Ye Zhen was sure that this Elder Xu did not like her. Was it because she had become the Grand Ancestor's disciple?
It seemed like it was not a good thing for her to become the Grand Ancestor's disciple. There were probably quite a few people in the Great Sage Sect who did not like her.
"Old man Xu, what are you mumbling about? If Ye Zhen wanted to use her identity to pressure you, would she even need the Grand Ancestor? She is now the Grand Ancestor's junior sister! "Elder Mu couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Ye Zhen.
Elder Xu snorted coldly and glared at Elder Mu, as if he was unhappy that he spoke too much, "If you want to stay in the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion, then you have to follow the rules of the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion. There are many disciples who want to learn alchemy, but not everyone has the talent. You have to pass the test."
"Ye Zhen has the Heaven Spirit Root. She can learn anything." Elder Mu said, not letting Elder Xu continue to make things difficult for Ye Zhen.
"So what if she has the Heaven Spirit Root? Those who have not learned the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion have no right to learn alchemy. " Elder Xu said coldly. He didn't dare say that the Grand Ancestor's methods were wrong, but he didn't think much of this little girl called Ye Zhen. So what if she had the Heaven Spirit Root? The Grand Ancestor must have some ulterior motive for not letting her become his teacher.
Furthermore, this Ye Zhen was young, but her methods were brilliant. To the Great Sage Sect, having a disciple like her was a disgrace.
"Elder Xu, how do you know that I haven't learned the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion?" Ye Zhen's attitude was calm. Although she didn't know why Elder Xu didn't like her, she knew that no matter what he said, she couldn't fall out with him.
Elder Mu said, "That's right. Old man Xu, just say it clearly. What do you want?"
"There are many disciples in the Great Sage Sect who want to learn alchemy. If everyone went to the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion to collect spiritual herbs, then the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion would have been emptied long ago. If you want to learn alchemy, you can. Just like the other disciples, you have to complete any tasks in the Spiritual Herbs Pavilion in exchange for our sect's contribution points." Elder Xu said expressionlessly.
"Old man Xu, the Sect Leader has instructed that Ye Zhen can make things easier for you." Elder Mu said.
"It's already very convenient that she didn't start as a medicine boy." Elder Xu coldly said, "The other disciples start as an alchemy apprentice. They learn the Spiritual Grass Chapter and complete tasks before passing the test to become an alchemy apprentice. The rules of the Alchemy Pavilion are very clear. If you are not an alchemy apprentice, you cannot enter to practice alchemy."
"Okay, I'll do the task." Ye Zhen said. Since this was the rule, she would act according to the rules.
Elder Xu glanced at Ye Zhen. He did not expect her to agree so readily.
"Uncle Ye …" Elder Mu looked at Ye Zhen awkwardly. Originally, he thought that Old Man Xu would give him some face since he personally brought him here. Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu was even more stubborn than before.
Ye Rou smiled, "The Supreme Elder said that I can study at Medicine Peak like the other disciples. No matter whose disciple I am, I am still a new disciple of the Great Sage Sect."
"Since that's the case, I'll go do the missions. I'll get contribution points based on the completion of the missions." Elder Xu threw a brocade bag to Ye Zhen. "This is the first task. You don't have any contribution points now. Even if you go to the Alchemy Pavilion, you won't have any spiritual herbs to refine. This is the introduction to alchemy."
Ye Zhen accepted the brocade bag and jade slip. "Thank you, Elder Xu."
After bidding farewell to the two elders, Ye Zhen left Medicine Peak.
Elder Mu pointed at Elder Xu and said in annoyance, "You're just so stubborn. No matter what, she's still a person of the Supreme Elder. What benefits do you get from offending her?"
"The Supreme Elder has lived a peaceful life. If it weren't for this woman … Why would the Supreme Elder do something so foolish?" Elder Xu snorted. "I'm afraid some of the rumours are true. Even if Ye Zhen has a Heavenly Spirit Root, she'll still be a disaster."
Elder Mu lowered his voice and scolded, "Do you really believe that the Supreme Elder made her the disciple of the Great Ancestor so that he could dual cultivate with her in the future? How could the Supreme Elder be like that!? "
"If that's not the case, why didn't the Supreme Elder take her in as a disciple and teach her alchemy? This kind of complicated arrangement is clearly to get rid of the restrictions of seniority. " Elder Xu looked exasperated and helpless. "The Supreme Elder is clearly capable of transcending mortality and entering sainthood. Now that he's been dragged down by this woman, who knows if his cultivation can advance another level."
"I can't continue talking to you. Anyway, I think Ye Zhen is a pretty good child." Elder Mu snorted and left the Spirit Herb Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
Although Ye Zhen had already left Medicine Peak, she could still hear the conversation between Elder Xu and Elder Mu. So this was the reason why Elder Xu did not like her.
"Little bird, have there been any rumours in the Great Sage Sect recently?" Ye Zhen asked. Ever since she returned, she had always been on Mount Xingyun and had not seen anyone else. She did not know what was going on outside.
"Nothing." Fire Phoenix's eyes flashed. She thought to herself, Oh no, Ye Zhen actually found out. If she knew how the disciples of the Great Sage Sect had spread the news that she had become the Great Ancestor's disciple, she would probably die from anger.
Ye Zhen said indifferently, "Don't think I don't know that you often ask Ye Muxin for fruits to eat. What's going on?"
Fire Phoenix howled. "Actually, it's really nothing. Ye Mulan spread the news on purpose. She said that the Supreme Elder is so good to you because you have the Communication Phoenix Chalcedony, and wants … wants to dual cultivate with you in the future. That's why he doesn't accept you as his disciple, afraid that there will be a seniority limit."
"What?" Ye Zhen's face sank immediately. Although she didn't understand the specifics of dual cultivation, she had already understood the role of her special physique when Zhuo Ming tried to rob her last time. Ye Mulan would not give up until she destroyed her innocence.
"I've already taught Ye Mulan a lesson for you!" Fire Phoenix shouted valiantly. Knowing that Ye Mulan was slandering Ye Zhen outside, it had already gone to teach that woman a lesson and burned off her hair. Now, Ye Mulan was bald.
Hair burned off by the multicolored flames would not grow back so easily.
"That's not the point!" Ye Zhen frowned. "Forget it. The innocent will know their innocence. There's no need to care about what those people say."
Fire Phoenix muttered in its heart. Ye Zhen was naturally innocent, but it did not trust the Supreme.
In fact, it was somewhat suspicious of the Supreme's intentions. He seemed to be … too good to Ye Zhen. It always felt that there was some ulterior motive.
"Actually, even if you don't go to Medicine Peak, you can still learn alchemy. Let's go to Haotian City. There are more spirit herbs there than here." Fire Phoenix instigated. It could not bear to see Ye Zhen suffer here.
Ye Zhen glanced at it indifferently. "Why should I go to Haotian City?"
"Aren't you concerned about the City Lord? Let's go to Haotian City. If there's news of the City Lord, we'll be the first to know, "Fire Phoenix cried.
"Go back to the space. Without my summons, don't even think about coming out," Ye Zhen said indifferently.
"…" Fire Phoenix howled. "Why, why? What did I say?"
