Suddenly aware of his true identity! Entering the inner gate!

  "This matter has already been passed on to Master Feng by Brother Guan, and now those two are being called over by Master Feng for disposal." Li Nan said in a low voice, seeing Brother Guan return, he quickly stood up.

  The crowd that was discussing earlier also quieted down as they saw the appearance of the manager, and each of them stood in a row. Tang Xin's gaze fell on the manager, and she had caught a glimpse of him last night. When he saw the two naked bodies, his eyes were fixed and didn't move, his calm gaze was not affected by the spring scenery at all, still clear and calm. This made her secretly wonder that the manager, who was only around 30 years old, was single and had few desires, and even when seeing such a scene, his expression did not fluctuate much, his willpower was really not ordinary.

  "What happened last night has been dealt with by Master Feng. The man had his inner disciple status revoked and was demoted to outer disciple, while the female outer disciple was expelled from Nan Xian Men and will never be taken back in. That's the end of it, so stop discussing it. Everyone else, go back to your originally assigned tasks. Tang Tang, take over the task that was originally assigned to the female disciple and deliver the spiritual medicine to the alchemy room."

  The man's voice was neither fast nor slow, but it had a certain majesty that made the crowd dare not say anything more. They all responded with a "good" and dispersed one after another.

  "Then what elixir should I send to the alchemy room?" Tang Xin asked, taking a step forward. She knew in her heart that he was being extra considerate of her, giving her an opportunity to observe the alchemy room.

  He glanced at her and said, "You take some over there, ask them what they need. If it's not here, go to the medicine field and pick some, then send them over."

  "Alright, thank you, Brother Guan." She smiled and turned to walk towards the medicine room. The medicine room was a place where spiritual medicines were stored. Some spiritual herbs needed to be air-dried before they could be refined into pills, while others required freshness. This place was used to store some of the air-dried spiritual medicines.

  The Alchemy Room was just a nickname, the place was as large as this side, and in the region separated by Yunfeng, the area on the Alchemy Room's side was still the main one. She followed the road and arrived at that side, where there were also checkpoints set up, and to enter, she had to register.

  "Hello, senior brother, I'm Tangtang, here to deliver the Soul Medicine." She took out her own token from her waist, showing her identity.

  "How come you're here today? Where's that female disciple from before?" The man at the registration desk looked up and stared at her in surprise, sizing her up.

  "It was arranged by Manager Shi for me to come over." She said a sentence and then stopped talking.

  Upon hearing this, the man at the registration desk stopped asking questions and after registering in a book, said: "You can go in now!"

  "Thank you, brother." She flashed a hint of a smile and walked inside.

  Look, this is not a thatched hut, but a courtyard made of tiles and bricks, surrounded by walls on all sides. In the middle is a large yard. As soon as you step in, various medicinal smells rush into your nostrils, and the temperature inside is also noticeably higher. Inside, forty or fifty men are guarding a half-person-high furnace each, some controlling the flames, others adding spiritual medicine to it. Her eyes flickered slightly, sweeping across the crowd, then scanning those furnaces, her gaze falling on a male disciple who was selecting spiritual medicine.

  "Hey, you're here to deliver the spiritual medicine, right? Come quickly and help me out." A man wearing a white robe hastily called out to her. In the immortal's gate, only inner sect disciples were qualified to wear white robes.

  Tang Xin was taken aback, pointing at herself and looking at him: "Me?"

  "Ah, yes, you, come over quickly." The man called out again, looking somewhat flustered as he ran to fetch a spiritual medicine one moment and then squatted down to check the fire the next, getting his head all sweaty, even staining his white robes with black streaks.

  "Senior brother, what do you want me to do?" She put down the spiritual medicine and asked the man.

  "Find me the San Leng Cao, it was just here a moment ago and now it's gone. Hurry up, I'm waiting to use it." He didn't bother with her, giving instructions while continuing to tend to the fire in the stove.

  "Good." She looked around and didn't see the three-edged grass, so she searched some corners and finally found the spiritual medicine that had fallen to the ground. It was probably because he was too busy to notice that he had dropped it.

  "San Leng Cao is here." She handed him the Zhu Ling medicine.

