138: Assign positions

"Hmm, he is also a loyal and righteous person."

Watching Huyan Zhuo in the illusion, burning his Emperor body to protect the low-level disciples of the Qingtian Sect, Li Big Saber nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, with a wave of his large hand, he pulled out Huyan Zhuo, who was on the verge of death in the illusion.

Since the illusion test had reached this point, Huyan Zhuo's loyalty was unquestionable, so there was no need to continue.

"Ah! This old man will perish together with you three dogs!"

Although Huyan Zhuo had left the illusion, he was still not fully awake, charging towards Li Big Saber with the intention of dragging him down to mutual destruction.

"Fellow Daoist Huyan, wake up." Li Big Saber looked helpless, sending a stream of power into Huyan Zhuo's body to awaken his consciousness.

"Huh, Great Elder, didn't you and the Sect Master go up to the Starry Sky?"

"Did you know the Sect was in danger and specifically came back to rescue us?"

Huyan Zhuo recovered his senses, looked at Li Big Saber with joy, and asked, completely unaware that what he had just experienced was an illusion.

"Fellow Daoist Huyan, that was just an illusion. You were too deeply immersed."

Li Big Saber rolled his eyes at Huyan Zhuo and then explained.

This guy had looked down on the Illusion Demon Realm before entering, and now he couldn't even distinguish reality, which was quite amusing.

"What? That was an illusion?"

Hearing Li Big Saber's words.

Huyan Zhuo reacted, immediately crying out in surprise, staring dumbfounded at the illusion demon mirror behind him.

Since entering, he hadn't noticed anything unusual. He truly believed he had joined the Qingtian Sect long ago, which was why he fought so desperately to protect the Qingtian Sect's disciples.

This illusion demon mirror was truly terrifying; it could completely mislead even him, a Peak Great Emperor.

If the Qingtian Sect had harbored malicious intentions towards him, he wouldn't even have had a chance to leave alive just now.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Huyan, you have passed the test. Come with me to pay respects to the Sect Master, and see what instructions the Sect Master has for you."

Seeing Huyan Zhuo standing still, Li Big Saber couldn't help but speak up to remind him.

Now that Huyan Zhuo had passed the test, he was considered a member of the Qingtian Sect. The first order of business should be to pay his respects to Jiang Chen.

"Yes, yes, the Great Elder is right. I will go pay respects to the Sect Master immediately."

Huyan Zhuo snapped out of it and hurriedly followed Li Big Saber, walking towards the Main Hall.

Now, he was filled with awe towards the Qingtian Sect and Jiang Chen.

Previously, he thought that as a Peak Great Emperor, he could maintain the dignity expected of a Great Emperor Expert in front of Jiang Chen.

But after witnessing the power of the Illusion Demon Realm, he felt like a frog at the bottom of a well, completely unaware of the vastness of the sky.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of the Main Hall.

After receiving Jiang Chen's permission, Li Big Saber led Huyan Zhuo into the hall, bowed, and said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, Huyan Zhuo has passed the test. Please give your instructions."

Huyan Zhuo, standing beside him, also bowed and saluted, "Subordinate, Huyan Zhuo, greets the Sect Master!"

"Hmm, dispense with the formalities!"

Jiang Chen nodded and looked calmly at Huyan Zhuo, saying, "Huyan Zhuo, having passed the test and joined my Qingtian Sect today, you are now a member of my Qingtian Sect. This Sect Master will treat you the same as all other Great Emperors in the Qingtian Sect, without any discrimination."

"Thank you for the Sect Master's benevolence. This Subordinate will dedicate himself completely to the Sect until death."

Huyan Zhuo replied excitedly upon hearing this.

Although he had been deeply immersed in the illusion just now, achieving equal treatment from Jiang Chen made it all worthwhile.

"Hmm, very good."

Jiang Chen was extremely satisfied with Huyan Zhuo's attitude, and continued, "Huyan Zhuo, This Sect Master hereby appoints you as the Official Elder of the Artifact Refining Hall of the Qingtian Sect. Henceforth, you will be responsible for refining Sect clothing, weapons, and other items for the disciples."

"Yes, Sect Master, This Subordinate will certainly perform this duty well!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Huyan Zhuo immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"Alright, Big Saber, take him to assume his post, and give him an Immortal Crystal as his stipend."

Jiang Chen waved his hand at the two, signaling that they could withdraw.

"Yes, Sect Master, This Subordinate takes his leave!"

"Thank you, Sect Master, This Subordinate takes his leave!"

The two bowed and slowly withdrew from the great hall.

However, Li Big Saber's expression was calm, while Huyan Zhuo's old face was beaming with joy.

He hadn't expected the Qingtian Sect's Elder stipend to be settled in Immortal Crystals.

He had just officially joined the Qingtian Sect and was already receiving one Immortal Crystal as a stipend—this was something unimaginable before.

He swore that starting today, he would be diligent and conscientious in his role as the Artifact Refining Elder, ensuring that every Qingtian Sect disciple had clothes to wear and powerful weapons to wield.

[Ding, successfully recruited a Great Emperor Expert, obtaining one epic treasure chest.]

After the two left.

The System's reward notification sounded in Jiang Chen's mind.

"Heh heh, this treasure chest came too easily. System, open it for me."

Looking at the epic treasure chest in his Inventory, Jiang Chen immediately ordered the System to open it.

[Ding, epic treasure chest is opening.]

[Ding, obtained one great emperor peak summoning card.]

[Ding, obtained one great emperor first level cultivation boost card.]

[Ding, obtained one hundred million Immortal Crystals.]

[Ding, obtained the ultimate dao emperor weapon Heavenly Wolf Sword.]

"Not bad, not bad. One Immortal Crystal exchanged for one hundred million Immortal Crystals, plus two extra Peak Great Emperors. This is an incredible bargain."

Seeing that this epic treasure chest yielded another hundred million Immortal Crystals, Jiang Chen's face was full of smiles.

Taking Huyan Zhuo in this time was definitely a huge profit. He must pursue more opportunities like this in the future.

While happy, Jiang Chen glanced at the contents of his Inventory.

Currently, his Inventory contained four true immortal summoning cards, four Great Emperor Summoning Cards, over two hundred thousand Saint Realm Summoning Cards, the enlightenment tea tree, and other items.

The true immortal summoning cards were naturally reserved as trump cards, but the Great Emperor Summoning Cards all had to be used up.

Therefore, he planned to deal with these items first, and then return to study massage techniques with Liu Shu.

"Xiao Shu, This Sect Master has something to take care of. I'll come back later to experience your technique." Jiang Chen stood up from his chair and smiled faintly.

"Mhm, Sect Master, please come back quickly! I thought of another good technique, and I promise it won't disappoint you." Liu Shu nodded obediently.

"Haha, good. This Sect Master will certainly return quickly." Jiang Chen laughed heartily and vanished from the great hall.
