Elder He faces was filled with shock "Protector Ning, although you have high status in the sect you know only the Sect Leader can make someone a guest elder, right?"
Elder Ning laughed and thought to himself "if you witnessed what I witnessed you wouldn't be questioning me either."
Seeing Elder Ning's just laugh without responding Elder He didn't press on the topic and he grabbed a talisman from his desk. He inserted his Qi and the talisman turned green, Elder He nodded "Protector Ning, go to the Main Sect Hall, the Sect Leader is currently in there."
Elder Ning nodded his head and left the room, Meng Hao followed closely behind. Elder He was left in the room dumbfounded "There hasn't been a new Guest Elder in over 10 years and Protector Ning wants to make a kid a Guest Elder, this must be a joke."

Elder Ning and Meng Hao walked towards the Main Sect Hall, the outside was embroidered with expensive materials showing off the true wealth of the Verdant Supreme Alchemy Sect. After all, the Sect could extort a lot of money from the other sects without repercussion since everyone relies on these pills to breakthrough.
Elder Ning pushed open the front doors and led Meng Hao into the innermost part of the Sect Hall, the Chamber of the Sect Leader.
Inside the Chamber was a middle-aged man, he had a strong jaw line and deep blue eyes. His hair was a bright blond color and the hair seemed to touch his shoulders. He was wearing a green robe with tons of pockets which seemed to be filled with herbs and ingredients. The breakthrough to the Spirit Fusion stage seemed to make him younger and Meng Hao could see many young girls falling for this mans face.
The Sect Leader had a confused face and asked "Protector Ning, why did you call me out, I have just broken through to the Spirit Fusion Stage and I wanted to brew some pills to establish my realm."
Protector Ning bowed "I am sorry Leader Guo Mo, congratulations on your recent breakthrough, but there is something we need to discuss."
Leader Mo and Elder Ning saw down at the tea table nearby, Elder Ning slowly relayed what happened at the Branch Sect. When Meng Hao heard the way Elder Ning saw the event he was kind of embarrassed by the way his 'bravery' was described, but he kept his uncaring and unfeeling face.
Leader Mo also kept a straight face but he couldn't hide his shock completely as his eyebrow lifted up a little. Anyone who heard that a 12-year-old child passed the Defiant Tribulation would think the other person was crazy. Even in legends, there were no stories of such young children doing such incredible acts, Leader Mo looked towards the child who kept his chilling face and now felt a little bit respectful.
After relaying the story Elder Ning relayed Meng Hao's demands "He wishes to become a guest elder of our sect. He also wants a monthly salary of Merit Points."
Leader Mo looked down in thought "He then looked at Meng Hao, okay we can give you the position of Guest Elder but for the monthly salary I need you to do one task."
Meng Hao asked coldly "What is this 'task', if it is something ridiculous like marrying or being someone's bodyguard then it is a no."
Leader Mo shook his head "It has something to do with being a bodyguard, in 1 month there is going to be a secret realm opening called the Yunqi Secret Realm. Other sects will also be entering the Secret Realm through their own entrances. The gate that links to the Secret Realm can only allow Qi Movement cultivators and below to enter. If you help protect the other disciples while they are in this realm then I will allow you to have a monthly allowance."
Meng Hao thought for a while, he then answered: "Okay, I will accept if you give me these items, and if I don't complete this mission successfully then I will be a slave to the sect."
Meng Hao wrote the ingredients for the Devil's Wind Sword and handed it to Leader Mo. He looked at the list and his eyes widened "You can fight, perform alchemy, control spirit formations, and you can forge spiritual weapons? What kind of monster are you?"
Meng Hao shrugged "Forging is just a little hobby, if I can get this sword then my job protecting the disciples will be much easier.."
When Leader Mo heard Meng Hao say that Forging was just a hobby he felt like he was going to throw up blood, but he pushed it the blood back down his throat and gave his decision "Okay, we will get you the items, but be ready to lead the sect disciples when the gates open and remember your promise- if you fail then you will be tied to our sect."
Leader Mo took out a scroll, signed it with his name, and handed it to Elder Ning. Elder Ning grabbed the scroll, bowed to Leader Mo, and beckoned Meng Hao to follow him.
They both went back to the Elder's Pavillion and back into Elder He's office. Elder, He saw the two walk back and he was about to ask what Elder Ning was thinking when he said this child was a Guest Elder. But immediately Elder Ning pulled out the scroll and Elder He stood up in shock "YOU GOT THE GUEST ELDER SCROLL!!!"
The shout reverberated throughout the Elder's Pavillion and those who were present started to whispering about who became the new guest elder.
