Chu Xinghe was already wearing the black disciple robe that represented the elite.

Chu Xinghe sent away the fifth group of people who came to congratulate him today.

Just as Chu Xinghe was about to take a rest, more people arrived. This time, it was his own team, and everyone except Chu Cheng and the two traitors came.

"Brother Chu... congratulations..."

"Brother Chu, becoming an elite disciple should not make you forget about us, brothers. You should support us more in the future within the sect."

As the number one sect in the world, Vast Heaven Sect was powerful and had strict rules. Under normal circumstances, an ordinary inner disciple would need three to five years of hard work to become an elite disciple, even with good talent. It would be even more difficult for those with poor talent.

Elite disciples not only had a higher status than ordinary inner disciples, but they also had access to more resources and could learn more advanced techniques. Moreover, Chu Xinghe was personally mentored by the Grand Elder and had taken in disciples under his wing. How could his future be any worse?

Building a good relationship with Chu Xinghe now would benefit everyone.

"Oh... why hasn't Chu Cheng come?" Chu Xinghe asked knowingly.

"That guy is already an outer disciple. He can't just come to the inner sect whenever he wants," someone replied.

"That's right. He didn't even treat us like human beings when he was our captain before. Now that he's been demoted to the outer sect, let's see how arrogant he can still be."

The members of the team knew about Chu Cheng breaking Chu Xinghe's arm before, so they understood very well that despite being from the same hometown, there was no real friendship between them.

"That's right, he's an outer disciple now. What a pity..." Chu Xinghe sighed.

"A pity?" Zhao Dong, the cleverest member of the team, reacted to Chu Xinghe's words.

"Brother Chu, that guy didn't hesitate to attack us before. Look..." Zhao Dong's words made everyone's eyes light up.

"Tsk tsk... Dong, what you said is not right. Although that dog... cough... Chu Cheng is a bit shameless, despicable, and lowly, after all, we are from the same hometown. We are like brothers in a foreign land. How can you all turn against him?"

Zhao Dong and the others quickly apologized.

Chu Xinghe said with a heavy heart, "Let's just leave it at breaking his arm. We shouldn't go too far. After all, he is an outer disciple, right?"

"Brother Chu, you are magnanimous!"

"Brother Chu, you have a broad mind. We admire you. Let's do as Brother Chu says!"

After some flattery, Chu Xinghe sent away his former teammates.

Later, some ordinary inner disciples who entered the sect at the same time came to congratulate Chu Xinghe. He treated them one by one, saying that it was the favor of the Grand Elder and that he was just lucky.

Until the evening, Chu Xinghe received news that some of his team members went to visit Chu Cheng, but this guy was disrespectful and was beaten up by several people, breaking his arm. But he was just an outer disciple, so who would care?

At night, Chu Xinghe lay on his bed, looking at the tasks listed in the Compass of Misfortune. There were countless tasks, as long as they could make Vast Heaven Sect suffer losses. Everything was there.

Although Chu Xinghe missed the opportunity to become a Martial Emperor and be expelled from the sect this time, he looked at the Compass of Misfortune without any panic.

You could say that it is extremely difficult to stand out in a top sect like the Vast Heaven Sect, even as an elite disciple. After all, there are core disciples, direct disciples, and even chief disciples above them.

But if you want to find a way to get punished and be expelled from the sect, there are many options to choose from.

After a dreamless night, Chu Xinghe put on the elite disciple's robe the next morning and went to the cafeteria for breakfast, which belonged to the elite disciples.

He greeted other elite disciples along the way.

Surprisingly, the cafeteria for elite disciples was not comparable to that of ordinary disciples. Chu Xinghe ate four bowls of braised pork in a row and was completely satisfied.

Just as he was about to leave, two dejected elite disciples came from behind. At first glance, the elite disciple robes they were wearing had the same crane pattern belonging to the Elder as his own, indicating that they were also elite disciples under the Elder.

"Hello, senior brothers."

