Chapter Thirty-Four: Taking Stock

  Following Fang Changlao and others, Fang Tiannan entered the conference hall of Qingyun Sect for the first time in his life. Perhaps having received news of Fang Tiannan's arrival earlier, there were already many people seated in the conference hall at this time. Although Fang Tiannan didn't recognize any of them, judging from Wu You and others' behavior beside him, these people were all leaders of the sect. There were elders, executives, as well as those in charge of important places such as the alchemy room and the library.

  And then Fang Zhang's words also made Fang Tian Nan and others understand that the sect attaches great importance to this time, with six disciples entering the inheritance cave. Except for those who are in seclusion or out for training, almost all of the sect's personnel were seated in this conference hall.

  What made Fang Tian Nan slightly disappointed was that the Sect Master of Qing Yun Sect had not arrived.

  These people, naturally, did not introduce themselves to each other, but rather it was Fang Tian Nan and the others who took turns revealing their identities.

  To put it bluntly, these people may have come to the Council Chamber either because of their desire to inherit the legacy of Dongtian or out of genuine curiosity about Fang Tian and his companions.

  The status of outer sect disciples or inner sect disciples is naturally not worth mentioning in front of the management personnel of these sects. Perhaps, only outstanding representatives among the inner sect disciples can gain enough attention from these figures.

  Looking at Gu Yan's calm demeanor beside him, as well as the many people in the conference hall who were giving Gu Yan special attention, Fang Tian Nan thought to himself.

  This also makes Fang Tian Nan have an urgent desire to improve his own strength. No matter where, only when one's own strength is strong enough can they have sufficient say and attention from others. Otherwise, no matter what kind of experience or identity background you have, it's all just an illusion.

  Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan clenched his fists secretly.

  。。。。。。

  In the conference hall, there was originally no position for outsiders like Fang Tian Nan. However, considering that Fang Tian Nan and his group were members who had entered the Transmission Cave Heaven, and this gathering of people was precisely for the transmission of the cave heaven, so at the end of the conference hall, a seat was arranged for Fang Tian Nan and his party.

  Apart from Fang Tiannan, the other two outer sect disciples were somewhat frightened for a while. On the contrary, Fang Tiannan was sitting calmly with an air of indifference.

  "Alright, Deng Baichuan has already roughly told us what happened on the way here. Now that you six have entered the Transmission Cave Heaven, I'd like to hear about your experiences," said Fang Changlao after everyone had sat down. "However, there are some things we don't quite understand yet. I hope in the time to come, everyone can speak freely and ask questions. Also, I hope you six can answer truthfully."

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, Fang Zhanglao deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, 'I'd like to make a statement here. Regarding the six of you gaining something in the Transmission Cave Heaven, the sect will not investigate or demand it from you. If you want to hand it over to the sect, we will also give corresponding contribution points as compensation. Of course, just like Deng Baiquan mentioned earlier about the elixir, I think temporarily contributing a portion for the sect's alchemists to research, and then returning it to you afterwards, should put your minds at ease, right?'"

  Perhaps it was obvious that among the six people, some were more nervous. Fang Chang's words also reassured everyone's hearts.

  After that, everything went relatively smoothly.

  The six people who entered the Transmission Cave Heaven of Qingyun Sect each obtained a Dan medicine bottle. Fang Tian Nan only took out one of them. As Fang Tian Nan had guessed, Gu Yan Rao and Wu You both obtained middle-grade Dan medicine bottles, while the others, including Deng Bai Chuan, obtained lower-grade Dan medicine bottles.

  Each bottle contains ten pills.

  Wu You's, because she had taken some before, only seven pills were left, which was the least. As for the others, there were ten pills in each of their medicine bottles, completely intact.

  What Fang Tiannan took out to show was the elixir bottle placed in the middle layer. At first, Fang Tiannan also thought about whether to directly take out the elixir bottle at the very bottom. After all, Fang Tiannan's mind at this time was thinking about how to hide his clumsiness and not reveal the fact that he had obtained the ultimate inheritance.

  However, after careful consideration, Fang Tian Nan still took out the Dan medicine bottle in the middle layer. Firstly, it was not only Fang Tian Nan who obtained the middle-layered Dan medicine among the people of Qing Yun Sect; secondly, since Fang Tian Nan could reach the final trial's palace hall as an outer sect disciple, if there wasn't a certain reason, it would be hard to explain.

  Fang Tian Nan couldn't say that he had obtained the boundary plate, but also because he had gained the strange energy of the two demon beasts guarding the Transmission Cave Heaven.

