Joining the Pill Hall makes you an official disciple of the Qinghua Sect.

The Golden Core Upper Sect holds very high standards for its disciples. For example, Qin Shuang of the past, who possessed a High Grade Spiritual Root and a clear family background, was admitted.

Chen Sheng managed to take the 'special talent channel' and secured a place in the sect's record through his alchemy skills.

In the Alchemy Alliance, the rotating pill rooms were filled with curling smoke, and the Purple Gold Furnace hung silently in the air, with the aftertaste of elixir pills from the examination lingering in the air.

"Joining our Pill Hall means becoming a formal disciple of the Qinghua Sect. One must go to the sect for official registration in the Jade Scroll, and collect the sect's standard-issue Magic Robe, Jade Token, etc."

Li Changyang slightly smiled:

"Coincidentally, my rotation time is almost up. Let's go, I'll take you along the way!"

Chen Sheng respectfully cupped his fists:

"Thank you, Elder!"

Li Changyang nodded slightly, pressing lightly on Chen Sheng's shoulder, his sleeve brushing gently, a gentle yet overwhelming force lifting Chen Sheng.

"Let's go!"

Boom—!

A condensed, earthy-yellow Escape Light instantly surged, wrapping around the two, soaring skyward like a meteor tearing through the sky!

It was Chen Sheng's first time experiencing the flying speed of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, several times faster than his 'leisurely' use of Magical Artifacts.

Traveling through the clouds and mist, leaving a white vapor trail for miles, they broke the sound barrier, the piercing sound carrying ten miles!

In just one hour, they flew over two thousand three hundred miles.

Then, a colossal mountain range, connecting heaven and earth, surrounded by clouds and fog, layered peaks with lush greenery, spread before them.

This was the Qinghua Sect's Taoist ground, Qinghua Mountain. Its grand entrance, with pavilions and towers hidden in the sea of clouds and rosy glow, emitted auspicious energy from thousands of strands.

An ancient Jade Pendant at Li Changyang's waist flashed lightly, causing the surrounding clouds to scatter away, and the Mountain Protection Array ahead opened soundlessly like a water surface.

The yellow Escape Light did not pause, piercing straight into the depths of the clouds to a towering pillar-like Cyan Cloud Peak. Finally, the Escape Light gathered, landing atop the Cyan Cloud Peak in front of a magnificent main hall with flying eaves and intricate beams.

Chongdan Hall.

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Chen Sheng followed closely.

...

Just as they arrived at the hall entrance, a horse-faced cultivator in the Pill Hall's standard robe came up briskly:

"Ah! Elder Li has returned to the mountain? Disciple Zhao Jinhua greets the elder!"

His face was full of fawning smiles, his waist bent very low. When he raised his head, his gaze quickly fell on Chen Sheng and swiftly passed by.

Li Changyang glanced at him and pointed at Chen Sheng behind him, tossing out a Jade Scroll:

"This is a newly recorded disciple of the Pill Hall. Here is his basic information. I'll leave him to you."

Li Changyang's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable weight. Zhao Jinhua respectfully accepted the Jade Scroll with both hands, his waist bending even lower:

"Ah! Rest assured, sir! Leave it to this disciple! I'll ensure everything is properly handled!"

"Elder, take care."

Li Changyang nodded slightly at Chen Sheng, then his sleeve flinched, instantly transforming into a pale yellow Escape Light, disappearing into the depths of the peak.

After the Escape Light entirely vanished in the depths of the clouds, Zhao Jinhua straightened up, turning his gaze back to Chen Sheng, raising his head, squeezing out a professional smile:

"This Junior Brother, truly impressive! I am Zhao Jinhua, a Steward Disciple within the hall. May I know your name, Junior Brother?"

Chen Sheng also smiled, cupping his hands in return courtesy:

"I am Chen Sheng."

Zhao Jinhua's smile remained unchanged:

"So it's Junior Brother Chen. Please follow me; I will first take you for registration."

Chen Sheng nodded:

"Thank you, Brother Zhao."

As they journeyed through the corridors and deep halls, Zhao Jinhua made constant subtle inquiries, while Chen Sheng responded seamlessly without giving anything away.

...

Inside the hall, at the record office, during the registration in the Jade Scroll, Zhao Jinhua saw Li Changyang's comments from the Jade Scroll.

[Chen Sheng, aged twenty-eight, possesses outstanding talent, has profound mastery in Fire Control and Pill Formation, almost reaching the Mastery Realm.]

[Can be considered the pinnacle of a Tier One Alchemist, with only a handful in the hall that can stand shoulder to shoulder with him!]

The seal, marked with Li Changyang's mana imprint!

Boom!

Zhao Jinhua's fingers tightened sharply around the Jade Scroll, a hint of shock momentarily flickering across his long, horse-like face. To receive such an appraisal from Elder Li?

A pinnacle-level Tier One Alchemy Skill, with limitless prospects!

No wonder Elder Li personally saw him off; perhaps one day he would be apprenticed under the elder?

Thinking so, Zhao Jinhua looked at Chen Sheng, his smile growing even wider, and even carried a hint of warmth:

"Junior Brother Chen! Thank you for waiting! Let us proceed. Registration is a minor matter and will be done swiftly!"

He personally recorded into the Jade Scroll with nimble movements, his tone friendly:

"It's recorded, and now I shall take you to receive your stipend, Magic Robe, Jade Token, Monthly Spirit Stone, and Contribution Points. Not a single thing shall be missing!"

...

Before long, under Zhao Jinhua's guidance, Chen Sheng received the new disciple stipend. The Pill Hall's standard Magic Robe was woven from top-grade Ice Silkworm Spirit Silk, coming with built-in dust-repelling and temperature control arrays.

The Identity Jade Token was of a warm, dark color, with the core array pattern of the Pill Hall on the front and the name inscribed on the back.

There was also a small pouch containing thirty Lower Grade Spirit Stones as the first month's stipend, along with an initial twenty Contribution Points automatically marked in the Identity Jade Token.

Finally, Zhao Jinhua led Chen Sheng to a large tower with strict restrictions, constructed entirely from Ink Jade Spirit Bamboo, with flowing fluorescence.

It was the Dharma Hall!

Zhao Jinhua pointed at that tower:

"This is our Pill Hall's Dharma Transmission Pavilion. As a new disciple, you can choose one heritage from the lower three floors, according to the rules."

After a pause, Zhao Jinhua lowered his voice, speaking earnestly in his ear with the tone of someone with experience:

"When entering the pavilion to choose a method, be very cautious; don't just go for the grand-sounding ones, look for those that align with you."

"Opportunities are rare, Junior Brother, please make your selection carefully. There are several pitfalls inside, and people fall for them every year."

Zhao Jinhua accompanied warmly and enthusiastically, raising Chen Sheng's vigilance. Realizing this, he understood this was the cue for seeking benefits.