  "Huh? Found it so quickly?" The man looked up at her in surprise and said, "You know the types of spiritual medicine?"

  "Know some."

  "What kind of spiritual grass is this?"

  "Angelica keiskei."

  "What about this one?"

  "Adductor magnus muscle."

  "What's this?" The man's voice was somewhat surprised, after all, an outer sect disciple, how did he know so many herbs?

  Wood Betony Root.

  Upon hearing this, he seriously looked her up and down: "Not bad! You actually know all that? What's your name?"

  Tang Tang.

  "Sugar sugar?" The man looked at her strangely: "Sugar for eating sugar?"

  "Last name is Tang."

  "Oh, Tangtang, I am Shen Wenyuan, the eldest disciple under Master Feng of Lianfeng Chamber. Since you know about spiritual medicine, I'll mention it to my master and have him transfer you over here to assist."

  Her eyes flickered: "Lend a hand?"

  "It's just that we're doing tasks like fetching spiritual medicine, although we do prepare the spiritual herbs in advance, but after all, we are still only dan disciples, and can't do things as neatly as Master does. Sometimes, a single furnace of dan medicine will be ruined due to a slight difference in fire timing, wasting a lot of dan medicine. It would be better if someone helped out." He said this while adding spiritual herbs into the furnace.

  "Master Brother? Does she really know about spiritual grass? Won't it just be a few kinds?" Another man from another alchemy furnace heard their conversation and also asked.

  The man glanced at the speaker and said, "Tang Tang, bring me some straw."

  Tang Xin searched around on the table next to him and handed over a towel.

  "Sixteenth Younger Brother, did you see that? Tile grass is rarely used, yet she recognizes it. Do you think she understands spiritual medicine?"

  That man smiled as soon as he saw him and said, "Tang Tang, you come over and help me too! Anyway, the elixir that Master Brother is refining is almost done, right, Master Brother?"

  "Go!"

  She raised her eyes and looked at him, saying: "But I still have to go back and get the spiritual medicine! Otherwise, what if you guys lack spiritual medicine here?"

  "Don't worry about this, just focus on doing things well here and I'll talk to Shi Yun, the person in charge over there, later." Shen Wenyuan said, still staring at the fire.

  "Good." She finally responded with a sound and walked in that direction.

  She had originally come to deliver a spiritual medicine and take the opportunity to observe how they refined elixirs, but unexpectedly she was called here to help. Looking at them focusing on their respective furnaces, controlling the fire, she couldn't help but think that one day she would have to get a furnace back and try it out for herself.

  Because she helped them run errands on the side, she could openly watch from the side. However, it's estimated that she arrived late and only saw them adding spiritual medicine inside and controlling the spiritual energy stove with their skills. She knew that the furnaces here were ordinary furnaces, but the real tripods were magical instruments. Each tripod had a branded imprint and an array on its body, which was completely different from these ordinary furnaces.

  "Senior brother, is Peak Master's furnace also refined like this?"

  "How is that possible? Master's furnace is a mid-grade artifact, the Crimson Flame Cauldron. Just the countless seals and arrays on it are beyond comparison with these furnaces. I'll whisper to you, in two days' time, Master will be refining the Spirit Gathering Pill for the Sect Leader. We'll all be watching from the side then. If you want to see the excitement, come over quietly and watch from the side."

  "Really?" Her eyes lit up, unexpectedly having the chance to witness a Dan-making master's alchemy so soon.

  "Of course, it seems to be almost done. Let me see if today's refining is successful. Take a step back." The man said, using one hand to manipulate a stream of spiritual energy to push open the furnace lid, but unexpectedly caught a whiff of burnt smell and couldn't help but slump down: "Failed again."

  Tang Xin saw him take out the elixir from there, but it was not formed and all of them were burnt to a crisp. He couldn't help but feel even more curious, he had been staring at the fire like this for so long, how could they be burnt to a crisp? Moreover, those elixirs obviously hadn't mixed together yet, what's going on here?

  After spending a day in the alchemy room, as the sky grew darker, she walked back and forth, and when she returned to her own house, she saw a white figure sitting at the door of Qieyuan. She took a closer look, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

  "Heavenly Sound!"

