Lin Yun had heard these arguments, but they were unaware that the reason they were able to make the Grand Elder personally come out to recruit Lin Yun was not because of Lin Yun’s realm, but because of Lin Yun’s status as an alchemist.
Under the leadership of the Grand Elder, Lin Yun quickly entered the grand hall.
Inside the great hall.
A middle-aged man in a green robe with a majestic face sat on a throne directly in front of him.
This man was not angry, and Lin Yun could feel an invisible pressure and oppression just by looking at him.
This kind of powerful oppression was something that Lin Yun had only ever felt on the Ice Spirit Palace Lord.
Lin Yun knew that this person was either a second-order YuanYing or third-order YuanYing powerhouse
“Sect Leader, I’ve brought Lin Yun here, he has agreed to join my White Cloud Sect.”The Grand Elder bowed to the Sect Leader on the throne, arching his hand.
The Sect Leader sitting on the throne, upon hearing this news, a smile appeared on his face.
“Haha, Master Lin Yun, welcome to my White Cloud Sect.”
The Sect Leader gave a bold smile before standing up from his throne and walking towards Lin Yun in large strides.
The Sect Master knew in his heart that with Lin Yun’s status as an alchemist, even if the supreme sanctuary learnt about it, it would personally come out and invite Lin Yun to join it, so where else would his White Cloud Sect have a part to play?
The fact that his White Cloud Sect was able to obtain Lin Yun was entirely due to his White Cloud Sect’s good fortune in learning about Lin Yun’s identity as an alchemist through the Imperial Capital’s White Cloud Pavilion.
In the blink of an eye, the Sect Master walked up to Lin Yun.
“Master Lin Yun, it’s a great fortune for my White Cloud Sect that you’ve joined us nah on behalf of the entire White Cloud Sect, I welcome you.”The Sect Master was full of smiles.
If it was just Lin Yun’s realm, it wouldn’t have been enough to make the Sect Master of the White Cloud Sect, rise to welcome Lin Yun in such a grand manner.
Lin Yun was very clear in his heart, the White Cloud Sect’s Sectmaster was so enthusiastic, purely because Lin Yun was a Yuan Alchemist, and with this status, he didn’t dare to say that he was on equal footing with the White Cloud Sect’s Sectmaster, but he had to at least be polite to Lin Yun as a superior guest!
The identity of an alchemist was a very honourable identity even in the Immortal Cultivation Continent, let alone on Earth!
If he didn’t have this status, just by virtue of Lin Yun’s realm of solid dan, maybe he wouldn’t even receive himself in person, let alone so and so.
He addressed Lin Yun as Master Lin Yun, also because of Lin Yun’s identity as an alchemist
“You’re welcome, Master, I can feel the sincerity of the White Cloud Sect.”Lin Yun smiled.
“Grandmaster Lin Yun, from today onwards, you are a part of my White Cloud Sect, my White Cloud Sect will definitely pour resources into cultivating you, in addition, I will grant you, right now, the status of Elder of the White Cloud Sect, and enjoy all the privileges of an Elder.”The Sect Master said.
Just based on Lin Yun’s status as an alchemist, Lin Yun definitely had the ability and qualifications to take on the position of Elder.
After becoming an elder, Lin Yun’s status in the White Cloud Sect would be above all disciples, deacons, and protectors, and just below the Sect Leader and a few senior elders.
Lin Yun however said “Sect Leader, for the position of Elder, I don’t think I can take it on.”
“Oh why is that” Lin Yun revealed a look of surprise.
Even the Grand Elder, looked very surprised.
“Lin Yun, granting you the position of elder is an affirmation of your status, and it has many benefits for you to walk in the sect, so why can’t you” said the Grand Elder.
“Because I’m only at the realm of solid dan now, if I’m granted the position of elder, people will inevitably get suspicious and then guess that I’m an alchemist, I don’t really want to reveal that I’m an alchemist’s identity, which will be detrimental to me.”Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun didn’t want to casually expose himself, his identity as an alchemist, if his identity as an alchemist spread throughout the entire White Cloud Sect, it was guaranteed that the White Cloud Sect had eyes and ears planted in it by other sects, in which case, the news would likely spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
A man can’t be guilty of a crime, but a man can be guilty of a crime if he carries it in his arms
One must know that alchemy was a powerful technique that had been lost nowadays, and pills were very precious in the cultivation world.
If this news got out, it would be easy for someone to get red in the face and then hit on the alchemy art.
Maybe some unethical evil sects would take advantage of Lin Yun’s absence from the White Cloud Sect to secretly ambush Lin Yun and then bully him into handing over the alchemy technique or even kill him.
