22 Chapter 22: Returning to Lingxu
Translator: 549690339
Ignite Dan Fire, Adjust Spirit Sand, Transfer Mana, Fuse Spiritual Medicine, …
Alchemy has every step containing an incomparable amount of detailed knowledge.
When Han Yi used Spirit Coal to ignite the Dan Fire, among the three people supervising from above, the elderly one’s eyes brightened.
That smooth handling was a remarkable sign of a well-experienced alchemist.
The elderly man subconsciously took a closer look at Han Yi.
The red-faced young man in his thirties and the plump woman in her forties also shifted their attention from indifference to Han Yi, nodding their heads slightly in approval.
But they didn’t say anything.
There were still some disciples who passed the assessment to join the sect.
Within a short period, Han Yi withdrew his mana, tapped his palm, and lifted the lid of the Pill Furnace, releasing a dan qi aroma.
Inside the furnace, ten white Nurturing Qi Pills the size of fingernails lay quietly.
Han Yi took out a jade bottle he had prepared earlier, and with a single hand movement, he directly drew the Nurturing Qi Pills into the bottle and then handed it to the elderly man.
The old man took out one pill, observed it, smelled it, and then directly ingested it.
After sensing it for a while, the elderly man revealed a satisfied expression on his face.
“Nurturing Qi Pills, ten dan complete. The quality is within the normal range, but it’s already excellent among them. With further refinement, it could achieve standard quality.”
“Good, very good.”
“What is your name?”
Han Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he quickly replied: “To answering uncle-master, this disciple’s name is Han Yi.”
“Good, very good.”
The elderly man handed the jade bottle to the other two supervisors, and they both appraised it with the same method as the elder.
A moment later, they all nodded in satisfaction.
Apparently, they approved the elderly man’s final evaluation of Han Yi’s work.
“Good, you have passed the assessment to join the sect.”
“I am the vice-master of Little Green Cloud Peak, Shen Yu. If you want to find a better place as your residence, you can come to Qingyun Peak tomorrow, and I will arrange it for you,” said the elderly man.
As soon as the elderly man finished speaking, the other two spoke to Han Yi for the first time since he entered the room.
The man in his thirties with a friendly red face laughed and said, “My name is Luo Qi from Little Raging Fire Peak. Our peak’s strength ranks in the top ten among the outer peaks. If you are interested, you can also look for me, and I will transfer you to Little Raging Fire Peak.”
The plump woman covered her mouth and chuckled, also extending an invitation: “Little Guanhai Peak has many female disciples. I can introduce you to them if you come.”
Although Han Yi’s face showed happiness, there was a chill in his heart.
He had originally thought that he had already held back enough. If he had gone all out in alchemy, he could have made standard quality Nurturing Qi Pills.
However, that would be too shocking.
Because standard quality pills can only be refined by a few high-stage alchemists in the Qi Cultivation stage, even if placed in the inner sect, they would still be considered the best.
Imagine that within a year, just by his Alchemy Skills alone,
He would have transformed from a low-level alchemist in the outer sect to the most outstanding alchemist in the inner sect.
The gap is not ordinary and would be hard to achieve even with a lifetime of struggle for most outer sect disciples.
It would be difficult not to arouse some people’s curiosity and interest.
For example, guessing that he had obtained some mysterious inheritance, there would certainly be many people who would want to seize it and replace him.
Under the circumstances of insufficient strength, exposing his terrifying alchemy skills would make Han Yi feel insecure.
Seeing Han Yi’s delight on his face, the elderly man laughed lightly, “Alright, the assessment is over for today.”
“You passed, take the assessment token and return to Vermilion Bird Peak to complete the procedures.”
“As for the subsequent decision, which outer peak you want to join is up to your personal preference.”
The elderly man didn’t try to sway Han Yi’s decision. Neither did the other two say anything.
They just thought Han Yi’s alchemy skills were outstanding and on par with some of the inner sect disciples, which is why they had a sudden impulse to recruit him.
There were hundreds of outer peaks in the Xuandan Sect, each competing for disciples and resources.
Strictly speaking, disciples are also a resource and the most important one at that.
Han Yi gratefully looked at the elderly man, remembering his name, Shen Yu, and took the assessment token. After expressing his gratitude, Han Yi cautiously retreated from the room.
As Han Yi walked out of the Alchemy Hall, he took a deep breath, feeling invigorated.