  "Tang Tang! You're finally back, I've been waiting for you for half a day!" Gu Tianyin saw her return and joyfully went up to greet her, asking: "Why did it take you so long to come back? And what's with becoming an outer sect disciple?"

  "Never mind about me, how have you been lately? How's it going as an inner disciple?" She pulled her into the house and poured her a cup of water to drink.

  "I entered Snow Peak, my master is the only female peak owner of Nan Xian Men, Leng Bing Cheng. I'm doing well under her guidance. How about you? With your cultivation at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, shouldn't you be able to enter the inner sect as well?"

  "You've forgotten about my Five Spirits Root? Besides, I like refining pills, so I want to stay on this Dan Peak for a while." She smiled lightly and said, "In two days, we'll probably be able to see the peak master refine pills, I'm getting excited!"

  "Really! I was thinking of asking you if you want to come to our Snow Peak too, I'll go back and beg my master, she should be willing to take you in."

  "No need, I'm fine now. It's just that outer disciples can't come in to find you. You should come visit me often from now on. Look, I live alone in a room and the people here are all very nice to me. They're the ones who brought back all my things."

  "Uh, okay, as long as you're happy. If there's anything you need help with, just go find that Zhu Shixiong, I've already told him about it. If he can't help, he'll come tell me. Oh right, cultivation also requires spirit stones. My master gave me a lot, here, take some." She took out a handful of spirit stones from her spatial ring and stuffed them into her hand.

  Seeing that piece of Ling Stone, Tang Xin was stunned for a moment: "So many?" The Ling Stone is very beneficial to cultivators. When cultivating, absorbing the spiritual energy on the surface of the Ling Stone can help improve one's strength over time. In general, the sect would distribute Ling Stones to their inner disciples, but outer disciples do not have this benefit. If they want Ling Stones, they must buy them with gold coins.

  Tianyin stood up and said: "Tangtang, it's getting late, I'll go back first. I'll come to see you again in a few days."

  "Then I'll see you off!" She accompanied her out, but she said: "No need, the inner and outer doors are just a door apart, it's not far, what's there to see off? You must be tired today too, just rest first! I'm leaving." She waved goodbye to her and walked away.

  Looking at the spiritual stone in her hand, Tang Xin smiled. She was already a foundation-building cultivator, and the spiritual stone was only useful for those in the Qi-refining stage. Giving it to her wouldn't be of much use, so she might as well do someone a favor.

  The sky was gradually darkening, and she walked towards the residence of Shi Yun, the steward brother. As for Shi Yun, he had helped her many times, and she had thought about repaying him. However, now she was actually unable to help him in any way. Nevertheless, in her heart, she secretly planned that when she succeeded in refining the elixir in the future, she would give him a foundation-establishing pill as a token of gratitude for his care towards her all along.

  "Master Guan." She called out at the door, this time, the room was dimly lit, without lighting a lamp, and the door was closed, but she knew he had returned at this hour, only, however, there was no response.

  "Master Guan?" she called out again, but there was still no response. She couldn't help but push the door open and take a look inside. In the room, Shi Yun was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, his body trembling, his face pale, and beads of sweat the size of peas dripping from his forehead. His spiritual energy was in disarray. As soon as she saw this scene, she hastily walked in.

  Go crazy!

  She was slightly startled, and quickly mobilized her spiritual energy to help him dissipate the chaotic spiritual energy. With the strength of a foundation-building cultivator, she guided his spiritual energy back into his body. At the same time, she said: "Brother Guan, try to relax your mood and don't think about anything." As their spiritual energies interacted, Shi Yun's chaotic breath also gradually calmed down. Seeing this, she withdrew her hand, knowing that she couldn't hide it from him anymore. However, she hadn't expected that he would find out about her strength reaching the foundation-building stage in such a way.

  As expected, Shi Yun slowly opened his eyes and let out a light breath before lifting his head to look at Tang Xin in front of him. His lips moved slightly, and after a brief pause, he said: "You... you're actually already...". He was shocked beyond measure, and he couldn't believe that Tang Tang, who had only reached the fourth layer of Qi Refining, could be a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

  He was possessed by the evil spirit due to his unstable mind during cultivation. If it were another Qi Refining stage cultivator, they wouldn't be able to help him guide the scattered spiritual energy back into his body. Moreover, the surge of spiritual energy that had entered his body from her palm earlier was so powerful, definitely not something a Qi Refining stage cultivator could possess... But how old was she? Sixteen? A sixteen-year-old Foundation Building stage cultivator? How is this possible...

