Very soon, everyone stood up and looked at the group of people in front of the mountain gate, especially the white palanquin in the middle.

A beautiful figure flew out. She wore snow-white clothes, and her clothes fluttered in the wind. She looked like a fairy from a painting. Just her figure was enough to cause people to daydream about her.

The Sect Leader, Nangong Ling, who was standing in front of him, was slightly stunned when he saw that beautiful figure. His eyes stared blankly at her as she landed before him. He bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader."

Nangong Ling quietly stood there and received her bow. Although there was a huge difference in status between the two of them, they still needed basic etiquette. After all, she was currently in their sect and wanted to learn.

Nangong Ling raised his hand and supported him. "There's no need to be overly courteous. Come, let's inspect the Spiritual Pulse first."

Nangong Ling waved his hand at the princess, signaling her to come to the entrance of the mountain where a huge testing stone had long been placed.

This was the Spirit Sword Sect's Spirit Stone that they used when they were recruiting disciples. As long as they entered the Spirit Sword Sect, they would need to use this Spirit Stone to test the grade of their Spirit Vein, which was also their talent in cultivation.

At this moment, Yue Qingcheng slightly nodded her head and walked towards the testing stone. Under the gazes of almost a hundred thousand people, she lifted up her hand and placed it on top of the testing stone.

Immediately, everyone's eyes widened. Even Shi Ling and Long Yang at the foot of the mountain stared straight ahead.

In next to no time, the Spirit Stone emitted a dazzling violet light, and a line of words appeared in front of everyone's eyes. 'Profound Rank Spiritual Pulse'.

Almost all of them were stupefied. As disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, they knew that on the path of cultivation, the most important thing for each cultivator was cultivation talent. What was cultivation talent?

The faster you cultivate, the faster your strength will increase, meaning your talent will be higher, strength will be higher, whereas your talent will be lower. The height of your talent will depend on one thing in the body of the cultivator called "Spirit Vein".

In the Spirit Sword Sect's current records, the grade of the spiritual veins are: "Profound, Yellow, Sun, and Moon". The grade of the monthly rank spiritual veins is the lowest, and those with monthly rank spiritual veins cultivate the slowest. They need over a dozen years to reach the Refinement Realm from a mortal to the Body Refinement Realm, and those with Profound Rank spiritual veins have the fastest speed; they can advance from a mortal to the Refinement Realm in less than a month's time.

Generally speaking, in the Spirit Sword Sect, disciples were divided into different levels according to the level of their Spiritual Veins. Disciples with a Moon Rank Spiritual Pulse could be considered "ordinary", those with a Sun Rank Spiritual Pulse could be considered "outstanding", those with a Yellow Rank Spiritual Pulse could be considered "geniuses", and those with Profound Rank Spiritual Pulse could be considered "evildoers".

In the past hundred years, the person with the highest talent in cultivation in the Spirit Sword Sect was the eldest senior brother Guang Haoran. With a yellow level spirit vein, he was known as the number one genius of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Even at the foot of the mountain, Shi Ling, who could only look up, had a shocked expression on his face. This was the first time he had seen a cultivator with a Profound Rank Spiritual Pulse.

Long Yang, who was standing beside Shi Ling, said with a wry smile, "Even though he had already made his preparations beforehand and felt that this woman's talent must be extraordinary, after witnessing her with his own eyes, he was still extremely shocked. With a Profound Rank Spiritual Pulse, her cultivation speed will be unrivalled by everyone in our Spirit Sword Sect.

When Shi Ling heard this, he nodded his head seriously. Then, they heard Sect Master Nangong Ling's voice resounding throughout the sect:

"From today onwards, Qingcheng will become an official disciple of our sect and take over Anyang City. She will be the guardian of our Spirit Sword Sect."

After hearing this, the corner of Shi Ling's eyes twitched as he said, "He just entered the sect and became an official disciple, then took over one of the top ten administrative cities of the Spirit Sword Sect, Anyang City. Damn, this is too f * cking cool."

