Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Entering the Flame Hall
After leaving the back hall, Xiao Yi did not linger in the Medicine Venerate Hall Branch and left directly.
Behind him, the Chief Steward watched Xiao Yi’s departing figure, frowning, "This guy, truly a strange character."
...
At the city gate, Xiao Yi left directly.
He also did not plan to stay in Medicine Life City for long.
The City Guard Army clearly recognized him.
The Captain leading them sneered, "Kid, why are you leaving already?"
"It’s not even been three days yet."
"What, have you run out of money, feeling embarrassed, afraid we will drive you out when the time comes?"
Xiao Yi did not speak, really too lazy to respond, and proceeded straight out of the city gate.
Behind him, a few City Guard members laughed disdainfully, "This kid dares to enjoy the city’s protection without money, serving himself right for disappointment."
Once Xiao Yi was out of sight, the City Guard Army continued guarding the city gate as usual.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed over quickly.
"Who goes there?" the City Guard reflexively shouted coldly.
When they saw who it was, the faces of the City Guard members changed.
"It’s the Medicine Housekeeper, what brings you here?"
All the City Guard members displayed a flattering expression.
"Did a young man with a mask just leave?" the Medicine Housekeeper asked quickly.
"That young man wore sturdy clothing, wasn’t talkative, exuded a cold aura, quite recognizable."
"Uh... could it be that kid?" The City Guard Captain showed doubt.
"What’s wrong?" The Medicine Housekeeper frowned, feeling instinctively that something wasn’t right.
Beside him, a City Guard explained briefly.
"What?" The Medicine Housekeeper’s face instantly turned cold.
"I came rushing to inform you to return the city entrance fee to Master Yi Xiao."
"How dare you ridicule and mock him?"
"Please calm down, Medicine Housekeeper." All the City Guard members hurriedly bowed, their faces showing fear.
"Nonsense." The Medicine Housekeeper scolded coldly, "After today, you will go back to the City Lord’s Mansion to receive your punishment."
...
Outside Medicine Life City, Xiao Yi walked quickly, planning to head to the next big city.
He now held the title of Deacon in the Medicine Venerate Hall.
And the task points gained from killing Yu Tai were also used up.
The Medicine Venerate Hall encompasses alchemists from all over the world.
Within the hall, there are countless rare pill recipes, as well as various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and materials.
Just like before in the Demon Hunting Hall, if you need to exchange for cultivation techniques, martial techniques, or treasures, you need task points.
The Medicine Venerate Hall is the same; to exchange for pill recipes and materials, task points are needed, and at the same time, the higher the grade of the exchange, the higher the title required.
There are some extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are hard to come by outside. If needed in the future, when his title is elevated and his achievements are greater, he can go directly to the Medicine Venerate Hall to exchange them.
This can save him a lot of trouble.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s steps suddenly halted, and he frowned.
A flash of light in his hand, he took out the Task Scroll.
This is the Task Scroll from the Black Cloud Academy, filled with numerous tasks.
"Acting with my current identity, I’m afraid many tasks cannot be completed." Xiao Yi frowned tightly.
His current identity is as a Martial Artist of the Demon Hunting Hall and also a Martial Artist of the Medicine Venerate Hall.
And the academy’s multitude of tasks involves the Eight Palaces.
Non-palace Martial Artists simply have no rights to handle these tasks.
If he revealed his true face and his identity as a Black Cloud Academy disciple, Xiao Yi could complete them all.
However, Cang Yue might track him down at any time.
Xiao Yi looked at the tasks on the Task Scroll, frowning, "The tasks I can handle are only from the Demon Hunting Hall and the Medicine Venerate Hall."
"The Demon Hunting Hall and the Medicine Venerate Hall are part of the Alliance Hall, and besides that..."
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, "There’s also one more alliance hall, the Flame Hall."
Xiao Yi nodded, smiling slightly, "The tasks from these three halls are enough to keep me busy for a long time."
The Demon Hunting Hall, Medicine Venerate Hall, and Flame Hall are alliance halls.
The Martial Artists within the halls can hold multiple titles.
It is common for Martial Artists of the three halls to jointly perform tasks.
Of course, Martial Artists holding titles from all three halls are very rare.
Mainly because Martial Artists within the halls need to complete enough tasks at intervals to maintain their titles.
Holding titles from the three halls triples the task workload.
Martial Artists focus on cultivation, and few have the luxury of completing tasks continuously for a title.
Only Xiao Yi completes various tasks with a sweeping force and trains daily, traveling outside, giving him enough time to complete so many tasks.
Xiao Yi glanced at the Task Scroll, "Apart from the tasks from these three halls, the tasks from the other halls will be temporarily set aside."
Xiao Yi made up his mind and put away the Task Scroll.
The original direction of his journey suddenly changed.
A day later, he stopped in front of another major city.
Upon entering the city, Xiao Yi headed straight toward the Flame Hall Branch.
Within the Flame Hall, in a corner, Xiao Yi expressed his intention directly, applying to join the Flame Hall.
In the back hall, a Flame Hall Deacon looked directly at Xiao Yi, "Kid, the assessment begins; to join the Flame Hall, first, you must be a Fire Control Warrior."
"Secondly, let’s see your fire control skills..."
The Deacon hadn’t finished speaking.
Bang... A wave of scorching heat instantly filled the entire back hall.
"The world’s formidable flame, the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame?" The Deacon looked startled.
The Flame Hall is famous for its Fire Control Warriors.
The deacons within the Flame Hall are naturally highly skilled Fire Control Warriors, thus immediately recognized the Purple Crystal Spirit Flame.
"Do I need to do any other assessments?" Xiao Yi asked.
"No need." The Deacon quickly waved his hand, "Easily condensing and controlling the world’s formidable flame, such fire control skills are already extremely powerful."
"Come, follow me to fill out some information, and then you can directly join the Flame Hall."
Xiao Yi nodded.
Minutes later, after completing the information record, a token representing the identity of a Flame Hall Warrior was handed to Xiao Yi.
However, the information recorded on this token was only for a Level 1 Fire Envoy.
Unlike the Medicine Venerate Hall, the Medicine Venerate Hall’s assessment directly assigns levels based on the Alchemist’s refining grade.
Other halls, such as the Flame Hall and Demon Hunting Hall, require tasks to improve the level.
Thus, one starts as only a Level 1 Fire Envoy.
Xiao Yi took the token and was about to leave.
Behind him, the Deacon frowned, "Hmm? Yi Xiao? Why does this name seem familiar?"
Next to him, a Martial Artist within the hall chuckled, "This Yi Xiao is the Alchemist who gained fame in Medicine Life City just a day ago."
"He may be a Medicine Envoy of the Medicine Venerate Hall, but since the Medicine Venerate Hall and our Flame Hall are alliance halls, joining our Flame Hall is possible."
"No." The Deacon shook his head, "I know Yi Xiao’s fame has spread across the nearby big cities since yesterday."
"But I remember seeing this name in some report, seemingly from quite a far region."
"Oh?" The Martial Artist beside showed doubt.
"Our Flame Hall constantly monitors the heavenly talents in the fire cultivation path across regions, having intelligence on such person is normal."
"Forget it." The Deacon shook his head, "I am too lazy to delve deeper."
...
Third update.
Today’s update, done.
