Qin Xin had no idea why the name Hong Ye could evoke such respect in the eyes of the people of Tianxuan Sect.
However, Qin Xin also noticed that when Yang Ruoyi mentioned that he was invited by Hong Ye to join the Tianxuan Sect, a strange light appeared in her eyes.
Although Qin Xin didn't have a very deep understanding of love, he could tell that Yang Ruoyi was obviously interested in Hong Ye, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such an expression.
Moreover, it was only when Yang Ruoyi approached Qin Xin with a joyful expression that Qin Xin confirmed his suspicions.
"So it was Senior Brother Hong who invited you. Come on, let me show you where you'll stay first, and then I'll introduce you to the Tianxuan Sect."
Yang Ruoyi went straight up and took Qin Xin's arm, leading him into the Tianxuan Sect.
Seeing Yang Ruoyi's appearance, the others shook their heads helplessly.
The old man Sanbao did not follow them inside. He said with some helplessness, "Those old guys all went into seclusion, leaving me with this mess. And none of you young ones are obedient. Sigh! Well, I'm going back to Tuocang Mountain to guard the teleportation array. If you need anything, come find me!"
After saying that, the old man Sanbao leaped up and flew towards Tuocang Mountain.
The dozen or so disciples of the Tianxuan Sect did not linger. After welcoming Qin Xin to the Tianxuan Sect, they all returned to their respective residences to cultivate.
Qin Xin was pulled by Yang Ruoyi towards the top of Tianxuan Mountain, with Xiahou Chu following closely behind. However, ever since he heard that Qin Xin had been invited by Hong Ye to join the Tianxuan Sect, Xiahou Chu's expression had become somewhat sullen, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Yang Ruoyi, who was standing to the side, seemed to notice that Qin Xin was puzzled by Xiahou Chu's sullen expression, and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Qin Xin seems to be a little puzzled by Xiahou Chu's expression."
Seeing that Yang Ruoyi had guessed his thoughts, Qin Xin nodded directly.
As Yang Ruoyi walked, she said, "This is because Xiahou Chu was severely beaten by Senior Brother Hong Ye, and he probably hasn't realized what's happening yet."
As she spoke, Yang Ruoyi glanced at Xiahou Chu with a playful look, and Xiahou Chu remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.
"Is Senior Brother Hong Ye really that strong?" Qin Xin asked, also somewhat curious.
Upon hearing Qin Xin's words, Xiahou Chu said indignantly, "What's so great about being strong? If he weren't at the Solid Core Realm and I wasn't at the Void Core Realm, the outcome would be uncertain."
Hearing Xiahou Chu's somewhat unconvinced words, Qin Xin smiled and did not refute him.
However, Qin Xin was still somewhat surprised by Hong Ye's cultivation level. He had met him before and observed that Hong Ye was about the same age as him, but he had already entered the Solid Core Realm, while he himself was only at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
For a moment, Qin Xin thought of Qin Haotian, who was in the Xuan Tian Sword Sect. Qin Xin had heard that he was a Yuanfu Realm expert. Now that several years had passed, he should have already entered the third stage of the Core Formation Realm. As for his cultivation level, Qin Xin did not know.
"Hmph! Even if you are at the same level as Senior Brother Hong Ye, you still can't beat him," Yang Ruoyi said sarcastically from the side.
Moreover, when Yang Ruoyi spoke of Hong Ye, her eyes shone brightly, like a little girl talking about her idol.
Xiahou Chu pursed his lips and didn't continue arguing with her, only replying helplessly, "You're such a lovesick fool!"
Yang Ruoyi showed no anger at Xiahou Chu's evaluation, as if she was already used to such a title.
The three of them walked along chatting and laughing, and did not see any other disciples along the way, so the entire Tianxuan Mountain seemed exceptionally quiet.
However, Qin Xin discovered that the closer he got to the summit of the mountain, the richer the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became, and the vegetation around him also became more lush due to the nourishment of the spiritual energy.
Every now and then, Qin Xin could also see some spiritual herbs, which seemed to be artificially cultivated, but they were not yet mature.
As Qin Xin passed by a medicinal herb field, he stopped out of curiosity. He saw a figure in the field, holding a jade bottle and carefully watering each of the medicinal herbs.
Even as the three passed by, the figure did not turn around at all.
"She is Senior Sister Ling Hanyan. She is obsessed with alchemy and is now a sixth-grade advanced alchemist."
Yang Ruoyi introduced the situation from the side, but she also specifically instructed Qin Xin, "This senior sister has a bad temper, and she treats her spiritual herbs as her lifeblood. It's best not to come here normally, lest you get beaten up."
"If you don't agree, ask your senior brother Xiahou. He's the most experienced."
Seeing Yang Ruoyi pointing at himself, Xiahou Chu did not refute at all, but nodded and said, "When I first joined Tianxuan Sect, I accidentally damaged a spiritual herb in the herb field, and then I was beaten up for half a year. Even now, Ling Hanyan still wants to beat me up whenever she sees me."
Hearing that this senior sister was so vengeful, Qin Xin also made a mental note of it, as he didn't want to be beaten up unexpectedly as soon as he arrived at Tianxuan Sect.
Just as the three were about to leave, Ling Hanyan suddenly turned around and walked towards them.
"Uh... I'll be going now. Ruoyi, you'll take care of Junior Brother Qin Xin." Xiahou Chu saw Ling Hanyan approaching and quickly slipped away, as if afraid of being caught by her.
Qin Xin and Yang Ruoyi stood there, watching Xiahou Chu escape so quickly, and almost burst out laughing.
Ling Hanyan wore a long blue robe, and her body emanated a faint aura of fire, seemingly due to her long-term alchemy practice. Moreover, the loose robe concealed her figure well.
Judging from his appearance, he was slightly plump and mature, and seemed to be in his early thirties. Moreover, his face was very delicate and not as violent as Xiahou Chu had described.
Yang Ruoyi seemed to know Ling Hanyan very well. After she approached, she said with a smile, "Senior Sister Hanyan, Xiahou has been scared away by you again."
Hearing this, Ling Hanyan smiled slightly and said very gently, "Back then, I spent three years cultivating a sixth-grade spiritual herb, which was almost ready to mature, but that guy ruined it with a single pee. Beating him up was too lenient."
Then Ling Hanyan stared at Qin Xin curiously and asked, "Are you also an alchemist?"
Qin Xin was not surprised that Ling Hanyan could discover that he was an alchemist, because alchemists, who spend a long time refining pills in front of the furnace, would inevitably become tainted with some of the "fire" energy, and Ling Hanyan, being an alchemist herself, could naturally tell at a glance.
"Junior Brother Qin Xin, you're actually an alchemist? No wonder Senior Brother Hong Ye invited you to join the Tianxuan Sect." Yang Ruoyi was also somewhat surprised by Qin Xin's identity as an alchemist.
