"Senior Brother, please give me your Identity Jade Token for registration."

He also noticed Chu Ning’s cultivation at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Chu Ning handed the Jade Token over to this cultivator, and the next moment, the elder exclaimed in surprise.

"So it’s Senior Brother Chu, the Chief Steward of the Alchemy Pavilion. I’ve heard of your name for quite some time.

Today, I finally get to see Senior Brother Chu in person."

As he spoke, the elder immediately stood up and cupped his hands in salute.

Chu Ning hadn’t replied yet.

"Are you Senior Brother Chu from the Alchemy Pavilion?"

Another young Foundation Establishment cultivator registering nearby heard the elder and immediately looked over, exclaiming in delight.

In the next moment, this person bowed deeply to Chu Ning.

"I am Zuo Zhonghao from Purple Bamboo Peak. Two months ago, I successfully established my foundation by taking the Foundation Establishment Pill refined by Senior Brother. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

I visited the Alchemy Pavilion to thank you personally, but I heard you were refining pills at the time, which was quite a regret.

I never expected to meet Senior Brother here, this is truly wonderful."

Hearing this, Chu Ning cupped his hands and responded:

"Junior Brother Zuo is too kind. The elixir was provided by the Sect, I am unworthy of such courtesy."

"Senior Brother Chu, you are mistaken." The registering elder cheerfully chimed in.

"Senior Brother Chu has refined a large number of Foundation Establishment Pills for the Sect, benefiting the entire Sect immensely.

I heard that Senior Brother also restored and perfected the Fire Control Technique of our Jiuhua Essence Condensing Pill, which is a significant contribution."

"Senior Brother Zhao is right, you deserve my bow, Senior Brother." At this time, Zuo Zhonghao was about to bow again.

Chu Ning, feeling a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry, waved his hand, using a burst of magical power to support him.

Preventing Zuo Zhonghao from bowing down further.

Feeling the surging magical power from Chu Ning’s support, Zuo Zhonghao was slightly stunned, showing a look of astonishment.

"Could it be Master Chu of the Alchemy Pavilion?"

Though Chu Ning had supported Zuo Zhonghao, others around him had also heard and looked over.

Many cultivators around immediately started to look over, and all of them either cupped their hands or bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Master Chu!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Chu!"

This wave of saluting even spread throughout the entire Task Hall.

Accustomed to living alone, Chu Ning had not expected to encounter such a scene upon visiting the main peak, repeatedly.

Feeling both surprised and curious, he could only cup his hands and say:

"Thank you, fellow disciples."

The elder surnamed Zhao seemed to notice Chu Ning’s discomfort and immediately spoke:

"Everyone, there’s no need to be overly courteous. Senior Brother Chu has a task to announce."

Upon the elder Zhao’s words, these cultivators immediately turned around, seemingly afraid of disturbing Chu Ning.

For a moment, Chu Ning’s face couldn’t help but show a bemused expression.

He never expected to have gained such reputation.

At this moment, the elder Zhao, smiling, spoke from the side:

"I’ve heard that Senior Brother Chu hasn’t been in the sect for long after following Elder Gong, and hasn’t visited the main peak before.

You might not know, but at Jiuhua Sect, contributions to the sect are always held in high regard.

No matter what task Senior Brother announces, it will certainly receive great attention from the disciples. Those capable will even rush to fulfill it."

Chu Ning, hearing the elder’s words, felt a new wave of surprise and bewilderment.

Zuo Zhonghao, on the other hand, hurriedly chimed in:

"Yes, I’m curious about what task Senior Brother will announce. I’ve had nothing to do since establishing my foundation.

I just want to see if there’s a chance to contribute."

Looking at Zuo Zhonghao and the smiling, silent elder Zhao, Chu Ning nodded slightly.

Then he revealed the tasks he wished to announce for this visit.

"Concentration Grass, Earth Store Flower, and Black Flood Dragon Blood!"

The elder Zhao was recording Chu Ning’s words onto a crystal-like object.

Then in the next moment, voices began to echo within the Task Hall.

"Master Chu has announced a task: Concentration Grass. Wasn’t it said to be near the Black Dragon Pool before?"

"Yes, yes, I’ve heard of that too."

"Earth Store Flower, it should be growing at Myriad Phenomena Cliff..."
