Mount Song Sect, venue of the grand ceremony.
Zhang Xuan, who was invited by Yun Zhongtian, looked at the serious Yun Zhongtian with a smile and said lightly,
"I need some medicinal herbs. If you can help me gather all of them, I promise to join the Mount Song Sect."
Zhang Xuan did not care about the title of an elder of Mount Song Sect. However, he could save a lot of time by using Mount Song Sect to gather medicinal herbs.
Although he had an endless lifespan and did not lack time, he was looking forward to seeing how useful the Immortal Ascension Pill was.
The earlier he could refine it, the earlier Zhang Xuan would know the effects of the Immortal Ascension Pill. From there, he would have more clues about whether there were immortals in this world.
After all, ordinary pills' effects were limited for martial arts practitioners, especially at the Connate realm. There were almost no pills that could be of use to them.
Zhang Xuan wanted to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill the most. It was also for this reason that he agreed to Yun Zhongtian's invitation and decided to join the Mount Song Sect.
As for the alliance between Mount Song Sect and the major sects, as well as the conflict with the imperial court, Zhang Xuan did not care.
He would only act according to his wishes. When he was needed, Zhang Xuan would intervene, but he would never meddle in other people's business.
Hearing this, Yun Zhongtian's expression instantly became a little strange.
That's all?
When he heard Zhang Xuan had a request, Yun Zhongtian subconsciously thought that it would be a very difficult request.
However, he did not expect that Zhang Xuan only needed the Mount Song Sect to help him collect medicinal herbs.
This was nothing to the Mount Song Sect, one of the largest pugilistic world sects in the Great Zhou Empire.
Moreover, with the influence of the Mount Song Sect, there were too many connections that they could use to find medicinal herbs.
"No problem. The Mount Song Sect will definitely do its best to help you gather all the necessary herbs."
Yun Zhongtian nodded without even thinking.
Although he was very curious about what Zhang Xuan was collecting herbs for, he did not ask.
He knew very well that Zhang Xuan had already said what he wanted to say.
Since Zhang Xuan didn't say anything, it meant that Zhang Xuan didn't want him to know. Even if he asked, Zhang Xuan wouldn't tell him. Moreover, Zhang Xuan would be dissatisfied with him.
At Yun Zhongtian's level, he knew better than anyone what to say and what not to say.
"Since Sect Master Yun is so straightforward, I'll stay in Mount Song Sect."
Zhang Xuan didn't say anything else and agreed to stay.
Yun Zhongtian was very happy to hear that Zhang Xuan agreed to stay in the Mount Song Sect as an elder. He immediately arranged a place for Zhang Xuan to stay.
As one of the largest pugilistic world sects in the Great Zhou Empire, the residence of ordinary disciples was very good. As an elder of the Mount Song Sect, Zhang Xuan's residence was naturally better than that of ordinary disciples. It was a courtyard with pavilions, artificial mountains, and pools. It was twice as strong as the residence of the chief escort of the Dragon Gate Escort Agency, He Yushan.
Although Zhang Xuan didn't care about this, he was still very satisfied. After all, he had been here for a long time and had always been busy. Now, he could finally enjoy himself for a short while.
The night passed uneventfully. Early the next morning, Yun Zhongtian gathered the disciples of the Mount Song Sect and announced in public,
"From today onwards, Zhang Xuan is the First Elder of Mount Song Sect. His authority is only inferior to mine."
Yun Zhongtian's words immediately attracted various discussions from the disciples of the Mount Song Sect.
The few disciples who had seen Zhang Xuan's methods previously had no objections to Zhang Xuan becoming an Elder of the Mount Song Sect. However, most of the disciples did not know Zhang Xuan and were very curious about him.
In particular, a few elders, who were the first-rate experts of the Mount Song Sect, were dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan's sudden appearance.
After the first-rate experts elders looked at each other, one of them looked at Zhang Xuan and asked,
"Sect Master, the position of elder should be given to those who have contributed to the sect. I wonder what he has done to the Mount Song Sect?"
Many people agreed with his words. It was obvious that they did not agree with Zhang Xuan becoming the First Elder.
However, before figuring out Zhang Xuan's identity, although these people were dissatisfied, they did not show any hostility towards Zhang Xuan.
After all, a person that Yun Zhongtian thought highly of was definitely not simple. However, they still had to raise their doubts when it was time.
Yun Zhongtian was not angry about this. When he decided to announce this news, he had already guessed that this scene would happen.
However, if he wanted the disciples of the Mount Song Sect to be convinced by Zhang Xuan, it was obviously useless to rely on him to explain. He still needed Zhang Xuan to prove it himself.
Under everyone's doubtful gazes, Yun Zhongtian did not explain. Instead, he looked at Zhang Xuan.
Seeing Yun Zhongtian's gaze, Zhang Xuan immediately understood what he meant.
Although he was used to keeping a low profile, Zhang Xuan would not hesitate when it was time to attack.
After all, he was going to stay with the Mount Song Sect for a period of time and prove that he was qualified to be an elder in front of everyone. It would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
"I haven't made any contributions to the Mount Song Sect yet, but I should be able to help if there's a crisis that the Mount Song Sect can't resolve."
Zhang Xuan stood up and glanced at the people who doubted him. He smiled confidently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuan casually waved his hand, and a big tree not far away suddenly fell with a muffled sound.
Releasing internal energy?
This scene shocked everyone present. Their eyes flashed with unconcealable shock and disbelief. The space suddenly fell silent.
"A Connate Realm expert!"
In the next moment, an exclamation broke the silence, as if it had caused a chain reaction. Everyone present gasped.
Only Connate Realm experts could release internal energy!
No one expected that Zhang Xuan, who looked ordinary, was actually at the Connate Realm like Sect Master Yun.
It was no wonder that Sect Master Yun gave him the position of the First Elder. Zhang Xuan could definitely bear the responsibility.
Those who originally doubted Zhang Xuan became excited and overjoyed.
With a Connate Realm expert like Zhang Xuan joining the Mount Song Sect, the Mount Song Sect's strength had greatly improved and it had become the number one sect in the martial arts world!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhang Xuan only smiled and did not care.
He had exposed his Connate realm strength in front of everyone not to intimidate these people, but to save himself some trouble.
What he really cared about was his pill refinement plan!
"If anyone else has any objections, you can raise them."
Yun Zhongtian looked at everyone and asked indifferently.
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads. It was the Mount Song Sect's honor for a Connate expert to join. Who dared to have any objections?
Previously, they doubted Zhang Xuan because they did not know him and his background. Now that they knew that Zhang Xuan was a Connate Realm expert, wasn't this embarrassing themselves if they still objected?
Seeing that no one objected, Yun Zhongtian nodded in satisfaction and said a few simple words before leaving with Zhang Xuan.
"Brother Zhang, which medicinal herbs do you need?"
After returning to his room, Yun Zhongtian took the initiative to ask.
Zhang Xuan took out a prepared drawing. On it were the herbs needed to refine the Immortal Ascension Pill.
Of course, out of caution, Zhang Xuan mixed some other medicinal ingredients in these medicinal ingredients to prevent the recipe from being leaked.
