Beast Taming Sect's Pill Peak

"I wonder if Elder Wang could lend a hand?"

As he spoke, Song Wen produced a Storage Bag and handed it to Elder Wang.

Elder Wang did not take the Storage Bag; he waved his hand and said...

"Fellow Daoist Wu has misunderstood me. I can vouch for you, but not for your Spirit Stone. I simply want to establish a good relationship with you so that I may be able to lend a hand in the future if I need your help."

When Song Wen saw that the other party refused to accept the Storage Bag, he thought he had encountered an upright person who was even rarer than a top-grade Spirit Root.

After hearing what the other party said, Song Wen finally understood:

The other party is playing the long game; they'll definitely want something from me later.

Using kindness as a pretext for future repayment!

However, Elder Wang had clearly miscalculated.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Song Wen's face as he put away the Storage Bag, his voice tinged with apology.

"It was my own petty thinking; I hope Elder Wang will forgive me."

Elder Wang said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, there's no need to blame yourself. It's normal for us to have some misunderstandings since this is our first meeting. I find you to be a straightforward person, which suits my temperament quite well. We should try to keep in touch more often in the future."

Song Wen looked flattered.

"Elder Wang flatters me. I hope you will take good care of Elder Wang in the future. If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. Elder Wang will do my best to help."

"Hahaha... I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Fellow Daoist Wu is indeed straightforward."

After some conversation, Elder Wang set up a small flying ship, about seven or eight meters long, and took Song Wen to the Beast Taming Sect.

Nestled among the mountains are dozens of towering peaks that pierce the clouds, shrouded in mist and clouds, resembling Immortal Realm that seems to transcend the mortal realm.

Each mountain peak is connected by an iron chain bridge.

Countless disciples of the Beast Taming Sect flew back and forth among them, some flying on swords, others riding spirit beasts, creating a magnificent scene of immortals.

Deep within the Beast Taming Sect lies a majestic mountain peak, its cliffs sheer and precipitous, as if carved by a knife and axe.

At the summit of the mountain stood a dark and imposing palace.

Elder Wang's flying boat landed directly on the square outside the palace.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, this is the sect's Law Enforcement Hall. Since you are Rogue Cultivator who joined the sect halfway through, according to the rules, the Law Enforcement Hall must first verify your identity to prevent demonic cultivators from infiltrating the sect. Fellow Daoist, you possess an aura of righteousness and could never be Devil Cultivator. The verification is merely a formality for you."

Song Wen nodded.

Beforehand, he had a general understanding of the process of joining the Beast Taming Sect.

Every rogue Rogue Cultivator who joins the Beast Taming Sect halfway through their cultivation journey must undergo inspection by the Law Enforcement Hall.

With Elder Wang leading the way, Song Wen smoothly entered the depths of the Law Enforcement Hall and arrived at a room made of black stones.

Inside the room, an elderly man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

This old man was actually a Golden Core expert.

Even when Song Wen and Elder Wang entered, the old man did not open his eyes to look at them.

"Disciple Wang Ming greets Vice Hall Master Feng." Elder Wang bowed to the old man.

Song Wen also bowed, "I am Wu Sheng, greetings to you, senior."

The old man nodded slightly but did not speak.

Elder Wang pointed to Song Wen and explained his purpose.

Palace Master Feng raised his eyes, his deep, unfathomable gaze sweeping over Song Wen, accompanied by a surge of powerful Divine Sense that swept over Song Wen's entire body.

Lord Feng thought to himself.

"He cultivates authentic Daoist Cultivation Method and doesn't have much killing Sha Qi on him; he truly resembles someone who has been in seclusion for many years."

Without any visible movement, a black lamp suddenly appeared in front of Palace Master Feng and spoke to Song Wen.

"You possess no Evil Qi or Sha Qi, and have passed my examination. I will leave a trace of your soul's essence on this Soul Lamp, and you will officially become a member of the Beast Taming Sect."

"Before that, I must remind you that once you join the Beast Taming Sect, you will be a member of the Beast Taming Sect for life. You must strictly abide by the sect's rules and regulations. If you violate them, you will be punished according to the law. It's not like when you were Rogue Cultivator, free and unrestrained."

Song Wen said, "Thank you for your guidance, Hall Master Feng. I sincerely wish to join the Beast Taming Sect and will certainly keep the sect's rules in mind, daring not to overstep them in the slightest."

Palace Master Feng nodded, quite satisfied with Song Wen's answer.

"Since you are a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I don't need to help you extract your soul aura, do I?"

"No need for the Palace Master to take action; this disciple will do it myself."

Song Wen quickly got into character, identifying himself as a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect.

Song Wen held his breath and concentrated, mobilizing his soul power to draw out a wisp of soul energy that he had prepared beforehand from his Sea of Consciousness and inject it into the Soul Lamp.

The Soul Lamp immediately lit up with a faint light, emitting a faint aura of soul energy.

Lord Feng took the Soul Lamp with one hand and made Method Formula hand seal with the other.

A beam of Netherglow shot out from the Soul Lamp and landed directly on Song Wen.

He was testing whether the soul energy within the Soul Lamp truly originated from Song Wen.

Seeing that the test results were satisfactory, Palace Master Feng casually waved his hand, and the Soul Lamp flew out of the room on its own, drifting towards the place where the Soul Lamp of the Beast Taming Sect members were stored.

He took out a Message Jade Slip and sent a message.

He took out another token, used magic to steal a trace of aura from Song Wen, sealed it into the token, and then handed the token to Song Wen.

"Wu Sheng, from this moment on, you are a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. I have already sent a message to the Peak Master of Dan Peak; when you arrive at Dan Peak, someone will receive you."

"Thank you, Hall Master Feng. This disciple takes his leave."

Song Wen and Wang Ming walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall.

After leading Song Wen to Pill Peak, Wang Ming took his leave.

Pill Peak is a high mountain with abundant Spiritual Qi, lush trees, and verdant greenery.

Before Song Wen even landed on Pill Peak, a male cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining arrived, flying through the air.

"May I ask if you are Elder Wu Sheng, a new member of Pill Peak?"

The positions of elders in the Beast Taming Sect are divided into four levels.

They are respectively Honorary Elder, Deacon Elder, Offering Elder, and Guardian Elder.

The so-called honorary elders are actually just people with the title of elders but no real power. All disciples of the Beast Taming Sect will automatically become honorary elders after advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The deacons and elders are a group of people with real power, responsible for managing some specific affairs of the sect.

For example, Wang Ming, who introduced Song Wen to the Beast Taming Sect, was an elder in charge.

The honored elders are a group of elders with a relatively high status among those Foundation Establishment Realm, and they have often made significant contributions to the sect.

The Guardian Elder is the highest-ranking elder, second only to Golden Core cultivators in status and position within the Beast Taming Sect.

The main and deputy Peak Master of each peak are generally Golden Core cultivators.

This is why the Qi Refining disciple addressed Song Wen as "Elder".
