"I'll live with you." Lian Yiyue lightly stepped over the threshold and entered the room where Fang Chen was.
The room was small, containing only a bed and a table, extremely simple. As Lian Yiyue's words fell, a flirtatious atmosphere immediately spread.
Looking at Fang Chen's half-smiling face and his gaze that subtly drifted towards the only small bed in the room, a blush suddenly appeared on Lian Yiyue's delicate face.
"You little pervert, don't think too much." She lightly spat, saying.
Clearing her throat twice, she became serious and said, "The Ziyang Sect's recruitment of disciples is not limited to just the Great Zhao Kingdom and Snowmang Kingdom. Before us, there has already been a group of people who came. And didn't you notice that these people looked a bit off when we arrived?"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this from Lian Yiyue, Fang Chen immediately recalled. They were referred to as the second batch of new blood by Mu He, while the first batch was clearly the weary-looking youths he had seen beside the house earlier. At that moment, when they arrived, those individuals had flickering eyes and strange expressions.
"Are you saying they might pose a threat to us?" Fang Chen asked.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out. Although the Ziyang Sect does not allow its disciples to kill each other privately, as long as no one dies, generally nothing will happen. Moreover, we are not formal disciples yet; even if someone were to die, it’s possible no one would care. We have to be cautious." Lian Yiyue spoke slowly, clearly having a good understanding of many rules within the Ziyang Sect.
"So you want to stay in the same room with me just in case?" Fang Chen still wore that half-smiling expression on his face; evidently, this reason did not satisfy him.
"What else could it be?" Lian Yiyue stomped her foot in annoyance and said, "Do you really think I have my eyes on you?" Then she scanned Fang Chen from head to toe and curled her lip: "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, Little One."
"Cough cough." Hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but cough lightly twice, feeling somewhat embarrassed. That last remark was indeed quite impactful. Although he was considered an ancient being in his previous life, at his current age of fifteen, if counted accurately, he was still at an age where he hadn't fully matured.
After clearing his throat, Fang Chen straightened his expression and looked seriously at Lian Yiyue with his dark eyes. He said earnestly, "You don't need to worry about that guy from the Enforcement Hall. A waste who has remained at the Alchemy Realm level for so many years—if he dares to provoke me, it’s uncertain who will come out worse. And once the Entry Assessment is over..."
A cold glint flashed in Fang Chen's eyes. With his current Martial Arts Realm and personal accumulation, breaking through to the Qi Boundary was merely a matter of thought for him. In fact, this breakthrough would not be as simple as just reaching the early stage of Qi Boundary. After the Entry Assessment of Ziyang Sect concluded, Fang Chen planned to focus on his own breakthrough. Once he achieved that breakthrough, ordinary Alchemy Realm martial artists would not pose much of a threat to him.
Realizing Fang Chen had revealed his intentions, Lian Yiyue shook her head helplessly, a hint of worry flashing across her pretty face. She said, "Don't underestimate the Enforcement Hall; if it's just that Scarred-Faced Youth alone, you might not fear him. But what if two or three more like him show up? Given how he looked at you before leaving, it's very likely he will come looking for trouble."
"Two or three." Fang Chen frowned. Indeed, with his current strength, he felt confident he could protect himself against the Scarred-Faced Youth one-on-one; however, if two or three such individuals came at once, it would pose a crisis for him—escaping would be extremely difficult. If even more showed up, running away would be a luxury. Given the Enforcement Hall's style, it wasn't unusual for two or three individuals of that level to appear at once.
"There are also senior sisters from my Charming Immortal Sect within Ziyang Sect; one of them is already an Inner Sect Disciple. With her around, even disciples from the Enforcement Hall wouldn't dare to act recklessly against me," Lian Yiyue stated.
"Inner Sect Disciple." Fang Chen's heart stirred.
The Ziyang Sect is divided into four types of disciples: Servant Disciple, Outer Sect Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, and finally, the True Disciple.
Servant Disciples are like servants of the Ziyang Sect, not considered true disciples, and they receive very little in terms of benefits and resources within the Sect. However, once one is promoted to Outer Sect Disciple, the situation changes.
Outer Sect Disciples are official disciples of the Ziyang Sect, receiving a substantial amount of spirit stones and pills each month for cultivation, and they are not required to do menial tasks. Their status within the Ziyang Sect is already quite respectable. This group also comprises the largest number of people in the Ziyang Sect. The dozen or so disciples from the Enforcement Hall, including the Scarred-Faced Youth, that Fang Chen saw earlier were all Outer Sect Disciples.
