Chapter 3432: Return to the Sect

Fortunately, the weaponsmith Chen Yueying found was very capable; without letting Ye Liuyun spend much time refining, they raised the grade of the gilded armor to Void Rank Six.

Chen Yueying also went over to greet Ye Liuyun and handed him the finished armor.

"Void Rank Six?" Ye Liuyun hadn't expected it; this armor had actually been upgraded to such a high grade, and he had thought reaching Void Rank Four would be enough.

"You must have spent a lot of money, right?" He then asked Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying didn't tell him how much it cost, just smiling: "You even gave me one; I'm not short on this bit of money, so don't quibble with me over it. Hurry up and put it on—good thing you don't have a high‑grade defensive treasure."

In fact, she really couldn't afford this money; she had asked her father for help, saying that Ye Liuyun had given her a set of gilded clothing that needed its grade raised. As repayment, she also happened to help Ye Liuyun with a favor.

Seeing Ye Liuyun actually willing to take out such a treasure and give it to his daughter, Chen Haisheng was immediately pleased and agreed, helping to pay the cost.

"This really puts you to expense!" Ye Liuyun also said gratefully.

Chen Yueying said somewhat shyly: "Why be so polite with me? Hurry up and put it on—we're leaving right away!"

"All right!" Ye Liuyun didn't say more, just kept this favor in mind. He immediately put on the clothing outside, changing it into guard's attire, so as not to attract attention when following Chen Yueying back to the sect.

He stored the other gilded armors in the Space World and returned them to Lei Ming and the others.

Then he went to greet Liao Yaotian and the others. As inner disciples of the Thousand Spirit Sect are allowed to bring maids, servants, and guards, they also had to move along with them.

This time they encountered no delay on the road. Mainly, Ye Liuyun was eager to quickly take a sect mission to exchange for resources, since he truly had none left for cultivation.

Ye Ling did have some Taixu Divine Crystals in hand, but those were reserved for her to absorb and produce more crystals, so Ye Liuyun couldn't use them.

Chen Yueying also knew Ye Liuyun's resources were insufficient, so she directly brought them back to the sect.

As a top sect of the Western Region, the Thousand Spirit Sect is indeed magnificent, occupying nearly half a planet, with everything one could need—even a mountain range where they raise feral beasts and a base for cultivating medicinal herbs; Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil couldn't see the end of it at a glance.

"This place is practically a great city!" Liao Yaotian and the others, seeing such a large sect for the first time, were overwhelmed upon arrival.

Ye Liuyun had seen big sects before, but he hadn't expected the Thousand Spirit Sect to be this huge.

"Here, each inner disciple has his own mountain peak. Even outer disciples have their own side courtyards, where they can live with servants and guards," Chen Yueying explained to them.

"This really is a place for rich young masters!" Liao Yaotian said, sticking out his tongue. Their monthly stipend could never enjoy such treatment in a lifetime.

"We'll have it too! Don't sigh, let's go in first!" Ye Liuyun, not caring about such treatment, greeted them eagerly, wanting to enter quickly.

They first passed through the outer gate, then a large urban‑like district. Here there were merchant guilds, taverns, and various consumption spots, exactly the same as outside.

Then came the sect's Grand Hall of Deliberation, Steward Hall, General Affairs Hall, and other such halls; only after that were the inner disciples' residences. Chen Yueying first took them to the General Affairs Hall to arrange their entry‑exit identity tokens, then continued onward.

The inner gate's inspection of tokens for people entering and leaving is much stricter than the outer gate's. At the outer gate, Chen Yueying could just flash her token and no one stopped her; but the inner gate required each person to present their token before being allowed in.

After entering the inner gate, looking around, all that could be seen were mountain peaks, each with various buildings. The spiritual energy here was also extremely thick; from afar, the air seemed to be shrouded in a mist.

"This place is like a fairyland!" Liao Yaotian, seeing the scene, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Past the inner disciples'

"area, that is the residence of the sect elders. There, disciples are forbidden to enter…"

Chen Yueying, while leading them to her own mountain peak, also explained the situation here, so that when they later needed to go out on errands, they wouldn't get lost.

Ye Liuyun would not be ordered around, but the other few guards she could still let them go out to do some things. For example, going to the General Affairs Hall to check missions and such could be left to them to handle.

So they all took careful note of this, Ye Liuyun included.

On the way, they also ran into a few inner disciples greeting Chen Yueying, but no one paid attention to those few guards.

Chen Yueying's residence wasn't far; they arrived after a short while. The mountain peak wasn't very tall, but it had a formation set up. Chen Yueying then busied herself for a while, linking their tokens to the formation, so that thereafter their comings and goings would not be restricted by it.

"My place is relatively close to the inner gate entrance and not very high. That's because my strength isn't enough yet. The farther back and the higher the peak, the more abundant the spiritual energy. To get a better peak, one must rely on strength to defeat the current peak master."

"So by looking at the location and height of the peaks, you can guess the strength ranking of the inner disciples."

Liao Yaotian looked at the endless mountain peaks ahead and couldn't help asking: "Does that mean we can't afford to provoke the people on those peaks behind us?"

"That's right!" Chen Yueying also laughed: "Now you know, in the sect I'm basically at the bottom. Not only are the peaks behind me stronger, but many ahead of me actually aren't any weaker than me."

"It's just that many people give me face, so no one wants to provoke me; otherwise, I might not even be able to hold onto this peak."

"Can we help the peak master fight?" Ye Liuyun asked directly.

Chen Yueying also replied: "Yes, but it must be one‑on‑one. Remember, others can also seek outside help! As guards, your cultivation levels are probably the lowest among the inner disciples. So if you're not confident, you'd better not provoke them."

"Uh… looks like we'll have a hard time getting by here from now on!" Liao Yaotian and the others immediately became cautious in their hearts.

"Spend your time cultivating; the environment here is after all much better than outside. Just improve quickly, no need to worry." Ye Liuyun, seeing their tense expressions, knew what they were thinking.

"The outer sect's library is also accessible with your tokens for borrowing techniques. If you want to improve your techniques, you can go borrow them yourself." Chen Yueying also reminded them.

"There's such a good thing? We can also go?" Liao Yaotian and the others thought it unbelievable.
