Sect Master Lu smiled and said to Zhong Lingxin, "This is Mei Yuqing, the Hall Master of the Elite Hall. Lingxin, from now on, you will be trained under him. Come, introduce yourself."
Zhong Lingxin bowed to Mei Yuqing and said respectfully, "Hall Master Mei! This disciple is Zhong Lingxin, a disciple of Qingyang Venerable Saint, and I have just advanced to the Golden Core stage. I cultivate swordsmanship, alchemy, and weapon crafting, and I am at the fifth rank in both."
Mei Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she pulled Zhong Lingxin over: "Really? Show me how you refine a fifth-grade pill."
Turning his head, he smiled at Sect Master Lu and said, "Our Elite Hall has two fifth-grade alchemists, but as you know, one is a Nascent Soul cultivator and the other is a Body Integration cultivator, both of them are hundreds of years old. I didn't expect Junior Sister Zhong to be so young, already a fifth-grade alchemist. Oh, and a fifth-grade weapon refiner as well."
Zhong Lingxin looked at Sect Leader Lu.
Sect Master Lu smiled and said, "I have only seen your report. You are a fifth-grade alchemist and weapon refiner. But in order not to affect your cultivation, your master did not give you these two allowances, and therefore did not assign you these two tasks."
Mei Yuqing smiled as she saw Zhong Lingxin take out the alchemy furnace: "Finish it up, finish it up! Our elite disciples face more dangers on missions, so having an alchemist with us provides extra protection. Junior Sister Zhong, how about you refine a fifth-grade healing pill? Our training is tough, and disciples often get injured."
Zhong Lingxin did as instructed, taking out dozens of spiritual herbs, arranging them in order, then taking out the alchemy furnace and summoning Lele.
His movements were natural and practiced, clearly indicating that he was a frequent alchemist.
Mei Yuqing was overjoyed. He decided that after Zhong Lingxin refined a fifth-grade pill, he would ask her to refine a fifth-grade magic weapon.
After that, if any of the elite disciples' magical artifacts were damaged, they could at least be repaired quickly.
As Zhong Lingxin refined the pills, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.
She didn't come to the Elite Hall to refine pills and weapons for them.
However, she still finished refining a batch of pills in a proper manner, and then emphasized: "Sect Master Lu, Hall Master Mei, this disciple is a sword cultivator, and I practice the Soul-Slaying Sword Technique, which is specifically designed to attack people's souls."
This disciple is still a cultivator specializing in individual cultivation. Even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, he once punched and injured Feng Haixi, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lingyun Sect.
Master Mei's eyes lit up even more; such a disciple was exactly what their elite hall should have.
Soon, Sect Master Lu left the back cliff with a smile.
Master Mei took Zhong Lingxin to meet the elites of the Elite Hall.
Along the way, Hall Master Mei introduced Zhong Lingxin to the Elite Hall, saying, "The Elite Hall is divided into four halls: the Golden Core stage is called Hall One; the Nascent Soul stage is called Hall Two; the Deity Transformation stage is called Hall Three; and the Body Integration stage is called Hall Four. I'll take you to Hall One first. From now on, you'll be training and going on missions together frequently."
Zhong Lingxin followed Master Mei through the leftmost door.
Inside the gate, several disciples walked over and greeted Hall Master Mei hurriedly, while also looking curiously at Zhong Lingxin.
Master Mei asked his disciples, "Zhao Nan, Hong Qiyuan, Deng Wei, where is your Master Qian?"
The three answered in unison, "Master Qian is currently in the Four Symbols Formation, leading his disciples in training."
Master Mei explained to Zhong Lingxin, "The Four Symbols Formation is a fourth-order formation, which is perfect for training your Golden Core stage disciples. Therefore, most of the disciples in our hall train in the Four Symbols Formation."
Zhong Lingxin knew about the Four Symbols Formation.
The Four Seasons Formation that her master used to train her not only changes with the four seasons, but also contains various smaller formations.
