“Hey, did you hear that someone spent five hundred thousand spirit stones to enter Tai Qing Sect?”

“Tai Qing Sect? What is that? I’ve never heard of it.”

“It’s a new sect that was established half a month ago. The sect master is both good-looking and powerful. She hosts a banquet at Zui Xian Inn to accept disciples today. Fifty spirit stones is the entry condition.”

“Five hundred thousand spirit stones? Are you sure? Which cash cow is this? I’m afraid that he can even get into a high-level sect with this price.”

“That’s right. Who knows what these rich people are thinking?”

Soon, the news about the five hundred thousand spirit stones spread throughout the entire Qingcheng, and everyone in the streets was talking about it.

Ye Xuan was even more careful when he went out, for fear of being recognized. After all, it wasn’t a good thing to be too famous.

When Han Yue met Ye Xuan again, she frowned slightly. She felt that he had changed a little, but she couldn’t tell what exactly it was.

“Didn’t you have a crippled spirit root before? Why is it that the spirit root is gone now?”

Han Yue was shocked. She used her divine sense to confirm repeatedly and was sure that Ye Xuan’s spirit root had disappeared.

Ye Xuan only felt a cold aura surrounding him. He wasn’t worried that Han Yue would see anything wrong. The jade pendant that covered his aura could also cover the existence of acupoints in his body.

If people were to find out that he had opened up so many acupoints, it would definitely set off a turmoil in the entire continent, or it would be the scheme of other people with ulterior motives. He didn’t want to get into any unnecessary trouble.

“I wanted to improve my strength previously, so I ate a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures and elixirs. But I don’t know how I became like this.”

Ye Xuan revealed a distressed expression and told her the excuse that he had prepared.

There were actually a person who ate random things and lost his spirit roots. Han Yue had first learned about this. But there were more rare things than this in the upper realm, so she was not surprised.

“Forget it. If you don’t have it, then so be it. At most, I’ll just create a new spirit root for you in the future.”

Han Yue said it lightly, but she had forgotten that this was the lower realm. Creating the spirit root was not something that ordinary people could easily do.

So far, Ye Xuan had never heard of anything about creating spirit roots. Besides, Han Yue’s reaction to his lack of spirit roots was too calm. Her identity must not be simple.

Ye Xuan didn’t reveal her, “Thank you, sect master.”

“However, I’m afraid it’ll be a little difficult for you to become the sect master since you don’t have a spirit root.”

In any case, Ye Xuan’s ambition wasn’t to become a sect master. He spent the money only to complete the mission, so he deliberately said that before this. After all, it was too troublesome to be the sect master, as he had to manage the entire sect.

“I’m not interested in the position of sect master. I’ll just be an idle elder.”

Han Yue was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that this man would spend so many spirit stones just for the position of an idle elder. She was more pleased with this kind of person who spent money quickly and was sensible.

“Alright, I’ll bring you to meet the other people in the sect. We’ll also go and choose a spiritual mountain today to officially establish the sect. You’re also considered a senior figure in our Tai Qing Sect.”

Ye Xuan was a little speechless.

It turned out that the sect had not even been established yet, and it was just an empty name. Han Yue was actually empty-handed in Zui Xian Inn.

For a moment, he felt as if he had been led astray.

Han Yue seemed to have read his mind, “Although our sect has not been officially established, we still have what we should have. You’ll know later.”

Ye Xuan looked at the row of more than 20 people in front of him with a skeptical attitude, and an unlikely guess appeared in his heart.

“Don’t tell me…”

“These are the elders of our Tai Qing Sect. Come and meet them.”

It was really as he thought! Did this group of people all pay spirit stones to enter? He thought of Han Yue’s disciple recruitment banquet at Zui Xian Inn, although he was the only one who handed over the spirit stones in the end.

However, just this one person was already comparable to thousands.

He had already obtained five hundred thousand spirit stones. Why would Han Yue care about a few hundred or a few thousand? Therefore, Han Yue didn’t stay any longer. Anyway, Ye Xuan alone was enough for her capital.

Seeing that Han Yue had led others in person, everyone couldn’t help but feel a sense of danger.

Their eyes landed on Ye Xuan like a radar and found that he was only at level 2 of Human Realm. Their expressions suddenly changed, and even their eyes were filled with inexplicable sarcasm.

It seemed like he had also spent a large amount of spirit stones.

Who would have thought that Han Yue’s words would make everyone dumbfounded? “From now on, Ye Xuan will be the person with the second highest status in Tai Qing Sect after me.”

The others couldn’t stand still anymore. All of them had a higher cultivation level than Ye Xuan.

Now, a level 2 Human Realm cultivator had climbed to the top, and he was just a kid. Originally, Great Elder Shen Hai was the most likely candidate to inherit the position of the sect master.

Ye Xuan’s arrival not only threatened his position, but also weakened his power. Shen Hai’s eyes darkened. He would never allow this to happen.

However, he was a scheming person. Even if he was dissatisfied, he would not say it out loud. He turned his eyes and immediately looked at the eighteenth elder.

He was an extremely young man with a jade-like face. He looked extraordinarily handsome, and his eyes were fixed on Han Yue as if he had lost his soul.

He was wearing a purple and gold robe, and even the hidden pattern on his chest was mixed with gold thread. There were embroidered patterns of auspicious clouds and dragons, and also a jade pendant at his waist. Any one of them was a good magic weapon, enough to show that his family background was extraordinary.

The eighteenth elder was the only child of the Xie clan. His family background was indeed not bad. He had also relied on donating a sum of spirit stones to become an elder. However, he had other intentions in becoming an elder.

When he first saw Han Yue, he was so shocked that he wanted to pursue her, hoping that she could become his dual cultivation partner.