There was no need to say how attractive alchemy was, under the lure of such treasures, there would definitely be people like this
The consequence was that Lin Yun currently didn’t have enough strength to defend this treasure of his, and if something like this did happen to him, he would only lose his treasure and perish.
The identity of an alchemist was a double-edged sword, it could both bring great benefits to Lin Yun, causing strong people to respect him, but it would likewise place Lin Yun, in a dangerous place.
At the very least, when Lin Yun didn’t have enough strength to defend himself as an alchemist, Lin Yun wouldn’t freely expose this identity.
The saying that wealth would not be exposed was not said for nothing.
Throughout history, how many people had ended up losing their wealth and perishing because they had casually displayed their wealth without the ability to defend it.
The Sect Leader and the Grand Elder were both smart people, a little goes a long way, and they also immediately understood what Lin Yun meant when they heard his words.
“Yes you are the world’s, only alchemist, this identity, it is indeed inappropriate to expose it at will.”The Grand Elder and the Sect Leader nodded and said.
The two of them also secretly sighed in their hearts, Lin Yun was really thoughtful, he was able to think things through, so thoroughly, there were very few young people that could possess such a thoughtful mind.
“Lin Yun, this matter, it’s my fault for not thinking things through properly.”The Sect Master said.
After a pause, the Sect Leader continued “How about this, then grant the status of a pro-disciple, this is the highest status class amongst the disciples.”
“Good.”Lin Yun responded.
Although it was a disciple status externally.
But the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder, would obviously treat Lin Yun as a superior guest, after all, Lin Yun was an honourable alchemist.
Even the Sect Leader would definitely not dare to put on airs in front of Lin Yun.
“Sect Leader, Great Elder, my identity as an alchemist, I also hope that you can keep it a secret from outsiders.”Lin Yun said.
“That’s of course,” the duo nodded with smiles on their faces.
“By the way Master Lin Yun, my son borrowed pills and other external forces to forcefully step into Jindan in the first place, causing it to leave behind some aftereffects, affecting him in the future, causing quite a lot of repercussions, could you please trouble Master Lin Yun and refine a Returning to Origin Pill for my son, I will prepare the medicinal materials, Master Lin Yun only needs to help with the refining.”The Sect Master said.
Return to Origin Pill, an intermediate level pill that could nurture the body and eliminate some of the after-effects.
“Of course no problem.”Lin Yun directly answered.
Lin Yun knew in his heart that the White Cloud Sect’s willingness to allow themselves to enjoy all the sect’s resources and their willingness to devote all their efforts to cultivating Lin Yun was not for nothing, they valued Lin Yun’s status as an alchemist, so they could have Lin Yun help them to make pills.
What Lin Yun valued, on the other hand, was the various resources of the White Cloud Sect, which would allow him to raise his cultivation faster.
That being said, it was sort of a case of each taking what they needed.
If Lin Yun helped them refine pills, they would naturally be more willing to help Lin Yun with all their might.
“Then I’ll thank Master Lin Yun in advance, I’ll send over the medicinal materials for refining pills, as soon as possible.”The Sect Master arched his hand in thanks.
“You’re welcome, Sect Leader.”Lin Yun also looked humble.
Next, arranging Lin Yun’s accommodation and other chores, the Sect Leader left it to the Grand Elder to arrange.
At the same time, the Sectmaster also sent someone to inform the entire sect of Lin Yun’s joining the White Cloud Sect.
Lin Yun, on the other hand, under the leadership of the Grand Elder, was quickly arranged into a relatively secluded and separate residence, a residence of this level, which was generally only available to the Sect Master level in the sect.
After the arrangements were made.
“Master Lin Yun, if there’s anything in the sect, feel free to contact me.”The Grand Elder said.
“Grand Elder, I want to ask how long it will take for me to enter the place of cultivation,” Lin Yun asked.
The Grand Elder had said before that the White Cloud Sect had a place of cultivation that was much faster than the outside world, and Lin Yun couldn’t wait to experience it long ago.
“It’s not early today, I’ll take you in tomorrow.”The Grand Elder said.
“Good,” Lin Yun nodded and agreed.
After the Sect Master had announced the news of Lin Yun joining the sect, the news quickly spread throughout the entire sect.
On the square.
“What a White Cloud Sect, another pro-disciple has suddenly come, called Lin Yun, what a bully Now what a White Cloud Sect, there are four pro-disciples.”
“I heard that this person, was personally recruited back by the Grand Elder, I’m sure his strength is not bad.”
“I don’t know, what exactly is this person’s strength, but to be directly awarded a pro-disciple, must be very impressive”
Such news, for a sect that was hidden in the deep mountains, was definitely worth being talked about by the disciples.
