"Oh, little guy, we et again, eh?"
"It’s Elder Yang!"
Ling Xiao had absolutely not expected to run into the old man who had been guarding the Sealing Gods Record at the Pharmacy Hall, and of course, his dog as well.
The dog still lay lazily on the table, sleeping. It only glanced at Ling Xiao’s arrival before disregarding him altogether.
"Hahaha, we really are fated to et."
Elder Yang laughed heartily.
Ling Xiao hurriedly said, "Elder, I beg of you, please help look at Senior Brother Wu’s condition."
"Heh heh, ordinary people indeed cannot trouble this old man, but since you ca, I will personally diagnose him."
What Elder Yang was saying was definitely not a boast; he was the Hall Master of the Pharmacy Hall. Usually, when injured patients were brought in, even if they were Inner Sect Disciples, he would leave them to the pharmacologists under him to handle and he rarely intervened.
Even the higher-ups of the Moon Hua Sect could not easily request his aid.
Although his cultivation level was not exceptionally strong, as a Pharmacologist, and a very high-level one at that, he was virtually a specially protected entity of the Moon Hua Sect.
Including the Sect Leader himself, nobody dared to offend him lightly, for after all, there were too many masters who owed him favors. To lay a hand on him would be to put oneself in a situation akin to a rat crossing the street.
Such a significant figure was actually willing to give face to Ling Xiao.
In the end, it was because he had taken a liking to Ling Xiao’s talent and wanted to take him as a disciple. Otherwise, for just a minor Outer Disciple like Ling Xiao, it wouldn’t be worth it at all.
"Mmm, it’s not a big problem, mainly due to overexertion and having been beaten by others, that’s why he’s like this. I will prescribe so dicine for him and that should be enough."
After a thorough diagnosis, Elder Yang said, "This child seems to be working in the mines. The Sect needs a large amount of iron ore for forging weapons, but this kind of work should have already been assigned to the ordinary people in the secular world. How co he, an Outer Disciple, is still doing this?"
Ling Xiao glanced at Wu Xiang, who had already fallen asleep, feeling sowhat annoyed.
This was clearly soone deliberately making life difficult for Wu Xiang.
"Thank you very much, Elder."
"No need for such courtesy. As for the favor I asked of you, have you thought it over? If you really don’t want to beco my disciple, working at the Pharmacy Hall is also fine. After all, the work assignnts for the new beginner Outer Disciples should be announced today."
Elder Yang spoke with a smile.
"Alright, Elder, you’ve said so much, if I don’t give you face now, that would be quite too much."
Ling Xiao simply nodded in agreent.
He had thought it over. Although Elder Yang’s strength might not match that of Demonfla Celestial, his status was definitely higher than that of Demonfla Celestial, a newly advanced Heavenly Man Realm Elder.
Moreover, to quickly improve one’s strength, one inevitably needed dicinal materials.
Working at the Pharmacy Hall was a very good option for him.
Besides, considering Wu Xiang’s situation, and having already offended Hei Suo, he might be assigned an even more arduous job, which would be unfortunate.
"Hahaha, excellent! Later, when the steward who assigns tasks to the Outer Sect arrives, if he gives you your assignnt, just tell him that you’ve already arranged with . He definitely won’t dare to object," Elder Yang laughed heartily.
"Understood, then may I take Senior Brother Wu and leave now?"
"Mmm, rember to ensure he takes his dicine on schedule. And if possible, try to avoid doing that kind of taxing work anymore. It’s too grueling and it delays cultivation ti," Elder Yang reminded.
Ling Xiao nodded, then took the dicine, paid the silver, and carried Wu Xiang back.
Because these were just common dicinal materials, silver was sufficient for paynt.
The Moon Hua Sect also needed large amounts of silver and gold to pay the common workers, they couldn’t let their own disciples do too nial tasks. Mainly due to a lack of manpower and because it was such a waste of cultivation ti.
"You’ve worked hard, Junior Brother Ling."
Wu Xiang, back in the stone house, had already woken up.
"Worked hard? What are you talking about, Senior Brother? What exactly happened to you, were you beaten by soone?"
Wu Xiang remained silent.
"Senior Brother, just say it, there’s truly no one among the Outer Disciples that inspires fear in , Ling Xiao, my current goal is the Inner Sect!"
Ling Xiao was neither arrogant nor conceited; for him, advancing to the Martial Pulse Ninth Level would soon be achievable.
At that point, below the Transcendent Realm, he was fundantally unafraid of anyone.
What half-step grandmaster?
What he cared about more were those true Transcendent masters!
"Spoken like a true man!"
Zhao Zhi suddenly ca in from outside, clapping his hands, "The Outer Sect is nothing but a bunch of underlings. Our sights should indeed be set on the Inner Sect—that’s where the real geniuses gather. The likes of Ming Tian, Leng Hao and others are not in short supply there."
"Have you co back to receive your work assignnt?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"No, that’s not it. I’ve already found my job. I ca back just to pack up so things and then move into the Equipnt Hall,"
Zhao Zhi explained, "How about it, Ling Xiao? Join . You’ve offended Tian Chao, and the work you’ll be assigned definitely won’t be pleasant."
"Thanks for the kind offer, Second Imperial Prince, but I truly don’t need it."
Ling Xiao replied with a smile.
"In that case, there’s nothing I can do. But let remind you, the one who injured Wu Xiang is Yang Cheng, ranked tenth among the Outer Disciples. His strength is formidable, standing out even among the half-step grandmasters—a fact evident from his ranking. Don’t go sticking your neck out for irrelevant people; it won’t end well for you."
After saying this, Zhao Zhi went off to pack his belongings.
"Yang Cheng!"
Ling Xiao quietly muttered the na to himself.
"Ling Xiao, it’s ti to receive your assignnt. Hurry to the square and gather!"
A familiar disciple outside shouted.
Ever since defeating Tian Chao, Ling Xiao had beco hugely popular among the newly initiated disciples; everyone wanted to establish a good rapport with him.
"Got it!"
Hearing the shout from outside, Ling Xiao answered, then told Wu Xiang to rest before he stood up and walked out.
In the square, the majority of the newly initiated Outer Disciples had already assembled, including a few who had already obtained their jobs and had co to watch the excitent.
By the ti Ling Xiao arrived, Zhao Zhi had followed as well.
"It’s said that the top thirty ranked Outer Disciples will be here today, though it’s not certain how many will show up. Everyone’s eager to see."
Zhao Zhi said to Ling Xiao with a smile.
His words were clearly a reminder.
That Yang Cheng was the tenth-ranked Outer Disciple.
"Here they co, actually three of them at once!"
In the eyes of the new Outer Disciples, the top thirty were like legends, as these were the standouts among more than a thousand people, each one a half-step grandmaster in their own right.
Thus, when soone appeared, they all beca excited.
Ling Xiao followed the gaze of the crowd.
Indeed, there were three people.
All of whom were unfamiliar faces.
"Yang Cheng actually ca, and so did Li Anle, ranked twenty-sixth, and even Jin Ming, ranked third,"
Zhao Zhi seed to be well-acquainted with the Moon Hua Sect’s Outer Sect, quickly identifying the three individuals by na.
Being the Second Imperial Prince of the Royal Family, his intelligence work was comndable.
One couldn’t help but admire him.