  "Sorry to deceive you, Master." She let out a soft sigh, her expression somewhat helpless.

  "You're already a foundation-building cultivator, with your talent, it shouldn't be a problem to learn alchemy. Why do you want to hide your cultivation and enter Yunfeng?" He didn't understand, wanting to know that if the master of Nanshanmen knew there was such a talented person in the sect, they would definitely focus on cultivating her, and her desire to practice alchemy would be easily fulfilled. But she hid her cultivation and came to this outer gate, starting from being an outer disciple, why?

  "Heh heh, don't be fooled, Senior Brother. I have many enemies outside who are searching for me everywhere. If I were to join the Southern Immortal Sect as a foundation-building cultivator at 16 years old, it would definitely cause quite a stir among them, and they would find me even more easily. Moreover, my goal in entering the Southern Immortal Sect is to focus on learning alchemy, but if I still have to deal with those troubles, wouldn't that ruin my intention of hiding in the sect?"

  Watching her elegantly sit down at the table, with a faint smile on her lips, although her face is ordinary, but the noble aura that can no longer be hidden and naturally emanates from her body and the light emitted by her eyes deeply shocks his soul. The woman in front of him who exudes confidence and noble aura, is this really her? At this moment, he was involuntarily captivated by her charm, and his heart wavered...

  It wasn't until quite some time had passed that he finally came back to himself, lowered his eyelids and said: "Don't worry! As long as you're here, you'll still just be Tang Tang of the fourth layer of Qi Refining, merely an outer disciple of Yunfeng."

  "Thanks, Senior Brother." She smiled slightly and thanked him, taking out the spirit stones and placing them on the table: "A friend of mine just sent these over to me earlier, because we haven't known each other for long, she thought I was only at the fourth layer of Qi Refining, so she gave all these spirit stones to me. Spirit stones are useless to Foundation Establishment cultivators like us, so I thought of giving them to you."

  At these words, he hesitated for a moment: "This..." She had just saved his life, how could he accept her spirit stone?

  "No need to be polite, just take it! These spirit stones are of no use to me, but they will be of great help to you, Brother Guan." She smiled and stood up, looking at him deeply: "Brother Guan should rest early! I'll leave first."

  Watching her leave after leaving the Ling Stone, Shi Yun's eyes flickered, and he walked forward, picking up those Ling Stones and staring at them in a daze. Outer door disciples did not have Ling Stones distributed to them, and if they wanted Ling Stones, they had to spend their own gold coins to buy them. However, the preciousness of the Ling Stones was not something that ordinary people could afford, even for him, he only had a few Ling Stones per month.

  Back in the house, Tang Xin sat cross-legged and meditated quietly. She soon entered a state of deep meditation. A dense spiritual energy emanated from her body, swirling around her. Unseen by anyone, her spiritual energy carried a faint golden aura...

  That day, Tang Xin got up early and came to the alchemy room. She thought she was already early, but when she arrived, there were already several people waiting there, including Shen Wenyuan, the eldest disciple of Peak Master.

  "Good morning, big brother." She smiled and greeted him as she walked towards him.

  Seeing her, Shen Wenyuan smiled and said: "Tang Tang, you're here, come sit down! Today we don't need to refine the elixir, you can take a break too."

  "Senior brother, when did Peak Master start refining the elixir?" She asked curiously, sitting down beside them with a composed and unrestrained demeanor.

  "It should be half an hour later!"

  "Tang Tang, what attribute are you? I see you're very interested in alchemy, do you also want to learn alchemy?" Another disciple asked.

  Upon hearing this, she smiled slyly: "Senior brother, I have a Five Spirits Root. If I could learn to refine pills, I would naturally want to refine pills too!"

  "That inner disciple heard this and said in surprise: 'Ah? You're a Five Spirits Root? The Five Spirits Root has all five attributes, but it's not that easy to cultivate. Moreover, the space for development of your cultivation is also limited. I think you wanting to learn alchemy is unlikely.'"

