You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"I'll wait for you. Okay, I'll wait for you at the outer gate." Chen Huai'an looked at Liu Qiaogui with a smile.

"Sigh, it's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy." Liu Qiaogui felt utterly dejected after hearing Chen Huai'an's words.

Chen Huai'an's cultivation level is there, and it's believed that he will be able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm soon, while he has only reached the peak of the sixth level of the mid-stage Body Refining Realm and has not yet been able to break through to the late stage of the Body Refining Realm.

"Oh, by the way, although you and that Su Wanying have broken off your engagement, I know that many people have been trying to find out about you while you were away from the sect. These people, their tone and expressions were unfriendly, as if they were here to cause you trouble. So you have to be careful when you walk around the sect in the future." Liu Qiaogui remembered something and gave Chen Huai'an some advice.

Chen Huai'an nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you, I will pay attention. What about you? You should also seize the time to cultivate and break through to the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible, so that we can meet again in the outer sect."

Even without Liu Qiaogui's deliberate reminders, he knew that Su Wanying's suitors would definitely cause him trouble.

If these people come looking for trouble, given Chen Huai'an's current status and position, he simply cannot resist them and will be in a very passive position. However, if he becomes an outer disciple, he will have a certain status and position and will receive the sect's protection.

At least on the surface, these people wouldn't be too blatant if they wanted to take action against him.

Otherwise, if these people beat him to death in public, he would really have nowhere to seek justice.

This world is a dog-eat-dog world.

The weak have no voice.

Before reaching the Qi Refining Realm, one is a lamb to the slaughter; even if one breaks through to the Qi Refining Realm, those high and mighty Foundation Establishment Realm experts can kill him with a single word.

If you don't want your destiny to be controlled by others, there is only one way: to continuously cultivate on the path to immortality, break through your limits, and become stronger.

Chen Huai'an did not linger on Zayi Peak.

Now that he has severed ties with Su Wanying, he has no more attachments. All he needs to do is continue cultivating and becoming stronger. Once he becomes a formal outer disciple, he wants to take on an expedition so he can go back to Huai Shu Village to take a look.

After parting ways with Liu Qiaogui, Chen Huai'an used the Myriad Forms Bone-Changing Technique to simply change his appearance. He wanted to see what the current situation was like at the Miscellaneous Service Peak.

When Chen Huai'an went to the canteen to inquire about news, what he heard most was the gossip among the disciples about him, a good-for-nothing who was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

With his mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, anyone could mock him; these people all wanted to climb over him to get ahead.

In particular, many people are saying that he was able to break through to the eighth level of the late stage of Body Refinement thanks to his fiancée, Su Wanying.

Chen Huai'an scoffed at this. He had never enjoyed any convenience or benefit from Su Wanying. On the contrary, he was targeted by the Su family, who tripped him up and tried to kill him.

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Chen Huai'an realized what was going on.

It's still because his aptitude is too poor. He has mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, making him the worst of the worst. Without Su Wanying's support, it would have been impossible for him to have such a fast cultivation speed.

However, this wasn't entirely without its advantages. At the very least, he now possessed a large amount of cultivation resources, which provided him with a pretext, saving him the trouble of explaining.

But this also makes it less likely for some petty thieves to target them.

In front of a mountain peak outside the Qingyun Sect, Liang Bin looked at several menial disciples in front of him who were at the ninth level of the late stage of Body Refinement.

"What did you say? Chen Huai'an has disappeared! Where could he have gone? He's just a menial disciple. If he's not staying on the Menial Disciple Peak, where could he have gone?" Liang Bin was really angry and furious.

"You bunch of useless good-for-nothings! You can't even handle this little thing. What use are you to me? Get your ass to it and go find it for me right now!"

Chen Huai'an didn't accept any sect missions or go out; he would definitely stay in the sect. As long as Chen Huai'an stayed in the sect, crushing this guy would be as easy as crushing an ant. But this guy actually appeared for only one day and then disappeared.

What Liang Bin and his group didn't know was that while they were searching all over the Miscellaneous Peak for Chen Huai'an, hoping to suppress and kill him, little did they know that the Chen Huai'an they were looking for had already quietly arrived at the outer gate.

Now, Chen Huai'an has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm. As long as he registers at the Outer Sect Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, he will be able to become an outer sect disciple.

Many disciples on the Spirit Ranking of Miscellaneous Peaks are unwilling to enter the outer sect after breaking through to the Qi Refining Realm. It's not that they don't want to enter, but that if they stay on the Spirit Ranking for just one more month, the cultivation resources they obtain are more than those of an ordinary outer sect disciple at the Qi Refining Realm.

Therefore, after the Spirit Ranking was released, many of the miscellaneous disciples who had broken through to the Qi Refining Realm did not want to enter the outer sect, just so they could receive more cultivation resources for a few more months. They would only be forced to enter the outer sect when the next Spirit Ranking Challenge began.

This was a routine and common practice for the menial disciples of the Qingyun Sect, allowing them to maximize their benefits.

If Chen Huai'an hadn't had the purple gourd space to provide him with those high-quality cultivation resources, he would have just been like those menial disciples, standing on the list unwilling to move, just to receive a little more cultivation resources each month.

But Chen Huai'an is different. Although he is currently a menial disciple, he has more cultivation resources than any ordinary outer disciple, so he went directly to register at the outer sect.

"What did you say? You want to register as an outer disciple? Your cultivation has broken through to the Qi Refining Realm?" A steward disciple from the Outer Sect Miscellaneous Affairs Hall frowned when he saw Chen Huai'an come to register as an outer disciple.

"Senior brother, I have broken through to the Qi Refining Realm and have been ordered to register as an outer disciple of the sect." Chen Huai'an addressed the other party with neither humility nor arrogance.

"Oh, okay, give me your identity token. Also, test your cultivation and aptitude on the testing stone in front of you. As long as your cultivation meets the standard, you can officially register as an outer disciple of the sect and enjoy the benefits of an outer disciple." This disciple didn't understand why Chen Huai'an would register as an outer disciple at this time, but since Chen Huai'an had come to register, he still had to explain things clearly to him.

The Spirit Ranking Challenge hadn't ended long. If Chen Huai'an truly broke through to the Qi Refining Realm, with his Qi Refining cultivation, he would absolutely sweep aside all opponents on the entire Spirit Ranking and ascend to the top. The cultivation resources he would then obtain would be far greater than those he would have gained as an outer disciple.

"Senior brother, how can I test my cultivation level to prove whether I have broken through to the Qi Refining Realm?" Chen Huai'an looked at the other party with some confusion. He had already withdrawn the Nameless Concealing Breath Technique. As long as the other party used his divine sense to check, he would naturally be able to verify that his current cultivation level was at the Qi Refining Realm. However, the other party did not do so.

"There's a testing stone ahead. Just place your hand on it and circulate your cultivation technique. It will not only test whether you've broken through to the Qi Refining realm, but also your spiritual root talent and aptitude. Based on your aptitude, you'll be recommended to the appropriate Foundation Establishment realm steward or elder as a disciple." The young disciple didn't look down on Chen Huai'an; instead, he explained with a smile.

When you join a sect, your spiritual root aptitude is tested, and then it's tested again when you break through to the Qi Refining Realm, all to avoid making mistakes.

Although the probability of this is extremely small, in order to avoid misleading students, their cultivation level and aptitude are always tested when registering to enter the outer sect.

Without wasting any words, Chen Huai'an placed his hand on the dark, unremarkable rock and began to circulate his Five Elements Qi Refining Technique.
