After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 402 may be of interest.
Mo Jiuwei opened it and found that what was inside was quite substantial—

It's a crystal ticket.

The Hu family is very generous.

The same thing was in Master Hong's box, but after looking at it, he handed it to Mo Jiuwei. "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Mo, I wouldn't have been able to make this pill. Moreover, this pill formula is extremely wonderful, and I have benefited a lot from it. For me, this is already a gain. So, this gift of thanks is also for Fellow Daoist Mo."

The Hu family had no idea what had happened in the alchemy room, but they did notice the subtle change in Master Hong's attitude toward Mo Jiuwei.

But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out that it was the alchemist Hong who was being instructed by Mo Jiuwei. They only thought that the expert behind Mo Jiuwei had given her some pointers through a transmission talisman, and that alchemist Hong was only being so ingratiating to Mo Jiuwei because of that expert.

This made them all feel somewhat apprehensive.

Master Hong is a high-level alchemist, a very famous figure. Many people bring crystals to his door, but it's difficult to get him to refine a batch of pills!
Who exactly is this master, and what level of skill does he possess to command such respect?
Could it be a Heavenly-level Alchemist? Or someone even more powerful than a Heavenly-level Alchemist?

Thinking about it this way, I gained a deeper understanding of the strength of the Immortal Sect.

"Since Master Hong says so, then you can handle the gift as you see fit," Hu Li'an said with a smile, without objecting to Master Hong's act of giving the gift.

Mo Jiuwei glanced at Master Hong, but did not refuse. "Then thank you very much."

They collected it very efficiently.

Why not accept it? It's a free gift, why should she refuse a benefit that's offered to her?

Moreover, what Master Hong said is correct. That pill formula is new, and it is a genuine and effective one. He personally refined it, so he not only mastered the details but also witnessed the effects on Hu Xiu after taking it.

There are very few people who can personally verify the effects of a new elixir formula. All alchemists would cherish such an opportunity and would seek it out in vain.

Because this is an excellent opportunity to improve your skills!

So even if he didn't receive any tangible reward, he still made a profit.

Without lingering, Mo Jiuwei finished her business and took her leave.

She also told the Hu family that she was about to leave Canxin City and return to Xianlai Sect.

Ren Ruojiu was very reluctant to part with her, and held her hand for a long time, saying that they should visit each other often in the future. She only stopped when she saw Mo Jiuwei smile and agree.

"Take care on your journey, and come visit often!" Hu Xiu stood at the door, tears streaming down his face, seeing him off. "I'll come to the Immortal Sect to see you sometime!"

"Okay, I'm leaving now. Don't miss me."

Mo Jiuwei boarded the beast-drawn carriage and bid farewell to the Hu family, but was stopped by Master Hongdan at the street corner.

"Fellow Daoist Mo..."

He looked anxious, but when he opened his mouth, he found himself speechless.

Mo Jiuwei was not surprised by his move; in fact, she had been prepared for it.

Otherwise, Master Hongdan would have had a hard time stopping her car.

"Is Master Hong Dan interested in the Immortal Sect?" Mo Jiuwei lifted the carriage curtain and asked him directly.

She had already heard from Ren Ruojiu that Master Hong Dan had not joined any sect; he came from a family of alchemists, and his alchemy skills were passed down through generations.

He does hold a position in the Dan Association.

However, the Pill Gathering is the Pill Gathering, and this does not conflict with joining a particular sect.

Upon hearing this, Master Hong's eyes lit up, and he nodded without hesitation, "Of course I'm willing!" The reason he came to her was both because he was very curious about Mo Jiuwei and because he had great respect for the person behind her.

But regardless of the reason, they all boil down to a longing for the Immortal Sect!

If I could get closer to it, I might be able to improve my abilities even further.

As he grew older and broadened his horizons, Master Hong Dan became increasingly aware of his shortcomings. He had always wanted to break through to become a Heavenly-level Alchemist, but he was always missing something.

He could sense that if he hadn't encountered some extraordinary opportunity, he probably would never have reached the Heavenly level in his entire life.

And the Immortal Sect... perhaps that was his destiny, so of course he was willing!
“Master Hong, don’t rush to agree. Let me explain first.” Mo Jiuwei smiled and said, “You are a master alchemist with status and position, but if you enter the Immortal Sect, you will only be an ordinary disciple. You will not be an elder or a peak master, and you will have to obey the orders of the deputy peak master who is younger than you. This is not something that is easy to accept.”

Master Hong Dan was taken aback.

Ordinary disciple?
This was something he hadn't considered.

Given his status, he has received invitations from many forces and sects, such as asking him to be an honored guest or to become an elder or other high-ranking member of the sect.

But he didn't go when he was young, and now that he's older, he's even more reluctant to go. Anyway, he doesn't need the money, and he doesn't want to go through all the trouble for those people.

It's obvious that someone paid him to do this because they wanted something from him. If he went, he would be faced with an unavoidable alchemy task.

However, regarding the Immortal Sect...

"And we're often assigned to refine pills. Although there are new pill formulas from time to time, it's still hard work..." Mo Jiuwei seemed to be talking to herself.

"I'll go!" He couldn't resist as soon as he heard the words "new elixir formula" and made a decision immediately.

Hu Xiu's new pill formula has already benefited him greatly. If there are new pills to refine in the Immortal Sect, what does it matter if he is just an ordinary disciple!

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount, and seniority is of little importance. As long as one is strong enough, even an ordinary disciple will not be slighted!

“If you’ve made up your mind, you can go to the Immortal Sect anytime.” Mo Jiuwei wasn’t surprised by his decision at all. Upon hearing this, she handed him a stone-like object. “Take this to see Lu Lai. She will take care of you.”

Lu Lai, also known as Zhao Ning, is the head steward of the Xianlai Sect.

If it were an ordinary disciple, there would be no need to disturb Lu Lai, but for a talent like Master Hong Dan, it would be best to inform her and let her make the arrangements herself.

As for the stone, it was Liu Feng's idea.

He felt that Mo Jiuwei was good at judging people, so he specially had a batch of star-shaped stones made, which were considered to be Mo Jiuwei's exclusive items.

Whenever she sees someone worthy of her recruitment, she gives them a stone like this and tells them to take it to the Xianlai Sect. The people of the Xianlai Sect will understand her intention when they see it.

The person holding the stone was "specially recruited" by her. No matter how inconspicuous the person may seem, the Immortal Sect will take them under its wing without hesitation.

"it is good!"

Master Hong Dan finally smiled, relieved that the matter that had troubled him all day could finally be put aside.

The beast-drawn carriage drove off again, this time heading straight for the city gate.

After leaving the city, Niao Niao let out a joyful cry, then spread her wings and gracefully flew into the sky.

This caused quite a stir among the people who had just arrived at the city gate, who looked up in surprise—

"What a beautiful flying beast!"
