Quick Transmigration: Finding a Successor for a Sect in JX3

Qu Yun carefully examined Li Xiangyi, then turned to Hong Fei and said, "Is your friend poisoned?"

"Master, you are truly amazing. You recognized it at a glance." Hong Fei gave a small compliment.

“Master, the reason I brought him here is to ask you to help him detoxify,” Hong Fei said again.

Upon hearing Hong Fei's words, Qu Yun beckoned Li Xiangyi to come to her side. Li Xiangyi glanced at Hong Fei, who nodded in response. Li Xiangyi then walked over to Qu Yun.

"Come, sit down." Qu Yun pointed to the chair next to her and gestured for Li Xiangyi to sit down.

Li Xiangyi bowed respectfully to Qu Yun before sitting down in the chair.

"Take your hand out and put it on the table. I'll take your pulse," Qu Yun said to Li Xiangyi.

Li Xiangyi obediently placed his hand on the table. Qu Yun took Li Xiangyi's pulse, then released his hand and said, "The poison in his body is difficult to cure. This poison is not a Gu, but it is alive. The main problem in curing it is that it's a bit complicated."

When Li Xiangyi heard Qu Yun say that curing the poison was troublesome, rather than impossible, his mood improved involuntarily. He hurriedly asked Qu Yun, "May I ask, Master, how can this poison be cured? And what are the difficulties involved?"

"This poison isn't difficult to cure, but the process is troublesome. To cure it, a Gu worm needs to enter your body and continuously devour the toxins until they are completely eliminated. However, this process is quite lengthy, and the Gu worm cannot be too far from its master, otherwise it might devour too many toxins and become uncontrollable. Your poison cannot be completely devoured by a single Gu worm. Once a Gu worm is saturated with the toxins it has consumed, another Gu worm needs to be summoned. So this process is very troublesome. Moreover, a disciple needs to be with you continuously for twelve hours a day. And how long they need to stay together? It also depends on when the toxins in your body are cleared, which makes finding someone a bit of a hassle." Qu Yun frowned as he spoke.

Upon hearing about the detoxification process, Li Xiangyi was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Hong Fei had been listening for a while, then looked at Li Xiangyi and then at Qu Yun. Hong Fei had an idea.

“Master, you don’t actually need to find someone else,” Hong Fei said to Qu Yun.

Qu Yun looked at Hong Fei with suspicion when she heard Hong Fei say that there was no need to look for anyone else.

Hong Fei walked over to Li Xiangyi and patted his arm. She said to Qu Yun, "Master, what do you think of Li Xiangyi? He's a man of impeccable character, loyal, principled, and with sound values. Would he be a suitable successor for your Five Poisons Sect?"

After Hong Fei finished speaking, Li Xiangyi looked at her in surprise. He quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Don't forget I have a master. How can you join another sect?"

After hearing Li Xiangyi's words, Hongfei smiled and then explained to Li Xiangyi, "I know you want a master, but that has little to do with you joining the Five Poisons."

“How could it be unrelated?” Li Xiangyi retorted.

Master Qu watched the two of them arguing with great interest, making no attempt to interrupt.

“It’s really okay.” Hong Fei raised her hand to interrupt Li Xiangyi before he could speak. “Let me explain first.”

"In the world of JX3, joining a sect and becoming an apprentice are two different things. Joining a sect doesn't mean you can't have an apprentice. Having an apprentice doesn't prevent you from joining a sect. In other words, after you join a sect, your apprentice is still your apprentice, nothing will change. At most, you'll just learn one more skill. It's that simple." Hong Fei finished speaking and looked at Li Xiangyi with bright eyes, "Do you understand?"

"I understand," Li Xiangyi nodded thoughtfully. But he still asked, "You want me to join the Five Poisons. But what does that have to do with the poison in my body?"

“Li Xiangyi, you’re not stupid, are you? Didn’t you think of this? After you join the Five Poisons Sect, won’t you need to practice Gu yourself? If you want to practice Gu, then you need to find poison, right? You don’t have any on you. Look! If you join the Five Poisons Sect, you’ll have readily available toxins to practice Gu. You won’t need to bother anyone else with antidotes. When the Gu is successfully practiced, the poison in your body will also be cured. Isn’t that a win-win-win situation?” Hong Fei said with exasperation.

Li Xiangyi thought about what Hong Fei said and felt it made a lot of sense. However, he was still a little hesitant.

"What are you still hesitating about?" Hongfei asked.

Li Xiangyi squatted down and whispered to Hong Fei, "I'm afraid I won't be used to the Five Poisons sect set." Li Xiangyi's face turned completely red as he finished speaking.

"Pfft~" Obviously, the leader of the Qu Yun sect also heard these words.

Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi looked at Qu Yun and found her looking at the cup in her hand, pretending that nothing had happened.

Li Xiangyi looked at Hong Fei again and said, "I really shouldn't be used to wearing those clothes."

“You can wear an outfit over your school uniform!” Red Jade said.

"Ah! School uniform, appearance?" Li Xiangyi asked.

"Oh, never mind that for now. Just join the Five Poisons Sect. You'll see once you join. You won't need to parade around in your school uniform every day," Hong Fei urged Li Xiangyi.

When Li Xiangyi heard Hong Fei say that, he agreed, since Hong Fei wouldn't harm him anyway.

Qu Yun waited until they finished speaking before asking, "Have you come to a decision?"

"It's all settled," Hong Fei said, giving Li Xiangyi a gentle nudge.

Li Xiangyi stood up from his chair, bowed to Qu Yun, and said, "Sect Leader Qu, I would like to join the Five Poisons Sect. Is that possible?"

"Alright, since you were introduced by Hong Fei, I trust Hong Fei. Welcome to join my Five Poisons Sect." Qu Yun gave Li Xiangyi a jade pendant representing the Five Poisons Sect.

Li Xiangyi accepted the jade pendant, and Hong Fei instructed him to bind it. After Li Xiangyi bound the jade pendant, the system was activated.

Li Xiangyi studied the system for a while and learned what school uniforms and appearances were. He breathed a long sigh of relief; thankfully, he didn't have to wear a school uniform and parade around in public.

Seeing that Li Xiangyi had activated the system, Qu Yun asked Hong Fei to take Li Xiangyi to do a mission.

After Hong Fei and Li Xiangyi emerged from the main hall, Hong Fei explained some basic facts about JX3 (Sword Net 3) to Li Xiangyi, so he wouldn't waste time and take the same detours as Hua Manlou had. Back then, Hua Manlou had failed because Hong Fei had forgotten, so Hong Fei had taught him some basic knowledge. Now, Hong Fei remembered it all.

After Li Xiangyi learned some basic knowledge, Hongfei wanted to take him on a mission. However, Li Xiangyi said he wanted to explore on his own; he enjoyed the thrill of solving puzzles.

Hong Fei glanced at Li Xiangyi speechlessly, and Li Xiangyi smiled back at Hong Fei.

"Tch! Fine, go by yourself if you want. I'm not keeping you company." Hong Fei turned her head away haughtily, leaving Li Xiangyi behind.

Seeing that Hong Fei had left, Li Xiangyi took out his jade pendant and opened the system. Eager to try it out, he followed the system's instructions to do the quest.
