Chu Chen hurriedly cupped his hands. "Yes, may I know your name, Senior Sister?"
"Just call me Qingyue. Are you sure you want to be Elder Lingxin's medicine refining assistant?" The green-clothed girl looked at him, and a strange expression suddenly appeared on her elegant face.
Chu Chen's mouth twitched. "May I ask, Senior Sister, what are the requirements for cultivation level for Elder Lingxin's assistant recruitment? I haven't reached the Spirit Water Realm yet … "
Before he finished speaking, Senior Sister Qingyue hurriedly waved her hand. "That's not what I meant. Elder Lingxin doesn't have high requirements for her assistant's cultivation level. She only needs to reach the sixth level of spirit qi. It's just that … just that … "
She stuttered, wanting to say something. Looking around, she pulled Chu Chen to a remote corner and whispered in his ear, "It's just that Elder Lingxin's temperament is a bit unpredictable. Her temper isn't very good, and she's extremely strict. There are already a few good-tempered Senior Brothers who wanted to take on this mission, but they were scolded back by the Elder within two days. I see that you're a bit unfamiliar. You must have just entered the sect. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. "
Chu Chen was stunned. He had never been to the Mission Hall, so he didn't know anyone here.
Hearing this Senior Sister's soft warning, he couldn't help but feel moved. He smiled gratefully. "Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister. Since the Elder issued this mission, she must be in a hurry. Moreover, if I can't complete this mission, won't I implicate Senior Sister to wait here every day? Let me try. Anyway, it's nothing to be scolded a few times. "
Senior Sister Qingyue frowned and thought for a while. Looking at Chu Chen again, she nodded hesitantly. "That's true. Alright then … If Elder Lingxin sees that you're new, she should lower her requirements a bit … Go ahead and give it a try. But don't blame me for not reminding you. You must be careful. Bear with it after being scolded a few times. Don't lose your temper and go against the Elder. That's a serious crime! "
"Senior Sister, don't worry. I know that," Chu Chen said with a smile.
"Hmm, then come with me." Qing Yue waved her hand and walked towards the exit of the hall.
Elder Lingxin's courtyard was located in a remote valley at the top of a small mountain.
According to Senior Sister Qingyue, Elder Lingxin had a bad temper and was extremely reclusive. She did not interact much with the other elders and was used to being alone.
As a result, when she wanted to concoct medicinal pills, she was unable to find anyone to help her. Thus, she could only issue a mission to recruit a medicine concocting assistant.
"Elder Lingxin's alchemy skills are incredible. Even the Sect Master praised you endlessly. If you work hard and gain the Elder's recognition, she will accept you as her personal disciple. Then, you will reach the heavens in a single bound! "
Since she had already led Chu Chen into Elder Lingxin's You Leng Valley, Senior Sister Qingyue could only brace herself to encourage him.
Chu Chen nodded with a smile. However, he was not at ease. He did not care about personal disciples.
With the treasure mountain of Black Fog Valley, he did not care about any orthodoxy or inheritance.
Moreover, a personal disciple could not be chosen casually. As the saying went, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." Many cultivators who had reached a high level of cultivation could easily live for hundreds of years.
However, their parents and relatives could not possibly have such a long lifespan.
Therefore, in the world of cultivators, the relationship between a master and a disciple was stronger and more reliable than the relationship between father and son in the mortal world. It was a true legacy.
When the master was choosing a disciple, the disciple was also choosing a master.
After passing through You Leng Valley, which was paved with bluestones and planted with a few wintersweet plants, he entered Elder Lingxin's ancient hall. A strong medicinal fragrance wafted towards him, causing Chu Chen's body to tremble. He immediately felt refreshed. All his fatigue was swept away.
Looking around, the huge ancient hall was filled with medicine chests, medicine furnaces, medicine cauldrons, medicine basins, and medicine shelves of all sizes. At the center of the hall, a bronze medicinal cauldron that was ten meters tall, embroidered with simple and profound patterns, and emitted a lustrous glow was burning fiercely. Waves of extremely dense medicinal fragrance were being emitted from this bronze medicinal cauldron.