She trained in the Four Seasons Formation and learned how to break various formations along the way.
The Four Symbols Formation had given her a lot of trouble, and she had a very deep impression of it.
At this moment, she couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for her fellow disciples in the Four Symbols Formation.
Perhaps Zhong Lingxin arrived at the perfect time, as several figures were being thrown out of a formation.
Zhong Lingxin was extremely familiar with the way the fall occurred, so she quickly dodged and moved as far away as possible.
Seeing Zhong Lingxin's posture, Master Mei smiled slightly, realizing that she had clearly been through an array.
Before long, all the disciples had gathered.
The head of the hall was named Qian Shao. He introduced the disciples present to Zhong Lingxin: "Zhao Nan, sword cultivator, mid-stage Golden Core; Guan Lexin, sword cultivator, late-stage Golden Core; Li Shiyi, saber cultivator, Great Perfection of Golden Core; Zhou Jinting, saber cultivator, mid-stage Golden Core; Dongyang, staff cultivator, early-stage Golden Core; Feng Qiyuan and Deng Wei are both mid-stage Golden Core sword cultivators... There are also six other disciples, Hongwen, Zhang Guangying, Yun Feiyang, Zeng Yu, Wu Heng, and Gu Shenyong, who are currently training on the outskirts of the secret area. I will introduce them to you after they come out."
Zhong Lingxin also introduced herself.
Guan Lexin, being a female cultivator, naturally walked up to Zhong Lingxin and said with a smile, "Junior Sister Zhong, hello, I am Guan Lexin. You can stay in the courtyard next to mine, and we can keep each other company from now on."
Zhong Lingxin naturally accepted Guan Lexin's friendship and followed her into a small courtyard.
The courtyard is small, with three main rooms and a side room. There is a pavilion in the courtyard, with a set of stone table and chairs inside.
Guan Lexin explained, "This courtyard used to be occupied by a senior sister named Guo Qiuhua, but she moved to the second hall last month. It's good that you've come; we'll have some company now. The side room next door is Senior Sister Qiuhua's kitchen. Senior Sister Qiuhua's cooking is absolutely delicious; I really miss her."
Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "My cooking skills are so-so. If you have the chance next time, could you introduce me to Senior Sister Qiuhua? I'd like to get some good food too."
Guan Lexin nodded happily.
She believes that someone who enjoys food as much as she does is easy to get along with.
In the evening, Qian Shao, Zhao Nan, and others arrived, bringing with them spiritual fruits and wine.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and took out a barbecue grill, set up a spirit sheep, and roasted it for her companions to enjoy with their drinks.
Qian Shao was overjoyed: "I thought we would miss out on delicious food after Qiu Hua left, but who knew that Junior Sister Zhong is also a skilled cook."
Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "Don't praise me. I was forced by my contracted beast to learn how to barbecue. I don't know anything else."
Seeing everyone looking over, Zhong Lingxin released Huanhuan.
As soon as Huanhuan came out, she went straight to Guan Lexin: "Hello, beautiful!"
Qian Shao and the others all burst into laughter.
Guan Lexin picked up Huanhuan: "It's a white fox, so beautiful."
Huanhuan nodded vigorously. She loved it when people praised her for being pretty. This beauty really had good taste.
Zhong Lingxin watched Huanhuan play with a smile.
She was only at the Golden Core stage, and traveling with a divine beast would easily attract envy. With her master's help, Huanhuan's tails were hidden, and she was allowed to appear in public only as a white fox.
Huanhuan understood this. She had always lived as a little fox in the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qian Shao began to arrange Zhong Lingxin's next training plan: "Junior Sister Zhong, I heard from Hall Master Mei that you are skilled in swordsmanship, alchemy, and weapon crafting. Hall Master Mei instructed me to give you time for alchemy and weapon crafting. From now on, how about you enter the Four Symbols Formation with us every two days? First, practice your coordination with us in the Four Symbols Formation. After two months, we will arrange for you to go to the outer area for training."
