After arriving at the great hall, Bai Xiaofan first noticed an elderly man wearing gray seated at the head position.

"I am Wuji Zhenren, Sect Master of the Refining Sect. You've certainly caused quite a stir recently, young friend!"

Wuji Zhenren's gaze swept over Bai Xiaofan and Xue Yi below. When he saw Xue Yi, his pupils slightly contracted, before focusing on Bai Xiaofan.

"Wuji Zhenren, you overestimate me. This is merely a last-resort method to quickly attract your attention!"

Facing Wuji Zhenren above, Bai Xiaofan felt no pressure, directly sitting on the right side, and speaking frankly.

Bai Xiaofan's candor was unexpected to Wuji Zhenren, but he soon laughed heartily.

"Very good, I like your straightforward nature. I won't waste words with you; here's the deal: I will agree to three conditions of yours, but you must accept the inheritance of my Refining Sect and carry it forward to new glory!"

Wuji Zhenren spoke plainly, without any intention of circling around.

In this way, Xue Yi was taken aback.

She had expected these two to exchange verbose, insincere banter before getting to the point, but she didn't anticipate such frankness from both Bai Xiaofan and Wuji Zhenren!

What on earth, this is so unexpected!

Although she didn't know Wuji Zhenren, she knew Bai Xiaofan. When did Bai Xiaofan become so candid and direct?

What Xue Yi didn't know was that although Wuji Zhenren and Bai Xiaofan had just met, they had already judged each other's character.

Wuji Zhenren wanted Bai Xiaofan to help the Refining Sect in the future, so he naturally chose to be sincere. He was already prepared to make a sacrifice, rather than try little tricks and leave a bad impression on Bai Xiaofan.

Based on what Bai Xiaofan had done during his time with the Refining Sect's outer disciples, he could already tell the sect wanted something from him, allowing him to be more daring.

If the other party indeed had something to ask of him, then there was no need to hide his intentions. He directly informed them that everything he did was to attract their attention!

"I'd like to know why you chose me? It seems to me in your Refining Sect, there are still disciples with high cultivation levels. When I killed Zhao Wen, the woman who came forward to stop me was at the Earth Immortal mid-stage, right?"

Bai Xiaofan looked puzzled at Wuji Zhenren, voicing the question that he hadn't been able to understand these days.

With the Refining Sect's foundation, even if it couldn't compare to the likes of Tianjian Pavilion and Shangqing Palace, it shouldn't entrust the sect's future to an outsider like him.

Though Wuji Zhenren had clarified his intention, Bai Xiaofan wanted a clearer understanding.

"My Refining Sect has a legacy spanning thousands of years; even Tianjian Pavilion and Shangqing Palace have not existed as long. But alas, the Refining Sect started to decline in my generation and has now reached such a state!"

"In one week, people from Zixiao Pavilion will come to storm us. At that time, the Refining Sect will face ruin. I've used divination to predict the sect's future countless times without any clue or trace!"

"When I was about to give up and planned to fight Zixiao Pavilion to the death with everyone in the sect, I performed divination one last time, and there was finally a sign!"

At this point, Wuji Zhenren paused his speech, gazing at Bai Xiaofan in front of him.

"You're not going to tell me your divination showed me saving the Refining Sect, that I am the future of the Refining Sect?"

Bai Xiaofan's lips curled into a playful smile, not believing such a prediction.

Though he understood divination techniques, how could it be so specific?

And even if true, it would be far-fetched.

"Ha, of course not. That day while I was performing divination, suddenly the magic artifact that our sect has inherited for a thousand years cracked. Coincidentally, you arrived that day!"

"I had no other choice but to gamble that you were the one who could bring prosperity to the Refining Sect. Even if you're not, with your current full strength of Earth Immortal mid-stage cultivation, I hope you can strengthen the Refining Sect to your best ability!"

Wuji Zhenren smiled calmly at Bai Xiaofan, with an unexpected amount of sentiment.

"You knew for a long time that I'm injured?"

Bai Xiaofan didn't doubt Wuji Zhenren's words anymore.

Though unaware of the various sect strengths in the celestial realm, the strongest disciple of the Refining Sect was merely at Earth Immortal mid-stage, which was somewhat lacking.

After all, he knew Leng Feier from Shangqing Palace had cultivation far beyond that level, and even with recent cultivation, probably wasn't much different from Wuji Zhenren right now.

Such a Refining Sect certainly needs to take risks to establish itself in the celestial realm.

"It wasn't long ago. It was when you displayed the killing artistic conception that I detected something, because your killing intent was much stronger than your current realm, something no cultivator at the Divinity Transformation or Transcendence Tribulation Stage could exhibit!"

"Then on your way, when fighting Zhao Wen and Liu Guang, I became more certain you were severely injured!"

Wuji Zhenren said with a faint smile, not hiding anything.

"Alright, I need Primordial Spirit-repairing pills, as many as possible, because my Primordial Spirit was indeed severely injured!"

Bai Xiaofan no longer fussed over anything else, looking directly at Wuji Zhenren before him.

The first sentence, Bai Xiaofan directly stated what he needed just to see Wuji Zhenren's sincerity.

Since ancient times, pills capable of repairing Primordial Spirit damage have always been crucial, and even large sects wouldn't distribute them lightly.

Although the Refining Sect can refine pills and magic artifacts, it's believed they wouldn't have too many. Bai Xiaofan wanted to observe Wuji Zhenren's attitude.

If Wuji Zhenren couldn't spare even these pills, then there was no point in continuing the conversation further because it wouldn't be necessary!

But if Wuji Zhenren could provide them, then everything could proceed further!
