Chapter 6: Reporting Achievements to Deacon

After Qin Yi entered the First Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, his five senses were greatly strengthened.

He can feel spiritual energy intertwined around him, and he can also faintly feel an affinity between himself and the elements around him.

He can feel that wind element in here also far more vital than any other place. Perhaps it was because the martial skill that Deacon practising is related to the wind element; therefore, the wind here more active than at the outside.

After waiting for almost an hour, Qin Yi saw the Deacon stop practising and slowly walked over him.

The Deacon had been aware of Qin Yi’s presence from the start, but his practice was more important than a little novice disciple.

As a deacon, it is not a problem to make a novice disciple stand for an hour. Even if it for a day, he doubted that any novice disciple would have the guts to show dissatisfaction with him.

When he got closer, he finally saw who is the novice disciple waiting for him, and it was actually a bit unexpected.

“It’s you!”

The Deacon widened his eyes and said, “You reached the First Stage of Qi Condensation in just two and half years. Considering you have a low-grade aptitude, your progress in cultivation is extremely quick.”

Qin Yi stepped forward and clasped his fist in salute, “Greeting, the Deacon.”

“Um,” The Deacon nodded in delight, “You’re not bad. I thought you would stay in the Novices’ Quarter for a long time along with everyone else, but who would have thought that you reached the First Stage of Qi Condensation so quickly.”

The Deacon remembered this young man. Although Qin Yi’s aptitude is not as good as the first two novice disciples that entered the outer sect a half year ago, he is the most diligent novice disciple in the Novices’ Quarter.

He has a good impression of Qin Yi, not only due to his diligentness but also because he has never made any mistake in these two and half years working in the Novices’ Quarter.

Qin Yi always perfectly carries out his duties; therefore, the Deacon was always satisfied with Qin Yi’s performance.

Among the low-grade aptitude disciples, Qin Yi was the most outstanding. Thus, it is not strange that he could remember Qin Yi.

“Alright, since you’ve reached the First Stage of Qi Condensation you are eligible to enter the outer sect starting tomorrow. For today, you just need to pack your things and prepare yourself as you will be moving to the outer sect tomorrow.”

The Deacon lifted his right hand as he finished speaking; after that, a jade slip shot out and hovered in front of Qin Yi.

Qin Yi grabbed it.

“Imbue spiritual energy into that jade slip, and it will lead you to the Registration Hall in the outer sect tomorrow. That is where you will report your promotion and register your identity as the outer disciple.” The Deacon explained.

Qin Yi bowed, “Thanks the Deacon for directing.”

“Alright.” The Deacon dismissed him slightly, “Since the matter here was done, you can go back and prepare for yourself. I just finished practicing and I need to take a bath.”

That’s it?

Qin Yi blankly stands in front of the Deacon.

The process was quite simple.

It seems like he was just overthinking it regarding his low-grade aptitude. Perhaps his case is not the rare sight at all, and a lot similar thing happens in this sect?

Regardless, it is good that he is not under suspicion and does not need to be retested for aptitude.

“Why are you still standing here?” The Deacon raised his eyebrows.

“Oh…” Qin Yi returned to his sense. Clasping his fist in salute to the Deacon, and said tactfully, “Thanks for the Deacon’s care for these two and half years in the Novices’ Quarter. May you be blessed with good health!”

Upon being dismissed by the Deacon, Qin Yi has no reason to stay in here any longer. So, he respectfully said goodbye to the Deacon.

However, before leaving, he did not forget to perform casual extraction on the Deacon.

Aside from 10 Cultivation Points, there is nothing else to gain.

The Deacon speechlessly watches Qin Yi leaving. This is the first time someone blessed him with good health.

Good health? Good health, your ass!

Do cultivators need good health? Spiritual energy from heaven and earth could protect cultivators’ bodies from any illness, virus, and so on. Therefore, it was pretty unlikely for a cultivator to get sick unless the poison or something similar infects them.

The Deacon shakes his head helplessly, “Forget it, that guy has a good intention. I hope he can do well in the outer sect.”

When Qin Yi get out of the Deacon’s quarter, he did not expect to see someone familiar.

“Fellow disciple… Qin Yi?”

Suddenly, a pleasant voice resounds in Qin Yi’s ears. He could feel that there was a hint of surprise in her voice.

That pleasant and familiar voice was none other belongs to the boyish Shangguan Yue.

Her face is still handsome as ever, that even Qin Yi somehow jealous of her.

Qin Yi and Shangguan Yue did not have much interaction.

He had known her a year ago when he had gone to the forest behind the Novices’ Quarter to gather some woods.

At that place, he accidentally saw Shangguan Yue trying to attempt a breakthrough; She was succeeded at that.

Qin Yi greeted and teased her for a bit, “Fellow disciple Shangguan Yue, it seems like you do not want to hide any longer?”

“Y-yeah…” Shangguan Yue embarrassedly scratched her rosy nose.

“Speaking of which, I have to thank fellow disciple Qin Yi for keeping your promise to keep my breakthrough a secret even though we don’t know each other very well.”

That is right; when Shangguan Yue found out that an unknown male disciple was watching her, she was caught off guard and panic.

At first, she wanted to threaten the opposing party, but if she did, it would just make her look like a suspicious person; he might even think of her as a spy.

Therefore, she could only embarrassedly ask the opposing party to keep it a secret. However, she could not guarantee that the opposing party would do that.

Of course, Qin Yi had no reason to refuse her request.

Even though he was curious, it was not good to meddle in other people’s business.

“It’s just a slight effort.”

Qin Yi abruptly gave a thumbs up, “Do not worry, fellow disciple Shangguan Yue, my lips are usually tight when no one offers me money!”

“…Ahaha, thanks, I guess?”

Shangguan Yue speechlessly stared at Qin Yi and suddenly recalled something, “By the way, what are you doing here, fellow disciple Qin Yi?”

Qin Yi said, “I’ve just reported my advancement to the Deacon, and I will enter the outer sect tomorrow.”

“You’ve reached the First Stage of Qi Condensation? So fast?” Shangguan Yue remarked in surprise.

After all, it was pretty surprising for a low-grade aptitude to reach the First Stage of Qi Condensation in just two and a half years. Most of them usually take three or even five years to reach that stage.

However, she suddenly changed her mind.

‘Maybe this person is the same as me? After all, I also rely on a superior cultivation technique to advance faster than Zhou Li and Lin Tian.’

“Alright, I am going now. I had to pack my things up and bid my farewell to my friends here. See you again in the outer sect, fellow disciple Shangguan Yue.”

Qin Yi hurriedly bid goodbye to Shangguan Yue, who still has not yet recovered from her train her thought.

He did not really care about Shangguan Yue’s opinion.

Since even the Deacon did not suspect him, worrying over the little novice disciple’s opinion is unnecessary.