Looking at the misty cloud sea surrounding the Black Tortoise Peak, his state of mind was different from the shock he felt when he first saw the cloud sea after his initial transmigration.
At this moment, his emotions were already turbulent.
“Haha, I, Hu Hansan, am back.”
“In the future, I will endure until the end of time, until I have no rivals left in this world, until I become an immortal. I will never leave the mountain again.”
Han Yi secretly made up his mind.
Many returning disciples who had passed the sect assessment looked at Han Yi in envy, guessing that he had passed the exam as well.
Even the sociable young man who exited the Alchemy Hall earlier than him, but still felt a little bit unwilling, watched Han Yi with jealousy. But he didn’t provoke him, as that would only bring trouble upon himself.
“Little Raging Fire Peak, Luo Qi, I’ve heard this name before. When I first came to this world, Brother Guan Di gave me a task to complete, to go to Little Raging Fire Peak and become a pill tester for Luo Qi.”
As Han Yi walked back to Little Lingxu Peak, the name of that red-faced young man appeared in his mind, along with a piece of information.
As for the woman in her forties who came from Small Guanhai Peak, Han Yi also knew about it—one of the peaks with the most female disciples in the outer sect.
Han Yi shook his head, worrying about his future for now and not considering the issue of finding a Daoist partner.
In fact, at this moment, when he calmed down,
He seriously thought about going to Little Green Cloud Peak. Shen Yu, as the deputy peak master of Little Green Cloud Peak, is definitely a cultivator at the ninth stage of Qi Cultivation. With his recommendation, Han Yi would have someone to rely on in Little Green Cloud Peak, making his life more comfortable than in Little Lingxu Peak.
But he quickly changed his mind, thinking that if he owed someone a favor, there might be other troubles after going to Little Green Cloud Peak.
Moreover, Little Green Cloud Peak and Little Lingxu Peak are both outer peaks, and their spirit vein grade is only second-stage, not much higher than Little Lingxu Peak.
If it were an Inner Peak, he would definitely have said nothing and leaned on them directly.
Besides, the most important point is that Han Yi just needs a stable environment. Whether it’s Little Lingxu Peak or Little Green Cloud Peak, they are both Outer Peaks, and they are the same to him.
So why bother?
He decides to endure for a while and see.
When he returned to Vermilion Bird Peak, he had already made up his mind, found the on-duty brother, handed over his examination token, and explained the situation.
The on-duty brother looked surprised and smiled, helping Han Yi with the procedures.
“Congratulations, Brother Han, on rejoining the sect. I’m sure you will achieve great things and make a name for yourself in the future.”
According to experience, those who have caught the eyes of the Alchemy Hall management, returning from being an external disciple to becoming an outer sect disciple, will have their alchemy skills significantly improved.
Such people are worth making friends with just for their Alchemy Skills.
“I was lucky, just lucky.”
“What’s your name, Brother?”
The on-duty brother smiled and replied, “I am Ma Yu.”
“Brother Ma, could you help me check whether my previous courtyard has been assigned to someone else or not? If it hasn’t, can I apply to return to my original courtyard?”
Han Yi is a nostalgic person. If he could return to his original courtyard, he would naturally feel more comfortable.
Ma Yu nodded, checked the information, and smiled: “Coincidentally, it is still available.”
Han Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this. He instantly understood why.
His courtyard was relatively on the periphery and even near the back mountain. Only new disciples with low status and abilities would be passively assigned to such a place.
But Han Yi didn’t mind, as long as it was a second-stage spiritual vein, that would be enough.
He has a lot of spirit stones.
“Brother Ma, could you help me apply to get my courtyard back?”
“No problem, I’ll get it done right away.”
Ma Yu complied and began to take down related information. He then went into the room to get the certificate for Han Yi’s original courtyard.
A moment later,
All the procedures were completed, and he handed the documents to Han Yi.
Han Yi repeatedly thanked him, and Ma Yu was also very satisfied.
This was tantamount to this junior brother owing him a favor. If one day this junior brother rose to prominence, this favor would be of some benefit to him.
That was also the reason why he spared no effort to help Han Yi.
Being in this hall manager position has this advantage.
On the other side, Han Yi left Vermilion Bird Peak and headed straight to Little Lingxu Peak.
Only when he returned to his familiar courtyard and activated the courtyard’s separate array formation did he finally fully relax.