Above the Outer Sect Disciples are the Inner Sect Disciples, who are relatively fewer in number. Compared to Outer Sect Disciples, the benefits and resources available to Inner Sect Disciples are significantly greater, and their power within the Sect far surpasses that of Outer Sect Disciples. However, the difficulty of being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple is daunting enough to make many Outer Sect Disciples feel intimidated. The minimum requirement for promotion is to possess cultivation at the Primordial Embryo Realm!
It is important to note that in the Great Zhao Kingdom, even among first-rate powers, those at the Primordial Embryo Realm can become elders. Yet within the Ziyang Sect, they are merely disciples.
Above the Inner Sect Disciples lies the True Disciples, a status that is beyond what ordinary people can aspire to. Fang Chen knows little about this level of legend. He only knows that there are very few True Disciples in the entire Ziyang Sect. Each one is a true treasure of the sect, and their influence is comparable to that of some elders.
In summary, being an Inner Sect Disciple is already quite impressive. Having protection from an Inner Sect Disciple means that not many would dare provoke Lian Yiyue. With her around, it would indeed make Scarred-Faced Youth think twice before seeking trouble. However, Fang Chen shook his head; he understood that Lian Yiyue meant well, but did he really need it?
The path of martial arts is fraught with countless difficulties. If he were forced by just one Scarred-Faced Youth, how could he continue his martial journey? Moreover, such behavior goes against his principles. Fang Chen knows he has many secrets that cannot be revealed; if he were to share a room with Lian Yiyue, while it might be pleasant, it would complicate many matters.
With a faint smile on his face, Fang Chen still refused Lian Yiyue's good intentions.
Being surrounded by several warriors from the Alchemy Realm is indeed perilous, but Fang Chen still has ways to deal with it; as long as he remains cautious, he can temporarily avoid them. Besides, if he were truly pushed to his limits, it would be uncertain who would perish first.
Seeing the determination in Fang Chen's dark eyes, Lian Yiyue realized that this smiling young man would not change his mind.
"You stubborn guy!" She stamped her foot in frustration.
"Forget you," she huffed angrily as she stormed off. However, sensing the sounds coming from the room next door, Fang Chen smiled and shook his head. He knew Lian Yiyue was not genuinely angry and had not gone far; she had simply settled for another room nearby.
"It's about time; I should go find that senior brother and head to the Xuantian Hall." After tidying up casually, Fang Chen got up and walked out of his room toward the Horse-Faced Youth.
"Junior Brother, you're here." Upon seeing Fang Chen's figure, the Horse-Faced Youth brightened up, standing up from a rock and leaping down.
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother," Fang Chen said with a cupped fist gesture.
"It's nothing to worry about, just a small matter," the Horse-Faced Youth replied with a smile, his demeanor completely different from when they first met.
"There's no time to waste; I'll take you to Xuantian Hall right now." With that, the Horse-Faced Youth waved his sleeve, and a gentle Qi Energy enveloped Fang Chen, lifting him into the air.
"Xuantian Hall is located on Earth Spirit Peak. Although it's not far from our Northern Mountain, it's inconvenient for you to travel there as a Servant Disciple," the Horse-Faced Youth explained patiently as they flew. "Xuantian Hall is mainly used for exchanging various resources, such as spirit stones, cultivation techniques, and pills. Additionally, it's also where many disciples go to accept missions."
"Within Ziyang Sect, aside from some barter between disciples, the primary way to obtain resources is through accumulated points exchanged at Xuantian Hall. Accepting Sect missions is mainly for accumulating points as well. In short, the higher your points, the better the items you can exchange."
As he spoke, the Horse-Faced Youth glanced at Fang Chen with a hint of envy and said, "Normally, Servant Disciples and newcomers like you have very few opportunities to earn points. But this time is different; that group of miscreants from Crimson Bright Sect actually dared to cause trouble in our Ziyang Sect. As a result, there's a generous point reward for slaying any member of Crimson Bright Sect. This is a rare opportunity to earn points; you have no idea how many people envy this chance. If it weren't for us being unable to intervene... heh heh..."
Suddenly, he looked surprised and turned to Fang Chen, asking, "Junior Brother, how many members of Crimson Bright Sect have you taken down? If you've killed four or five of them, I estimate that would be enough points to exchange for an Earth Spirit Pill. Having an Earth Spirit Pill would make it much easier for you when you break into Alchemy Realm."
"Uh, four or five," Fang Chen replied with a wry smile. He wasn't sure if the Horse-Faced Youth's mention of four or five included those in the top fifty. Regardless, even if it did, it was only a tiny fraction of what he had actually harvested. He had slain far more than just four or five disciples from Crimson Bright Sect.
"I'm going to get rich," Fang Chen thought to himself with bright eyes.
