However, just as Bai Lu was immersed in her self-criticism, Xing Jue's voice suddenly rang out beside her ear. "Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Xing Jue had already come out, Bai Lu hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and pretended to be happy as she asked.
"Xing Jue, why did you come out so quickly?"
Bai Lu knew that Xing Jue had entered the sixth-tier elixir area. Ignoring the fact that it was in the depths of the elixir forest, just the level of danger alone made it impossible for him to come out so quickly.
However, Xing Jue was standing in front of her unscathed and smiling. This made Bai Lu realize that Xing Jue had most likely succeeded.
"I was afraid that you would get anxious waiting, so I came out quickly. Don't worry, I have already obtained your sixth-tier body-tempering essence." Xing Jue smiled.
"Xing Jue, my young friend, how was your harvest?" At that moment, a familiar old man's voice suddenly rang out from behind Xing Jue.
Turning around, it turned out to be Elder Li, who had received Xing Jue. Furthermore, there were a few other elders beside Elder Li.
There were both men and women among these elders, and their strength was all at the Shura level. Right now, they were all striding toward Xing Jue.
The few elders that Xing Jue didn't recognize had evidently heard Elder Li say something, so they were all looking at Xing Jue with fervent gazes. It seemed like they really wanted to see what kind of spoils Xing Jue had obtained.
"Xing Jue greets the elders!"
Xing Jue took the initiative to walk forward and first bowed to the elders. Then, he hurriedly took off the storage bracelet in his hand and handed it to Elder Li.
While Elder Li was checking Xing Jue's storage bracelet to see what Xing Jue had obtained, another elder removed the seal on Xing Jue's storage bracelet and the Soul Devouring Order.
"Xing Jue, you killed a seventh stage Pill Beast?"
At this moment, the few elders' faces turned ashen as they looked at Xing Jue with complicated expressions.
The reason why the elders reacted in such a manner was because they had discovered the rank seven immortal herbs in the storage bracelets.
As elders of the Sacred Alliance, they knew how powerful the pill beast guarding the Level Seven immortal herb was. That was also the reason why they found it unbelievable.
"Yes."
The evidence was there. Xing Jue had to admit it even if he didn't want to, so he nodded calmly.
"Haha, good. Well done. As expected of a disciple who has obtained the recognition of a top-grade aptitude."
After receiving Xing Jue's reply, not only were the few elders stunned, but Elder Li even patted Xing Jue's shoulder excitedly.
In fact, with Elder Li's thunderous voice, Xing Jue had already become the focus of everyone's attention outside the Pill Forest.
Regardless whether it was a disciple or an elder, they all heard about the matter of the Punishment Execution killing a Tier 7 pill beast.
At this moment, everyone looked at Xing Jue with a strange gaze. However, the strangeness was filled with jealousy, envy, surprise, and other complicated emotions.
After transferring the items he obtained from the Pill Forest to the Soul Devouring Order, Xing Jue left the Pill Forest with Elder Li under everyone's heated and amazed gazes.
"Xing Jue, thank you."
Bai Lu, who was holding two bottles of Level Six Body Tempering Essence, had a complicated expression as she watched Xing Jue leave.
"Big Brother, what should we do? I didn't think that Xing Jue would receive the favor of so many elders. Looks like he won't be easy to deal with. "
At the same time, in a corner of the crowd, a few junior disciples with swollen faces were discussing in low voices. They were all members of the Dao Clan, and a few of them had been taught a lesson by Xing Jue.
"Don't worry. Favor doesn't mean protection. Furthermore, the Dao Clan's influence in the Sacred Alliance isn't limited to disciples. There are also many seniors of the Dao Clan among the elders."
"Once I invite my cousin over again, I'll force Xing Jue to sign the Life and Death Contract, then I'll cripple him in the Life and Death Arena."
"So what if he receives the favor then? He'll become a cripple. Will those elders deal with us for a cripple? "
"Furthermore, even if those old fellows want to deal with us, the seniors of the Dao Clan will definitely not sit idly by."
"Therefore, Xing Jue's fate will be the same as Bai He's. He'll be kicked out of the Sacred Alliance."
A sinister look appeared in the eyes of the male leader of the Dao Clan, even though he wasn't the one being beaten up today.
He had flirted with Bai Lu twice, yet he was suppressed by Xing Jue each time. This made him hold a grudge in his heart, and he swore to kill Xing Jue.
Elder Li personally escorted Xing Jue away. This showed how much importance he placed on Xing Jue. Furthermore, Elder Li even sent a female servant to Xing Jue's residence to serve Xing Jue in the future.
This kind of treatment could be said to be one of a kind in the entire residential area. Torture Absolute Land was an exception.
However, Elder Li was in charge of the residence district, so it could be said that he had the final say here. Furthermore, Xing Jue also deserved this special treatment.
Therefore, many people could only be envious, jealous, and hateful, but there was nothing they could do. After all, Xing Jue had already become a disciple that Elder Li admired.
At this moment, Elder Li was still in Xing Jue's residence. Disregarding his status, he was drinking with Xing Jue.
In reality, he wanted to take this opportunity to ask about Xing Jue's experiences in the Pill Forest in detail. He wanted to clearly understand how Xing Jue had defeated the rank seven pill beast.
