Chapter 47: Jiang Zhishi Jiang!

"Miss Wen? You're back!"

Hearing the voice from outside the door, Jiang Ye's spirit was lifted, and he immediately tucked the Poison Controlling Scripture into his bosom and went to open the door.

Only to see Wen Yueyao standing at the door, her sweet oval face not only heroic but also carrying a hint of being travel-worn, the injury on her shoulder had already been treated, and it looked like there was no major problem.

"Yes, the matter is handled, so I came back, thinking the old sir might be in a hurry, so I came to find you as soon as I returned to the sect."

Wen Yueyao smiled heartily.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Wen."

Jiang Ye smiled and bowed slightly.

"Let's go, old sir, I'll take you to Dwelling Shanfeng to handle the sect entry matters first."

Wen Yueyao was still as decisive as ever, directly taking Jiang Ye away from the guest house and heading toward the inner sect.

Jiang Ye followed Wen Yueyao through a bamboo forest, and the scene in front of him changed again.

It was no longer pavilions and halls, but six majestic mountain peaks, rising from the ground and piercing the clouds.

Six mountain peaks, six kinds of weather.

The one on the far left had a pale golden mountain body, shining brightly in the sun, as if the whole mountain was cast from gold and iron.

At the top of the mountain, a majestic hall with golden tiles and red pillars was magnificent, with a sharp aura faintly rushing toward them; this was Golden Star Shanfeng.

The second one next to it was covered with lush pine and cypress, lush and full of vitality, with crane cries occasionally coming; this was Green Wood Shanfeng.

The third one was the most peculiar; half of it was actually hidden in the clouds and mist, as if shrouded by some invisible force, making it unclear. The "Profound Water Shanfeng" stone tablet standing at the foot of the mountain appeared and disappeared in the mist, exuding a bit of mystery and depth.

The fourth one was Wen Yueyao's Heavenly Yang Shanfeng, with steep terrain and jagged rocks, and firelight flickering on the mountainside, faintly visible with several tripods burning fiercely; even from a distance, one could feel the scorching aura rushing toward them.

The fifth one had gentle terrain, planted with exotic flowers and plants, colorful and fragrant; this was Thick Earth Shanfeng.

The sixth one in the middle was the most majestic and solemn.

It didn't have the distinct weather of the first five peaks, but it had a majesty that commanded the peaks.

At the top of the mountain, an ancient hall stood quietly, with flying eaves and bucket arches, carved beams and painted buildings, appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist, as if it were an immortal's residence.

That was Dwelling Shanfeng, where the Sect Master resided, and also the core hub of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Six mountain peaks, like six silent giants, looking down at the common people at their feet.

Between the peaks, there were iron chain bridges connected, and faint clouds and mist lingered between them, rendering the entire mountain range like a fairyland.

Jiang Ye stood at the edge of the bamboo forest, speechless for a long time.

He had seen the market fireworks of Anxi County and the majestic city walls of Yunling Prefecture, but looking at these six mountain peaks piercing the clouds, looking at the clouds and mist, and the cranes dancing, he truly realized what a sect foundation was.

"Old sir, please this way."

Wen Yueyao turned back, and seeing him stunned, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

She had seen too many people coming to the inner sect for the first time show such an expression and was long used to it.

The weather of those six majestic mountain peaks was enough to make anyone's heart tremble when they first saw it.

Jiang Ye shook his head slightly, suppressed the shock in his heart, and stepped to follow.

Not long after, Wen Yueyao brought Jiang Ye to the foot of Dwelling Shanfeng; along the way, they also met many disciples.

Regardless of age, seeing Wen Yueyao, they basically greeted her politely and called her Senior Sister Wen.

Wen Yueyao nodded and responded one by one, neither arrogant nor deliberately friendly, and her demeanor naturally carried the composed bearing of an inner sect disciple.

This made Jiang Ye look at Wen Yueyao even more highly.

The two walked fast, and in less than half a cup of incense's time, they arrived at the mountainside.

The terrain ahead suddenly opened up, and an ancient hall stood quietly on a wide stone platform.

"This is it."

Wen Yueyao pointed her finger.

Jiang Ye followed her gaze, only to see three large characters written in a dragon-flying and phoenix-dancing style hanging on the wooden plaque above the hall door—"Siding Hall".

