Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

The pill refining competition ended.

The crowd dispersed one after another.

Xiao Ling’er was one of the fastest to leave.

After exiting this small world, she immediately reunited with Duan Qingyao and then disappeared into the crowd.

However…

If someone with ulterior motives wanted to find them, they would definitely not be able to escape.

Within the city.

Many major forces took action upon hearing the news.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion: “Find a way to keep Xiao Ling’er. Remember to be polite. If she is willing to join, her treatment will definitely be ten times, even a hundred times better than in the Embracing Moon Sect.”

The Hongwu Pill Refiners Self-Help Association: “A pill refining genius like Xiao Ling’er should join our association. Who is willing to go and negotiate?”

The Liu Family: “Humph, that Xiao Ling’er is indeed extremely talented and comes from the Embracing Moon Sect. The success rate of recruiting her is not low, but this old man believes that Fan Jianqiang is more suitable!”

“Patriarch, think twice. No matter how you look at it, Fan Jianqiang doesn’t seem like the type to hide his strength and pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger.”

“Yes, Patriarch. That kid is just lucky and encountered a one-in-a-million probability.”

“You know nothing! This old man believes in fate. As the saying goes, first fate, second luck, third feng shui… Our Liu family’s strength in this Hongwu Immortal City can only be considered medium-low, but why has it been developing vigorously and staying upstream all these years?!”

“It’s because of fate, which is what you call luck! Good fate is his greatest capital. This old man wants to gather luck!”

“Moreover, he is just a casual cultivator, and there will definitely be fewer people competing. Wouldn’t the success rate of recruiting him be higher?”

“Go quickly!”

“Ah? Yes, Patriarch.”

“We underestimated you.”

Inside the inn.

Duan Qingyao smiled wryly. At this moment, her expression was complex, with joy and worry intertwined.

“It was just a fluke and an extraordinary performance.”

Xiao Ling’er responded like this, but also frowned slightly: “Elder is worried that someone…”

“Hmm.”

“It’s all my fault.”

There were some things she was not easy to say.

Because before this, she estimated that Xiao Ling’er had just entered the sect not long ago and her cultivation was not high, and she never thought that Xiao Ling’er could win the championship. Even if she could achieve a slightly better result, it would already be burning high incense, right?

Therefore, she did not do any disguise, and what was reported was also her family name.

But who knew that Xiao Ling’er would be so heaven-defying and win the championship in one fell swoop!

At this moment, it was already too late to regret.

Duan Qingyao sighed softly: “It’s all my fault. I was not confident enough in you and also too weak. And our Embracing Moon Sect is also lacking in foundation now; otherwise, although these rewards and your pill refining skills are not ordinary, few people would dare to mess around.”

“Unfortunately…”

“Our trip is probably dangerous.”

“But I have already sent a message to the Great Elder and the others. They will come to respond as soon as possible.”

“This trip, I’m afraid we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.”

“If it really doesn’t work…”

Duan Qingyao hesitated.

Xiao Ling’er refused sternly: “Master and the sect treat disciples like their own children, without reservation. Disciples will definitely not change to another sect!”

“Alas, foolish child.”

Rubbing Xiao Ling’er’s head, Duan Qingyao said seriously: “Since that’s the case, our Embracing Moon Sect will live and die with you!”

“Elder, disciple believes that there is no need to worry too much.”

“Oh?”

“Cough, disciple had traveled outside before and was fortunate enough to discover an extremely profound method of disguise. If we disguise ourselves, leave the city quietly, it may not be noticed by anyone.”

Xiao Ling’er hesitated slightly: “However, we cannot meet with the other elders and master; otherwise, it will be exposed instead.”

“So, please ask Fifth Elder to contact master and tell him about this. Also… I would like to ask Fifth Elder to tell master one more thing.”

“What is it?”

Hearing her say that she had a profound disguise method, Duan Qingyao did not hold much hope.

There were countless disguise techniques.

