Invincible Soul Emperor-Chapter 56: The Second-Rank Marrow-Cleansing Pill

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: The Second-Rank Marrow-Cleansing Pill

The white-haired Elder’s voice was so loud that it enveloped the entire square, reaching every person’s ears clearly.

Ye Ying’s expression changed, her gaze instinctively falling upon Ye Qingchen.

Clearly, the person the white-haired Elder was referring to was none other than Ye Qingchen.

Nearby, Huang Xiaoshuai had a look of schadenfreude on his face. "Haha, if Ye Qingchen fails to join the Qingyun Sect, that’ll be quite the show! He’ll definitely become the biggest joke in Qingyun Town!"

With one less person to share the Sect’s cultivation resources, Huang Xiaoshuai naturally hoped Ye Qingchen wouldn’t be able to join.

However, Ye Qingchen appeared completely calm and composed. If Du Pengcheng had the courage to make me a special recruit, he must have a way to resolve this.

Indeed, Du Pengcheng approached the white-haired Elder and whispered something in his ear. The Elder’s eyes grew wider and wider as he occasionally glanced at Ye Qingchen. Finally, a satisfied light shone in the old man’s eyes, and he nodded.

"Haha, if that’s the case, then we must keep this genius in our Qingyun Sect!"

After Du Pengcheng had arranged everything for Ye Qingchen’s group, he returned with a smile. "Welcome to the Qingyun Sect! These are your cultivation resources. I just pleaded with Elder Huang, and he generously provided an extra portion so the four of you won’t have to share three portions!"

He handed Identity Tokens and a large sack to the four of them, then gestured to a disciple standing tall with a sword on his back not far away. "You, take them to the Outer Sect to register!"

"Yes!" The disciple bowed slightly to Du Pengcheng with a respectful demeanor, then turned to Ye Qingchen’s group. "Junior brothers and sisters, come with me!"

"Thank you, Steward Du. We appreciate your help, Senior Brother!"

Ye Qingchen and his companions bowed to Du Pengcheng to express their gratitude, then followed the disciple.

As the group traversed the vast square, the guiding disciple introduced himself with a smile. "My name is Wang Qiang, and I’m also an Outer Sect disciple. I’ve been with the Qingyun Sect for five years now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime."

"By the way, how should I address you all, junior brothers and sisters?"

"Huang Xiaoshuai!"

"Ye Ying!"

"Li Teng!"

"Ye Qingchen!"

The four of them stated their names for Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang nodded, committing their names to memory. His gaze paused for a moment when it landed on Ye Qingchen. Elder Huang was furious at first, but then he agreed to let Ye Qingchen join the Sect. That must mean Ye Qingchen either possesses heaven-defying talent or has a frighteningly powerful background!

Regardless of the reason, he isn’t someone to be trifled with. I’ll need to find a way to interact with him more and build a good relationship!

The group conversed as they walked, the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy growing increasingly rich.

"This area is still on the periphery of our Qingyun Sect, where hundreds of thousands of nominal disciples live and cultivate. The nature’s spiritual energy here is the sparsest! It’s the worst cultivation environment in the entire Sect!" Noticing the curious expressions on their faces, Wang Qiang gestured at their surroundings and explained.

Ye Qingchen and the others were secretly astounded. What! The Spiritual Energy here is already many times richer than in Qingyun Town, yet this is where it’s the sparsest in the Qingyun Sect? If this is the worst cultivation environment, what does that make Qingyun Town?

Even the cultivation area for nominal disciples was countless times better than Qingyun Town!

As expected of the Northern Desolate Country’s number one sect! How extravagant!

"Are you surprised? Haha, when I first joined the Sect and saw this place, the shock on my face was no less than yours!" A hint of pride appeared on Wang Qiang’s face. "Stay a bit longer, and you’ll understand just how powerful our Qingyun Sect is!"

His face full of gossip, Huang Xiaoshuai quickly sidled up to Wang Qiang and asked curiously, "Senior Brother Wang, I heard that our Sect Leader is the number one expert in the Northern Desolate Country?"

The pride on Wang Qiang’s face intensified. "Of course! Our Sect Leader is undeniably the strongest in the Northern Desolate Country, completely unrivaled! In addition, our Sect has a Martial King who is also one of the country’s top ten experts! Below them, we have dozens of Martial Spirit experts, over a hundred Great Martial Masters, nearly a thousand Martial Masters, several thousand Inner Sect Disciples, and tens of thousands of Outer Sect Disciples..."

The more Ye Qingchen and the others heard, the more astonished they became. The sheer power of the Qingyun Sect made a small place like Qingyun Town utterly insignificant in comparison.

No wonder Qin Yue advised me to strive to join one of the six great sects!

At that moment, Ye Qingchen finally understood the careful consideration behind Qin Yue of the Rising Sun Pavilion’s advice. Backed by a behemoth like the Qingyun Sect, his growth would certainly not be slow!

The group chatted as they walked. After traveling for several miles, they arrived at an area where the Spiritual Energy was even denser. It was filled with independent courtyards, a massive improvement over the peripheral rooms they had seen before.

"Alright! We’ve arrived! These vacant courtyards are all marked. You can choose any you like. Just remove the marker after you’ve settled in," Wang Qiang said. "You all get settled first. I need to report back to the Sect Main Hall and collect my reward for welcoming the new disciples."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wang!"

After Wang Qiang left, Ye Qingchen found a courtyard and moved in with Xiao Xiao, while Ye Ying and her servant settled into the courtyard next door.

The courtyard had three rooms. While Xiao Xiao busied herself in a side room, Ye Qingchen tidied up his own room before opening the bag Du Pengcheng had given him.

At the top was an Outer Sect Disciple’s Identity Token, and beneath it was a detailed guidebook about the Qingyun Sect. Below the guidebook were two sets of Outer Sect disciple attire and some daily necessities.

His gaze fell upon two bottles of Spirit Pills at the bottom, and his eyes lit up.

One bottle was labeled: Soul Condensing Pill!

Although also a First-Grade Pill, the Soul Condensing Pill was far superior to the Spirit Gathering Pill. Its effect on cultivation was much more potent, and naturally, its value was much higher. Opening the porcelain bottle, he saw five thumb-sized, enticing Soul Condensing Pills inside.

Ye Qingchen’s face lit up with a joyous surprise. Five of them at once! Such a grand gesture! Worthy of the greatest sect in the Northern Desolate Country! Truly generous!

When his eyes fell on the other porcelain bottle and saw its name, his pupils suddenly contracted.

A Second-Grade Spirit Pill, the Marrow-Cleansing Pill!

He couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. It’s actually a Marrow-Cleansing Pill!

The Marrow-Cleansing Pill was incredibly precious. It could cleanse one’s marrow and purge impurities, enhancing one’s aptitude! Its price was exorbitant. Although the Rising Sun Pavilion sold Marrow-Cleansing Pills, even the three great families of Qingyun Town rarely brought themselves to purchase them for their clan’s younger generation.

And now, as a mere Outer Sect disciple, he had been directly given a Marrow-Cleansing Pill!

The value of this single Marrow-Cleansing Pill was definitely far higher than the five Soul Condensing Pills combined!

I’ll take this Marrow-Cleansing Pill first!

Without a second thought, Ye Qingchen opened the porcelain bottle and swallowed the pill inside.
