Qi Zhiheng followed Mu Ran to meet his master.
Mu Ran's master was also a celestial being, but he had been a celestial being for quite some time and was basically at the point of breaking through to become a celestial lord.
Qi Zhiheng didn't care about their cultivation levels; all he wanted to know was where Yang Yitian was and whether his soul was still there.
Mu Ran first tattled on her master He Guang, telling him how the Tian Gang Mansion had exploited her over the years, and then said that she had exceptional talent, which was how she managed to escape the persecution of that group of people!
He Guang was somewhat annoyed after hearing this and promised that he would no longer provide any resources to the Heavenly Gang Palace of the First Heaven.
Qi Zhiheng stood awkwardly to the side, waiting for the master and apprentice to finish their rant about the Tiangang Mansion.
Mu Ran then introduced Qi Zhiheng, explaining her injuries and how Qi Zhiheng had helped her.
He Guang expressed his gratitude and then gave Qi Zhiheng some small gifts.
Qi Zhiheng accepted it and then thanked him.
Then Qi Zhiheng and Mu Ran were assigned rooms, which were next door to each other.
Qi Zhiheng asked, "When are we going to change our identities?" He didn't want to continue being a servant.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Ran said, "This needs to be handled at the General Manager's Office in the Second Heaven. Let's leave it for today. Tomorrow I'll ask my master if there's anything we need to prepare. Once we have everything ready, we can go and change our identities."
Qi Zhiheng nodded: "Okay." The two closed their room doors and began to rest.
The next day, Mu Ran knocked on Qi Zhiheng's door early in the morning.
The two of them went to find Kazumitsu together.
Hearing their thoughts, He Guang said, "It's not impossible to get rid of the servant status, but immortals who come from the First Heaven need to pass the General Manager's assessment if they want to get rid of the servant status directly."
"What kind of assessment is it?" Qi Zhiheng asked.
He Guang said, "It shouldn't be difficult. I see that your cultivation is steady, so you should be able to pass the test. I heard that you even defeated a Celestial Immortal? With strength comparable to a Celestial Immortal, they probably won't let you continue as an attendant."
Qi Zhiheng nodded.
He Guang continued, "Also, we need to prepare some Immortal Spirit Stones, about 300,000. Do you have enough Immortal Spirit Stones? If not, you can ask Mu Ran for some."
Qi Zhiheng said, "No need to trouble yourself. I still have some immortal spirit stones on me, enough to cover the expenses this time."
Kazuhiro nodded: "That's fine then, you can go ahead."
"Then I'll be going now, Master." Mu Ran bid farewell to He Guang and went to the general manager's office of the First Heaven with Qi Zhiheng.
After asking for directions, I arrived at the identity management office.
Qi Zhiheng's identity is also registered. To change his identity, he needs to erase his original identity here and then re-record it.
The administrator first told Qi Zhiheng to take a test to see if he was qualified to leave his position as a servant, and then pointed him in the right direction.
Following the man's instructions, Qi Zhiheng first went to test whether he was qualified to become an ordinary immortal of the Second Heaven.
His test results came back quickly.
The so-called test involves having a celestial being spar with him. If he can withstand the attack on his Longevity Mountain for a quarter of an hour, he will be qualified.
Qi Zhiheng wondered if every Celestial Being in charge of the tests was as irritable as the one in front of him. Qi Zhiheng originally just wanted to endure it quietly for a quarter of an hour, but who knew that this person's moves were ruthless. It seemed more like he wanted to kill him to vent his anger than to conduct a test.
Seeing this, Qi Zhiheng didn't bother to give his opponent any face. He directly used most of his strength to defeat him.
Qi Zhiheng's actions truly shocked the immortals who were watching the match.
Qi Zhiheng calmly stepped down from the stage and received his qualification plaque.
Mu Ran was not surprised by the result. The two returned to the identity management office and changed their identities.
Mu Ran asked, "What are your plans next?"
Qi Zhiheng fell into deep thought.
His original next goal was, of course, to find a place to buy Yang Yitian's information and whereabouts, but most of the immortal spirit stones he had had already been used to change his identity, and the remaining immortal spirit stones were probably not enough.
"I want to refine pills." After saying this, Qi Zhiheng quickly walked towards the exchange area.
Mu Ran had no choice but to follow.
Qi Zhiheng exchanged all the immortal spirit stones in his hand for second-level immortal spirit herbs.
Mu Ran asked with some doubt, "Why are you buying level-two immortal herbs? You don't mean to refine level-two immortal pills, do you?"
Qi Zhiheng did not deny it: "The second-level pill you ate was made by me."
Mu Ran gasped: "What method did you actually use to conceal your cultivation level?"
Qi Zhiheng looked puzzled: "Where did you get that conclusion from?"
"You can defeat a Celestial Immortal and refine a Level Two Immortal Elixir, and you still want me to believe you're an Earth Immortal?" Mu Ran's tone was somewhat agitated.
Qi Zhiheng said, "I am an Earth Immortal."
Mu Ran didn't believe it.
However, Qi Zhiheng was too lazy to pay him any more attention.
