Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

"I'm finished? That's impossible!" Ye Kong lay back down. "However, I have a feeling that the matter of being conferred as an elder tomorrow won't go smoothly. I need to prepare in advance!"

At five in the morning, Ye Kong's door was knocked.

Ye Kong rubbed his eyes and went to open the door. "Who is it?"

Ye Kong opened the door and was taken aback by the scene before him.

Three rows of disciples in red clothes stood at the door, holding large flags, arranged in a three-by-three formation. The two disciples at the front held wooden boxes, looked at Ye Kong, and said, "Today is the ceremony for conferring the title of elder. Please, Elder Ye Kong, first wash and dress, and then follow us to pay respects to the past ancestral elders of the Tengyun Sect!"

"Wait, it's not even dawn yet? Are your ancestors awake?" Ye Kong asked in a grumpy tone, still half-asleep.

"This is the rule for conferring the title of elder. Please, Elder Ye Kong, be sure to follow it."

Li Fan, who was awakened by the noise, saw the huge formation before him and asked, "What's going on here?"

Ye Kong told him to go back to sleep. "It's nothing, just washing and dressing."

Li Fan couldn't sleep either, and he watched Ye Kong with eager eyes.

Immediately afterward, a group of female disciples entered, holding makeup tools, as many as sixteen, filling the room completely, surrounding Ye Kong so tightly that he couldn't breathe.

Half an hour later, the female disciples dispersed. In front of the mirror, Ye Kong, wearing a large red robe and with exquisite makeup, was completely different.

Li Fan stared at Ye Kong for a few moments and said, "Ye Kong, you look like that, what's it called, yes, a new bride waiting to be married!"

Hahaha…

Ye Kong stood up, unable to move due to being entangled by the layers of skirts, and could only verbally warn, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you out!"

The disciples outside came in and helped Ye Kong onto the sedan, heading towards Xuan Yuan Mountain.

Li Fan immediately got up and followed.

As the sedan was lifted, music began to play.

Now, even if Ye Kong was a young maiden sitting in a bridal sedan—for the first time—he knew that these people were treating him like a new bride being sent off!

What a great insult.

Ye Kong was about to get up when the clothes tightly restrained him. He reached out to hold the sedan door, and two talismans appeared before his eyes.

The sedan confined him within.

Playing dirty, huh?

Ye Kong opened his mouth to speak, but his throat was blocked by a thick substance. Only then did he remember that before getting into the sedan, the disciple who opened the door had him drink a cup of tea.

Now he could only seek help from the system.

The system arrived very quickly.

[The host has now entered the Xuan Yuan Mountain barrier. This bridal sedan has been imbued with ultimate spiritual power, coupled with the mute water you drank just now, it will take about eight hours to completely dissolve.]

Eight hours? Wouldn't the conferring ceremony be over by then? So, this is what they were waiting for?

"Is there no other way?" Ye Kong asked, "Even shortening the time would be fine."

[The only solution is for someone to find the location of the sedan and reach out to remove the two talismans on the sedan door.]

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Does this place look like there's anyone around?

Ye Kong could only feel the sedan shaking non-stop, as if it was going to send him somewhere.

[The Holy Spirit Furnace is about to be reached! All spiritual entities, upon encountering it, will be reduced to ashes.]

Damn it!

Ye Kong could already feel the waves of heat coming from all directions. In that instant, all the events flashed through his mind, and in the end, he only worried about one thing.

Li Fan, with his weak spiritual power, how would he survive in the Tengyun Sect without his care?

"Ye Kong!"

Ye Kong heard someone call him.

"Ye Kong, where are you?"

The voice became clearer and clearer.

But Ye Kong couldn't answer, and he was so anxious that he kicked the bottom of the sedan repeatedly.

Suddenly, the sedan door in front of Ye Kong was pushed open, and Li Fan's face appeared at the sedan door.

This must be a hallucination.

Ye Kong couldn't say it, so frustrating!

Li Fan also saw that something was wrong with Ye Kong. "What's going on? Are your five senses disabled?"

The kid knows quite a bit.

Ye Kong helplessly pointed with his eyes to the two large talismans on the sedan door behind Li Fan.

Li Fan stepped out of the sedan, saw the talismans on the sedan door, and asked, "Then what? Tear them off?"

Ye Kong rolled his eyes.

Li Fan tore off the talismans. Instantly, all the restraints on Ye Kong's body were broken, and the stuff in his throat was spat out. He finally let out a earth-shattering long cry!

"Finally free!"

"Wait, Ye Kong, don't be too excited yet." Li Fan really wanted to remind Ye Kong of his current situation.

But Ye Kong was now overjoyed and inappropriately did a backflip in the narrow sedan.

Immediately afterward, with a loud crash, the sedan, which was stopped above the Holy Spirit Furnace, couldn't withstand it and tilted its head, falling straight down!

"Ahhh! Ye Kong, what did I tell you!" Li Fan wailed.

Ye Kong immediately got up, broke open the sedan with one hand, and rushed up with Li Fan. The sedan under his feet shattered into several pieces and fell straight into the Holy Spirit Furnace, instantly turning into ashes.

This wasn't ordinary fire; it was the fire of the Holy Spirit Furnace!

The flames of the Holy Spirit Furnace kept spewing outwards. The two jumped onto the flat ground beside them and realized that at some point, half of the clothes on their bodies had been roasted by the fire of the Holy Spirit Furnace, leaving the remaining half tattered and unsightly.

Li Fan, still in shock, suddenly thought of something. "By the way, Ye Kong, I saw two sedans leaving the side room. One carried you to Xuan Yuan Mountain, and the other went straight to Qichao Courtyard, probably to replace you!"

"It doesn't matter; it's still not too late to go over there now!" Ye Kong was about to get up when he suddenly heard a violent rumble behind him.

"Did you hear anything?" Ye Kong asked.

"Ye Kong, watch out behind you!" Li Fan exclaimed.

Ye Kong turned around, and a terrifying behemoth appeared above the Holy Spirit Furnace.

It coiled its body, covered with black, grape-like black balls, and glaring rows of eyeballs!

"What is this ferocious beast?"

On the other side, inside Qichao Courtyard, Teng Huairen sat at the very top, with the six elders sitting on either side. The remaining disciples sat on the ground, filling the courtyard, all waiting for Ye Kong's arrival.

Ye Kong was late, causing constant controversy among the crowd.

At this time, Tian Yuan rushed over and whispered to Elder Chengtian, "Elder, the ferocious beast in the Holy Spirit Furnace has come out!"

"What's going on, Elder Chengtian?" Teng Huairen asked.

"The ferocious beast of the Holy Spirit Furnace has inexplicably escaped. The newly appointed Elder Ye Kong has already gone to slay it," Elder Chengtian replied.

"This ferocious beast of the Holy Spirit Furnace has been suppressed here for many years. How could it suddenly come out? Moreover, even the six elders together cannot subdue it. Ye Kong alone is probably not enough.

"All disciples, set off immediately for Xuan Yuan Mountain!"
