At this point, more than a month had passed since Ma Ke returned from the Chanyuan Secret Realm.

Although he was protected by Foundation Establishment disciples, and no one in the outer sect dared to offend him, and even some people tried to curry favor with him from time to time, Ma Ke was not complacent at all and remained as low-key as ever.

Even during cultivation, he dared not use the "Open Source Limitless Skill," and he dared not take out the storage bag hidden in his stomach.

Therefore, Ma Ke possessed a wealth of treasures, but dared not use them lightly.

That day, Hong Yuan came to curry favor again and told Ma Ke some news: Chen Yan had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and had officially applied to enter the inner sect today.

"I'm sure it won't be long before Junior Brother Ma breaks through, so I'll address him as Senior Brother Ma in advance," Hong Yuan said flatteringly.

Because Chen Yan, like Ma Ke, was an outer disciple who had recently entered the Chanyuan Secret Realm.

Moreover, when Chen Yan entered, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining. After returning alive, he broke through the second level in just two months and successfully became an inner disciple.

I heard that he had some good fortune inside and ate a spiritual fruit.

It is evident that although the Chanyuan Secret Realm is dangerous, it also offers considerable opportunities, as Chen Yan is not the only one who has successfully entered the inner sect during this period.

When Ma Ke entered, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining. Although his aptitude and opportunities were somewhat lacking, Hong Yuan believed that Ma Ke would eventually become an inner disciple.

After all, this kid has managed to get close to a Foundation Establishment stage senior sister; even a little bit of resources she might leak would be enough to help him succeed.

Ma Ke already knew that if he raised his cultivation to the fourth level of Qi Refining at the right time, it shouldn't arouse any suspicion.

Because he already had a Spirit Condensation Pill given to him by the Golden Core cultivator Su Wanhe, which continuously helped him condense fire-attribute true qi, and he could also claim, like the other disciples who entered the inner sect, that he had obtained some opportunities in the secret realm and eaten spiritual fruits, ginseng and the like, which was perfectly plausible.

However, he was still not in a hurry, because he wanted to know how the sect would treat these newly entered inner disciples.

Through months of analysis, he has basically concluded that although the Ziyang Sect is promoting the "Open Source Limitless Skill" that it has spread within the sect, it must have also used some means to completely block it to ensure that this skill will not spread to other sects.

In that case, Ma Ke would not dare to easily enter the inner sect. If they then put a restriction on him to prevent the spread of "Open Source Limitless Skill", wouldn't this supreme skill be largely wasted?

But he also wanted to enter the inner sect, because once he entered the inner sect, he would have much more freedom and could travel far and wide outside the sect, instead of being trapped in the outer sect and not daring to use all his treasures.

So, for the next period of time, he secretly kept an eye on these newly entered inner disciples, not just those like Chen Yan who had entered the secret realm.

Before they knew it, half a year had passed. None of these disciples had ever practiced the "Open Source Limitless Skill," and they could freely enter and leave the sect.

Therefore, Ma Ke deduced that the Ziyang Sect would no longer easily provide cultivation techniques to newly recruited disciples. Since he had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and entered the inner sect, he should not be granted this cultivation technique, and naturally, he would not need to be subject to any restrictions.

He was just a little worried about Su Wanhe, afraid that this uncle who had some connection with him might kindly get him a copy, which would be awkward.

However, thinking about it, this possibility is unlikely. After all, this cultivation technique is of great importance to the Ziyang Sect, and I don't have a deep relationship with Su Wanhe. She wouldn't go out of her way to get this cultivation technique for me.

Otherwise, if Xue Wenzhou had put her on the list of those in the secret realm, she would have done everything in her power to salvage the situation and get herself out in time.

But she didn't do that; she only dealt with Lü Xiu because of the relationship between them, which wasn't nearly that serious.

Since that was the case, Ma Ke felt that he could break through, so he naturally reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Amidst the compliments of Hong Yuan and others, Ma Ke entered the Inner Sect's Ancestral Records Hall.

After verifying their identity, confirming their spiritual root and cultivation level, they received a jade token representing their status as an inner disciple, along with clothing and a storage bag. They then chose a cultivation cave and went to the Soul Hall to light their own Soul Lamp.

After completing this process, Ma Ke officially became an inner disciple.

According to the agreement Su Wanhe made, Ma Ke could go directly to her, and she would make an exception and allow him to enter Cuizhu Peak for cultivation.

However, Ma Ke did not intend to do so, because his purpose in entering the inner sect was to leave the Ziyang Sect, and he did not want to be trapped on any peak and expose his true colors.

Before that, he first came to Wenyuan Pavilion, which is the library of the Ziyang Sect, a place that collects geography, classics, miscellaneous records, and chronicles of major events over the years.

Since it does not involve any cultivation techniques, it does not require any contribution points, and inner disciples can freely view and copy it.

Since transmigrating, Ma Ke has learned very little about this world due to his identity, and he urgently needs to supplement his knowledge in this area.

So for the next two weeks or so, he was almost always confined to the library, gradually gaining a relatively complete understanding of the world.

"It's time to leave the Ziyang Sect." Ma Ke thought to himself as he copied the content he hadn't finished reading.

Of course, when he said he was leaving, he didn't mean leaving the sect, but rather going out into the world.

Because he has too many secrets, staying in the sect to cultivate would easily expose them.

Moreover, since he doesn't rely on the sect's resources to improve his cultivation, traveling outside is the best option.

Moreover, I wonder if the "Opening Limitless Technique" can completely cover up the soul-chasing secret technique of the Golden Core cultivator from the Giant Sword Pavilion that is on my body. In order to prevent any hidden dangers, it would be best to find a way to remove it.

However, this matter could not be known to the Ziyang Sect, so they could only find a solution in private.

For these reasons, Ma Ke believed that leaving the Ziyang Sect was the best option, even though there were certain risks involved in going outside.

This decision was made long ago, and now that it was almost time, they arrived at the External Affairs Hall, where sect disciples received their missions.

These tasks can be issued by the sect or offered as rewards by the disciples.

Ma Ke chose a quest to find the Wind and Thunder Grass posted by a mid-Foundation Establishment senior brother, because the quest had no limit on the number of people who could accept it and had a long time span, which was perfect for him who wanted to stay away from home for an extended period of time.

After successfully accepting the mission, Ma Ke originally wanted to send a message to Xia Muling to let her know, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

He was worried that the other party would try to dissuade him, thus affecting his travel plans.

Without further hesitation, they quickly left the sect, took out the basic spirit boat they had bought with the ten mid-grade spirit stones that the sect had rewarded them with, and flew straight towards the northeast.