Back at He Guang's residence, Qi Zhiheng said he needed to go into seclusion for a while: "After all, I'm staying on your master's land. Please tell him that I will definitely send him the rent after I finish my seclusion."
Mu Ran waved her hand and said, "My master doesn't lack this little bit of rent."
Qi Zhiheng said, "Don't speak too soon. Let's talk about everything when I come out." After saying that, he went into seclusion.
Mu Ran felt that Qi Zhiheng was overthinking things. How could his master possibly covet such a small amount of rent? So he went to talk to his master about it.
He Guang chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll just not charge him rent then."
Both master and apprentice felt that Qi Zhiheng's words were a bit too serious.
Qi Zhiheng spent a month in seclusion refining elixirs.
A month later, Qi Zhiheng walked out of the room.
Mu Ran came over to check on him after receiving the news: "How is it? Has the pill been successfully refined?"
Qi Zhiheng said, "It's finished. Let's go see your master."
"You want to see my master?" Mu Ran felt somewhat puzzled.
"Pay the rent. Just take me there," Qi Zhiheng said.
As Mu Ran walked towards her master with Qi Zhiheng, she said, "Actually, you don't need to be so serious. My master doesn't care about the rent. If he refuses when you get there, then so be it."
Qi Zhiheng replied with a faint "Mm".
Mu Ran assumed that Qi Zhiheng had agreed not to pay rent and didn't dwell on the topic with him.
He Guang was somewhat surprised that Qi Zhiheng had come to see him. When he heard Qi Zhiheng say that he needed to pay rent, he waved his hand, ready to refuse.
Then Qi Zhiheng opened the pill bottle and poured out the pills inside: "Senior must have been lingering at the peak of the Heavenly Realm for a long time. This pill in my hand is a top-grade Taiqing Pill. After taking it, it can help you break through the bottleneck quickly and become a Celestial Lord as soon as possible."
He Guang's hand froze. He wanted to refuse, but this was something that no immortal who was about to break through to become a Celestial Lord could refuse.
Mu Ran, who is usually very talkative, seemed to have her throat choked at this moment, unable to utter a single word of refusal.
The Taiqing Pill is considered the most difficult to refine among all second-level immortal pills. Even if He Guang were to refine it personally, the success rate would likely be extremely low. At best, the pill would only be of low or medium quality.
Which celestial being wouldn't want a top-grade Taiqing Pill? The same goes for He Guang.
Qi Zhiheng put the pills back into the pill bottle and handed the bottle to He Guang: "I'm afraid I won't have anywhere to stay in the coming days. If you're willing, senior, could you let me stay here temporarily? This is the rent for the next few days. If you refuse, then you don't welcome me."
He Guang finally accepted the pill: "I really have to thank you this time, but I absolutely cannot refuse this final chapter."
Qi Zhiheng smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I still have some of the pills you mentioned, senior. I know you are an alchemist. Do you have any channels to sell pills?"
"You still have pills?"
Qi Zhiheng took out dozens of bottles of pills and placed them on the table: "These are the pills. Senior, please help me see if I can sell some of them."
He Guang quickly examined the pills, and found that the vast majority of them were actually top-grade pills. He asked incredulously, "You refined all of these?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "Indeed, these are all pills refined by this junior. This junior needs some immortal spirit stones right now, but it is really inconvenient for me to do it myself. If senior has a channel to help sell them, I will give senior 20% of the profits."
"No need for that. With such fine pills, I'm sure I can help you sell them." It was the first time He Guang had ever seen so many top-grade pills, so he quickly told Qi Zhiheng to put them away and hand them over to him later.
Meanwhile, Qi Zhiheng took the remaining two bottles of pills out to sell, and used the obtained immortal spirit stones to buy a batch of second-level immortal spirit herbs.
After the second batch of pills was refined, He Guang had already sold all the pills he had to some familiar friends.
When Qi Zhiheng came out, he had 100,000 low-grade immortal spirit stones in his hand.
Although 100,000 spirit stones would be enough to buy a person's information in the first heaven, the price might be higher in the second heaven. Qi Zhiheng felt that he should prepare more spirit stones before making a decision.
Upon learning that Qi Zhiheng lacked immortal spirit stones, Mu Ran lent him all the 300,000 she had on her.
Qi Zhiheng accepted the immortal spirit stones. He had already spent so much time in the Second Heaven, so it was better to find Yang Yitian's whereabouts as soon as possible. As for the borrowed immortal spirit stones, Qi Zhiheng could use them to refine pills to repay the debt.
Mu Ran led her men to the place where information was traded, searching for news about Yang Yitian.
Yang Yitian's information was all recorded. When the man saw that he was looking for Yang Yitian, he asked for 200,000 low-grade immortal spirit stones.
Qi Zhiheng didn't waste time haggling; after giving away the immortal spirit stones, he received the information.
The information inside includes when Yang Yitian arrived at the Second Heaven, what secret realms he participated in and who he was familiar with, and finally mentions that he had already reached the Third Heaven two years ago.
Qi Zhiheng: "..."
Having only reached the second level, he now had to find a way to get to the third level.
