Chapter 782: Chapter 780: Becoming a Disciple of a Golden Core Period Expert

Zhihe replied, ”We are currently within the territory of the Elixir Sect. I feel Xu Wendong might be trying to seek refuge with the Elixir Sect.”

Yao Tian was momentarily stunned, then grinned widely, ”Does he think going to the Elixir Sect can help him escape the hunt? He truly knows nothing about my Azure Dragon Stronghold’s influence!”

”Thank you, Friend Zhihe, for the reminder. My Azure Dragon Stronghold always welcomes you as a guest.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yao Tian took out a dark red token from his storage bag, infused it with his soul force, and said respectfully, ”Elder Wuchen, I am Yao Tian from the Azure Dragon Stronghold. There’s something I would like your help with. I wonder if you are available?”

The Three Mountains and Nine Fortresses might appear improper, but that’s not the case. While some among the Three Mountains and Nine Fortresses are cold-blooded and ruthless,

these forces were indeed established by the world’s loose cultivators.

As the Second Master of the Azure Dragon Stronghold, how could he not know some significant figures?

Although he wished to personally eliminate Xu Wendong,

he knew he couldn’t keep up with Xu Wendong’s pace with his speed.

A hoarse voice came from the dark red token, ”So, it’s you, little rascal. What do you need?”

Yao Tian immediately replied, ”Here’s the thing, a guy killed the Fourth Master of my Azure Dragon Stronghold. I want to kill him to avenge our Fourth Master, but that guy has an invisibility talisman, and he got away.”

”As far as I know, he escaped to the Elixir Sect. I hope Elder Wuchen can help me kill him.”

By this point, Yao Tian no longer wished to covet those two magic artifacts on Xu Wendong.

Unless he killed Xu Wendong himself,

if Elder Wuchen stepped in, he wouldn’t get a single one of the two artifacts.

He wanted to eliminate Xu Wendong just to slap Cai Jin’s face.

Aren’t you trying to protect Xu Wendong?

If the Second Elder of the Elixir Sect took action, it wouldn’t matter that Xu Wendong was your brother; even your ancestral home wouldn’t deter from the Second Elder of the Elixir Sect, would it?

Wuchen’s voice slowly resounded, ”If I remember correctly, your relationship with the Fourth Master of the Azure Dragon Stronghold wasn’t too friendly, was it?”

Yao Tian smiled awkwardly, ”Elder Wuchen is right. My relationship with the Fourth wasn’t that good, but that guy killed the Fourth and took his magic artifact.”

”And as far as I know, he seems to possess two magic artifacts.”

”If he indeed has two magic artifacts, I could perhaps grant you one.” Wuchen’s voice carried undeniable excitement.

Even though he was the Second Elder of the Elixir Sect, magic artifacts still held a strong allure for him.

Yao Tian was overjoyed, ”Then I shall await Elder Wuchen’s successful news!”

On the other side.

Xu Wendong and the people from the Chen Escort Agency arrived at the Elixir Sect by dusk.

What met their eyes was a continuous mountain range, with layers upon layers of peaks and verdant trees in sight. From time to time, flocks of birds flew across the sky.

The spiritual energy here was exceptionally dense, and one could vaguely see buildings on the mountaintop shrouded in white clouds, though only a small part was visible. Even so, it gave a grand and majestic feeling.

At the foot of the mountain, disciples dressed in gray robes awaited there.

They counted the goods, confirmed everything was correct, and gave Chen Xi a sum of money, indicating that the Chen Escort Agency had successfully completed the Elixir Sect’s task.

”Young Master Xu, we part ways here then!” Chen Xi forced a smile. Though there was much reluctance in her heart, she knew the difference between her and Xu Wendong was vast.

Rather than that, it was better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

Xu Wendong, ”Take care!”

”We’re leaving!” Chen Xi rode her horse, squeezed its sides, and galloped swiftly away.

The escorts from the Chen Escort Agency followed closely behind.

”Take care, the both of you!” Xu Wendong said to the two disciples of the Elixir Sect, ”I am Xu Wendong, from the mundane world, with a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment Stage. I wish to join the Elixir Sect to learn the alchemy technique. I ask the two of you to report this!” With that, he took out two spirit stones.

In fact, Xu Wendong’s spirit stones were few, but he knew that to save a lot of trouble in the martial world, the best way was to favor others.

Sure enough, upon seeing the two spirit stones, the two disciples of the Elixir Sect showed dazzling brilliance in their eyes.

”Brother Xu, please wait a moment. We’ll be right back.” The two of them scampered away up the winding mountain path, disappearing from Xu Wendong’s sight.

Xu Wendong waited patiently.

Moments later.

A blazing sword light tore through the sky.

Subsequently,

an old man in a cyan robe, with white hair and beard, appeared in the void, standing atop a cyan longsword.

He stood with one hand behind his back, gazing down at Xu Wendong from above, as if merging with heaven and earth, giving off an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

Especially his gaze, sharp as a knife, made Xu Wendong feel a strong sense of oppression.

Moreover, he felt as if, under the other’s gaze, he stood before him entirely bare, with all his secrets thoroughly exposed.

This was definitely the strongest expert he had ever encountered in his life.

There was no second.

Just the sword flight technique was something only a Golden Core Period expert could possess.

”Junior Xu Wendong pays respects to senior!” He bowed in salute.

The old man slowly landed on the ground, eyes showing a satisfied look, ”A twenty-something cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment Stage, such talent is as rare as a phoenix feather across the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, not to mention you cultivated in the mundane world!”

Xu Wendong hurriedly said, ”It’s mainly because I’m a bit lucky!”

Thankfully, the old man didn’t know Xu Wendong had only been cultivating for a year; had he known, he would have been too shocked to speak.

”Don’t be arrogant, and don’t be impatient, a good seedling indeed.” The old man found Xu Wendong increasingly pleasing, stroking his beard, ”I am Wuming, the Third Elder of the Elixir Sect. Are you willing to apprentice under this old man?”

Before Xu Wendong could speak, a terrifying aura emerged from the eastern sky, followed by an old man in a black robe, with the bearing of a crane and youthful face, flying in on a sword.

For some reason,

the instant he saw the other, Xu Wendong instinctively felt as if facing a formidable foe. Though he didn’t know this old man, he sensed an invisible killing intent from him.

Especially the greedy glint in his eyes when he looked at Xu Wendong.

The old man floated in midair, his eyes filled with disdain, ”Third Elder, this young man is exceptionally talented, but even if he becomes your disciple, what of it? Do you have the capability to turn him into a pillar of strength?”

”As far as I can see, you should return to your Emerald Bamboo Forest to cultivate; don’t mislead the sons of man.”

Wuming’s face turned red with this remark, yet he had no words to counter it. Although he was a Golden Core Period expert and a master of alchemy, he had once suffered a severe injury, leading his life-bound Golden Core to crack.

So much so that he could no longer refine elixirs now.

This had become a lifelong pain for him.

Just as he was about to give up taking Xu Wendong as a disciple, preparing to leave with his flying sword,

Xu Wendong suddenly knelt on the ground with a resolute look, ”Disciple Xu Wendong is willing to apprentice under Elder Wuming!”
