"Welco, Sect Leader!"
As these words fell, the entire arena suddenly erupted as if a pot had been stirred.
"Sect Leader?"
"Sect Leader!"
Everyone voiced their surprise and simultaneously craned their necks to look forward.
Chu Ning was equally slightly surprised at the mont.
Upon entering the sect, he had naturally heard so rumors about the Sect Leader.
It was said that Xin Wuya, Sect Leader of the Cyan Creek Sect, was an Alchemist Late Stage Cultivator, undoubtedly the strongest in the entire sect.
Even among the Sect Leaders of the Seven Major Sects in the Cyan Gorge Mountain Range, his prowess ranked among the top.
This contrasted with the Cyan Creek Sect’s overall strength ranking last among the Seven Major Sects.
However, like most people present in the arena, Chu Ning had only heard of him by na but never seen him in person.
In fact, after joining Cyan Creek Sect, he had seen quite a few Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, but he hadn’t seen a single Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
Gazing forward, Chu Ning soon saw a figure suddenly appear mid-air at the forefront of the arena.
This person had a middle-aged face, clad in a cyan Magic Robe, exuding a faint immortal aura that seed intricately connected with the heavens and earth.
His gaze was clear and peaceful, yet when people slightly raised their heads to look at him, each felt that the gaze was directly penetrating their hearts.
"Golden Core Powerhouse!"
Chu Ning felt a chill in his heart at this mont. The Sect Leader stood there motionless, yet his powerful aura was clearly perceived by everyone.
"Dear disciples." Xin Wuya’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
"I have gathered you here for a matter crucial to the fate of our sect.
This matter requires those in the Qi Refining Stage, those who practice the Wood Attribute Cultivation Technique, and you present here are the most suitable candidates."
Xin Wuya’s voice wasn’t loud, but in Chu Ning’s ears, it felt invigorating.
His heartbeat seed to synchronize with the rhythm of Xin Wuya’s words.
Chu Ning felt a chill in his heart but dared not make any movent.
"Participants in this task will be rewarded with an Interdiate Magical Artifact, various Spirit Pills and Spirit dicines.
If soone makes significant contributions during the task, they may directly be promoted to beco Inner Sect True Disciples and learn the Great Dao Secret Technique!"
Everyone, already sowhat excited by Xin Wuya’s words, now showed expressions of almost universal enthusiasm.
As a Qi Refining Stage Disciple, being able to contribute to the sect’s crucial matters was enough to excite many.
And now, Xin Wuya’s promises made almost everyone eager to partake.
"Elder Zhu, Elder Gui!"
As Xin Wuya’s voice subsided, two more figures appeared next to Xin Wuya.
One was a black-faced elder, and the other an elder wearing a red robe.
To everyone’s surprise, these two individuals standing with Xin Wuya exuded the sa compelling aura.
This allowed Chu Ning and others to easily recognize that these two were also Golden Core Stage Cultivators.
"Disciples above the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, please follow Elder Zhu first."
"Disciples at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, Elder Gui will take care of you."
After speaking, Xin Wuya smiled as he gazed at Chu Ning and the others below.
"You will be inford of the specific task once you arrive; this Sect Leader awaits your triumphant return within the sect!"
Accompanied by his words, the black-faced elder flew above the crowd, releasing a colossal flying boat nearly ten zhang in length.
The nearly three hundred disciples above the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining quickly boarded the flying boat.
This gigantic flying boat flashed and vanished, disappearing into the sky.
"Was it so fast I couldn’t see it, or was it instant teleportation?"
Chu Ning watched the gigantic flying boat suddenly disappear, his heart filled with shock.
"It’s often said that Golden Core Cultivators have the power to move mountains and seas, and it seems indeed true."
While Chu Ning pondered this, Sect Leader Xin Wuya’s figure had already vanished.
At this mont, in the arena, only Elder Gui wearing the red robe remained.
"You are rely at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, lacking in cultivation; the sect has specially refined a batch of elixirs to help enhance your strength. Once all are taken, find a place to cultivate.
In one day, you can break through to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining."
Elder Gui’s voice resounded in everyone’s ears, and with a flick of his sleeve, a handful of pills appeared in front of everyone.
"Realm-Breaking Pill!"
At this instant, within the range of the western area, several voices arose, filled with complex emotions.
Evidently, these Qi Refining Fifth Layer disciples weren’t entirely ignorant about this pill.
Upon hearing soone na this elixir, the expression on the remaining hundred or so people varied.
Apart from the very few who’ve never heard of this pill, the faces of the others showed either joy or surprise.
For people like Shang Zhaoxiang, all displayed expressions of delight.
As a Servant Disciple with low aptitude, he’d been stuck at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer for too long, and breaking through to the Sixth Layer seed out of reach.
Now with a Realm-Breaking Pill aiding his breakthrough, it was undoubtedly a source of great happiness for him.
Regarding the inability to advance further after this Realm-Breaking Pill, it was a matter of no concern for them.
In Zone D of the Spirit Plant Room, nurous individuals were permanently stuck at the Sixth or Fifth Layer of Qi Refining, to be exact, except for the batch able to advance to Zone C.
Others would mostly be stuck at these two realms.
Thus, almost without hesitation, Shang Zhaoxiang beside Chu Ning grabbed the pill before him and walked to another more spacious area to sit down and ditate.
Like Shang Zhaoxiang, there were over seventy others.
Compared to their decisiveness and extre joy, at this mont, Chu Ning looked at the pill in his hand with a complex expression.
The Realm-Breaking Pill, he had indeed heard of this elixir’s na.
What he never expected was that the sect, for the sake of completing that so-called task.
Would use such pills to forcibly elevate everyone’s realm, even if it ant severing the path for many disciples.
Chu Ning glanced around and noticed that among those present, nearly thirty people had sowhat complex expressions.
Except for one or two who appeared slightly confused, likely unaware of the pill’s effects.
The others clearly exhibited hesitation or even doubt.
And these people were either directly Outer Disciples or young Servant Disciples from Zone C of the Spirit Plant Room.
While everyone hesitated, Elder Gui’s figure flashed and stood in their midst.
Imdiately, an intense pressure enveloped everyone.
"Why haven’t you taken the pill? Are you worried that your realm cannot advance in the future?"
Elder Gui’s calm voice ca forth.
"Rest assured, although this pill resembles the Realm-Breaking Pill, it is a sect-improved secret elixir.
While it does indeed affect future cultivation advancent, it is only for one year.
Within this year, your cultivation cannot advance to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining; beyond this period, it won’t be affected."
Upon hearing Elder Gui’s words, the hesitation and doubt on the majority of faces gradually dissipated.
"Go ahead and take it!"
At this mont, Elder Gui spoke once more.
With the explanation from the Golden Core Elder and under such pressure, most people couldn’t help but swallow the pill.
Elder Gui nodded with satisfaction, then glanced around, his gaze settling on Chu Ning.
"Why haven’t you taken it?"