  "Is that so? But I don't believe that the Five Spirits Root has no room for development!" She smiled lightly, looking at the male disciple. In this world, anything is possible as long as you work hard, but if you don't make an effort, there will be no chance of success. If someone wants to do something but gives up just because others say they can't do it, then they will never succeed.

  "It's not that I want to belittle you, but the cultivation of those who have never heard of the Five Spirits Root is quite high. You're already doing well with your current four-layer Qi refinement. Some people cultivate for a lifetime and still can't enter the Foundation Establishment period."

  Upon hearing this, she merely smiled and remained silent. She raised her eyes to see several male disciples walking in, chatting idly in groups of three or five. Before long, a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe walked in, and without needing to guess, she knew he was Yunfeng's Peak Master, the alchemist surnamed Zhao.

  "The disciple pays respects to his master." The crowd saw him appear and respectfully bowed to him.

  "Hmm." A stern voice responded faintly, his gaze sweeping over the many famous disciples before landing on Tang Xin in her green robes, pausing for a moment, and asking: "Why is there a famous woman here? Who is she?"

  Tang Xin took a step forward, slightly lowering his head and saluting him: "Disciple Tang Tang greets the Peak Master."

  "Master, she is the outer sect disciple Tang Tang that your disciple mentioned to you two days ago. She's here helping out because she knew you were going to refine a pill for the Sect Master today and she admires you deeply, so she specially begged to watch from the side." Shen Wenyuan stepped forward and reported respectfully.

  "Are you Tang Tang?" The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice, his stern eyes sizing her up.

  "Yes."

  "Did you hear Wenxuan say that you know many kinds of spiritual medicine?"

  "The disciple has some knowledge of the types of spiritual medicine."

  "Huh? You're just an outer sect disciple, and you've only recently entered the immortal's gate. How do you recognize so many types of spiritual herbs?" The scrutinizing gaze remained on her, as if trying to see right through her.

  However, Tang Xin kept his head slightly lowered and his eyes half-closed, respectfully replying: "The disciple has read many books about spiritual medicine, so he can recognize the type of spiritual medicine."

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered and he looked at his many famous disciples, asking in a low voice: "Is there anyone among you who knows about Water Su? Can anyone understand its medicinal properties?"

  As soon as his voice fell, the surrounding disciples looked at each other, but couldn't answer. "Shuixu?" The master's question was certainly about a spiritual medicine, but they didn't know what Shuixu looked like or its properties. For a moment, they all slightly lowered their heads, not daring to look at their master.

  Even Shen Wenyuan furrowed his brow in contemplation at this time, Shui Su? What is its effect?

  No one answered, the middle-aged man looked normal, as if he had known that they didn't know what Watersu was. However, he turned his gaze to Tang Xin and said in a low voice: "Tang Tang, I'll ask you, do you recognize Watersu? Do you understand its medicinal properties?"

  At the words, Tang Xin slightly raised her eyes, looked at everyone, and her gaze fell on the peak master in front of her. She slowly lowered her eyelids: "Water Su, also known as Fragrant Su, is about one foot tall, with a straight stem, square shape, usually not branched, opposite leaves, leaf blades long oval lanceolate, apex blunt, base heart-shaped or nearly round, margin serrated, corolla light purple-red, pungent and slightly warm. Its medicinal effect is to dispel wind and regulate qi, stop bleeding and inflammation, and treat injuries from falls."

  She slowly and calmly explained the medicinal properties and shape of Shui Su, still with her eyes half-closed and a calm expression, yet it shocked all the disciples present, who re-evaluated this outer sect female disciple named Tang Tang. It's worth noting that even they didn't know the medicinal properties and value of Shui Su, but she, an ordinary outer sect disciple, could explain it so familiarly. How could they not be shocked? How could they not be amazed?

  But Yunfeng's master couldn't help but flash a hint of brightness in his eyes when he heard her actually describe the shape and properties of Shuixu. He nodded, saying: "Not bad, what you said is indeed Shuixu." His voice paused, he walked towards her, asking: "What is your attribute?"