In front of this huge medicine cauldron, a graceful figure was sitting cross-legged with her back facing them. Rays of dazzling light were emitted from her body and entered the medicine cauldron continuously.
Her thin turquoise robe was already soaked with sweat, which made her graceful figure even more alluring.
Chu Chen was about to speak when Senior Sister Qingyue pulled him aside and quietly gestured for him to keep quiet. She stood respectfully at the side of the hall and waited patiently.
When Chu Chen saw this, he also understood that this Elder was at a critical moment in refining medicine and could not be disturbed. Therefore, he stood respectfully at the side with Senior Sister Qingyue and did not dare to move.
After a full two hours, accompanied by a soft sound, the huge medicine cauldron suddenly shone brightly. In the dazzling light, the huge bronze cauldron lid suddenly opened, and balls of dazzling golden light shot up into the sky.
"Good timing!"
With a delicate shout, the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground waved her sleeve, and a blurry light shot out. It instantly caught the golden light in mid-air and kept it in her storage ring.
"This cauldron of 'Jade Blood Golden Pills' is finally refined!"
Accompanied by a tired but joyful voice, the figure sitting cross-legged finally stood up and turned her head.
At that moment, Chu Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
Stunning! Incomparably stunning! What appeared in front of Chu Chen was a beautiful face that seemed to make heaven and earth pale in comparison. She had slender eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and a jade nose. Her face was so exquisite that it was impeccable, as if it was carved out of lustrous white jade.
A head of cloud-like hair poured down like a waterfall, fluttering slightly behind her.
This was an unimaginably beautiful woman. Not only was she beautiful, but her figure was also extremely hot. Under her slender neck, which was as delicate as a swan's, her voluptuous breasts supported an exaggerated arc. Further down, she had a slender waist and firm buttocks, and her legs were round and slender. No matter how one looked at her, there was not a single flaw to be found.
This was Elder Lingxin? She was actually such a young and beautiful woman?
Chu Chen's mouth was wide open in shock. In his mind, the so-called Elders were all powerful and had endless power. They must have the image of an old man with the demeanor of an immortal. However, the woman in front of him looked extremely young. She looked like she was in her twenties. She was only a few years older than Chu Chen. How could she become an Elder?
"Greetings, Elder Lingxin!"
Senior Sister Qingyue saw that the Elder had finished refining the medicine and hurriedly bowed. She turned her head and saw that Chu Chen was still staring blankly at the Elder with a stunned expression. She could not help but feel anxious and pulled him fiercely.
Chu Chen hurriedly cupped his hands. "Yes, may I know your name, Senior Sister?"
"Just call me Qingyue. Are you sure you want to become Elder Lingxin's medicine refining assistant?" The woman in green looked at him a few times. A strange expression suddenly appeared on her elegant face.
Chu Chen's mouth twitched. "May I ask, Senior Sister, what are the cultivation requirements for Elder Lingxin's assistant? I haven't reached the Spirit Water Realm … "
Before he finished speaking, Senior Sister Qingyue hurriedly waved her hand. "That's not what I meant. Elder Lingxin's requirements for her assistant's cultivation are not high. She only needs to reach the sixth level of spirit qi. It's just that … it's just that … "

However, they were scolded by the Elder and turned back after two days. I see that you look a little unfamiliar. You must have just entered the sect not long ago. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. "
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment. He had basically never been to the Mission Hall before. Thus, he almost did not know the people here.
