The Lingxiao Immortal Sect has been established for many years and has its own rules and system.

The menial laborers are simply contributing themselves in exchange for resources. The sect has no intention of training them and focuses on fair trade.

The outer disciples are different. Once they advance to the Qi Refining stage, whether they stay behind or are sent out, they are essentially being trained as disciples.

The purpose of assigning tasks is to provide opportunities to acquire cultivation resources, not to find outer disciples to work for. The main goal is to cultivate future talents.

That's why Steward Zhu Huang asked Chen He about his choice. Staying on the Miscellaneous Service Peak offered more freedom, essentially allowing him to cultivate on his own while receiving more extensive training from the sect.

Learning a skill is the beginning of training professionals, whether they are alchemists, formation masters, or weapon refiners.

This is a meticulous training program offered by the sect, but cultivators still need to make their own choices and bear the risks themselves; the sect is merely providing the opportunity.

Inner disciples, on the other hand, are given special training and future plans based on their spiritual roots and cultivation styles.

There is a world of difference between menial servants, outer disciples, and inner disciples.

indoor.

Chen He sat to the left of Steward Zhu Huang, took out a bottle of pills, considered for a moment, and said, "Reporting to Steward, this disciple knows how to refine pills. This is a Cleansing Pill that I have refined."

"Oh?" Deacon Zhu Huang was greatly surprised. It was already quite remarkable that someone with a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements could break through to the Qi Refining and Meridian Opening stage in five years.

He can even refine pills now? Is this still a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements? What kind of opportunity could allow a pseudo-spiritual root of the Five Elements to reach this level?

With a hint of skepticism, Deacon Zhu Huang picked up the Cleansing Pill from the medicine bottle. With just a sweep of his divine sense, he could tell that the pill was extraordinary.

"The medicinal properties are pure, the elixir is pristine, almost without any impurities; it can be described as flawless." Deacon Zhu Huang took a deep breath. "Did you really refine this? You're not lying to me?"

"If you don't believe me, I can refine it on the spot," Chen He said solemnly.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I find it hard to believe." Deacon Zhu Huang looked at the pill in his hand again and again, and asked, "What cultivation method do you practice? Could you tell me?"

"It's the 'Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture'," Chen He told him without hesitation, "and I've already mastered the Fire Spirit Technique."

"I see," Deacon Zhu Huang exclaimed. "This is the inheritance of the Five Elders Peak, following the complete path of the Five Elements. Its exclusive spell is the Five Elements Spirit Communication Technique. Your mastery of the Fire Spirit Technique will indeed benefit your alchemy, but the alchemy method is not simple either."

"Yes," Chen He admitted.

"In that case, you should go to the Five Elements Mountain, which belongs to the Five Elders Peak," Deacon Zhu Huang smiled. "The Five Elements Mountain is located in the outer sect and is among the middle and upper reaches of the many peaks in the outer sect."

"This disciple does not understand," Chen He frowned.

"There is no Pill Hall in the outer sect," explained Steward Zhu Huang. "Only the inner sect has a Pill Refining Peak. Only inner sect disciples can enter, and they must be able to refine second-grade high-level pills. Many peaks in the outer sect have alchemists."

In other words, alchemists in the outer sect of Lingxiao Immortal Sect, whether they are first-level or second-level, do not have their own dedicated alchemy peaks or halls.

They can only go to the mountain peak where their own cultivation method is located, and they must join the outer sect mountain peak, where they are divided into factions based on their cultivation method.

Chen He's cultivation of the "Five Elements Returning to Origin Divine Scripture" belongs to the Five Elders Peak of the Inner Sect. If he wants to become an alchemist and obtain sect certification, he must go to the Five Elements Mountain of the Outer Sect.

This mountain is the outer peak of the Five Elders Peak, specifically for cultivating exclusive talents for the Five Elders Peak. The outer disciples here all cultivate the "Five Elements Returning to Origin Divine Scripture". When their cultivation breaks through and they are promoted to the inner sect, they will directly belong to the Five Elders Peak.

Fate is determined from the very first time you choose a cultivation method to begin your foundation building.

"Once you can refine high-grade second-tier pills, which are pills usable by those at the seventh level of Qi Refining, you can go to the inner sect to participate in the alchemist assessment. At that time, you can register your name in the Pill Hall and obtain the sect's certification as an alchemist."