  "Back to Peak Master, I am of Five Elements attribute."

  "Oh? Five Spirit Roots? So that means you also have a fire attribute, then. Condense a flame for me to see." It seems that instead of being disappointed because she was a Five Spirit Root, he actually asked her to condense flames.

  His words made all the famous disciples stunned, why was the master so concerned about an outer door disciple? Was it just because she knew the medicinal properties of that water su? Just because she recognized the spiritual medicine and looked at her with different eyes?

  Inevitably, the eyes of everyone fell on Tang Xin's body again. She had a ordinary and plain face with her straight bangs covering her eyebrows, and there was nothing striking about her. Her eyes were always half-closed, and her lips seemed to be hinting at a faint smile. Her appearance was not outstanding, but it couldn't be denied that she had a special aura, an inexplicable feeling that made people feel very peculiar. Perhaps this was the reason why she gained the favor of many inner disciples here, as they all called out to her with affection in just two short days.

  Tang Xin raised her eyes, looking at the Peak Master standing in front of her, and after a slight pause, she stretched out her hand and condensed a flame. It was her innate flame, the Golden Lotus Sacred Flame, a golden flame that shone like the sun, sparkling like gold. When the flame condensed in her hand appeared before everyone's eyes, they all gasped in unison.

  "Oh heavens! Golden flames, how beautiful!"

  "Gold, golden flames? What, what kind of flames are these?"

  "What a true beauty! What kind of fire is that? Why is it that color? It's so pure and beautiful, it's almost unbearable!"

  One after another, the crowd of famous disciples let out a cry of surprise, staring incredulously at the flames dancing in Tang Xin's hands. Normally, fire was red, and some people had even heard of blue flames, but golden flames were unheard of, unseen, until now, when they appeared right before their eyes.

  "Golden Lotus Sacred Flame..."

  Compared to the other disciples' amazement at the beauty of the flames, Yun Feng's master was shocked that these flames were actually the top-grade Golden Lotus Sacred Fire, a fire that only appeared in legends. Legend had it that the Golden Lotus Sacred Fire was an ancient divine flame and also the innate flame possessed by direct descendants of extremely powerful alchemy families. But how could this small outer sect disciple possess the Golden Lotus Sacred Fire?

  "It's really the Golden Lotus Sacred Fire, it's really the Golden Lotus Sacred Fire...... It's too unbelievable......" He was so excited that he wanted to reach out and touch it, but suddenly woke up and withdrew his hand. The Golden Lotus Sacred Fire is not ordinary, unless you are a destined fire controller, otherwise, if someone else touches it, they will simply be seeking death.

  As for his excited and shocked expression, Tang Xin was slightly surprised. Although she knew that the Golden Lotus Sacred Fire would shock him, she didn't expect him to be so shocked. Looking at his hands trembling with excitement, his eyes wide open in incredulity, his expression left her perplexed.

  She had tried to find books about the flame, but none of them mentioned her Golden Lotus Sacred Fire. However, she knew that it might be related to her life because it was similar to the golden lotus behind her back.

  "Peak Master?" She withdrew her hand, and the flames instantly extinguished.

  Watching the flames go out, Yunfeng's master came back to his senses at the same time, sank his face, swept a glance over the crowd of famous disciples, and said in a deep voice: "Today what you saw, not a single word is allowed to be revealed outside! Otherwise, severe punishment will be meted out without leniency!"

  Everyone was shocked, although they didn't understand, but still responded in unison: "Yes!" Doubtful eyes turned to Tang Xin, puzzled as to why she possessed such a unique flame, and why her master was so shocked that he even gave the order to seal their mouths.

  However, Yun Feng thought for a moment and still didn't feel at ease. He looked around at everyone and took out a small bottle from his spatial ring, saying: "Wen Xuan, distribute one pill to each of them." As he spoke, he handed the bottle over.

  Shen Wenyuan responded with a sound, took over, opened the medicine bottle, and each person took one. At this time, he heard his master's voice coming: "This is a forgetfulness pill, it will only make you all forget what happened today, it's all for your own good, take the medicine!"