Long Yang frowned and said: "As far as I know, the rules within the sect is that only after a disciple enters the inner sect, can they become the core of the sect, and then they can guard a city for the sect. But this Yue Qingcheng, although she has a high status, is only an official disciple, and belongs to the outer sect. Furthermore, this city is one of the ten largest cities in the sect, Anyang City! "

Shi Ling shrugged his shoulders and said, "With his background, you wouldn't be able to give him anything else besides this. Moreover, even if you did give him a reward, he might not be interested in it."

Long Yang nodded his head at this time and didn't say anything else. The two of them stood there quietly, waiting for the ceremony to end.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the crowd outside the sect dispersed. However, the previous words of the sect master still echoed in everyone's heart, and even Shi Ling and Long Yang were discussing this matter on the way back. Others would simply wave goodbye to the items that they had spent their entire lives trying to obtain, and from the bottom of their hearts, they wouldn't be envious or jealous.

Due to the sudden activation of the Assembly Token just now, many of the servants had directly thrown their bags onto the ground. Now that they had piled them all together, searching for them would undoubtedly be very troublesome. Fortunately, the bags of Shi Ling and Long Yang were not thrown together with them, and were instead thrown back into the storage room.

Immediately, the two of them walked back into the junk room. At this moment, Shi Ling spoke up, "Long Yang, what was the mission that grandson Yan Wuping asked us to do?"

Long Yang slanted his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you listen to the gathering?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "I was squatting there with a piece of metal in my hand. I didn't hear what Yan Wuping had to say at all."

Long Yang replied, "Oh, this time the mission is to go outside the sect to collect a medicinal herb called 'Purple Orchid'. The year is over ten years old, and everyone needs to collect at least three plants to complete the mission. Each stalk of 'Purple Orchid' is exchanged for five gold coins, and if you collect more, the older the year, the more gold coins you get."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ling nodded his head, indicating that he understood. He then asked, "Do you know where we are heading to?"

Long Yang shook his head and said, "Yan Wuping didn't say anything earlier, but I think it should be somewhere near the Desolate Sky Valley."

Shi Ling replied, "Ah, that can't be. Why would it be in that damned place? It's said that all sorts of demonic beasts appear there. But then again, how do you know where your destination is?"

Long Yang replied, "The purple orchid is yin attribute, it is a strange flower suitable for females to consume, its growing conditions are extremely harsh, it is difficult to grow it, and only in the place where yin and yang energy intersect can you find it, and in the entire Spirit Sword Sect territory, you can satisfy this condition, and the closest is the empty valley."

When Shi Ling heard Long Yang's words, he was stunned. He did not seem to understand and immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's hurry up and pack up."

With that, Shi Ling walked to the front of the line and headed towards his own junk room, with Long Yang following closely behind.

However, what no one noticed was that behind a large tree in the distance, a tall, thin man was sneakily looking at Long Yang and Shi Ling. This thin, tall man was the one who had bullied Shi Ling together with Fatty Xu yesterday, and he was currently looking at Shi Ling with a sneer on his face as he walked into the room.

Previously, he came back earlier than Shi Ling and Long Yang, but he didn't rush to find his bag. Instead, he went to Shi Ling's junk room and placed a piece of fine iron stone inside it, then used a few tricks to seal his bag.

It would increase his weight by at least five hundred pounds, so how could Shi Ling possibly take it away with him, and the lanky man had put a few things on Shi Ling's bag, making it impossible for him to take out his own bag. In this way, he could only leave his bag in his room, and he could only complete his mission empty-handed.

Thinking up to this point, the skinny, tall man couldn't help but burst out in laughter. He had made Shi Ling suffer so much this time, Fatty Xu would be able to deal with him later.

"Shi Ling, Shi Ling, you can't blame me for this. Who told you to be so arrogant yesterday and even dare to hit Fatty Xu? Now you're done for, that guy has a grudge against you. Although he's not from the same service department as you, but he has ways to kill you, and this is just an appetizer, there's still going to be a big meal later!"

As the lanky man spoke to himself, his gaze once again landed on Shi Ling and the rest's room. When he thought of Shi Ling's ugly appearance when he could not bear his own burden, he laughed. Even if Shi Ling sent someone to help him at this time, Shi Ling's popularity in the janitor's division was very poor, and basically no one was willing to help him, even Yan Wu Ping was the same.

