CHAPTER 1262: CHAPTER 1262: LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

Xuanqing Sect and Yunxia Sect are both part of the three major forces in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm. Their relationship is such that each wishes to outdo the other, so harmony is impossible.

And Cloud Mist City is the territory of the Yunxia Sect, considered their stronghold. Unless there’s a special event, the Great Sect Master of Xuanqing Sect wouldn’t casually visit Cloud Mist City.

Jing Yan immediately realized that the Great Sect Master of Xuanqing Sect coming all the way here was definitely not just to visit him, a High-level Divine Pill Master, so simply.

"Mr. Yan Jin, not only has the Great Sect Master Gao Jufan of Xuanqing Sect arrived, but our Divine Domain Master Solo has also come in person! Right now, they are waiting for Mr. Yan Jin to speak with them." Gu Cuo gazed at Jing Yan intently.

"The Domain Master of the Vast Smoke Divine Realm?" Jing Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

No wonder Building Owner Gu Cuo was so excited.

Jing Yan also did not expect that even the Domain Master of this High-class Divine Realm would personally come.

Jing Yan quickly turned his thoughts and said, "Building Owner Gu Cuo, please lead the way!"

"Alright." Gu Cuo promptly replied.

In a room of the Piaomiao Pill Tower, Jing Yan met two middle-aged men. Through Building Owner Gu Cuo’s introduction, Jing Yan learned that the man in the black robe was Domain Master Solo, and the man in the blue robe was the Great Sect Master Gao Jufan of Xuanqing Sect.

"Mr. Yan Jin, you are indeed remarkably young, the rumors are true!" Domain Master Solo, dressed in a black robe, said with a smile.

His slightly squinted eyes carried a faint gleam.

"Haha... Seeing Mr. Yan Jin, I’m quite surprised. Mr. Yan Jin is even younger than I imagined." Gao Jufan chimed in.

Gao Jufan’s words were not entirely out of courtesy. He was indeed a bit surprised to see Jing Yan’s youthful appearance.

Although the name Yan Jin is now famous throughout the Vast Smoke Divine Realm, and rumors say that the Yan Jin Alchemist looks very young, actually seeing him in person was somewhat unexpected for Gao Jufan.

"Are the two of you trying to flatter me to death?" Jing Yan laughed heartily.

The few exchanged pleasantries and then sat down one after another. Building Owner Gu Cuo of Piaomiao Pill Tower also accompanied them.

Jing Yan scrutinized the two Nine Tripods Main God strong men sitting across from him.

Domain Master Solo and Sect Master Gao Jufan were both strong individuals in the Nine Tripods Main God realm.

Among them, Sect Master Gao Jufan and Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue of Yunxia Sect had Martial Arts Cultivations that were similar. They were considered quite strong among the Nine Tripods Main Gods.

As for Domain Master Solo, he was truly formidable.

During his time in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm, Jing Yan had heard about Domain Master Solo. This Solo Domain Master had once fought head-on with a Lord of Ten Thousand Gods level strong individual without being at a disadvantage. Although the Lord of Ten Thousand Gods who fought with Solo was one of the more ordinary powerful beings, Solo could confront a powerful being head-on with his Nine Tripods Main God realm, demonstrating the formidable combat power of Solo Domain Master.

Being able to serve as a Domain Master of a high-level Divine Domain, he was clearly exceptional.

It’s rumored that this Domain Master Solo could speak with many Lords of Ten Thousand Gods, and in certain matters, those powerful beings would give Solo Domain Master some face.

Such a figure was, of course, someone Jing Yan wanted to observe carefully.

"Mr. Yan Jin, this time I came here primarily for two reasons. One is that I heard that Alchemist Yan Jin cured the Lan Wood Spiritual Root of Yunxia Sect, surpassing the alchemy abilities of our Vast Smoke Divine Realm’s Pill Master Zhenqing, so I couldn’t resist meeting Mr. Yan Jin and hope I haven’t disturbed you. As for the second reason, I heard that Mr. Yan Jin wants to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting held by Star Moon Valley." Domain Master Solo said slowly.

Gao Jufan, the Sect Master beside him, did not speak at this time.

"Lord Domain Master, you are too kind. Yes, I do wish to attend the Immortal Bridge Meeting in Star Moon Valley." Jing Yan nodded.

Domain Master Solo turned his gaze to look at Gao Jufan.

Gao Jufan immediately said, "It seems Mr. Yan Jin wanted to obtain a spot for the Immortal Bridge Meeting from Yunxia Sect but was rejected by them."

"Indeed! I am friends with Hao Yuntian, the Domain Master of the Beibi River Divine Domain. Domain Master Hao Yuntian was once a disciple of Yunxia Sect. Therefore, Hao Yuntian Domain Master and I came to the Yunxia Sect in the Vast Smoke Divine Realm to try our luck. Unfortunately, the three spots for the Immortal Bridge Meeting at Yunxia Sect have already been decided." Jing Yan responded.

Hearing Jing Yan’s words, both Solo and Gao Jufan smiled.

"Mr. Yan Jin, then I won’t beat around the bush," Gao Jufan gathered his breath and said, looking at Jing Yan, "Our Xuanqing Sect can recommend Mr. Yan Jin to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting in Star Moon Valley."

"Oh?" Jing Yan’s eyebrows raised slightly.

In fact, Jing Yan had anticipated this possibility before, but hearing it from Sect Master Gao Jufan himself still made him a bit excited.

The Immortal Bridge Meeting is indeed of great importance to Jing Yan.

Jing Yan paused and said, "Sect Master Gao Jufan, what do you need from me?"

The Xuanqing Sect would not give Jing Yan a spot for the Immortal Bridge Meeting for free. Such a recommendation is extremely important and scarce for any force. Jing Yan did not believe that Sect Master Gao Jufan came from the Xuanqing Sect just to give him a spot for nothing.

"I hope Mr. Yan Jin can join the Xuanqing Sect as an Elder and represent the Xuanqing Sect at the Immortal Bridge Meeting," Gao Jufan put away his smile, "This is my only request."

"Join Xuanqing Sect as an Elder?" Jing Yan frowned.

If it was to temporarily join Xuanqing Sect and represent them at the Immortal Bridge Meeting, Jing Yan had no problem. But if it was to join Xuanqing Sect long-term, that was not what Jing Yan desired. It’s not the same as when he first arrived in the God Realm from the low-level Divine Realm.

If he joins Xuanqing Sect long-term, what if the sect wants him to practice Alchemy every day?

Jing Yan shook his head and said, "Sect Master Gao Jufan, I’m accustomed to being free, joining Xuanqing Sect as an Elder would really be difficult for me."

Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Gao Jufan was slightly disappointed.

However, he quickly changed his tone and said, "If Mr. Yan Jin is worried about losing freedom by joining the Xuanqing Sect as an Elder, there’s no need for concern. Mr. Yan Jin can be an Honorary Elder."

An Honorary Elder is just a title. It doesn’t grant authority to manage the sect or obligate one to serve the sect.

Jing Yan realized that this was Sect Master Gao Jufan making a compromise. If Jing Yan agreed to be a regular Elder, it would be ideal, but if Jing Yan refused to be a regular Elder, he could be an Honorary Elder instead.

Yan Jin Alchemist is now extremely famous and has the potential for greater accomplishments in the future. If Yan Jin Alchemist becomes an Honorary Elder of Xuanqing Sect, it would greatly enhance the influence of the sect overall.
