Building a sect from scratch.

The player waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing really. I just think the medicine tastes awful. We have to consider the taste experience of the people who are being given it! Anyway, adding some ordinary ingredients to this kind of elixir won't ruin its medicinal properties, so we mostly use ordinary materials when adjusting the taste. The medicinal properties come from the spiritual ingredients!"

"Absolutely a masterpiece! By the way, may I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

"Hehehe, not at all, my name is, uh," the player hesitated for a moment before saying somewhat embarrassedly, "【Yellow-haired Crane Immortal】, well, you can call me 'Yellow Hair' or 'Crane Immortal'!"

Upon hearing this, the round-faced NPC was extremely surprised: "Fellow Daoist, you have already reached the Nascent Soul stage? And you are even called an 'Immortal'? How truly remarkable!"

Upon hearing this, [Yellow-haired Crane Immortal] was stunned for a moment before realizing what the NPC meant. He quickly waved his hand and tried to clarify, "No, no! This is just my name! It's just a simple name!"

It turns out that although the term "Yellow-haired Crane Immortal" was automatically transliterated by the game system, the player split it into two independent words, thus avoiding the transliteration and directly conveying its original meaning, which led to the NPC's misunderstanding. After all, in the Guixu Realm, unless a cultivator is trying to fool the ignorant masses, most people who dare to call themselves "immortals" are at the Nascent Soul stage.

"I see... This is the first time I've heard such a name!" The NPC nodded as if suddenly understanding, and then quickly introduced himself: "My name is Jing Chen, and my Daoist name is Jie Zi. You can call me Jing Jie Zi!"

Huangmaohe Xianren had a good memory and quickly retrieved a name he had once seen by chance from the corners of his memory—Lian Jiezi, the sect leader of Guangcheng Sect.

She immediately asked with some curiosity, "Huh? There are so many of you named 'Mustard Seed'!"

Jing Jiezi scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said in a serious tone, "It's probably because this word is quite representative. It's the name of a very famous and commonly used medicinal herb, such as white jade mustard seed, golden mustard seed, and silver mustard seed, which are very useful in alchemy. Moreover, because of its small size, it is often used to refer to dust, which happens to match my name. So my master took it and gave it to me as my Taoist name!"

"I know, I know! I used Golden Mustard Seed in the medicine I gave you earlier!" The Yellow-haired Crane Immortal said with bright eyes, as if he were taking credit. After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong, coughed awkwardly, and continued, "The sect leader of Guangcheng Sect is also named 'Mustard Seed,' but he's called 'Lian Mustard Seed'! So when I heard your name, I found it quite strange, what a coincidence!"

Jing Jiezi hurriedly said, "Oh! Fellow Daoist Lian! I've met him once before! However, Fellow Daoist Lian's name was given to him by his parents, not his Daoist title, so it's a bit different from mine!"

"Hey! Anyway, you N... um, cultivators in the Guixu Realm," the yellow-haired crane immortal paused, almost slipping his tongue, before saying, "um, your naming is so complicated. You have a given name, a Daoist title, and an honorific title. One person can have three or four names, that's a lot! It's impossible to remember them all!"

Jing Jiezi tilted her head slightly, somewhat warily: "Huh? Aren't you from the Realm of Return to Nothingness?"

"No! We're from the Blue Star Realm! We came here specifically to experience cultivation!"

Jing Jiezi was filled with question marks: "Experience...cultivation?"

"That's a long story! By the way, what are your plans? Anyway, you can't get those lost pills back! And there's no compensation! After all, you're practically prisoners! But if you want to go back to the Ziwei Sect, I can kindly escort you back! Hehe, I haven't been to the new map yet, hehehe..."

As he spoke, the Yellow-haired Crane Immortal even rubbed his hands together in a somewhat lewd manner, looking extremely excited.

"No, I won't go back to the Ziwei Sect..." Jing Jiezi hesitated for a moment, then asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Excuse me, does your Taiyin Sect recruit alchemists? My cultivation is quite good! I reached the Nascent Soul stage more than ten years ago! Although I'm not very good at fighting, I've made considerable achievements in the art of alchemy!"

"Jing Jiezi! Have you no shame? The Grand Elder's body is barely cold, and you're already so eager to join another sect?"

Before the Yellow-haired Crane Immortal could answer, a woman's voice filled with anger rang in his ears.

Jing Jiezi recognized the voice and turned her head helplessly to explain, "Junior sister, can you please be reasonable? I wasn't originally a disciple of the Ziwei Sect. It was only after the Ziwei Sect wiped out our Changze Sect that I was taken in as an outer disciple of the Ziwei Sect!"

Seeing the Yellow-haired Crane Immortal's "I've got some juicy gossip" expression, Jing Jiezi bluntly retorted, "I didn't follow the Changze Sect when it was destroyed, but now that the Ziwei Sect has been wiped out, am I supposed to stay chaste?"

Huangmao Crane Immortal, never one to shy away from a good show, fanned the flames, saying, "Exactly! If you want to remain chaste, then die yourself! What kind of nonsense is this, morally blackmailing others! Besides, your Ziwei Sect has committed countless evils. If our Taiyin Sect destroys you, that's acting on behalf of Heaven! Hehehe!"

Jing Jiezi's junior sister was so angry that her face turned red: "You! You're just being unreasonable!"

"Just practice more cooking!"

While making sarcastic remarks, the Yellow-haired Crane Immortal also made a thumbs-down gesture with his hand, and his expression was extremely irritating.

Although the female cultivator did not understand the meaning of the gestures made by the Yellow-haired Crane Immortal, she could tell that it was not a friendly gesture, and she became even angrier.

But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She had only recently regained consciousness, and her cultivation hadn't fully recovered. Even if she launched a sneak attack, she might not be able to defeat these Taiyin Sect disciples, not to mention there were several cultivators of considerable strength "guarding" them not far away! What's even more outrageous is that these Taiyin Sect disciples are practically immortal! They must have used some kind of twisted and evil method to be unkillable! Listening to the conversations among the Taiyin Sect disciples around her, it was either "How many times have you died?" or "I've only died five times," which sounded terrifying.

Besides that, there were also nonsensical terms like "weakling" and "noob," which left her completely bewildered.

Seeing that the female cultivator was angry but had difficulty even standing up, the Yellow-haired Crane Immortal quickly rolled his eyes and turned to Jing Jiezi, saying, "Alright, ignore her! Let her rage in vain! Let's continue with our conversation! By the way! What did you just say? You thought orange flavor wasn't as good as grape flavor?"

Jingjiezi frowned and recalled, "At least that's how it tasted. It's probably because the orange flavor had a strange sour taste, while the grape flavor didn't!"

"Then why don't you try this peach oolong flavor? Don't worry! The dosage is small, it won't make you dizzy, at most it'll just make you feel numb for a while!"
