For Zhao Zhi and Xu Ying, Ling Xiao’s stupid actions truly helped a lot. They could take this chance to have a good look at the top 30.
In the Moonlight Sect, the top 30 outer disciples were also called ‘quasi-inner disciples,’ although not officially.
After all, the top 30 were Half Great Masters and had more resources than those below. In addition, they had more opportunities to be guided by the Outer Elders.
Calling them quasi-inner disciples didn’t seem to be an exaggeration.
In the outer sect, everyone wanted to become a quasi-inner disciple, and Zhao Zhi, Xu Ying, and Zhao Ci were no exception.
Ling Xiao didn’t care about these external comments. The reason he had chosen Li Anle and Yang Cheng was not entirely for revenge.
In fact, he also wanted a reference.
Yang Cheng who ranked within the top ten among outer disciples, so he could roughly judge the strength of the top ten by fighting against him. Then, he would be more confident in challenging those stronger.
Although he had already stepped into Initial Rank Nine Martial Vein, he had no intention of using his full cultivation base and would pretend to be at Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein.
The greater the pressure, the greater the improvement. This was Ling Xiao’s experience.
“Junior Brother Ling, I’ll be away for these days. Since Yang Cheng and Li Anle think that I’m already dead, I will take this chance to enter seclusion. I can’t watch your challenge.”
Wu Xiang had already thought through about it. Now that his seal had been opened, there was no need to keep hiding. He once thought that being a good person would be safer; therefore, he had asked an expert to seal his soul.
However, as he saw it now, the world was not as beautiful as he had imagined. Thus, he didn’t care anymore. Even if he became bloodthirsty, it wouldn’t matter.
He believed that he would never hurt Ling Xiao. Even his previous bloodthirsty self had never harmed his friends or relatives.
“But is it okay to not show up for a long time?” asked Ling Xiao.
“The outer disciples are not very valued. It has already been several days since Leng Mei disappeared, but has anyone cared?”
Wu Xiang sighed and said, “As long as the outer disciples disappear for less than ten years, no one will care. Even if it exceeds ten years, they will just cross out their names. Naturally, for the time you have disappeared, your salary will not be paid.”
“So, that’s the case. It seems that White Cloud Old Man was right. In the Moonlight Sect, outer disciples are just a bunch of stinking ****.”
Ling Xiao said with a sigh.
……
On that day, Wu Xiang left the Moonlight Sect’s outer sect. One could guess that he had gone somewhere to cultivate, but Ling Xiao didn’t need to worry about this.
He cleaned up a bit and left the stone house to report to the Medicine Hall.
A disciple like him who had been personally invited by the Hall Master could live in the Medicine Hall. After all, Medicine Hall had its own houses that were much better than the outer disciples’.
Zhao Zhi, Zhao Ci, and Xu Ying had the same privileges.
Dai Yuling might also have such privileges, but the other disciples were not so lucky.
Hall Master Old Yang was very good to Ling Xiao.
When Ling Xiao went to the Medicine Hall, Hall Master Old Yang smiled and left all his matters to his subordinates. He then took Ling Xiao on a tour around the various departments of the Medicine Hall.
Medicine Hall of Moonlight Sect included Medicine Mountain, Beast Mountain, Alchemy Room, Medicine Refiner, Medical Room, and so on. In any case, there were dozens of branches, which truly opened Ling Xiao’s horizons.
Along the way, Hall Master Old Yang didn’t skimp on enticing Ling Xiao with honeyed words. He spoke about the benefits of becoming an Alchemist or Medicine Master.
Hall Master Old Yang also said that he would be respected by countless, become the hope of the sect, rise rapidly in the world, and so on.
Ling Xiao simply responded ambiguously.
In his heart, no matter how good alchemy was, he could at most become a hash-slinger of others. Even if he had to study alchemy, it would be as an aid to improve his cultivation, not as his main profession.
As long as it didn’t affect his cultivation, there was nothing wrong with becoming an alchemist.
“We pay respects to Hall Master Old Yang!”
“Hello, Old Yang!”
“Good afternoon, Old Yang!”
Along the way, many people came to greet Hall Master Old Yang. These people seemed to be very respectful to him, but no one knew what they were thinking inside.
Perhaps, some were respectful from their hearts.
Some might just not want to offend Hall Master Old Yang to avoid being left untreated when they were sick or injured.
Some people were respectful on the surface purely because they needed Hall Master Old Yang to refine a pill. As for what they thought, no one could know.
Hall Master Old Yang didn’t seem to care too much about their attitudes. He was already used to flattery. He knew very well what these people were thinking and just smiled.
As for the puppy, it lay on his shoulder, still sleeping.
It was unknown why this little guy slept so much as if it could never get enough sleep.
Naturally, many people noticed Ling Xiao.
“Isn’t that the new outer disciple that publicly challenged Yang Cheng and Li Anle? How come he is walking with Hall Master Old Yang? It seems they are acquaintances.”
Naturally, many outer disciples made such comments. These outer disciples were already very satisfied to get errands from the Medicine Hall, even if they were hard tasks.
This was because the air of Medicine Hall was full of spiritual qi. Staying here for a long time would make one’s cultivation improve faster.
What they didn’t understand was why a new outer disciple able to come. Moreover, why had Hall Master Old Yang personally come to receive him?
“That kid can’t be Hall Master Old Yang’s relative from the secular world?”
“Don’t speak nonsense. I have never heard that Hall Master Old Yang has relatives in the secular world. Do you even know how old he is? Even if he has relatives, he wouldn’t recognize them.”
“Then, is he the new disciple of Hall Master Old Yang?”
“No, Hall Master Old Yang is very strict when accepting disciples. He is just a new outer disciple, so how can he become Hall Master Old Yang’s disciple? You should know that many geniuses of even the inner sect wanted to become Hall Master Old Yang’s disciple, but they were all rejected.”
“Then, what’s going on here?”
The discussions were very quiet. However, it was true that everyone was jealous. Ling Xiao was actually regarded so highly by Hall Master Old Yang. Even if he were not a disciple, his status in Old Yang’s mind was definitely not low.
“That is Medicine Mountain over there. It is full of spiritual qi and most suitable for the growth of various medicinal materials.”
Not long after, Hall Master Old Yang brought Ling Xiao to the Medicine Mountain.
Ling Xiao looked at this mountain range with dozens of mountains and couldn’t help thinking about Dai Yuling.
He had been very busy with his own affairs in the past few days, so he hadn’t come to look for her. When all was said and done, she was his Senior Sister who had been together in the Hidden Dragon Battalion.
Although his relationship with her was not as good as his friendship with Ling Yixue and Leng Mei, they were all from one group, so their relationship was much better than with others.