Hearing this Senior Sister's soft warning, he could not help but feel moved. He smiled gratefully. "Thank you for your advice, Senior Sister. It's just that since the Elder issued this mission, she must be in a hurry. Moreover, if I can't complete this mission, won't I implicate Senior Sister to wait here every day? Let me try. Anyway, it's not a big deal to be scolded a few times. "
Senior Sister Qingyue frowned and thought for a while. Looking at Chu Chen again, she nodded hesitantly. "You're right. Alright then … If Elder Lingxin sees that you're new, she should be able to lower her requirements a little … Go ahead and give it a try. However, don't blame me for not reminding you. You must be careful. Bear with it when she scolds you. Don't lose your temper and talk back to the Elder. That's a serious offense! "
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I know that," Chu Chen said with a smile.
"Alright, then follow me." Qingyue waved her hand and walked towards the exit of the hall.
Elder Lingxin's courtyard was in an extremely remote valley at the top of a small mountain.
According to Senior Sister Qingyue, Elder Lingxin had a bad temper and was extremely antisocial. She did not interact much with the other Elders and was used to being alone.
This was also why she could not find anyone to help her when she wanted to refine elixirs. Thus, she could only issue a mission to recruit an assistant for refining elixirs.
"Elder Lingxin's elixir refining skills are extremely impressive. Even the Sect Leader is full of praises. If you work hard and gain the Elder's recognition, she will take you in as her personal disciple. Then, you will have a meteoric rise! "
Since she had brought Chu Chen to Elder Lingxin's You Leng Valley, Senior Sister Qingyue could only brace herself and encourage him.
Chu Chen smiled and nodded. However, he was not at ease. He did not care about becoming a personal disciple.
With the treasure mountain of Black Fog Valley, he did not care about any orthodoxy or inheritance.
Moreover, a personal disciple could not be chosen casually. As the saying went, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." There were many cultivators who had cultivated to a high level and could easily live for hundreds of years.

When the Master was choosing a disciple, the disciple was also choosing a Master.
After passing through You Leng Valley, which was paved with bluestones and planted with a few wintersweet plants, they entered Elder Lingxin's ancient palace. A strong medicinal fragrance assaulted their nostrils. Chu Chen's body trembled and he immediately felt refreshed. All his fatigue was swept away.
Looking around, the huge ancient palace was filled with medicine chests, medicine furnaces, medicine cauldrons, medicine basins, and medicine shelves of various sizes. At the center of the hall, a bronze medicinal cauldron that was ten meters tall, embroidered with simple and profound patterns, and completely emitted a lustrous glow was burning fiercely. Waves of extremely dense medicinal fragrance were being emitted from precisely this bronze medicinal cauldron.
In front of this huge medicine cauldron, a graceful figure was sitting cross-legged with her back facing them. Rays of dazzling light were emitted from her body and entered the medicine cauldron.
Her thin turquoise robe was soaked with sweat, which made her graceful figure even more alluring.
Chu Chen was just about to speak when Senior Sister Qingyue pulled him aside and quietly made a silent gesture. She stood respectfully at the side of the palace and waited patiently.
When Chu Chen saw this, he understood that this Elder was at a critical moment in refining medicine and could not be disturbed. Therefore, he stood respectfully at the side with Senior Sister Qingyue and did not dare to move.
After a full two hours, accompanied by a soft sound, the huge medicine cauldron suddenly shone brightly. In the dazzling light, the huge bronze cauldron lid suddenly opened, and balls of dazzling golden light shot up into the sky.
"Good timing!"
With a delicate rebuke, the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground waved her sleeve, and a misty light burst out. It instantly caught the golden light in midair and kept it into her storage ring.
"This cauldron of Jade Blood Golden Pills is finally refined!"
Accompanied by a tired but joyful voice, the figure sitting cross-legged finally stood up and turned her head.
At that moment, Chu Chen's eyes widened.
Stunning! Incomparably stunning! What appeared in front of Chu Chen was a beautiful face that seemed to make heaven and earth pale in comparison. She had slender eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and a nose. Her face was exquisite and impeccable, as if it was carefully carved out of white jade.
A head of cloud-like hair poured down like a waterfall and fluttered slightly behind her.
This was an unimaginably beautiful woman. Not only was she beautiful, but her figure was also extremely hot.
