Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 82: High-level visit

There were a total of five people, led by Chen Shouyi, the alchemy master of Grass-Benevolence Hall. There were also Guan Shangli, the steward, female pill master Li Huai, and alchemy master Hong Qing. Following closely behind Chen Shouyi was Mu Xiaoyin.

Guan Shangli asked, "Xiaoyin, did Mi Xiaojing really advance to the Foundation Establishment stage? Don\'t spread rumors..."

Mu Xiaoyin replied, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn\'t dare report it!"

Chen Shouyi was all smiles because Mi Xiaojing was his nominal disciple. Although he wasn\'t his direct disciple, he was still a disciple, which made Chen Shouyi happy. He now had a Foundation Establishment stage follower, which increased his potential strength.

Hong Qing\'s face was dark. He hadn\'t expected Mi Xiaojing to advance so quickly. He glared at him with hatred behind Chen Shouyi and thought to himself, "He must have given him the Foundation Establishment Pill. The bastard is hiding pills!"

In the Heart Sect, if a disciple advanced to the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining, almost no one would notice. But advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage was different. The sect may not care, but the various halls below would care because it meant an increase in the hall\'s strength. Therefore, once someone advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the main figures of the hall would appear.

Just like in ancient times, when someone passed the imperial examination, their status and identity would be completely different. It was the same in the cultivation world. The Qi Refining stage was nothing, but once someone advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, it was worth winning over.

So when Mu Xiaoyin reported it, she immediately received the attention of the Grass-Benevolence Hall\'s high-level personnel, who rushed over as soon as they received the news.

Mi Xiaojing came out of the cave after receiving the news.

Since he hadn\'t activated his cultivation starlight or had the power of the Starry Sky Gang, he looked no different from an ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivator who had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Chen Shouyi approached him, looked him up and down, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, you\'re at the Foundation Establishment stage now. Kid, work hard in the Grass-Benevolence Hall. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. If the Grass-Benevolence Hall can fulfill them, we will."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Oh, I remember you\'re quite good at alchemy... Well, you\'re very perceptive. You can follow me and learn alchemy..."

Guan Shangli said, "Remember to come to Grass-Benevolence Hall. We have something for you. Also, do you want to change your residence? Oh, by the way, this place was originally for those at the Foundation Establishment stage. If you\'re used to it, you can continue living here."

He took out an identity token and handed it to Mi Xiaojing, saying, "This is a Foundation Establishment stage-specific identity token belonging to our Grass-Benevolence Hall. You can enter some restricted areas with this token."

"Also, because of your alchemy skills, you\'ve received your storage bag in advance. We won\'t give it to you again this time. Use it as usual. From now on, this storage bag will belong to you personally. Originally, we would have taken it back after the alchemy session."

Hong Qing snorted and said, "Kid, work hard. The rules of our Grass-Benevolence Hall are still very strict. Don\'t violate the hall\'s laws and regulations, or no one can save you!"

Mi Xiaojing replied calmly, "Yes!" He had to be patient here. Being arrogant was a path to death without absolute strength, and he wasn\'t that foolish yet.

Li Huai said, "In Grass-Benevolence Hall, once a disciple advances to the Foundation Establishment stage, they can make a request. Of course, it must be a request that Grass-Benevolence Hall can fulfill."

Mi Xiaojing was overjoyed. He had a place to store his alchemy furnace now. The thing he wanted most was a higher-level alchemy furnace, even if it was just slightly better than the one he had now."I need a better pill furnace... I don\'t have any other requirements."

Hong Qing questioned: "The current pill furnace is quite good, why do you need to change it? Boy, don\'t aim too high!"

Mi Xiaojing couldn\'t help but want to kill this bastard in his heart. He said, "The current pill furnace is of too low a level. It cannot refine even slightly better pills, so I need a higher-level pill furnace."

Hong Qing said, "Oh, are you confident in using a higher-level pill furnace? I don\'t think it\'s very likely! Your skill level, hehe, I think it\'s not enough. You should refine more basic pills first, and when your skill level reaches the required level, it won\'t be too late to change."

Mi Xiaojing knew this was the only chance to get a good pill furnace, and he didn\'t want to give up. Even if it meant offending Hong Qing, he had to fight for it. Moreover, he knew that he had already offended this guy.

"I have the strength and skill to refine better pills!"

Hong Qing sneered, "Pills are not spoken out of your mouth, they are refined! Anyone can talk big, but not everyone can refine pills."

Mi Xiaojing said, "I can!"

Hong Qing laughed, "I don\'t believe it! And I think you are aiming too high! Grass-Benevolence Hall doesn\'t need to give you a high-level pill furnace."

It was then that Chen Shouyi spoke up: "Ahem, well, I think it\'s possible... This is not a question of whether he can refine pills or not, but a reward from Grass-Benevolence Hall. As for whether he sells the high-level pill furnace or uses it himself after getting it, that is his freedom. Of course, there is only this one opportunity."

Hong Qing almost choked to death. These words blocked all of Hong Qing\'s excuses because it didn\'t require Mi Xiaojing to prove that he had the skill to use a high-level pill furnace. As long as he wanted it, Grass-Benevolence Hall had to give it to him. There might not be other things in Grass-Benevolence Hall, but there were quite a few pill furnaces. Over the years, Grass-Benevolence Hall had accumulated a considerable number of pill furnaces of various types, all stored in the warehouse.

Hong Qing\'s face turned livid with anger, but his strength was not enough to suppress Chen Shouyi. Among all the people present, Chen Shouyi had the highest status.

Hong Qing vowed in his heart, "Once I succeed in Foundation Establishment, damn it... I\'ll make you all pay."

Li Huai was curious and couldn\'t help but ask, "Junior Brother, can you really refine higher-level pills?"

Mi Xiaojing said firmly, "Senior Sister, I can!"

It was only now that Hong Qing realized that Mi Xiaojing was already considered his junior brother.

...

This was Mi Xiaojing\'s first time in the warehouse of Grass-Benevolence Hall, where pill furnaces were stored. Guan Shangli personally accompanied him. As for Chen Shouyi, Hong Qing, and Li Huai, they had already left. They didn\'t need to accompany him for such a small matter. It was already a great honor for them to personally visit Mi Xiaojing\'s residence.

In the Heart Sect, only when one advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage would they truly attract the attention of the sect\'s higher-ups. Advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage was not enough to make the sect pay attention.

Upon entering the warehouse, Mi Xiaojing\'s only feeling was that he was dazzled. There were forty or fifty pill furnaces accumulated over the years, some good and some bad. He didn\'t have a deep understanding of pill furnaces. Out of necessity, he called Wang Weijun again.
