Lu Ji pondered for a moment, “Recruiting more powerful individuals to the Illusionary Hidden Sect is indeed a good idea, but given the current critical situation the Illusionary Hidden Sect is facing, it’s not certain that any powerful individuals will come to serve.”
"Moreover, there are rumors circulating on the mainland that the Illusionary Hidden Sect possesses the inner core of a medicinal beast, and they might even join forces with others to seize that beast."
"Don't worry about recruiting strong individuals. I believe that with rare Rank 8 pills as an incentive, there will be no shortage of strong individuals coming to surrender," Ruan Xiyan said slowly.
"Although the allure of the inner core of the medicinal beast is great, no one has actually seen it. They are just following the crowd blindly."
"Whether they choose the ethereal inner core of a medicinal beast or a real, grade-eight elixir, they will make the right decision in their hearts."
"An eighth-grade pill?!" Huo Yao exclaimed in shock. "Sect Master, could you be an eighth-grade alchemist?!"
Ruan Xiyan nodded.
"Sister Yan is amazing!" Lin Muze exclaimed in astonishment, his mouth agape. He had just attended a grand alchemy event, and Sister Yan's alchemy skills had actually broken through again.
Zhu Lei and Zhu Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing deep surprise in each other's eyes.
An eighth-grade alchemist! How old is this little girl?!
They initially agreed to serve the Illusionary Concealment Sect for three years entirely out of necessity, but they were very happy during their time there.
When enemies invade, they can act as free henchmen to deter the offending villains. When they encounter powerful enemies that are difficult to deal with, Senior Huoyao will be there to support them.
The entire Illusionary Hidden Sect was shrouded in an array, and the concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than in other places, which helped them improve their strength.
Furthermore, as elders of the Illusionary Concealment Sect, they receive several bottles of precious pills every month, which is incredibly appealing!
Especially now that they've heard that the sect leader is an eighth-grade alchemist, there are probably only a few eighth-grade alchemists in the entire cultivation continent, except for some reclusive old monsters who have never shown themselves in public for many years, and the Alchemist Guild.
I've never heard of any faction having an eighth-grade alchemist, which shows how important and precious an eighth-grade alchemist is on the continent.
The few pills that the sect leader casually dropped from between his fingers were something that everyone on the continent coveted.
Now, let alone the three years not being up yet, even if they were, they wouldn't want to leave.
Yu Qiqi smiled and said, "Sister Yan, with your alchemy skills as an eighth-grade alchemist, if you went to participate in the Alchemy Grand Meeting, wouldn't you have wiped them out and won the championship?"
Ruan Xiyan smiled and said, "I have indeed won the title of champion of the Alchemy Grand Gathering."
Upon seeing Ruan Xiyan's admission, Yu Qiqi was so excited she almost jumped for joy.
The champion of the alchemy competition was her sister Yan, who was a noble eighth-grade alchemist. There was nothing more prestigious than that.
"Sister Yan, are you going to recruit powerful individuals from across the continent under the guise of being the champion of the Alchemy Grand Gathering?"
“Yes,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
Now that she had secured the title of champion of the Alchemy Grand Gathering, she figured she might as well make the most of it, as the champion of the Alchemy Grand Gathering had considerable influence.
With the combined titles of leader of the Alchemy Grand Gathering and eighth-grade alchemist, she's sure to be able to recruit powerful individuals to her satisfaction.
"Sect Master, such a large-scale recruitment of powerful figures from across the continent is no small matter. It's hard to guarantee that no one will take advantage of this opportunity to make ulterior motives."
"This level is something the sect leader couldn't have missed. I'm afraid you have other plans," Huo Yao asked with a smile.
Ruan Xiyan smiled and said, "Elder Huo is right, I do have other plans."
"The news that the Illusionary Hidden Sect possesses medicinal beasts spread rapidly across the continent, making the sect an instant target of public criticism. There must be a mastermind behind this, otherwise the news wouldn't have spread so quickly."
"The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. We don't even know who is plotting against us, which is very disadvantageous for us. We must lure them out."
"When I announce that I'm recruiting powerful figures from across the continent, the people behind it will definitely get restless. Once they make a move, they'll reveal their true colors, and then we can follow the clues to find the enemy hiding in the shadows."
"Sister Yan, do you mean that the person who is manipulating everything behind the scenes will take advantage of our recruitment of powerful individuals to send someone to infiltrate our Illusionary Concealment Sect?" Yu Qiqi looked at Ruan Xiyan.
“Yes, as long as they send people into the Illusionary Concealment Sect and into our territory, we will have a chance to capture him. Once we capture him, I am confident that I can get him to talk and find out who is behind him.”
"I suspect that the enemy lurking in the shadows is either from an upper-class or a top-tier power. Either way, the Illusionary Concealment Sect is not capable of dealing with them in their current state."
"That's why we need to release the news of recruiting strong people on the mainland. On the one hand, it can enhance the combat power of the Illusionary Concealment Sect, and on the other hand, it can find out the person behind the scenes. It's a win-win situation."
A glint flashed in Ruan Xiyan's eyes. Wanwan's Ten Thousand Poisons Body had been dealt with, and now it was time to deal with the mastermind behind the scheme against the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
She couldn't rest easy until she found out who was behind it all. It was like having a sword hanging over the head of the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
"The sect leader is indeed wise," Lu Ji said. "I'll go and spread the news right away."
"Sister Yan, then Mu Ze and I will go and help too."
After the discussion, they left to attend to their various tasks.
Since the goal is to lure the enemy out of their hole and trap them like turtles in a jar, the entire Illusionary Concealment Sect must make thorough preparations to prevent the enemy from having any opportunity to exploit the situation and thus benefit others.
Once the news of the Illusionary Concealment Sect recruiting powerful individuals is released, there will be a response within a few days.
During this period, Ruan Xiyan dared not relax for a moment and seized every opportunity to cultivate.
She also set up an array in an important location of the Illusionary Hidden Sect, and at the same time refined a batch of Grade 8 pills, Heavenly Vein Pills, for recruiting powerful individuals.
The Heavenly Vein Pill can enhance a person's strength; below the Creation Realm, it can help a person break through two realms.
Above the Creation Realm, it can guarantee that the person who consumes it will break through to the next level.
For those at the pseudo-immortal realm, the Heavenly Vein Pill may not guarantee a breakthrough, but it greatly increases the chances. Of course, the Heavenly Vein Pill only has this miraculous effect on the first use.
The medicinal materials for refining the Heavenly Vein Pill were obtained from the Pill Realm. The quantity is not large at present, but it is enough for her to refine a batch of pills.
Once the medicinal herbs planted in the space's medicinal field have grown, we can refine even more.
After taking a Heavenly Vein Pill, Ruan Xiyan's strength broke through to the third level of the Supreme Realm.
The cultivation continent was bustling with activity at this time, with many powerful experts heading to the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
The Illusionary Hidden Sect was originally just a newly established and inconspicuous small force. In theory, no one would have paid attention to them. However, due to the recent incident involving the medicinal beast, the Illusionary Hidden Sect has been in the limelight.
