However, there were many strange and puzzling aspects to this situation.
He only remembered falling into a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the management hall of the Nine Absolute Sect, specifically at Yunjue peak.
Fortunately, just after his arrival, as he opened his eyes, his memories began to merge, leaving him in a dazed state and slow to react for several moments.
If he had made a fool of himself, it wouldn't have mattered too much, but if someone had taken notice of him, it would surely lead to disaster. After all, this was the world of cultivation, where getting you to confess the truth could be incredibly easy, not to mention the existence of soul collection techniques.
The reason he had come to Yunjue peak today was that his residence in the sect was about to expire. To be more precise, due to insufficient points in the sect's living area, his accommodation would be reclaimed in seven days.
The Nine Absolute Sect claimed to have one hundred thousand Outer Sect Disciples and three thousand Inner Sect Disciples.
The distinction between Outer Sect Disciples primarily lies in their cultivation levels.
Disciples at the early and mid-stages of Qi Refinement are considered Outer Sect Disciples, while those at the late stage of Qi Refinement—specifically those at the seventh level or above—are classified as Inner Sect Disciples. Only Inner Sect Disciples are allowed to reside in the nine inner peaks and enjoy the benefits of the Spirit Veins there.
Outer Sect Disciples live in the outer peaks, which only have first and second-tier Spirit Veins, far inferior to the third and fourth-tier Spirit Veins found in the inner peaks.
Moreover, according to sect regulations, Outer Sect Disciples must independently complete one hundred sect tasks each year to maintain their right to reside there.
Of course, these one hundred points do not go back to the sect.
They still belong to the Outer Sect Disciples and can be used within the sect to purchase magical tools, elixirs, talismans, and so on.
The establishment of this one hundred points requirement is merely to ensure that Outer Sect Disciples can participate in sect affairs rather than simply occupying space without contributing anything.
After all, first and second-tier Spirit Veins are still Spirit Veins; placed elsewhere in the Wasteland, they could sustain some low-level cultivation families.
Li Youran was feeling anxious as the deadline approached and his points had not yet met the required standard. He thought about seeking help from his acquaintance, Senior Xiao, to see if there was any way to negotiate a solution.
However, he was unaware of how his soul had dissipated in the grand hall, causing him to cross over into this body.
Outside the grand hall was another young man, Cheng Feng, who was considered a good friend. According to his memories, they had joined the Nine Absolute Sect together and maintained a good relationship.
Unlike Li Youran's predicament, Cheng Feng did not share such worries; his alchemy skills were significantly better than Li Youran's, easily meeting the minimum requirements set by their sect.
Unfortunately, since points could not be transferred, even though Cheng Feng had surplus points, it would not help Li Youran at all.
"Current identity: Taiyue Immortal Kingdom, Wasteland, Nine Absolute Sect, Yun Linfeng, Outer Sect Disciple.
Current dilemma: Insufficient points, facing the risk of having my residence reclaimed.
According to my memories and the sect's regulations, if one fails to meet the minimum point requirement, their residence will be reclaimed and they will have two options.
The first option is to retain the Outer Sect Disciple status and be assigned to work in an external industry of the sect. For the next ten years, one can apply for assessments each year. The difficulty of these assessments is much higher than that of a hundred sect tasks. If one fails to pass after ten years, they automatically lose their Outer Sect Disciple status and have no further ties with the sect.
The second option is to voluntarily give up the Outer Sect Disciple status and seek a living after leaving the mountain.
Most seniors who fall short on points are reluctant and choose the first option. However, after three to five years of drifting through life and coming to terms with reality, they often apply for a transition to the second option.
For them, passing the sect's assessment and returning is far too difficult.
And for me, it is no different."
So, I must do my utmost to stay on the mountain.
Currently, my only means is alchemy.
Moreover, I am just a beginner alchemist. Even if I give it my all, it will be very difficult to complete the task of earning one hundred points in seven days.
Could it really be that I have to test the pills with my own body?
No, I wouldn't be that foolish; the risk is too high. I don't want to end up crippled right after crossing over.
Even if I lose my residence, there will still be opportunities.
As long as I'm alive, there are chances. As the saying goes, "When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if one does not die, they can live for countless years."
Li Youran internally sorted out his situation and the difficulties he faced.
In his previous life as a mechanic, his greatest strength was clarifying problems and quickly finding solutions.
"There are always more methods than difficulties."
"Forget it; there are too many things to think about. I'll sleep on it."
Unexpectedly, when looking for a solution, clearing his mind and shifting his focus before revisiting the problem always led him to discover new ideas.
This was also a habit of thought from his previous life.
Underneath the Yunlin Peak, there lies a second-tier Spirit Vein with a high concentration of spiritual energy. The courtyard built upon it thrives under the nourishment of the Spirit Vein, experiencing a perpetual spring, making Li Youran feel completely at ease within it.
He stood up and turned to walk towards the bedroom, but paused slightly, furrowing his brow. He reached out his hand to touch the empty space before him, but found nothing.
"What is this...?"
Within his line of sight, a golden line slowly advanced from left to right.
Yet when he tried to touch it, there was nothing there.
In less than three breaths, the golden line reached the far right side as if it had come to an end, flickering three or four times before vanishing without a trace.
Just as Li Youran thought he was experiencing an illusion...
Swish!
A semi-transparent panel appeared before Li Youran.
