Check In and Get a Blind Box
"You've been performing very well lately, managing the Auction House house very effectively. From now on, you will officially begin managing the Mittel Auction House, Lei Ou's position will be taken over."
Upon hearing Mittel Tengshan's words, everyone in the hall looked at Ya Fei with burning eyes. No one uttered a word of rebuttal, because this was a notification, not a negotiation.
"Yes! Thank you Grand Elder." Ya Fei ignored the envy around her, nodded slightly, and clenched her jade-like hand in her sleeve.
She knew that she wasn't appointed because of the so-called good management that the Grand Elder mentioned, but because of her relationship with Xiao Tian and the Jade Bottle Xiao Tian had thrown away earlier.
She knew that the Jade Bottle wasn't compensation for killing Lei Ou, but rather compensation given to Mittel for her previous protection of Xiao Tian.
Although he didn't know what Xiao Tian had given him, he vaguely heard exclamations of surprise. Anything that could surprise the Grand Elder must be extraordinary.
"A distinguished guest has recently arrived in the family; you must not offend him, or you will be punished according to Clan Rules."
Mittel Tengshan looked at everyone in the hall with a serious expression.
"Yes, Grand Elder."
Seeing Mittel Tengshan's serious expression, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Afterwards Mittel Tengshan concluded the meeting, Ya Fei went down to take over her duties.
Only Hai Bo Dong and Mittel Tengshan remained in the entire Waiting Room.
"Hai Lao, is that person really that scary?"
Mittel Tengshan frowned and said that he must feel a little unbalanced because his family members had been killed.
"What, still want to save face? Those parasites will only affect the entire family and will bring destruction to the family sooner or later. If Xiao Tian hadn't made the first move, I would have killed them all. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole."
"You overthink things and are always calculating, but in the end, this world is all about strength. Xiao Tian has Dou Zong behind him, but how can you be sure that he's only Dou Zong?"
"Xiao Tian is like a bottomless pit. He's currently a Dou Wang and Third Grade Alchemist, but he's definitely more than that. His hidden strength makes killing me as easy as killing a chicken."
"You can consider the suggestion I gave you before. Now is the best time; it might not be later."
After Hai Bo Dong finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside, leaving Mittel Tengshan sitting there, head down, lost in thought.
Xiao Tian arrived at the foot of a mountain and looked at the huge military camp stationed there, from which the sounds of soldiers training could be faintly heard.
"Heh, the Imperial Family is indeed very wary of the Misty Cloud Sect; they've stationed Elite Legion there."
Ostensibly, they are stationed here to guard against the Misty Cloud Sect, but their purpose is certainly not limited to that. As for whether any other people who intended to join the Misty Cloud Sect suddenly ran off to join the Imperial Family army, we don't know.
Xiao Tian glanced at it and lost interest. He looked at the ancient Stone Steps that stretched from the foot of the mountain, seemingly reaching the sky. These ancient stone steps, which had existed for countless years, had witnessed countless people who were full of vigor and who had fallen in sorrow. The top of the steps was shrouded in clouds and mist.
Xiao Tian stepped up the stairs. It wasn't enrollment time, nor was it a special time, so there weren't many people walking on the stairs, only two or three.
Xiao Tianyi walked to the end of the stairs, where six disciples stood.
"This is not enrollment time. Please stop if you do not have an invitation to apply!"
A Misty Cloud Sect disciple who appeared to be a squad Captain stepped forward, approached Xiao Tian, and said without looking at him directly.
"What about this one?"
Xiao Tian directly took out a token.
The Mountain Guard Disciple reached out and took the token with both hands, and was immediately surprised. He saw a pattern of Cloud Silver Sword on the front of the token, and the words "Sect Master" written on the back.
This is the token of their Misty Cloud Sect Master; seeing the token is like seeing the man himself.
"Greetings, sir. I am Mountain Guard Disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. You may call me Xiao Li. May I ask what business this sir has with me?"
The Mountain Guard Disciple spoke respectfully, a hint of flattery in his eyes.
What a joke! This is the Sect Master's token. Anyone with this token must have a very close relationship with the Sect Master. If you build a good relationship with him, you can easily receive special treatment from the sect just by casually mentioning your name to Sect Master.
Xiao Tian cut to the chase. "I want to see your Sect Master."
"Go in and inform them."
The Mountain Guard Disciple who had spoken with Xiao Tian earlier gave instructions to another disciple beside him. The disciple bowed respectfully and then ran into the mountain, even using his Movement Dou Skills.
"Sir, may I take you to the Reception Hall?"
"Okay, lead the way."
Xiao Tian nodded slightly and said calmly.
"Sir, please follow me."
After crossing the steps, a huge circular plaza comes into view, paved entirely with massive, white jade-like stones.
Around the square stand rows of buildings, which look very grand and imposing.
In the very center of the square stands a huge Stone Stele, with the inscription at the very top, in the most prominent position, reading: Yun Potian, the first Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect.
"My lord, this is our sect's Honor Tablet. It records the names of all past Sect Master and those who have made great contributions to the sect."
Seeing Xiao Tian staring at the Stone Stele, the Mountain Guard Disciple explained.
The name at the very bottom of the list of past Sect Master is that of the Misty Cloud Sect, the ninth Sect Master of the Yun Yun Sect.
Xiao Tian shifted his gaze to other parts of the plaza. There were many people dressed in moon-white robes, with cloud-shaped Long Sword hanging from their sleeves, fluttering in the wind as if they were alive, faintly imbued with a hint of sword intent.
Misty Cloud Sect is a sect where everyone practices swordsmanship, and many of their Dou Technique are sword moves. However, the only unique one is Yun Shan.
Yun Shan, as one of the biggest villainous bosses in the early stages, can even use the Extreme Wind: Annihilation without a sword.
The disciples walking back and forth in the square noticed that Xiao Tian was wearing Alchemist's robe instead of the Misty Cloud Sect's attire, and some of them cast curious glances at him.
Ignoring the stares, Xiao Tian followed the Mountain Guard Disciple, Xiao Li, to a building.
Xiao Tian followed the disciple inside. The main hall was filled with tables and chairs.
"Please come in, sir. Please wait here for a moment, and someone will attend to you."
After bowing respectfully to Xiao Tian, Mountain Guard Disciple turned and left the main hall.
Xiao Tian casually found a seat and sat down. After a female disciple served him tea and snacks, Xiao Tian activated the system: "System Check-in."
[Ding, successfully checked in at the Misty Cloud Sect, received: Thunder Origin *1, Heavenly Soul Grass *1, Alchemist Lifetime Experience Box *1]
Heavenly Soul Grass: Consuming it will directly increase your soul level by one minor level.
A gift pack? Xiao Tian looked at the purple gift box with a question mark on the System Panel with a slight interest. This was the first time he had received such Blind Box -like reward after checking in so many times.
"Open the experience box."
Xiao Tian silently recited in his heart.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Ninth Grade Alchemist Lian Xing.]
