Chapter 104: Women, Truly a Hassle

Xiao Fan was practically about to cough up blood from anger…

"Women… are truly a hassle."

In the end, Xiao Fan only said this one sentence. He suddenly thought of Long Caiwei, who would chatter incessantly in his ear all day long.

There was also Hang Zixuan, whom he had met at the Spirit Stone Mineral Vein; her brain didn't work quite right either, much like Nangong Lingxuan's…

At this moment, Xiao Fan even felt that many things the ancients said made a lot of sense…

A woman without talent is virtuous…

Only women and petty men are difficult to deal with…

Big breasts, no brains…

A moment later, three Elders walked out of the main hall: He Yutang, Elder Shi Ji, and Elder Cao Mu.

The three of them were here to lead Xiao Fan and the others to claim their Immortal Caves.

Jiang Yushan had always been arrogant and never deigned to do such things; naturally, no one would ask him to.

After all, the status of an Alchemist was prestigious…

In truth, Elder Cao Mu was also precious as an Artifact Refiner, but compared to an Alchemist, his status as an Artifact Refiner was slightly lower.

Furthermore, Elder Cao Mu's personality wasn't as arrogant as Jiang Yushan's.

"Xiao Fan, come with me," He Yutang spoke, his gaze turning toward Xiao Fan.

"Nangong Lingxuan, follow me," Elder Shi Ji said with a smile.

"Chen Feixing, come with me," Elder Cao Mu also spoke.

The three of them nodded and followed respectfully behind the three Elders.

Actually, the three were heading in the same direction—to the Outer Sect's Internal Affairs Pavilion. There, they could collect their introductory clothing, Identity Tokens, and so on.

Once they arrived, because they were accompanied by Elders, they didn't have to queue at all and were received directly by an Internal Affairs Pavilion Deacon.

The Internal Affairs Pavilion was enormous; the first floor alone could easily accommodate thousands of people. Everywhere, Utility Disciples in gray robes and Outer Sect Disciples in blue robes were busy.

Before long, Xiao Fan and the other two each received a Storage Pouch.

Sending their Divine Sense inside, they found three sets of blue Outer Sect Disciple robes, a jade token engraved with the three words "Jixian Sect," and several Jade Slips.

"Take out the Identity Jade Tokens from your Storage Pouches. These tokens have already been marked; imprint your Divine Sense onto them, and from now on, they will be your proof of identity as Jixian Sect Disciples."

Hearing the Internal Affairs Pavilion Deacon's words, Xiao Fan and the other two complied.

After imprinting their Divine Sense, the jade tokens emitted a faint blue light, indicating they had been activated…

After the imprinting, Xiao Fan could feel that inside the jade token…

…there was a string of numbers: Fifty.

Below that was a line of text: Earth Rank Low Grade.

"Once the imprint recognizes its master, this jade token will record your Contribution Points in the Jixian Sect, which you can check. Any items you need to exchange for within the Sect will require these Contribution Points."

The Internal Affairs Pavilion Deacon explained, "There are also several Jade Slips in the Storage Pouch. You can check them yourselves later; they contain information you need to know about being in the Jixian Sect."

Xiao Fan and the other two nodded in thanks.

With that done, the three began to select their Immortal Caves.

The Internal Affairs Pavilion Deacon brought out a distribution map of the Outer Sect Immortal Caves. They were scattered throughout the Jixian Sect's Outer Sect, some near and some far, each with its own advantages.

The selection order began with Xiao Fan.

After all, coming in first wasn't for nothing.

Xiao Fan took a few looks and chose an Immortal Cave that was relatively secluded but rich in Spiritual Qi.

Then it was Nangong Lingxuan and Chen Feixing's turn to choose.

The Immortal Caves the three selected were all in the same area, not too far from each other.

Once this was finished, the Internal Affairs Pavilion Deacon gave each of them a Golden Token.

"Infuse your Essence Blood, and the Immortal Cave will then automatically recognize its master."

The three nodded and complied. After the series of tasks was complete, He Yutang and the other two Elders led them away to their respective chosen Immortal Caves.

He Yutang flew through the air with Xiao Fan. They moved quickly and soon arrived at the Immortal Cave he had selected.

This place was different from a courtyard; the surrounding Spiritual Qi was dense, with mountain forests and greenery everywhere. A massive stone door sealed a cavern.

Likely because he had already bound it with his blood, as soon as Xiao Fan had the thought, the massive stone door slowly rose, as if welcoming him inside.

"Alright, this Immortal Cave is now yours," He Yutang said, his voice much gentler than usual.

"Thank you, Elder He."

Xiao Fan cupped his fists and bowed to him, showing great respect.

On one hand, it was because the other man's cultivation was profound, but more importantly, when he had clashed with Shan Yanghui and that deacon wanted to sever his arm…

…it was He Yutang who had stood up and spoken for him.

"You are very good, and your talent is high. Cultivate here with peace of mind. If you need anything in the future, you can come find me…"

He Yutang held a very high opinion of Xiao Fan and even considered taking him as a Disciple. However, he didn't say it directly, planning to observe Xiao Fan for a while before deciding.

Xiao Fan bowed and thanked him once more.

A rare smile appeared on He Yutang's face as he transformed into a streak of light and departed.

Xiao Fan turned around and looked at the stone door of the Immortal Cave. Feeling the vigorous Spiritual Qi around him, a satisfied smile appeared on his face as he strode inside…

However, the sight after entering left Xiao Fan utterly shocked!!
