After hearing what the Qingxuan Sect Master said, Zhenru was both amused and exasperated.

She always felt that the Sunrise District was a constraint.

From the moment Zhenru began his cultivation, his only thought besides revenge was to save the Sun Realm from destruction and bring it back to life.

However, the Qingxuan Sect Master told her that she was able to escape the pursuit from the Upper Realm precisely because the Yaori Realm was isolated and inaccessible, preventing the people of the Upper Realm from searching for the aura of the Golden Crow Clan's bloodline.

"Wouldn't my aura be exposed once I arrive in the Solid Spirit Realm?"

Zhenru quickly realized this, and her expression became somewhat serious.

Although she wasn't afraid, she came to the Solid Spirit Realm to avoid trouble from those selfish old men in the Sun Realm, not to cause even more trouble.

The Qingxuan Sect Master smiled with a hint of smugness.

"So, this is where Fellow Daoist Zhenru needs to use my Qingxuan Dao Sect."

Zhenru's expression returned to calm, not because she heard the other party say that he could protect her, but because she realized that the Qingxuan Sect Master wanted to make her anxious on purpose.

Seeing that Zhenru's serious expression only lasted a moment before reverting to her peaceful and nonchalant demeanor, the Qingxuan Sect Master cursed inwardly, "Difficult to deal with," and said somewhat helplessly:

“Fellow Daoist Zhenru, there’s no need to be so wary. I didn’t mean to make you anxious.”

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Zhenru need not worry too much. Besides the assistance that my Qingxuan Dao Sect will provide, the most important thing is that Fellow Daoist Zhenru himself has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and possesses the ability to conceal his bloodline aura."

"Unless it's a specific situation or a specific person targeting you, it's not that easy to be exposed."

At this point, the Qingxuan Sect Master started joking again, teasingly saying:

"Of course, if being too outstanding and standing out gets exposed, then there's nothing that can be done."

Although it was said in jest, Zhenru began to think about it seriously.

If someone in the upper realm is truly hunting you down, and there is no clear target, they will naturally target the most outstanding individuals.

After all, no matter how meticulously Wu Ling planned, he could not possibly place the opportunity for the restoration of his clan on someone with dull-witted abilities.

Although this method is time-consuming, it is indeed a correct screening method.

Zhenru sighed, silently took out the Formless Mask that she hadn't used in a long time from her storage ring, and gently put it on her face.

This time, Zhenru didn't change her appearance, but rather adjusted her bone age.

After several changes, he looked at the Qingxuan Sect Master and said:

"What does the sect leader think of this?"

The Qingxuan Sect Master, who had been making a sarcastic and casual joke, was puzzled when he saw Zhenru fiddling with things without any change.

Only after Zhenru specifically mentioned it did I carefully concentrate and look at it:

His appearance hasn't changed, his cultivation level hasn't changed, his aptitude hasn't changed, nothing has changed?

wrong!

The Qingxuan Sect Master was not giving up. He glanced at Zhenru one last time and suddenly realized that Zhenru's bone age, which was originally no more than fifty, had now become more than three hundred years old.

A Nascent Soul cultivator who is over three hundred years old is also a genius, but obviously cannot compare to a Nascent Soul cultivator who is less than fifty years old.

I admire Zhenru's ingenious modification, and at the same time, I can't help but sigh in my heart, "Who says the Sunrise Realm is poor and backward?" But on the surface, I still said seriously:

“Hey, Fellow Daoist Zhenru, we’re both at the Nascent Soul stage, so I naturally think it’s incredibly ingenious and flawless, but…”

Indeed, even if the Qingxuan Sect Master and the Guling Realm Ancestor couldn't see it, it doesn't mean that people from the Upper Realm couldn't see it.

Unfortunately, even Zhenru couldn't do anything about this.

If only Senior Si Qing were here at this moment.

Even more unfortunately, Si Qing couldn't leave the Sun Realm.

After talking with the Qingxuan Sect Master, Zhenru was troubled for a while but then gave up.

At worst, we can find a way to hide back in the Sunrise Realm.

Thinking this, Zhenru turned her attention away from herself and looked directly at the Qingxuan Sect Master.

"Having said so much, it all boils down to my needs and the help that the Qingxuan Dao Sect has given me. So, I wonder what your sect needs me to do?"

The Qingxuan Sect Master's eyes showed appreciation. Without beating around the bush with Zhenru, he directly took out a jade slip and, with reverence, handed it to Zhenru with both hands, saying:

"This is what the ancestor asked me to pass on."

"Our ancestor said that our conditions will not make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Zhenru."

Zhenru took the jade slip and gently placed it against her forehead.

The content was brief, but Zhenru's eyes showed great surprise as she looked up at the Qingxuan Sect Master.

The Qingxuan Sect Master merely smiled enigmatically and said:

"Seeing is not necessarily believing."

...

Qin Yue arrived an hour after Zhenru returned to his cave.

"This is the token of a guest elder of the sect, and this is the offering of the guest elder."

Zhenru didn't refuse, and after accepting it, she said:

"Now that you've accepted the gift, Elder Guest, there's nothing you need to do. Please don't stand on ceremony with me."

Qin Yue nodded hurriedly and said:

"That's true. However, the position of guest elder is just a nominal one. They don't have many tasks on weekdays. Occasionally, they go to the sect's headquarters to oversee things or provide some military support."

That's easy to say. Being able to stay and cultivate while providing support in actual combat is a great job for ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. Zhenru nodded in satisfaction after objectively analyzing the situation.

Before he could finish nodding, Qin Yue continued:

"However, that applies to the other guest elders. As for Fellow Daoist Zhenru, the sect... hehe, has already assigned a mission."

Qin Yue's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and towards the end her eyes began to dart around. Her fair face turned bright red, and she was too embarrassed to look at Zhenru when she handed her the mission token.

Zhenru took the mission token and glanced at it; a slight change in her expression occurred to her eyes.

The task on the task card was within the scope of the task Qin Yue had mentioned, which was to have her escort the sect's elite disciples to a secret training ground.

The locations where they underwent training were all places related to the fire element.

Seeing Qin Yue's embarrassed expression, Zhenru knew that Qin Yue didn't know much, and comforted him with a smile:

"Isn't this just a normal task assignment? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Seeing that Zhenru accepted without any displeasure, Qin Yue hesitated for a moment before saying somewhat awkwardly:

"I'm sorry, but I admire Fellow Daoist Zhenru very much and sincerely want to befriend you."

"But I also admit that I suspect that after you took the Golden Crow's essence blood, it was because of a sect mission that you befriended me, but I personally really admire you."

"And I also want to apologize to you for the fact that my senior brother, the sect leader, bypassed me to see you."

Seeing that Qin Yue was about to launch into a long explanation, Zhenru quickly raised her hand to stop him:

“Fellow Daoist Qin, you don’t need to apologize. The sect leader did have important business with me. Even if you were there at the time, you couldn’t have been there.”

"Moreover, following you to the Solid Spirit Realm has indeed resolved many of my doubts, and I should thank you."

Since he had already said that, and seeing that she was indeed not unhappy at all, nor did she intend to avoid making friends with him, Qin Yue stopped talking.

Regaining his usual carefree demeanor, Qin Yue abruptly changed the subject, frowning and complaining:

"But speaking of which, what's wrong with Senior Brother Sect Master? Even if he wants to assign you a task, there's no need to be in such a hurry!"

Zhenru glanced at Qin Yue with a half-smile, then got up to prepare to leave.

"Instead of trying to get information out of me, you might as well ask your sect leader."
