“Oh, little guy, we meet again!”
“It’s you, Senior!”
Ling Xiao had never expected that he would meet the old man who had guarded the Sealed Gods Catalog before here in the Medicine Hall. Naturally, he also had his dog.
That dog was lying lazily on the table. It just glanced at Ling Xiao before ignoring him.
“Hahaha, we are truly destined.”
Old Yang smiled.
Ling Xiao hastily said: “Senior, this Junior must trouble you. Please take a look at my Senior Brother Wu’s situation.”
“Heh heh, other people can’t really make this old man move, but since you are here, this old man will check him in person.”
Old Yang was definitely not bragging. He was the Hall Master of the Medicine Hall. Usually, when injured people came, even inner disciples, they would be handed to the alchemists under him to deal with. He wouldn’t easily take action.
Even the higher-ups of Moonlight Sect might not necessarily make him move.
Although his cultivation base was not particularly powerful, as a famous alchemist, an extremely high level one at that, he held a special status within Moonlight Sect.
No one, including Moonlight Sect’s Sect Master, dared to easily make a move against him. After all, there were too many experts who owed him. Once he was attacked, that attacker would become a scurrying mouse.
Such an amazing man was actually willing to give Ling Xiao face.
In the end, he still liked Ling Xiao’s comprehension and wanted to accept him as his disciple. Otherwise, Ling Xiao, a trivial outer disciple, would be unworthy.
“Well, it’s not a big problem. It’s mainly because of overwork and being beaten. Since that is the case, this old man will give him medicine, and he will be fine.”
After the diagnosis, Old Yang said: “This child probably worked in the mines. Our sect needs a lot of iron ore to forge weapons. However, this kind of job should already have been handed over to the common people of the secular world. How come he, an outer disciple, is doing this?”
Ling Xiao looked at Wu Xiang who had already fallen asleep and couldn’t help being angry in his heart.
It was obvious that someone wholeheartedly wanted to make things difficult for Wu Xiang.
“Many thanks, Senior.”
“No need to be so polite. By the way, did you consider the matter this old man asked before? Even if you are really unwilling to become this old man’s disciple, it’s fine to come to the Medicine Hall to work. In any case, the work missions of the new outer disciples will be announced today.”
Old Yang said with a smile.
“Okay, Senior, since you have already said this, if I don’t give you face, it wouldn’t be good.”
Ling Xiao simply nodded.
Ling Xiao thought that although Old Yang was not as strong as Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy, his status was definitely higher than Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy’s, a newly promoted Celestial Realm Elder.
Moreover, if he wanted to advance fast, he would inevitably need medicinal materials.
Working in the Medicine Hall was a good choice for him.
Besides, Wu Xiang’s situation was already bad, while he had already offended Hei Suo. Perhaps, he would be assigned to even harder work without protection.
“Hahaha, that’s great. Since this is the case, after the deacon finishes assigning work to the outer disciples, if you are assigned with work, just tell him that you have already talked to this old man. He will not dare to obstruct you.”
Old Yang laughed heartily.
“Understood. This junior will leave first with Senior Brother Wu.”
“Hmm, remember to let him take the medicine on time. If he can, ask him to not do that kind of work. It’s too hard and wastes time for cultivation.”
Old Yang reminded.
Ling Xiao nodded, took the medicine, paid some silver, and returned with Wu Xiang.
Because they were just ordinary medicinal materials, payment via silver was fine.
Moonlight Sect still needed a lot of silver and gold to pay ordinary common workers so that the disciples didn’t need to work too lowly jobs. Moreover, the number of disciples was also not enough, so it would waste time for cultivation.
“I troubled you, Junior Brother Ling.”
Wu Xiang had already woken up after they returned to the stone house.
“What trouble! Senior Brother, what’s going on with your injuries? Were you beaten?”
Wu Xiang didn’t answer.
“Senior Brother, just tell me! In the outer sect, there is no existence that makes I, Ling Xiao, feel fear. My current goal is the inner sect!”
Ling Xiao was not being overconfident. For him, breaking through to Rank Nine Martial Vein was close at hand.
Under the Transcendent Realm, he feared no one.
What Half Great Master?
What he cared about were those genuine Transcendent Great Masters!
“Well said!”
Zhao Zhi suddenly walked in from outside while clapping and said: “The outer sect is insignificant. Our target ought to be the inner sect, which is the gathering place of true geniuses. There are many geniuses like Ming Tian and Leng Hao.”
“Did you return after accepting the work mission?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“No, I have already found a job. I just returned to pack things up, before moving to the Weapon Hall.”
Zhao Zhi explained: “How about it, Ling Xiao? Come with me. You have offended Tian Chao, so your assigned work will definitely not be good.”
“Many thanks for your good intentions, Second Prince, but I’m fine.”
Ling Xiao replied with a smile.
“Then, I can do nothing, but I want to warn you that the one who injured Wu Xiang is Yang Cheng, ranked tenth in the outer sect ranking. He is very strong, even among Half Great Masters. You can see this from the ranking. Don’t stand up for irrelevant people. There will not be any good fruit to eat.”
After speaking, Zhao Zhi went to pack his things up.
“Yang Cheng!”
Ling Xiao quietly memorized this name.
“Ling Xiao, the work is being assigned. Quickly go to the square!”
An acquainted disciple shouted from outside.
After defeating Tian Chao, Ling Xiao had been very popular among the new disciples. Everyone was willing to have a good relationship with him.
“Got it!”
Ling Xiao responded, arranged Wu Xiang to rest, and walked out.
On the square, most of the new outer disciples were gathered here, including several people who had already received work. They were here to watch the excitement.
Zhao Zhi also accompagnied Ling Xiao.
“Allegedly, the top-30 outer disciples will come today. I wonder how many will come. Everyone wants to see them.”
Zhao Zhi smiled and explained to Ling Xiao.
His words clearly had the intention of reminding Ling Xiao that Yang Cheng was the tenth-ranked outer disciple.
“Came, they came! Three people actually came at once!”
In the eyes of the new outer disciples, the top 30 outer disciples were all myths. After all, they were the thirty most outstanding among over 1,000 people. All of them were Half Great Masters.
Therefore, when someone came, they were all excited.
Ling Xiao followed everyone’s gaze.
Sure enough, there were three.
All were new faces.
“Yang Cheng truly came! Furthermore, there is Li Anle, who is ranked twenty-sixth, and even Jin Ming, who is ranked third.”
Zhao Zhi seemed very family with the Moonlight Sect’s outer sect. He quickly revealed the names of these three.
After all, he was the Second Prince, so his intelligence work was good.
People had to admire him.