"Elder Li, may disciples of the Sacred Alliance be allowed to refine pills in the Medicine Refinement Department?" Xing Jue asked with a smile when he saw that Elder Li was in high spirits.
"Medicine Refinement Department? Young friend Xing Jue, could it be that you want to refine pills? "Elder Li revealed a surprised expression. He could hear the hidden meaning in Xing Jue's words.
"To be honest, Elder Li, Xing Jue wants to refine pills. However, the physique of a rank six immortal herb is tough and ordinary flames can't refine it."
"Therefore, Xing Jue wants to borrow the fire seed of the Medicine Refinement Department to refine pills. Is it possible?"
Although the Hellfire that Xing Jue possessed was powerful, it was not the source of the fire seed. Therefore, after refining the rank six pill, it had already been used up. If he were to refine pills now, it would be difficult for him to do so.
Thinking about it, the Medicine Refinement Department of the Sacred Alliance could even refine rank seven pills, so there must be a special flame. Therefore, Xing Jue wanted to borrow it.
"This … Xing Jue, although there is no prohibition, it doesn't seem to be allowed because no one has done such a thing before."
"How about this, wait for me for a moment. Allow me to ask the Lord of the Punishment Department." Elder Li replied after a moment of consideration.
"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Li."
"It's alright. The Sacred Alliance should nurture a disciple like you with all their might."
"Wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back." Elder Li smiled, then merged into the space and disappeared from the courtyard.
"It seems like I have gained the recognition of the Sacred Alliance." After Elder Li left, the corner of Xing Jue's mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Actually, the execution just now was just a test, to test Elder Li's bottom line.
He knew that an elder would definitely not ask the Lord of the Punishment Department for a junior disciple.
However, Xing Jue was different. As for why, Xing Jue knew very well that he was from the Soul Eater Clan.
Xing Jue knew that the higher-ups of the Sacred Alliance already knew that he was from the Soul Eater Clan. Therefore, Xing Jue wanted to test the Sacred Alliance's attitude towards him through Elder Li.
From the looks of it, the outcome was satisfactory. At the very least, it seemed that Xing Jue was valued by the Sacred Alliance.
The Punishment Department was one of the strongest organizations in the Sacred Alliance.
He was strong not only because he controlled the laws of the Sacred Alliance, but also because he had gathered the strongest forces in the Sacred Alliance.
The strength of the Punishment Department's Punishment Lord could definitely be ranked in the top three in the Western Branch Prefecture of the Sacred Alliance.
Inside the Punishment Department, in a tall and majestic palace, the grey-haired elder who tested Xing Jue's aptitude was writing something.
He was the person in charge of the Punishment Department, the legendary Lord of Punishment!
Buzz.
"This subordinate greets milord." Just at that moment, Elder Li silently appeared in the room.
"Elder Li, how was Xing Jue's result this time?" After seeing Elder Li, the Lord of Punishment put down the brush in his hand and asked with a smile.
"Lord, that Xing Jue is really impressive. Even I can't believe it. With the strength of a mid-level Asura Martial God, Xing Jue defeated a rank seven pill beast and obtained a rank seven immortal herb," Elder Li reported excitedly.
"Oh? Not bad, this kid didn't disappoint me. He has exceeded my expectations. "
After hearing Elder Li's words, the Lord of Punishment smiled even more happily. He stroked his grey beard and displayed a satisfied attitude.
"My Lord, I have never seen Xing Jue's talent or battle prowess before."
"Such an outstanding talent like him, which clan did he come from? Don't tell me he's from an ancient clan from the Eastern Sacred Region? "
"But don't those clans disdain to send their clansmen to the Sacred Alliance?" Elder Li asked in confusion.
In reality, he was secretly protecting Xing Jue under the Lord of Punishment's order. However, the closer he got to Xing Jue, the more he felt that Xing Jue was extraordinary. He was curious about his clan.
"Hmph, what's so great about those clans? It's just the battle that helped them achieve their current status. "
"Xing Jue is not from those clans. As for his identity, you will find out in the future. Don't ask any more questions," the Lord of Punishment replied.
Elder Li was someone who had lived for hundreds of years after all. He naturally understood the meaning behind the Lord of Punishment's words. Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, he continued to report, "Lord, Xing Jue obtained a seventh rank herb and wants to brew his own Dan. He wants to borrow a fire source from the Alchemy Department. I wonder if you will allow him to do so."
"Oh? Xing Jue has such exquisite alchemy skills? He can brew a seventh rank Dan on his own? "The Lord of Punishment was surprised.
"I'm not too sure. But since he made such a request, I'm sure he has a certain level of alchemy skills," Elder Li replied.
"Good, he's an all-rounder."
"Elder Li, take my Order of Punishment and accompany Xing Jue to the Alchemy Department to borrow a fire source."
"Also, you don't have to return this Order of Punishment to me. Keep it with you. Remember, you must protect Xing Jue's safety."
The Lord of Punishment took out a black iron order and passed it to Elder Li.
The Black Iron Order was made of Dark Flame Diamond. It was indestructible and glowed faintly.
Most importantly, other than the Sacred Alliance, there was also the words "Punishment, anyone who resists will be beheaded!" written on the Black Iron Order.
"Yes, Lord!" Elder Li was overjoyed when he received the Order of Punishment. In the Sacred Alliance, this Order of Punishment was a life-saving trump card!
