"Who goes there!"
"State your name!"
Seeing that the two were slow to produce their respective credentials, one of the four guards roared.
Ye Fei did not get angry. He directly took out the letter of recommendation he carried with him.
He handed both his and Yun Chuchu's letters to the guard.
After successful verification, Ye Fei and Yun Chuchu put the recommendation letters back into their pockets and then leisurely entered the Pill Sect.
As soon as he entered, Ye Fei felt the rich spiritual energy and the fragrant aroma of pills.
"It smells so good!"
"I feel so at peace!"
Yun Chuchu took a light sniff of the air and exclaimed.
"Little girl, this is just the beginning!"
"Let's hurry and deliver this recommendation letter to the teacher!"
Yun Chuchu was also in a very good mood. She had been interested in alchemy since childhood and had read many books on alchemy in private, but it had always been theoretical, never practiced in reality.
But now, her chance had finally come!
How could she not be excited?
"Young Master Ye, let's go quickly!"
At this time, Yun Chuchu's facial scar had not fully recovered. Although she was no longer wearing a mask, a veil was inevitably draped over her face.
This gave her an air of mystery.
"This is it!"
Having successfully found the office for collecting identity plaques, Ye Fei and Yun Chuchu knocked on the office door.
"Come in!"
A clear voice replied.
Ye Fei and Yun Chuchu exchanged glances and walked in.
After looking at their recommendation letters, the teacher in the blue brocade robe did not make things difficult for them.
After all, Elder Liu had already informed him that two of his students would be reporting soon.
So he was not surprised.
However, he was still a little surprised.
He did not expect their cultivation to be so low!
Could it be that their alchemy talent was so high that Elder Liu accepted them exceptionally?
He had no way of knowing.
"Here are your identity plaques, and here are the keys to your residences."
"Take good care of them!"
The teacher smiled and said again.
"It's better to arrive early than to arrive late!"
"Today happens to be the annual New Student Trial Week!"
"Every new student in our Pill Sect needs to collect a certain amount of medicinal herbs within the time specified for the New Student Trial Week."
"As for what kind of medicinal herbs need to be collected, only the teacher who assigns the task knows."
Seeing that Ye Fei and Yun Chuchu were listening attentively, the teacher continued to explain.
"As disciples of the Pill Sect, you are required to complete corresponding tasks each year to earn points."
"If you fail to complete them by the end of the year, you will be dismissed."
"What I just said are the basic requirements for disciples of our Pill Sect."
"If there are no problems, you can now return to your residences and tidy up."
"You can come to the plaza in the afternoon to gather for the trial."
Ye Fei and Yun Chuchu exchanged glances and then left the teacher's office together.
A quarter of an hour later, the two finally found their courtyard.
As their courtyards were very close, they could reach them in just a few steps.
"Young Master Ye, see you this afternoon!"
Being in a hurry to tidy up, Yun Chuchu greeted Ye Fei and then entered her courtyard to start tidying up noisily.
Ye Fei, on the other hand, threw down his bag and looked around. He found that the courtyard was indeed quite to his liking.
Time flew by, and it was already afternoon.
Both of them had tacitly changed into training outfits.
"Let's go!"
"We're running out of time!"
Ye Fei urged.
By the time they arrived at the plaza, quite a few people were already waiting there.
Although Ye Fei's cultivation had reached the early stage of the sixth level of Qi Condensation, it was still too low compared to most new students who were at the early stage of the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
Therefore, upon their arrival, Ye Fei and Yun Chuchu were met with a barrage of scornful looks, and few cast friendly glances their way.
The young master, who was wearing a jade crown and looked like a steamed bun, was enjoying the flattery from those around him. When he spotted Yun Chuchu, he immediately pushed aside the crowd around him and, squinting, walked up to her.
After admiring her slender figure, he smiled and extended his hand towards her, saying,
"Hello, mysterious beauty!"
"May I have the honor of getting to know you?"
Seeing that Yun Chuchu did not react, he rubbed his hands together and said again,
"Beautiful lady, let me introduce myself first!"
"I am the grandson of Elder Pu of our Pill Sect!"
"I am also a new student of the Pill Sect this year!"
"What do you say, is my identity enough for you to get to know me?"
The steamed bun-like young man said confidently.
Yun Chuchu, having grown up in wealth and comfort, directly turned away in disgust, not even looking at him directly.
This action, in the eyes of the steamed bun-like young man, immediately ignited a spark of anger in him.
However, he still managed to suppress it and said with a smile,
"I like people with spirit like you!"
"I'm liking you more and more!"
"Little beauty, with my extraordinary family background and handsome appearance, don't you have any interest in me?"
Yun Chuchu was almost sickened by his shameless words, and she instinctively took a few more steps back.
However, her action was misunderstood!
He thought this little lady was playing hard to get and trying to trick him!
No longer caring about anything, he lunged forward.
Ye Fei thought he would hesitate, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant in broad daylight!
He directly flashed forward, appeared in front of Yun Chuchu, and grabbed the steamed bun-like young man.
The steamed bun-like young man thought he would surely embrace the beauty, but this小子 who appeared midway directly shattered his plan.
Moreover, the fact that this小子 actually apprehended him further fueled his rage!
"You brat, how dare you stop me? Are you tired of living?"
"I see you are also a new student of the Pill Sect. Didn't you bother to inquire before making a move? How dare you be so audacious as to attack me!"
The apprehended steamed bun-like young man tried to resist, but for some reason, Ye Fei's method rendered him unable to break free from Ye Fei's grasp despite struggling several times.
"Are you all dead men?"
"Hurry up and apprehend him!"
The steamed bun-like young man said indignantly.
His cronies then seemed to come to their senses and charged towards Ye Fei.
