Chapter 11: Cloud Mist Sect Assessment
Monster Beast Mountain Range
Amethyst Winged Lion King's Lair
At this moment, Chen Xuan's gaze fell upon the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"I'm heading to the Cloud Mist Sect next, so I'm leaving this place to you," Chen Xuan said. "I'm giving you a task: rob human experts."
The trial card had limited uses, so Chen Xuan couldn't use it carelessly.
If he used it to rob human experts, it would quickly be depleted.
For long-term planning, he decided to save it as a life-saving measure for now.
"Why should I rob human experts?" the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked, puzzled.
"You just need to remember this: when you encounter human experts, ask them for gold coins and clean them out," Chen Xuan said with a solemn expression. "If you encounter someone you can't defeat, don't try to be brave. Protecting yourself is the most important thing."
Pausing, Chen Xuan continued, "As long as you can complete the task I've given you, I'll give you a Form Transformation Pill then."
"No problem, boss, you can rest assured!" Hearing Chen Xuan's words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes lit up.
With a Form Transformation Pill, it could advance to a seventh-tier Monster Beast, greatly increasing its strength.
For a Monster Beast, transformation wasn't the ultimate goal, but rather a way to continuously improve strength and extend lifespan.
Currently, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was in the transformation stage.
If it could have a Form Transformation Pill to assist it, it would save a lot of time.
After assigning the task, Chen Xuan had the Amethyst Winged Lion King send him to the outer perimeter of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Then, he left alone.
After leaving the Monster Beast Mountain Range, he headed towards the Jia Ma Empire.
His purpose for coming out this time was to go to the Cloud Mist Sect, the largest power in the Jia Ma Empire.
If he could enter the Cloud Mist Sect, he would be able to access the Combat Skills cultivated by human experts.
With Combat Skills, Chen Xuan would have an additional means of attack.
In the human world, an Alchemist is a respected profession. If I could become an Alchemist, that would be amazing.
Chen Xuan thought to himself.
Alchemists were the most popular in the human world.
This was because the Alchemist profession was rare, and the elixirs they refined could help human experts heal injuries and improve their strength.
The higher the level of an Alchemist, the more respected they were, and they were targets for recruitment by major powers.
Chen Xuan felt that selling elixirs was a good option.
Becoming an Alchemist and refining elixirs to sell could bring huge profits.
As long as he had gold coins, Chen Xuan could purchase items from the System Shop.
The System Shop not only had precious elixirs but also various high-level cultivation techniques and Combat Skills.
To purchase them, he would need to spend a lot of gold coins.
So, what Chen Xuan lacked most right now was money.
"System, do you have anything for sale that allows someone to gain alchemy abilities?" Chen Xuan asked, full of anticipation.
System: There are various levels of Alchemist talents. As long as you have enough gold coins, you can purchase them at any time.
As the System's voice faded, an interface appeared before Chen Xuan.
On the interface were Alchemist talents of various grades, clearly priced.
"Damn, that's too expensive!" Chen Xuan was extremely depressed.
A fifth-grade Alchemist talent cost ten million gold coins.
A sixth-grade Alchemist talent cost forty million gold coins.
A seventh-grade Alchemist talent cost sixty million gold coins.
The higher-grade Alchemist talents after that were astronomical figures.
"A third-grade Alchemist for one million gold coins… I'll take the third-grade one."
Gritting his teeth, Chen Xuan used the more than one million gold coins he had to purchase the third-grade Alchemist talent.
He believed that once he refined and sold elixirs in the future, he would quickly recoup his investment.
After purchasing the third-grade alchemy talent, he gained all the knowledge and abilities a third-grade Alchemist possessed in his mind.
He had been able to acquire one million gold coins by taking them from the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Some of the gold coins were even obtained by robbing human experts.
Now, after purchasing the third-grade Alchemist talent, his gold coins were almost entirely spent.
After leaving the Monster Beast Mountain Range, Chen Xuan traveled for some time and arrived at a small human town.
