Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 712 - 362、Selecting Fire Spirit Sect Techniques

At this moment, Xu Xing was not without leverage when it came to bargaining. He believed the only reason Wen Renlan was willing to introduce him to the Fire Spirit Sect was that she no longer had any means to control him and was thus left with no choice; it wasn't out of kindness. If he didn't state his price now, it would be too late once he joined the Fire Spirit Sect.

Hearing this, Wen Renlan's heart immediately filled with anger. Her willingness to introduce Xu Xing to the Fire Spirit Sect was already a great favor. Not only was he ungrateful, but now he was brazenly raising his price, attempting to coerce her in return. What kind of person was he?

How could there be someone in the world with such a despicable nature? Wen Renlan cursed inwardly.

The first time she met Xu Xing, she had been recuperating inside the Pill Furnace. Without a word, Xu Xing had attacked her ruthlessly and stolen her Storage Bag. Now, in their second encounter, his behavior was just as detestable.

"I..." Wen Renlan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. "I can recommend to our Sect Leader Senior Brother that Daoist Xu also be made an Elder of our Fire Spirit Sect."

"Your benefits will be the same as mine," Wen Renlan added, gritting her teeth.

During the three years Xu Xing had temporarily resided on Sea Monkey Island, she had exhausted various methods to locate his True Body, but all her attempts had ended in failure.

"A Fire Spirit Sect Elder?" Hearing this, Xu Xing's face lit up with joy. He thanked Wen Renlan, saying, "Many thanks for your assistance, Immortal Wen."

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will certainly repay Immortal Wen's kindness," Xu Xing said, cupping his fists.

Although he knew that status didn't equate to actual power—and as a Fire Spirit Sect Elder, his authority would surely not match that of Wen Renlan, the Fourth Elder—this position would still allow him to establish a firm foothold in the Day Sky Ocean Region. Furthermore, with the status of a Fire Spirit Sect Elder, he could access and borrow cultivation materials from the sect, resources that had been difficult for him to obtain on Heavenly Star Island.

"Save your words," Wen Renlan snorted.

"Once these matters are settled, just return my personal belongings. After that, I and Daoist Xu will have no further connection," Wen Renlan added.

"Very well," Xu Xing nodded in agreement.

Leaving the rented Cave Mansion on Sea Monkey Island, Xu Xing, under Wen Renlan's guidance, went to the inner city to meet the Fire Spirit Sect Master.

"A cultivator who ascended from the Lower Realm... with a lifespan of no more than two thousand years..." The Fire Spirit Sect Master mused. "Daoist Xu, your talent truly makes me, the Sect Master, envious."

The Fire Spirit Sect Master was an old man in a feather robe, possessing a serene temperament. Upon seeing Xu Xing, he observed him closely for a few moments before praising him profusely.

Cultivators in the Chiming World might not even reach the Nascent Soul First Realm after two thousand years of cultivation. Yet, Xu Xing had already reached the Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm. A true Pride of Heaven!

"I had some fortuitous encounters in the Lower Realm..." Xu Xing replied, a little surprised that the Fire Spirit Sect Master could determine his approximate lifespan.

It was already difficult for cultivators of the same realm to discern another's true cultivation level, let alone their specific lifespan. Innate Martial Artists already possessed bodies that leaked no aura, to say nothing of Primordial Spirit Sage Monarchs, who could completely conceal their presence and merge with heaven and earth. This time, although the Fire Spirit Sect Master hadn't discerned his exact age, estimating it to be within the two-thousand-year range was already quite remarkable.

"Cultivators who have reached our level all have their own secrets. Daoist Xu, there's no need for an explanation," the Fire Spirit Sect Master said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

The barrenness of the Lower Realm was common knowledge among Chiming World cultivators. The fortuitous encounters that had propelled Xu Xing to his current stage might be considered significant in the Lower Realm, but not necessarily in the Upper Realm. After all, their Fire Spirit Sect had a Refining Void Immortal.

"Before Daoist Xu joins our Fire Spirit Sect, there are already twelve House Elders within the sect. Daoist Xu, being in the Primordial Spirit Stage, you also qualify to become an Elder of our sect, correct?"

"I just wonder... would Daoist Xu be willing to accept the position of Thirteenth Elder in our Fire Spirit Sect?" the Fire Spirit Sect Master asked, his gaze intently fixed on Xu Xing.

Thirteenth Elder? Xu Xing's mind stirred. Being the Thirteenth Elder implied that there were at least twelve Primordial Spirit Sage Monarchs in the Fire Spirit Sect besides him.

Xu Xing pondered for a brief moment before cupping his fists and agreeing. Before meeting the Fire Spirit Sect Master, he and Wen Renlan had already discussed the benefits and position he would receive upon joining the Fire Spirit Sect.

"All important positions within the sect are currently held by House Elders, and establishing a new organization wouldn't be appropriate..." The Fire Spirit Sect Master paused, glanced at Xu Xing, and continued, "I wonder... which position within the sect might Daoist Xu be interested in?"

Primordial Spirit Cultivators were already considered high-level members within the Fire Spirit Sect and were qualified to choose certain positions.

"I have some interest in array techniques. Might I be considered for the position of Vice Hall Master of the Formation Hall?" Xu Xing mused for a moment before bowing to the Fire Spirit Sect Master.

Sea Monkey Island was adjacent to Heavenly Star Island, and trade between the two islands was frequent. He had already opened a Formation Method Shop on Heavenly Star Island under the guise of "Huang Longzi." If he now also became the Vice Hall Master of the Fire Spirit Sect's Formation Hall... he could facilitate collusion between his official capacity and his private business. It would be like moving assets from his left hand to his right. In no time, he would accumulate enough resources to attempt a breakthrough to a higher realm.

"The Vice Hall Master of the Formation Hall?" Upon hearing Xu Xing's request, the Fire Spirit Sect Master nodded. Although this was a high-ranking position within the Fire Spirit Sect, adding a Vice Hall Master, a subordinate role, wouldn't significantly impact the sect's existing power structure.

"These are the Fire Spirit Sect Elder's Robe and Jade Token," the Sect Master announced, "and this is the jade token for the Vice Hall Master of the Formation Hall."

As he finished speaking, the Fire Spirit Sect Master waved his sleeve robe, and a blue-red robe and two Yellow Jade Tokens materialized in the air.