  The crowd was even more shocked when they heard this, what about the Forgetfulness Dan? What's going on with that flame? They were actually given Forgetfulness Dan to eat? They glanced at each other, seeing their masters staring at them, and only then did they swallow the medicine. They knew that knowing things they shouldn't know might bring trouble, so it was better to forget and avoid disaster.

  Tang Xin's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at everyone before his gaze fell on the Peak Master in front of him, but why was he doing this?

  Everyone else had taken their medicine, Peak Master finally turned to Tang Xin and said, "You come with me."

  The many famous disciples were slightly stunned, their eyes somewhat puzzled: "What's going on? Master refined the elixir so quickly? I don't seem to have seen it?"

  "Where is Master taking Tiantian?"

  However, among the many famous disciples, Shen Wenyuan slowly raised his eyes, which had been half-lowered, and put away the dan medicine that was hidden in his sleeve. He looked in the direction where Tang had left, thinking to himself: "Golden flames... I heard Master muttering about the Golden Lotus Sacred Fire, but Tang is clearly a five-elemental attribute, why does he possess such a natal flame?"

  "What kind of person are you?" Arriving at a deserted place, Yun Feng's tone immediately sank as he asked, his sharp eyes falling on Tang Xin's body.

  She raised her eyes and looked at him, asking: "Master Feng, why did you say that?"

  "Jīn lián shèng huǒ, bù shì yībān de huǒ yàn, nà shì yǒu shàng gǔ shén huǒ zhī chēng de shèng huǒ, ér qiě, jù wǒ suǒ zhī, nà shì fēi xiān jiè yīgè qiáng dà jiā zú zhí xì zǐ tè de xiàng zhēng, nǐ, yīgè xiǎo xiǎo de wài mén dì zǐ, wèi hé yǒu zhè yàng de huǒ yàn?"

  Translation:

  "Golden Lotus Sacred Fire is not an ordinary flame. It's a sacred fire known as the Ancient Divine Fire, and according to my knowledge, it's a symbol unique to direct descendants of a powerful family in the Flying Immortal Realm. You, a small external disciple, why do you possess such a flame?"

  This is too strange, if she's of noble birth, why would she be in the Tiger Roar Continent? The Golden Lotus Sacred Fire is rarely seen in the world, except for that one legendary family, no one else could possibly have it. Could it be that she's really a member of that family? But this is also too unbelievable, too hard to believe.

  Upon hearing this, Tang's eyes flickered slightly as he said: "To be honest with you, Peak Master, this is indeed my innate flame, but I'm not aware of any connection to a family in the Flying Immortal Realm. Since childhood, I've been unaware of who my biological parents are and have always been searching for the mystery of my own life. If Peak Master knows anything about the Golden Lotus Sacred Flame, please inform me."

  "You don't know your own origin?" Zhao Feng slightly furrowed his brow as he looked at her, seemingly scrutinizing whether her words were true or false.

  "I don't know."

  He fell silent for a moment, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back as if deep in thought. After a while, he came to her side and said, "Do you want to learn how to refine elixirs?"

  "I came to Nanzhen Gate precisely for the sake of learning alchemy."

  "Alright then, I'll take you as my direct disciple and teach you the art of alchemy from now on!" He gazed at her with sparkling eyes, as if he was looking at a radiant gold mine.

  Tang Xin was slightly stunned, how did the conversation turn to this? Just now they were still talking about her background. However, being able to learn alchemy from him made her joyful, after all in the Four Sages' Gate, only the South Sage's Gate had two high-level alchemists, and Yun Feng, the master of Cloud Peak, was one of them. If she could take him as her teacher, it would be beneficial for her.

  "Master is above, please accept a bow from your disciple." She bowed her head and made a respectful gesture.

  Although she didn't kneel, he still nodded his head with a pleased expression and said: "Alright, now I'll tell you everything I know. The Golden Lotus Sacred Flame is a flame that only direct descendants of the Dan-refining family can possess. This family has been passed down for generations, producing only top-grade alchemists. In the world of cultivation, the higher the rank of an alchemist, the greater the success rate and quality of the elixirs they refine. However, this is after all a matter of the Flying Immortal Realm, and only a very small number of people here know about these things."

