a temporary stop for us. We can't stay here forever."

"It's up to you to decide."

After resting briefly, Ye Xi left the courtyard.

"Shall we go for a stroll, or go to the Bai residence?"

"Of course we're going to the Bai residence." Bai Zheng is almost dead, and she's still out there partying. What is Bai Feng thinking? Should we go back and check on the situation first?

Ye Xiruo was stopped on her way to the Bai residence. The person who stopped her was none other than Xue Junhan.

"Snow Offering, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Little alchemist, I came here specifically to find you."

Ye Xiruo pointed to her face. "Why did you specifically come to me?"

"Is there something you need, Master Xue Dan?"

"Let's find somewhere to talk."

Sure enough, something was up. The three of them found a secluded teahouse, asked for a private room, ordered some tea, and as for the snacks, they gave up on them as they were simply inedible.

After all the tea was served, Xue Junhan gave the order: "Don't come in unless I tell you to."

After the person left, Xue Junhan immediately released his vast spiritual power, setting up a thick barrier.

"Master Xue Dan, is there anything you want to say? We should be safe now."

"I know you want to go to the Righteousness Pavilion. Can I give you that opportunity?"

Why?

“I saw the book you were reading today. You're probably not from the Blue Ocean Continent, so you're not very familiar with the situation there. A pill master as talented as you shouldn't be confined to Mo City. If you want a bigger place to showcase your talent, then you have two choices: the Righteous Qi Pavilion or the Moonlit Valley. This young friend has a natural sword bone, and you two are inseparable, so his only choice can be the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect is millions of kilometers away from the Moonlit Valley, and you two will surely not want to be separated, so you should go to the Righteous Qi Pavilion.”

The analysis was spot on: "So? And then?"

"Then I can help you enter the Righteousness Pavilion smoothly, and even become a personal disciple."

"Who are you? Who is your identity? Why are you helping me?"

"Didn't I already say that I took a liking to you and wanted to take you as my disciple? Now that you want to leave, I naturally can't just let you go like that. I am a Divine Master of the Righteous Qi Pavilion. Every year, tens of thousands of alchemists want to join the Righteous Qi Pavilion, but in the end, only a few dozen can be accepted as disciples. They still have to go through the preliminary selection, the second selection, the re-selection, and the final selection before they have a chance to meet the elders of the Righteous Qi Pavilion. Whether they can be selected or not depends on fate."

Why should I believe you?

"You can choose not to believe me, you'll see when you get there."

"Alright, I believe you. Why did you leave the Haoqi Pavilion and come to Mo City?"

"Of course, it was the Holy Master who guided me. I came here to wait for my disciple, and that person is you."

Isn't the Holy Master an alchemist? How can he also tell fortunes and predict the future? That's too amazing!

"The power of the Holy Master is beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts; you probably can't even imagine it."

“I have seen living holy masters, and I know how powerful they are.”

Xue Junhan: Σ(°△°)︴, wow, my disciple has quite a background. He's a little genius from some higher plane. A Saint Master isn't someone that can be nurtured in just any plane.

"I only saw a terrifying divine thought from afar, but it left a deep impression on me."

"Tell me about the specific grudges between Haoqi Pavilion and Yue Ran Valley." If I really join Haoqi Pavilion, I will inevitably have to clash with the alchemists of Yue Ran Valley.

"Actually, it's nothing much. Master Yue was originally from Yue Ran Valley. He was the last disciple of the previous Valley Master, a prodigy, and was the next Valley Master of Yue Ran Valley. He was devoted to cultivation and had no intention of inheriting the position of Valley Master, so the position of Valley Master fell into the hands of the Valley Master's biological son."

This biological son had envied, been jealous of, and hated Master Yue since he was a child. He was also dissatisfied that he could not compare to Master Yue in any way. His own father was also more affectionate towards Master Yue.

After the previous Valley Master ascended to immortality, his beloved son, together with several elders of Moon Valley, fabricated a charge of betraying the sect and expelled Master Moon.

Disheartened, Master Yue Sheng left Moon Valley and traveled the continent cultivating. He inadvertently saved the Pavilion Master of the Righteous Qi Pavilion and was invited to become the head of the Medicine Hall. After over a thousand years of dedicated cultivation, he finally broke through to the Saint Master level.