"Oh..." The two of them didn't even bother to look up at Chu Xinghe and found their own places to sit and eat.

Chu Xinghe didn't mind and was about to leave when one of the elite disciples spoke up, "Ma Biao, I'm afraid I'm done for this time."

Ma Biao sighed and said, "Shen Chun, you know, the Elder is best at alchemy, so all the disciples under him have to study alchemy. But the Elder hates those disciples who don't put in effort the most. This time, you actually blew up the furnace while refining medicine. The Elder was so angry that even his beard was crooked. You won't be able to escape punishment."

"Ah!"

Shen Chun exclaimed, "Then how will I be punished?"

"Light punishment would be a month of confinement, and severe punishment would be directly revoking your status as an elite disciple."

"No... I just became an elite disciple. I can't..."

Shen Chun was on the verge of tears, but Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up!

What's this? You can receive punishment just by blowing up the furnace while refining medicine? Light punishment is confinement, and severe punishment is directly revoking the status as an elite disciple? This is a good thing!

He quickly glanced at the Compass of Misfortune and indeed found similar tasks.

Being confined can directly promote to Martial Master?

Having the status as an elite disciple revoked can directly promote to Martial Grandmaster?

Damn!

Chu Xinghe's excitement made his stomach churn along with the braised pork.

In this world, cultivators are divided into nine grades, from the lowest First Grade to the highest Ninth Grade.

First Grade Martial Artist is the cultivation level Chu Xinghe is at now, which is considered just a beginner.

Second Grade Martial Master.

Third Grade Martial Grandmaster.

Fourth Grade Martial Ancestor.

Fifth Grade Martial Spirit.

Sixth Grade Martial King.

Seventh Grade Martial Saint.

Eighth Grade Martial Venerable.

The one above Martial Emperor is said to be the Martial God realm, but the specifics are beyond Chu Xinghe's understanding.

The unique ability of the Compass of Misfortune allows oneself to completely open up a path of reverse cultivation.

Being confined can promote one to Martial Master! Losing the qualification of an elite disciple directly promotes one to Third Grade Martial Grandmaster.

Well, if one were to steadily cultivate on their own, although their talent is not bad, it would probably be difficult to reach this level without two or three years.

But now... Chu Xinghe excitedly ran up to two dejected senior brothers, bowed ninety degrees without saying a word, and made them completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

Leaving the cafeteria, Chu Xinghe hurriedly made his way to Spirit Crane Palace. Vast Heaven Sect occupies the entire Vast Heaven Mountain Range, and each elder has their own mountain peak. The mountain peak of the Grand Elder is called Spirit Crane Palace, which is also the most abundant and best place in terms of spiritual energy, aside from the Sect Master.

Chu Xinghe walked all the way to Spirit Crane Palace and, after verifying his identity, entered the palace.

The Grand Elder is a Ninth Grade alchemy Great Grandmaster, who uses medicine to enter the Dao, so disciples under his sect are also required to learn the way of alchemy.

Chu Xinghe arrived at the Medicine King Palace in the center of Spirit Crane Palace, and the scent of medicine wafted out from it.

Smelling the fragrance of medicine, Chu Xinghe hurriedly stepped into the Medicine King Palace.

After some inquiries, Chu Xinghe found an elite disciple named Feng Fei. The four cauldron patterns on his chest told Chu Xinghe that he is a Fourth Grade alchemist, and Feng Fei is also the senior brother who guides disciples in their cultivation on regular days.

The Grand Elder and many other elders are busy with affairs and cannot personally teach every day, so most of the time, disciples under the sect are taught by other selected high-level disciples. Feng Fei is the teaching disciple for today.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, your deeds of not being arrogant when rewarded and not being startled when punished have spread throughout the Vast Heaven Sect. It is admirable that you stood up for your fellow townsman." Feng Fei obviously knows Chu Xinghe, and his words made Chu Xinghe feel a little embarrassed. After all, his fellow townsman probably won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a month.

"Senior Brother Feng, I want to learn alche... cough... alchemy!" Chu Xinghe was so excited that he almost blurted out his inner thoughts.