Deacon Zhu Huang patiently explained, "Now, you only have the option to go to Five Elements Mountain. If you don't join, even if you can continue to cultivate the Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture, you will face many difficulties."

The Five Elements Return to Origin Divine Scripture is the fundamental inheritance of the Five Elders Peak. Once Chen He cultivates it, he will naturally be marked with its mark.

Having cultivated to the point of Qi Refining and Meridian Opening, he could not change his fundamental cultivation method and could only continue down this path. Joining the Five Elders Peak was the best option for him.

Otherwise, other peaks or lineages would not accept him, and without the protection of inner sect peaks, his future path within the sect would be very narrow, and he might not even be able to go far.

This was different from what Chen He had expected. He had thought that after the jade tablet was consecrated, the choice of cultivation method was a freedom granted by the sect.

Unexpectedly, it was still a selection process arranged by the sect, and the mountain inheritance corresponding to the cultivation method was also the place to go after advancing to Qi Refining.

What was even more unexpected was that the outer gate of the Lingxiao Immortal Sect, though seemingly loose, was actually governed by strict rules.

Moreover, whether they are first- or second-tier alchemists or weapon refiners, their mountain peaks and halls are all within the inner sect. The alchemists and weapon refiners seen by the outer sect are all backed by the mountain peak to which their respective cultivation methods belong, and are not free individuals.

"Have you thought it through?" Zhu Huang asked.

"It seems this disciple has no choice," Chen He nodded silently, "I am willing to go to Five Elements Mountain."

"Very good," Zhu Huang picked up the jade tablet. "Since you can refine a first-level cleansing pill, then you are a senior first-level alchemist. The task assigned to you is alchemy."

He used his authority as a steward to assign tasks to Chen He, and first relieved him of his duties as the manager of the spiritual herbs at Qingniu Mountain.

After Zhu Huang made the arrangements, Chen He also saw the relevant task information on the jade tablet, which was directly assigned.

The fact that he doesn't need to take the call again means that things are unlikely to change, and he has to report to Wuxing Mountain.

Chen He put away the jade tablet, bowed to Deacon Zhu Huang as a disciple, and then took his leave.

The moment he left the room, Chen He teleported to the entrance of the Hall of Deacons. Holding the jade tablet, he quickly left, riding a celestial bird across the plaza out of the Hall of Deacons Peak, heading directly to the Five Elements Mountain.

After Chen He left, Zhu Huang straightened his robes, took the jade tablet, and went directly to the back of the hall of affairs to see the elder.

The elder, still veiled and his face obscured, chuckled softly upon hearing Zhu Huang's report, "He is truly blessed. Do you know what kind of opportunity he received?"

"I don't know," Zhu Huang shook his head.

"It's the Penglai Token," the elder said. "I found that his jade tablet recorded a void mark, which confirms that he obtained the Penglai Token and gained an opportunity in the market of Penglai Heaven."

The elder's jade tablet has higher authority than even that of Steward Zhu Huang, and can access some of Chen He's secret information at any time.

Chen He was unaware of this matter, and even the inner disciples were unaware of it; only the elders and deacons had the authority to know.

"This..." Deacon Zhu Huang said in surprise, "Didn't someone from our immortal sect obtain the Penglai Token? If I remember correctly, it was a disciple from the Xuan Shuang Peak of the inner sect, and from the same cohort."

"Who can stipulate that only one person from a family can obtain the Penglai Token?" The elder shook his head. "Besides, our Immortal Sect is full of talented people, so it's normal for two disciples to obtain the Penglai Token."

"So what should we do now?" he asked.

"You don't need to do anything, just keep an eye on things secretly," the elder said. "I will inform the Five Elders Peak. The sect doesn't have a clear stance on the Penglai Token matter yet, so it must be kept secret both internally and externally."

"Understood." Deacon Zhu Huang nodded, promising not to reveal the matter.

In reality, the Penglai Token did not cause a major stir within the sect; it was simply that some people wanted to find its exact location and make contact with Xuan Shuang Peak.

Ultimately, it didn't work out, and Xuan Shuang Peak forbade any further contact with the disciples. If Chen He's Penglai Token were exposed, there would likely be some trouble.
