Chapter 980: Chapter 979: About to Die of Anger [Requesting Monthly Tickets]

"I want to know about the situation of the Elf Clan!" Yusuf Zuck was primarily interested in finding out what was going on with the elves.

"The Elf Clan?" Rafael Case gave him an odd look, not understanding why Zayden Newton was asking about the elves, but he still immediately responded, "The Elf Clan holds a unique status in our Campbell Sect. Every ascending elf is greeted by a disciple from the Seed Hall, and after their arrival, they are hidden from everyone’s view and taken to the core area. It is said that all elves are kept in the ’Heaven’s Heart Forest’ within the core area, where they roam freely."

"Of course, there are people specifically assigned to take care of them. Each of them is treasured. Not only can they be used in medicine and alchemy, but they can also become partners for dual cultivation, representing the ultimate prize. As long as you contribute to the sect, you can choose a beautiful elf from the Heaven’s Heart Forest, whether to kill, use in alchemy, or warm your bed is all up to you!"

"Because the elves are so rare, each use of an elf must be approved by a master’s hand gesture before they can be brought out of Heaven’s Heart Forest. I have seen my master, some of my senior and junior fellow disciples use elves in alchemy, extracting Spiritual Power from their lives. Ah, living beings, and beautiful women at that, it’s quite a pity to watch!"

"Have you not used them for your alchemy?" Yusuf Zuck glanced at Rafael Case.

"How would I qualify?" Rafael Case pouted. "Only Pill Masters above level ten are qualified to use an elf in alchemy, and even that is not unlimited. It’s hard to get even one slot a year."

"What is the highest level for a sect Pill Master?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"My grandmaster, level eleven, the most powerful Pill Master!"

"Level eleven? Isn’t there a level twelve?" Yusuf Zuck asked.

"Level twelve? There isn’t a single level twelve in the whole Middle Element World. Level twelve is legendary, the highest level that has long been extinct. Therefore, the strongest Pill Master in the Middle Element World is level eleven, and our Campbell Sect has only one. There are quite a few at level ten, but they are also very rare."

"Why do you ask about the elves?" Rafael Case suddenly asked.

"I want to rescue the elves!"

"My god... thump..." Rafael Case actually fell off his chair, his face turning pale. He was frightened by Yusuf Zuck’s statement.

"Can’t you be a bit more ambitious?" Yusuf Zuck kicked Rafael Case in frustration, thinking him a cowardly old fool.

"Isn’t that a suicide mission? Considering my status, I don’t even qualify to enter the core area, let alone go to Heaven’s Heart Forest?"

"You call that status? Get up, now," Yusuf Zuck said dismissively, not wanting to waste words with the coward, and began pacing around the room.

It seemed that for the time being, he could not get close to the elves, due to a lack of ability and status.

He hadn’t dared to be presumptuous enough to sneak in and steal someone. Perhaps he was strong now, but facing beings like Golden Immortals or Ultimate Immortals, would he not be annihilated within minutes?

Rafael Case obediently sat down, and after Yusuf Zuck had walked around the room a few more times, he suddenly asked, "How can one get close to the elves, or to the Heaven’s Heart Forest?"

"This..." Rafael Case thought for a moment, "If you make a significant contribution to the sect, you get a chance to choose an elf from Heaven’s Heart Forest, but just one chance."

"Besides making a contribution, becoming a level ten Pill Master will also allow you access, though not frequently, at most once or twice a year, unless you become a level eleven Grand Pill Master like my grandmaster. Perhaps then you can enter and take someone at will."

"Furthermore, becoming a disciple in the Seed Hall of the Inner Sect is another way. The Seed Hall’s disciples manage the Elf Clan, overseeing and extracting as needed, some even residing permanently in Heaven’s Heart Forest to provide care."

"Of course, another possibility is that you could become an elder or something similar within the sect."

"Become a Seed Hall Disciple? Watching over the accused?" Yusuf Zuck’s eyebrows shot up, "How does one become a Seed Hall Disciple?"

"Gulp..." Rafael Case swallowed his saliva, then shrank his neck like a thief, "Sir, no offense, but you have no hope of becoming a seed."

"I specifically asked you how to become a Seed Hall Disciple!" Yusuf Zuck was so angry that he felt an urge to slap him dead; Rafael’s mouth was too foul.

"Alright, alright, I’ll tell you," Rafael nodded vigorously, "Every three years, the Campbell Sect’s outer gate holds a large competition involving all members, that’s the whole 300,000 participating. Afterwards, they select the top hundred from these to enter the Inner Sect as Inner Sect Disciples."

"Once you become an Inner Sect Disciple, the Inner Sect holds a grand competition every ten years, then only the top ten are picked for the Seed Hall."

"Is it that simple?" Yusuf Zuck was stunned.

"It sounds simple, but sir, you’re out of luck, at least for now..." Rafael continued to deflate Yusuf, who probably hadn’t been looked down upon for many years except on account of his mouth.

Yusuf didn’t listen to Rafael’s spitballing as if he hadn’t heard a thing, but continued, "Now that I’m your disciple, how would I get into the Seed Hall?"

"Just the same," Rafael replied, "During the outer gate’s grand competition, just register and you’re in. But you’ll still be a disciple of the Alchemy College, staying and training there. If you make it into the top hundred, you can train at both the Inner Sect and the Alchemy College, learning Alchemy here today and cultivating there tomorrow, and your status will be much higher than that of ordinary Inner Sect Disciples!"

"Most of the disciples studying alchemy at the Alchemy College are from the Inner Sect."

"So I can enter the Inner Sect for study now, can’t I?" Yusuf Zuck asked back.

"No, no, no, you can’t yet!" Rafael immediately shook his head, "Today we are just bluffing here, just verbally saying you’re my disciple, I’m your Grand Pill Master. You have only earned my approval, so your current status is still that of a menial worker..."

"I’ll slap you dead," Yusuf Zuck cursed angrily.

Rafael, looking wronged, said, "The Alchemy College is strict about taking disciples. If I am to take you as a disciple, I first have to apply through my own Grand Pill Master, after all, taking a disciple is like starting a new lineage, so I must get approval from my Grand Pill Master."

"And after my Grand Pill Master approves, you would also have to pass the unified assessment of the Alchemy College. If you can’t pass, I still can’t take you as a disciple. After all, not just anyone can perform alchemy; you need the aptitude and the talent."

"Once approved by the Alchemy College, you will officially become my disciple under my wing, but still not an official Inner Sect Disciple. To become an Inner Sect Disciple, you still have to go through the outer gate’s triennial grand competition."

"Then you apply tomorrow, saying you want to take me as your disciple!" Yusuf Zuck said loudly.

"But you still have to pass the internal assessment after all, by then, if you don’t know how to perform alchemy, don’t recite texts, can’t differentiate herbs, you won’t pass any of it, it’ll be quite troublesome!"

"Then start teaching me right now, from this moment, teach me alchemy, teach me to recite, teach me to identify herbs."

"I... I... I... I’m only a second-level Pill Master, I can teach you to recite, I can teach you to identify herbs, but to teach you alchemy, I bloody well don’t know how!"

"Pfft..." This time, Yusuf Zuck truly felt like spitting blood, feeling a stifling frustration trapped in his chest that he couldn’t vent.