"Since Junior Brother wants to learn, I will personally teach you. However, the art of alchemy requires extremely high talent..." Feng Fei rambled on for a while, and Chu Xinghe didn't remember a single word until Feng Fei mentioned the precautions, which caught Chu Xinghe's attention.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, the first step in learning alchemy is fire control. Each person naturally has a different flame they can control. Only those who can control spiritual fire can learn alchemy. Next, I will test your spiritual fire for you. However, Junior Brother Xinghe, remember, during the testing of spiritual fire, when the spiritual fire soaks into the pill furnace, you must not lose focus. Otherwise, if the spiritual fire loses control and causes the furnace to explode, it will be troublesome. The Grand Elder detests this the most, and the punishment is severe."

Feng Fei had a serious expression, while Chu Xinghe nodded solemnly.

After saying so much, Chu Xinghe only remembered a few points...

First... if one loses control, the furnace will explode.

Second... the punishment for exploding the furnace is severe.

Absolutely perfect!

Following Feng Fei, Chu Xinghe arrived at the Vermilion Bird Hall to test the spiritual fire. Feng Fei explained the method to Chu Xinghe in great detail once again.

He instructed Chu Xinghe that even if the test failed, it didn't matter. He could try again next time. But he absolutely must not lose control and cause the spiritual fire to explode the furnace. He also mentioned that Chu Xinghe was personally mentored by the Elder, so he must not disappoint the Elder.

"Feng Senior, rest assured!"

Chu Xinghe gave Feng Fei a determined look. Seeing Feng Fei nod in satisfaction, Chu Xinghe was also very pleased. Don't worry, Feng Senior, I never disappoint when it comes to disappointing people!

With everything ready, Chu Xinghe sat in front of the fire pit. He followed Feng Fei's instructions and infused his spiritual power into the fire pit. In an instant, the fire rose and changed from red to orange.

Seeing this scene, Feng Fei was delighted. The change in the fire directly indicated that Chu Xinghe should have the ability to control the spiritual fire.

But just as Feng Fei was excited to see how high Chu Xinghe's spiritual fire could reach, the originally orange fire instantly exploded.

"Boom!" The terrifying spiritual fire burst out from the depths of the earth and swept over the alchemy furnace. Under the high temperature of the spiritual fire, the furnace turned red.

"Xinghe Junior, stop!" Feng Fei realized that Chu Xinghe had lost control.

Stop? I finally made the spiritual fire go wild, and you want me to stop?

Chu Xinghe completely ignored Feng Fei's words. Give me more firepower! The furnace will explode today!

Seeing that Chu Xinghe didn't react at all, Feng Fei thought that Chu Xinghe had lost control. At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else and quickly mobilized his own spiritual power to suppress Chu Xinghe's spiritual fire.

After Feng Fei's power was injected, the spiritual fire was indeed suppressed to some extent, and Feng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

But Chu Xinghe was furious... I'm about to explode the furnace, I can't let Feng Fei ruin my good fortune. At this moment, Chu Xinghe didn't care about anything else.

With full firepower, all of his spiritual power was poured into the spiritual fire.

In an instant, the spiritual fire, which was about to extinguish, changed from orange to crimson, and then from crimson to golden red. The terrifying flames instantly swept away the spiritual power that Feng Fei had suppressed.

Feng Fei was shocked, but just as he was in a panic, a faint cry came from the spiritual fire. The next moment, the golden red spiritual fire made the already crumbling alchemy furnace unable to withstand the power of the flames.

"Boom..." A loud explosion accompanied the scattering of flames. Feng Fei could only protect Chu Xinghe and escape.

The alchemy furnace exploded, and the flames instantly engulfed the room in the Vermilion Bird Hall, turning the entire room into ashes.

Feng Fei stared in disbelief at the destroyed room, with only one thought in his mind... It's over!

But Chu Xinghe looked at the destroyed room with joy in his heart.

This time, I want to see who can stop me!
