Chapter 65: I'm actually not interested in fighting and killing

These five main peaks of the Five Elements Sect, their alchemy hall, are the most disordered of all. The senior elders do as they please.

Not only because the alchemy hall holds a high position in the Five Elements Sect and is highly regarded, but also because there is an unruly peak master. It could be said that the top is not straight, so the bottom is crooked.

As the vice peak master, Zuo Yiying also put a lot of effort into the alchemy hall.

"Senior Sister Zuo." The people's expressions turned serious, and they quickly paid their respects, as if they were afraid of this person.

Chen Xun also bowed his head and respectfully saluted, secretly swallowing his saliva. As a vice peak master, she was at least a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, but she was incredibly young and had a commanding presence.

"Chen Xun, come with me." Zuo Yiying, graceful with long hair down to her waist, walked towards a side hall while carrying herself with confidence.

"Senior Brothers and Sisters, I'll be going now." Chen Xun led the big black ox and bid farewell to the senior elders.

"Safe travels, Junior Brother Chen Xun."

"Actually, Senior Sister Zuo is not a bad person. Don't worry too much, Junior Brother Chen Xun."

"Junior Brother Chen Xun, go with peace of mind. If it's not convenient, we can also take care of this black ox spiritual beast."

...

The senior elders earnestly spoke one after another, and Chen Xun felt increasingly uneasy as he walked away, constantly glancing back at their expressions. What did they mean?

In the side hall, Zuo Yiying sat in the main seat, her eyes focused and fixed on Chen Xun.

Chen Xun tried to smile, sometimes raising his head and sometimes lowering it. This woman was playing mind games with me, it seemed.

The big black ox, however, showed no fear and gazed appreciatively at the layout of the side hall.

"Chen Xun, a native of Yongquan Prefecture in the Qian Dynasty, failed in the Ascension Great Competition at Nine Star Valley and joined the Five Elements Sect. He diligently cultivated spirit fields and also participated in the sect's major competitions."

Zuo Yiying spoke slowly, never taking her eyes off of Chen Xun. "Twenty years ago, you entered the South Dip Mountain and obtained three Foundation-Building spirit herbs for the sect. Afterward, you quietly cultivated spirit fields..."

Chen Xun felt a bit dry in the throat after listening. Most of their experiences were true, but they had also done many other things, such as going for rides, hunting, reading, and catching mountain chickens. It wasn't as dull as she portrayed it.

"Your background is clean, and there don't seem to be any issues."

Zuo Yiying nodded slightly and felt a bit hopeful, hoping he wouldn't be led astray by the temptation of a longer lifespan, as having a five-element mixed spiritual root made it impossible to break through to the Golden Core stage.

"Chen Xun, my Junior Brother," Zuo Yiying's tone softened.

"Please speak, Senior Sister." Chen Xun instinctively took a step back.

Zuo Yiying smiled brightly and said softly, "Although it's difficult for those with five-element spiritual roots to reach the Golden Core stage, you still have over three hundred years of life, and you can accomplish many meaningful things."

"Of course, Junior Brother naturally understands," Chen Xun's heart sank, but he still responded with a smile.

The big black ox, on the other hand, felt slightly irritated. Wasn't this woman supposed to be encouraging them to work honestly for the sect?

In reality, they understood the situation. It was just that this woman was being overly clever and not leaving them any dignity. She had said that she would cultivate spiritual herbs properly, and then she added more conditions.

Zuo Yiying nodded and, in an instant, changed her expression. She took out a set of clothing from her storage bag and floated it in front of Chen Xun, saying, "The position of a senior elder requires at least the mid-stage of the Foundation Building realm. However, since you have been admitted to the Alchemy Hall, you should no longer wear the attire of an outer disciple."

"Yes, Senior Sister," Chen Xun bowed, and he noticed that the senior elders were wearing cyan-gray robes that exuded a sense of stability.

Zuo Yiying took out a cyan-gray token from her storage bag, infused it with spiritual power, and looked at Chen Xun. "Junior Brother Chen, offer a drop of your blood."

Chen Xun's eyes narrowed, and he didn't hesitate. He forced out a drop of his blood from his body and sent it flying into the air.

The cyan-gray token floated in mid-air and instantly absorbed Chen Xun's blood, emitting a cyan light. It seemed to acknowledge its master and flew directly towards Chen Xun, landing in his hand.

"This token is a prohibition token of the Fuguang Xuanpin Grand Array. It allows you to enter the sect's real spiritual herb garden. I won't go into too much detail about the rules."

With grace, Zuo Yiying sat down slowly. "People who practice the Water Spirit Technique to the second level are calm and undisturbed. If there are no urgent matters, the sect won't disturb them, and their freedom won't be restricted."

"But," Zuo Yiying hadn't finished her sentence.

Chen Xun was about to express his joy and gratitude when a cold voice interrupted, dousing his excitement like a bucket of cold water.

"The sect's spiritual herb garden is a matter of great importance. If, within a hundred years, someone is absent for twenty years, it will be considered desertion, and anyone from the Five Elements Sect who encounters them will be executed."

Zuo Yiying raised her head slightly, looking down at Chen Xun. "Although it sounds harsh, every nation has its laws, and every sect has its rules. It's not targeted at you, Junior Brother Chen."

With the Fuguang Xuanpin Grand Array overseeing the spiritual herb garden, it had an inherent detecting function; even Golden Core stage cultivators couldn't secretly take away a spiritual herb seed without being noticed. This was one of the secrets of the Five Elements Sect.