  It's better to let Fang Tian Nan directly confess everything and say that he has obtained the ultimate inheritance.

  When Fang Tian Nan took out the Dan medicine, it was of a mid-tier level. Many people in the conference hall looked at him with a new gaze. Even Fang Zhang Lao, when looking at Fang Tian Nan, had eyes that shone brightly, as if he wanted to see through him.

  It was Wu You who instead had the mood to tease Fang Tian Nan at this time, saying: "I knew it, you can make it to the end, you must be exceptionally talented."

  Fang Tian Nan heard this and could only smile bitterly. If he was truly talented, why would he have to work so hard for three years as an ordinary disciple?

  。。。。。。

  "Judging from the current situation, the grade of the Dan medicine obtained should be related to your respective innate attributes." A staff member in the Dan medicine house analyzed after examining the six bottles of Dan medicine, "I think Wu You's words mean that those who obtain middle-grade Dan medicine have all reached the final test?"

  "I think it should be like this." Wu You thought for a moment and nodded.

  Wu You's innate talent was originally higher than that of Deng Baichuan, who was also a disciple of the inner sect. Although in terms of actual strength, Wu You was slightly inferior to Deng Baichuan, this was because Wu You was much younger than Deng Baichuan. Therefore, everyone more or less agreed with the explanation given by the person in charge of the Dan Medicine Room.

  "In the middle layer, there were five elixir bottles. Our sect was able to obtain three of them, which is enough to show that our disciples have already surpassed many other sects in terms of fire attribute. The steward couldn't help but sigh and continue, 'It's just unknown who got the elixirs on the upper layer.'"

  "Heh heh, I think that bottle of Dan medicine probably hasn't been obtained by anyone yet." Another elderly person said, perhaps seeing the curious gazes of many people, and continued to explain, "Anyway, I think that with Gu Yan's talent and qualifications, he can't obtain the top-grade Dan medicine, so the chances for everyone else are also slim."

  "Hmm." Fang Zhang nodded in consideration of Gu Yan's talent.

  Many others, upon hearing this, also nodded subconsciously. This made Fang Tian Nan feel slightly puzzled in his heart. Although it was true that none of the others had obtained the top-grade elixir, not even Fang Tian Nan himself would have gotten it if he hadn't been last and had the help of the two strands of demonic energy within him.

  However, judging from the information that everyone has shown about Gu Yan Rao's talent, Fang Tian Nan always felt that Gu Yan Rao's innate talent would not be as simple as "outstanding".

  "The effects of these elixirs are basically all targeted at fire-attribute cultivators." The manager of the alchemy room continued, "Wu You were able to try taking the elixir during the trial process, it's your good luck that nothing major happened, but next time, you must remember not to casually take unknown-effect elixirs."

  Wu You heard this and couldn't help but cutely stick out her tongue.

  "Generally speaking, these elixirs are all about increasing the cultivator's true yuan within their body." The manager of the alchemy room shook his head with a hint of helplessness as he watched Wu You's performance and said, "However, mid-grade elixirs compared to those placed on the lower level are even more refined. After consumption, the effect is also faster and stronger. However..."

  He said, looking at Fang Tian Nan and the other three outer sect disciples with a meaningful gaze, "Although this is a highly effective rapid recovery true yuan pill, its value is very high. As for the refining technique used, I temporarily can't see anything out of the ordinary. However, unless you're at the Human Yuan boundary or higher, it's best not to take it."

  "Thanks for the reminder." A disciple of the Outer Sect next to Fang Tian Nan immediately nodded in gratitude.

  However, as for whether to exchange the elixir with the sect, this outer disciple was not foolish and would not take the initiative to bring it up. Although it is currently unusable, it doesn't hinder keeping it, and after advancing to the Human Yuan realm later, it can be used. This elixir obtained from the Transmission Cave Heaven, even the manager of the Elixir House couldn't see the refining method, and with Wu You's previous appearance, the effect of this elixir was exceptionally good. Relying on the effect of the elixir, Wu You climbed to the Hundred Steps Platform. If he still thought about exchanging it with the sect and not keeping it for himself, then it could only be said that this outer disciple had a silly brain.

  The high-ranking members of Qingyun Sect naturally also understood the thoughts in the minds of their disciples, so no one suggested that these elixirs be handed over.

  Moreover, there was also the previous promise of Fang Lao.

  The person in charge of the Dan medicine house can only take out one pill from each bottle of Dan medicine for research by the sect. If the Dan medicine is damaged during this period, the sect will still compensate the owners of the Dan medicine.
