C4 Heading to the Kai Yuan Sect to Recruit Disciples!(1)

"System, do you have any recommendations?"

Chen Feng, overwhelmed by the plethora of items he couldn't afford, let out an internal cry of despair. He decided to consult the system for advice.

"It's at crucial times like these that I prove my worth. You don't have enough points, host. With only 100 points, you can only purchase the most basic items, which are of no use to you at the moment. I suggest you invest in something that will benefit you now, like the sect entrance certificate, for instance."

Chen Feng narrowed down the items within the 100-point range.

Essence Steel Sword: 50 points

Grade One Healing Pill: 50 points

Ox Barbarian Body Forging Technique: 100 points (Low Grade Yellow Rank Body Refining Cultivation Method)

Breeze Steps: 100 points (Low Grade Yellow Rank Movement Technique)

Lifting the Willow Sword Method: 200 points (Middle Grade Yellow Rank Sword Method)

...

Currently, Chen Feng possessed the Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra and Basic Sword Spell, which sufficed for his needs. There was no point in squandering points on the other items.

After a while, he came across the sect entrance certificate the system had mentioned.

It was an odd-looking piece of paper, stating that the signee must not betray or reveal any secrets of the Profound Heaven Sect, among other stipulations. All it required was a signature. Each certificate cost one point.

"System, is this piece of paper really worth it? One point for a single certificate seems quite steep."

Chen Feng examined the sect entrance certificate, puzzled.

"No need for alarm, host. The system's products are always top-notch. Once a disciple signs this certificate, they are bound by the system's rules. Any violators will face the system's punishment, up to and including erasure. This certificate is tailor-made for you."

The system noticed Chen Feng's skepticism and confidently reassured him.

Chen Feng trusted the system's capabilities; he had already witnessed its power, with every item it produced being exceptionally impressive. Even though he was unsure of the system's ultimate goal, for now, he had no choice but to place his faith in it and take things one step at a time.

Chen Feng purchased an entry token for a mere point—a bargain by any standard. With ninety-nine of the hundred points he'd been awarded still in hand, he decided to save them for later use.

He presented the token to Lu Xueqi, saying, "Xueqi, this is the entry token. Simply sign your name, and you'll be an official member of the Profound Heaven Sect."

Lu Xueqi eyed Chen Feng skeptically before examining the token, which bore an oath of loyalty to the sect master and the sect itself. It seemed reasonable enough, but she couldn't help questioning the real power of such a document. Despite her doubts about the sect master's reliability, she signed her name.

Chen Feng watched Lu Xueqi sign and nodded in approval. He stored her entry token in the system's storage space and then presented her with the Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra and the Basic Sword Spell. "These are the foundational techniques of our Profound Heaven Sect. Start with these, and once you've advanced to the Golden Core Stage, I'll teach you more advanced methods."

After a moment's reflection, he added, "You are at the pinnacle of Body Refining. Without reaching the Body Refining Extreme Stage, you cannot progress to the Golden Core Stage. However, once you do break through, I will bestow upon you a great fortune."

For a Peerless Talent, advancing to the Extreme Stage was relatively straightforward, given the numerous advantages it offered. A solid foundation is crucial, as it allows one to surpass others in both cultivation and understanding.

As Lu Xueqi inscribed her name, she felt an invisible bond take hold within her, as though any betrayal of the sect would have dire consequences. This realization filled her with a sense of unease; the Profound Heaven Sect was clearly more complex than it appeared.

She took the cultivation methods from Chen Feng and began to study them intently. The more she read, the more astonished she became, and she found herself believing Chen Feng's claims about the sect's ancient lineage. Her anticipation for what the Profound Heaven Sect might hold grew exponentially.

The Ice Snow Holy Land possesses only two Holy Grade Inheritance Cultivation Methods. It's astonishing that the Profound Heaven Sect would so casually present one of such caliber, and it's incredibly potent at that. The Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra can actually enhance one's comprehension and Bone Root. Were it not limited to the Body Refining Stage, it might well be deemed a God Grade Cultivation Method. It has been said since time immemorial that Bone Root and comprehension are immutable.

The more Lu Xueqi read, the more incredulous she became. Could it be that all disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect who practiced the Tendon Altering Marrow Cleansing Sutra were geniuses?

When Lu Xueqi picked up the next text, she braced herself for another shock, yet she was still taken aback.

This, too, was a Holy Grade Cultivation Method. Despite its name, Basic Sword Spell, anyone who masters it can become a Sword Dao Expert. Perfecting it can lead to the comprehension of Sword Intent. In Central State, those who grasp the sword force are hailed as geniuses, and Sword Intent follows sword force. The Profound Heaven Sect truly commands respect.

Lu Xueqi's anticipation for the Profound Heaven Sect grew, and she felt an increasing sense of belonging. Joining the sect might indeed offer her the opportunity to return to the Ice Snow Holy Land and reclaim what is rightfully hers.

"You're not worried I might just run off with these?" Lu Xueqi asked Chen Feng, a playful smile on her face. "Holy Grade Cultivation Methods are forbidden in the Holy Land, and yet you've given them to me so freely."

Chen Feng regarded Lu Xueqi, silently noting how enchanting she was; her mere smile was intoxicating. How could he not be bewitched by her in the days to come?

Clearing his throat, Chen Feng spoke earnestly, "You've signed the sect entrance certificate, sealing your fate. The Ancient Inheritance isn't something one can easily betray. I've casually handed over two Holy Grade Cultivation Methods—don't you think I might possess a God Grade Cultivation Method? Leaving the Profound Heaven Sect would be your loss alone."

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Lu Xueqi silently speculated that the situation was indeed not as straightforward as it seemed. If she were to betray him, there would likely be no easy resolution. The entry proof was no trivial matter, yet she also considered that if a Holy Grade Cultivation Method could be so readily available, then perhaps a God Grade Cultivation Method might not be out of reach. It was clear that the Profound Heaven Sect had a formidable foundation.

Lu Xueqi simply nodded, choosing to remain silent.

...

Chen Feng gazed at the city gate before him with a look of curiosity. Coming from the modern era, he was naturally intrigued by the sight of architecture reminiscent of ancient times.

Chen Feng and Lu Xueqi had been traveling non-stop and only managed to reach the city by evening. The distance between the Profound Heaven Sect and Essence Opening City was considerable, and their journey had been prolonged.

Lu Xueqi observed Chen Feng's curious demeanor but remained quiet herself, as she was not one to engage in much conversation.

Upon entering the city, they were greeted by a bustling scene, with various vendors calling out their wares and people bustling about, many of whom were strong Qi Body Refining Martial Artists.

"That girl is stunning. If I could marry her, I'd give anything!"

Onlookers paused to admire Lu Xueqi's beauty as she passed by. Everyone appreciates a beautiful woman, and even if they couldn't win her over, they were content to feast their eyes.

Another passerby remarked,

"Absolutely, you wouldn't easily find someone as beautiful as her even in the Purple Chu Kingdom. It's just that the guy next to her doesn't quite match up."

Chen Feng may not have been strikingly handsome, but he had a refined appearance and an air of transcendence that made it impossible to consider him unimpressive.

"They must be together. Having this woman stand next to this man is like a flower stuck in cow dung—a total waste!"

Indeed, a beauty was always the center of attention, but no one seemed to be causing trouble. It was just like the scenarios in novels, and Chen Feng was somewhat excited by the prospect. He was eager to test the extent of his current strength.
