I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 297: Chapter 263: Joining the Guild

The people nearby were surprised at Jiang Yuebai, and couldn’t help but rub their eyes. Clearly, Jiang Yuebai was still right in front of them, but in their Divine Sense perception, Jiang Yuebai didn’t exist at all, becoming a part of nature like a breeze, a drop of water, or a blade of grass.

The middle-aged cultivator evaluating them was shocked but showed an expression of ’just as expected’. With profound mystery, he said, ”It’s truly worthy of the legendary Jiang Wudao. Just one medicinal examination, yet she could enter the Enlightenment Realm. Such comprehension, truly gifted!”

”Who did you say she is? Jiang Wudao? Jiang Yuebai of the Heavenly Interence Sect?!!”

The three of them were dumbstruck, and their expressions changed immediately.

”Well, it seems I still have a little time. I didn’t see clearly just now. I’ll take another look.”

”I also didn’t see clearly. I’ll study it a bit more.”

”You two rascals, no matter how much you study, you won’t figure anything out. But I admire your shameless courage. I’ll join you this once.”

The middle-aged cultivator: .........

Not far away, a young-looking man with a chubby five or six-year-old child suddenly appeared on the rooftop, looking towards Jiang Yuebai in the courtyard below.

The chubby child wore a Patchwork Robe, with each piece of cloth embroidered with special runes, suppressing his aura from leaking. After squinting for a moment, he excitedly raised his hand.

”It’s her, it’s her, the Little Immortal Ganoderma who previously snatched my ’Immortal Grass Scripture’!”

If Jiang Yuebai were to open her eyes now, she would definitely recognize that this chubby child was Tai Sui, now grown and able to speak, no longer needing to rely on a corpse.

The man beside him wore a dark green long robe, playing with a Sword Orchid.

He was the president of the Alchemy Master Guild, the Late-Stage Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Hundred Herbs Sect, Tian Nanxing.

Moreover, he was also a demon hidden among the human clan.

”Didn’t you say earlier that the ’Immortal Grass Scripture’ was graciously given to her by you?”

Tai Sui rolled his eyes, ”If I hadn’t let go, could she have snatched it? Nonsense!”

Tian Nanxing looked carefully for a moment, then frowned, ”She is not born of the demon clan but an Acquired Extraordinary Person. Are you sure passing the cultivation technique of the Immortal Ganoderma Clan to her won’t cause issues?”

Tai Sui waved his hand, ”It doesn’t matter. Our Immortal Ganoderma Clan is nearly extinct in this Earth Spiritual Realm. A little spark is nothing, even if it dies out, it’s fine. Once you take me to the Upper Realm, I’ll seek out other Immortal Ganoderma and rebuild my clan.”

Tian Nanxing nodded, ”This reminds me of the recent rise of Fufeng Mountain Master in the Extraordinary People Country. Though his cultivation is not high, his ambition is considerable. He sent messages through others to the Demon Clan, claiming that Extraordinary People have long struggled to survive between humans and demons, and he knows a way to transform Extraordinary People into demons, thereby strengthening the Demon Clan. I think...”

”Should we meet him?” Tai Sui asked.

”Yes, with the lifting of the lockdown in Kongfang City, we can indeed visit the Extraordinary People Country. Our grand endeavor requires some non-demon clan strength, and it’s a good time to quickly send you off. This time, if there are issues with the Wind and Cloud Meeting, I feel there’s your influence at play amid it all.”

”So indeed, it’s better to finish things quickly and think of a way to send you to the Upper Realm. This Earth Spiritual Realm is the origin of all clans and is of profound significance; it can’t be ruined by your antics. As for this girl...”

Tian Nanxing looked carefully for a moment longer. The hairpin on Jiang Yuebai’s head, which could conceal her demon energy from humans, could not fool a True Demon Clan with a naturally strong and keen Divine Soul.

”Wait, she actually has the aura of the Ancient Rong Demon Venerable. She has caught the attention of the Ancient Rong Demon Venerable.”

After pondering for a moment, Tian Nanxing’s eyes flickered, considering something unknown, ”Since this is the case, I’ll grant her a fortune and see if this spark can set the prairie ablaze.”

The quarter-hour time was up, and Jiang Yuebai and the other three were swept away by a wind, taken out of the courtyard.

The yard was sealed, and they could not enter again.

Jiang Yuebai looked regretful, as she had only understood half, and the other half remained unclear.