  "Master's meaning is that I am very likely to be a descendant of that family?" The Flying Immortal Realm? She knew that it was a cultivation world above the Cultivation Realm, and legend had it that only cultivators in the Flying Immortal stage could go there. Most cultivators in the Flying Immortal Realm were called immortals because their lifespan was no longer just 1,800 years, but several thousand or even possessing an infinite lifespan.

  "Ah, it won't be wrong, and it should be a direct descendant." He said, his eyes shining slightly as he looked at her, his tone barely concealing his excitement: "I really didn't expect that I would have the good fortune to accept a child of that family as my disciple. Tang Tang, rest assured, I will definitely pass on all my lifelong alchemy skills to you and make you become a legend in the Tiger Roar Continent!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get extremely excited, as if he had already seen a future Dan God slowly growing up under his guidance. If she really became a Dan God, then he would be the Dan God's master. Thinking of this, he felt hot blood boiling inside him, and it took a long time to calm down.

  The next day, the news that Yunfeng Peak's master had taken Tang Xin as his direct disciple spread throughout the sect. Tang Xin had gone from being an outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple, and was even personally named by Yunfeng Peak's master as his apprentice. This left many people puzzled - why would a high-ranking alchemist like him take an outer sect disciple as his apprentice?

  As she was taken in as an inner disciple, Tang Xin would naturally move from the outer sect to the inner sect's courtyard. On this day, she packed her things in the small hut, actually just putting everything she wanted to bring with her into the spatial ring on her wrist. Looking at the house that had been built for her and only lived in for a few days, she really did feel a bit reluctant to part with it, after all, it was specially set up for her.

  "Dong Dong, Dong Dong!"

  She heard the sound of a crowd outside and walked out to take a look. Seeing that it was them, she smiled and said: "How did you all come?"

  "Tang Tang, how did you get so lucky? You were actually directly named by Peak Master and taken as a direct disciple. Do you know that all of Peak Master's current disciples are from the Immortal Sect, and he only took you in by name? Your reputation has spread throughout the entire Southern Immortal Sect, everyone is wondering what your background is."

  She smiled lightly: "What's so special about me? I'm no different from all of you."

  "Tang Tang, you're going to enter the inner sect, I'm afraid it'll be hard for us to meet again in the future. You must remember to come back and visit us, don't become an inner disciple and forget about us." Li Nan said with a reluctant expression, looking at her. It's only been a few days, but she's already leaving, this is something they never thought would happen.

  "Hmm, I will. Besides, even if I were to face the inner sect disciples, I am still a person of Yunfeng! I will still go to the alchemy room and naturally also come back to see you guys."

  "Tang Tang, you still need to report to the inner gate, don't delay, go quickly!"

  "Alright, I'll go tell Brother Guan Shi about it." She said, and then took a step forward.

  As they watched her leave, the crowd couldn't help but sigh softly. It was truly a case of people having different fates. She had only been here for a few days and yet she had already caught the eye of Peak Master, becoming an inner sect disciple, and what's more, a direct disciple personally chosen by Peak Master himself. This point alone made her stand out from the ordinary disciples.

  "Housekeeper brother." She came to his residence and saw him inside, so she called out.

  "Tang Tang? Come on in!" Seeing her, Shi Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he hastily got up to greet her: "Aren't you supposed to report to the inner sect? Why are you still here?"

  "I'm getting ready to go in, so I came over to say goodbye."

  "En, having entered the inner gate is also to go to Yunfeng's alchemy room to learn alchemy. Later there will still be opportunities to meet." His gaze fell on her body, and he paused for a moment before saying: "I haven't congratulated you yet on finally being able to formally study alchemy."

  She knew she was no ordinary person, but still didn't expect that in just a few short days, she would leap from being an outer door disciple to an inner door disciple, and even become the direct disciple of the Peak Master. This matter truly made many people in Nanshanmen curious, all asking what kind of person she was. A new outer door disciple who had just entered the sect actually had such good fortune.

  "It's all thanks to you, Brother Zhang, if it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have come into contact with alchemy so quickly."

  "Alright, don't say any more, you go report to the inner gate first!" He revealed a hint of a smile, indicating for her to leave.

  "Alright, I'll go first." She responded with a sound, then turned around and left, heading towards the place where she was supposed to report.