The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, with the rigidity of iron-painted silver hooks.

The two stepped into the hall.

The furnishings in the hall were simple but solemn.

Facing the door was a wide black wood table, and behind the table sat a middle-aged man wearing a light green long robe.

He was about fifty years old, with a clear face and three long beards under his chin, currently closing his eyes, as if resting.

"Embracing the Pill Realm?!"

Jiang Ye's pupils shrank suddenly.

The aura inadvertently emitted by this person was far above Liu Qingshi's, and there was a faint sense of sharpness.

Without a doubt, this must be a strong person in the Embracing the Pill Realm.

This was the first time he had seen a strong person at this level since entering the Profound Heaven Sect.

Clearly, within the vast Profound Heaven Sect, strong people at this level also belonged to the backbone.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense something and opened his eyes. After seeing Wen Yueyao's figure, a polite smile appeared on his face, he stood up, and said:

"True Disciple Wen, why are you free to come to my Siding Hall today? I have heard that you went to Anxi County to eliminate demons this time and cleaned up Black Fifth, who had done all kinds of evil; you are truly a hero of the younger generation."

Wen Yueyao smiled faintly, stepped aside neither humbly nor arrogantly, and let out Jiang Ye behind her, her voice crisp:

"Elder Gongsun is too kind. Actually, being able to eliminate Black Fifth is not my credit alone; it is thanks to the help of this Old Jiang."

"Oh?"

Gongsun Hong's gaze fell on Jiang Ye, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He sized up this old man with gray hair and a tall, thin figure, secretly guessing in his heart that this person's aura was seamless, and even he couldn't see through his depth for a while.

"Should be the strength of Transformation of Force Shanfeng, and also practiced the technique of restraining Qi..."

Gongsun Hong judged quickly in his heart, but a smile had already piled up on his face, and he said politely:

"Old Jiang is truly a righteous person! Being able to join hands with a true disciple of our Profound Heaven Sect to eliminate demons is truly fate!"

Wen Yueyao was an impatient person; seeing Gongsun Hong still wanting to be polite, she walked up directly and whispered a few words in his ear.

Her voice was extremely low, and Jiang Ye only faintly heard words like "life-saving grace", "arrange a deacon", and "guard the herb garden".

Gongsun Hong listened and nodded repeatedly, the smile on his face becoming more and more gentle.

He turned to Jiang Ye and said loudly:

"With True Disciple Wen personally guaranteeing, those complicated procedures will be directly exempted. I will handle the sect entry procedures immediately. Age is not a problem. For a righteous person like Old Jiang who is willing to eliminate demons for the people, our Profound Heaven Sect is eager to have him!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ye was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise flashed in his aged eyes.

It was one thing for those disciples to be respectful to Wen Yueyao, but he didn't expect even an Elder in the Pill Condensation Realm to be so polite to her.

This true disciple's status is really too big.

Gongsun Hong moved extremely fast, immediately spread out a roll of silk, dipped his pen in ink, and filled it out with a "swish, swish, swish".

A moment later, he stamped the seal and handed a document with wet ink to Wen Yueyao for review, then called out to the door:

"Someone!"

A disciple guarding outside the hall walked in quickly.

Gongsun Hong ordered: "Go to the warehouse and get a set of new deacon attire."

The disciple took the order and left, returning not long after with a tray.

On the tray, a set of azure long robes was neatly folded, the fabric tough, the stitches dense, and a simple "Jiang Zhishi" pattern embroidered on the chest.

Gongsun Hong took out another black iron token from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Ye with both hands, full of smiles: "Old Jiang, congratulations! From this moment on, you are an official deacon of our Profound Heaven Sect! You can receive 1,000 contribution points every month."

"Thank you, Elder Gongsun."

Jiang Ye took the token and looked down at it carefully.

The token was about the size of a palm, heavy in his hand, clearly slightly lighter than Wen Yueyao's true disciple token.

"Jiang Zhishi" was engraved on the front, the brushwork vigorous, and the back was the logo of the Profound Heaven Sect.

He gripped the token tightly, and a hint of an extremely faint smile finally appeared on his aged face.

He could also be considered a person with a position.
