Chapter 123: 123. Mo Yue’s Last Words "Let’s talk the next time you come," Wen Ping replied with a smile.
"Alright!"
Huan Shan nodded and turned to leave the mountain.
After Huan Shan left, Wen Ping turned around to glance at Qin Shan, but after a brief look, his gaze ultimately landed on Miao Yin, observing her still following behind Qin Shan like a servant.
Her servant posture was such that even speaking loudly seemed like overstepping.
Wen Ping coldly said, "Miao Yin, how did you reach the Body Refining Twelfth Layer?"
"Huh?"
Miao Yin didn’t understand what Wen Ping meant by his question.
Wen Ping continued, "You’ve been part of the Immortal Sect for three or four hours now, haven’t you thought about cultivation?"
"With the elder here, how could I..."
Before Miao Yin could finish, Wen Ping interrupted her, "Remember, you are now a disciple of the Immortal Sect. Look around; besides you, does anyone here dare to watch the show? Can’t they feel the aura of the Profound Realm? If you joined the Immortal Sect just to play, you might as well go down the mountain with Senior Qin Shan now."
Miao Yin was left bewildered by Wen Ping’s scolding.
She wanted to argue but couldn’t muster the words under Wen Ping’s cold stare.
Seeing this, Qin Shan glanced at the flustered Miao Yin and said, "Miao Yin, go do what you need to do. An old man at the Profound Realm doesn’t need you following me. As for going to the Trial Tower, I’ll have Sect Leader Wen take me."
"Yes."
Miao Yin nodded.
Before turning to leave, she shot Wen Ping a look of defiance, then quickly caught up with Wang Bo and left the plaza.
As Miao Yin departed, Qin Shan chuckled and said, "Sect Leader Wen truly cares."
Wen Ping responded, "She’s not on Flying Fish Island anymore; she’s in the Immortal Sect. As Sect Leader, I must be responsible for the sect’s disciples. I hope to see only outstanding disciples and those striving to be outstanding, not subservient relationships like master and servant."
"Sect Leader Wen has good intentions. Unfortunately, Sect Leader Wen doesn’t understand our Flying Fish Island. Although family forces don’t restrict clan members from joining sects, the Immortal Sect is currently too small to help her change her servant status." Qin Shan sighed regretfully, then watched as Yu Mo leisurely followed behind Miao Yin, leaving.
Immediately, Qin Shan said, "Sect Leader Wen, I’ve heard from Miao Yin that you have a Trial Tower here where one can learn Abnormal Vein Skills?"
"Abnormal Vein Skill?"
"It’s the technique that releases flames; only with an Abnormal Vein Skill can one manipulate the Five Elements."
Wen Ping suddenly understood, looked at Qin Shan’s intrigued expression, and smirked internally, then said, "Senior Qin Shan, I’m afraid I cannot answer your question."
"Why?" Qin Shan was taken aback.
Wen Ping replied, "Because you are not part of the Immortal Sect. Having stayed here for an hour, you must leave now. If you have questions, come find me tomorrow, though I may not be around."
Qin Shan quickly said, "I just helped you earlier; can’t you make an exception?"
)
"Equal treatment for all, besides, I didn’t ask for your help."
"I..."
Qin Shan smiled helplessly, thinking that it was true, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Had he not helped, the dog would have acted long ago, and so much time wouldn’t have been wasted.
After a while, Qin Shan grit his teeth and said, "Then I’ll join the Immortal Sect; is that acceptable?"
Wen Ping was pleased, and then asked the system silently: System, is the entrance fee for the Profound Realm still 1000 Gold Coins?
The system’s response came, "It won’t change for now, but as soon as the host recruits the first Profound Realm, the entry fee system will automatically change."
"What will it change to?"
"Stay tuned, but there will definitely be an increase."
At this, Wen Ping smiled wryly.
The thing he feared most had come. Had he known, he wouldn’t have asked.
The Profound Realm wants to join the sect, yet this system intends to raise the entrance fee, isn’t this making it difficult for him?
"Sect Leader Wen!"
Noticing Wen Ping’s lack of response, Qin Shan hurriedly called out.
Wen Ping came back to his senses, apologized, and then said, "Joining the Immortal Sect is possible; first, pay the entrance fee of 1000 Gold Coins."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shan was initially a bit resigned.
If he had said this to a higher-up of a Two-star Sect, they would have lifted him up the mountain with great honor and treated him with reverence.
But thinking of the Immortal Sect’s Trial Tower, Qin Shan smiled and asked, "Once I join, can I stay in the Immortal Sect as I please?"
"Of course."
Wen Ping replied.
"Then shouldn’t I have a position as well?"
"Lecturer Elder, perhaps, to guide the disciples of the Immortal Sect when appropriate."
