“No. I’m not just a guest; I’m also here to Cultivate.”
Qian Duoduo took out his spirit commerce certificate and handed it to Elder Fu with one hand.
Elder Fu flipped the spirit commerce certificate over and over, examining it for a long time, but found no issues. He then looked at Qian Duoduo askance.
“If you were merely a guest, I wouldn’t interfere. But if you claim to enter the Sect to Cultivate, I must verify your identity to prevent you from deceiving people with your innocent face, only to be a spy from an enemy Sect.”
“You?!”
Zeng Zifang was furious. Elder Fu’s words implied that she was keeping a gigolo.
“Elder Zeng, I am acting on the orders of the Zhao Family Old Ancestor to guard the Sect, handle matters according to Sect rules, and maintain the safety of our Sect. Have I done anything wrong?”
Elder Fu asked Zeng Zifang with a look of surprise.
He was neither swayed by her beauty nor intimidated by her authority.
Zeng Zifang stopped Zeng Ruohai, who was about to step forward and act, and her eyes darted about. Her anger turned into a smile.
“Willingly being the Zhao family’s dog, having eaten dog food, of course, one must bark a few more times and bite a few more times. What fault is there in that?”
Elder Fu’s old face paled.
“You—I am a dog for the Sect, and it is my duty to be loyal and diligent.”
“Then quickly open your dog eyes wide, examine the certificate carefully, and look at the person carefully. Don’t look down on those from the Upper Road.”
Zeng Zifang said with a beaming smile.
Elder Fu was unwilling to argue with her any further and glared at Qian Duoduo.
“Release your Spiritual Awareness and circulate your Cultivation Technique.”
Joining a Sect, having one’s identity investigated was an indispensable step.
Qian Duoduo opened his Spiritual Awareness, allowing a wisp of Elder Fu’s Spiritual Awareness to enter his Upper Spirit Sea via the Sect’s Formation.
The shape of Qian Duoduo’s Upper Spirit Sea had been modified by Liu Boli using a Formation, appearing only slightly larger than an ordinary Upper Spirit Sea. It was far from looking like it had been opened with Earthly Path Power, let alone re-opened with melted gold bricks.
The Middle Spirit Sea and Lower Spirit Sea were the same, only slightly stronger than those of an average Disciple.
Circulating the Soul Blade Technique, Qian Duoduo condensed a Soul Blade with his Spiritual Awareness.
The Soul Blade was nine feet five inches long, with an Azure Dragon coiled around it.
The Azure Dragon had a complete Dragon head, Dragon body, Dragon tail, and Dragon claws, clearly indicating the First Level Great Perfection, which matched Qian Duoduo’s Ninth Level of Qi Condensation Cultivation.
The Soul Blade Technique was a Legacy of the Gonglu Sect.
Compared to the Cultivation Techniques of the Lower Road, its power was significantly greater.
Qian Duoduo Cultivated the Ever-Rich and Noble Cultivation Technique, so his Spiritual Awareness was inherently strong. Even before practicing soul techniques, he had secretly learned the method of condensing a Soul Shield from Nangong Nizi.
Now with the Cultivation Technique and Liu Boli’s guidance, the Soul Blade Technique quickly reached the entry level.
Condensing the Dragon head, Dragon body, Dragon tail, and Dragon claws required a large amount of Spiritual Awareness, which was not a problem for Qian Duoduo either.
Qian Duoduo wielded the Soul Blade, performing all eighteen forms of the Soul Blade.
The reason he could perform them was that Liu Boli had demonstrated them inside the Golden Toad, and Qian Duoduo simply followed along, wielding the Soul Blade.
As the final move, Sky-Slicing Slash, was executed, the Azure Dragon on the Soul Blade detached itself, baring its fangs and claws, its might astonishing.
“How was it?”
Qian Duoduo put away his Soul Blade and asked Elder Fu nonchalantly, with an air that suggested he would enter if allowed and leave immediately if not.
Elder Fu’s Spiritual Awareness circled Qian Duoduo’s body but found no abnormalities.
He frowned, took out a Jade Slip, and walked to the side, communicating with someone for a while.
He walked back, taking out a token.
“Name?”
“Qian Duoduo.”
“Place of origin?”
“Facai City.”
“After entering the Sect, which Peak do you wish to join?”
Qian Duoduo looked at Zeng Zifang.
“Nose Peak.”
Elder Fu snorted coldly, his finger sliding across the token, then threw the token to Qian Duoduo.
“This is your identity token. Keep it well.”
With a flick of his finger, a Storage Pouch flew over, containing three sets of Ba Ling Sect Inner Sect Disciple robes, a Blood Sword Skill Cultivation Technique, and a Jade Slip inscribed with Sect rules.
“From now on, you are an Inner Sect Disciple of Ba Ling Sect’s Nose Peak. Now, follow me and recite the Sect entry oath.”
Elder Fu said loudly.
As he waved his hand, several lines of text appeared above the Sect, the main point being that one must never betray the Sect under any circumstances.
Elder Fu was just about to begin reciting.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a cold shout came from mid-air.
A scrawny old man with a huge head, riding a Mystic Sky Crocodile, descended from the sky and landed in front of Qian Duoduo and the others.
Qian Duoduo had seen this person before!