But how many could prevent the detection of people with higher cultivation?

Very few!

However, she could not dampen Xiao Ling’er’s enthusiasm and could only decide to try for the time being and let the other elders respond not far away. If they were discovered, it would not be too late to fight desperately.

Xiao Ling’er also knew that Duan Qingyao did not believe it.

If she were in her place, she would not believe it either.

But she could not tell about her teacher’s existence and could only use her own magic, actually turning into an old woman with a hunched back and wrinkled face in Duan Qingyao’s astonished eyes.

“Fifth Elder, can you still recognize who I am?”

Duan Qingyao was shocked!

“The appearance is completely different, and even the divine sense is very different from before!”

“I can’t recognize you!”

It was actually possible?!

She couldn’t believe it: “This disguise technique…”

She was two major realms higher than Duan Qingyao and could not see any flaws. How powerful was that?

She did not know that this disguise technique could only ignore the detection of two major realms.

This alone was definitely not enough, but Xiao Ling’er also had Liang Danxia’s help, which could forcibly change the fluctuations of divine sense, so that even people in the sixth Knowing Fate realm could not detect it.

As for the seventh realm…

People in the seventh realm probably would not do such despicable things because of the rewards of the pill refining competition.

“Fifth Elder, do you believe it now?”

Xiao Ling’er smiled slightly and restored her original appearance: “I will pass this method to you later. Now, please ask Fifth Elder to send a message to master.”

“Good!”

Duan Qingyao nodded, and the gloom swept away: “What do you want to tell the sect master?”

“I found a person who is suspected of meeting the ‘personal disciple’ recruitment conditions and would like to ask master to come and find out.”

“What?!” Duan Qingyao was shocked again: “Who?!”

“Fan Jianqiang.”

“Him?”

Duan Qingyao blinked her eyes.

She had also been deceived and did not find anything special about Fan Jianqiang. She thought he was just lucky.

But after Xiao Ling’er’s reminder, she suddenly reacted.

“Yes, he is timid as a mouse, and if it is not luck but he has been hiding his strength… it is somewhat close to the eighth iron rule of accepting disciples.”

“Timid as a mouse, extremely cautious, constantly shouting that he will die?”

Xiao Ling’er said firmly: “He must be hiding his strength!”

“As a fellow alchemist, I have a feeling that this person’s pill refining skills are probably even above mine! I even think that the reason why he lost to me is deliberate.”

“Why is this?”

“It should be to avoid danger…”

“As a casual cultivator, once he wins the championship, his situation is more dangerous than ours.”

Duan Qingyao took a deep look at Xiao Ling’er.

Even if she was slow to react, she understood at this moment.

“Okay, I will send a message immediately!”

“This matter… is of great importance.”

Like Xiao Ling’er and Liang Danxia, Duan Qingyao and others did not understand the basis of this ‘iron rule of accepting disciples’, but Lin Fan had already proven it once!

The Xiao Ling’er in front of them was living proof!

Therefore, even if she did not understand, Duan Qingyao would not mess around, but would execute it extremely solemnly!

One Xiao Ling’er had already brought countless surprises to the sect. If another one came, wouldn’t it be a double blessing?!

However, this Fan Jianqiang was also extremely talented in pill refining?

Incomprehensible!

But the movements in her hands were not ambiguous at all. She immediately took out the communication jade slip to contact Lin Fan and told him about Xiao Ling’er’s discovery and the disguise-related matters.

Within the Embracing Moon Sect.

Lin Fan and the four elders were preparing to set off.

Suddenly, Lin Fan turned his hand and took out the communication jade slip.

“Hmm?”

His eyes lit up slightly.

“An extremely cautious guy who keeps saying ‘I’m going to die’?”

He was not surprised that Xiao Ling’er could come up with a disguise method. After all, she probably had a ‘grandpa in the ring’. It would be strange if she didn’t have these methods.

But this extremely cautious guy was a pleasant surprise.