The middle-aged cultivator came to collect their answers, and the other three all looked at Jiang Yuebai.

Previously thinking she was scribbling aimlessly, now seeing her paper covered with at least a hundred spirit plant names, they felt the vast gap. ℯℯ𝘭.

They had racked their brains but only managed to write fewer than thirty.

Jiang Yuebai sighed, handed the paper to the middle-aged cultivator, but just as the cultivator reached for it, she snatched it back and burned it to ash.

”I failed today’s examination; I’ll return tomorrow. Goodbye!”

She was truly clever. Returning the next day would mean another quarter-hour to look!

If she doesn’t finish tomorrow, she’ll come the day after!

The middle-aged cultivator’s hand froze in mid-air, and the corners of the other three’s mouths twitched. This was possible?

It turned out, she wasn’t here for the examination, but grabbing the opportunity to learn. Compared to her, the three indeed felt the vast difference in realms between people.

That’s why she’s a prodigy, Jiang Wudao, while they were just unnamed extras.

Jiang Yuebai was about to leave when a wind, carrying Nascent Soul pressure, wrapped around her and swept her into the adjacent courtyard, surrounded by elixir rooms.

”The medicinal examination is passed, the evaluation continues.”

A dignified voice rang out; Jiang Yuebai wanted to protest, but with that pressure pressing on her, she immediately quieted down.

Evidently, tricks wouldn’t work here; she could only wait until after the assessment to inquire if her master had any acquaintances in the Alchemy Master Guild to let her look at the Spiritual Tree again.

The next evaluation involved alchemy, choosing from three different grades of elixir, refining three batches to see the success rate and grade.

This part was entirely no challenge for Jiang Yuebai, who had a second divine thought. She directly asked for three pill furnaces and refined all three kinds of elixirs at once, astonishing those within and outside the Alchemy Master Guild.

Finally, when taking the Determination Token, Jiang Yuebai was kept until last. After everyone left, the middle-aged male cultivator, who first received her, handed her a token completely different from others and a long, rectangular wooden box.

”This is the token for a Seventh-Grade Alchemist within our guild. You can issue commission tasks without a fee and prioritize choosing tasks. Seventh-Grade Alchemists can choose one commission task to complete each month, earning one to ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones based on task level.”

Before Jiang Yuebai could speak, the middle-aged male cultivator opened the wooden box, revealing a palm-sized, intricately carved orchid Jade Scroll and a Sword Orchid Jade Hairpin with a green body, adorned with pink double flowers, lifelike, exuding a faint orchid fragrance that was refreshing.

”These are specially instructed by our president. If Fellow Daoist Jiang agrees to accept this token, the Spiritual Tree Atlas and this Sixth-Grade Magic Treasure Orchid Hairpin serve as gifts for joining the guild.”

This indeed made it hard for Jiang Yuebai to refuse. As her cultivation increased, expenses rose, and she had intended to expand the Huaxi Valley industry upon returning to her sect.

If she could acquire the grafting technique on the Spiritual Tree, she could shorten the growth cycle of spiritual medicine and greatly enhance its quality.

Although initially seeming impossible, the possibility was real upon seeing that Spiritual Tree.

As a Spiritual Cultivation Master, farming was her true profession.

Moreover, the salary offered by the Alchemy Master Guild was quite high; their tasks involved alchemy, dealing with special spiritual medicine, collecting spiritual medicine, and similar tasks, nothing extraordinary.

”Aside from the one commission task per month, are there any other mandatory assignments?” Jiang Yuebai confirmed again.

The male cultivator nodded, ”No, if you are short on time, tasks over three years can be accumulated and completed together, and upon completion, you can receive the commission reward and guild salary. After joining for ten years, you may apply to leave at any time if you wish.”

Ten years isn’t long for her; the Spiritual Tree Atlas alone was worth it, and she felt she had gained more.

”Alright, I’ll accept this token, and by the way, I’d like to commission a task now, if possible?”

”Register here.”

The task Jiang Yuebai wanted to commission was naturally searching for various spiritual medicine over a thousand years old. Alchemists often handled spiritual medicine, making this commission much easier than elsewhere.

With that settled, all that remained was to sell all the useless things she had for spirit stones, buy materials for refining Golden Core and modifying the Sword Sky Puppet, and then she could return to the Heavenly Interence Sect.

It had been a long time since she returned; she indeed missed Huaxi Valley.
