Therefore, after receiving Ye Xiruo's message, the two went into seclusion to comprehend what they had gained during this period, striving to adjust their strength to the highest level before facing the most crucial challenge.

The turmoil within the Heavenly Sword Sect continues, and rumors about Xiu Qiyu and Ye Liusha have never ceased, though these rumors no longer concern the two of them.

While Ye Xiruo was in seclusion refining pills, Uncle Bai had already returned to Haoqi Pavilion on his giant white crane.

Zishu has recently become a prominent figure in the Haoqi Pavilion. Whether it's the alchemists from the Medicine King Pavilion or other martial artists, everyone wants to meet him.

Why? Ye Xiruo's past glory is nothing now. After all, Ye Xiruo's talent is so strong that everyone is convinced. It's fortunate that such a freak came to harm their Haoqi Pavilion. If this monster went to Yue Ran Valley, their Haoqi Pavilion would be in danger.

Therefore, their feelings towards Ye Xiruo were very conflicted, a mixture of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

However, the fact that Ye Xiruo had already become a disciple of Xue Junhan, instead of directly becoming a disciple of the Holy Master, slightly calmed their jealousy.

Just what is the origin of this book? Elder Meng actually came here in person, yet he still hasn't succeeded.

Elder Meng's status in the Haoqi Pavilion is no less than that of the Holy Master. The key point is that Elder Meng is a martial artist, not an alchemist. So why did he choose Zishu, an alchemist, from among so many people who were crying and begging to be accepted as his disciples?

The baby is completely indignant and really wants to put a black burlap sack over Zishu's head.

Inside the Medicine King Pavilion, there was a lot of sour talk about Zishu's luck.

However, Zishu didn't care. He could easily handle the challenges from those martial artists. "You're just a martial artist, yet you dare to challenge an alchemist? Is this how your sect teaches you to bully the weak?"

Those martial artists will surely slink away in disgrace, after all, Haoqi Pavilion is a prestigious and righteous sect, and they really cannot do something that would disgrace their sect if it got out.

What about the challenge from the alchemists? I accept. No alchemy test, just draw your swords and meet on the arena. A barrage of swords might fail against swordsmen like Xiu Qiyu, but it's more than enough to deal with these alchemists.

Zishu taught more than a dozen alchemists a lesson with a single move, and they all became obedient.

Yingxun has gone into seclusion after gaining some insights, so he no longer needs to deal with this pile of troubles.

Zishu did want to go into seclusion, but after only three days, rumors spread that he was scared and had become a coward, hiding away.

Zishu immediately drew his sword, showing no mercy this time. Even if those alchemists took pills, they would need to lie in bed for at least a month to recover.

If there's a next time, then three months—he's already infamous.

Fortunately, Zishu received a message from Ye Xiruo, who described the wonders of the Heavenly Sword Sect's sword tower, which naturally piqued Zishu's interest.

Although he wasn't a born swordsman, he still preferred swords among the many weapons. If it weren't for protecting Ye Xiruo, he would definitely have gone to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Now that he has the opportunity to visit the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zishu is overjoyed.

He immediately consulted Elder Xue Junhanxue and headed straight for the Heavenly Sword Sect. His reason was that he hadn't seen his junior sister for a long time and was very worried, so he decided to go there personally to check on her and ensure her safety.

Xue Junhan had no reason to disagree, and even brought Zishu several top-grade magical artifacts, some offensive and some defensive, in order to make sure he took good care of himself and protected Ye Xiruo.

Zishu quickly arrived at the Heavenly Sword Sect on his sword, where he naturally saw the towering Heavenly Sword, which was filled with immense pressure and reached into the clouds.

As expected, seeing is believing. The name of the Body Heaven Sword is indeed extraordinary. Zishu's inner universe was instantly ignited.

"Who dares to trespass on the sacred grounds of the Heavenly Sword Sect?" Just then, Zishu, who was about to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect with great pride and arrogance, was stopped.

Zishu touched his nose: "Unauthorized entry? I didn't trespass. I was outside the door. You can see clearly."

"Alright, what are you doing outside the door? You're going to cause trouble for the Heavenly Sword Sect."

"Which eye of yours saw that I was going to harm the Heavenly Sword Sect? Isn't your Heavenly Sword Sect recruiting new members this year? I'm here to participate in the assessment."

Zishu was immediately looked at with an expression as if he were an idiot: "The Heavenly Sword Sect's assessment is over. They will recruit disciples again in three years. Come back then." How pitiful, being late is being late. The Heavenly Sword Sect will not make exceptions for anyone. That is the rule of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"Can't we be more accommodating? Can't we make an exception and admit him/her?"

"Who do you think you are? Admitting me through special admissions, do you think you're Xiu Qiyu?"

"What's wrong with Xiu Qiyu? Xiu Qiyu is my younger brother."

"Heh, he's obviously a liar."

"What are you doing? What do you want to do in broad daylight?"

"You'd better leave the Heavenly Sword Sect right now, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Judging by the time, Junior Sister should be out by now. The guards of the Heavenly Sword Sect are truly a mixed bag.

Are you leaving or not?

"I'm not leaving."

"Everyone, attack together and drive this person out."

"Wait a minute."

Ye Xiruo rubbed her forehead. Why did her senior brother always have to cause trouble? How did she end up clashing with the guards?

"Night Alchemist."

"This is my senior brother, Zishu Alchemist from Haoqi Pavilion. He has been invited to Tianjian Sect. Please forgive him."

Guardian: Σ(°△°|||)︴This guy is really a pill refiner.

"Please welcome Alchemist Zishu." Upon learning of Zishu's arrival, the two elders were delighted and immediately followed Ye Xiruo out.

"Thank you, elders."

"Master Zishu has come from afar, please get some rest."

"Thank you, elders."

Zishu's courtyard is right next to Ye Xiruo's. It is quiet, secluded, natural, and simple, which shows how much Tianjian Sect values ​​Zishu.

"Junior Sister, are you alright?"

"I am doing well. The Heavenly Sword Sect is not like the rumors outside, which say they are all sword fanatics who only know how to fight and duel every day. They are straightforward, righteous, and have a strong sword spirit. The atmosphere of the sect is also very good. Although they value martial arts, they are not unreasonable."

"You're not being prejudiced, are you? Just because Xiu Qiyu is here, you're deliberately embellishing this place, aren't you?"

"Senior Brother, you'll see for yourself if you don't believe me. You can also take this opportunity to do some pill business."

"Junior Sister, you're obsessed with money. You represent the Righteousness Pavilion now. If Master finds out, how will you explain yourself?"

"I'm helping them. Don't you know about my pills? This is also for the good of the Haoqi Pavilion."