However, it was also at this moment that his eyes widened, because at this moment, he saw Shi Ling pick up his bag. At the start, Shi Ling had put in a lot of effort to pick up his bag, but he soon picked it up, and with his back against his chest, he said to Long Yang, "This bag feels a little heavy."

Long Yang also picked up his bag and said, "I left my bag here untouched. How could it suddenly become heavier for no reason? It was because I stood for too long and was a little tired that you felt like it became heavier, right?"

At that moment, he shrugged his shoulders and left the room, taking his time to take his leave. However, this scene left the lanky youth dumbfounded, and he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen wrongly, and if he had placed a piece of fine iron in the bag, how could Shi Ling carry it so easily, even though it was small? This was not scientific!

Immediately, the lanky youth walked out. He looked around to make sure there were no other bags around him. Therefore, there was no way that Shi Ling could have picked them up wrongly.

"Could it be that the Iron Essence Stone I placed inside was fake?"

The lanky man revealed a puzzled look, and immediately chased after Shi Ling. Previously, he had to look for two big men to put the stone into his bag, and although he was sure that there was no mistake, he still wanted to check it out.

Very quickly, he caught up to Shi Ling and Long Yang, who were walking on a corridor. He said, "Hey, Shi Ling, wait a moment."

At this moment, Shi Ling and Long Yang turned their heads and saw the skinny, tall man running towards them. Their faces were filled with confusion, not knowing what this fellow was up to. They heard Long Yang say, "Senior Brother He Tian, what's the matter?"

He Tian no longer paid any attention to Long Yang. Instead, he looked at Shi Ling, or to be more accurate, the bag on his shoulder, and said, "Show me your bag."

At this moment, Shi Ling and Long Yang looked at each other, not knowing what this fellow was up to. However, Shi Ling still took off his bag and passed it to him, "Your things are not inside. If you want to see them, you'd better hurry up."

On the other hand, He Tian snatched the bag and said, "Just give me the trashy words."

However, just as Shi Ling released his hand, He Tian felt an immense force pressing down on him. With a loud thud, Shi Ling's bag fell to the ground. He Tian's hand was pressed down, causing him to cry out in pain!

Shi Ling looked at He Tian blankly and laughed. He said, "You really can do it. You can't even hold a bag anymore."

Immediately, He Tian sat back down on the ground. At this moment, his hands had already turned red from the pressure and his eyes were filled with fury. He shouted at Shi Ling, "Bastard, you dare to mess with me!"

At this moment, he stood up and sent a punch towards Shi Ling. Moreover, without any reaction from Shi Ling, Shi Ling had sent a punch over. This fellow's strength was at the Refinement Realm, and if Shi Ling were to fight against him, Shi Ling would not be able to dodge his fist.

With a light thud, Shi Ling's head was thrown to the side. Although he had been hit in the head by Kawada, he did not take even half a step back.

Long Yang was instantly stupefied. He never thought that He Tian would actually make a move so easily, and just as he was about to say something in displeasure, he saw He Tian, who was holding onto his hand, let out a scream as if he was killing a chicken. It was as if he had hit something hard.

On the other hand, Shi Ling slightly twisted his neck. There were no marks on his face, and he was completely unharmed. He didn't even feel any pain and felt like He Tian had not used any strength at all.

Although Shi Ling did not feel any pain, how could he endure being punched in public like this?

Taking a step forward, he arrived in front of He Tian and threw a punch towards him. He Tian did not have any chance to dodge, because the speed of Shi Ling's punch was actually faster than He Tian's.

With blood still flowing out of his mouth, he twisted his body 360 degrees in the air before heavily crashing into the ground. His body rolled for another five to six meters before finally coming to a stop.

However, Long Yang was shocked. Then, a group of servants rushed over when they heard the noise. When they saw the scene in front of them, their faces turned pale with fright.

At this moment, Yan Wuping also walked over. When he saw that Shi Ling was still swinging his fist, He Tian was lying on the ground like a dead dog, twitching. He shouted at Shi Ling, "Impudent!"