After spending one gold coin, he found out the location of the Cloud Mist Sect.
Hiring a carriage, he set off for the Cloud Mist Sect.
According to the information he received, the Cloud Mist Sect's annual new disciple recruitment assembly was two days away.
Many people would be going to the Cloud Mist Sect for the assessment then.
"I'm a one-star Dou Zhe right now, so passing the assessment shouldn't be a problem, right?" Chen Xuan muttered to himself, stroking his chin.
He didn't know the Cloud Mist Sect's disciple recruitment conditions yet.
As for whether he could pass the assessment, he would only find out once he got there.
After two days of travel, Chen Xuan finally arrived at the foot of the Cloud Mist Sect's mountain gate.
It was morning, and the assessment hadn't started yet, but a long line of people had already formed to participate.
All those participating in the assessment were under eighteen years old.
Chen Xuan waited for the assessment in the middle of the line.
At the front of the line, Cloud Mist Sect disciples were maintaining order.
As the people ahead finished their assessments, it would soon be Chen Xuan's turn.
Through the assessment results of those ahead, Chen Xuan already knew the Cloud Mist Sect's disciple recruitment conditions.
To pass the Cloud Mist Sect's assessment and become a disciple, one had to possess Dou Qi Power Stage Six before the age of eighteen.
If they couldn't reach it, they would simply have to go home.
Of course, there were exceptions.
For example, some younger children who showed outstanding cultivation talent could become Cloud Mist Sect disciples even if they hadn't reached Dou Qi Power Stage Six.
As for their treatment afterward, that depended on their individual abilities.
Just as Chen Xuan was waiting for his assessment, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen suddenly walked to the front and cut in line.
"How can you cut in line?" the boy in front of Chen Xuan angrily exclaimed.
Having waited in line for a long time, and seeing that it was almost his turn, anyone would be angry to be cut off.
The boy who cut in line was wearing an embroidered robe and looked like a disciple from a rich and powerful family.
Someone daring to object to him immediately made the robed boy unhappy.
He turned around and raised his hand, delivering a slap.
"Slap!"
The boy who was cut off received a slap to the face, and his cheek instantly turned red.
"This young master is from the Nalan Clan, and Nalan Yanran, the Cloud Mist Sect's number one genius disciple, is my cousin," Nalan Ye said arrogantly, "If you offend me, I'll make sure you regret it."
The boy was about to lash out, but upon learning that the person in front of him was a disciple of the Nalan Clan, he instantly lost his temper.
He could only obediently back down.
"I didn't expect him to be Nalan Yanran's cousin. If we enter the Cloud Mist Sect, we absolutely must not offend him."
"That's right. After all, he has the future sect leader of the Cloud Mist Sect looking out for him. We can't afford to offend him."
"Tsk tsk, I heard Nalan Yanran became a Cloud Mist Sect disciple at ten and already possesses one-star Dou Zhe strength at fourteen. Her talent is monstrous."
"Isn't that the truth? Otherwise, how could Nalan Yanran become the Cloud Mist Sect leader's direct disciple? A direct disciple! That's the future successor to the Cloud Mist Sect leader, a truly noble status."
Although the people behind Nalan Ye were very displeased, they dared not act out.
Because no one could afford to offend him.
Seeing the fearful expressions on everyone's faces, Nalan Ye was very pleased.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you," Nalan Ye snorted, his expression arrogant.
Everyone dared not meet his gaze and lowered their heads.
Chen Xuan, however, couldn't swallow this.
As Flat-headed Brother, how could he tolerate being cut off?
Being Flat-headed Brother meant looking at life and death with indifference, and if you're not convinced, you fight.
He walked behind Nalan Ye and kicked him.
"Ow!"
Attacked by surprise, Nalan Ye cried out in pain.
The powerful force sent him sprawling to the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a surge of satisfaction.
Someone dared to offend Nalan Ye; that really took guts.
