Joining the Advent Sect, Winning Their Trust!

You had waited for this day for a long time, so you had prepared early.

After one night, Wang Qingxuan indeed gave you the Upper Half of the Evergreen Cultivation Technique. You did not accept it and instead expressed your desire to join the Advent Sect.

Wang Qingxuan hesitated somewhat. She frankly told you that this would cause you to fall into the Endless Abyss, but under your insistence, she agreed.

After the two of you spent a day entwined together, Wang Qingxuan took you to meet an Elder from her team.

This Elder Examined Him Again carefully. He seemed to think you were merely a minor Bronze Rank Professional, so he bluntly stated that your strength was far too weak. However, for Wang Qingxuan's sake, he could reluctantly allow you to join.

You knew it was time to display your value. You drew a machete and directly slashed a Cult Member of the Advent Faction beside you.

Since you had controlled your strength, the Cult Member was not killed outright. Instead, a huge wound dozens of centimeters long appeared on his arm, deep enough to expose the bone.

The Elder froze for a moment before flying into a rage. He believed you were overestimating yourself and trying to challenge the Advent Sect's dignity, so he ordered more than a dozen Cult Members to surround you.

In her panic, Wang Qingxuan stood in front of you, wanting to protect you.

You comforted her, gently pushed her aside, then took out a pill and stuffed it into that Cult Member's mouth.

A miraculous scene unfolded. The wound on the Cult Member's arm rapidly scabbed over, though his face remained somewhat pale.

You then fed him an unranked Blood Replenishing Pill. Before long, the severely injured Cult Member became lively and vigorous once more.

The Elder was greatly shocked upon seeing this, and the way he looked at you became somewhat strange.

You stated outright that you were an alchemist and that you had refined these miraculous pills yourself. You had long admired the Advent Sect and wanted to join it.

At the same time, you said that you wanted a higher position and did not wish to become a mere lackey from the start. You told the Elder that he was not qualified to make the decision and told him to summon someone with more authority in the sect.

The Elder's eyes flickered with uncertainty. Although he found your claims somewhat far-fetched, he also recognized your value. A master capable of refining such a Healing Panacea was absolutely not someone he could decide the fate of.

Thus, the Elder treated you well while also arranging for people to monitor you. He told you that, within three days at the latest, someone at the Guardian level would come to assess you. As long as you passed the assessment, you could become an Elder just like him.

"Whew..."

Su Xing exhaled a turbid breath as he read this, feeling somewhat excited.

In this simulation, he had truly staked everything, directly exposing his value before the Advent Sect. Perhaps he could gain enormous benefits, or perhaps this simulation would directly go gg!

"But... it's only a simulation anyway. Obtaining the Evergreen Cultivation Technique is what matters most!"

Su Xing continued the simulation.

Three days later, an old man came to find you. He personally verified the Healing Pill's effects and discovered that it was comparable to some medium-quality healing potions, immediately understanding its value even more clearly.

At the same time, the old man seemed very curious about why you could refine such wondrous pills.

You stated outright that your profession was that of a Cultivator and that you had acquired the skill of alchemy by chance. Thus, you could refine pills in large quantities. You also said that, aside from Healing Pills, you could refine several even more precious pills.

A smile appeared on the old man's face upon hearing this, as though he had known this all along. He directly stated that you had told the truth. If you had lied just now, he would have killed you on the spot without hesitation!

Afterward, he told you that you could temporarily be given the position of Vice Elder and that you would undergo a one-year observation period. Once you passed the observation, they would grant you an official Elder position!

Su Xing revealed an understanding expression upon seeing this and muttered:

"As expected, this Advent Faction definitely knows something about the Cultivation World! They even know that the pills I refined are intended for cultivators... So, could they have an entrance to a Cultivation World Dungeon in their hands?"

Su Xing was instantly excited. His current understanding of the Cultivation World was still far too limited.

Especially when it came to cultivation methods, he had no master or lineage and had relied entirely on his own exploration to make it this far.

So if he could learn more about the Cultivation World through the Advent Sect, that would be an absolute windfall!

Su Xing took a deep breath and continued the simulation.

You agreed to this Guardian's terms and joined the Advent Sect!

Unlike the authorities, the Advent Sect could not operate openly. Most of the time, they were like sewer rats, hiding in the shadows.

The old man called himself Guardian Shadow. He issued you your first month's task, requiring you to refine five hundred Healing Pills and one hundred Organ Refinement Pills.

You stated that you lacked the materials for alchemy and needed more herbs to refine pills.

Elder Shadow agreed to your request. The next day, he had his subordinates deliver a large batch of medicinal herbs.

You falsely reported the amount of herbs and secretly embezzled most of them. Then, using scraps and leftovers, you refined five hundred Healing Pills and one hundred Organ Refinement Pills.

Yet they seemed unaware of your perfunctory work, assuming that your alchemy skills were simply at that level. They also said that the pills you refined had excellent medicinal efficacy, so they demanded that you refine even more pills.

As you continuously supplied the Advent Sect with pills, your status within the sect grew higher and higher. The Elder who had previously looked down on you now warmly called you little brother. You became a new star Rising Steadily within the Advent Sect.

As your status continued to rise, you also learned more of the sect's secrets.

Another half year passed. During those six months, you provided the Advent Sect with several thousand Healing Pills and nearly one thousand Organ Refinement Pills. The Advent Sect grew increasingly less suspicious of you and had already begun treating you as one of their own.

As you demonstrated more and more value, the medicinal herbs the upper echelons provided became increasingly precious. Some were even spirit herbs, enough for you to attempt refining new pills.

You secretly pocketed the spirit herbs and began experimenting with refining and learning to refine a new pill: the Spirit Nurturing Pill!

Su Xing nodded slightly upon seeing this.

The Spirit Nurturing Pill and the Essence Nurturing Pill were both Low-Grade Pills, but their medicinal effects were vastly different. The Essence Nurturing Pill nourished a cultivator's physique and spiritual power, increasing their spiritual energy.

The Spirit Nurturing Pill, however, was used to enhance a cultivator's Spiritual Sense. Spiritual Sense was mysterious and profound, somewhat like a cultivator's sixth sense.

The Evergreen Cultivation Technique vaguely mentioned Spiritual Sense and stated that it was a method only Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could master.

However, even at the Golden Core Stage, consuming a Spirit Nurturing Pill could bring enormous benefits, improving one's control over spiritual power and more.

It was only that the main ingredient of the Spirit Nurturing Pill, Spirit Nurturing Grass, was relatively precious—even more precious than Essence Nurturing Grass.

You swindled more than a hundred stalks of Spirit Nurturing Grass from the Advent Sect and began attempting to refine Spirit Nurturing Pills yourself!
