Chapter 310: Alchemy Peak
Faced with Elder An’s questioning, Ji Yang showed a hint of hesitation.
This look of hesitation made Elder An furrow his brows.
Then Ji Yang slowly spoke:
“To be honest, Elder Guan, I am still a disciple of the Dan Ding Sect. Although my heart longs for the Heaven Demon Sect, would it be inappropriate to join the Heaven Demon Sect while still holding the identity of a Dan Ding Sect disciple?”
Elder An’s furrowed brow relaxed after hearing this, and he smiled as he responded:
“I thought it was something serious!”
“As cultivators, we should not be bound by worldly rules. Our Heaven Demon Sect welcomes all without discrimination. As long as you sincerely wish to join the sect, such issues are merely trivial.”
“However, considering your sincerity, you can delay your admission. You can join our Heaven Demon Sect after you leave the Dan Ding Sect!”
Ji Yang clasped his hands in gratitude:
“Thank you very much, Elder!”
Elder An nodded slightly, looking quite satisfied.
From Ji Yang’s words, he could see that the young man wished to join the Heaven Demon Sect but felt guilty about his current identity.
It was rare to find someone so sincere in the Heaven Demon Sect.
If it were other disciples, they would not dare to refuse under his authority and would have readily agreed.
This contrast made Ji Yang appear even more honest and trustworthy.
Such qualities might not be common among cultivators in the Heaven Demon Sect, but Ji Yang excelled in alchemy, which was quite favorable!
At this moment, Ji Yang was unaware of what Elder An was thinking, but he felt relieved in his heart.
Joining the sect was just a minor issue; the key was that such a large sect needed to establish soul lamps. Once his soul lamp was left here, his identity would surely be exposed, leading to certain restrictions that would be very unfavorable.
“Although you haven’t completed the admission ritual yet, you are now part of the Heaven Demon Sect. After this, you can go to Alchemy Peak to report. Elder Guan has already made the arrangements! Your identity token and other belongings will be delivered to you later.”
“Thank you, Elder.”
Ji Yang bowed again.
“Feng Yu, since this matter is settled, I’ll head back now.”
Ren Yuning, who was standing nearby, spoke up.
Ji Yang was surprised and replied:
“Senior Sister, are you leaving already?”
“Hmm, the earlier attack was likely not so simple. I need to go back to investigate!”
“Alright then, Senior Sister, take care!”
Ji Yang pretended to be reluctant.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely pretense; he was still mindful of the many treasures Ren Yuning had, but unfortunately, it seemed he couldn’t make his move for now.
However, building a good relationship now may provide an opportunity for him to leave the Heaven Demon Sect and perhaps profit from it later.
Seeing Ji Yang’s expression, Ren Yuning smiled gently:
“Junior Brother, don’t worry. After I finish handling this matter, I will go to Alchemy Peak to find you!”
Ji Yang was taken aback, silently scolding himself for speaking out of turn!
Elder An, who was nearby, heard their conversation and maintained his usual expression, but his gaze involuntarily flickered toward the two before shifting away as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“Take care, Senior Sister!”
“Safe travels, Senior Sister Ning!”
Once Ren Yuning stepped outside, shouts from several disciples could be heard sending her off.
After the noise subsided, the previous disciples of the Heaven Demon Sect entered, examining Ji Yang with varying looks.
These disciples had considerable cultivation levels, most of them being at the Nascent Soul Stage, which allowed them to hold positions here.
If it weren’t for the Elder being present, some cultivators might have been unable to suppress their eagerness to challenge Ji Yang to a match.
Facing the crowd’s gaze, Ji Yang ignored them all.
Elder An, noticing this, kindly had a disciple from the Heaven Demon Sect lead Ji Yang to Alchemy Peak!
Seeing this person not only had a good relationship with Ren Yuning but was also being taken care of by the Elder, the other cultivators’ expressions turned even less friendly.
“Feng Yu, let’s go!”
“Alright!”
Ji Yang nodded, and the two left the Outer Affairs Office together.
On the flying boat, the young man beside Ji Yang occasionally regarded him with curious eyes.
Although the Heaven Demon Sect welcomed all, the rules for recruiting disciples were quite strict. Especially for someone like Ji Yang, who came with skills, the scrutiny was even more intense.
After all, large sects preferred to cultivate high-level cultivators themselves, as it was more reliable.
This Feng Yu was clearly part of Alchemy Peak, indicating he had some skills in alchemy.
This piqued the young man’s curiosity:
“Feng Yu, are you very skilled in alchemy?”
As Ji Yang pondered how to leave the Heaven Demon Sect, he replied:
“Just average.”
Seeing that Ji Yang didn’t seem interested in discussing this further, the young man refrained from asking more questions.
Besides, he could tell that Ji Yang looked quite young, and even if his alchemy skills were impressive, they probably weren’t extraordinary!
After all, becoming an Alchemist requires sufficient time and talent to develop.
At this moment, Ji Yang’s mind was still preoccupied with thoughts on how to escape from the Heaven Demon Sect.
He wondered what Alchemy Peak was like and whether its rules were strict.
Now that he was a disciple of the Heaven Demon Sect, leaving the sect shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
However, having just entered the sect, it was best to report to Alchemy Peak first. After a few days, when everyone’s attention shifted, he could take his chance to leave the Heaven Demon Sect.
After all, while within the Heaven Demon Sect, he couldn’t reveal his identity. The seeds of spiritual plants and spiritual grains he had purchased couldn’t be planted either, which would surely reduce his cultivation points significantly.
Moreover, he couldn’t go mining either. As an Alchemist, frequently visiting the mines could raise suspicions among others.
Additionally, his identity in the He Dao Sect was known by many, so mining was definitely off the table.
However, going to Alchemy Peak wasn’t without its advantages; at least Ji Yang had learned the art of alchemy. As long as he had recipes and enough spiritual plants, he could refine pills and gain cultivation points.
It wouldn’t be bad to collect a bit more before leaving the Heaven Demon Sect.
Perhaps he might even have a chance to harvest a lot from the spiritual herb garden of the Heaven Demon Sect.
But considering the risks of exposing his identity in such an important place, Ji Yang abandoned that idea.
“This brother, what rules does our Heaven Demon Sect have? As a newcomer, I hope you can explain them so I don’t accidentally offend the sect’s rules.”
Upon hearing Ji Yang’s inquiry, the young man enthusiastically explained many of the Heaven Demon Sect’s rules to Ji Yang.
After listening carefully, Ji Yang’s expression revealed a hint of surprise.
Unlike the He Dao Sect, the rules of the Heaven Demon Sect were quite lenient, especially regarding disciples battling.
As long as they didn’t kill a fellow disciple or cause serious harm, they only needed to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones to the sect. Of course, if they didn’t have spiritual stones, they would have to resort to mining or other options.
Furthermore, fighting could not occur in important areas of the sect; otherwise, spiritual stones wouldn’t suffice.
Many rules could be resolved with spiritual stones, leading some cultivators to check their storage bags to see if they had enough before engaging in combat.
No wonder those cultivators looked so eager to challenge him; it seemed spiritual stones were quite abundant.
But this rule wasn’t very favorable for Ji Yang; when challenged by others, should he respond or not?
Hopefully, Alchemy Peak would be safe enough.
The young man also reminded him:
“Brother, since Senior Sister Ning is so close to you, you might find some trouble later on.”
